Stroller
I bought it before my boy was born and I am glad I did that as he has jaundice after birth so required to bring him down to sun every morning. My hubby and I used the stroller to push him down, put him under the sun before stripping him.
And I am not sure if it's true or not. Last time people told me baby need to get used to stroller early or else he/she won't like to sit on it when older. So I started using it after confinement, pushing it down for a walk.

re: laundry
i wash my gal's clothes separately from ours but using the same washing machine. whether powder or detergent depends on the type of washing machine you have? i have been using tollyjoy powder for my front-load machine and no issues so far though i have heard good reviews of pureen ABD powder.</font>

Wow jul 1k is alot but looking at the items you bought can easily chalk up to That. I just came back frm taka fair. My bath tub I bought was missing the sling and had to go back collect.
We chalk up 600plus on sunday but our big ticket item was the baby cot.

cause our stroller only open once a week. haha..
Audrey: my relatives gave me lucky baby stroller. but my son from ManYue day already dun like to lie in it. only managed to use it for a few mths as i end up carrying more often than he sitting in it.

Jul, that's a lot of stuff you bought!! Anyway, talking about nursing bras, is it too early to buy now? I was thinking of buying closer to delivery date cos breast size may still change.
Petrina, that's what I was thinking of doing... bring baby stroller shopping and let him choose. Anyway, it's his daddy who cannot let go of him not me

Mihoger, fleur
Yeah i'm trying to console myself that i bought 'necessities'. After all, dishwashing liq, bb soap, bottles, bras n wipes sure must use right? Car seat sure gotta buy also. Hahaha
Nattan
Well maybe coz this isn't #1 so i may be more sure if the size? Last round u bought 4 from tmc parentcraft at $60 lor! There's 20% at the fair. So i bought 3. I seldom see that bra on sale. Then the zaki hands is at 40% off. Medela bottles at 50%. How not to buy? Lol

I bought my nursing bras from M&S. 2pcs for $49 i think. Can't remember.
But they r having promo now. u need to check the store for more details.
I like their quality.
Then I also bought nursing spaghetti from SPRING MATERNITY. So i dun have to wear bra. Just use padding is sufficient.
Cupsize may not change. but width of chest will expand. So just try n buy now. Clip at the tightest. Will last u till it spoils. My nursing bra from 4yrs ago till now I am still wearing.

Petrina, 2 for $49 is a good deal! I'll go and check it out...
Cindy, nursing bras as just for your convenience to breastfeed, so you don't have to unhook the bra behind or front. I bought a couple but they are getting too tight. Think I bought too early that time. But fortunately they are cheap. I will probably buy in 3rd trimester when the breast size is more stabilised. Right now, I still wear my normal bras although they are quite tight and cups are like 1 size smaller. If you don't want to buy new bras cos cup size didn't increase, you can just get the extenders to accommodate the expanding bustline. Those are cheap.. about $3-4 each.

If u intend to latch to bf, nursing bra is a must for public. Maybe at home can get away with those sports bra type but djfficult to just lift up in public haha
The clothes shop - if u stand wjth the temple at your back - is at the left corner. Behind the toilet. It's the leftmost corner shop. Makes sense?

Nursing bras
Btw if this is your first bb, better to wait n buy later. For some reason tmc parentcraft swears by emma jane, the non padded type with the holes cut out pattern along the top of the cup. So i follow n buy lor. Indeed v good to use in the beginning when the boobs r getting engorged. I used my 4 until 'lan' liao. Bought 10 cheapo impression or eternity brand types just for wearijg coz i wasn't latching by then. But they get stretched out n fell apart v fast.
I bought 4 bravado bras this time round. With 7 bras i hope it's enough! Still got my very lan n dried up old emma janes to stand by in a pinch. Dunno y but i sweat a lot after delivery. Really gotta keep changing bras n tops else v stinky! Faint!

I don't usually wear bras at home, but I think I'll wear when breastfeeding next time cos there may be leakage Also, I definitely don't want droopy boobs! An alternative to bras are the bra tops from Uniqlo.. very comfy and affordable when they have sales. I bought a few to wear under sheer tops.
Petrina, you can try doing bust firming exercises at home to tone your chest muscles?

Nursing Bras
I bought some online from the forum. But I didn't like those without padding! The abrasion makes my nipples sore so I prefer some slight padding.
I have upsized by 2 cups since the 1st trim. I shudder to think how much bigger I may get. Feel like a freaking cow and I havent even started milking!! Lol.

Yah, no joke man. How Not to feel like a cow??!! My colleagues also commented and I always tell them big no use, must have milk or else it's just additional fats. I perspire a lot more between my boobs. Sigh. So who says big boobs are attractive are all men la. Only women know that big is not necessary good.

At first, I thought maybe genes so I went to "interview" my mom on her pregnancy boobs. But she said no leh.
Really? First one will upsize so dramatically? The funny thing is ppl tell me - your baby bump don't look very big... Oh wait, maybe it's your boobs that distract me and make your tummy look smaller in proportion.
What's a good

Hi mummies,
I have came across this website that sell nice maternity clothes at very affordable price. The only thing is their clothes go out of stocks very quickly. I waited for quite some time till they have new stocks and I faster grab them while stocks last. Their designs are very fashionable and I really like them a lot. Will like to recommend to you all. It's www.*********. Go and take a look

Nipple Cream
Has anyone bought this? Is it something useful for me to get just in case? Any good recs? I'm very particular abt the scent cos sinus so my nose very sensitive to certain heavy scented ones.
Stretch Mark Cream
I have been diligently applying twice a day after my shower but only on my belly. Cos the weather is so hot and apply on other areas make me sweat even more. I'm using the Galenic Elancyl brand for Guardian. Bought two bottles when it was offer. Like cant even finish first bottle. But it's easily absorbed so no complains. Anyway, if stretch marks do start to appear typically when do they start to show?
The weather is so hot today. I ended with heat rash and chaffing on my inner thighs after I came back from lunch. Sigh.
Have to apply those anti chaf thingy which i used to prevent chaffing while I was running long distance. It's going to

Ssmilezz, you only need the nipple cream when you start to breastfeed to prevent soreness and chaffing. I think Palmer's has scentless ones.
Re stretch mark, they can appear once your tummy start to show. You'll feel itchy and see reddish patches/lines. If you apply the cream regularly, it should prevent marks from appearing... I apply on my belly, butt and thighs as well cos these are places where the marks can appear also.
