each is USD13.99. so if 4 ppl share the cost, it will be 13.99 x 3 / 4 = USD10.50



[about SGD14.18 before shipping costs]



I am getting 1 pc. saw another mummy getting another so 2 slots left if anyone interested.

Sorry gals.. Haven't got time to call jwt as my elder gal got eye infection yesterday + mild bronchitis. Brought her see gp kanna rejected.. Coz e young relief doc din dare to prescribe medicine for my gal's eye n ask us to go a&e.. Went mt A 24 hr clinic n get medicine.. Yesterday burnt.. Today gal din go cc n my mum helps n comes my place take care.. Now my bb a bit runny nose, kanna spread by jiejie.. But I dun intend to treat.. Coz I read fr a book, saying mild runny nose n cough, can leave it n let their body build immune system.. Unless u think it is getting worse then go see doc..



Duckling, I normally cook once a day.. Lunch I give cereal.. Lazy to cook twice..



Jasmine, I bought the bb swimming pool.. Till date I only used once.. Waste money.. Coz I no time to let bb swim at home.. Hehe..

 
Duckling.. Normal vicks only for 2yrs up.. Got bb vicks at pharmacy.. I bot mine at guardian..

Actually last time my bb got runny nose for a month.. Since gp n pd trice.. Then pd told me juz leave it n dun overtreat it.. Maybe she is sensitive towards something at home.. So I stop medicine n only use e salt water occassionally to clear her nose. Within 1-2 weeks, her nose stops running..

 
Yo.. Come in today... Long time never come in le. Busy at work and tired at home.



Cheekrene, count in my girl, she is four this year. thanks.

Hello friends,



Feeling very stressed recently.. Just want to ask those whom put their little ones to ifc or cc. How do u split who bring bb to and fro from sch with hb without the help of in laws? This problem has been going on between my hb and me. Yeah i know he wakes up earlier to bring my bb to ifc, but i'm always the one having to rush after work to pick him up even when i have unfinished work left. He simply love to do ot. Yes, i brought bb to ifc in the morning and back in the evening when he was abroad, it seemed like morning exercise to work and evening home to stress - handling bb while waiting for him to be back. Haiz all in all just feel that it is unfair and not nice to compare who's contributing more or less.

Wonder when this kind of life will be over soon.

 
Cheekrene,

I already emailed her. She may reply slower but I will let you know once I received her email ok?



Penguin,

Cannot compare who contribute more or less. If not you will feel yourself very unhappy.

 
penguin,

i agree with jasmine. cant compare the contribution. 1 of us has to sacrifice and cant expect much on the other partner. let it be... i was in your shoe before but i let go and do my best whatever i can.



Mummies attending first birthday bash,

i already mail you on 2nd payment thru FB. please do check and make payment soon. thank you!

 
ya i agreed with Jasmine, why u keep comparing who do more and all the unfairness..having bb is both parties, one of the parent bound to 'sacrifice' more time for the baby than the other. usually will be the mother... i dont mean it MUST be the mother, but usually we are the ones..if u see ur bb as a 'hindrance' to your work and time, just becos ur hb is pushing him to you, then ur life will be very miserable.. treat it as a bonding time with ur bb..

 
Penguin

I agree with the rest. I also find my hb contribute less while I sacrifice my me time and career commitment. But I dont regret all these as I love my bb very much, the sacrifice is for my little one not for anyone else. I find the sacrifice worthwhile everytime I see my bb smile at me. When he doesn't feel well, he will turn to me and reject my hb. Now my hb complain my bb didn't want him. I told him he has to spend more time with him. Not just a little play time, but also learn to take care of him. Think he realize that too, so starts to tell bb bedtime stories.

 
My boy also having running nose more than a week already. And his temp is lower than usual. 36.6. His body also cold and damp and he hasnt been himself. Very manja and also eat very little and drinks little too. Hardly any urine.



Any idea why body is cold and sweaty ? Like cold sweat. But he doesn't look pale but crys on and off.

 
Penguin

Just to share. I tried IFC and indeed it was v stressful and tiring to rush bb to the centre then rush to work. Hv to wake up early to prepare bb. Hv to feed bb, change diaper and change to warmer clothings then prepare myself for work without helper is v stressful. Maybe u can consider getting a maid. I got one and life is alot easier. Don't hv to wait for hb for things to be done. Even go outings also got help to prepare bb. I just need to ensure everything is ok. Less conflict with hb as I dun expect him to do more things. Of cos u will lose the privacy. I'm slowly getting use to it.



I'm considering putting bb to IFC again but shorter hours. But expensive since I got a maid now. In dilemma.

 


Cheekrene, yakult can't keep under normal temp leh.. Must be in fridge so how to put in goodies bag ah?



Penguin, I agree wif the mummies here.. Can't compare who contribute more.. Else the one making comparison will have mental imbalance n not good for the whole family.. I think when yr boy gets bigger, eg can walk n talk, ard 1.5- 2yrs old then will be more relax as he will be more easier to handle.. Can drink milk on his own, more responsive, not need to carry to n fro fr cc, can walk abit etc... Soon soon.. Endure orh.. Jia you!!
