Hipp Organic from www.loveforearth.com
Their shop is at Holland Village Shopping Center
Which reminds me, since no sleep workshop on Wed, anyone still wants to go HV or Relish on Wed??

Oh hi Tusky, there is no more central ordering of the playmat because the discount is only $5 for orders of 5 pcs to 1 central location and we figured the mat is heavy, about 7kg, better to pay the $5 for individual delivery to our house.

pinkdemoness, dont feel bad, we will all walk this path at some point in time...also good to spend more activity time w baby like playing toys w him, talking to him, showing him flashcards, reading ABC/picture books, showing him cot mobiles, singing nursery rhymes, bringing him out for morning/evening strolls for fresh air, etc etc...

Hi MamiOF2,
you might try to read the book Baby Whisperer by Tracy Hoggs. Quite useful n I'm only less than half way through.
Try the E.A.S.Y ,ethod namely, eat, activity, sleep n you. I tried for 2 days after 3 days of craziness n manage to get her to sleep at 11pm till next morning abt 9am with 1-2 feeds in between. Finally getting some sanity. You must recognise her initial signs of sleepiness n se a stryctured routine so she recognise that bedtime is reaching.
I used a dummy but once she spit it out n show no fussiness, dun put the pacifier in again.
Tuskywoolie,
how much did u pay from ordering online inclusive of shipping?
pumpkinseed,
your acct number for transfer?

tuskywoollie (ayambunny) : It's my 2nd gal which is abt 1+ when she always down with flu and cough and then lots of phelgm and have to take a few round of antibiotics till she cannot poo poo .. sigh ... so in the end recommended by no. 1 childcare principal the chinese physican which I bought her for massage advise me to change the FM and after that I see results .
Dr Brown's bottle : My SIL use this and when I want to get one for my boy who got lots of wind but realised made in China so give up and bought Bfree plus instead which is made in Israel accordingly to the staff at Kiddy place . First few years do sell Dr Brown's bottle BPA free made in US but are from polypropylene material and cannot take more than 70 degC so I bought it but did not use as my MIL will pull hot water to sterilise the bottles and so think not so safe for me to use Dr Brown's bottle .. sigh waste $$ think must put up for sale .
pinkdemoness (pinkdemoness) : Don't feel sad that u not able to give your baby BM , my 2 gals I also did not managed to BF them for more than a month but they also grow up ok . Don't forget u went thru 10mths preg and go thru labour pain to deliver them so u are a great mummy .

Koala,
I will put my baby to sleep on his side and massage his head as what starflr suggested. This link has good suggestions.
http://www.ehow.com/how_2057589_prevent-baby-from-getting-flat.html
tusky,
I also suspected that he might had a lump on his neck during his first mth. Thot there was something hard one side of the neck. Anyway, turns out to be false alarm after the PD check during his first month visit. *whew*
MamiOF2
I am also reading the Baby Whisperer and put my boy on the EASY Method. For the past few days, managed to put him to bed by 9 pm. As per what tusky said, EASY helps but not everyday the baby will be having the same pattern. I guess for mummies like us, we will just have to patiently learn the cues of our babies.

jtho, sadly it's good! Argh, one more bad habit to break. She is sleeping so soundly in it. When she stirs, all I do is press a button and she goes back to sleep. But I don't think I can use it after she learns how to sit up.
For Sophie, maybe it's best that you have a max no that you're bringing back? I know you're going back for a longer time so chances are you will accumulate more stuff

My gal also likes to sleep on her right. At her first month hair cut her hairstylist pointed out to me her right side a bit flattened. Since then I try to put her on her left or face up when she sleeps. If she instinctively turns to her right I will prop up the right side of her pillow so she can't turn. I also massage her head when I carry her.

Yep, that's what I heard too and it is possibly cheaper at at Hypermart but... can't be sure they have enough stock plus I want it packed ready to bring back to SG. Not possible to stuff so many into my luggage. Saw on Amazon.fr cheap cheap but then, no idea where who the retailer is and takes 4 weeks to deliver. As you know, French postal system is s l o w , esp with packages so didn't want to risk it.

oops sorry st, the thread moves so fast. Maybe Jtho can bring back for you? Jean, when will you be back? I'll be back by 17th. Can you ask your SIL if the other stuff like the padded belt covers, bath thermometer and chan pie gnon are avail at hypermarts? I e-mailed the shop I am getting it from but I think they are still sleeping off Sunday apero
wow....so many bulk purchases....so tempting but i'm trying very very hard to resist as I'm going to stop at 2!!! heee~~~~

re: playmate
hope you guys saw my earlier posts about playmats? Anyway, World of Korea came back with the same offer and no more. That $238 with delivery is the lowest they can go; it is in fact $20 cheaper than their previous BPs and than what's offered by Small Small WOrld which was the original authorised seller. Without delivery is $233 per piece. As mentioned, it'll be better for us to split up and order on our own esp since the diff is only $5. Someone please feel free to pick up the baton and try for a better deal if the mommies still want to combine orders. I'm just really tied up at the moment.
Thanks Starflower, pumpkin, Koala,
myh goodness our usual sunday family dinner in my IL's place turned out to be a mini soap opera yesterday. Think my MIL was in a mild depression over my FIL's irresponsible way of managing his pwn affairs, so much so that she fell ill. The thing is, she wrapped her entire self up in a blanket and ddespite her high fever, absolutely refused to see a doc. Because she was all wrapped let us even take her temperature, her son (my hubby) and daughter panicked and my hubby even teared. They tried begging her, scolding her, pressurizing her (my hubby said he would refused to go home until she gets up to go see a doc), talking to her ... none worked. Wah lao, major drama.
Meanwhile my FIL was in his usual self-denial mode insisting that it was his workshop that cocked up. Long story but this is basically the 4th accident that my FIL has gotten into over the last 12 months. So we are sure NTUC has already put him in their little black book somehow which means they will be actively looking for any reason possible to drop his policy. And indeed, that's what they have just done. My totally irresponsible FIL tried to hide the lawyers' letters by passing them on to his workshop friend to help read and follow through on the case. HIs workshop friend sat on the 1st lawyers letter. This friend however, did follow up on the 2nd lawyer's letter instantly but my silly FIL changed his hp no and didn't tell anyone ... so no one could reach him. Not the workshop nor NTUC. And just because of that NTUC dropped his case i.e. good luck to you basically. Inclusive of lawyers' fees we are looking no less than $20k plus. Worse thing is that my FIL is not even taking responsibilities for it.
Waaaaaa my hubby and his elder bro (didn't come last night) are so fuming mad. They want him to quit driving a taxi (he's in his 60s and has bad eye sight) amongst other things. Tomorrow my hubby still needs to bring him to the Meet-the-people session for the 2nd time. My hubby is really stressed up over his family issues right now, which was why he couldn't take his mom's antic yesterday and broke down. aaaaaaaaaaiiyooooooo his family is no unlike mine I tell ya. I've noticed that from the start. Everyone of us, esp my mother (ok maybe not my dad), is very fiercely independent. Their family, except for the elder bro, is very reliant on one another. Even my hubby is not the independent type.
Aiiiiiiiii sorry for my rant but I've never seen a family drama unfold before my eyes before. And seeing my MIL behave like this gave me quite a scare.
hope you guys saw my earlier posts about playmats? Anyway, World of Korea came back with the same offer and no more. That $238 with delivery is the lowest they can go; it is in fact $20 cheaper than their previous BPs and than what's offered by Small Small WOrld which was the original authorised seller. Without delivery is $233 per piece. As mentioned, it'll be better for us to split up and order on our own esp since the diff is only $5. Someone please feel free to pick up the baton and try for a better deal if the mommies still want to combine orders. I'm just really tied up at the moment.
Thanks Starflower, pumpkin, Koala,
myh goodness our usual sunday family dinner in my IL's place turned out to be a mini soap opera yesterday. Think my MIL was in a mild depression over my FIL's irresponsible way of managing his pwn affairs, so much so that she fell ill. The thing is, she wrapped her entire self up in a blanket and ddespite her high fever, absolutely refused to see a doc. Because she was all wrapped let us even take her temperature, her son (my hubby) and daughter panicked and my hubby even teared. They tried begging her, scolding her, pressurizing her (my hubby said he would refused to go home until she gets up to go see a doc), talking to her ... none worked. Wah lao, major drama.
Meanwhile my FIL was in his usual self-denial mode insisting that it was his workshop that cocked up. Long story but this is basically the 4th accident that my FIL has gotten into over the last 12 months. So we are sure NTUC has already put him in their little black book somehow which means they will be actively looking for any reason possible to drop his policy. And indeed, that's what they have just done. My totally irresponsible FIL tried to hide the lawyers' letters by passing them on to his workshop friend to help read and follow through on the case. HIs workshop friend sat on the 1st lawyers letter. This friend however, did follow up on the 2nd lawyer's letter instantly but my silly FIL changed his hp no and didn't tell anyone ... so no one could reach him. Not the workshop nor NTUC. And just because of that NTUC dropped his case i.e. good luck to you basically. Inclusive of lawyers' fees we are looking no less than $20k plus. Worse thing is that my FIL is not even taking responsibilities for it.
Waaaaaa my hubby and his elder bro (didn't come last night) are so fuming mad. They want him to quit driving a taxi (he's in his 60s and has bad eye sight) amongst other things. Tomorrow my hubby still needs to bring him to the Meet-the-people session for the 2nd time. My hubby is really stressed up over his family issues right now, which was why he couldn't take his mom's antic yesterday and broke down. aaaaaaaaaaiiyooooooo his family is no unlike mine I tell ya. I've noticed that from the start. Everyone of us, esp my mother (ok maybe not my dad), is very fiercely independent. Their family, except for the elder bro, is very reliant on one another. Even my hubby is not the independent type.

oh yes, the moral of the story?
pls, if you can, pay a bit more and go to a private motor insurer instead of NTUC. We have friends who really suffered under NTUC as well so we we know this is just their corporate policy. The motor insuranc complaints on ST Forum are also usually about NTUC.
Lousy company.

Alfafa,
I totally agree...Never hear of good comments abt NTUC insurance....tatz why I still got for AIG despite it being more expensive. At least for the accident I got into last year, I got a replacement car within 4 hrs...heee~~~
Hope the drama din scare little Grace.... =)

i tink ur FIL is the typical old man, tinkin dat if no one can contact him means no issue. in fact he is bringing himself more trouble. i tink the 20k muz b veri taxin on ur hb's family, ur fil probably din earn dat much frm his past 12mths of driving. it might b better for ur fil to stop driving since hes quite old n wid bad eye sight can b veri dangerous. u muz b traumatize seeing ur mil n hb behaving dat way, i tink u got to give ur hb moral support for this period of time.</font>

Annmelody,
cool! you know what I was really interested in the solarwave connecta as well, so much so that I showed my hubby the details. I was trying so hard to persuade myself to go for it becauyse (1) much cheaper (2) really good for singapore weather. Only BB Bjorn Air and this Connecta Solarwave imho, has material suitable for the warm outdoors here). BUT I am a terrible mama la, I simply cannot bear the thought of buying a plain coloured one. Also because this does not give me the option of HIP and FORWARD carry, so I gave up Connecta/Beco and went for pikkolo, which cost the most due to the seperately charged cushioned belt attachment.
Speaking of which, no, didn;t get to road test the cushioned attachment because I was in nice pretty dresses yesterday and didn't want to add on the bulk, esp when BB is still small so I can get away without the cushioned hip belt for now. heeee
Might try it at home later.
Re: baby whisperer
ho ho ho bougt it at kinokuniya yesterday and am already 1/3 through. Am trying out the easy method now but it realy hasn't been smooth. I know it's only the first day. My problem is my daughter is a snacker. She's used to me putting her on my breast everytime she makes noise. I know, I asked for it. So she snacks for like 10min each time rather than get a full feed, which is why she is almost glued to me during the day.
Mommies on EASY method, I'm have trouble keeping her awake on the A after E-ating. She's more like ESA - ESA - ESA and not EAS. How?? Help!!

Any mummies latching BB on sleeping position? I do that at nite, but recently, my boy keeps merlioning out alot of milk, b4 I can even burp him after his feed...sigh..feel milk is wasted, time is wasted and then he is not full. Any of u have this experience?
Pumpkin seed:
what position u using to latch BB while surfing net?
sun:
wow your BB already drinking 5 oz now, that's alot!
What's your feeding interval? Ya, LC says max 15min each side. But I find the morning session hard to do that cos overnite never pump, so I get at least 600ml that time. Now restrict to max 20mins
pups:
I was a A/B cup b4 pregnant, now C/D cup, D when full with milk. Not a nice feeling to feel so heavy actually.
st:
I wear nursing bra at home cos need to have breast pad, sometimes still leak. Also boobs feel heavy and sagging if don wear.
lipstar on breastshield: The nurse says its up to me see which size of breastshield I feel more comfortable. Think most impt is not to overpump.
Mummies, btw, what is a wet bag?
Also, someone mentioned abt warmer on the go...where can get?
