Hi mummies!
RING
Finally managed to get my ring off my finger, with the help of my mum yesterday evening! So happy. I can still see the “dent” on my finger due to pressure exerted by my ring though.
Realised that it doesn’t work if I tug it off myself as I cant relax one hand while the other hand is tugging.
CLOTH DIAPERS/ BUMWEAR / MOOMOO
Thanks Belinda for the links on the cloth diapers.
But I’m overwhelmed by the info out there on cloth diapers and still confused after the reading! Didn’t know there are so many different types out there.
(a) What are the main differences between the “modern cloth diapers” (eg Bumwear /MooMoo diapers) versus the “traditional cloth diapers” (I think Tollyjoy and Pigeon brands cloth diapers fall into this category)? Would appreciate some layman’s advice please. Many thanks!
(b) Do we need special detergent to wash cloth diapers? Baby detergent should not be used?
PUMPS
Belinda: Yes, the pumps are much cheaper to be bought online. Though 1 difference is that they may not provide guarantee. I ordered avent dual pump, not from BP but on my own, pending delivery.
BABYSAFE MATTRESS
Gregda: My babysafe mattress is 28”x 52”x3” in size. Understand from the Robinsons saleslady that this is the most common size, but do check against the size of your cot to ensure that it fits as cots come in differing sizes. I can’t find my receipt, think it costs about $200 over if I didn’t remember wrongly.
BBMALL ONLINE
Eviangal: Are bbmall online stuff really good?
AH CHING
Apologies to have mistaken the kicking of your elder child with your younger one!
WISHCHILD
Same as Unicorn, good to buy the bb stuff during the Robinsons/John Little storewide sales to enjoy the savings. It’s festive season this month and there should be more sales to come!
NASHITA / KINDERBUENO
Cheer up, count down to your maternity leave ..
Nashita:
Did you attend TMC Mrs Wong’s prenatal class? I attended her 4th lesson and she did say there is some barrier cream that she recommend and would bring along on the 5th lesson. But I have since postponed my 5th lesson as I’m on bedrest and hence don’t know what cream she is recommending. Anyone bought from her?
Between Desitin and Drapolene, seems like Desitin is more popular from earlier forum threads and from my friends.
Kinderbueno: maternity pads are used after delivery due to the lochia flow, which is somewhat like a heavier version of menses flow.
