audrey, i used to have that same perception, like bringing a dog out but i guess if it is at the right place, there is no wrong to it. if used in SG, e.g. Vivo where it is relatively safe and ample space for kids to run, i never will use. I always let Zach run n run while i run behind him asking him to slow down..

toking abt leash, initially i oso feel find dat e kids r poor thing to be put on leash... i will try not to use on my kid too, but see 1st... if my kid is super active, i might consider... My ex-coll has a v active boy who runs v fast at 1yr+... It's so scary so he would just run towards glass panels n racks... The leash helps her alot in controlling e kid...
Jabet: Some food smells er xin to me too. Sometimes if i dun like certain poultry, i'll tell dh dat "chicken/pig nvr bathe, got smell, give u"... my poor dh will hv to eat it.. haha...

crayon mami,
b4 i had my kid, i find the leash very "cruel" but hor, for the kid's safety, could be useful.
now, i can only hold my son's hand tight to prevent him from running ard.
he can be really rough and purposely sit on the floor n i need to pull him at the wrist. may injure him but this is the only way i know.

re MIL, modisch do u know i got so angry over ur dh that i told my dh abt it? sorry ah, just gotta get it out. my dh oso shocked how come can treat his own wife and kid like tat. the best part is the steering wheels... he laughs like mad when i told him how ur dh whine, throw keys at u and how u managed to get it settled by few secs... and he rreally 'pei fu' you as a woman... kudos to modisch!

morning mummies!
Crayon: hahah the never bath part is funny. I shall try it tonight.
Modisch: Great.. last week was tips on buying baby cot.. This week is stroller.. Why do pple choose 3 wheels over 4 wheels? any differences? and wat do we have to take note for strollers eg. safety features, angle of plank for baby to sleep on.. wat kind of strollers are suitable to use from baby to 3yr old kind? Strollers are so ex I dont want to keep changing... And my fren told me Traveller Plus is good, comes with detachable car seat.. Worth buying?
And the other time some mummies mentioned popcorn/bubble bursting = bb hiccup, then fluttering sensation = butterfly/bees flapping the wings very fast? I felt it for the past 2 days but I dunno if I am jus cramping or wat hahaha

crystal,
YES! I can't stand my hb's perfume too! Really can puke. To think i like it previously too. Now it's slightly better but if it's too strong, i'll still gag. My neighbour uses particular brand of detergent for washing clothes too that I cant stand. So whenever it's laundry time, I'll hide elsewhere in the house far away from the kitchen area. I had to change the brand of handsoap in my house too as I couldn't stand lifebuoy. So funny...all these nice smells and we find it disgusting!

crystal,
yeah...u will slowly be able to tolerate the smells. Still don't like it but able to tolerate pretty much. My hb also like your hb. Will spray his perfume when I'm not around but I can def still smell it on him when he returns. There's no way to conceal that. I can't even stand his alcohol breath if he goes out for a drink with his friends. So will end up sleeping in separate room. He says I very drama and those my nose is worse than a dog's.
All those ladies hitting 16 weeks, get ready for the ballooning. That's when it happened to me. Not just belly but bust and bustline. It's like one second ok, the next i couldnt breathe in my bra.

didn't have time to post yesterday and looks like the DH/ MIL storm has passed (for now). hope everyone will get their problems sorted out soon! on to happier things...
re strollers, Audrey: DH and i LOVE the stokke xplory too (and in fact ALL stokke things)...very tempted to buy but the big minus (other than the price) is the size, even when folded up it's super huge and will take up alot of space in the car boot. and the salesgirl said cannot take escalator, must go into lift. DH is still in love with it but i really don't think I will be able to manage it when i'm on my own. also, my friend said the reviews are not that great so i'm trying to comfort myself that it'd be a lousy buy anyway, esp for the ridiculous price.
my friends have recommended the bugaboo bee plus, bugaboo cameleon, combi and any maclaren generally.
btw there are apparently studies that show it's good for babies to face the mother when in the stroller, and not outside, so u gals may wanna consider that too when shopping. i'm looking out for a reversible one so baby can face the outside world once in awhile too [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

SHOPPING
i had a very productive time shopping at marina square last night [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] bought some dresses and a tanktop from Maternity House (buy 2 get 1 free), a blouse from Bloomingtons (or sthing like that) and rented a pair of jeans from maternityexchange--they have a rental package, $132 for 4 items, can rent for 4 weeks each time. They also sell their clothes but I didn't wanna buy jeans yet cos dunno how big I'll be in future, and their jeans were not cheap. Just needed a pair urgently cos going to HK tomorrow and it's cold and none of my current jeans fit
Also found out that Topshop Ion and Vivocity has a maternity section, think the Ion one shld be bigger, apparently have jeans on sale.
Those going HK as well: I googled on HK maternity clothes and very excited cos H&M there has a maternity section, supposed to be cheap and nice!!! And the shops look very good too, so am aiming to buy as much maternity stuff as I can there [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
i had a very productive time shopping at marina square last night [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] bought some dresses and a tanktop from Maternity House (buy 2 get 1 free), a blouse from Bloomingtons (or sthing like that) and rented a pair of jeans from maternityexchange--they have a rental package, $132 for 4 items, can rent for 4 weeks each time. They also sell their clothes but I didn't wanna buy jeans yet cos dunno how big I'll be in future, and their jeans were not cheap. Just needed a pair urgently cos going to HK tomorrow and it's cold and none of my current jeans fit
Also found out that Topshop Ion and Vivocity has a maternity section, think the Ion one shld be bigger, apparently have jeans on sale.

Morning mummies!
Hubby snoring
I'm used to it, can sleep through it already. Sometimes it gets too loud and I'll ask him to turn the other side. Haha. He doesn't believe he snores like a washing machine that's spinning [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Perfumes
I also banned hubby from using perfume if he's going to be in the car with me. I get sick even until now.
Toddler leash
I also asked my helper to put a leash on my boy for a short while because at one point, he kept dashing (not running) and we were so afraid that he would accidentally run out onto the road. He didn't like the leash and we told him that we would keep it on as long as he kept dashing. Eventually about after a month, he learnt that running is only allowed at the playground and not along the road pavements. It was then that we took it off. But even then, got to always hold his hand and keep an eagle eye on him.
crystal: All kids are different, some are easier to handle than others, some are very stubborn (like my boy). Getting a maid to help with housework means you'll probably be less tired especially if you are working. I guess shopping is probably more enjoyable without having to worry about the baby. I remember when I was on my 2nd mth of maternity leave, I used to have my mum to help me for a couple of hours in the evening so that I can go for dinner and shopping with my hubby. But when I was back at work full time, I would take half day leave once a mth to go for facial, massage and quick shopping [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Need to relax also otherwise sure peng san.

Strollers
Just to share - I have a Combi reversible stroller that my boy used from newborn until he was about 12+kg. Very easy to handle and also light, can fold nicely and stand in a corner. It's a bit pricey, about $600 when I bought it 3 yrs ago. It starts to creak once you go beyond 10+kg actually. Later on I bought this brand - Silver Cross, from ToysRUs and I must say it is very sturdy! Using it until now and my boy is about 19kg. The wheels can still move with no problems. However this stroller is heavier in weight too.

i will slowly go read all the interesting stories later but in the meantime, re COTS (sorry can't remember who asked):
I went to Mothercare Harbourfront that day to check out their cots (most Mothercares don't have I think except for the bigger ones). They had about 8-10 cots I think.
I also googled and found these 2 websites that sell cots, strollers etc:

kimifin> same here, most of my weight goes to my stomach.although its not ballooned like a lot but at least it looks bigger in e morning.
suying> i also give $4 ang bow for those not so close. close relatives or frens' kids give $10 or $6 or $8. siblings we dun give coz all grown up and married too. Parents and MIL will give alot more too but every year changes.
crystal> yeah i agree with you on those old wives tale. tat gal, mummy's face will be rounder and boy, mummy's face will be sharper. also leg will be bigger and hairs will grow out alot much faster. so everyday i observe my features.

crystal: I think most pple buy the stroller before baby's born as may not have time/ energy to buy after giving birth...plus in case you want to bring the baby out in the meantime [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
make sure the stroller is suitable for an infant ie must have neck support--I think they have to lie flat at that age, and the stroller seat changes in inclination as the baby grows older.
baby carrier: u referring to the baby bjorn i think? the other good brand is supposed to be ergo, if not wrong.
