nanny,
I mean with the infant carrier, then the bb can use that with the stroller for the first 6months? And it can be use as car seat for the first 6 months?
littlebluey, vanilla,
Yeah. Everything here is expensive. So I need to stock up and buy my stuff before coming back here with the bb next time. Sweat.

Yeah! Capella family!!! Haha

Thank kiddy palace sale should be till end June bah
I'll be getting a cot bed too, so that baby can use til about 4 years old - can convert to become a bed
everafter
I bought at Kiddy Palace Toa Payoh. Think $223. Bought with my bottles etc.
Mommies
Remember - if you go out alone with baby, you'll need a stroller that you can open and close with one hand. Easier that way. As for combi compared to capella, I feel that it's not really worth it to spend more for combi, though it's really lighter. I find the strollers narrower.

car seats
Mommies may want to consider getting a reversible car seat. I got one which can turn to face the back when baby is less than 9 months old, then turn to face front after that, until baby is 4 years old. The seats are fully reclinable too, so that baby can lie down when small vs. sit up when older. I think it's more worth it than getting an infant car seat and storing it in the storeroom after 4 months
just a suggestion

Can't remember the brand and model, definitely not one of the expensive ones! But of course still fulfill Singapore's safety standards. I got it at $296 at IMM Kids Mall. Got $220 voucher so in the end spent only $76! Mommies can try IMM Kids Mall. They have alot of reversible car seats. Combi also has reversible car seats. Think $799. Mothercare also has a good range, expensive though. I got a more affordable one so that I can change it anytime due to wear and tear etc.

mousebb,
Dun worry about ur son rashes. It will appear after kid having high fever. it will disappear within a wk. My pd did say it is something like "pai du". So dun worry. Did ur son feel it itch? My son last time will feel itch n pd did give him some 'special' lotion to apply.
My son also very stick to me. I also quite worry whether i can cope with 2. Like u, worry that I will neglected him.
i m also SAHM n the only one take care my son. Maybe we can share our experience/ encourage each other when 2nd is out.
Hi all mummy,
I m 2nd time mum and in my 19 wk. But I still not really get to feel baby movement, 3-4 days having 1 kick only. Is it ok? should I look for gynea? My appointment is 2 wks later and my gynea will be away next week. Am I worry too much? Thought 2nd time mummy can have the feeling quite fast leh... but i m not. can give me some advice?

forest,
if you do not want to spend alot on cot, you may consider buying 2nd hand cuz some of them may be in very good condition especially those wooden ones. Like mine, it's in almost mint condition thought have it for 2 years now.
My friend got it from salvation army for $25. she invested on a good mattress. Seen the cot, it's in very good condition.

Regarding baby carrier, i tried many brands, combi ninna nanna, MIM, ergo. etc. ERgo is the best. Cost the most, but worth it. my dd loves it 300%. it's the only carrier that she really slept well in cuz baby is in sitting position, unlike other carrier that usually hangs on the crotch that is bad for the baby's spine.
I had been using it for more than 1 year until I got pregnant 2nd round. So I switch to MIM lately or hand-carry. Ergo used to be something I used everyday and can't leave home without it.

Good morning mommies
If you are looking for a sling, you can try this:
http://www.goo-ga.com/shop
According to my colleague who has tried it, it's very good. Many hollywood stars are using it too, and the material and shape is quite different from the usual sarong slings we see. But of course, the shipping cost from US is quite ex. I'm waiting for my colleague's order to arrive, then decide if I wanna get one. Aiming for the reversible pink polka dot one

!
It's Friday!!!
Thanks, mummies! Had a good sleep last night! Everyone of us was like KO liao...
Karen
Thanks for sharing. His rashes seem to disappear quite a bit liao. The doctor at KKH gave him calamine lotion but so far I havent applied on him yet cos I dont think he feel itchy. I applied Johnsons & Johnsons bb powder for him regularly to keep his body dry and cool. Yup yup...we shall encourage each other hor!
Re: car seat
We also bought our car seat from either bb kingdom or hypermart. As what Enya said, these 2 places have a good variety, various from cheap to exp types... Bought ours at around $340++ and can be used from 4mth - 4 years old. Think it is reversible also.
Stroller
Wow! Think a number of mummies here have chosen Capella stroller. My boy's one is orange colour cos we werent left with many choices that time, only left with green, red and orange. I supposed orange is a more neutral colour and chose orange lor!</font>

rachel mum,
yes, i heard is normal.
And, if you are applying stretch mark cream, make sure you don't really "massage" your tummy since you experiencing contraction now... try to "tap" the cream on your tummy.
I heard from my colleague that is what her gynae told her as "massage" will activate/ encourage bb to come out .... hahha

rachel's mommmy,
you feeling contraction now? better monitor closely and inform your gynae during next visit.
my colleague used to experience contraction in 2nd trim for her 2 sons and they are pre-matured borned at 32 weeks coz cant wait any longer... the contractions getting too strong.
mousebb,
take more soupy and less oily things and in the evenings dont lay down or sleep immediately after food. it's terrible feeling for heartburn. cool ice cream works for me ease that aweful feeling.</font>

My heartburn started with the japanese cup noodles which I took on wed night and somemore that day I slept very very late. Till now, the terrible feeling is still there. I dont know if softdrink has made it worse cos I keep drinking softdrink, trying to get rid of that terrible feeling. Hmm...this will give me a good excuse to have ben & jerry ice-cream tonight!</font>

Thanks! How are you feeling today? Already back to work?
Trace
Will ask my gynae tomorrow when I go for checkup. Feel paiseh to sms him over this small matter. When I was expecting my boy, I also had heartburn problems frequently. I guess it depend on the food I eat and my bb's mood also. There were a few occasions when I had buffet dinner with friends and after that go home to sleep and feel ok. My hubby said bcos my girl doesnt like japanese cup noodles and is protesting! hahaha!</font>
