I manage to find bumbo seat in a couple of places. I think i will buy bebepod instead of bumbo. Bumbo surface is not as smooth as bebepod.

fabbie,
ya get 2nd hand .. my Bumbo which I bought for my 3rd girl awhile back was 2nd hand. Turn out my girl hated it and could wriggle out of it !! I used it for a month or so .. then put it away. Now will take out for Calista to sit soon .. hope she don't figure a way to wriggle out of it like my 3rd girl.

few things to tell you all:
Pumping at work: went back to work then i find this very difficult.. i had to hunt for the place b4 i pump then when i pump i must chop chop... then keep worried that someone will knock or come in!! eh.. i locked the pantry but unfortunately, the lock not fantastic then my boss opened the door!!!! so for the weekend, i noticed my supply dropped alot.. from 3hrs 160-180ml to 5hrs 160ml... i'm weaning hayden off BM le.. giving him FM feeds in between so in case i dry up, he will already br used to FM....
Bumbo: i bought 1 abt 2 wks ago with tray.. hayden can sit well in it since 2mths 2wks... din buy from WTS coz all got stains one... might pass Hayden's school the bumbo so he can sit in school instead of staring at the ceiling all day! =)
Shopping: Jowin ah... i allergic to town le.. i think i will give it a pass.. haha.. if you girls find good buys then must tell me lor! haha.. last time i've been in town is when i went out with Carmen, Lavendery n Juz.. keke.. and last time i was in TAKA was 22Dec 2007!! hahahahahaha...
Juice: ask you all huh.. can give babies juice not huh? in hayden's school, there is a baby that is 4mths that is drinking Gerber Apple Juice wor... hahahaha.. but the packaging say from 6mths.. there are some that are for 2mths, 4mths too.. can give? i thinking of giving coz its vitamin C intake.. boost immunity for school..

I am also Dec-08 mummy. Anyone using Medela PIS advanced? I am thinking of purchasing Softshield and tubing from www.mybreastpump.com. Anyone want to buy anything from the website too? As there are a number of spam from internet, I don't mind paying the items first once reach singapore we can meet up (West side)and collect the item. Let me know if anyone is keen.
Hi phyl! long time no see! How are u and Baby doing? Ur baby can accept FM? i think my baby hates FM, whenever feed her FM she cry like hell. Haiz no choice gotta pump when back at wrk.
BTW ladies check with u all: will u all opt for full 4 months maternity leave? My boss called me and say
office is very quiet due to recession and ask me to take full 4mth maternity leave to clear at one go. Any advice?
Jess power lei u.. can make pancake with FM? Hows the taste?
Emeraldbride; that is smart way! I will do the same for the next tin. I think no choice, i have to discard the current tin since keep opening and closing for a few times.

hey.. i saw this article
THE PRICE OF CHILDREN
This is just too good not to pass on to all. Something
absolutely positive for a change. I have repeatedly seen the
breakdown of the cost of raising a child, but this is the first time I have
seen the rewards listed this way. It's nice.
The government recently calculated the cost of raising
a child from birth to 18 and came up with $160,140.00 for a middle
income family.Talk about price shock! That doesn't even touch
college tuition.
But $160,140.00 isn't so bad if you break it down.
It translates into:
* $8,896.66 a year,
* $741.38 a month, or
* $171.08 a week.
* That's a mere $24.24 a day!
* Just over a dollar an hour.
Still, you might think the best financial advice is
don't have children if you want to be 'rich.' Actually, it is just
the opposite.
What do you get for your $160,140.00?
* Naming rights. First, middle, and last!
* Glimpses of God every day.
* Giggles under the covers every night.
* More love than your heart can hold.
* Butterfly kisses and Velcro hugs.
* Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds, and warm cookies.
* A hand to hold, usually covered with jelly or chocolate.
* A partner for blowing bubbles and flying kites.
* Someone to laugh yourself silly with, no matter what the boss said
or how your stocks performed that day.
For $160,140.00, you never have to grow up. You get to:
* finger-paint,
* carve pumpkins,
* play hide-and-seek,
* catch lightning bugs, and
* never stop believing in Santa Claus.
You have an excuse to:
* keep reading the Adventures of Piglet and Pooh,
* watch Saturday morning cartoons,
* go to Disney movies, and
* wish on stars.
* You get to frame rainbows, hearts, and flowers under refrigerator
magnets and collect! spray painted noodle wreaths for Christmas, hand
prints set in clay for Mother's Day, and cards with backward letters
for Father's Day.
For a mere $24.24 a day, there is no greater bang for your buck. You
get to be a hero just for:
* retrieving a Frisbee off the garage roof,
* takin g the training wheels off a bike,
* removing a splinter,
* filling a wading pool,
* coaxing a wad of gum out of bangs, and coaching a baseball team
that never wins but always gets treated to ice cream regardless.
You get a front row seat in history to witness the:
* first step,
* first word,
* first bra,
* first date, and
* first time behind the wheel.
You get to be immortal. You get another branch added to your family
tree, and if you're lucky, a long list of limbs in your obituary
called grandchildren and great grandchildren. You get an
education in psychology, nursing, criminal justice, communications,
and human sexuality that no college can match.
In the eyes of a child, you rank right up there under God. You have
all the power to heal a boo-boo, scare away the monsters
under the bed, patch a broken heart, police a slumber party, ground
them forever, and love them without limits, so one day they will, like
you, love without counting the cost. That is quite a deal for the
price!!!!!!!
Love & enjoy your children & grandchildren & great-grandchildren !!!!!!!
It's the best investment you'll make!
So true!

Merydith - Whoa, ur bb will grab it. Actually when my gal was just 1 week old, i put the bean bag over her hands cos i tot maybe she's not strong enuf to push it. But i was wrong. My mum told me she saw the bean bag ended up on her face covering her nose!! From then i never place the bean bag over her hands.
Chantelle - Dun mention.
Cindy - I think 20 cents per pc (mamypoko) is considered cheap. The chinese herbal shop (Ren Tai Tang) at my mum's pl at Pasir Ris is selling at $14.90 for S size (52 pcs) & M size (abt 40+ pcs).
