[skinneybeenie]

for those who pump, do u find that your letdown is slower? i used to letdown almost immed and it'd just gush out for the next 10 mins.. nut now i need to wait abt 5-10mins then i have let down and then it dries up and i have to wait another 5-10 mins!!! arghhh. and i'm going back to work soon!!!

my boy used to cough and choke i guess due to the fast let down but he doesn't do that anymore.

[eyevee]

tris, can pm me nannies contact i tink abt it??

Lileen, terence always tell me, he change job will have better chance of increase salary, cos everytime he change job, can demand for higher pay if that company wants him. My own company, cannot job hop hehe -.- but at least suffer is suffer for my self.

Alicia, dun think she cry, we put her there and went off. She takes FBM but lesser than when we feed her, i think the teachers there dun understand or catch her hunger signs well.

canopyhaze, tats the good thing i shave my girl so cradle cap easier to remove. I put california baby calendula cream at night before sleep, next monday shower, wash cloth can remove when washing the hair in circular motion.

iciclediamond, what makeup u do??? if u do corporate video shoot make up, can u PM me ur contacts? Or send to my company email [email protected]

[angelbaby8]

hi , can i check for those using medela or avent cooler bag, can i check how long can we keep the breastmilk cold inside? I am doing events and after pump may have to keep inside the bag for the day....

Btw how do we transport frozen breast milk from one place to another, say ard 1hrs+..

anyone using fridge to go?

 

[roxyz]

btw anyone keen to ship in exersaucers from amazon?

eg http://www.amazon.com/Evenflo-ExerSaucer-Triple-Fun-Jungle/dp/B001H0GF10/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=baby-products&qid=1268750933&sr=8-4

shipping costs will be via container shipping so slower but cheaper.... each container can have 6 exersaucer but will take 30 - 35d to reach sing....so est exersaucer cost=
(us120 * 1.45 + est 80 - 100 shipping cost)* 1.08% for gst n marine insurance = S$280 - S$300 per cost of each exersaucer... singapore is selling 400 plus i tink... no need to get e same model as above.. can check wat they have on amazon.. just dat shipping costs is abt e same.. so far me and my frd quite keen so need 4 more slots...

 

[ainsley_yip]

[miuy]

angelbaby - the medela coole bag wif the ice pack (blue thingy) can keep the milk cold for hrs...

roxy - take good care of ur dad... dun take too much carbo and high cholesterol stuff.. no good.. and if can lose weight will be good since he is on the plump side...

shokel, i added u le.. in fb..

went to robinsons to buy car seat, the britax very limited choices, ended up with evenflo.. can support up to 22.5kg and can totally lie down.. prefer that compared to the rest...

 

[arisz]

Wei Ting, you finally got your baby seat la.

Try already?

You hurry up try your learning home ah.
*Touchwood* if really got problem, at least still can change now ah!

 

[kitsune_sg]

I finally went to the Mattel warehouse sale today. Bought a display infant to toddler bouncer for $30 n a fisher price leraning home for $150 n a Barney radio for $5. Condition of bouncer was quite good cos it is wrapped up in plastic n material was not faded. But still got the maid to wash it once we came back. Here are pixs of my 2 gals with our FP loot. http://anewpiggy.blogspot.com/2010/03/mattel-toys-warehouse-sale.html

 

[icyting]

haha arisz, yah finally... but evenflo not very popular hor? hubby at carpark now trying to assemble onto the car, i at home look after bb.. lol..

wait till he's back later or tomorrow then we try the learning home, i just bought the batteries just now.. haha.. crossing fingers..

 

[icyting]

pauline, the rocker you got is exactly the same as mine.. good buy! that one cost $109 outside.. got it as a gift from my colleague.. your learning house works hor? haha.. like i mentioned earlier, bought yday but have not tried out yet.. keke.. your girlS look so cute!

 

[shokel]

oh ya, forgot to ask, do ur bb drink freshly pumped milk ar? cos i always warm the freshly pumped milk before feedin bb...

 

[kitsune_sg]

Thanks, Wei Ting. I didn't know the price so a bit wary when I bought. Thought it probably costs $80-$90. I like it because of the cow motif cos our baby are moo moo cows mah. hee. Yup the learning home works but my hubby took a long time to set up. It uses C batteries so must buy separately.

Roxy, tempted by the exersaucer but just bought the FP learning home and it's huge. Think exersaucer, I'll just rent from toy rental website bah.

 

[icyting]

ok, good.. i shall try to assemble the learning home with hubby tomorrow.. too late now, anytime bb will wake up for milk.. lol.

 

[calamari]

Pauline ah, must thoroughly wash the bouncer leh even tho wrapped in plastic cos I asked the staff, they told me the display pcs wrapped in plastic just wrapped only. Used to be displayed outside. Think must dettol. But v good buy I agree. Wanted to buy one n put at my mom's house but Hubby don't let me buy say bb outgrowing bouncer btw this bouncer is the same one my bb is using now as well

weiting: I saw the evenflo at robs before. Looks good.

 

[miuy]

Shokel - freshly pumped bm no nid to warm! Itz body temp.. Juz Like bb drink from ur breasts! Onli nid to warm those from the fridge..

Beli jia lat! Tink bb growth spurts! Keep drinking milk non stop! Oh no! Dunno growth spurts will last how many days? N bb keep fussin at nite.. Mi can't zz at all!
