bbgoh

just wash watever u can on ur hand first lor. when e rest cme ovr, then u wash it lor. i tink i need 2 get more towels too. as i tink i only have 2 pcs leftover frm my gal which i didnt use lor. tink not enough. For mattress cover n pillow cover, i also havent wash, tink tat 1 i will only wash ard wk 37 etc as confinement i will be at my mum hse. only full month thn will be back 2 my own hse. i yesterday just went 2 e storeroom n took out e "parts" that it meant 2 convert e playpen into a bassinet. n cleared all my gal toys that r in e playpen. my gal was looking confused how come i cleared out her toys frm e playpen n put into a laundry basket instead! then when she saw that e bassinet is set up, she said she wanna sit in in. took her bolster n ask me 2 carry her 2 e bassinet! omg! cant stand her.



all e while, my hubby dnt do housewk 1. even when i was preg wit my #1, be4 i go n give birth, i still changed e bedsheet, wash all e clothes 4 him be4 i go off!

 


Me back from lunch liao outside weather is scorching hot.



Mrs Chua you ok I think call your gynae and ask first.... at least you will be assured.



Ha ha I just ordered another customized romper for my bunny gal this time I ordered 6-12 months ... should be big and can last for awhile before she outgrown

 
i had e sling but also very stupid, dnt know how 2 use it! i got 1 brand new which i got it when i signed up for Young Parents magazine. tink i will still not use it tis tim rd. tink i will still use enormal type of carrier.

 
Dear mummies,

does anyone heard of this brand "Tommee Tippee"? is this brand good? coz over the weekend while shopping for baby stuff, we saw mothercare got promotion on this brand.

Bottle steriliser + bottle warmer + other small items cost S$169. (the bottle steriliser alone cost S$135 and bottle warmer cost $59.90)

 
bbgoh,

ya lo hang on the stroller cos i cant carry him for long mah if he dun sit stroller how to handle [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

hmm i dun like sling wor i find hot use stroller at least can hang all the bag on it..



Fung2,

hmm i use be4 i dun like.. so up to u wor.. some mummies like it but for me i find v hard to feed..

 
sharlin

haha is it? i tot only me stupid dunno how to use :p

yah i used more carrier (ergo) but if got sling ll be better to feed while walking ard and not so bulky somemore ergo carrier only can be use after ard 4mth old bah.



i also only left 2 new towel at home, need more as ll put her at ifc care better just prepare everythg b4 pop, in case after born ll be more busy to go shopping brg 2 kids

 
piggy,

u mean u use before their bottle? what about their steriliser and bottle warmer? my hubby when look at their bottle, he said look like good quality, better than those other bottle like avent and etc. and Tommee bottle got one advantage whereby when baby finish their milk and they keep sucking their bottle, they won't suck air into their body due to the bottle design...

 
Fungfung,

this is wat they claim la i find the teats too soft v diff to feed anyway market many brand also say anti colic mah.. for steriliser i use pigeon which i find gd enough..

it really depend on u n bb la.. cos u mus see if the bb like the teat anot..

 
bbgoh

ya, u not e only mummy who dnt know how 2 use! but as recommended by piggy, i also prefer stroller as using sling n carrier, i find it's very hot & warm.

 
Hi mummies,



Back from lunch...



Mrs Chua,

When you wipe did you have blood?? Actually 3rd trimester bleeding can be quite dangerous.. best to call gynae.. Did the gynae tell you anything about your placenta?? Like low-lying? Cos low-lying placenta can cause bleeding during this time..



bbgoh,

Me too.. I very stupid.. Don't know how to use the MIM sling.. Hehe!! So i used the bjorn in the end..

Ya nowadays when I bathe my girl.. I feel like I have ran a marathon.. Sometimes I feel like my body is going to collapse man..



piggy,

Ya, my BH are quite intense now leh.. can be super uncomfortable.. A few times a day..

 
bbgoh,



I've used MIM sling esp when baby is small and I'm on TBF, it is useful. Maybe you can borrow to try out again, use a dummy baby to aid. The trick is in folding the cloth round the 'ring' beforehand correctly. If you can get that right beforehand, it makes it easy to adjust/re-adjust when baby is in there physically. Also, use your gut feel, when you sling, you'd feel if the position is okay or not, as long as you feel secure, should b okay.

 
Gerry my BH always happen at night especially after dinner.



My father scolded me for eating too much... nowadays I feel that BH is more and more frequent liao

 
viv

u mean u got Braxton Hxxx ? how is it feel like?



jojo

Gerry,

i hate it when BH kick in when i was walkin v v uncomfortable... n it happen many time a day [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]



Fungfung,

hmm i tink at least buy a reliable brand bah.. like i say pigeon is gd enough... my 1 had been ard almost 2 yr liao n it can fit all bottles n it cheaper..

 
bbgoh,



Hmm, how about going to the baby fair and try out first? I actually had phobia of using it initially, so I actually went to a friend's house, bring along the sling and she showed me how to use it and I followed her once before using it on the baby. But i do know it's not easy initially and some mothers buy it but did not use them at all. Alternatively, you can use those pouches type that do not have excessive 'cloth', just put the baby inside? I have not use those but I suspect those cannot be used for too long cos they look small(the pouch that is)???

 
vivi, piggy,



Ya for me it happens most often when I change from siting to standing.. and then it gets super uncomfortable.. I don't think it is from overeatin lah.. but some book said that it could be due to dehydration..

Aiyoh.. this #2 pregnancy is really killing my body.. feel like an old lady.. Most nights when I wake up, I feel like my body is not well rested.. still achy.. =(

 
Gerry

agree..i feel better when sleeping in the afternoon..but night time is really super tiring with the peeing marathon..my last drink is around 8 plus and i can have urine at 6plus AM the next day where before that i already went like 5-6times of toilet

 
Erm bbgoh you will feel tummy suddenly like very hard no pain...



Gerry me drink a lot of water wor and when I drink a lot of water with the BH power .... the back will also be aching lor...

Hi mummies,



Elmo: I remembered your boy is around the same age as my girl. Its good that your boy likes the Chinese med but Chinese med is milder so will take longer to cure. Important thing is that he does not have fever and no wheezing when he breathes. If so, best to go back to the western doc. I tell you.. feeding my gal medicine is such a headache that I have resulted in giving it with ice (don’t know why children love ice.. maybe like ice cream) or even mixing with ice cream. I tried to mix it with ribena or even yakult. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. Headache! But just have to be creative each time to get her to eat her medication. Btw, if coughing, don’t give yakult. I was told it induces cough.



Can I check.. do we need to buy laundry softener for new borns? I bought the kodomo washing liquid and saw the softerners for new borns.



2nd time mummies: Are you going to buy new bathing towels for your #2? I have a few from my #1 but they are like about 3-4 years old. Not sure if I should buy new ones for #2.



Jtho: I also have not tested all my sterilizer, breast pump, wash my pajamas etc…. I only managed to organize my #1 cupboard to make space for #2. and I bought the things i wanted.. totally forgot about washing and testing my existing items. argh panic panic. Ok, I will pack my hospital bag this weekend.

Thanks mummies.. good. Don’t have to spend $ on softeners! Now I have one more thing to add to my list… baby towels.



Jtho: Yah.. I’m so SLOWWW in getting all the things ready. Cause half the time got to manage #1 while trying to prepare for #2.. end up dilly dally and to think I wanted to go full-steam ahead after CNY but now.. I think I am only half done.. at work, I also I wanted to start on my handover manual/list but still solving crisis/BAU things.. no time to do my handover list. Must start soon cause I sure don’t want to be disturbed when I am on ML.



Aiyoh! I keep yawning at work.. and its only Monday!
