fat bobo, my CL also use hennesey. When I had my miscarriage, I drank up 5 big bottles of hennesey and XO (boil chicken and gou li ginseng alternate days.) During my confinement, I only drank 2 big bottles hennesey with normal herbs. DOM is for bedtime drink, no cooking it. My MIL said still have many bottles in the cabinet enough for 2 more babies. *Fainted*.

Wah u all discussing confinement food n soups. I didn't take a single drop of Dom coz breastfeeding. Dared not take in case pass thru to baby. Then also very stressed n depressed coz not enough milk. Mil's house was like a furnace! Where got mood to drink?
Besides I think I may be allergic to alcohol. I got rashes after taking mee sua with a lot of the glutinous rice wine

I brought 1 pack of diapers for my recent trip to jap, think abt 18 or 20pcs. Pull-ups is better in case u can't find nursing room ... just tear, wipe, and pull up a new pc! There was once Ovann pooped while we were shopping at this area where they have alot of kitchen wholesale shops ... no toilets, no nursing room! Luckily there was a park nearby and we change him with my mum holding him and me frantically wiping his butt.

I'm not super lah. But we went to malacca with the in laws. So mil will kill me if I dun cook for Sam. Bo Bianca u know? Sil Aldo used my rice cooker to cook for her gals. They very kua zhang lah. Went Australia also cooked every single day n didn't try much local food. N the gals were 6 n 4 already!

jul, enfapro is easy to dissolve leh. One thing I notice is that dont use too hot water to make the milk, it cant dissolve well. I let the boiled water rest for 15mins then make the milk, sometimes I just lightly shake the bottle in circular motion no need to stir and it dissolves very well. So far enfalac and enfapro all dissolve well.
BTW, jul you MIL is not easy to please leh.

My theory is that mil is a SAHM for all her life. So she's used to doing things as she wants. Then she's not exactly very modern in her thinking n education, so I face a lot of problems in these things lor.
U know, in the am we go over to Mil's. Hubs will eat the fresh bread while I eat the leftovers coz he's the man going out to work mah. Ironically my mouth is more 尖 yet hubs who doesn't care will be forced to eat the fresh bread. Super sian lor
Then when we forget to bring something of sam's over, it's always my fault coz it's the woman's job to do the 'house things'. She's not really targeting mr. She truly believes women n men are different.
She'll scold the nieces for not bringing their soiled clothes out of the bathroom coz they need to inculcate good habits coz they need to get married!
Anyway this unhappiness is the big reason why I wanna go back to work asap

Mashy,
Hahha .. same, i wld also ding zui. Mil always said her precious son had never even washed a cup b4 he got married, and now he has to wash his own dishes after his meal. I told her if u want u can wash it for him. So bo liao ... cos we dun eat together mah, normally i'll eat first while he look after Ovann. She expect me to leave everything and wash his dishes after he finished his meal. Crazy.
Jul, u are too nice already!

Yup the normal mamy poko pants are good. Value pants are ok for the price. But dun use them for going out or long hours.

donkeymami,
No leh, i din buy it there ... i brought it along from s'pore since it's a smaller pack, only abt 18 or 20pcs. I've always used pampers, never failed me
Ovann normally use abt 4pcs a day but when we were at japan, sometimes i either forgot to change, esp when we were seriously shopping, or cldn't find any toilets/nursing room to change, so end up he used only 3 pcs a day .. lucky he never fuss
Furthermore, i din see any stores selling diapers in jap, maybe only those bigger department store has, like taka or parco?
Actually u can buy the big pack & bring along mah. Repack it into a big tote bag or sports bag and hand carry. That's wat i did. It's quite light anyway and when the diapers are used up, the bag can be used to keep your shopping loots too.

donkeymami,
i calculated i need abt 4-5pieces a day. so means i need abt 35pcs. i was thinking i may as well bring the entire pack there since 1 pack is abt 44 pcs. haha! most likely i bringin pull-up also. easier. i've started using pull-up on ethan recently. tried both mamy poko & drypantz. when he was slightly slimmer, mamy poko leaks. now it fits him & can hold his pee well. bought drypantz for him to try. also equally good. but drypantz hv pictures front & back. nicer. haha! now ntuc hv promo.

Jul,
I sure make noise if I were you. I'm definitely not those submissive daughter-in-law. my worst period was the confinement period. my mil bought all those herbs for soup which were yucky, bought 90 eggs expecting me to finish them, and some herbs for me to clean myself telling me never to bathe, cannot drink water & only eat food cooked wif sesame oil. i din finish the herbs, sold away all the chinese bath herbs, bathed & washed my hair, fed my dog wif the eggs and stop doing confinement after 1 week. haha!

Aiyah i dinno u were going to japan else i thick skin ask u to help me buy this shiseido thing which can't be found in spore! Haha

I also bathed with the herbs one time then gave up! So gross n sticky! Might as well not bathe. But i stayed st mil's during confindment so i ate whatever sge cooked. Actually sge din use much herbs. Just ginger n styff whuch is ok for me.
BABYS
Probably sil got influnced bt mil in the beginning. She's also a SAHM. But the amusing thing now is that sil influences mil back!
I wanted to give sam eggs. She kept saying it's hard to dugest. Thrn when sil found out n started expounding on the benefits of eggs, she's ok to give! I wanted to give him soft rice cooked in soup but sge keot saying he can't digest. Then one day sge said we shd start guving him that! Faint
Recently more irritating! After the HFMD episode, sam seems to be less steady on his feet. Dunno what mil said to sil n vice versa, tgat day sge wanted to add salt n soy sauce to his porridge! She also fed him salty rice crackers coz now she says he shd eat EVERYTHING or else no 营养！ faint

Speaking of naps, how many naps are your bb taking now? I can see that Ovann is slowly going to take only 1 nap a day .. his nap time is starting to drag later & later. I'd be very sad when that happens cos i won't be able to have my nap too! Hahaha

Really peifu u that u can stand your MIL. Don't think I can stand it lor....

Better to bring enough diaper or even more. Cos is not easy to find diaper in Japan. They don't sell it in supermarket. I went 10 days only see 1 pharmacy selling only.
Mamy poko value pants is quite gd. Think NTUC having promotion at $10.90.
Pegsfur
My gal is still taking 2 times nap. Each time between 1.5 to 2 hrs.
