MLP,
soon yr boy will get out of bogeh club liao cos me also feel the sharp sharp tooth coming out of Chloe's and abt few days later the tooth appear liao so wait a few more days and chloe tends to drool more also and loves to suck her thumb/fingers also.
 


Veniz, you're working at hbf as well? Wow. We stay near each other, then to find that we also work near each other. What a coincidence. Hahaha...

I can't confirm for this Friday. Might be out of office. Must wait for further instructions from my boss. Usually her instructions are very last minute so better not confirm with you first.

Shinely, if your reno includes lots of built in cabinets etc, will be more expensive cos workmanship for carpentry is very exp.
 
actually i oso got dilute FM before. 1st 2 weeks i am on partial and give similac milk, i got dilute a tiny bit cos heard from colleagues similac is quite constipative.
 
I tink is bec the bb is ored diarroe liao. then still go and dilute the milk. then vomit?

anyway the fren blame on the wife for believing forummers advice.
 
Ellysia, I thought Similac is advertised to be less constipative than other FMs? Gosh... I didn't know. Abbott sent me a booklet after Matthew was born, and there was this advertisement about the constitency of a similac fed bb's stool being similar to a BM fed bb's stool.
 
busy morning...

chloemummy...
when u say dilute...how? teach me leh i also wanna dilute cos sometimes she dun finish the milk...as compared to BM

which FM chloe's drinking?
 
hi all !!!

Cactus : glad to see you posting

ND's girl : Detinol or Detinx (spelling ??!!) from most pharmacies - ask and the staff can show it to you

ellysia,
maybe vomitted cos of wind in tummy or other reasons. Cos my nanny give chloe lots of water also cos formula milk sometimes is heaty so need more fluid and ok for her lah *touch wood* hehhehe.
 
Chloe,

me not giving FM since bb is 2 weeks old. am on total bf since 2 weeks old. but when i wean off tat time, will give similac again..

however i may also need to consider to give a hypoallergic formula instead... anyway few mths later then see how. still want to give BM.
 
Shinely, another way to save is to do the ID yourself, then employ a main contractor to do the reno. You can buy magazines and see what type of designs you'd like for your place.

The main contractor will then copy the design and carry out the reno. He will also liaise with the electrician, carpenters etc to get everything done. Some main contractors will even have discounts on fixtures etc. You also buy the lights etc and he'll fix it up for you. A bit more work, but you save on the commission you need to pay the ID and also on the ID costs.
 
K Ong, hi hi! I'm sorry for the string of sms-es I sent you on Monday. Just felt sad. But I'm feeling better now. I'm happier when I have other things to focus on and happier to be back at work.
 
ellysia,
ya BM is better of cos

Me tried giving chloe earthbest pear puree and she love it and her poo poo also quite soft after taking tat so tink do help also bah.
 
Krispy, that's what I suggested to Shinely, but she's busy with her bb.. quite understandable. I'm quite busy finalising the home purchase also... someone just reminded me I need to buy home insurance! :p so many things to do. I'm not even thinking of renovations proper.
 
Cactus, paiseh. I really thought you all change houses. Actually, I think it'd be a great time to invest in property a year from now. The recession would have set in and prices would be at an all time low.

<font color="0077aa">cactus

i think it stil boils down to individual bb ba.. my side most of the ppl i noe gives Similac and no prob

Cactus, my baby on Similac since birth and so far, never had any constipation problems. Sometimes, stool is slightly harder like adult poo but that's it. Most times, it's soft and easy to come out.
 
But most colleagues said similac is quite "bu" cos more nutrients. so i tink is still quite good as long as no constipative probs.
 
Krispy, no pai seh lah...

I don't now if ppty is a good investment anytime. I'm very conservative. If I have extra cash, I will use it to pay off my loans, so that I can be debt free. I rather slog hard and long to earn money.. don't feel comfortable buying ppty for investment, then pay banks interest.. think - what if ppty pxs plunge.. banks may ask us to pay them the difference between outstanding loan amount and market value or force us to sell. If I had extra cash, I'd try to be debt free..
 
KrispyKreme, I dun work in HBF lar, I will going there on Friday for lunch thus thinking of asking you along. You let me know again, i will PM you my no k?

Shinely, in fact can just get contractor. If you want simply design, you can agar agar and tell contactor yourself. In fact, even if you get an ID, you will still need to choose your own tiles, lightings, toilet accessories, etc. Its only whether you go buy for them to fix for you, or they will bring you to the suppliers' places to choose and buy. You can just give them your concerns and a good ID will advice you.

Weiken is around my office area leh, very big wor.
 
Cactus, you're right about the risk factor. It's important to buy when prices are low, but then again, how can we be sure it's at a low right? Hahaha... So, no matter what, there will always be a risk involved when we invest in property.

For me, I'm not just concerned about being debt free. I'm also concerned about future income and I'd like to build up a portfolio of passive income. I think property is a good way of doing that cos if one plans well for the long term, make room for the economic ups and downs and ensure there is enough cash to pay the monthly installments, the property price will go up eventually. And in the meantime, I can enjoy the monthly rent.

That's just my opinion on it lar. Would like to retire early so am saving hard now to build up my investments.

Shinely,
Agree with Veniz. If simple design, contractor can liao. I also got a contractor to do the painting, building extra warrdobe, window ledges etc. If keen, let me know, I can PM you my contractor's nbr.

<font color="03b6ea"><font face="Comic Sans MS">anyone using enfalac? does it cause phlegm in ur bb? mine once in a while while hear the muscus moving up and down.. but not sure whether it's the milk powder tt cause it.. but normally after i gve him "hou zao san" he will vomit out the muscus..</font></font>
 
Shinely, just to add to veniz's post, there are some contractors who may ask you to choose from their own range of tiles/materials. They may quote a certain amount for the package that you take up. If you want a different material, you may have to pay a premium. I think this is not as good as going to the shop to buy yourself or to buy with th e ID contractor. If you are not that cost conscious (I'm very kiam one.. haha!) or if you don't have time, then it's ok.
 
cactus...

desowen cream was prescribed by (my previous) PD for rashes. pretty good for heat rashes..but it contains steroid.

btw my gal drinking mamil gold...so far so gd...
 
Krispy, yah.. who doesn't want to retire early?? It's also my dream and my hb's dream as well! But at least, for us, in our occupations, we rather choose a semi-easier lifestyle, for lower pay, in return, more time for Matthew and each other... My peers are now earning 30% more than me.. but they work till 10pm or beyond each day and start work at 9am. In contrast, I leave work at 530pm almost every day... I feel happier this way because I can see Matthew grow each day - I don't want to lose a day of his development, even if it means, I retire later than my peers. It's very enticing to buy ppty to rent out and get income... in land scarce Singapore, it seems to be the smart thing to do.. but I can' ttake the stress of knowing that I have a bank loan... and probably a big bank loan too. If I'm born very rich, can afford a home without loan (bank/parents/etc), can afford a car, have spare $ for Matthew's education, can retire at 50, I may buy another ppty.. but unfortunately,I'm not that lucky. :p
 
JP,
I almost bought Vicks and wanted to use it on my girl. Lucily I didnt. My mum was telling me that she uses vicks on us like anything when we were young and no problem at all. Nowadays, kids are so pampered.

Veniz,
I like ruyi oil too. Typical baby smell. We put a pillow on my bb's tummy when she sleeps and pillow will smell super nice. Hehe.
 
Cactus, Yeah. I also took a pay cut in order to leave work at 6pm everyday. If I had wanted higher pay, I would have to work till 3-4am during peak. In the end, family will still be more important.

I also don't agree with a big bank loan, that's why saving like crazy now. Haha... Feeling the stress now, but if it means I can retire maybe 5 years earlier. Why not rite? For me, I don't need much to retire lar. I can live with just simple necessities.

ok. Going for lunch now. Chat later.

ND's girl - When I was PG with #1 &amp; #2, I went to Taka (basement) to get my ginger crystals. Its ginger but coated with icing sugar...
happy.gif


Cactus - Same lah, me also like that...that's why my DH calls me "Ms kiam siap"
 
ginger crystals are yummy! Sweet, and hot and warm at the same time.... but hard to find good ones. Where do you get yours from, JP? Taka basement? mei wu is it? Or another shop?
