Hi Mummies,
Please try to take things slow and keep to a slower pace. I am trying hard to remind myself of that every day because I am so used to walking quickly.
Re: Cord Blood Banking
Haven't really attended any talks on this, but my friend told me that it is a "nice to have" or "just in case" kind of thing, so if have the extra cash to bank the cord blood, then don't think so much, can just do it.
Re: Breastfeeding
I bf my #1 till she was >1 yr old, but maybe cos my milk was not that good also, she is not that resistant to illness. I have friends who bf their kids, and their kids REALLY, seldom fall sick. But unfortunately, I did not get to "enjoy" that benefit. But bf really is convenient, once you get the hang of it.. I mean, keep yourself hydrated, and you are a walking cow! No need to bring hot water, bring formula, bring cool water... no need to wash so many things also. Of course, different people have different opinions. I have some friends who choose not to bf, and their kids turn out fine too!
Ting, so nice to be able to see 4D scan of your baby!!!!
