My massage also 60 mins, for $38. But might be a bit troublesome for some of the mommies here to travel there. More info at the massage lady's website here: http://compassvalemassage.blogspot.com/
I think if your massage is good, with the improved blood circulation, the numbness should happen much less often. At least that's the case for me lah. Keeps away my backache for ard 1 mth, and reduces the frequency of parts of my body going numb.
Re: Bumwear
Actually if you let bb wear bumwear after starting solids, it's very easy to wash. SERIOUSLY. Cos I am very lazy when it comes to handwashing stuff.
Basically you take out the insert, rinse it and wring out the pee, then rinse again to make sure no more pee, then can pop into washing machine to wash liao.
I reuse the bumwear for 2 pees, meaning i just change the insert every 3 hrs, without changing the bumwear. Cos if you feel the bumwear after bb pee, its actually very dry. I believe that was the intention also, which is why the starter kit comes with a lot more inserts than bumwear.
As for washing out the poop, just use showerhead to spray the poop off into the toiletbowl. Then spray off all the poop stains. Then rinse, and can go into washing machine also.

<font color="ff0000">Baby clothes for sale!</font> - Website here
I'm helping my friend to advertise her small home biz, because her hubby got a job posting overseas & she needs to clear stock before they move there. Most prices are before discount, so PM me and let me know what you're interested in so I can get her to quote you a good price.
Thanks!!

Re: Confinement food catering
I can't remember which mommy was the one who was keen on ordering confinement food for just 1 meal, but Natal Essentials provides catering for just lunch or dinner.
I ordered from NewBaby last time, and they do BOTH lunch AND dinner. Doesn't seem like there is a choice for just 1 meal a day.

I think when the time is near hor.. the gynae will monitor for u. B/c the appts will be pushed up from once a mth to once in 2 weeks then every week. So when the BB turns heads down, your cervix opens etc etc.. all those ur gynae shd be able to advise you lor.

hi mummies,
copied the para below from the MOH website. as of today, all suspected H1N1 cases involving a pregnant mother beyond 24 weeks (most of us here) will be directly referred to KKH A&E. i was thinking that if we've been referred there close to our EDD, we might end up giving birth there even if it's not our first choice hospital...
From 11 June, all suspected cases of Influenza A (H1N1-2009) involving children under the age of 16 years, and pregnant women beyond 24 weeks gestation will be referred directly to the Children’s Emergency (CE) at KKH via the 993 ambulance. In situations where both parent(s) and child are suspected cases of Influenza A (H1N1-2009), they will be referred to KKH together in the first instance. This will allow the patients to receive the required paediatric and obstetric care needed. They will be attended by the respective paediatric and obstetric teams on duty at the CE.

For my gynae at TMC, she will ask if I have a prefered PD. If yes, then she will write it down. If no, she will recommend one. For me, I am also a 2nd time mum, and I like the PD a lot, so will definitely let him take care of my #2. Charges different between PD, I think. For my #1 (delivered in Jan08), here are the charges:
Baby package (2 days) - $338
Medical supplies - $37
Medical laboratory fees - $113
Procedure - $70
PD charge for the 2 days stay - $225
<font color="0000ff">Katherine</font>
Yes, let's JIA YOU!!!!! If I succeed this time, I want to bf as long as I can this time round, and can let my #1 has some also if the supply is enough (my wish). Cos still feel a bit guilty for not able to provide him with the best milk.

It's me who keen to order one meal confinement catering.
Thanks for sharing your experience about breastfeeding. So i must inform the nurse to bring bb to me every 3hrs when in hospital so that it will encourage my milk flow.
Did your older child develop jaundice? My #1 did and got to readmit to hospital. It was so stressful plus my injury i did not persist with breastfeeding. I pray that #2 won't develop jaundice then how ? Any advice.
I also read that we should feed bb on cue not when they started to cry ? So you are to wake bb up to feed like every 3hrs or so depending on the bb ?
The first few days milk very little is it ? Do i need to get a manual pump to standby ? How do i store the express later ? Freezer or fridge ? Haha sorry lots of qns
Kam/Katherine

Rach

Really no experience then plus to many pple, MIL give so many advices very fan lor. I think i also suffer abit of depression. I really felt like i'm going crazy liao

hui chern / Katherine:
Looks like we were on the same boat - my son developed jaundice too, readmitted to the hospital after a few days. What worse is he is a G6PD deficiency patient, so made the jaundice even more difficult to clear. And this ignorance mum still insisted on total bf for the whole of 1st week, until my son was dangerously dehydrated. Had to be on drips while receiving the uv-light therapy, when he was barely 1 week old. My heart was like being cut into halves.......
My #2 has high chance of getting G6PD deficiency also since both me and hubby are carrier. I hope with my past experience and advise from experience mummies, I will succeed this time even if baby has jaundice.

Shanice,
Then you have to check with the PD lor. It doesn't matter which PD you go to afterwards, you don't have to tell your gynae that. What you need is to have a PD to check your baby after he/she is born AT THE HOSPITAL during your and your baby hospital stay, and so this PD has to be one of the panel PDs for that hospital, else they won't allow him/her to come to the hospital to check on your baby.

Jess: MILKTRAY- Interested! But think will get scolding for buying
dilemma! If i buy, have to make the price a secret liao :x
Shelled: WAH! Quite cheap leh! hahaa.. the package i took up (paid only $100 deposit) is about $780 already leh. Is the compassvale massage good?
Oooo KKH my choice of hospital as my gynae stationed there.. but still cannot fall sick ah!!
Hoho.. yesterday played the 3d scan dvd on tv. Hubby was fascinated.. LOL It's actually the entire scanning process.. So glad i signed up for it Oh btw, it is free parking, just get the coupon from the reception.
Yeah PC show starts today. Saturday avoid driving there as there is a flea market at the pit building (next to sg flyer), will have massive jam. Will be heading down almost every other day (hubby in-charge of a booth).. need check out on internet/scv re-contract promo etc etc. Anyone interested?

I bot these for $70:
1) 6 SS white tops (newborn)
2) 6 LS white tops (NB)
3) 6 SS coloured tops (3mths+)
4) 6 white pants (NB)
5) 12 coloured shorts (NB)
6) 24 hankies
7) 4 sets of mittens & booties
Quality is just what I was looking for. Coz if Babylet is anything like his dad & mum, he will wanna be comfy, scared of warm weather & like to wear the soft soft type of clothes. Too thick or good quality ones, he wun wanna wear at home. Those I will reserve for going out lor.</font>

<font face="Comic Sans Ms"><font color="0000ff"><u>Breastfeeding</u>
Same as Shelled, I'm very much pro TBF. I find it really convenient lor & of cuz mummy's milk is still the best for our baby. Tt's why I insisted to TBF both my children till they turn 1yo & will do the same for #3.
I my son immediately after delivery in the labour ward even though he's not hungry. Just let BB get e motion of sucking/latching. Anyway 1st few days u prob wun hv much milk, it will be colostrum which is v impt for our bb.
Newborns hv v small digestive systems, and colostrum delivers its nutrients in a very concentrated low-volume form. It has a mild laxative effect, encouraging the passing of the bb's first stool, which is called meconium.
Don't worry if you cannot pump out much milk in the beginning. I rem I was also v depressed when my #1 was in the hospital for Jaundice & I cld only pump out like 20 ml despite my breast being v engorged. It didn't help when my MIL/mum was not very pro TBF. Thank God my DH stood by me. He even helped me to massage my breast when I get lumps etc.
In practice if you wish to increase yr milk supply then aim to empty yr breast every time. Offer both breast to yr BB during every feed. But if yr BB is a small eater like my #2 then I wld suggest u do tandem pump, nurse & pump @ e same time. This will ensure you empty both yr breast.
I freeze up my milk for "rainy days" use. On days when my supply is low esp when hving menses or when work gets too busy & I'm unable to stick to my schedule, my children still gets their BM. Plus usually they are not able to finish the EBM by the next day. </font></font>

My boy just turned 2 yrs old last week.
So far he doesn't hit me or my tummy, but he's more gentle than normal boys lah. Ppl say cos he follow me too much, become girly.
He does sayang my tummy and make his didi "dance" by jiggling my tummy though. As for the nappy liners, whatever brand also bumrash! I believe has to do with the fact that it's not breathable, cos if I just let him wear nappy without liner, it's ok leh...

hui chern / Re: Breastfeeding
My #1 only had a very very slight case of jaundice, so no need to do anything extra. Can discharge as per normal. If you believe, prayers can work wonders, so keep your faith when it comes to #2.
Actually it was a better choice to let your #1 go onto FM, because BM actually makes the jaundice worse. It's called "Breastmilk Jaundice". My boy's slight case dragged on until he turned 1 mth old lor, cos I constantly gave him BM.
Your milk won't properly come in until about 1-2wks after BFing, but you have to continue to latch bb on to stimulate your milk production so that the milk will come in! Try not to use pump, because pump cannot be as efficient as a real bb suckling. Milk production is mostly hormonal, and having a real bb latching on will stimulate that more than a pump.
As for waking bb to feed on schedule or not, not all bb are on 3hr schedule, so for the 1st few days, better to let bb take the lead. Schedules can range for 2-4hrs usually. And during growth spurts, sometimes they can drink more often because they need extra nutrients. Personally I let my #1 take the lead regarding his schedule. Afterall, only he will know when he is hungry lor! If i die die stick to every 3hrs, if he hungry earlier how? If he is sleeping, of course I won't go and wake him up, cos I also wanna rest lor!
Gina / Re: Massage
I find the compassvale massage good lor. Otherwise I also won't go back again and again, despite having to take train then change to LRT just to get to her place. But since you already paid deposit for a package, then don't think so much lah.
