My left nip has a huge blister [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] resulted from improper latch during the drive home (silly me... Couldn't bear her crying so let her latch). Anyone know what's the fastest way for it to heal? It is one big liquid filled bubble right now.

the diff is i am plus size and there are plus sizes stores around just more ex than online. I accept the quality for the price i pay. I scout local stores when there is a sale too to buy something i really tried on before. My size s friend also cannot phantom why i keep doing it. Partially i also dont hv time to go shop too.
I used to take a day off once every few mths to shop drink coffee alone but end up missing my kid like siao. So i end up bringing her subsequently.
I take the gamble lor but i wont fork out too much for these gambles.

Hi ladies,
Re: Online shopping
Yes, online shopping have to take a gamble unless u are buying branded items where there is QC for the quality.
Hi Celia,
No lah, me just interested in fashion and was in the industry for awhile, so have a sharper sense of awareness, that is all.
In other countries like USA and UK, personal shopper in big departmental store is considered a respected job and can command a good pay.

Hi Ladies and gentleman (we do have 1sttimepapa logging in sometimes),
Have been too busy to catch up with all the posts so will just respond to those I did manage to read. Daughter took her 6 in 1 jab today and she is cranky. Think its a side-effect of the jab [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
Re enrichment classes: Am keen on kindermusik and baby gym classes. Will prob start baby gym at 9 months or so after baby can crawl.
Activities to do with baby: I have been doing mat play / tummy time, flash cards (not fancy ones, just simple black and white ones I printed off the net), reading nursery rhymes (baby's attention span is short and can't really sit through a full-length story book), singing songs while moving her limbs and playing with rattle (to track her eye movements). Sometimes when I am tired, I just leave her in the cot to be entertained by her mobile. She will try and "talk" to the mobile and move her limbs along with the mobile.
Pre-schools: Wow, St James has filled up already? So what happens to babies born in the 2nd half of this year? They will never be able to get in then since St James only accepts students on their waiting lists from birth onwards. Am thinking of Pat's School House at their Halifax campus. Will prob try out their playgroup first before deciding whether to enrol there for nursery.

Oh yah and Vicma, these are what I look out for when shopping for my new "motherly" figure:-
1. Get A-line and empire cuts - more flattering I feel. For empire cut dresses, I usually add a belt to add some "shape" if not I am afraid I will look preggers.
2. Sleeveless tops are fine but I usually throw on a jacket or cardi on top. Dresses up an outfit immediately I think. Halter and tube tops are usually pretty flattering.
3. Try and flaunt your cleavage to draw attention away from other less flattering parts. (V neck tops work pretty well).
4. Maxi dresses work well to hide problem areas like tummy and hips.
Just my 2 cents worth. Ladies, pls feel free to share.

Hi Ming,
My gal was ok on the day of the 6-in-1 jab but became super cranky the next day when she ran a low-grade fever of around 37.5 degree for the whole day. PD gave me panadol (for infant) to standby and said give only when fever is 38 degrees, but I gave lah, but just a lower dosage than stated.

syzygy6,
You must burst it cause if u don't burst, the milk will clog there! I kena blisters all over my 2 nipples when just gave birth. My boy latch and suck v hard and he is impatience so he bites me too thats y blisters all over, I tell you its scary.
I burst them all not painful actually.. You wash your hands first before bursting then just use your finger nails and gently squeeze, it'll burst very easily. After bursting all those blisters, I can pull off the skin.
For your case only 1 blister should be okay lah.

Hi syzygy6, Weekends have to cook for son and hubby. Son did not go school so have to "entertain" him also. Than have even lesser time to pump milk.
My hubby say my face is getting thinner and thinner. What to do wow. Face thin very difficult to get back fats and will look very old. But I;m always tired. During confinement i also didnt put on weight as wake up for night feeding.. So sianz.
Than only face thin, the rest of the body still the same. Why huh??

waiting for my baby to sleep. sigh. I hope it's not a change in his pattern. Still "ehehing" away. Shall wait for a few more minutes before popping into the room.
re st james
the admin staff gave me a funny look when i laughingly made a comment that babies born in second half need not apply. Err... obviously she didn't think it was funny. There were some slots for session 2 Leedon when we registered.
Celia,
If ordering from US sites that don't ship international, you can use third party forwarder like Vpost, Borderlinx to ship back the items. Charges are based on volumetric or actual weight, whichever is higher.
I ordered from gap/on once, but i feel that the quality was not good. Maybe it's only those that I bought. Gap/ON package was a plastic envelope, and I wondered how Borderlinx measured the volumetric weight. They probably included lots of air in it!
Ordered from Ralph Lauren when they are having good sales. Theirs come in a box. Did it twice Will usually order about 10-15 pieces (baby clothes) to fill it up. Shipping through borderlinx is quite reasonable at about S$40+ . At least no "air" charges.
Amazon is another hit and miss. My stuff was packed a big box and filled with "air". But since I got it at a good price, it was still much cheaper than getting in SG after including shipping costs.
Usually i'm quite cautious about ordering from overseas, coz I tend to worry about shipping charges. Which is a good thing, otherwise i'll be clicking like crazy.
Unfortunately the local sprees are so TEMPTING!
Re personal shopper
I think tangs and warehouse/topshop offer such services. I've never tried but i wonder if they can stick to the budget. Haha.
Vic Ma
Really envious of your milk supply. If only I have half of that, I'll be over the moon. Someone made an unkind comment that I should get milk from another mother. I was so upset! Tried telling myself that as long as I have tried my best (pumping as much as I could), I shouldn't care about people's comments.

Celyn,
I think l can only pump before work starts and during lunch. To set up, pump and wash parts will take me at least 1/2 hour. Afraid end up asked to leave. I would love to be SAHM but need my job.
Right now I plan to reach office at 8.30 to pump.
Work starts at 9am
lunch time 1-2pm - have lunch (bring from home and microwave) then pump
work from 2-5.45pm
5.45pm knock off - reach my mom's place by 6.30 to pick up my girl - pump there before going home or latch her if it is feeding time.
Then squeeze in pump session at night before sleep and morning before leaving the house.

Hi syzygy6, Actually i just cook dinner. Afternoon either me or hubby will bring him out. Wanted to cook some proper meals as I really hate to eat outside and my son coughing... Home cook at least got soup. If eat outside going to be very expensive and troublesome to bring baby along too. Yesterday noon i bring my son to Prego to me - just me and my son as one of us have to stay back to look after baby... Actually wanted to bring him to Arts museum but after doing all the baby stuff in the morning, ended up leaving the house at 11:30.. Reach there around 12:30 and no place to park. So in the end go straight to Raffles City for lunch. Everywhere is crowded only Prego quite empty.. I must say i;m quite disappointed with their pasta... the spagetti very gelat.. not nice. I think the spaggetti at Han's at Thomson plaza and the one at Takashimaya food court is so much better!
Syzygy6,
Even with a nursing bib, the pump will still make some sound leh. Ur colleague (especially male) will paiseh anot? Pump in toilet is best option, bring in the pump bag and then wash hands then go cubicle to pump. I use toilet paper to close the toilet lid then sit on it. If u worried abt hygiene, prepare dettol handwipes and use b4 pumping. Once I pump finished, I pour the EBM into 1 bottle and cap it.
To deduce stress on pumping while people wait outside, I will go to a toilet w many cubicles and choose the one furthest from the main entrance.

its to increase milk flow but milder than sacred tea and feenugreek. I liked this from my 1st child days as the milk increase is gentle wo risks of engorgement.
