Littlebluey,
My DH is opposite of your hubby, he is super afraid of the cold. He cocoons himself every night in our aircon room! And he was commenting I never buy enough long sleeves for the baby! Hee....
Everafter,
I read that babies like to be swaddled in the first few months as they are used to the enclosed environment of our womb. I think if you use a normal blanket you must tuck the ends in a swaddling position to prevent baby from kicking the blanket up and covering their face which has a danger of suffocation. Some of the swaddling sacks/blankets are quite expensive $20 to $30, I got the Lucky Baby one which is about $12. Nice material.

<font color="aa00aa">re: swaddle blanket
I swaddled my son until he was around 3.5 mths bcos he likes to be swaddled. At first, only used either a receiving blanket (when going out) or a diaper (at home). After 1st mth, when he learnt to kick a lot, the receiving blanket and diaper cannot do a good job liao so we bought 3 swaddle blankets from Mum & Babe to swaddle him and to prevent him from kicking which really make the swaddling so much easier. </font>

LittleBluey,
Yeah I will not be using a blanket for baby already as I feel the swaddling sack/blanket is sufficient. Besides, I read that blankets are not recommended for babies unless its no higher then the chest level and securedly tucked into the sides and foot of the matteress.

I seldom use a blanket to cover my son. As what I mentioned, I swaddled my son until he was 3.5 mths old and after that, I started to let him use a dreambag until now. Dont feel safe to cover him with a blanket cos I'm afraid that he will kick his own blanket and cover his face and suffocate. </font>

It's something like a sleepingbag, trying to load a picture to show you but the image size is too big. See if I can do it later again. I bought 4 pcs from the BPs here, each not more than $50++.
Swaddle blankets do come in different sizes also. </font>

Hi <font color="0000ff">JusMe</font>,
This thread move very fast was busy reading only. hee... No, Dolly had not ask where I'm going to deliver. The nurse will only ask near ur delivery date. I'll be going back to TMC cos that's is more convenient for me. As for pricing, Mt A would be the cheapest.

<font color="119911">blur</font>>> but did u get the package rates from dolly? from her comparison, seems like Mt E cheaper leh...??? but Mt A more conv for us, although was quite tempting to choose Mt E hee... so they will ask us nearer the EDD right? or are we supposed to approach the hospitals ourselves?
Juz Me,
My gynea is oso at MT E. but oso delivers at Mt A. I went for the hospital tour at MT A. very nice environment. My gynea oso offer cheaper rate at Mt E. coz i tink coz he has a clinic there, tat's y. But Mt E always a lot of pple walk in and out. so in fact my hubby and myself prefer Mt A.

I guess the lesson is to teach us the basics and afterwhich, we can go do it our own.
Everytime, when i went to Mt E. I always have shocking experience with the car park. No space for my car. Think too many doctors there, took up too many space le and the valet guys really earn coz they seal up space for pple to velet their cars. and the parking fees is shocking as well.
