my ger refuses to sit inside the car seat herself so therefore i wil either sit behind with her or leave her with the maid who is sitting behind & usually i think the TP will be lenient on this issues unless u are sitting in the front pax seat den maybe TP wil den warn
& booster seat is for bigger toddlers </font>

Ellysia, booster seat is just something a small child sits on to make him higher up and he also wears the normal seat belt. I had it when I was younger. hated it!!
It is definatley safe to put bb in car seat but you need to train him from young. He needs to know if he wants to get into a car, he needs to be restrained. So even if it is not your car, say your parents/ILs' car, he needs to be put in a car seat. I think the best is to have the car seat follow the bb and not the car cos you never know when who may pick up your bb.
Depends on the size of your car, whether the car seat is front or rear facing, and whether there are air bags behind or infront of the car. Usually car seat is placed behind but in some situations, can be placed in front. depends on your car and the type of seat.

to share more about car seats - there are seats from newborn onwards, then from 9 months onwards. Booster seats are usually from 3 years old onwards. erm, there are some car seats/prams like maxi cosi. If you've not bought your pram, can consider those type.. cos no need to place your bb into the seat when he gets into the car. just need to unfasten the baby carrier, and place it as a car seat in your car (but note this is only for newborns to 9 months).
also, car seats in singapore are not regulated. but they are sold according to whether they have passed european safety standards. Some of them are approved in Europe, others are not. honestly, I feel if you only drive short distances and don't really go to Malaysia, it is okay to have bb in non-European approved car seats.

Anyone has bought those nursing bras with underwire support? Heard that this will prevent sagging boobs while still able to breastfeed easily while outside. Went to a shop yesterday and it's selling like $59.90 apiece.
Pls share if u have any lobangs to get these at a cheaper price.

crystal,
Thanks for your info on the fenugreek. Coz i was quite worry when i saw in the book written overdose will cause colic in baby but i'm not sure wat amt is overdose. Anyhow, might consider buying one to standby or wait till delivery.
Car seat : my ger oso dont like to sit in the car seat and i had to use cane to force her sit on it. But with this #2, if i were to put 2 car seat, i think nobody can sit behind liao, so even thugh my ger is not yet 3 yrs, maybe will change her to boaster seat soon.
Btw, i heard from my hubby, his collegue kana demerit point and fine due to his kid was not strap to the car seat leh.

thk u. me and hb considering to get a car, so we considering to get a car seat. My FIL do drive also, but unlikely he will ferry our bb cos he need the car for his business.
I also dunno wat car seat to get, whether can fit or not.. do u measure yr car before u go buy car seat or u just trial and error?
So how, if hb drive i shd sit behind with bb right.. not v safe to sit in front then leave bb behind unattended.

Morraine,
For me fenugreek will be my 'standby' list as during my 1st pregnancy i had hard time looking for the green papaya. I dare not taking pill to increase the BM as seems like there's side effect. I remember cactus even mentioned thre's pill to establish BM oso but not sure if the pill is the same i saw in one of the thread here.
In fact saw the breastfeeding for dummies, said that 1st week after delivery, our diet is very important to establish our BM. Once our BM is establish, frequent latch on or expressing will help to build up the BM.

Felicia, maybe you can get a smaller car seat for your #2? Booster seat is a good idea too.
Ellysia, my car seat is for newborn to 4 years old. Not european safety tested though.Very cheap. only $130+ from kiddy palace. We dun have our own car but will need car seat for those occassional trips between our parents' homes.

cactus,
Most probably wont get a new car seat for #2, coz will be too waste on $$. Coz i still had a baby carrier which can temporary use as car seat. Just tat i'm not sure is is legal for my ger whom is still under 3 yrs old to use a boaster seat or not?

Ellysia,

my understanding is booster seat is suitable for bigger sized/older kids. car seats generally are suitable for kids up to 3 or 4 years old. depending on the make of the seat. There is also a weight issue too.
In Singapore, TP is not that strict, but can never tell when they will issue summons loh. better play safe than sorry. that's how I feel. if kid is very ver yfussy and refuse to be in the seat, at least just keep the seat in the car boot to plead for compassion with TP... better than no car seat at all.

Morraine,
Can meh? Coz i tot is compulsory for kid below 8yrs must either use boaster or car seat? In fact i got a collegue, nvr use any car seat or boaster seat for her son. And she's real lucky, untill now, her son in P1, nvr meet any TP.
ellysia,
Agreed with Mor tat get a car seat can fit into car booth is important. When we brought the car seat, we nvr consider this factor, so, everytime we had to struggle trying to put the car seat into car booth.

Hi Fennie & ioio, during the confinement period, will be wearing those non-wired ones. Think I will wear non-wired ones till the milk supply is stable. Just thought of getting those wired nursing bras to provide better support after that. So u gals just buy those non-wired nursing bras and other than that, it's the normal bras?

mylittleprice,
i have wired nursing bras which i now wearing it sometimes cos my non-wired bras is not enuff for whole week usage.
The problem with wired bra is tat once yr breast expand, the wire sometimes cut into the breast and cause pain. Cos u need to wear extension but the wire does not fit nicely for yr breast liao.
Then i understand tat our breasts will further expand during breastfeeding, so not advisable to get wired ones. I regretted and now i am slowly buying non-wired (but got shape one so the nipple can't be seen from clothes). I ored got non-wired ones for home use.

Dan,

I think the best measurement is can get the physical car seat and put in ur car to do some testing before buying but i'm not sure if the seller is ok with it or not lah. Coz i think is quite hard to judge by seeing, even measurement oso not sure how to take.
Morraine,
i get wat u mean liao. So sometime is either 'heng' or 'suai' thing loh. hehe.....

mylittleprince,
as i intend to breastfeed my bb for at least 6 months, so i will be only wearing nursing bras for those 6 months cos its easier for me to bf the bb, i actually also bought few pieces which are strapless, like a tube bra, freesize one, as i have bought some nursing tops which are spagetti straps, and also racer back design, cant wear normal nursing bras with those tops

Ellysia, thanks for sharing on that! HENG arh, I haven't buy any wired nursing bras yet. I'm usually wearing non-wired bras at home and it's super comfy.
