Thanks mousebb. Their neck is the scariest. My boy likes to wriggle a lot and throw his head here and there somemore. So makes it even tougher to put him in.

pupsik is good... but hor... I should have bought 1 size bigger. Now my big big breasts are in the way, and sometimes leak when baby presses on them while in the pouch!

Tell u all a lame joke abt my experience with stroller.
So far when we bring Bryan out together, we'll bring him in his stroller and my hb will b one to push it. One fine day while walking in Compasspoint, i couldnt take it anymore! I held my hb's hand and asked him : hey, can u wait for me??!! Y u always chiong so fast ahead while i had hard time chasing behind?! Stroller meant to be strolling and not in "ferrari" speed! #$%^&*(#$

we got a phil n ted double stroller, which weighs a whopping 10+kg and costs a bomb. I am not sure if it is that useful as it is so heavy, I cannot handle one-hand. Even with 2 hands, I really need to use my strength. Only my hubby can carry it in and out of the car with relative ease... hmm, afraid it will be a very expensive white elephant.
one time we used it - was pushing it from the carpark to the lift lobby. the stroller was so wide that we cannot push it in between the parked cars. have to stop, unload the stroller, close it up before we can squeeze it through!

my BabyBjorn is my SIL's
so it's the old BabyBjorn original. It's great!!! CH likes it! And I think it's better for baby's spine as compared to pouches and slings. He's basically sitting in an upright position with cushioned spine support. I think even if the neck not very strong also can use leh... just let baby face you first. When neck is strong, then can face outside. I got a pic of CH in it, but not with me now. I'll post tonight or tomorrow for you to see k?
Everytime CH is in it, he will quieten down and will be in a daze, looking at the things zooming past him... then he'll fall asleep... kekeke...

no i don't think so. even the new report carried in the newspaper n tv states its the US version and not europe or asia pac FMs
here is an extract from the press release:
"Has melamine ever been detected in Mead Johnson formulas?
No melamine has ever been detected in any of our products - either in the U.S. or in any other market in which our products are sold. We maintain stringent standards at all our manufacturing sites to ensure the high quality and safety of our products that our customers have come to expect from Mead Johnson for over 100 years."

WOW, your CH is as chubby as my girl. Hee. But I like your CH's complexion - no baby acne. Mine has a face full of baby acne
Bringing baby out
I never bought any stroller. I thought the sling would turn out perfectly. Just put baby in car seat, and when I reach my destination, just put baby in sling. But my girl doesn't like the sling
Tried putting her in a few times already, and each time, she would cry.

your girl how many weeks and how heavy? CH also had some baby acne and milia spots when he was born, but now clear already. So dun worry, your girl's face will get better
try the sling with baby only when she's fed and happy and in a good mood. Only when you get confident and can operate the sling well, then use it to bring her out.

No... the head will be up, coz there's actually a "head rest" behind to hold up his head and neck. This head rest can be folded down when baby is bigger and is facing forward.

the new models can carry in a variety of ways, diagonal, front, back.
not sure of the new cost. Mine was passed down from my SIL... think it was $175+.

Thanks whitepaper. Not cheap huh. Those slings that I have are the old type one.
littlealmond,
The cream that doc gave has steriods so dun use so much hor. My gal also has ezcema and I apply the california calendula cream and it's really good. My hubby likes it too. Even her diaper rash is gone. I used desitin creamy but I find that the calendula cream is better. Get from our supplier-Enya. Heehee!
jollyhappy,
Ya, me also thinking about getting the pupsik pouch. My stroller is too bulky for me to handle it alone with baby.

yah lor, CH's thighs are really... fat!!! that's why his diaper size getting bigger, his waist area still loose but the thigh area cannot squeeze in le!!!
heard before (Mrs Wong also mentioned) that babies who are on total BM will have very fat and firm thighs. Maybe that's why...
Jen
Yes I agree, I really like the BabyBjorn! And yes can put baby in even if he's asleep, coz no need to squeeze him in and disturb his sleep like slings...
jollyhoppy
yes hubby can use!!! can release us ladies from slinging baby and prevent hubby from finding an excuse! my hubby loves it
Enya
I also got a sling and a pouch. But prefer the Bjorn... though it doesn't look as trendy, but super practical. And I thought it's better for baby's spine too! Haven't tried the Ergo, should be good as well?
I would say the Bjorn will be a good investment.
I THINK BABYBJORN SHOULD GIVE ME SOME PERKS OR SOMETHING... I'm like selling their product here.

p.s. whitepaper, going to heed your advice this afternoon. put her in sling after she's been burped and fed and walk around for 5-10 minutes. then gradually increase time spent in sling.. u reckon that's doable?
going through the maya pouch vid now
wish me luck. i'ld take a pic at the end of the week if successful.
i hope to gradually bring her down for morning marketing, park walks then ambitiously to bedok library.
sigh. me have no life.

sighhh... times are bad... gotta earn some commission even at 5.30am lor
yes do-able, just put baby in pouch when she's fed and contented. baby might even fall asleep! CH fell asleep in the sling the first time I tried it at home. GOOD LUCK!!! keep on trying until you perfect it. May not happen at the first try, but keep on trying.
