Oh I think I may have VSOP from my hubby's collection. Ask him to dig out so can save some $ and the VSOP can come into some good use instead of collecting dust in the cupboard.
Wah I cant bear to think about the utility charges since there will be extra headcount in the house. I think my dad will faint when he sees the bill although we are the ones who paid for it.

green papaya & fish bone soup
- boil a medium size pot of water
- add Ginger to reduce fishy smell
- add fish n boil for 1/2 hr
- remove skin n seedsof papaya. Cut into chunk
- add papaya to the soup n boil for 15 mins onli. Do not over boil
- can add red dates for additional sweetness. (Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believe red dates provide "heatiness" which balances the "cooling" effects of the green papaya.
Can oso try pork ribs with black bean soup n steamed tofu with egg and minced chicken which is rich in protein n protein is gd for promoting lactatio

yeah Piggy will bath once a day and that is the time that I will treasure the most lor... ha ha to think we treat bathing as a common thing now and by then it will be a luxury.
Pearly for hair since I cut it short I will wash alternate days. Cannot dont wash because I have oily scalp... Once washed already need to use hair dryer to dry the hair. I have gotten the confinement shampoo and the body wash and the erbal pack, I think should be quite ok...
Fung Fung if you want can buy 1 pair to try first and if it works for you can buy more nursing bras. I bought 3 the other time because I need that as my existing bra was a little tight so might as well buy nursing bra. Anyway it is more or less the same as normal wireless bra except that it has a flap.

That time elmo helped us to order. It is from Little dreamers (www.littledreamers.com.sg) I also gotten the body wash and the healing bottom spray too.
But I know some ladies would think that the shampoo and the bosy wash is not necessary since there is the herbal pack.
There is 1 more kind of body wash and shampoo check this out

pork ribs with black beans soup
pork rib - 500g scald in hot water to remove the blood
black bean - 1 cup
peanuts - 1 cup
salt
- soak black bean n peanuts for a few hr
- boil a med size pot of water
- put pork rib in to boil for 1/2hr
- add black bean n peanut. Boil till beans, nuts n meat r soft

the recipes I took frm book call Successful Breastfeedin by sister kang frm Mt A.
Another way I heard to increase supply is to take raw fenugreek. Which they say is much better than takin in tablet form. But I dare not take keke

it's to apply after wash, just on the scalp won't make hair smelly. won't feel hot lah. hehe it's good for us
someone mention we can only eat wine tonic foods after 12 days? So is it include the rice wine cooked food?
bcoz this time is my mum do for me and she not so expert. I cant really remember last time how my CL did
