Kome,
I believe so too. And cos my boy just started childcare which is a major transition for him so he needs the extra attention and security. I am trying to be very very patient with him.
At least your boy lets your mum tuck him in. Your mum staying with you? Mine needs me to put him to sleep! So, I will put him on my bed and lie with him until he falls asleep. I usually fall asleep with him too cos I am really tired eversince start of this second pregnancy. But I have to make sure I wake up after that to do things first before officially hitting the sack.

Kome,
Oh, i see. Saves you time this way too. I have to tapau dinner and pick my son from my mum's place after work. Very tiring. He used to sleep in his own room, but when I am preggie and not convenient to keep carrying him over to his room at night after he sleeps, he ended up co-sleeping with me. Hubby not as diligent in carrying the boy over in the middle of the night. Quite terrible... backache cos of limited sleeping space and even want to pad with pillows also no place to place those pillows!

Pups,
Thanks! Now I know the differences. I think steam sterlizer would be better? How about the electricity it is taking up? Do you know?
Pinksorbet
I think cloth nappies in the end about the same cost as pampers leh.. Coz u still need to use your strength to wash and water and electricty bills in washing those?? Esp if baby poo poo on the cloth nappies.. You'll be screaming away...

Devil,
I don't think the electricity part is significant. For the Pigeon Rapid one which I am using, the steaming process is only like 7 - 10mins each time. I think if you boil the bottle, it is going to take longer cos of the larger volume of water involved. Also, after steaming, it is an auto-off. So you just wait until the system cools down before opening it to assemble the bottle. Saves you a lot of time and effort too

Devil,
No problem
When getting a steriliser, try to get one with a tray at the bottom layer as well as a tray for the top layer. This is how the pigeon one is, and it is versatile for bottles of all sizes. Cos I know the previous Avent model which I was looking at (they may have improved it now) was actually slots to slot inverted bottles in. These slots were quite proprietary to the Avent bottle size, which means if you need to have wide-mouth bottles before you can use such systems. I use a mix of Avent bottles and normal bottles (cos of my medela pump) so I have to be mindful about the type of bottles the steriliser can take
No problem

Check with you. Pigeon steam sterlizer can be used on Avent bottles and Medela parts? If can, maybe I get Piegon. Coz Avent stuffs very expensive...

mangogal,
That is not what I mean. I have not been following the newer models of Avent, so cannot comment much. But 3 years back when I was comparing between Avent and Pigeon, I preferred Pigeon straight away
pinksorbet,
Nappy liners is to prevent too much poo stain on the nappies. But once baby pee or poo, still must change entire nappy leh.

Cloth Nappies
No use... Baby's poo poo normally is watery and it will leak thru one... I was using it for a few months and I really regretted.. Everyday is washing washing washing. And for me, I dun like to just dump the nappies into the washing machine. I will wash and ensure no more stain before I put into the washing machine.
Mangogal
I think Avent is very much more expensive than Pigeon.
Vernice
U bought Avent? I was using boiling method all along.
Sterlizing of baby bottles
Mummies, do you still sterlize your #1 bottles? Must sterlize till they how old ah?

bye mummies.. gtg... enjoy your weekend..
mangogal,
As mentioned, since I already have the Pigeon one, I have not kept myself up to date with the newer models of Avent sterilisers cos I do not intend to buy new ones
Perhaps other mummies here can help.
pinksorbet,
no no... you don't throw the cloth nappies! Yes, wash. But I think Devil was talking about the effort required to wash and the water used, so savings may not be that substantial in the end.
Devil,
We diligently sterilise for the first 6 months... then I think it progressed to just once a day at the end of the day... then by the time the child is eating porridge at about 8 months, we stop sterilising. Thought no point since the bowls and cutleries are not sterilised anyway
