It's a beautiful Sat morning!
Regarding calcium, there r other calcium-rich food like cheese & yoghurt. For more, read here. http://pediatrics.about.com/od/calcium/a/06_calcium_food.htm
In the beginning, I tried a can of milk formula specially formulated for pregnant ladies. But I really don't like it. After finishing the can, I just moved on to the cold milk. But I've leave it for 10 mins outside before drinking so not so cold. I also drink yacult & eat yoghurt daily. You can try having cereals with yoghurt instead of with milk.

Like you I don't like milk formula so I've never started on any. The only milk I take are the pasteurized ones and it has to be COLD.
Ladies, I would like to add on with regards to calcium intake.
The developing baby needs calcium to build strong bones and teeth; to grow a healthy heart, nerves, and muscles; and to develop a normal heart rhythm and blood-clotting abilities. If we don't get enough calcium in our diet, our baby will draw it from your bones, which may impair our own health later on.
The recommended daily allowance of calcium for pregnant women who are 24 and older is about 1200 mg. Keep your total intake of all forms of calcium below 2,500 mg a day, including all the calcium you get from supplements, your daily prenatal, food sources and calcium in bottled or tap water. More than this can cause constipation increase your risk of kidney stones, and might make the absorption of other minerals, such as zinc and iron, less efficient.
There are two different forms of calcium supplements: Calcium citrate and calcium carbonate. Both are good choices for supplementation.
<u>Calcium citrate</u> (Citrical brand) is the BEST absorbed supplemental form of calcium. It can be taken on an empty stomach because it does not require stomach acid to break apart.
<u>Calcium carbonate</u> (Tums, Caltrate, Viactiv Calcium Chews, Os-Cal, and Nature Made brands) is the most common type of calcium supplement on the market. Since it usually needs extra stomach acid to break apart, it is best taken with food.
The best person to aid you in deciding whether to take calcium supplement in your doctor. Please ask his/her advise.

Like you I don't like milk formula so I've never started on any. The only milk I take are the pasteurized ones and it has to be COLD.
Ladies, I would like to add on with regards to calcium intake.
The developing baby needs calcium to build strong bones and teeth; to grow a healthy heart, nerves, and muscles; and to develop a normal heart rhythm and blood-clotting abilities. If we don't get enough calcium in our diet, our baby will draw it from your bones, which may impair our own health later on.
The recommended daily allowance of calcium for pregnant women who are 24 and older is about 1200 mg. Keep your total intake of all forms of calcium below 2,500 mg a day, including all the calcium you get from supplements, your daily prenatal, food sources and calcium in bottled or tap water. More than this can cause constipation increase your risk of kidney stones, and might make the absorption of other minerals, such as zinc and iron, less efficient.
There are two different forms of calcium supplements: Calcium citrate and calcium carbonate. Both are good choices for supplementation.
<u>Calcium citrate</u> (Citrical brand) is the BEST absorbed supplemental form of calcium. It can be taken on an empty stomach because it does not require stomach acid to break apart.
<u>Calcium carbonate</u> (Tums, Caltrate, Viactiv Calcium Chews, Os-Cal, and Nature Made brands) is the most common type of calcium supplement on the market. Since it usually needs extra stomach acid to break apart, it is best taken with food.

Hello & morning everyone!!!
Sorry for the delayed reply becuz I woke up at 11.30am (thinking tour was 2.30pm), log in to forum via iphone on the bed and jumped out, trying to prepare and rush and by time we were out of the house, it was 12.10pm and DH said alamak, by time we reach (tho we are like 10-15 min away) based on traffic, probably missed touring some areas already so he suggested that we book on a weekday or something then since all Saturday slots till end Dec are booked (that's what the guy told me on the phone)...
Just wanted to thank Ron again for letting me her slot though I'm absolutely embarrassed & paisay that I couldn't make it in time
(DH saw me rushing like a mad cow in and out of shower and shoook his head saying u ah...just to tour TMC, wahahah)
Hazel - you managed to book weekend slot or weekday? Yeah I wanna do it soon too!!! Hehe I wonder if we can take pictures during the tour. I will prob have a list of questions to ask them. Mwahahahaha.
Msmiele - thank u so much for sharing with us the calcium info and food! Just to ask if Calcium citrate and carbonate is via through milk/yoghurt? After all this calcium talk I realized how much I've been missing out on my required intake (a lot of catching up now) and when I saw baby's spine and bones on Wed, I realized how much he is absorbing from me.
tzac - I started on babyplus thru another sister (silent reader on this forum) introduction to it. Was also introduced to it during the Cordlife event some time back, saw the video on how it works and my mom was kinda sold/intrigued by it so she bought it as baby's first gift from grandma. Personally I won't know whether its effective but since its a gift, and I'm free at home I just wore it anyway. It can get quite monotonous and annoying at times with the dong dong dong sound. hahaha. The distributors will be having a booth at the upcoming bb fair again so u can check it out before deciding. Also there are pre-loved ones available via forum or ebay (from what I understand) which cost about $100+.
RitzC - fridge to go as in to store your BM? Or just a cooler bag? I'm looking for cooler bag too but I don't know if it will add up to the bulk of diaper bag. hehe. No choice right if we wanna store milk. Am thinking wah when we go out have to bring breast pumps, cooler bag, diaper bag...wow!

Kimmy, I want get a fridge to go original or pigeon fridge to go, not ordinary cooler bag. Think some diaper bags like some Skip Hop have insulated compartments if juz want an ordinary cooler bag can use that instead. I want get a fridge to go to transport bm to my mil house during bb full month shower. I'm holding bb shower at two venues, one at my mum's for my relatives n frens n another at my mil for her relatives and frens. Not having one at my own house coz no point since bb is staying at my mum's house n I dun want to specially go to my house to clean up before n after the bb shower juz to entertain my mil's frens n her relatives. Also dun want her breathing down my neck w her incessant nagging if bb cries during bf at her house so better keep supply of bm ready.
Anyway, I think diaper bags r only sufficient for compact packing of bb stuff so that u can find them easily but if want bring along many other things like breast pump n food warmer, think most prob you will need to carry extra bag. Most diaper bags r not v big except some Skip Hop, but the big Skip Hops I saw at kkh some pockets r velcro instead of zips.

Anyway, I also gotten nursing cover at Mums & Babes for $20 plus, dun know whether there will be cheaper ones at bb fair though. N I attended the breast feeding class recently at kkh tps, it was quite informative for a first timer plus they give a free breastfeeding DVD which I haven't open yet.

Hazel, I'm also thinking if I can't find a suitable diaper bag, I will get a big tote bag n munchkins diaper organizer to put in it instead. Ha, I have been bugging my hubby for a Kate Spade diaper bag, but frankly if stained by wet stuff ( milk, poo) so sayang. He always tell me that the allowance he gave me every month is equivalent to giving me a LV every month liao. Haiz. Wow, u got a Cartier for diaper bag! Envy envy
