bean, why cant u pump in office? i used to pump sitting on the floor in a dusty storeroom.. then after that whenever i am outstationed, i will use nursing cover to pump just surrounded by a very flimsy cloth partition. Storage of milk - u can put in a plastic bag before putting in the fridge so that pp wont know it's EBM ma. or use a fridge to go cooler bag to store - this can keep milk cool for 12hrs.
what i'm saying is, dont let others/environment stop u from providing the best nutrition for ur bb lor.. if cannot TBF, its ok. but try to give whatever u can.
celine, i also set alarm at night to pump.. so depressing for the first 4 mths.. but at least the efforts paid off cos was able to TBF and save a lot of money... hehehe

Cos i remembered my siblings all kena slapped on tons of powder after they bathed/ changed nappies. Er ... smells very nice lah .. bb smell
My hubby persipire VERY easily, and i'm afraid bb takes after him ...
Ok, bear, at least u use powder huh ... i thot powder is more 'efficient' in preventing heat rash since it sort of helps to absorb the sweat.

Donkeymami, Dr Wong will do the swap test on week 34 to check for Strep B and infections. From week 30 onwards, it is forthnightly check-up.
Dolliepollie, mine is very tender and yummy. Maybe the heat etc, or you can tried squeeze a little lemon in. I also dun know how to explain. Coz I have done this many times eventually for dinners for friends and dh's colleagues, did not have such problem.
Pegsfur, I used bb lotion and even now Kai is using body lotion, we dun use powder. For rashes on skin due to heat, I use aloe vera gel on Kai.

napisan
I saw napisan at OCEAN from china town (cheong choon also got but donno the pricing) for $4.60. If we remembered correctly, last time we discussed this and someone said that both type is suitable for nappy stain.
pegsfur
I don't plan to use any powder on baby but personally I love to use powder and switching to those 100% talcum free powder. If you want, can look for Pureen Pure cornstarch. Cheong Choon selling the 300g for $3 a bottle. The texture kind of feels like those flour for baking.
coconut drinks
Are we not suppose to eat the coconut "meat"?

I've heard from doctors from those baby talk that talc powder is bad for baby. There are some research showing that when baby inhaled the powder, some might have respiration problem. =_= now hubby is like trying to make me not use powder but i really cannot survive without powder leh. i've been doing that since i was young! but now i only apply in toilet lor. powder makes room dusty haha.
edit: yeah, i did attend the doctor's talk last night. lol my hubby was falling asleep listening to the female gynae.
diapers
read from june thread that Nepia is having promotion if purchasing 1 box from them directly. like $14 a pack for all size. After calculation, it is like quite cheap! But is it as good as mamy poko?
Is it advisable to stock up some diapers during promotion? Like buy 1 pack of S, M & L for future use?

re: baby's powder
try not to start with the habit as it can also clog baby's skin pores, having said that..i'm a fanatic powder user - now trying hard to cut down on habit cos like what reira mentioned - the room tend to be more dusty.
another suggestion is that if you HAVE to use powder on bb, put powder on yr hands, rub together to get rid of excess powder, then rub onto bb's skin - this mtd taught by ante natal class last sat.

For the gynae, nothing interested cos most of the stuffs are covered by mrs wong already. cept maybe some new pain relief method thats not commonly use (unlike epidural, everyone knows) but a lots of new stuffs from the PD. PD talks about some skin abnormality on baby (which isn't really a problem to the baby and it is quite common). He also talks about what are the common real skin problems/ infection on baby.
babymaking
Ya lor! Now i dont even apply powder in the room but only in toilet. then just now my hubby was complaining that toilet floor got a lots of powder and blah blah blah. >.< last time was complaining about room dusty. hate it when he complains about my powder usage! zzz
moodswing: i am also having moodswing. well more of like bad temper lah. cos hubby always bo chap about everything. till now he dont even know what to buy lor. sian.
today i finally made him call starhub and dbd to change his mailing address after telling him that if he dont change, his mobile phone line gonna get cut off cos he never receive the bill and never pay. havent got the chance to talk to him about the car seat yet...

reira
know what you mean, hubby used to complain..until we got a maid i was quite enthusiastic abt getting good buys, but nowadays just can't be bothered.
pink
yeah, i wondered how those full time MTB to be cope, but sometimes i also wondered if it's because of the prolong house arrest that make me have prenatal blues. I'm trying to keep myself occupied by doing lots of stuff at home but somehow cannot combat the feelings of being 'confined' - i can;t wait for Aug to deliver and then 'freedom'
bb hicups is rhythmic and over a longer period of time like 3-5min or longer, bb kicks is more pronounced and it's usually once off.
kikilala
u have BH more than 10 times a day and yr gynae said that it's ok? my gynae put me on ventolin to relax the womb and prevent further contractions. He did mention that even painless contractions will shorten & dilate the cervix leading to premature birth.

haha, no lah, u can't feel the bb's heart beat. That's likely hiccups. It'll be thumping your tummy.

nicole: if u feel that regular beat thingy, u will realise its too slow to be baby's heartbeat or ur heartbeat....

EBM is ok to put it in fridge(not freezer), and then endure the duration home to be put in freeze ? or to let baby consume ? Would the difference in temperature introduce bateria ?
I assume during trip home, we need to put the EBM in the cooler bag ?
Im confuse over the storage of EBM....
