i used the sling and the ergo carrier. the ergo was very good for me cos i have a weak back. the carrier concentrates baby's weight on the hips (and my hips v big!) and takes off strain from the back.

i also think j&j top to toe's good enough
they use it at KKH if i'm not mistaken to bathe the newborns

pups> saw a lot of gd reviews on bjorn. was urs original or air or synergy?
mata> thks will check out ergo too
i saw lascal carrier at kakibukit that day, and my hubby tried it on and liked the feel and the
"spinal support" for newborn. so thought it is probably not bad. but after surfing a few websites, don't seem like there are many reviews on lascal carrier.

if its rec by someone trustworthy then shld b ok. 4 me, i cld sense tt my CL recorded down the date of my EDD in her notebk when i called her. so i know she wun 4get. a fren of mine booked the same CL for her #2 as when she had her #1. who knows when she called the CL again some mths later, the CL claimed to hv 4gotten abt her and said can only do 2 wks for her. ended up she went to an agency and got a lousy CL. mayb u wanna call the CL juz to make sure. coz now we're in 2nd tri liao, no harm to call and remind again.

i swear by the sling & ergo carrier too. personally i feel tt when baby is not tt firm yet, stick to the sling 1st as they r in lying position most times. i only let my son face me when he is 2-3 mths old, when neck & back muscles r firmer and tts oso when they r more inquisitive abt their env. i feel umcomfortable letting them go into baby carrier like Bjorn (though they claimed its suitable for NBs) and Ergo coz its more for babies abv 3 mths old. the initial few mths its more as a convenience to us. juz my thots!
RE: Washable breastpads
ladies whom used it b4... issit hygienic? i kept feeling its inmpossible to wash the milk off the pads thus rather stick to disposable ones to prevent infection. so i used lots of it when i had #1. am planning to stick to disposable ones again for #2 as well until i saw u all discussing.

crystalised: i use washable breastpads -- cos i'm allergic to the disposable ones. weird right?? it was so itchy! you never realy get rid of all the oil from the breastmilk though, there will always be stains, but other wise, as long as you wash them properly (i use a hot cycle) they're great.
y only problem is that my helper tends to lose them in the wash! So i buy the avent ones that come in a laundry bag.

vodkarib: hb can just carry the baby with two hands.. otherwise its diff to wash the sling or the carrier if he perspires so much.. his smell will go on the baby also.. for hygiene's sake, i rather he bond with baby by playing with her. once in a while then carry.
jrt: agree with u about the sling and carrier. seems quite dangerous for NB to go into the carrier. esp if NB falls asleep? the neck like not stable.. sling can use until baby grow quite big also..
nobody got any idea about the bottles? haha...

blinkblink,
it depends on how often u wana sterilise the bottles n whether u have space to keep the sterilised bottles or not. if u very "onz" u can buy 2 bottles n keep sterilising the whole time lor. for me, i will get 6 bottles of the smallest size for few mths den change it to at least 4 bottles of size 210ml when bb is bigger lor.

jRt : Thanks for your info.
Welcome to all new mummies...
I love the sling. I am still using on my girl who is now 26 mths when she wants to nap outside.
blinkblink : I use a lot of bottles for my #1 as i fully pump out. If fully latch on, then i don't think need a lot of bottle. Get 4 - 6 small bottles will do. Anyway, if not enough, can buy more anytime.

dreamygal, how heavy is ur girl? the last time i slinged my son was when he was 30 mths, i think? cant sling too long... back & shoulder will ache! more than 2 bags of 5kg rice!
blinkblink, wat did u ask abt the bottles?
mata
oh u sensitive to disposable breast pads ah? fortunately I am ok wif it. think will stick to it bah. i am worried abt infection if i dun wash it properly leh.

any mummies here with their bellies itching like hell?
Mine is driving me crazy and developing little bumps where the itch is. I'm trying the best not to scratch, cos i am so afraid of the stretch marks. Palmer's stretch mark cream, body moisturiser are not working ...
what should i do?

fifi: I didn't know h&m has a maternity line. You are going to be super fashionable mtb.
miemie: I know, after flying in dec to mauritius, I realise I can't travel that easily. But I saw many angmohs with very young children there. There were a number of strollers. Maybe you can choose resort-like locations. I'm going to see how it can be done in the future.

I went for my first antenatal class by TMC last night. Watched a video on twins breastfeeding and they have a special support pillow/mattress for them.
There were so many people last night, and I saw people who looked familiar, like one of them was my JC friend, but I didn't say hi, and others I seemed to have seen them before. Learnt some exercises, but I'm not sure whether I can remember them.
The trainer also dispelled some myths, like the diamonte bananas can be eaten, and not just the smaller ones, and too much ginger in the first ten days can lead to jaundice if you breastfeed.

jrt, dreamygal, gal and blinkblink:
I love the sling too! Slung both my kids til they were too heavy to be slung. I love that I can breastfeed everywhere in them. I even breastfeed in the supermarket while buying vegetables and nobody knows!
blink blink re bottles:
from nb to about 3 months, i only used the 120 ml avent bottles. they're handy for water as well.
The bigger bottles are useful only later when they start drinking more. But then again, it depends on wheher you are bottle feeding or breastfeeding. i bf exclusively, so i prefer the smaller bottles for easier storage and warming up.Hope this helps!

i bot the MIM sling. I got 2, one in cotton sateen, the other one silk. it was really a worthy buy. once u get the hang of the sling, u can use it to BF discreetly w/o a nursing cover too.
but can only use it b4 the baby gets inquisitive and starts pulling the sling lah. tts when u need a nursing cover.
wat u mean the one with the round piece? u meant the buckets? mine is the sling, not the sling pouch. i dun like sling pouch as we cant adjust the length. nvr used it b4 too.
dreamygal & mata
same as me. i prefer it coz when not in use, i can keep it in the bag. and yes, v often though my son not in the sling, i am still wearing it on me like some accessory! haha... i like it coz it can double up as blanket too.
siangjiao
i've heard some ladies hvg the same problem too. i dunno how to tackle it too. seems like if u apply stretchmark cream, it might b worse esp if it does not absorb well by the skin. plus the recent hot weather, it juz makes ur belly go doubly itchy. hope someone help can help u.
glass
dun buy the support pillow! it was a white elephant 4 me! and i saw many ladies selling it in the forum too. luckily i din buy the most exp one (My Brest Friend) and juz got one fr lollipop. i tried using it once and it was such a hindrance tt i nvr touched it anymore. personally i feel tt pillow will do juz fine. and they r softer. juz my opinion.

i went for the trial class last evening and Colleen is great! i like her v much and she's got such a soothing and comforting feel abt her lah. signed up for 8 sessions aft the lesson.
i told her abt ur case abt ur placenta tt moved up and she was soooo happy!
she mentioned this group of forum girls whom got together and attended her class. i knew she was referring to u and the rest of the ladies. but since i dunno ur name, i cldnt tell her who u r. she taught some exercises for LLP but advised not to overdo. will b diligent to do it daily. but she din teach the head stand stunt. i am too freak out to try tt anyway. hahaha

mie, jazol and jrt: thanks for your advice. i kinda figured out the itch could be cause by the elastic band of my skirt. And my colleague taught me to wet some tissues (the one in my office are industrial ones, quite thick. She say cloth also can) and place the cool, wet tissue on my tummy. It does help in a way, at least the tiny bumps disappear.
And mie and jaz, my nips had been itching like hell too. only the dark areas though. sometimes, i just want to twitch them in the office, but cannot lah (too many guys ard)... so suffer in agony. I realized cool showers does help.
