oh ya i also used medela bottles cause my pump is medela pump. but they don't have wide-necked bottles like pigeons though so i use the medela ones more for storage...
i agree with milo, can just use the normal pads for very heavy flow, the night time kind where it's longer and more absorbent.

Bbribena, me too!! My sleeping habit was on my left but now sleeping on my back make me to comfy...

thanks all the mummies who mentioned on the brand of bottles and baby wipes they are using. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
aumuro, your baby is so good can get used to both latching and bottle! I hope mine will be fine with both also.
i've bought 2 PJs from OG, they're good quality and don't have cartoon on them so i can wear them during my hospital stay. Mount A doesn't provide hospital gowns..
milo, strep b test is compulsory to be done if we choose natural birth issit? It's painful to do the test issit?

debbie the trick is to co feed immediately after u r back home.
My schedule was morning and noon latch on. Evening onwards bottle till dawn. Repeat cycle.
Athena,
i find that attending classes allows you to be more prepared and also it teaches you a lot of practical ways to handle the baby.
And many people including confinement lady, burp the baby the wrong way and thus induce vomitting.
These antenatal class allows parents,to know which way to burp the babies properly,how to swaddle em,to bath them,what ways to get rid of colic and different steps on exercise to do during pregnancy.
I didnt buy maternity pads,was provided by hospital the 1st 2night stay, and back home just use normal thick overnight pad. It worked well enough.

ribena, i totally agree! i feel super stressed tat time when i am abt to due. so worried if hubby not home how? no reception how? he was on night duty the night before i gave birth! heng ah, my timing zhun zhun sia. i think better get ur hub to double, triple remind!
cindy, ya lor, better check with your gynae. cos test liao still need some time for the result. if touch wood positive, still need time to treat so maybe cannot tu till so late.
debbie, strep b test is like papsmear. not really painful la but can siam some poking then siam lor. i think i have enough of blood test, poke below for the time being liao
eon, if can find my size sure got ur size la. i am lagi pui le. already at 73kg during my gynae visit 3 weeks ago. my mil still dare to laugh at me for putting on wt [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
some info on strep b:
Group B Strep is a type of bacteria that one to three women carry in their vagina. These bacteria, though benign to women in general, may pose serious and potentially life threatening consequences for your baby during birth. However, with proper screening women who test positive will be treated with an antibiotic during labor to prevent passing these bacteria on to their baby.

Athena, hi i think the class is useful to me and my hubby cos we're first time parents and my hubby is most of the time busy with work and he doesn't have time to read up articles online about baby care, so this is his only chance to attend a lesson together with me on how to care for baby and mother etc. It's a informative lesson for me and i enjoy it cos it makes me and my hubby more prepared for taking care of a baby. The teacher is well-trained so you can be assured that what she tells you there is true and not like those old wives tales etc. Can help you bond also with baby and hubby! It's not a must to go, just sign up for it if you're keen.
My course itself starts at 7pm so it's super rushed for me and my hubby too. But no choice, short term, rush for 6 weeks. I enjoy my class conducted by TMC but i dunno about how the other classes at other hospitals are like. If you want weekend classes, maybe you can look into classes by Mt A or TMC?
Aumuro, woah thanks for the tip!! i will definitely try to latch on during the mornings and then bottle in the late afternoon onwards. Because i will need to attend afternoon classes to upgrade myself during the later part of the afternoon from 3pm to 6pm so i was rather worried that if i latch on only at the start, my baby may not want drink from bottle, then my MIL will have hard time helping me take care of baby during the late afternoon. thanks for the tip! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
milo, oh ic, thanks for the info! i have had enough of jabs and blood tests also. lol.

debbie, ur hubby is so cute! but he is so so right lor. when i say i put on so much wt, my gynae laugh and ask if i am expecting to lose wt now!
happyhippo, the disposable panties is for the one mth confinement. after delivery, we will have lochia which is like menses but heavier flow. since we cant touch water and not nice to get CL or hub to wash our panties if stained, so disposable is the best option.
as for open front pj, its to help us with breastfeeding. easier mah else if t-shirt means u gotta remove the whole tee to feed.

dewdew, i think must feed a bit of water... My SIL's friend totally never feed water to the baby at all due to so called "water content in breastmilk", the baby's poo was so hard like stone! So must feed a bit of water.. Because in singapore, our weather very hot.. baby need water.
Milo, haha ya my hubby made me laugh when he said that. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] to me, mother who put on weight during pregnancy is totally ok! we don't have to take other people's comments to heart ya.. No matter how much weight we put on, we can lose it after giving birth with some determination. Just a matter of how long we take to lose the weight only.

EonEon, not u put on a lot of weight.. Just bcos i'm very forgetful recently. Can easily forget the thing that i have done 10 mins ago..
Haha.. I always ask my husband if i have lock the door or not eventhough i have done it only 10 mins ago... then my husband said i should sleep at the living room, so i can easily check if the door is locked..
I'm thinking to get the 2 weeks HL from Gynae before my EDD..

Debbie, baby do nt need water during the 1st month until 2 or 3 months old...breastmilk will provide the nutrients, formular milk dilute the powder to make it less thicker
Eoneon, real person not as nice as photos.. so cannot recognise hahaha...
I didn't put on that much kg but I look so much bigger! Ahhhh so be happy u girls still look slim though u gain quite a few pounds. Better than never gain much yet physically look like gain a lot hehe

cindy, i plan to use amuro's suggestion and do both latch on and bottle once i go back home. only i will switch, bottle feed in the noon & evening, latch on in morning and middle of the night. this way baby might become accustom to the day and night feeding (since my mum will be helping with feeding in the day after ML).
debbie, the no-water instruction was told by my SIL's paediatrician, so until now my nephew hasn't had any water (already 3mths+). maybe different paeds have different practices.

The high tea at fairmont, are we talking about plaza market cafe offering mexican high tea?!
I am ok with both hyatt and fairmont since both are still accessible.
cindy, unless you plan to cofeed with formula, our breastmilk is diluted enough so, newborn need notwater until around 5mths.I only introduce water to my daughter when she started semi solid at 6mths old.

milo66, I always feel back and neck aching during working, which really make me can't concetrate on my work at all. And i'm going on the nature birth, afraid the baby would wanna come out anytime especially during the working hours.. So my husband will check with Gynae if she can gave me 2 weeks HL before my EDD..
