(2008/11) November 2008

yoyosan, we same same. First time mum? Hb and I also thought everything jus buy Avent brand, no need think so much. hehe.

mummies, when I went TMC for DS last week ... this guy walking ard and gave me this brochure abt this expresso thing where the machine will sterilise all bottles and dispense correct proportion of formula milk and hot water into the milk bottle one. Cost $300+ i think. Looks good. But I already bought the Avent sterilizer so dun think will spend money to get that expresso machine.
 


Haru: so sweet of your boss wife!!!! my mum will be buying for me the cot...so i am happy i dun have to worry spending so much money too.
 
bladers, I'm not too sure if avent sterilier fit other brand of bottles. Lazy to ask ard so jus decided to get everything from Avent.
 
Problem with avent is that the parts you must used back avent...other teats like nuk and pigeon cannot fit avent and avent cannot put into pigeon sterilizer....

where r u staying now? i think it is alwys hard to make decisions whenever kids is concerned. despite u being a working mum, your boy is v sticky to u, can tell u put lots of quality time together..
helper shld be in tis 2 wks..

<font color="0000ff">jo</font>
i didn't really use much of bb cot except to put bb's stuff, hee! my boy's leg kena trapped when he tried to flip, ouch! actually playpen w raise platform is gd enuf.
 
Hi ladies, where do you store your breast pump and bottles after sterilising them? i heard from other threads they store the pumps in the fridge. wierd? and the bottles, they just leave it outside....is that how some of you store it?
 
jo:
yea. you and hb sama sama thinking as us. Just get everything same brand, at least avent quite easy to get anywhere. And they seem to also cover all the ranges.

Blessed mum:
hmm.. shdn't they be stored in the sterilizer after sterilising? the sterilizer can keep for about 8 hrs if dun open up. So i guess can just leave it inside bah. how does other mummies do it?

Hi guys! only free now.. wat a crappy day.. so much shit at work. damn sian...

Lovedogs, actually if the source of raw stuff is not clean, then the chance of getting parasites is much higher. For raw fish, u risk the chance of getting flukes. Raw meat, u get flukes, tapeworms and hookworms. aft taking that module i nv ate raw stuff again. not even medium.. everything is well done. the photos my prof took was horrible!!

Fifi, thanks for the link! see who got the luck.

Re: steriliser
Avent has this rack thingy that might limit the amt of bottles u put in. i rem that pigeon's steriliser is bigger. do rem that u have to steriliser ur breast pumps too. Anyway i m prob getting Pigeon cos it cost half the price of Avent!

Re: Cot vs Playpen
I m getting a cot. i think playpens are a bit filmsy leh.. i prefer it to be more sturdy. there are some cots that can be converted into junior bed so most prob will be getting something like that. Somebody suggested using a mattress on the floor but i find that it puts the bb in close proximity to dust. also u need to bend up and down so might lead to backaches in the long run.
 
Wow, so many posting in a day...

Blessed mum,
I also saw the steriliser and the warmer just now at kiddy place. I think it is cheaper than other brands. I'm thinking of buy that too but is there any warranty?

Milderina,
Wow ur gynae is so good can give you HL. Mi also running out MC left 4 days only. I also hope that my gynae can give me HL the next time i visit him.

Wtan,
My hb also wanna get a fengshui master to name my boy. Can i have the feng shui master contacts, pls? Thanks.

Jo,
I thought my hb is the only one that don wanna buy baby cot. Haha, we share the same fate. Just now when we went to kiddy place, saw the bath tub, he even wanted to buy the bath tub to use as bb bed. So dangerous. Stupid suggestion.

Lovedog, Lilian,
Hihi, i also stay very near to both of you. Along tampines ave 7 @ st 42. i think just 2 bus stops away.

So sian. Having piles, go toilet also difficult. Very painful and it start to bleed when i pu pu. I think i should eat more fruits. Anyone having piles also?

Yes, weekend is coming. My malaysia friend is driving me to jb to shop over the weekend. Hope to get some good buy over there especially with the good exchange rate now
 
fifi> got ur invitation! thks. but fill all the way.. end up got error message.. will try again then. hee..

wtan> u got bear email for the contact list? my email is in there. hee..

bibi: i tink has warranty so delay buying so maximise warranty period.

bear: ya, i saw a pic of a caucasian man who claimed he has suffering headaches and cant cure it, went to doc had a neuro scan and found out his brain all parasites (did a cross section of his head to open skull) the pic was horrifying, my HB always scold me for eating too much raw food, oysters and sashimi...actually what he says is true, not good..now 9 mths abstain from sashimi hopefully after tat wont like it as much
 
wtan: slowly does it lor. my son grew v fast in the first few years then i realise this year he has slowed down a bit. but let him continue to be active within safe limits. but the sinseh told me after age 2, can feed them the cheaper brands of milk like nespray &amp; dumex - things we ourselves grew up on. she said gain &amp; all those r over-fortified. may make them hyper &amp; sometimes bad tempered.

u r right abt one thing, shd feed less sugar. my mum hates sweets &amp; ribena. she says nothing but sugar &amp; empty calories. remember the childhood tv ad abt ribena "my mummy says it is good for me"? my mother says "ribena is bad for me"!

my MIL also said at puberty, can feed boys tien chi to make them grow taller. so not to worry.

fifi: thanks for the link.

Blessed Mum: so lucky! but i shdn't be too greedy becos i already got 1 free cot from my sis in law. i go check the email from fifi then i forward to u. PES is some other kind of plastic. not sure what it stands for but it is bpa-free. pigeon PES bottles r v expensive!

mummies: do u notice a lot of ads in this thread lately?

ok, time to go pay bills. see everybody on monday morning.
 
Bear, Bear: can add one more place. i checked out ocbc, there's 1 for 1 at triple 3. but up to maximum of 4 ppl (i.e. 2 free) per table. who has ocbc platinum card?
 
Dear Madams,

PLEASE HELP US BY COMPLETING THIS SURVEY:

http://FreeOnlineSurveys.com/rendersurvey.asp?sid=3q1i4mxe2ccm38v459808

We are five students from Raffles Junior College who will be embarking on our Project Work.

As our Project is based on the modernization of cures for blood diseases, we hope to raise awareness and funds for public cord blood banking.

We understand the significance of cord blood stem cells in curing blood diseases. However, not many others do. Through this project, we hope to raise awareness among the public and pregnant women about the uses of cord blood: encourage mothers to donate their babies’ cord blood to public banks (SCBB) and increase the extent of positive impact that cord blood has brought to the curing of blood diseases. We also hope to give support to public cord blood banks by raising funds from the public.

YOUR HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

happy.gif
 
by the way just wondering if you guys knw tat straits cafe and straits kitchen are two different places. one is located in hyatt, the other is in hotel rendezvous.:p
 
Hi all!

Hee seems like much lesser posts over the weekend! Anyway seems like I am not the only getting who hasnt gotten the major stuff..:p Alibaba, so you would be getting them nearing in Oct?
Anyway me had a talk with hubby and we concluded certain things should wait to ensure optimum usage and to stagger our purchases. So we would not be getting a stroller before delivery since we have noted that newborn bb don't usu use! Most parents use the slings rite to carry the newborn out? I felt that is more useful. Hee and we don't forsee we would bring bb out to far places at least for the 1st 1-2 mths. But for diapers, clothes, we probably would get enough to last us for the 1st 2 weeks when bb is born.

Cot still hoping, my sis in law can pass to us.

Just visited a friend's bb's '1 mth old' party yesterday. He is so cute! My friend was sharing she did breastfeeding and had to do it every 2 hrs. Gosh, so shiong. She is using Medela Mini Pump and has no problems with it.

Oh I finally felt kicks on Fri nite! So happy haa...and my hubby could feel it.
