nikki: Original price for the twin pack is $24 free 1 packet of wet wipes. After 20% discount, it's $19.20, so $9.60 for 1. I'm not sure how much is it sold in the spree. I only bought 1 twin pack as I dunno if my bb is okie with it, heard some bb maybe allergic to it.
Hi August mummies to be. I'm a silent reader all these while. My second child is due end Aug.
Just a little advice. Wet wipes will dry up and desitin cream is more sticky and difficult to wash off then Drapolene. Perhaps no need to rush to buy so early. If the baby is not having bad nappy rash like my first child, Drapolene works fine and is much cheaper. There is a good and reliable online site called luvbabies Kim sang that has cheaper than shops baby products. You can google and check it out.

H: non members still get 15% discount.
teo: Hello! If the wet wipes are not open, it's unlikely they will dry up. Even if they seems a bit dry, just add distilled water to it will do. Drapolene like you say it's pretty mild so okie to use normally but good to have something stronger on hand in case of bad nappy rash. Especially on discount, just need to make sure the expiry time is still far away. The shop you recommend some are cheaper but some are around the same price, but as delivery charges applies, it may come to same ba?

Karen,
I got the buan ear type.
Indo maid
My maid scared of hangging the cloths outside now. SO she hang at the corridors. But I find new HDB should be quite safe for hanging of cloths. they should look at the type of flat and not just impose throughout. For washing of windows, I only let her clean inside. Outside told her no need to clean.

Isetan Private Sale 23 MAY One Day Only!
Spotted only Tiger Porridge and Food Jar at $45 + 10% off(U.P. $109)
Medela Freestyle at $799 still more expensive comparing to getting the US sets.
Think the Tiger Porridge and Food Jar is a good buy considering it's Tiger brand.
Good for bringing out when bb starts on semi-solids.

Thermometer: i had the ear type which is also suitable for bb. Actually mummies are the best thermometer, using a equipment is just more accurate so for those who feel the pinch to buy a specialise thermometer for bb, it's not a must. Our mothers also don use one to know if we r having a fever.
Nikki: welcome
Jen: try to get into a comfortable position and practise some relaxation techniques?

Thermometer:
i have the Braun ear thermometer, sometimes kiddy palace or guardian got sales but not with their sales n u hav to ask.
i got mine from kiddy palace n comes with warranty. last yr it went bonkers and instead of buying a new one the agent actually allows exchange/ trade in prog. so i paid $80 for a new one instead of paying another $100+ for a new one.
think a while back rykiel posted the spree/ bp for the infra red one.
diaper cream:
i use mustela. its a barrier cream n works for nappy rash as well but not as fast as desitin cos is not medicated n for daily usage is much better then drapolene (based on my own exp of using both). it cos abt 18+/ tube but each application is lesser then size of 1cent coin cos its really thick.
star,
ya lor, dunno r the maids so dumb or wat. new hdb flats the bamboo holders outside is double sided one.duno how they can fall out?

Jen: ya, try to relax as much as possible before gg to sleep. Now i really try to avoid work after i leave office so i don't keep thinking of it. I play games and do mindless stuff like watching videos and playing with my furkids to relax, yoga not really my cup of tea.. Haha
JA: that's fast that u clear the room for bb already. For me, the room that was suppose to be with bb is still like a storage room, full of stuff also dunno how to clear. At first was a bit fustrated, but after hubby n frens tell me no worries, things will sort itself out when needed, i just let it be. Since it would be near a yr before bb will sleep in her own room. Clear out now also means the room will still be empty for some time

Yesterday another case of maid falling off cos trying to escape. Myanmar maid.

re: thermometer
i feel its essential..am using the braun one from spree
cost $60+...sg selling ard $130?
serving me well after 3yrs
its is more accurate then infrared hence clinics and hopsital uses braun too
re: desitin
i feel it is really good and just one tube can last v long
i dont use it daily...only use it at night or when i expect my baby to wear diapers for a long time to prevent diaper rash
if kenna diaper rash...apply desitin and will recover quite fast!

Rykiel: No la, cos I the very rebellious kind, I don't like to do things without knowing the reason so everytime my mum or someone ask me not to do this, I would ask why and after that would see if it makes sense then I follow lor. XD
AG: The bolster is the one that props you on both sides right? If that is, I saw similiar in kiddy palace in compasss point if you need it right away. But of course if you can wait for rykiel spree then might be cheaper.
