twin, i was considering that $1000 bed also but decided against it in the end. bedding is one issue. i also think the kid might be sick of the bed even before it finishes its life span it's still cheaper to get cot that can covert to junior bed, then buy another nice bed for him when he's sick of the current one. with that amt spent, i can buy 3 beds liao, haha. and with a normal cot, i also got more choice with bedding, coz' i was eyeing the aussino bedding set for a long while...

I did notice my boobs sagged abit and it become slightly smaller. But with no regret at all. It's worth to breastfeed the baby long no matter what.
Now pregnant again, boobs become big and firm again lol... somehow feel better looking at it. Lol~ And also for me my boobs sag i think is mainly because i overworked my boobs!? I expressed the milk after every latch-on then continue to use hand to manually expressed the milk and make sure i empty the duct till no sinle drop so as to prevent blocked duct and increase milk supply, maybe due to the pull and squeeze when I hand expressing.
serriz, will update you if i got mine for my girl.

Just before i got them recently (like a mth ago), same like u, i was just applying the Mothercare stretchmarks cream like only 4x per wk. Too lazy. Now i apply like once in the day + once at nite before i sleep(after shower)! THen i got the Palmers cream (recently got TVC)from a colleague cos she din use it much and i've started to use it now. Hopefully it helps! Sighs..

You said you got the car seat at 40% discount. Any idea how long the discount promo will be?
Looks like many mummies will be going for Taka sale. Happy shopping! Too bad I cannot go.

annabel's mommy,
I took about 1 tablet max a day. And I just took on alternate or every few days.
By the way, did you mention about sending your gal to GUG at age 1 yr old? I was glancing through the threads and I thought some mummy mentioned about sending the child at 1 yr old.

Yah my girl is with GUG, started her with them when she is 16 months i think and followed them for 2 term only, just stopped cos find that their teaching flow is alway the same, but still not bad since my girl do pick up something from them. Now more into educate her at home instead. We are thinking of sending her to shichida method instead.
annabel's mommy,
oops, sorry I think it was M2B who said she sent her gal to GUG at 1 yr old.
M2B,
You mentioned you sent your daughter to GUG at 1 yr old. Was looking at the website, they have a programme for babies 0-18 mths? Was just wondering how much they can absorb at that age, plus the caregiver needs to accompany the child too.

valnsw,
I read that since birth till i think 3 year old is the best time to simulate them. You will be surprise that they do absorb alot things the younger they are since they can still sit still to learn. My girl is the oldest in the class when we attend the 0 - 18 months class. she is the only one who cannot sit still to learn, keep running about. But still she do absorb something lah.

reirei,
I still have the stroller and car seat to settle. I was just thinking whether to buy the stroller after bb is about 3-4 months to let her test which model she likes.
Car seat, still looking around. Aiyo.. it's like endless searching
RE: birthing video
I found it kinda gross but I guess that kinda mentally prepares me for the process. I doubt my hubby will be of any help ah.. I don't think he can even remember the techniques. He damn funny, like last sat when I experienced some cramps and BH, he just said do the abdominal muscle breathing... without telling me "breathe in deep, and breathe out".

Annabel's mommy,

I was more set on sending my child to Montessori school once hit the minimum entry age. Never thought about before 1.5 yrs old. Perhaps I should think about it and look around.

You r right, should get hubby to do it and its FREE but his skills make me wonder...

Im worried abt the vadilation in the shop. Scared later breathe in too much of that air not very good. furthermore, MIL say cannot do foot reflex during preg and pedicure does inlcude some messgaing on the toes and feet so tot not tat good.
Re: Taka Vouchers
Its ok to use Taka Vouchers upon discounts. I used it the last time unless they change the rules. The vouchers act as cash not discount. Just use the vouchers to offset the bill after discount.

Little Twin Stars: Yea let's work towards our stop-the-stretchy-marks goal k! At least it stops better than getting it worse rite! Haha..

valnsw,
you can try to read up the Glenn Doman books. It talks quite abit about teaching the baby since birth and how the brains absorb much more when young. If you read chinese, the shichida books are also quite detailed, but in chinese
Actually I'm intending to start DD next time at 6 mths at either Shichida or igenius. Also even at 3 months you can already start using flash cards with baby
Sorry if i sound too kia su
re: prams
how come all your hubby likes the light ones like combi. My hubby dont like. He say some weight is good so it's more stable.
little twinstar,
I dono if I got stretch marks or not lei. After I switch to the Clarins Oil, got some small red dots. Now I panic .. will they become stretch marks ?? oh no ...

huichin,
mine is at lower abdominal. it started on the right. now the left also have. yeah, i also noticed the marks after i feel that my tummy is about to "burst" it feels super stretched so i checked n lo and behold the marks appear. perhaps that is the tell tale signs? very uncomfortable right? i also feel like i'm going to explode and wander how much more can my skin take it
catherine,
it shouldn't be dots. maybe u are just having some heat rash from the weather. don't worry, just apply lots of oil. but find which brand works for u .
