Hi Mummies! Hope all is well for all of you! Just a quick clarification here. Think there is a 'grace' in this forum and my nick is graceofgod so grace and graceofgod are 2 different people
i get a bit confused when I see a post addressed to 'grace' and I wonder if the mummies is 'talking' to me
Full Month Celebration:
Just had mine on Sunday. We had loads of fun and after the function, hubby, #1, baby and I were tired out. Luckily CL still around so she could still help jaga the little one while we rested
If anyone is ordering from YLS catering, the food was so so only (but we realised the left over was nicer when we had dinner after the function. Maybe we were too busy to get hungry at the function). Warmers couldn't last the 4 hours at all. Went off after about 2 hrs and therefore the food was very cold for the last 2 hrs. So, please request for more warmers when you order. It's important.
Now, I am counting down to the end of my confinement which is 3 June and thereafter, I am going to have my glass of ice-filled coca cola! (actually, I drank a bit of the fruit punch and ate a bowl of cold dessert at the full month celebration... but without ice la...)
Nursing Poncho:
Audrey, count me in if you are getting the nursing poncho at $20. Design would be peony. Thanks
Jaundice:
Caroline, 915 and Sallen, my gal is coming to 1 month but her jaundice is still not leaving her. CL sunned her every morning and I have already cut down on my ginger intake...The whites of her eyes and face still yellowish... Today going to polyclinic for a prick again. Hopefully, the level is no longer high...
Injection:
Yuki, my boy has all his injections at the polyclinic. For babies, we get to the priority queue. Call up to make an appointment first. Tell them it's baby's vaccination. Tel is 63553000. Initially, I was quite hesitant about having the jabs at the polyclinic cos I heard horror stories about the service but to my surprise, I was very pleased with the nurses and their service throughout (from 1st jab to MMR at 15 months). Apparently, I heard that the jabs are cheaper as well. So sorry, I cant remember how much I paid for my boy's jabs but I do remember MMR was free. Ring the polyclinic to find out more
5-in-1 or 6-in-1, the nurses will give u the details at your first visit.
Nappy rash:
I find Desitin Original (purple) too strong and sticky. Cream sticks to bottom and hard to remove even with water and soup... The smell is not too pleasant as well...Like the creamy version (blue). Effective and at least a more pleasant smell. I find Drapolene milder so use it to prevent nappy rash but if bottom is red, use Desitin like the other mummies
Breastfeeding:
Hang in there! For 1st time mummies, it might look like you are not doing a good job cos milk coming in slowly but I believe that all will fall into place soon,esp after the 1st month. So persevere k?
For 2nd or 3rd time mummies, enjoy the special moments at breastfeeding sessions
Joyce, need to learn from u how u manage with more than 1 kiddo
I am already worrying about it... How to spend quality time with them... and work at the same time... (even though I still have 3 months with them)
So sorry... such a long post...
