happy.gif


Thank you!
 
Mummies - what's JP ah? sorry I just read the threads and kinda lost...

Does anyone know where i can get the activities essentials - for e.g. nursery rhymes CD/books, etc from?

I am shopping for play gym for Jonas this weekend! Any good brands/model to recommend? Thank you

wah, lily, u tried so many brands of diaper!
porky, sealer also hv this prob -- the poo will leak out and stain clothes/bedsheets
sad.gif
will stick to nepia/huggies/pampers in future.

tinkles_mum, JP = jurong point
 
Thanks adv_sports. Btw I find Huggies and Pampers tighter fitting than Mamy Poko... and thicker too. So far they both gave me no prob except a bit thick so was afraid will be too hot for baby. Mamy Poko is thinner, cooler but once baby moves about, I find the diapers tend to shift and at times, that's how my baby's poo was smeared on one side.
 
Morning mummies ...

tinkles mum,
ok for me ... cos Rachel can fit better with pampers n huggies now. i stay at yishun ... n u? Maybe can meet another place also. Today u go out? If u want to try Sealer size NB I can give u some to try cos cutting quite big also. This brand frm Japan

happy.gif

Hi mummies, for those who are expressing, how long do you express each time?

Is it true that for the first 15 mins, we'll only get foremilk which is thinner and the hindmilk, which really fills up the baby, only comes in the later 15 mins?
 
Glenlyn,

With #1, we tend to do more things for them.. I did the GD mathes flash cards, but actually I flash to her until no. 20 only.. For #2, did not even take out the flash cards to show him.

Now with #3, since I got more Mat Leave, I think I better make full use of it!
 
Tinkles

I always pump for at least 15 mins.. the Bs are totally emptied when I experience 2nd let down

Re: Engorgement
I felt like a dying woman last nite when fever strike me at 40.1 degrees. Worst, my #1 was pressing against the engorged side which made me feel even more painful. Basically, i could only lie on the bed and rely on my helper to bring baby to me for latching. Couldn't even find the strength to burp her. Popped 6 panadol cold tablets in all yesterday. Luckily, fever subsided to 38+ by 11+ at nite and i could carry my gal properly and latch her. My gal insist on being latched on at nite before she will sleep. But luckily, she is not the latched to sleep type. Latch, burp, rock then sleep. Fever has finally subsided this morning.

Hi Tinklesmum
It is not the length of time that determines whether foremilk or hind milk will come out.However, the first to come out is foremilk and later hindmilk. So long as u have almost emptied your breast, the ebm will contain a mixture of foremilk and hindmilk.

Just brought my gal to market in the sling to do marketing with my helper.Luckily she did not fuss and only cried for milk when she reached home. Phew.
 
Re: Blank Flashcards required to make flashcards

You can actually purchase blank flashcards from this vendor called Hiap Moh .

Contact No: 6273 5333

The price stated was what i paid for last year.
C1S Ivory (FBB) 350 gsm

1800 pieces of A5 (350gm) = $53 + GST
900 pieces of A4 (350gm) = $53 + GST

Think they sell the "sticker dots" as well.

Free delivery with a certain amt or collect from Jurong i think.
 
rc_cola,
rachel first may baby
happy.gif
cos she born small also ... wanna see ur boy. My mum n sis here now hehehe.

tinkles mum,
today i got appointment at toa payoh n likely cant bring the diapers out now. tm will be at home i think if Rachel still got slightly fever.
 
I be starting work next monday...so sad and "sian" to return. I may be clearing another 2 weeks end July to early Aug of my maternity leave. If you mummies are planning to come JP in end July, will join you all k.

Had tried the following diaper brands.
Nepia - Very good (plus pt - urine indicator)
Goon - Very good (very cottony material like Nepia & Mamy Poko)
Mamy Poko - Very Good (my fave!)
Pampers - Good (Roomy)
Pampers Active - Good (but feel no diff from their normal range)
Drypers - Average (Dun really like the tape seal)
Huggies Ultra - Average (Got urine leaking issue, few of my friends also shared the same comment & cutting smaller than other brands)

Din try any of the home brands, sealer, fitti & pet pet. Like what lily said, fitti premium is not bad as what I read from forums. I got Pureen (blue packaging) but yet to try. Cos bought M size.

Currently using - Mamy Poko, Pampers (New Baby + Active) & Nepia

Went JB last week and bought 4 packs of Mamy Poko at "Sentosa" cos got sale. All sizes except NB only <S$14/pack. Think RM$34/pack.
 
re : diapers
so far i have tried pampers, huggies ultra, huggies dry comfort, fitti premium and pet pet...i dont like huggies dry comfort, cant last easily overflow...and pet pet the poo poo will spread out...the others pampes, huggies ultra and fitti premium i like it !

re : JP gathering
ibite, i think mid july is good...will bring jaeden along...but must take cab...sure very ex from punggol to jp...haha
 
re jp gathering - count me in! i'm only returning to work on 5 oct coz taking a mth of no pay lve.

tinklesmum - you can differentiate the foremilk and hindmilk fr the colour. foremilk is like barley water, hindmilk is white. i take at least 30mins to clear my breasts, sometimes up to 45mins coz long intervals betw pumps. i only pump 4x daily, it's 5-6hr intervals.
 
rc - what is 2nd letdown huh? how do u experience that?

feb_mum - our express schedue same - I am doing 30 mins now also, just so I can clear the breasts. I took 4-5 hrs interval also to have more milk, but that means not enough to supplement my baby's 2 hrly feeding lor... sigh
 
Ju,

I also worry for Chelsea at IFC. Her first day on 15th July. Sekali 20/7 me still stuck with her at the IFC..wahahhaa

I think the parents seem to have more seperation anxiety than the baby! haha :p

hee... Did I miss out anyone? Keep the list gng! You gals bringing babies?
 
20 jul shdn't be a prob.

tinklesmum - initially, i oso had to supplement with fm. but with regular pumping, my milk ss is now enuff for my bb. currently i hv surplus to store too. hv you tried taking motherlove more milk plus capsules? i found this better than taking fenugreek in terms of boosting milk supply. you might want to give it a try.
 
ibite,
gathering in afternoon, rite? i will b wif jodie cos fetching her before mtg u gals.

porky,
no worries. once location firmed up, we post jp map here
 
Tinkle

Let down = lots of milk spraying out.. u will feel tingling sensation when the let down comes..

first let down usually start when u start pumping... second let down (my case)happens after 10 mins of pumping or sometimes 15 mins of pumping. lots of milk will be spraying out again, and after which I can feel my breasts are emptied

re: pumping
feb_mum, when u pump @ 4-5hr interval and bb's feeding is 3hr interval, do u give FM all the time?

right now,
- latch @ 4-5am, sup FM if needed
- EBM + FM @ 8am
- FM @ 12pm, pump abt 60ml
- latch @ 4pm, sup FM if needed
- EBM + FM @ 8pm
- FM @ 12am, pump abt 80-100ml

should i shorten pump interval?
 
anyone can longbang ? i am at punggol...huiling might not be gg so no one share cab with me liao...is makan and chit chat session right ? i will be bringing stroller, diaper bag and baby jaeden...cant shopping...
 

adv_sports,
can check with you? How much are you feeding ur bb now?? do u wake her up for feed or u wait for her to ask for the feed??

I do not know wheather i should wait for my bb or wake him up..

Thanks
