Rae, a friend gave us Lascal M1 carrier. I find it relatively easy to use, but I'm not in the habit of bringing baby out that often, so I'm only giving a limited review...
I think my hubby will be the one using it more. My back can be easily achy sometimes, like now due to breastfeeding (when let down is fast, can't use the breast pillow which I like).
Will visit the chiropractor soon...

diamondz> hmm $128 per unit? then it could be chemical servicing.. that would cost more. the price i mention is just for normal servicing. For chemical, my provider charge me $280 for one small aircond and one big aircond.

SarahMay, Phyphy n easties,
If you guys dont mind, can organize a eastie PS at my home. Weekdays preferred. But I only have internet access at nite n only if bb behaves, so perhaps someone can help to organize?

I use the Ergo carrier. It distributes the weight more evenly throught the back.

It depend on wat u need.
For sling, it gives young Bb a secure feeling and being cuddle . It can also calm a fussy Bb down
Ergo/ beco, it help to distribute the weight , gd for bigger Bb or older Bb.
All carrier once u get the hang of it will be easy to handle. That what I think.

Bb got two type of sleep, light n deep sleep and they will keep doing light sleep , deep sleep, light sleep n goes on like this. So if u can to let it sleep in bed , abt 10min or so u got to put down. That's wat I got from reading books on Bb sleeping but for my 2 kids I fail in letting them sleeping on their own.
U can do some research on it . Nit sure u understand the light n deep sleep part or not

I tried to rock bb to sleep on rocker, oat her to sleep on her side on bed. Sometimes work, sometimes don't. I think just have to keep doing it until she gets used to it. I also tell hubby, not to carry when we trying to put her sleep. But I think bb by natural love to be cuddle. Sometimes, we parents also love to cuddle them. Must refrain la, once a while ok hor.

ccpet - pls read!
My gal has crazy rash on her face since wk 3 of her life. It got better after 1.5wk but rash started to develop on her chest and back. I've finish 1 tube of topical antibiotic. Is yours called Fucidin H? PD gave me that and I'm supposed to apply moisturizer on her skin 1hr aft Fucidin H cos it's rather drying. PD gave me physiogel cream, avail @pharmacy. It's for sensitive skin, hypoallergenic and I think it's not bad. My mum uses other physiogel products too. U might see the ad on TV.
My gal kena 3x diaper rash since birth. First time was her butt disagrees with the wipes. There's red patches and cracked skin. I use Desitin ORIGINAL, the one with higher mat of zinc oxide, but it doesnt help. I was told by PD to clean the affected area with potassium permanganate wash (PP wash, from pharmacy) and theb use Fucidin H on it, both 2x a day. It recovered in about 2-3days. The next time it happened was bcos I use a bit of Johnson top to toe to wash her backside cos the diaper cream can't be gotten rid of with water alone. It din agree with her backside and her butt crack again. The last time was when I use the sebamed bath oil to wash her butt. PD gave it to me for her chest/back rash. It's ok on her body but not her butt! This time, her butt crack and there were red angry patches. I reuse the same treatment and it recovered.
Don't let the diaper rash get too bad. It can be stinging and she was crying badly when I put her In the bath tub for her daily bath.

BBtigger,
you can keep the bm in fridge for not more then 48 hours, thereafter you can transfer to the freezer to keep for 2 months, don't need to discard.
Tiger Lily,
i normally leave the leftover in warm water and reheat for next feed. I don't think can put back into the fridge.

Actually hor to prevent wastage I was tempted to get the milk trays ydae leh... Bt my ang give me THE FACE... sickening...
Babyt
hehe, i love to shop without the hb myself =p
Tigerlily
dep on wat u mean[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] let say if u expressed out 100ml, pour out 50ml into a separate bottle and feed the bb, the remaining untouched 50ml can be saved.

Mommies, anyone using GAIA products? I got the baby body and hair shampoo but find the texture a bit "different". It like in the form of Jelly/ Honey where when u pour it is so sticky shape that u need ot use ur figners to break it. Is it like that or the product i am having is expired? Please share.
thanks
thanks
today started on a BAAAAD note. my son broke one of my fave things. ARGH!!! How will i manage on my own with 2 kids?! plus my hubby now is super stressed at work..so i know i cannot ask him to help out at home. haiz.
BB Carriers
SLINGS
this is my 2 cents worth of exp.
3 types available
a. Fully adjustable i.e MIM sarong sling (anyone who gets enough practise can use BUT harder to master use, can breastfeed , MANY carrying positions)
b. Pre-sewn, but strap adjustable (works like MIM sarong sling/ easier to manage and can adjust shoulder portion to get better fit, but cannot breastfeed as there is no flap)
c. Pre-sewn pouch sling e.g. Pupsik (fits your height/weight, not easily shareable but v easy to use)
POUCH/STRUCTURED CARRIER
e.g. Ergo, Bjorn, Beco
ERgo is what I love! But cannot use for bbs below 4mths. I breastfeed and shop and travelled with Ergo a lot. Plus, it's so easy and comfy my hubby and parents use it too.
Some like Bjorn, Manduca (not sure if i got spelling right) can use once hit certain weight.
With these, the differences are mainly in design and carrying position.
GAIA
Call the company to check? I only bought the massage oil. Found that a bit sticky too. And not quite sure if it is as organic and pure as it claims cos if it really contained pure essential oil, my SIL says cannot be in plastic container cos will melt. However the massage oil from Gaia is in plastic bottle.
BREAST MILK
tigerlily : i discard if the milk is in bottle used for feed. HOWEVER, i read online and there are some sites tt say u can store back in fridge and use for next feeding. I don't dare risk it though.

sarahmay,
milk tray - like ice cube tray. you freeze the ebm into ice cube form then restore them in bags and put them back into freezer. you only take out the amout of cubes required to thaw.

Breast Milk: I would discard it and use it to do mini treatment on my hands; as my face is invaded with pimples so i use it on my hands. My mom would use it on her face and it does look different aftr effect. It has a bit of firming effect and "whitening effect" as my mom claims [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] so why throw it. However i know what u meant when u want to keep in again to feed but as they say that it is "contaminated" if it is use for feeding if u put it back to the fridge. however it is fine if it is in room temperatutel but i would still discard it after one hour once my bb touch the teats of that bottle to play safe.
Carrier: If anyone is getting, let me know and maybe we buy 2 together can get discount? [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] I am looking out also for one; a sling and a western carrier.
OP > I tot desitine Purple colour is stronger than the Blue Colour one. Hmm.. Maybe u can consider California Baby products. am using the calendula cream and it seems to work for any redness thing i see on my baby body.
