joeey,
i abit kiasu..yest went to check out the aussino bedding near my workplace after work. =P
For those who are keen to buy aussino bedding for the cot, there's a 15% discount for members for items not on sale. Before discount was $79 UOB credit card got 10% discount. It's good if you have either card. Think as long as the mattress is smaller than the fitted sheet, the salesperson advised definitely can fit in although the bedding comes in 1 size only.

Try mothercare at Marina Square. Saw a few under the Spring Maternity brand. But when i went to Spring, they say don't have nursing wear.
RE: 1st mth
I've a headache on this. Our relatives abt 100 already.
Even minus off those who don't come, maybe still have 80... Really can't afford to spend so much on the celebrations.

Vomitted out my entire dinner last night and had excruciating tummy pains. Sigh. My gal doesn't like the tempura.... So no more home made tempura. Too much washing and hassle.

Mashy,
I oso thot of using the multi purpose hall just below my flat ... but dun think i'll do it there cos it's small and dirty. The last time it rained, the rooftop was leaking as well. Plus, the hall is rite at the start of the passage way where reisidents need to walk past to their flats ... not much privacy.
Hiaz .. the search goes on ...

My place's MPH is very big and spacious. Pretty clean and there's a playground/garden just next to it. So i suppose it'll be able to help entertain the kids who come too.
Now have to look for cheap and good buffets since i've a huge guest list. I saw YLS catering starts from $6 per pax. Anyone tried their catering before?
Janice
Wow, what if bb comes out earlier than that? Is it ok to celebrate the 1st mth late? One thing abt chalets that i dislike is the mosquitoes. And bb too young to put any insect repellant. The patches don't work too.

For those giving away cakes, perhaps can consider this:

Can print the bb's photo on it too.
Even for the mini cakes.

nay, not preparing red eggs & AKK. I've not received red eggs & AKK for the longest time when i visit other pp's first mth celebrations. Think not popular anymore. Even for those who did prepare, they ended up with loads of leftovers coz no one wanted them.

Is it a huge family? If so, then tiring, but if just a few, just close one eye and get it over and done with lah. If not, half way thru say need to bf bb, excuse yourself and lock yourself in the room. They'll prob decide to leave then....

Then u must remember that once u let others take charge, u will have little say over everything, and it can include your guest list.
My ILs took charge of my #1's celebrations while i was still semi comatose. They placed my relatives in a little corner far away and put their friends & relatives near where the main action is.

If not, why don't u ask them to arrange a time to come together rather than come a few times separately? Since it's something that u can't avoid, might as well ask them to coordinate a bit to min disruptions to your bb's routine.
I had a few visitors during my confinement too. Expecting more this time since now with the H1N1 virus, they can't visit me in the hospital.

pris, have you tried momsinmind.com.sg? Think its cheaper than the outside boutiques.
bbS, the mattress protector from Ikea is cheap, but hor it tends to shift alot when bb moves around the cot... I have been using it but every morning have to readjust a bit cos its just 1 flat sheet of plastic. So think better to get those which are fully wrapped around the mattress kind.
sunshine, it is quite ma fan, and no i don't think its fun at all. But then again, delivering cakes to 30 relatives is even worse, so I would rather call them for buffet and if they cannot make it, then at least I have made the effort.

hehe, i think it's your gal!
I've no probs with it. Didn't shift a bit.
And it's not good to waterproof the whole mattress, coz makes the mattress not 'breathable'. Just do the body side, so that the head is not on the waterproof sheet.

mashy ha ha maybe my girls are very active when sleeping??? Oh dear, are u having some kind of food poisoning from the ingredients of the tempura. Hope you feel better soon.
I also think 1 session for first month is the best, but then again I really want the special session where my pastor and my cell group comes and prays for the bb, so cannot run from having 2 sessions. DOn't think my relatives or non Christian friends would want to participate in the baby blessing?

don't think so, think it's prob from the heartburn.

ya, may your gals are very active when sleeping. hahaa. Actually why not in 1 session? the catholics do their bb baptism and invite even their non-catholic friends/relatives... Maybe u should just get them to be ard to witness this.
