<font face="calisto mt"> Have not post for awhile as I was busy expressing but I do read. It's so nice to see all the gathering photos. Wish I can join but only can wish. My husband will never accompany me to such outings, he don't even want to bring us out on weekends. Then I so useless, cannot cope alone with 2 boys.

Jul, Happy Birthday. Thank you for your advise. I am now doing sole expressing. I still don't have the time to express 3 hourly. I will just do it as and when is possible. I do see my supply go up a weeny bit. Just pray hard my mother-in-law will leave me alone. She bought me a Medela freestyle last week after hearing is the best pump now. After spending this kind of money, she will want to see significant increase.

Itsy, Our son has the same name? Actually my boy's name is Iannis but I call him "Ian" for short.

Mwerkz / chellechelle, I am so envy of your stash. Never mind, must be thankful I can even produce breastmilk.

Vaccination, Anyone skipping the vaccination? My friend sent me this link which scares me. Now I am having my doubts. All I want is the best for Ian especially he's a preemie

Jul and milkway,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY and wish you have some ME time for yourself today?

Pam / Michelle / Rach,
Yes, my girl has been taking 4 hourly fed since about 3-4 weeks ago, when she was 2+ months. Last feed at nanny would be 6pm, then this week start to refuse the 10pm feed and only wants to sleep. So have to let her sleep first and then dreamfeed her at 11pm or so (after I pump the last round). Then she only wakes up at 4am for 1 latch. Good for me also as this means I don't have to worry for not having enough BM for her :)

Michelle, my nanny charges us $700 and will be $770 when she starts to take porridge.

Rach, any amount and any interval is normal, perfectly normal as long as they are happy and gain weight.

When babies are able to sleep well, they grow faster. Studies have also shown that sleeping (well) helps baby to develop a better immune system. My mum always remind me if baby is willing to sleep, just let her sleep, don't even bother to wake her up to feed her (for older baby lah, not for newborn).
 
Blessed : wah! don't say until like that wor! I one boy also cannot cope! then i lagi useless! no lah no lah. oh dear, you poor girl, must be very stressed by MIL's "gift".

I copied the below from http://www.nhgp.com.sg/contentview.aspx?article_id=498
If you don't want to immunise, only diphtheria and measles immunisations are compulsory by law, so you can opt not to have the rest.

National Childhood Immunisation Programme

The National Childhood Immunisation Programme (NCIP) has been in place in Singapore for several decades. It is based on the recommendation of Singapore's Expert Committee on Immunisation and the World Health Organisation.

The NCIP offers immunisations against:

Tuberculosis
Hepatitis B
Diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis
Poliomyelitis
Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR)

Only diphtheria and measles immunisations are compulsory by law.

All immunisations under the NCIP (except Hepatitis B) are fully subsidised and provided free of charge at all polyclinics to children who are Singaporeans. Medisave can be claimed for Hepatitis B vaccine.

Blessed: I am following the vaccinations closely from the vaccination card. When Jaydon was 2 mths,he was jab with the 6in1 and rotavirus. Yesterday when we went to see doc to check his poo poo...he was jab with PNEUMOCOCCUS. I am taking a package from the paediatric centre at Rivervale which cost ard $1400 for all the jabs and can use CDA to pay for it.

Brought Jaydon to PD yesterday to check...doc saw his poop and say that the color is dark green...not black (heng ah)...i think i color blind
happy.gif

hehe.. thats good... we should have our next gathering soon..
happy.gif
 
<font face="Calisto mt">26erithink, Thank you for your information. Meaning I can actually skip the Hep B, Pneumoicoccus etc right.

I am always very stress when my mother-in-law shower me with "gifts". It's double stress when my mum is in town. Thank God she has return to Taiwan last week.

By the way I saw a photo of you in the wrap. Has it been useful thus far? I need to get another carrier as Ian hates the MIM Sling which his brother used to love so much.

Flashcards, I actually DIY my own. There are website which offer the template so just download and print. It's much cheaper as compared to buying.

Calendula Cream, Saw someone mentioned about getting from spree. I used to purchase from BP but recently switch to buying from spree as it's cheaper, really regret. The 3 tubs I got are all so watery unlike the ones from BP. I suspect it has been placed in the warehouse for too long. I dare not use as organic product only have a shelf life of 2 years. Plus California baby product do not have expiry date on the tub. Think I will just use it on myself instead of the boys.</font>
 
<font color="cd6889"><font size="+1">Blissful</font></font>
ooh... got template to print out de ah??
wahh... heart pain even more...
haha..nevermind..shall make full use of it..next time #2 then no need to buy liaoz.. haha..

think must have #3 #4 to make it more worthwhile...wahahahha...

Ooh... actually i think it depends on where and who u got it from...

The difference between BP &amp; Spree.. i think... is BP sellers earns a profit... while Spree sellers are just helping to collate and gather orders to share shipping costs...and they are usually much lower in cost because no profit margin have been added in..
happy.gif


unless u have bought from spree a few times before and thats what u concluded?

Mmm.. i've got 3 tubs at home now.. 2 from spree and 1 from BP... wait till i use both then i tell u.. hehehe.... but i guess shouldnt have difference..
coz both sellers would have gotten them frm the same US store likely... and it has been shipped out and arrived abt the same time...
smile.gif
 
<font face="calisto mt">rayrachel, The source is different from spree &amp; BP. Spree are usually from Amazon or drugstore. Whereas BP are straight and fresh from California baby, the original manufacturer

You should laminate your flash card to prevent it from fraying. I laminate all my DIY flashcards.</font>
 
blessed

RE: Bumper playmat
For those mummies who wants to save some bucks - I have never bought any kind of playmat for my #1, it's totally ok, he didn't suffer much falls, and he started walking at 10 months! To me, it's not the money, but we wanted our baby to feel the floor.

<font face="Callisto mt">rayrachel, I am not sure which BP you took part in. But the regular BP sellers definitely ship their product straight from manufacturer. That's why they have the full range California baby products and not just 1 or 2 type which are on offer. Spree organizer are getting from Amazon &amp; drugstore now as there's sale. If regular price, it will be much more expensive then our local BP.

I bought a laminating machine from Popular.</font>
 
<font color="0000ff">Lina</font> just added you to facebook, saw you at sandwich's facebook

<font color="0000ff">sandwich</font> aiyo, your #1 is sooooo handsome lah...his eyes sooo BIG!!!

Paige is my doggie...i feel so bad now that BB is here, i think she feels neglected
sad.gif
always sulk at one corner.
Slim? Yalah, that's before giving birth, must go back to that or else all my working clothes cannot wear
sad.gif
 
paige,
oh please, your arms are like stick thin even in your preg pictures!! my #1 is getting thinner, so his eyes cover abt 1/2 of his face now, hahaa. i think when kate lynn grows older (maybe 6 months old onwards), she'll be able to play with paige ... like crawl on the floor together, grab things and chew them, etc
