Wah, ceres.. ur dog very good life..
Talking abt dogs and babies.. I was telling my hubby tat we need a new babygate for the kitchen to prevent BB from climbing in.. his response was... why do we need that, jus put one piece of the playpens for dogs at the kitchen door will do.. *faints*
Playpen tat I use are those loose pieces of metal gates that can be attached together. I was like asking him back.. the dogs dun even dare to go near the playpen, but what if BB pull on it and the whole piece falls on him/her.
His answer becomes more ridiculous.. dunno if he's trying to be funny or wat. He said.. he/she do that one or two times will learn not to do it liao.. *speechless*

as for your stool color, i think it's normal. you taking multi-vit rite? cuz sometimes the supplements we take will affect the stool color but it's ok. That's what my gynae said.

mrslong, here's a suggested list of what to buy for your cutie pie.
Clothing

2. mittens and bootees x 3 sets
3. receiving blanket
Dun buy too much clothing as you will be SWAMPED with loads and loads of them as gifts!!
Bathing
1. baby bath lotion (Mustela, California baby is good. Gynae told me not to use Johnson & Johnson as it is drying)
2. baby bath tub
3. anti-slip rubber mat to put on bath tub
4. rubber mat to change baby on
5. square facial cotton pads to clean babies face
6. dedicated small plastic tub to contain boiled water to wash baby's face only
7. diaper cream
8. Yu yee oil (for newborns, gynae told me not to apply directly on their skin as their skin is still v thin. Just rub on your hands and then "wave" them above baby's tummy without direct contact)

11. small dedicated container to put water to wash baby's butt afte pooing or peeing

Feeding
1. Milk bottles x 2
2. Milk teats x 2 (dun buy too many first in case baby doesn't like it, NUK is supposed to be closest to mummy's mipple, so babies supposedly take to it easier)

BB purchase list, for those shopping around Taka or the first few years, there are lists in hardcopy that you can take too.. include maternity stuff like nursing bras, etc. I did a comparison between the two before.. there are some differences.. so I guess what you want to purchase ultimately still have to be decided

Peanut might cause BB to get allergy / asthma is from the western side one. A few websites suggests that if you or your hubby has got asthma history (and some others), better to avoid peanut. It's not a chinese saying. So I avoid peanut as much as I can.

ceres>> ooh, i just hope my BB won't hv food allergies le.
anyway, i just searched on babycenter website & here's what i found:
"It's fine to eat peanuts while you're pregnant. The Department of Health says that there is no evidence that eating or not eating peanuts while you're pregnant affects your baby's chances of developing a peanut allergy.
Despite this advice, you may still feel reluctant to eat peanuts, and that's understandable. Talk to your GP or midwife if you have a family history of allergies and are worried about the effect eating peanuts will have on your baby. It's also worth remembering that, as long as you're eating a healthy balanced diet, excluding peanuts from your diet will not do you or your baby any harm."

ceres, mrs. long: the peanut allergy is mainly for those mommies or even daddies who already have some kind of allergies, so when pregnant, it's advisable to avoid peanuts, eggs, milk, etc. to prevent babies from having the allergies too. you can google and look it up.
I'm avoiding peanuts now. My cousin's kids are allergic to peanuts - inherited from the mom. the eldest one cannot stand the smell of any nuts, else he'll get rashes. and worst case scenario, can lead to death

oh, sorry. i forgot to mention that my cousin's kids have the peanut allergy but the kids' mother does not. and her brother's kids are also allergic to peanuts. i guess must be in the genes. they seldom fly coz they serve peanuts in the plane. once they flew back to Oz and some one ate peanuts in the plane and the elder one developed rashes. My cousin and his wife are both chinese, so it happens to every one, not just ang moh
think on the safe side, just avoid it.

Peanut: I think if you take a little bit, it would not develop allergy in our kids. Like you all always say.. moderation is the key word. Any food that you take too much is not good too.
Eumora: OMG!! Alot more promotion coming up for it. I saw 1 sell even cheaper. 1 box free 1 bar of soap at $110. So it comes up to only $22 per piece. If do self collect, any $3 discount. This is even cheaper than the buy 1 box and 2 pcs soap free.. which is $25 per pc. Should have buy later.

Ceres: The soap is like a miracle soap if you go to the link posted by Jo_lyn and see. Can use anywhere on your body, hair and face. Not sure if it is true. Jayamum had tried and she say it is real good.
I also using Clarin stretch mark oil now. Oh.. the soap can also help to lighten the stretchmark on your tummy.
