Sling - I used MIM sling for my #1 since birth till abt 2 yrs and stop slinging him as I'm pregnant. MIM sling is quite useful if u r able to use it the correct way. Initially I used wrongly and the lady at mothercare thot me how to do it
frm then it's my best friend as I'm always alone w #1.. bringing him to n fro up down bus/train. I will continue to use MIM sling for my #2 and would wanna get a pupsik too.. Thou I still dnw how to use but I guess once I know how to use it, should be quite useful too!
Stroller - I have a capella s705 model which I find it quite good too.. Weight of stroller is abt 8kg.. Usually I br my #1 to supermarket and dump all my items underneath n once full, I'll hang remaining items on stroller.. My stroller won't flip tt easily because of it's sturdiness. Baby should b quite comfy too as even up till now when my boy sleeps in it, he's in a comfy position.. Legs won't be dangling tt much which is also another safety issue to tk note ESP when up n down escalator. Now I'm contemplating to get a twin stroller be it side by side or up n down as by the time #2 arrives, #1 is 3.. And guess he would only sleep in it much more.. Unless I go out alone he has to listen to me n get coax to sit in it else how can I push one n hold another?? But these big wheels double stroller quite bulky n ex...

Hi mummies... been very tired lately, so never managed to come online to the thread... its so active now!
Jer, I agree it'll be fun to have a chart on the thread for us mummies who are not on the FB chat... but I forgot how to post tables... any mummies remember how to do that? I can create a new table and send it to the mummy that knows how to post table on the thread for uploading... or someone can teach me too... haha
I used a combination of bb bjorn air and the hanamugari when I had my #1... bb bjorn is good support for newborns and the hanamugari and light and handy for bringing out when my girl got older... also, my girl was a sumo bb... so the bb bjorn got too tight for her thunder thighs as she became bigger... the hanamugari was much more comfy and also cooler since the material is light.
I use the maclaren xlr which is really quite a monster stroller... its a whopping 10.5kg before I put my girl in... I remember days when i would be struggling with the darn stroller and my girl at 9kg in the sling... wah... really blue and green leh...especially if i needed to get on a bus which required me to fold down the stroller...and woe be onto me if I end up somewhere with no proper ramps or lifts... and need to struggle up escalators with my girl in the stroller... one word: Can die!
But I still do adore the xlr for its sturdiness... and comfort... my girl can sleep level within the stroller comfortably up till she was about 1 yr old and she is considered much bigger than kids her age in terms of size and height... and it still fits her comfortably now that she is 3plus yrs old...
Luckily we drive most of the time, so its not too inconvenient for me... but if you plan to use public transport often then xlr is not very practical...think most mummies I know prefer combi and graco...
Think there is some bb warehouse sale upcoming... from baby studio.... I'll post the link to it shortly after I check my email later... mummies interested can do check it out!
Busy busy week for me and I expect it to get busier... wishing all mummies a splendid week ahead!

did you gynae say anything abt bb size? if not, don't need to worry. i'm abt 18 weeks and I think i only put on about 2-3kg so far. End of 3 months I even lost 1kg cos i was always feeling v full and uncomfy and no appetite! but as long as your bb is growing well no need to worry.

Isobellies: She's said the baby is growing and it's fine. =) Have u found out the gender of your bb?
Your no.1 bb too?
DJ mama: I not sure if I should wait till the baby fair on 31may at expo to get the items or should I get some now? What do u recommend? Is there better deals at expo?

Hi Jer, okie... if I dun fall asleep suddenly tonight, I will go and play around with table posting... hehe... meanwhile, should I follow the table exactly as the one shared via the link? Or what do our mummies want reflected in our table here other than EDD, Gender, OB/GYN, etc?
Vinvola, good to hear your bb is of good weight!
Dun worry, they will grow ever faster as our pregnacy moves along... especially in the third trimester... Just eat normally and dun try to diet, you should be fine.
It is really up to you. When I had #1, I did not buy many things until the 3rd trimester. I enjoy doing thorough research on my purchases and especially if its for baby... so I took a long time to read and read and window shop for stuff, especially the big ticket items.
Another reason was worry... its was my first pregnancy, and I had a terrible time with MS that lasted right up till I was 5 months along... so I wanted to be really sure everything was ok before I bought anything. The only thing I bought early was my dual breast pump which I got my friends to ship back to me from USA. The cost difference was more than 50% so I didn't wait to see other options. Haha. (In the end my BM supply was so low, my pumps are practically brand new now!)
Jer, I am planning to buy confinement recipe books and getting my maid to cook since she follows recipes well and can cook according to my standards... dunno if that is a silly idea though... haha... I am sceptical about catering... for one who does alot of cooking and shopping in the wet markets, I really think the catered confinement food is ex leh... but then I suppose most of us also no choice....
Chew, I think it is worthwhile investing in a good musical mobile... its good entertainment for baby for short periods of time and also soothing to play during their bedtime... I got a Fisher Price Jungle mobile when I had my #1... it is still in perfect working condition now... And she had fun with it right up till she was about 15 months when she could stand up and tug at it... we then removed it in case it became a safety issue... get one with nice soothing music and night lights for playing in the evenings... they are good.

ah then no need to worry lah. along the way can monitor, if need you can jia you and eat more in third trimester, haha. yes, it's a meimei for my 2 boys
me third time already so much more relaxed, haha!
chew
I like Tiny Love ones, I know Robinsons Centrepoint has but not sure how much they cost. You can also DIY a little - for the changing mat I used to dangle some of those 50cent soft toys with a string from an old (and ugly) mobile arm that someone passed down to me.
DJ
agree the catered confinement food is nothing special, just lots of dishes with ginger, and herbal soup and longan tea. not cheap although the portions are large and can almost feed 2 pax. I ordered when I had #1 because I didn't want to overwhelm my mum. If your maid can cook well i think it's a good plan to get her to do it!

weight gain: i seems to be putting much more weight n faster for this time round! gained 5kg at 15weeks, damn scare i will gain too much weight, cuz for no 1 i only gain 1kg+ at that time=( but well don try to control diet during pregnancy, most imptly is eat well sleep well.
Catered confinement food: i ordered from natal essentials for #1 (3yrs back), portion big, but somehow i see the food no appetite, almost everyday same,jus tt main ingredient change. taste is all similar. eat once a wk ok,but everyday not v nice i find. end up i cancel my order on e 2nd wk, refund 50% only, have been throwing away quite a far bit,if not end up in my hubby tummy. but if u like sweet (rice wine) food den okay to have them.

Hi mummies, I'm oct edd but I should be c-sect case so will most likely be sept mummy. Can I join u gals?
Seeing that u gals r talking about carrier.. Wanna share my
part. I was also considering between manduca and ergo.. But I decided upon manduca cos it can support from newborn while ergo needs an insert for newborn. I tot it means can last longer..
But now I have a baby 9 months and preg, I think I need to get a stroller to house my #1 and carrier for #2...
yes... I'm preg so soon from my 1st baby.. Tough.. Wasn't Wat I wanted but have come to accept it thou. Good la. Early give birth early relax but have to crash course for a number of yearsssss =_=;

Morning mummies~
welcome cac
seems carrier is quite popular among mummies.
Maybe I should consider getting both a stroller & a carrier and use either 1 depending on duration of my outings.
Rgding weight gain : on my last visit 2 wks ago @ 16wks, I think I had only gain 1kg, but gyane say bb is growing well, so I guess not to worry much.
any mummies recently felt hunger pangs during the night?these 2 nights, I seem to keep feeling that my stomach is empty, though I had my dinner as per normal.
Rgding musical mobile : I have heard it will caused the bb to become cross-eyed. Is there any truth in it?or it's juz an old wives tale?
DJ Mama : I have no pref on the table, so long main details like EDD, gender etc are reflected so that we can cheer each other along the journey.

Hi mummies
for me i like Ergo, i had a few carriers but used Ergo the most for my boy!
Sunkissprissie,
ME! these few nites since monday esp between 2-4am has been waking up for milk and bread or cup noodles..
For baby towels, i bought those fr Kiddy Palace and has been using them and find them good, dry faster and dun hv those frills that will come out easily..

i also swear by my ergo carrier.
in fact i haf 2 mim slings. only 1 is used by my mum. i cant handle the sling alone leh..
when my #1 was younger, i borrowed an infantino carrier fr my sis. changed to ergo when he's abt 4 mths old. hence i didnt buy any infant insert.
im v dependent on my stroller now.. so im seriously considering if i shd use carrier + stroller or shall juz buy a twin/double deck stroller...
princessxiaomei: i read u r also looking @ twin strollers. u may wanna consider phil & teds for double deck & maclaren for side by side kind..
any other mummies saw better twin strollers? can share?
thks!!

Just wanna ask, anyone has 2 baby car seat in car? given my close age gap for the 2 little ones.. (#1 only 9 months now, #2 still in tummy) i would think i will need 2 car seat..

Thanks for sharing about the sale, mom of 3 monsters! Sunkissprissie, the details of the sale is on the homepage., you got to scroll down to see.
i am also interested to know about 2 car seats in car. Like Cac, my boy will be 3 yr plus next yr and the #2 will be few mths next yr. so i will definitely need 2 car seats as well. was also thinking how to put the car seats in the backseats. I read it is always safer to put car seat at the back so, not advisable to put at front passenger seat.

Cac, Rachelle
I have 2 car seats in the back seat of the car right now. They DO take up a lot of space, and an adult cannot sit comfortably at the back, but have to sit towards the front of the middle back seat, but it's better for the kids to be strapped in anyway. We use a Maxi Cosi Priori for the 2YO and a Cybex booster seat for the 4YO, although the Priori can take up to 3YO or maybe older, but we upgraded #1 because no point getting 2 of the same car seats.
when #3 arrives we will probably upgrade #1 to the front seat - it is safer to put car seats in the back, but in the front is OK. Only backward facing (like infant carrier) + airbag = NO NO, unless you can turn off your airbag. Forward facing seat + airbag is OK.
Rachelle
oh dear, GE! Did you have to jab yourself every day? I remember my SIL had to, so poor thing.

Rachelle,
Did you try brown rice instead of normal rice to cut down on carbohydrate? Heard that it helps to lower down the glucose level. Have you done the blood test to test for gestational diabetes to confirm?
Cac,
In order to add you to the facebook group, need to add you as friend first but cannot find your profile in FB. You may want to verify your privacy setting.

*ow mummy* - my #1 is a boy
I don't mind gender so long my kids are healthy & happy. Of cos if I have a meimei this time, it's triple joy & it's a bonus. I just did my d&c last sept & now my due date is early sept it's really a blessing to be able conceive tt fast again. Really worried much more as compared to being pregnant w my #1 lor.. Hopefully time pass asap!
*rachelle* - take good care of ur health. Have more bed rest if u can. Hugs!!
*DQ* - i won't be getting a twin/double stroller tt early so I still have more time to look around but quite interested to know more now as I like to spend more time before buying big ticket items. Right now I have to get a cot & car seat for #1 lor.. Guess I better get these ready before 3rd trim as now in 2nd trim I'm still feeling v tired n heartburn or nauseous.. Most likely my 3rd trim I will be even more tired plus tummy so much bigger & I still Hv to look after #1 myself.. Being pregnant not easy! Alot of worries n stress.. Wawa..
it's really a blessing to be able conceive tt fast again. Really worried much more as compared to being pregnant w my #1 lor.. Hopefully time pass asap! *rachelle* - take good care of ur health. Have more bed rest if u can. Hugs!!

haiya, ya lor, the car seats are so bulky!! so 3 car seats mean: 1 driver, #1 in front seat (with booster seat), #2 and #3 in back, me squeeze in the middle in a most uncomfortable position. maid got to stay home, haha. if die die need, then one of us will take cab, cos now COE so high, we don't want to buy new car. but i rather we squeeze than compromise on the kids safety.
for milk, there's also fenugreek, a herbal supplement which you can get from the larger pharmacies, and there is actually a presciption medication that is supposed to help too (sorry can't recall name). but best is to latch more. i think the mother's tea doesn't have caffine, otherwise no one wants super alert babies, haha!

does dragonfruit have lots of fibre? i like dragonfruit.. but i guess it's quite "liang" issit ah? i dunno.. i just think mayb it's "liang" food..
reason why i ask about the tea, cos i see other mummies who bought the tea to standby and take in the first few days after delivery.. (that's when the milk need to take time to kick in).. and so far they have successfully established their supply... i just wanna "try harder" this time round

oh, is dragonfruit "liang"? I have been eating it almost everyday :x
I checked on the internet on dragonfruit -
"Due to its high fiber content, with almost 1 g of fiber per 100 g of fresh fruit, the dragon fruit can serve as a natural laxative to treat constipation."

there's this medication that is used to mainly cure stomach upset but the side effects for a lactating mum is increased milk supply. all gynaes/ GPs can prescribe it. if you're worried about milk supply can ask ur gynae to prescribe to u before u discharge. IMO, constant latching in the first few weeks is the best way to build your supply. for me i only went to medication when i returned to work and was so stressed that my supply was affected and it was a short term solution to 'hold' my supply to meet my baby demand

DJ_Mama,
I think you can follow the table as per the link.
Most probably I will order just for dinner. Lunch will get my mil helper to cook for me.
Princessxiaomei,
Before I used pupsik, I am using MIM too. Trust me once you try on pupsik, you won’t want to use MIM anymore. If you know how to use MIM, pupsik is super duper easy. I dunno how to describe to you how to fold, it’s just simply fold inwards.
RE: Baby seat
I’m also having problem with car seats. Driving a small sedan with 3 kids? Sigh.. Now #1 on booster seat and #2 on car seat already quite squeezy at the back when #3 comes, dunno how. Hopefully hubby strike lottery? lol! then can change bigger car
