hi May
My daughter (pre-nursery) is also still crying in school every morning. Doesn't even want to go to sleep cos she said she is scared that ah ma will 'catch' her in the morning to go to school. sigh... Every morning I have to hide somemore, cos am already on Maternity leave. If she sees me, she all the more will not go to school.
Hi pink sorbet
I bought my maternity underwear from kiddy palace. $4.50 for a pack. They have both cotton material and paper material. I bought both. Paper material wear at the hospital, stain already just throw. Cotton material is more comfy, can wear at home when discharge.
re: Maternity pads
Am thinking of buying the Kotex loop one to bring to hospital, in case the ones supplied by hospital is not enough, if you ask them to open a new pack, they will charge you.
For home use, I bought a pack of Kotex adhesive (very ex! about 0.60 per pc!) I also bought a pack of Sofy night use 28 cm with wings. Cheaper, with wings somemore, feel more secure.
Re: co-sleeping with an older child and baby
Anyone sleeping with an older child already? My older child is about 3 yrs old. I am not very worried about how to cope when 1 cries, both cry in the middle of the night. Any mummies here can share their experience?
Re: coconut juice
Anyone here knows when to start drinking coconut juice? I am 35 weeks + already. Is it time to start drinking?
Re: breastfeeding
Am starting to feel nervous now, cos I still remember my painful experience with engorgement (with blocked milk ducts all the way up my armpits) and sore nipples. Ouch!!
Re: stemcord
I've signed up with stemcord last dec. Anyone need referral, I can recommend my sales rep to you so that we can both save $$ =)

Kome
My room is abit small and she will turn here and there... Else kick us till we almost fall off the bed kind. Was wondering if we should keep the bed frame and all sleep on the floor first.
Jasmine

Sunshinebaby
Nvm.. I can still peep peep at the photos...
Grace
Your girl 3 years old still co-sleeping with u? Then when u give birth, how ah? They are so good at kicking. Sometimes almost kick me out of the bed.. And mine is only Queen size.
Seabreeze
My #1 stucked to me like super glue... Ask her sleep alone with her daddy.. I think in the end, she will come over to the other room instead.

sunshinebaby - yes yes the steriliser is $125 (no discount applied yet), that's why i say its best buy. i recall the last time i went tangs without sales, the item was priced at $95. now that there is the 20% + 10%, they put to original price, which is $125.
oh, i forgot to update what i bought, actually only 1 item - the fabric sleeves to put near the cot to hold milk bottles, diapers etc...its priced at $39.90, with 20% + 10%, it worked out to be $28. quite reasonable i think
oh i also checked out the nursing room, comes with steriliser, and food and bottle warmer alright...how cool...but smelly, coz i think some bb poo poo inside, the smell lingering there..haha

seabreeze, ahha your boy is really really funny and cute le!! I also weaned him off when he was 10month, cause was already 2months preggy then and hope he already forget about latching... but when he sees my nipple he will still grin and come pinch.. now he's 15moonths, so hope 5 months enough time for him to forget haha. But he still sleeps curled up like in my tummy. So cute. hubby was commenting last night, he is 15months outisde and only 9months inside, yet he still sleeps like he was inside. haha!
devil, let's hope we can persevere on. We must take inspiration from Seabreeze. haha. I also hope we can bf them to be fair... that time gyane asked me i said i will try cause #1 ard might not be easy.. he was unhappy and say YOU MUST Bf and not just TRY. TRY is not good enough. haha!
grace, me also have this plan loh. put #2 in cot and #1 still zzz with us. UNLESS he choose not to.

one of the salesperson in tangs said its pretty worth it to stock on dailies, like detergents n stuff...

I checked out the pigeon sterilizer b4 at NTUC and its priced at $125, so if Tangs got 20%+10% + 12% rebate then its really worth the buy.
Moomooland: was it crowded at Tangs y'day? Abit lazy to go down town and shop these days
Koala: if can sleep till 11+am still not too bad. For me, not matter how late I sleep, latest I wake up is abt 9+am. Guess I'm a morning person ba

mine cfm forget liao cos he is already 3yr + and it was my target to wean him off before he got his teeth hahahahaha dunno if thats why he only got 2 teeth on his 1st bday
my fren bf her #1 when she was still preg and that time her #1 was already 3yr old ... wow v drama in the hospital room lor ... the #1 cry and cry and say that she wan to latch on when she see the mummy feed #2 ... so in the end the father got to carry her out of the room ... after feeding the #2 then #1 go in and drink *faint*
thats when i told myself that anything more than 6mth is a bonus but i will not go beyond 1.5yr to 2yr old
oso another fren who bf till her son was around 4yr old ... she say that he wont ask to latch on when they are outside but he need to latch on before he zzzz ... i tot it sounded like an addiction lor cos the boy already going to school and eating solid food liao and she say that at that age ... really v tough to wean off
so to me ... got to strike a balance

mummies, if you're interested in certain products, you can actually call up Tangs, get them to transfer you to the bb section, and ask them if certain items have discounts or not..that's what i did for bb cot...
moomooland,
The pigeon sterilizer u bot is the Rapid steam (http://www.pigeon.com.sg/product.php?pr_id=46) one that can hold up to 9 std bottles?
Anyone knows if the Avent manual pump can also fit into the pigeon sterilizer huh?

teddybaby - the q was ok...there's hardly a long q at the bb section of tangs..heh
seabreeze haha my target was to wean him off by 1yr old. haha so happened i got preggy when he was 8mths... so decided to stop him earlier at 10mths cause i realised actually he doesn't need to drink milk in the middle of the night, it's just more of a used to it thing and i slowly stopped latching. Am quite glad he's okay to it too.
wahh the 1st story really cham ley!!! Gosh, i hope i don't face this man.. 5months also a long time le la.. omg.
