Hi ohyeah,
You weight yourself about same time? Using same weighing scale? Ate salty food? Water retention may contribute to the weight diff too.
Typically we are heavier at night then in the morning (if i didn't remember wrong). Think it's because of the moon's gravitational pull. And diff weighing scale may give diff reading.
Prob should monitor for a few days more, if really uneasy about t, then go check with your gynae
My weight also fluctuates by about 500g to a kg each time i measure. I attribute that to water reention +)

Hi Yan and Princess, am not sure if you have heard about this website that helps you to look for nanny. My friend engaged their services and she gave very good positive feedback so thus recommended this guy called Adrain who is like an agent to me.

Mashy: did you find out why it leak? Cause some mothers don't find it leaky but some do. strange though....
PPrincess: you mean those sold in S'pore are now BPA free? I had a friend that told me those sold in S'pore are not BPA free and have to get from US. So, I was just wondering if here have BPA free then I will just get it here..but now Mashy said they are leaky....hmmm....
BTW, anybody went to BabyMeadows at Katong Mall? Is it worth going?

couldn't find out why coz even new bottles with new teats leak. No matter how i screw it, pop the teats out, also no use. And after a while, the milk accumulate in the tiny crevices of the teats and i have to use toothpick to get them out. Sometimes also no use.
Have a friend who happily told me hers didn't leak and the next day, her bottles started to leak. Hahaha. Even new bottles she bought also same thing and now she has changed to a different brand.

babymeadows got 15% off strollers. they have cots, feeding stuff, baby clothes. went there twice. nice to look at, but not worth going all the way there cos stuff quite normal price, i.e. got discounts but not much. almost bought baby cots there. but lucky waited till taka fair, cheaper at fair

Mashy: Oh dear...i've got 2 new Avent bottles which a friend gave that's why i'm considering to get 2 more but BPA free....this is tricky...hmmm...
Those bags for fish bones, I think you can get it from Daiso. Alternatively, you could get those that bags for coconut juice, I think it works the same way.
Bestberries: thanks. I was just reading this month's motherhood mag and saw their ad, that's why i'm wondering if its worth a trip down cause its rather far from where i'm staying.

Yan, pprincess,
Have u ladies considered infant care?
I am deciding bet infant care and nanny. Actually i am more in favour of infant care as at least there are more than 1 caregiver at any one time to sortof keep an eye on each other. What if my appointed nanny turns out to be a baby-shaking psycho?? Sorry, heard too many baby abuse stories!

I was also an advocate of infant care until my own experiences changed it all.
I've bad experience with infant care. Not that the caregivers weren't good. But the amt of virus that goes round is terrible. My boy was sick throughout his 8mths stay there, being classified as asthmatic coz of that, and smaller size than all his peers. Regretted sending him there. So bo bian, i quit my job and stayed at home with him. So much better now.... Will never consider sending my #2 to infant care at all.

I did consider infant care but hubby not favourable to it.. hmm.. coz he feels tat being in an open environment with so many other babies, toddles and kids very easy to get sick.. Also i was planning on getting someone who can look after overnight services for me at least for the first 6 months so infant care is out and they r very strict about pick up timings..
Princess
I update you once the guy call me back coz he was busy when i called him.. If 25% is just a one off fee i really dont mind if he can get me a good nanny at a location thats convenient for me too..

agreed wif wad yan and mashy said. moreover, they dun give 1 to 1 attention, thou dey haf cert. dey onli can gif abt 1 to 3 attention, which is rather bad. wad if at least 2 of them requires attention at the same time? or if 1 or 2 requrie more attention? they will neglect the rest.
pls the cost of infant care realli put me off. im single and only earning abit over $1k after cpf, hence not possible for me to use my 1 month's pay to pay for the infant care. at least $500 to nanny, i still have balance $500 for my own meals + transport and some to buy diapers necessarity etc.

infant care is good for those with strong kids and and yell for attn type. I remember that time there was a little gal who was practically crying all the time and the caregivers have to carry her all the time. That one really worth the money. My boy very guai as a baby and didn't make much noise.

it's still early. Usually girls take a longer time to detect. Wait till final figures are out then maybe it'll be abt the same.

Mashy: you can try those shops that sells crockery...most older estates would have those shops.
If not get a muselin cloth and put the fish bones in there then tie it up and throw it into the pot. But I think the bag is easier.
Wow, we have 73 MTB and the ratio of boys vs girls are quite close. At one glance, i thought I saw more boys but its just 5 more only

RE: Infant care
I would choose infant care over nanny if I don't have a choice. However, there are some criterias that I would look for. Eg no air-cons, cleanliness, hygiene practices, etc
Children bond to get sick when they are in a group but that's how they build their immunity, too.
With an infant carer, they are trained to care and play with the baby unlike the nanny unless you can get one that is trained in infant care.

Thanks so much.. i was hopin for a boy actually so after tis can close shop...kakakakakaka.. At least i can answer to my dh family already..
I did want infant care but dh strongly against that idea so end up no choice find a nanny is the only option left.. Also infant care timings really to fixed already, for workin exec very hard to accomodate sometimes esp with the overtime work and sometimes traffic jams at peak periods.. so must really work out the options well..

Hi Lamagier, I tend to agree with koko, cos I think infant care nowadays are pretty professional, and babies do build their immunity as they grow.. So dun worry too much ok!
