Miaiko, Samval,
I got the shampoo from that website. It's local. Maybe if we want we can take orders and pool together, so that we get free shipping. We should perhaps wait til we're in the 3rd trimester to do this so that the products are still fresh when we want to use them.

Faz: Ya lor...basically there is nothing tat we can do except to wait for it to go away..
cjteng: i think i bought it at around $170.. dual use, both manual and electric
MTBS: how about perming? coz i remembered i read an article at my gynae clinic, rebonding better not do, but perming can leh..think maybe the solution used is different...my hair now is permed...i think make me look more fresh and not so flat lor..but must maintain la

miaiko,
The shampoo is quite good to use. Not much different from most other shampoos. The smell is quite nice and gingery. In fact I didn't finish the bottle. Still have some left. I tend to forget to use it, now pregnant, can't use it. It washes clean. I have no complaints. Will probably order another bottle for next year.

suika : Thanks for checking with ur colleague. =)
Priviledged : Thanks for the recommendation, i'll probably buy that too... maybe i still hv to wash hair secretly, but with tis, i can do so with less guilt... *wink*
piyobaby: I tried those powder form dry shampoo! Horrigible leh.... make my scalp even more itchy...
Ladies: rem to blow dry ur hair after washing ur hair okie... my MIL told me she din blow dry, & she developed headaches (sometimes migraine) - that lasted for a good few years... & 1 thing she taught me, aft washing, apply some alcohol (hard liquor) to the scalp, to prevent 'wind' fm seeping in...

gelato...im pretty sure it is cos oreadi cant imagine the aftermath of usage.....guess if we use warm water + herbs + quickly drying of hair in enclosed room w/o open windows shd be fine ba...at least dats wat I will do so long as dun ask mi dun bath + dun wash hair....
PVL, ya ya, I forgot I used that ginger shampoo too. I didn’t finish mine too, passed it to a fren who just gave birth early this yr.
Miako, frankly speaking I feel that it's not realistic for us to follow the 'no washing, no shampoo' rule.
Daddytobe, medela mini elec is very noisy. I got Ameda elec and it's quieter.
Gelato, those powder form shampoo is ineffective.
Samval, no leh, my face dun feel hot when kenna while using the ginger shampoo leh. But I felt some heat after the shampoo.

piyobaby: my first 2 confinements, i never take care. the first one i practically bathe on the next day aft delivery in hosp with cold water cos was feeling very super hot. then was hair somemore and aft that no hair dryer in hosp so sit down on my bed in air cond room wait for it to dry. then aft discharge, i go jalan jalan cos cannot tahan stay at home. and never eat confinement food. took all thsoe curry etc etc.
2nd confinement, i took care just a "little". i ate proper confinement food with lots of ginger. but only like 40% take care lah. the rest 60% i still go jalan jalan and bathe (but this time warm water) as per normal. so this time i wanna take care cos getting old liao and body here pain there pain, especially back-ache and tired feel. i'm not sure issit it due to never take care or not??

Samval,
Yes, there's a slight warm feeling on the head after washing hair.
Miaiko,
If you want to be strict, not supposed to bathe at all! But if you think about it, it's really unhygenic, esp if you're breastfeeding.... After delivery we'll be bleeding down there, and once we get home, we'll probably perspire lots. There were times when I didn't know if my bb was having sweat or milk!! Not that I didn't bathe, but it was just warm.
For my 1st child, as soon as I was wheeled into the room after delivery, I bathed! Was in labour nearly 24 hours mah.
For my 2nd child, I had bathed just before going to the hospital, and the delivery was just 4 hours later, so I didn't bathe right after delivery, and in the end waited til I came home the next day to bathe.

Babystarlet : Personally, only the manual pump (particularly Avent) works for me. I was a heavy user, hence i agree it's tiring. That's why i explored into Medela (single & double) & Ameda - unfortunately all didn't work for me - i can hooked the pump to me for a loooooooog time & still dun achieve letdown (maybe at most 10ml of milk). With Avent manual, i cld clear the breast & stock up quite a bit of milk...
Hvg said that, i m NOT saying Avent munual is the best, it juz happened to work best for me. Some of my frens achieved good letdowns with Medela Electric. Hence, it's very individual...
