Hello,
I'm from Sep 2011 thread and I have a good CL that I will like to recommend to all mummies. Siew Ling jie was the CL for my 2 SILs and they sang praises of her which was the reason why I decided to engage her.
On the first day she arrived, she revamp my kitchen and create a very neat system for keeping the milk bottles and my breast pump equipment. She is also very encouraging and supportive of breastfeeding. The first 4 days, my breast milk has not kick in yet and I was feeling very stressed and down. She boiled papaya soups and always remind me to drink lots of red dates tea to help with the milk production. During that period, she gave me alot of encouragement on breastfeeding. She is very alert especially for night duty of taking care of baby. The moment my baby starts to go eh eh, she is already up and heating up ebm to feed him.
After being discharged from hospital and that 1st week of back home and trying to adjust to be a mum, Siew Ling jie is really a godsend helper and teaching me alot of things about taking care of baby, learning how to differentiate the various tones of my baby's cries which means different needs of my baby.
She is also a very good cook and takes care of me very well. She always whip up interesting dishes cooked in different ways. Check out some of the dishes she has cooked for me so far.
She is very hardworking and even cleans those hard to reach corners in my kitchen and does the household chores fast and efficient.
Overall, she is really a good CL and I will highly recommend her to all mummies. I will definitely engage her again when I have my 2nd child.
Her contact is:
Singapore HP - 81195431 (contactable when she is working in SG)
Malaysia HP - +60137067061 / +60127609538 (contactable when she is in Malaysia). Do tell her you are recommended by Meiyu. She usually will give higher priority to those who are recommended by mummies who engaged her before. Do book her early for your confinement as she get booked pretty fast!

zhuzhu: wah..how many old panties you throw??!! normally how many days will be that heavy?? I wonder how much maternity pad i need to buy..coz my friend gave me some of her leftovers..
poseidon gal: duno how many panties i throw leh..
i think like every day throw 1 or 2 panties..no need to get too many maternity pad..get those long overnite pads will be good enuff..cos maternity pad like kotex needs to tie one..unless u know how to do it..if not get those like 35cm or so overnite pads will be good enuff..then get some bed padding from like guardian or NTUC unity..in case u stain the bed..

lebebe: my steriliser is a hand-me-down. It's convenient compared to boiling water using the traditional way. Both are fine. During anenatal class, Mrs Wong will teach you the traditional method as well.
poseido: LG playmat is better than Parklon. LG itself has a few series. Prime, Asobang and think now they have 1 more new series. The difference is the size & thickness of the mat. Currently i'm using Asobang, 18mm thick. When u put something heavy on it, the mat will "bounce" back very fast, Prime which is abt 15mm thick, takes a longer time to recover but both are equally gd.
I bought mine from the SMH BP. Prices went up again.
hkbaby: Desitin should be easy available in shops like Target, Walmart. No need to stock up too much. 1 tube last me for a year. Only need to apply a thin layer.

But maternity pads are much thicker.
liquidskye: maternity pads are available in NTUCs. You can also find them in kiddypalace and dept stores like Metro (in bb sections). Other brands are Pureen, etc

Moscato - tks for the reply. Can California bb b found at target n walmart too? But dun know if he has time n can get easy access to these super mart while there.. If not have to order thru amazon.. I like palmers bb bottom balm too! Smells nice n work well! Also similar price to desitin creamy.
jingles: good idea to use old shorts..in this way..u save the trouble of washing..and also can decluttered ur waredrobe..
I tot kotex only had the tie maternity pad.. cos i remember the one given by the hospital is tie kind..
hkbaby: u might wan to double check the pricing for california bb in target n walmart..might not necessary be cheaper there..

yup yup, i got mine from Target.
Can be found in Toy R Us too.
But you can surf the website to see if he can find the particular pdt from that outlet. If order from amazon, might be cheaper but u have to order in more, like 6 in a pack. Maybe the mummies can share?

same here....some of my friends advise not to take ML too early as once stop work, will tend to work less. More walking encourage easier labour....that is for natural delivery la.
ya...seems like i cant eat too big meals too...got to eat small ones..seems like reverting back to 1st trim.

go shopping when ML starts lor..that's what happened to me for #1. Went shopping on the 1st day of my ML (i was clearing leave so went on leave early), i went into labour that night..LOL
Helo Mommies, monday blues huh! I'm stuck in a training for 3 days...super sleepy and have lesser chance to chat but I'm reading all your posts!
Seems like some of us getting the heartburn and indigestion already. For me...i keep getting gastric pain whenever i take honey with lemon (warm) duno why also! Are we allowed to take that in the first place? The gastric pain is so painful and only by drinking warm water it will help ease the pain alittle!
Going for my check-up later....gng to ask Doc to prescribe something...or else I also duno what to take to ease the pain!
As for doing housework...i still wash clothes occassionally but getting more tired easily so cannot do too much or else I will get this very bad ache around the pelvic area. Hubby will do the rest of the tougher work like mopping floor and ironing.
Do you mummies experience pelvic pain when u walk too much? I think I went out too long on Sat....at nite came back home...the pain was horrible and i cannot even move! Sigh....i think cos our tummy is getting bigger and heavier...time for us to rest more!

Welcome Catherine 
So you went to babies bellies as well. My appt is this Sat..so looking forward to it! Hmm..another good review...great! So you sign up the post-natal le? Heard they will be having promo during the baby fair on 21 Oct, the sales folks nber inform you?
As for cloth diapers, yes one of the brands is bumwear, not too sure the cost, but there are other brands such as babykicks, moo moo kow and one more new brand that is in the market. I saw from the motherhood mag tis mth but i forgot the brand le, that one cost $25/pc. But i realise that the material of the inserts seem to be different, babykicks and moo moo kow uses hemp whereas some others use fleece. So i guess the price difference is due to the quality of the insert. Seem like hemp material is better...may consider getting the moo moo kow one during the baby fair cos that their package comes with 2 inserts. Babykicks only provide 1 insert and i manage to purchase it for $25/set during a promo online. I saw one really cheap one from gmarket, but I dun really trust the material, cos I think it is only selling at $9/set if i'm not wrong!
ML...i think i will take one week before my EDD, tat is if I can tahan till then! Not yet tell my new boss yet...cos he just came in a 3 days...better dun bug him first! hehe
