Val: oh dear, hope you feel better soon! We visited thomasland in Tokyo when my boy was 2. He couldn't get on several rides cos of height requirements. Nonetheless, he had a lot of fun. When we visited thomasland in UK, he was 3. He enjoyed it a lot more as he could ride on most of the attractions.

 

[sunflower0121]

Hi mummies, can BM be mixed? I have 3 bottles of different timing n only 10ml each.. Can i mix these 3 bottles den warm it up? My gal admitted tdy so wld wan to pass this to bring it dwn to tmc..

 

[iijo]

Val, can you help to update the table with my details.



Gynae: Dr Esther Ng

BB #: 2

BB Gender: Girl

EDD: 29 May 2011

Hospital: Mt A

FTWM

Location: East



Thanks!

 

[iijo]

sunflower0121, when I had my first one, I actually mix the bm together then heat up. So shld be no problem.

 

[bunny_mum]

Kay Kay, u so fast! I went to c gynae for appt this morning. Did ctg n ve. VE so pain! Gynae said she prefer us on epidural so lesser pain on us but which is more painful? Epi needle poking or ve?



My contraction irregular so wait for few more days..



You Jia you!!

 

[sunflower0121]

@jo: thanks [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] how do you gauge the warmness? need to put the bottl in boiling water? or the flask water?

 

[iijo]

sunflower0121, actually i was using the pigeon bottle warmer. So it's automatic. believe boiling water may not be a good idea as it will be too hot and may 'kill' the nutrients.

 

[closetdoor]

Hi Val,

Pls update my details too:

1. Kiko (closetdoor)

2. Prof Han HC

3. #2

4. Girl

5. 17-May-11

6. KKH

7. FTWM

8. Bt Batok



Thanks!

 

[closetdoor]

Hi Sunflower,

Yes, ok to mix BM. I was thinking of buy the milk tray to store the BM.



I also prefer to use warmer. If you immerse in boiling water, have to keep changing water and have to take note to not overheat the BM. Think temp (for BM) cannot exceed 40 deg or else will kill off the nutrients.

 

[greenapple]

Home sweet home finally [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Val - if not mistaken Nepia has urine indicator too, and their price quite reasonable. Am gonna place order for a carton on Mon for size S. Sigh..talking about my maid, she is damn useless! Got screw by me this morning before discharged. I asked her to pack bb going home clothes after iron the new washed set together with receiving blanket, hanky & mittens. Guest what?? No receiving blanket this morning when I wanna take out to bring to nurse. I have reminded her to double check before I admit & even ask her to counter check the day before she brings to hospital. So I make her take can go home & get and take can back to hospital again..she bare $50 cab fares. Teach her a lesson!!



CloudPoem, bb D jaundice level tested 7.7 this morning..phew

Expected my super ex bill. Total close to $13k before medisave.

 

[kaylen]

Just on epidural~ totally numbness 0% pain... Can slp sial...
