hopefully he'll be attached to his daddy more..
iemik0,

Hi mummies,
Are any of you doing co-sleeping, with your child in the same bed? Can I start from when my bb is newborn? I bought a cot for her, but after putting it in the room, feel that my room is quite packed. I'm thinking of just having bb sleep in the bed with me and hb. Also, I hope to bf, and heard that co-sleeping will help with night-time feeds. Anyone has any thoughts on this?

There is a new prog on Thu at 9.30pm. either Channel u or 8. They actual advice that right from the start, baby should be sleeping in their own bed & not co-sleep with parent. it will then be easier when you want to move them to their own room when they are bigger.

yes kristine..u can book and pay $200 deposit. Only after u give birth, u will need to call them up to make the appt.
The guy I spoke to told me that the massage is everyday. Upon payment of deposit, u will send him email to let him noe which masseuse u wish to engage and when is ur EDD. Then they will place a tentative date for u lor..
Echo, I agree with Winnie, not good to sleep together with baby..next time very difficult to let him/her sleep alone and they hv tendency to only wants to be near u and not other ppl..for me personally, i do not want to create such dependency..haha

how to know which size binder fits me at this stage? i don't know how big i will turn into?
sam/iemik0 - i don't have any father, brother or cousin to help. my husband doesn't want me to ask my FIL to help. if i were to ask a friend, i think i need to pay also, also now sure how much to pay.
i just got some tips for painting... i think my hb will teach me how to use a power drill. since the household don't really care abt a pregnant woman doing renovation, that means i have to do the job lor.
in fact, i have been on ladder these days coz i clear my cupboard to store baby stuff and need to put my own stuff up to top shelf at ceiling level.
jowinbaby - eh, how come kneecap also? i only heard of feet n hands.
reddates - winter melon drink counted or not? don't know where to get winter melon soup coz no slow cooker n no skill too.
girl80 - ur gynae operates on sun as well?

Winne: Yep...it's better to let bb sleep on their own. I even read this from the Gina Ford baby book & she strongly encourages it too. My friends who have given birth also advised me to do the same.
Eliz: I used Pigeon laundry detergent (orange bottle) & also poured in a little bit of dettol to disinfect the clothes since it was my 1st wash.
iemiko: How much %% do you get for the tummy binder? I feel like getting one too!

why not just close 1 eye.
is not good to paint or drill now. Wait till after birth lah. Even if nobody care, you should still take care of yourself & your little one inside.

Hi all mummies...
I went to check out the tummy binders at NUH and the lady selling it and some nurse who overheard me told me that it is better to wait till you give birth before buying.. cos u wouldn't know the size.. If u buy wrong size..might not give u the right support... My fren and I wanted to buy since we were there...
Well ladies... this is the last stretch of pregnancy... so bear with it.. Rest when u can... we being tired all the time is the body's way of telling us to slow down.. =)

i also went to buy the kodomo wipes during lunch. Now have to bring them back 1 packet by 1 packet. Too heavy to lug all back 1 shot.
Have you ladies decided where to hold bb first month party? Any place have function room which is cheap? My house too small to squeeze all the relatives and frens...

Adel, we may hold it at Peony Jade. I've heard very good reviews abt their food.. anyway, we will be going thr to try out the ala carte buffet dinner next weekend! They have full moon package as well at $398++ per table. food is quite good
Bubblepearl,
I've finally found an outlet tat have kodomo wipes, I bought 22pkts today at Bukit Batok Watson. Still left over 10+ pkts I think, no more in the store already. Think I bought alot liao, NTUC bb wipes, J & J wipes, still have some pigeon wipes and now 22pkt kodomo, can last very long liao.
Juzyounme,
Well winter melon tea is those pkt type, not so gd. Better to cook the soup urself or drink from those stalls that sell double boiled soup, they should have oso.
Binder,
Dale is pretty good, I used them for my first preg, it really support very well for my c-section wound, it's not very stiff.

wah..do we really need that many baby wipes?? The way i see u mummies buy is scary man..i bought onie 6 pack and i tink it can last till 3 mths leh..or correct me if i m wrong..how many roughly wil be use per day? Or 1 packet can last how long?
girl80...keeping the wipes in the fridge seems like a great idea! ^_^ Hee...I dun dare to buy baby wipes because I'm scared they'll dry up. And I heard different babies got different reactions to the wipes, so I'm going to try out the small packet of free pigeon wipe from the last Taka fair before buying in bulk.
Juzyounme, drilling is quite difficult...I tried before I was pregnant. Need a lot of strength and if you drill crooked, then that's it liao. One hole on the wall that you cannot use! Use super-bonding wall tapes can? Are the stuff you want to hang very heavy?
I'm also breathless a lot...got mild MS and very grouchy all the time too. My poor hubby kena a lot of funny outbursts from me.

Phyl/Ivy/Girl80/Spaghetti/Emeraldbride,
I hardly use any wipes. When we're home and i need to clean my boy's bum, i use facial cotton soaked in warm water. Practical, efficient and cost-effective. Wipes reserved only for outings cos no choice. We switched to facial cotton (watson's is the best..tried&tested) cos my boy used to scream when he was being wiped so figured that the wet/coolness bothered him. True enough, using warm water was ok.. So no need to stock up so much la.. and pls dun use directly fm fridge okie.
Dee,
My #1 will be 18mo when #2 is due. Big boy sleeps in his own room/bed since birth. Think you should try to move your boy out asap..give him time to adapt. Otherwise, when baby comes along, baby cry = big boy wake up = you bigger headache. My sis still having this headache, especially when one of the kids is sick (Her kids 2yrs apart). But lots of encouragement needed.
For my boy, we always tell him that its 'his room' and that's the only room he can enter without adults (childproofed to the max!). For the rest of the rooms..if he approaches the door, we'll remind him that he can't enter unless there's someone inside. So he more or less 'trained' with this mentality already and generally sticks to it. Kids are cleverer than we give them credit for..If you praise enough, your boy should be ok with it but got to start now.
Phyl,
I used 3 panel type binder but really hated it..Very very warm and stiff
hopefully i'll have the endurance to tahan this time around..tummy is so big.... Think waiting till deliver is a good idea cos really hard to tell what size to get now.
Ivy,
The haircut is by student is it?? Interested but 'safe' or not? Can just trim?

Hi MTBs,
Hope you dun mind me joining in. I also due in Dec, and have been reading this thread from time to time, although I didn't really participate in the discussion.
iemik0, my masseur recommended me to get the Dale binder from KKH, code 810. Would you know which one it is? I paid for the 3-panel one for the spree already. Thanks.

juz, if ur feet is swollen, try to lie down and prop up ur feet to reduce it..i saw it on TV. I do strongly advise to leave those minor reno stuff to ur hb..instead of u doing it urself. Sometimes u may not be pantang but it is better to be safe than sorry. Y take the risk of ur baby to drill n paint? be patiet..
