Starfruit, I was chatting w my mum that I want to ask my 1st sil if she know anyone doing pt cleaning, as she is a housewife n stay ard kovan, then my mum ask me if I want her to clean for me since we stay near, if she dun want then I will ask my 2nd sil who is doing pt cleaning jobs but at eunos as she stay there..I was checking if u looking for, if u looking for, let me try them out before letting u know.
Evie: envy u Bb can start to sleep through til morning. That's v good!
Moomum: I have not tried pig trotters yet, maybe I ask my CL to cook to boost milk supply.
Xuanmin: how much are the polyclinic charges? I called 2 pds. One is $ 460 w consultation n another is $530 w no consultation for 6 in 1.
Cloud: my #1 sleeps on sarong coz he don't sleep well on Bb cot. When he older he will try to climb out of sarong himself so can be quite dangerous for an infant. My #2 I hope we just use the cot only.

Dear Mummies,
Being a 1st time mummy and my child is around 5+weeks kind of lost as in whether to take my child to a PD for Immunisation or Polyclinic...
As for Polyclinic I realised that Hougang and Sengkang is under different group.. Any difference in pricing/service.
Kindly advise...Thanks

starfruit - seems like the nursing top all look alike [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] I wanna get some nice prints instead of all solids. Find excuse to go shopping this weekends 
June - supposingly renovation must be done within office hrs eg 9am to 5pm, any drilling & knocking after that u can lodge a complain to town council.
I hv furniture dragging sounds..very irritating. My upstairs ppl sometimes drop coins late at nite or midnite..

Ash: Hope yr bb gets better le...take care!
Re: immunisation

Angie - Yes, keep the invoice code for gymbucks redemption. Gymbo quality is better compared to Carters but limited design for boy. I usually spree for my girl..hehe
starfruit - u also seeing Terence Tan? I managed to get appt for Aug 5in1 jab & rotavirus. The waiting time is killing us but my hb likes his prof so still stick to him.
Nursing tops from bp, if those fr taiwan r quite big ler..I bought 1, don't like the material & too loose.

Mummies,
How is the waiting time at polyclinic jab?
Sarong: sigh.. The problem is my mil will be taking care for me when u return work, so even if I insist on no sarong, than when I return work, sure will end up in sarong.. And my #1 & #2, they're sleeping in sarong too... Sigh.
Angie: where to get gymboree?

Ello!
Just caught up on the earlier posts. =)
Sarong: I put #1 in sarong after 1 month coz she didn't sleep at night unless she was carried. I was super tired from not having enough sleep and so decided to "install" a sarong at home. I find that she does sleep more in it but the problem is when we go out. When she was smaller, i would sling her and rock her like in the sarong. But she's now 2 years old and built like a rock so cannot do that anymore. I have to make sure she's home or somewhere with sarong at naptime. I did manage to wean her off it at night so she's now on the mattress. I know that my sil's kid can sleep anywhere even though he also slept in sarong since young. So i guess the thing abt not being able to sleep anywhere else varies with baby ba...
Breastfeeding tops: I'm also on the lookout for plus size tops. I had a few pieces from maternalove that was from #1 but i cannot fit into them without looking gross. Haiz... Sianz...
Cluster feeding: For those mummies going slightly mad with baby feeding continuously for a few hours, i find these websites to be helpful as they explain why babies so.
http://www.kellymom.com/babyconcerns/fussy-evening.html
http://www.babyzone.com/askanexpert/understanding-cluster-feeding
My confinement nanny also told me my milk not enough and kept asking me to give her from my milk store(pumped out when my bb was 1 week old since i had more than what she needed then) and there were times when i let her. She even suggested milk powder but i persisted and didn't supplement. When confinement nanny left, i kept feeding like what the websites suggested and i noted that she would settle down after the cluster feeding sessions and sleep for 4-5 hours straight. Her highest record is 7 hours of sleep. Haha... it's like bitter first then sweetness coz i needed the continuous sleep. =) hth!

Sarong: my #1 & 2 also slp sarong when young #1 can't slp anywhere when we are out need to be home during his slp time if not he will throw temper, #2 on the other hand can slp anywhere and fall asleep easy even without sarong so I agree with Hanna is really depend on individual kids.. Now my #3 on partial sarong and cot day time cot night time sarong my mum felt that sarong she slp better

Auroa: Must tell you something funny... I latched my bb for about 2+ hours just now and my nipple was a little sore, so i thought to express out some milk to soothe it. To my surprise, the milk actually shot out when i pressed on my breast. I was pretty amazed and this convinced me that the milk will never be completely drained even though she's been feeding on them almost continously. Treasure the rest at night! It's a lifesaver for me... =)

I will only be doing the hep b 2nd dose this thurs. I called the polyclinic and they told me to go on thurs to book the package, so I still dunno te price yet, but according to the national healthcare website, 6-in-1 vaccine is $360 and 5-in-1 is $320. Should be the updated price. Pneumoccocal is $160 per does for 3 doses, can claim up to $300 from medisave for pnemoccocal vaccines up to one calendar year per parent. That is what the lady told me in the phone. Hope this helps.
Re: dr terence tan
My #1 was under him since born frm TMC but i only went ot his clinic once for review and it was such a long wait for only 5 mins and consultation fees is $80. So I dropped the idea and went to Dr Irene chan from ikids at paragon. She's really very good and detailed with babies. #2 is also with her, she's very reassuring.
Hannah
Yup, I had the same experience toonafter she has latched for a long time. When I press on the nipple area, even squirt my gal's face. That's a "milky shower" for her keke...

Angie,
Where r u staying? I had my first dinner trial on kim's kitchen. The dishes r pretty alright except for the soup. Taste bland. Will trial on others after I finish the 5 days trial. Think I will continue using tingkat till my gal is older else no time to cook. Find it v convenient actually.

Jerejoy, y not u opt out the soup & boil your own. Can do it over crock pot or thermal cooker..quite easy & more nutricient [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] I'm doing that actually coz I prefer home cook soup.
cloudpoem - my bb is 1 mth 1 day old today. sh started to have this routine last week.
littlefly - dun envy..it takes time to "train" the bb. i have my share of terrible nights too. but now, even if she wants sleep through the night, i will wake her up every 4 hrs for feeding and put her back to cot immediately.

Apple, hubby wants to ease my load. He doesn't want me to cook now so that I can fully concentrate on taking care n coaching them. At least can save time in grocery shopping too. Quite hard to shop with two kids ard. So just close one eye first for now
Angie, in that case, maybe hv to try neo garden. How abt select? Heard nt bad reviews too.

My friend was on kim's kitchen previously n she has praises for it. Will call them later n chk if they deliver to my area then cater frm them for lunch. As for dinner got to cont sourcing for caterer.
Starfruit,
Ya, I will chk with the person if they can just shave or trim enuff for the brush.

Hi mummies,
I am still having difficulties establishing my milk flow. It's already day 11 for me. When I pump, I still get only abt 20-25 ml combined each time. I have tried all solutions- papaya soup, domperidone, fenugreek, red date& longan. Even drank Dom to help in circulation.
Any good advice on how else I can improve?
I was reading the archived threads and really envious of some of u who have no such problems.
Auroa- I read in the previous thread that u used to have such problems. What u posted was a real encouragement for me when I read that u persevere despite ur cl and inlaws remarks. Care to share with me how u do that?
