good afternoon ladies
juz unpack my baby shopping spree last nite
porky, baby_may & ju, nice meeting u 2! we enjoyed the congress -- lots of funny moments. So surprise that they hv "real" babies for live demo of bathing & massage! zoe shared that her abundant breast milk could be due to her diet of papaya stuff
sk, hope u like the color of the 8pcs wash cloth
bean, ur weight increase of 2kg per 4 week sounds ok... yah, my gynae was shocked when i put of 5kg after 5 weeks.... before that, no weight gain... must be due to the CNY goodies -- all the sweet stuff... will watch my intake of sweet stuff, too... these past 2 weeks, i managed to maintain 0.5kg/week

Hi Lily, there is also pigeon steriliser + food warmer...dunno how much (guess either 139.90 or 109.90) but i think the rapid steriliser + newborn kit @ 109.90 more worth it coz i find that food warmer not useful leh..
Yeah porky, the BHG sale is until 1st Mar.

Hi Porky, yeah, we can go shopping together next time.
Hi Adv_Sports, the expo bb fair starts on Friday if you really want to go.
Hi Genlyn, is the warmer necessary? What is it used for?

bean, my CL never tell me wat to prepare leh...mayb nearer to date, i will call her again..
re nappy rash cream - i used both drapolene and desitin. dropolene is good for daily, preventive use. but if you spot any sign of nappy rash, quickly use desitin. healing is very fast. get desitin creamy - it's better, a little goes a long way. get from those overseas spree thread, much cheaper than if you go to the pharmacies.

Porky,
I have been using drapolene nappy rash (can buy from watson).. and it is good for my girl's sensitive skin, would probably use it for my boy again.
Just for your info..
Re: CL and MIL
just a bit of opinion, i think if MIL keeps controlling the CL hor in the end, the CL will not be happy and MIL will keep complaining to you, and u will get headache.. haha.. heard too much of these stories from colleagues and frens..
Bean
I didnt go for any glucose test at all.. and dun think my gynae ask me to go.. just listen to what your gynae's recommendations.. i dun think everyone needs to do that. Btw, i didnt even go for any detailed scan hehe..

Bean,
I'm working in the hospital laboratory. From what I understand, if any of us got family history, or previous pregnancy got diabetes history, then gynae will order the glucose test. and also depends on our urine test strip result too. otherwise is not necessary to do the glucose test.

i never say wat my mil did is wrong...i knw she meant well for me & baby...however, like wat rc_cola say...if she control too much..the CL wont like de loh...if she can do better, then might as well she do the confinement for me..i dont have to waste money to enagage CL...then most of the time, my hb wont be at home..only me, CL, MIL and baby...my MIL cant cook confinement food de...last year i got a m/c...everyday she buy chicken rice, fried beehoon for me to eat from downstairs coffee shop...but she did boil the red dates longan drink for me...so this time, i spent some money to engage a CL..cos i wan to have a better confinement mah...my hb dont care abt all this issues de altho i told him many times...he will just let me bang the bedroom door on my mil when i am not happy...but if my baby is born..i cant do that anymore...cos my baby will get a shock...

I think you can listen to sharon's advice, then in that case it will minimize the conflict between MIL and CL.. as for what "do's" and "dont's" it's very difficult to say really.. On your hubby's stand, he is a male, and it's difficult for him to meddle in this woman business so maybe u just leave him out of this matter..
My MIL will be doing confinement for me.. well the confinement here means she will cook for me and take care of baby...
As for cooking, hm.. actually we cant demand much as they are our MIL, but i told her i want to drink red dates + longan water, she will boil for me everyday.. and for breakfast, or lunch and dinner, i will also let her know what i wanna eat.. and she will cook lor, mostly it's soup (herbal chicken, liu wei tang, hong chao tang, or zhu du dang) + 1 vege / fried egg with ginger + steamfish/pork/chicken..
Breakfast is boiled egg + normal bread or sometimes i want to eat meesua then i told her lor..
MIL will help me to bathe baby, and sleep with baby at nite.. in the day, normally i feed baby myself, either direct latch on, or ebm.. one thing is that i have to wash the bottles, pump myself
My colleague told me last time her MIL meddled a lot in CL's issue, in the end she has to send the CL back after 2 wks, MIL will say, y never ask her to do this do that..., y she like that like that.. so in the end, she thought she will depress if being stuck in the middle, and she sent the CL back for good. Not to scare you, but this was what happened when she delivered her daug. the CL is actually very good in cooking, sometimes even cooks for her western food after seeing that she got so bored with the confinement food.

rc_cola, u are fortunate that ur mil is willing to do confinement for u and willing to listen to wat u say and wat u wan to eat, she will cook for u...i envy u alot...really...my mil say she is pantang..cos she need to pray everyday, so she cant do for me...but the problem is she likes to get involve. 2yrs ago, my sil (hb's bro's wife) also engage a CL..my mil dont stay with her...but everyday she will go to my sil hse and see wat the CL doing...then conflicts arise...she told my sil tat the CL ate all the chocolates in the fridge, and also never do this do that...until my sil was so fustrated...she made my mil wait downstairs cos she refuse to open the door to give her come in...then my mil LL have to go home and complain this to us...abt ur colleague experience...i am afraid this will happen to me..
