Ming8110, My pump still lying there, think will have to on it to try before delivery. But I got 2 spare manual pump to standby, so not so scare. Previously, I only got the electric pump, always got the fear of it breaking down and cause me to engorge. heehee.. paranoid me.
My bottles still quite new, no scratches or yellow, so can still use.
Dang gui, I also heard this during my #1 time. So I have been avoiding dang gui since then until now. Alot of mummies or old folks don't know, they will advise to take dang gui after delivery.
Reineluv, Whether the flow heavy anot is depending on individuals as well as the delivery mode. I had c-sec and after the c-sec, I found that my flow is very very light (only 1st 3 days at hospital is slightly more). Later when I check with gynae, he told me that he had helped me to clean up the inside before he does his stitches, that explains why the flow was light. But also depends on gynae, cause I heard some people after c-sec also heavy flow as their gynae didnt clean up.
May, Hand-me-downs are very good. Just take everything and then scan through them at home. Those old old ones just put aside. I found that after using the hand-me-downs, we will know what to note and form our own preference when we go and buy for our own. So hand-me-down are good for us to trial-run the products first.
Btil, Romper are those 1 whole piece clothes which you need to lift bb head and put through and then the bottom opening is close-up at the diaper area using those tic-tac button. For Singapore, I think most newborn are wearing 1 layer (either 1 top+1 bottom or 1 romper, with mitten and booties), then wrap up with the towel/blanket/napkin cloth. Some also don't wrap up if the weather too warm.
