Cheekz, re sleeping bag, I have both grobag and dream bag. Both good, though preference for grobag, tighter and less opening for air to enter.

Re: sleeping bags
I have dreambag and mothercare one, personally i prefer the mothercare one
but dreambag is also good, and thicker
Re: VIP card for mothercare
It is good to have it hehe.. that day i bought Phil&Ted's stroller there and get immediate disc, but the sales person didnt mention the min amount to qualify for it, perhaps my stroller is much more than the amount so he didnt bother to tell me.

good morning ladies
my bb has been rather cranky lately -- especially after we bring her out.
re: bb easily startled
my bb is like that.. but she dun like to be swaddled n dislike the beanie on her chest... so far, we dun let her sleep in air-con room -- so dreambag is not a gd choice... will juz hv to make her feel secure...
re: weight gain
wow, many bb gained more 1kg after full mth! mine is petite kind -- or my milk not enough for her... think she is on growth spurt again... after 2 Bs, still cry for more and i hv to give her FM
re: schedule for EBM before going to work
sharon, thanks for sharing! so before week 10, u will be latching on whole day?
re: engorement
currently, i only express once at night after 6-8hr. My Bs r not rock hard(juz full) -- will yield abt 100ml. Last evening, I tried to express ard 5-6hr -- erhm, only yield 70ml. Wonder will my yield be much lower if the interval is 3hr?

Lily > I called them up and they said need to use DBS card for purchases for items more than $150 than can apply for the VIP card. I used UOB then asked them that I was not informed on the promo at all. I am making another trip down to Harbourfront later cos hubby will be going nearby so I can have my VIP card there w/o a refund or change.
Anyway, I thought of buying another nursing bra. Hehe. Seen their branches and I think Harbourfront/Vivocity branches are the closest to us if heading east side.

SK,
i used citibank card @ tampines mall and got the VIP card leh. they didn't say must specifically use DBS. why the discrepancy? mebbe their sales pple are confused? coz i know only dbs card can get 30% off on each item, no need to get 4 items. but for the card, the sales pple say only need to spend min $150.

rc_cola, muffintop,
thanks for the recommendations...
its quite an expensive buy so i'm wondering if its useful.
why did u use sleeping bags? i didn't get one for my #1 coz she's ANTI blanket and sweats through the night even in aircon room.
but my #2 is v different, always sneezing when the wind blows and shivering if it gets too cold. so i was thinking a sleeping bag will be good so that it doesnt get kicked off @ night....
what do u think, worth to buy in my case? the dreambag has 6-18 mths as the smallest size. shd i get this size?
muffintop,
is the grobag more ex? which size did u buy? now i have the mothercare card, can get discount, haha...

Re: sleeping bag
Personally, I find it very useful.. I have 3 of them at home haha.. bought them for my #1 - she has 6-18mths, e dream bag and e mothercare one (now my boy is using them).. and my girl is using size 18-36mths now..
Reason: it wont suffocate baby
and babies normally dun like blanket.. so it's perfect!
smallest size is 0-6mths, but dun buy the smallest, your baby will easily outgrow it..

lily,
i'm using FP 'infant to toddler' rocker. that is very good... i think cola is using that as well.. that model has only 1 colour which is blue.. i think my girl cant live without that. hwhhaha...
RE: BM
my bm has decreased quite a far bit last week.. so my mum has been making fish soup and chicken soup for me and my bm has increased again.. even much more than previous. so i need to pump whenever my breasts r full and latch in between to empty the breasts.

re: bouncer
i used the FP blue bouncer for my #1 and now my #2 likes it alot too...we often leave her there for her afternoon naps...
i hang a battery operated musical mobile from a dining chair and put her her near it...she can sit there contented for more than 30mins
shers,
long time no chat
my #1 goes to full day care, thank god! i miss her so much when she's in school but when she comes back @ 5pm, i have my hands FULL...definitely not easy to handle 1 tod and a baby all day long!
btw, what do u do with all the ebm? i'm sure u have so much stocked up by now. i am now maintaining my current supply, coz i don't want too much ebm (dunno what to do with it and no space in the freezer).
how's shermay doing?

All the best to you!
Adrienne,

RE: Bouncer
Do u gals on the "Vibration" and leave the baby there? or just leave them on the bouncer. For the netted kind, i have to constantly rock her.
#1 and #2 will share the same FP bouncer for me.
Hi Shers
Like Cheekz, my #1 is also at full day CC. Thank goodness!! I can have some peace and "Me" Time in the day tho i latch on 90% of the time.

cheekz, my grobag is 0-6 months, 0.5 tog, which is for max 27 degress. the dream bag is 6-12 months, can go down to 24 degree. got the gro bag from mothercare, around 60+ i think.
anyway, need advice on stroller. I am using one from my sister but its too heavy and i cannot handle it. the last time I went out, and took it out of the car boot, I sprain my bag. haha. so looking out now. so,
what are the strollers u are using and
what do u recommend
where should i go buy?
i am looking at capella 705 (2009 edition), but it's around 8.5 kg. good size, single touch close..

Hi Mummies, may i know what is the temperature of the room that is ideal for baby to sleep in? My baby's room is always very hot and stuffy (around 29-30 degree at best, sometimes going up to 32 degree) plus my mom is always so scare of baby feeling cold, she wraps him up in swaddle cloth and all. At times, he wakes up with sweaty heads and he is also having red patches all over his face (heat rash I think).
I just read that overheating is one of the cot death syndrome... and the article recommends keeping room temperature at 16-20 degree. However, it's a UK website, so just wanted to know what should be the ideal temperature here for SG?
