Janie Goh, CL only wash yours and bb's clothing and cook for you, clean your bb,take care of your bb. Some kind CL will clean and mop the house for you, and that's all. If you need CL to wash your dh and fil clothing and cook for them, think you have to top up and talk to her before you engage her.
shizuka, welcome!

My CL charge me S$1900.
What I heard from the mommy who recommended her to me is that this CL did everything except marketing (like buying food ingredients)! Wash clothes for whole family, bedsheet, keep the whole house very clean, cook for whole family, take care of baby very well. When the mommy's PIL came over to stay, CL also auto wash bedsheet and PIL's clothes!!
I already told my hubby way in advance that my CL will not help him wash his clothes or clean the floor everyday cos of his cats. CL need to take care of baby and I need to rest. He will have to vacuumn the whole house everyday (cos of cats fur).
Then my hubby is very bad, he go and tell his mom he will NOT vacuumn the whole house everyday (his mom was the one who asked him to do that). He told me that PIL will definately give in to us for their grandson's sake. In the end, my PIL really is willing to do that themselves.
Last weekend, I was like QUEEN there... Feels so weird. My hubby asked me to help him do something, then my MIL is like "do it urself!". I wanted to wash plates after lunch, then MIL was like dont let me wash.
My hubby is more evil than me lor... hopefully our son will not turn out like him next time.

Yes some of the birdnest has been processed by chemical.
Make sure when buy birdnest don buy those whiter type or mould very beautiful ones...
Buy those the shape odd odd and buy in strip type.
Birdnest got 2 type pattern
One is nest type - this one is not so good
One is strip type - this one is better one
Colour
Buy those dull colour which is more natural and not those white type
Shape
Buy those shape not so beautiful one.. as got some shape is very nice one is mould type.
But I still stick to one week eat once or twice. Maybe once.
Cos one week got to eat tonic also.. but tonic after 7mths cannot drink too much liao le.. cos too pu liao le.

btw, the monobo.com dun seems to work.. would like to get a pair.. i should be wearing size 8.. any advise where to try and collect? where can i look at the design and catalog?
doppiepollie, it should be www.monologo.com, look under pretty. You order from Tas, she will tell you where to collect, think it is $17.90 per pair.
Pris
Yeah, I expect CL to do for new mom and baby only. But I a bit worried, if CL do everything, will she have time/energy to tend to my baby? haha in the end i might be the one who ask her to not do this not do that. lol She looks like quite old also lor... Like granny type 60+.
Yesterday was so cute, CL was hugging the baby and the baby was like gonna start to cry after finishing her milk. then CL donno do what and baby stopped making the wanna cry expression. *____* 3 and a half months to go till my baby is in my arms. woohoo~
Janice
Yeah I am giving birth in Aug.
About pumps, atfirst my hubby was the one who refuse to spend on a good pump. He donno hear from where that dont need to buy pump first. But then after telling him that pumps can help to increase milk flow, he totally support me to buy Medela Freestyle which cost him S$550. haha!
I also told him, if i got no milk he need to spend $250 a month for 6 months to buy formula milk. Now, I am the one who is gonna charge him for providing breastmilk and time to breastfeed/pump!! $1500 - $550 (pump), he have to pay me $950 haha! After telling him, he sad liao, said why i charge him so much. Then I told him, you have to spend those $$ to buy formula milk initially what. I haven't even charge you for the nutrients that my BM will provide which formula milk dont have.
If got more mommy wanna buy from babymallonline.com hor, can accumulate to USD$100 to get free shipping. I can help to order and ship to my vPOSTUSA address. haha, we can share basic charge too. Best thing is I got 20% discount code for spending over USD$100 last night. Offer ends 17 April!

aiyor, I was uploading the pics halfway and the website down... I po more pics of the bibs later..
Now, my dh "ban" me from surfing net already. Cos I'm already looking into buying the 9-12 months clothes.
I'm quite satisfied with this taobao seller, so I can organise a bp if anyone is interested...
