Kath
I'm interested in Enfa. how many tins enfa u haf? If got 2 then can give me n pas.. if got 1, u give Pas 1st. I ask fr my PD.. she say no stk..
sad.gif


I recently switched from similac to enfapro. Found tat Summer love enfa.. Compared to the transition period w 50% similac n 50% enfa, she drinks much more milk now. Then she could down max of 3-4oz milk each time.. now she can easily down 5-6oz.. so happy. finally can stop changing milk powder.

Jowin
Ash using NUK rite? wat size teat hole she using?
Med seems too slow, n large hole make Summer choke. she doesn't like. I got the hole puncher, n punch another small hole in the med size teats.. shld be ok rite???
 


Ok, the lady from Abbott called and she also feels that possibly Bryan cannot digest the new formula with the pro & pre biotics which could also be the culprit that causes his diahorrea. Her advise is not to give him any formula with pre & pro biotics at the moment and stick to the old formula till he is about 18mths old then slowly intro Gain IQ.

Wah lau, like tat i must go and hunt for the old similac and keep stock liao.
 
Luthadel,

now NTUC have promo for the old similac buy 2 tins 900g and free 1 tin 400g gain iq. U can check it out.

Maybe Bryan stomach is not ready for the pro & pre biotics yet..
 
Jappooh
Thanks will go and check that out tomorrow night. If not will order online directly from Abbott since they provide free delivery if order hits $200.
 
xue, i onie got 1 can of enfa.. sorry!

ivy, joanne81 ask for the similac first, so give her instead..sorry!

Jess, u going to the Positive Baby trial tis weekend?? If yes, i'll pass to u.. the same for other mommies who is going.I'll juz bring everything along..haha

jowin

adel
my boi has been drinking 6 tins of d new advanced fm from similiac le. no issues so far. its much beta dan d old one. =)
 
kath,

my elder 2 girls drink Mamil Gold Step 4 ... I tried Similac and Gain for BOTH of them when they were younger but they had constipation .. so my friend recommended Mamil Gold. Actually not too bad, and cheaper too !! ..
 
jowin, iemik0

for these kind of decorations/party supplies .. easily can hit a decent amt .. just buy on your own no need spree lar ... I usually do it that way for all my girls' parties ..I love buying from Birthday Direct.com so nice their stuff.
 
hi jappooh
the cc rate just fluctuate la.. so far no 1.5 yet..
around 1.42 -1.45.

Maureen
Ya.. 1 feed only lor. so i totally feed with the new similac liao

pas, ya.. most likely will ship to my friend house in US then ask her to send to me.

xuelyn
Ashlynne still taking medium size NUK teats. I change to the large teat, she choke also.. i pour water into it.. the flow is so fast... no wonder she choke lor... Good idea to punch a small hole to it.. The medium size seem too slow. i also find her suck abit harder now.. more effort to drink.. but then slow enough to make her drink n zzzz... hahahaha!!!
 
Kristalngel,shld have chech wit u.the prices is really much cheaper n true tat amt can get really high.

Bad experience at party joy.lady recomended n I said ok w/o confirmin the total fig.when made payment I got totally shocked cos I've clocked 500 plus w/o realisin.wanted to redo selection,the lady was nt happy. Managed to take away some stuff but she said no point doing, though was stil 400plus. N said can't help wit set up though she promised earlier. Totally pissed n wanna cancelled then only said ok wit set up.bad bad experience

pastillies
Bryan loves his yoghurt and he has taken both yoplait and heinz. So far no such problem thats why we are puzzled why he reacted so strongly to this. Now I'll have full tin of the new formula sitting on my counter liao 'cos I just opened the new tin on Monday. *sigh*.....
 
Hi pas

xiaohwa,
ANG POW for her savings a/c... :p I am a practical mum... $ is best... even if i have party, i will most prob ask pple to give me things from the mint-factory... i.e. cash lar...
 
Adel,
Joshua had diarrhea and fever after new FM too. But now he ok after seeing PD with anti-diarrhea medicine and diluting of milk.

He's taking the new FM well now.
 
Snowger, I'm thinking of buying a small gold bar lei....cos like v special n can keep ma. But hor, think now gold super x, cannot afford le
sad.gif
 
Luthadel,
Did you ask the lady if it will be btr to intro pro-biotics (in milk) to Bryan when he's young? Build up his capacity for pro-biotics since u'll be letting him take GAIN? i.e. mix the old n new formula for him?

Esp u have one tin at home... might as well trial n error...
 
Jappooh/Snowger - I also joining both of u leh.. also not organising birthday party.. just celebrate with relatives and maybe invite some of my friends also.. Hv asked my sis to bake cupcakes and a small cake (for cutting).. oh I even forgot abt birthday gift for my gal.. :p

Jowin - I read abt this angbao guideline on the sunday times leh.. then the following monday i read the forum on straits times replying on this guidelines.. some people really jialat.. even commented that couples shld not expect guest to help cover the cost of the dinner if they cannot afford to hold their wedding dinner at posh hotels. There's 1 person commented that the amount of angbao he will give depends on how close he is with the couple. He can even give $20 angbao even if the dinner is held at posh hotels. Whoa, i feel like bashing this kind of person leh..
 
xiaohwa,
I think buying gold at this time is not worth it unless gold prices in future is like $60... So I rather just give her in cash (thou it's likely to be equally worthless in future due to inflation).
happy.gif
At least I dun have to worry abt where to keep it (safely)...

Back in my pri/sec sch days, gold was about 23-25 dollars, so gold is still affordable... Now I think it's just WAY over priced... But bo bian, oil price go up, gold oso go up. But when oil price drop, gold nvr drop leh...
 
kath,
me not joining positive baby this Sat, will probaby go ur place & collect ya...

actually i started daniell on mamil gold but after tat i switched him to nan ha2 after getting sample from my PD, but after tat realized tat nan ha milk powder so EX then i'm thiking to switch back to mamil gold lor after finishing the current tin of nan ha... but since u hav one tin to giv away so i;'ll let daniell continue drinking nan until all finish then only switch...

1st Birthday Party
wow i see u all so into it i start to kancheong liao coz din get or shop for anything yet!!! anyway i plan to buy locally liao coz easier laa since the item i wan actually not much saving if get from spree ler...

btw, can i ask if i can buy helium balloon from BP then bring to flowerist shop to ask them refill helium gas for me? coz i see if i get balloon with helium gas the price damn ex, but if i bring my own balloon to ask for fill up, anyone got idea how much it would cost???
 
stella,

ya ... if u buy yourself online, u know how much you're spending. I usually buy all the decor myself .. then use a caterer, bouncy castle, magician .. etc .. so far my highest spent for a birthday party all in was 1.4k .. for about 40 ppl.

jappooh,
ya both my 2nd and 3rd girls still drink formula. Mamil Step 4. sure, thanks!! send to me .. i PM u my address, thank you !! ..

aiya, i think I'm not doing anything for Calista's first birthday .. she won't know what's going on. waste 1k plus .. lol. wait till she's older. snowger,I think i'm just ordering a cake too and celebrate at home.

xiaohwa,
I was thinking of buying her a gold anklet for her birthday. actually I have like 3 .. but they belong to my other girls .. so that's why I thought get her one.
 
ya .. i think they carrot me
sad.gif
..cos my budget was only SGD150 .. i didnt know it will cos so much !! cos she ask me to buy this and tat ...and happily selecting cos it was like $4-$15 each ...didnt know it add up to SGD500 ... !

She also kept asking me to at least commit to 160 balloons, even when I told her that my place is small .. and no need to get so many balloons ..

She was super nice intially .. pushing me to take this and that ..and when i got a shocked and wanna redo- selection, she blacked face ..and said hurry, cos i'm holding the cashier for u .. I 'bo chap" .... then i said wanna cut this and that and cut to 60 balloons ..she said no point doing loh .. it wont be nice ..I'm damn angry and wanna back out already .. then i re-confirmed abt them doing the decor for me .. she said not sure when she promised me that they will do it .. I spent under duress leh .. ! i "xin tong" cos i find it really exp .. but pressured to buy when she kept saying I'm holding up the cashier ..
sad.gif
 
Jess,

yes I've done that before ... $1 a balloon for the normal average sized latex ones. I bought the balloons from birthday direct.com ... and also the BIG metallic ones ... huge ones. cost me $8 for hte helium.
 
stella,

wa lau. that's bad leh. who on this earth needs 160 balloons ?!! to decorate 60 more than enough loh !!

that's such a horrible experience. now I know never to go to that store.
 
I used those party stores that used to be at the Concourse. But be careful - after u inflate the balloons .. very hard to transport back leh unless u have a van. I only had like 20 balloons .. and it was tough getting it into my previous vehicle. lol !!! My hubby couldn't see out any of the windows to check his blind spot etc. hahahahah !
 
snowger,

me too thinking give cash to my boy acct.

Sam,
yes pls PM me your address so i can post out to u when i on my way hm tonite.
 
i ordered a few helium filled foil balloons from babyterror, 1 for $5+. easier, dun need to go and inflate the balloons myself. will collect from her 1 day before the celebration.
 
Jappooh,
Would u like me to post out the colostrum to u? If yes,email me ok?

Jowin, i didnt think i might get the helium tank as my celebration only at home. But i still want to deco up the place despite small party at home only.
 
sam,
wow tat's ex esp i intend to get big metalic one... siao, $8 for gas... hahaha!

iris,
ur $5 for 1 is normal latex balloon? $5 is the price for balloon filled with helium gas?

aiyo, all these balloons so ex, think i might end up not getting any balloon for b'day party, very hard to get myself pay so much juz for balloon... lol! last time my elder boy's 1st bday i also never get all these things one, not even a customized bday cake... his b'day cake juz a normal mango cake from bakerzin... tat's all... hehee!

Cos my girl wanted a High School Musical themed party so I bought the stuff off Birthday Direct.com ... I also bought 2 HUGE 18inch mylar balloons .. the metallic ones .. that cost $8 to inflate.

Haha, I'm too lazy to wait and inflat and deco the balloon stuff so I just get Kidzparty to do everything for me. Total spent less than $200 for my boy's upcoming bday :p
 
rachel,

happy.gif

LuthAdel,

happy.gif
then u don't have to do anything. I remember we were rushing to the Concourse to inflate the ballloons .. stuffing them into our vehicle then rushing to The Patissier to get the cake .. damn siong man having a party. lol !!! then come home still have to wait till the function room is mine then can decorate. wa lau.
 

hello all mummies! How's all your little ones doing? I have not posted for very long! Time really flies, from the time of our pregnancy, labour, the month long confinement and now our darlings are turning One!!

I am one mummy here who is doing nothing for my Baby's first bday. Parties are definitely fun but guess i will not be hosting one. I have decided to pack my whole family to the zoo on Cayenne's bday and we will have a mini lunch gathering there.
