cant imagine my luggage will overweight or not..haha

 

[sweetkyra]

Talking abt travel, are we allowed to bring water (>100ml)in milk bottles onto the flight? How about baby food jars (>100ml)? Scared the food jars will break if check in.

 

[sweetkyra]

Rachel

My girl finish 900g mamil in abt 10days. For overseas better bring extra!

 

[oasis2000]

Anyone been to The Club Room at Marina Bay Sands? Thinking of booking there for a party, looks quite big in the picture.

i heard cannot bring the thermal flask on the plane. May have to ask for hot water. I think im going to try my luck. For baby food jars, I use newspaper to wrap, put inside plastic bag and use clothes to wrap again. Don't think will break. I always use this method to bring wine and perfume back.

 

[sweetkyra]

I have a feeling baby food is exempted from all those requirement. I will call the airline to check but procrastinate cos my trip is still some time away in end July. Hehe.

 

[sweetkyra]

Got this from change airport website

WHAT ARE THE EXEMPTIONS FOR BABY FOOD IN LIQUID, AEROSOL AND GEL FORM?

Baby foods in liquid, aerosol and gel form, such as milk, juice and porridge, will be exempted from the restrictions, if there is a baby travelling with the adult passenger. Such items should be taken in quantities that are sufficient for the flight.



If the baby food is in containers with a maximum capacity of not more than 100ml, passengers are encouraged to place these containers in the 1-litre transparent re-sealable plastic bag. If this is not possible or if the baby food is in containers larger than 100ml, the baby food will be subjected to further checks at the security screening point. The baby must also be present at the security screening point. Passengers may also be asked to taste the baby food.

CAN I CARRY HOT WATER IN A FLASK TO PREPARE BABY FOOD?

Yes. Hot water will be allowed for carriage in a flask if there is a baby travelling with the adult passenger, even though hot water should be available from the airline onboard the flight. The hot water should be taken in quantities that are sufficient for the flight. It will also be subjected to further checks at the security screening point.

[oasis2000]

sweetkrya

thanks.. that is very helpful



Btw, can we get diarrhea medicine without prescription for baby in pharmacy? What medicine is that? What is the dosage for 9kg+ baby? Think better to standby the medicine in case he can't take the water there and LS. I planning to buy distill water there.

 

[cheekrene]

Mummies & Daddy,



Are there any hubbies willing to help out to take photos during our 1st birthday bash on 9 july? I need 2 photographers. Please get back to me soon! Thanks!

 

[jerainejerrell]

cheekrene,

thought last time pink xuan offer us a free photographer?

 

[cheekrene]

jasmine,

i almost forgot to ask her until yesterday. then i realise it was already too late to ask so i was thinking to ask if anyone can help to take?

 

[justnew]

cheekrene,



2 photographers cannot work together...its very hard for them to take pic..cos of the flash and the angle if one is taking, the other one may find it hard, and gota wait till he finish then he can shoot..

 

[justnew]

are we allow anyone to take photos? or gymboree only allows 2 photographers..if no one volunteers, i suggest everyone can take their own pic, then we can merge together ..

bcos i believe the daddies would want to join in the fun and celebrations with their babies, and not grounded to be photographer..

 

[cinderbelle]

i just came back from a trip to aust on SQ. Just to share:

1) Thermos flasks allowed on board

2) EBM also can bring into aust...when on flight just ask attendant to put into their fridge.

3) Usually if you let them know its baby food/cream, they are quite ok with letting you bring on board

4) If you have your own service apartment, my own learning is to bring baby detergent and wash there...cz sometimes the bibs and towels the babies use a lot. So better to wash and reuse.

5) Depending on where you are gg, supermarkets do sell those bottled/packet food for baby...so if cant prepare over there, can buy some to supplement baby's meals.

6) Baby water, i just boil the tap water and let it cool down before letting baby drink

7) i didnt bring sterilizer...i just boil the bottles/teats in service apartment, if in hotel i just pour boiling water over it.



Just some thoughts

 

[jerainejerrell]

cheekrene,

so you asked that PG and he's not available on that day?

 

[cheekrene]

jasmine,

i am not sure but can you help me to ask kissy as i cant access to fb in office?

 

[cheekrene]

sunflower,

i understand what you mean. we will have 2 groups on that day so i am not sure how PG can work on both groups. that is why i am asking for 2. if there is a pro PG, that will be great. i had ask jasmine to check with krissy for me as i am not able to access to fb.

 

[cathccl]

cinderbelle, cool!! thx for sharing...

ya goin to try to book apt services for accomo too..

 

[jerainejerrell]

cheekrene,

krissy said she will call them tomorrow to check whether they're still available on that date. will update you.

 

[sweetkyra]

Rachel,

When I asked PD for travel medicine, he gave me these:

Probiotics for diarrhea

Zyrtec for flu

Liquid paracetamol for fever

 

[sweetkyra]

Winnie

Did you hand carry or check in your bb luggage? I scared of missing luggage if check in, very kiasi! Heehee

 

[oasis2000]

I called my pd. He says the clinic sells travel pack. If just need probiotics then I dun need to get from clinic. He mention the pack include cough, flu, diarrhea, vomit and fever med.

 

[oasis2000]

i bought the MP pull up pants (blue packaging for boy). The size so small! Large (9-14kg) seems smaller than the Medium size normal MP diaper. Don't know if my boy can wear or not.

 

[cheekrene]

jasmine,

ok thanks!



rachel,

did you try? i think it will fit your boy because tighter the better and it will not leak.

 

[oasis2000]

cheekrene

Not yet. Have asked my helper to try one pc today and see how.

 

[tearybabe]

Morning mummies! haiz fell sick liao.. keep coughing, no wonder felt so no energy at the JWT gym last sat.



Is GSS, i saw dearbaby website selling Skip Hop - Zoo Pack & Lunchies Bundle @ $49.90. Too bad i already bought a lunchies.



Rachel, that's a lot of things to bring to travel. Good idea to bring pull up pants. How u bringing porridge? freezing it?

 

[justnew]

cheekrene,



i tried huggies ultra already..from 930pm, tahan till 7am then change..ok no leaking so far..

but i realised the size is bigger than normal huggies..but got a problem, the urine smell is very stinko if wear the diaper too long

same as pampers active if tahan too strong got a strong pungent smell. overall its ok.

 

[mango0977]

sunflower, ah nah and angel, i received the small tin GainIQ from Abbott...was sent to us late last week...the Abbott staff called me to arrange for delivery lei...also checked how my bb is faring on Similac...maybe u can go call them to check...

 

[the_gift]

pekkle, did u make a sample request on their website or they just call u cos u were a registered member?

 

[cheekrene]

joyce,

i even saw someone selling Skip Hop - Zoo Pack & Lunchies Bundle @ $40. even cheaper...



sunflower,

actually all diapers sure got pungent smell on urine, depending on how much our babies urine. my girl seem to urine a lot within 2 hours and her pet pet and fitti sure got strong smell of urine.

 

[justnew]

cheekrene,



ya i think so too..but then pampers active and huggies ultra seems to be champion for the pungent haha..

Mamy poko not so strong , i personally feel ba..



pekkle,



ya, i received 400gm last week too! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

i think its because they ever called me to check if im still consuming similac..then when bb reaching 1 yr old, they automatically send stage 3 [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 

[cheekrene]

sunflower,

true leh. MP is better. it can last my girl for at least more than 10 hours. normally my girl dont urine from 8-11pm. so i leave it till next morning at 4-5am. the smell is not that strong.

 

[justnew]

Don't urine from 8-11pm?? Then can diaper free on that time?? Wow gd leh

 

[mango0977]

angel, i am a registered member ah....or u can actually call them to ask for it? i tink they are usually quite accommodating [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 

[cheekrene]

sunflower,

ya, i and my mum realise she dun really urine at that time. so we save 1 diaper... haha!

 

[bakaholic]

so is mp pants sizing same as diaper?

 

[winnie_gal]

sweetkyra: i check in my bb bb luggage.. whahaha.. too heavy to hand carry...

[sweetkyra]

Winnie: how do u shower the bb when overseas?

 

[cheekrene]

[jascmy]

[bakaholic]
