I have been encouraging my helper to be firm towards my girl since the 1st day. Let's pray she does improve in the next couple of mths.
We would appreciate her to be more proactive, we feel we are such naggards if we always have to remind/order her to do this, to do that.

About high chair, mine was from ikea. Good to let them use it when they start to self-feed. When we are outside and if there is a high chair, I would insist her to sit down and eat her meals. For the mat, I use those big sizes ABC Yoga mat with 8 panels of playyards, then place all her toys inside etc.

I have been using the brand: Carlson (alcohol free and anti bacterial, good for sensitive skin too). Can be purchased from John Little, 3 x 80pcs at $5.50

pinkmama,
We may get the cot from Baby Kingdom instead of BB hypermart cos after adding in the mattress, bedding set, delivery & installation cost, it is much cheaper to get from Baby Kingdom leh. The cot we saw at Baby Kindom costs abt $329 or 359 (can't remember), comes with free mattress and bedding set, as well as free delivery.
As for breast pump, i've already gotten the medela mini electric plus mths ago as there's sale going on. Wldn't want to invest in too ex pumps cos I dun think i wanna bf more than 3 or 4 mths leh.

JL always has discounts for Carlson bb wipes.
Hence I always buy a lot when there is sale of 20%.... hee hee!
Btw, I don't use ruyi (medicated oil) due to the strong smell and the heating sensation.
You may want to try this out, can get it from most Jamu shops. It is called Telon oil for babies.
The link has its pic.
http://www.javajewel.ie/lite1/cart.php?target=product&product_id=671&category_id=363
For the baby cot, can check if it comes with plastic protection to prevent teething.
Mummies keen to get latex mattress
I'm going to Kidzloft to get 50% discount. After discount, it is less than $100. You may refer to www.kidzloft.com.sg for more info.

your baby is like mine! mine was 717g at 23 weeks 4 days (already 100g heavier). So your is about 150g heavier than normal?
newmum exhibition
ended up never bought cot cos they will deliver the cot in 3 days time! i will prolly buy around july during GSS, if buy too early, the cot is gonna collect cat furs/dust! >.< So sleepy now...

piggy:
wahhh my boy at 23 weeks only 610g... sigh.. so tiny liddat but he sure can kick me hard...
mickey:
pardon me for saying this but i think u ought to give ur maid more time.. after they are from kampong kampong, she is still adapting to ur family and environment unless she has been working as a helper for many many years and very experience.
u shld be glad that she can do chores and not give further headache like not knowing how to operate ur electronical appliances or spoiling them...
some helpers need constant reminders, i believe even those who have work 1-2years also need reminders coz children grow up and their environment change and we as parents learn new techniques as they grow... so must finetune our methods from time to time...
my 2 cents worth...

Ya lor, like what my hb said. If they are smart and capable then they won't be working as maids.
Most important I know she does love my child.

As long as they dont retrench you until you are 3 months before EDD, then you will get the ML benefit. But I also understand that your worries is not about the ML $$ but about having an income even after ML. If the company is really like that, then I guess no choice but for you to look for another job. =(
Initially, we were going to see how it goes in the infant childcare, if the CC is good, then i can continue working. If it is not good, baby kept getting sick then I will quit my job.
For my case, I hope the evidence I have is enough to fight back. Because if they insist it is a retrenchment, then they shouldn't have hired me in the first place during Jan. Also, they shouldnt retrench me just RIGHT before it is my 3 months before EDD (as if they purposely don't wanna give me my ML benefits!!)

Anyone remember when did the recession started? Initially it was the Leman Brothers that collapsed right?

So early today ah ... getting ready for class later is it?
I must have got out of the wrong side of the bed today .. so many things pissed me off early in the morning.
First, the toilet flush is not working when i use it this morning at 4am. Woke hubby up to fix it .. he just go there, look look and said he'll fix it in the morning. Then i said wat if i want to use it again? And he said just use water to hose it.
So at 8+ i woke up, wash up and use the toilet again .. thot i cld try to figure out how to fix it but i couldn't. So abit fed up liao.
When i went to the living room, i opened the wooden door and stepped onto a small puddle of oil. It must be my MIL ... dunno why she's so obsessed with oiling the locks! Always drip the oil till everywhere de. So pissed cos i cld have slipped and fall if i'm not careful.
Next, wanted to cook breakfast for coalie, and found that hubby didn't wash the cooker cover last nite, and the fork he washed was not cleaned. Aiyoh .... i'm almost getting high blood pressure at this juncture le ...

it is not that they are not smart or stupid lar... it is just cultural difference... there are many helpers who are smart, some too smart for their own good n give employer headache...
at least she likes ur child and is not abusing her... i guess this is the consolation for the otherwise slow/non-proactive work currently...
pegs:
sigh... dun get work up over small stuff coz i m sure there will be more things which will get on ur nerves in time to come... anyway preggers are more sensitive and irritatable de.
cherrios:
wah so fast! 27 wks liao... i m just 24 wks 4 days... hehehe

when i ask my hubby to do things, he always say "later", end up never do. like example he went to take those broucher from coffee bean, then ask me to keep it (donno for what also). when we reach home and i ask him what to do with it, he will say "throw it away". aiyoooo if u want to throw it away then in the first place dont ask me to keep in my bag!
i didn't sleep well also and end up my left shoulder & back aches! =( so far i haven't even done any of those exercise Mrs Wong taught... now cant go to public swimming pool also cos of the swine flu

technically recession started at diff countries at diff time... leyman bros issue is not the trigger.. rather it was the CDOs which trigger the downturn of the economy... some contries like china n india are still not in recession... SG hit recession coz we are an export dependent country thus get hit sometime last yr... the start of the recession has been brewing since end 2007 (start of the CDOs trouble)
essentially ur company cannot claim that u r being retrench if u r the only one who is being shown the door lor.. ur case seems more like a dismissal..
