[angel_z]

MLP: oh.. is it? i thot its paternity leave.. cos he was talking about fathers sharing the load with mothers..

[feliciarosey]

<font color="aa00aa">shycloud/ piyo,
About mixing FM and BM, i ever discussed it before with some of my friends. And actually we found out tat mixing FM with BM is not recommended. I saw below article which might be helpful.

[angel_z]

sigh.. so sian.. we jus gave birth not long ago and we missed the 16 weeks maternity leave and increased baby bonus and tax incentives for 1st baby..

 

[shern]

more subsidies for childcare

we aim for no 2 lor &amp; some for no 3 hehe

 

[roooller]

hey the 1 week infant leave is UNPAID huh?

 

[shern]

hi felicia, read bout it too, but like my fren she dun mind wasting her bm so always discard after 1 hr

 

[toscaong]

16 weeks ?!!! kidding !!! thiknk my employer dont wanna employ me liaos PPP

Veniz : what time is your gathering till ? I think i can only make it after lunch - there will be chit chat session right

Tomorrow : What's on tomorrow again ? Am thinking of going to town !!! heehee

 

[angel_z]

rooller: i thot i heard unpaid too.. dun know leh..

k ong: haahaa.. i think have to stagger the 16 weeks leave loh..

 

[angel_z]

k ong: veniz said the gathering at her place will last ard 5 then she'll have to clean up cos her husband coming back and she needs to go bring her baby back too..

 

[feliciarosey]

<font color="aa00aa">shern, is not only the matter of waste but the composition of the nutrient oso change leh. Tats why not recommended to mix 2 together.

But hor, my friend whom TBF for one year, manage to change her son to FM within one week, without mix both together. She just gave her son BM and FM on alternate feed.</font>

 

[jn80jn]

hahaha...so many will be trying for another one soon...since 16weeks....but is it paid by govt?

 

[angel_z]

jenny: yes.. its paid by govt..

 

[tinyfeet_tf]

haha, my hubby oso say unpaid n i say paid (thinking unpaid we can get it ourselves anytime wat) and we are on bet But i tot i heard unpaid too.

 

[angel_z]

Haahaa.. got both items (jus saw the news):

1) childcare leave increases from 2 to 6 days (should be paid)

2) infant care leave (unpaid) can be taken up to 1 week for either parent

 

[mylittleprince]

i think i heard unpaid too...

 

[buffer]

WOw long post!

Didnt watch rally. Was tied down by kids man.
Guess tomorrow Straits Time will provide all the details bah. Anyway the BB bonus stuffs wont be attractive to me liao cos having 2 is enough nonsense... So close stop chop hahaha!

Veniz,
I wont be joining on thurs. My #1 still unwell though she is behaving as per normal and active, I will prefer to playsafe she wont spread any virus to the bbs. I am now unwell again too. Sore throat and sudden no voice! Hai.

 

[mylittleprince]

K Ong, u gg for #3? hee...

 

[toscaong]

angel : thanks !

wow ... infant leave too - tt's very good, esp for fathers ...

 

[angel_z]

k ong: but unpaid leh.. sigh.. but i guess better than nothing la.. if not fathers will have to use annual leave..

 

[toscaong]

[mylittleprince]

[iamsnow]

[iamsnow]

[roooller]

[iamsnow]

roooller,

[roooller]

iamsnow,
wait i kanna toto, i will hv #4 too lolz

 

[chamia]

K ong, the gathering at my house will be from 12.30pm to 5pm. Dun bother to make cupcakes lar, thanks for your offer.

Amberlyn &amp; Cynthia, noted. Do rest well ok, and take care of yourselves.

Angelz, you are almost right about the end of my gathering. I will clean up house then go and fetch galgal myself, not my hb come fetch me then go together. He find its a waste to do everything together, we prefer to do seperate to speed up things and have more times for individual's matters.

I will post the latest updated list with most of my address details in a shortwhile.

 

[chamia]

Waw, you all cheonging for #3 or more huh? Me no life liao, cannot cheong, two enough, be it really for incentive or not. The some additional money also not enough to see our own children till they finish sch. Also, I find these are the surface good news, they will be binded by some strict T&amp;Cs. See it this way, govt not so good to offer lots of benefits. The more they offer, the more they take from us later.

 

[liteonmag]

Hey Veniz, I totally agree wif what u say abt the govt not so good part. It has been proven many times in many ways.

Anyway, I'll c u at Anchor Point tomorrow. I'll b there wif my bb. ^_^
