Bdmummy,
I also engaged a parttime cleaner....now with bb's arrival, I asked her to come twice a week, plus ironing. Thank God my hb also hands on with the kids but can see he is tired after a long day at work. He wakes up earlier to prepare the kids bfast & fetches my #1 to sch.
p1nk1e,
Ya...better dun wear underwired nursing bra. I just ordered from one of the BPs. Will arrive next week. Hopefully can fit comfortably.

Hi, can recommend any breast pad that is comfortable. I bought nuk and Avent but the plastic that surround the cotton hurt. Really dun feel like wearing, but no choice cause keep leaking.

mashimaro: sure, whats your bb gal's weight? and was it natural or c-sec? do provide the details before i can add in the spreadsheet. tks.
ChinLee.. o, you also no. 3! Yay! Someone for me to discuss with on "how to cope!". Are you a SAHM? I'm a FTWM. My helper is going back on home leave during March... I think I will go nuts for 2 weeks! 
Yea, I know what you mean about not getting the correct technique. Was just joking with my friend, no. 3 already, and still I had to engage an LC to come to my house! But I guess every baby is different.
p1nk1e, I bought 2 Bravado Nursing Bras. I highly recomend the Bravado Original Nursing Bra. It's more ex than what you get from maidenform or gmarket, but it's now my favourite nursing bra. Very comfortable. Only thing is, it's not a back-clasp bra. It's a racer back so you have to wear from the top. I also bought the underwire Allure, but don't find that as comfortable.
JoeyAng, I'm seeing Adrian Tan from ACJ. How about you?
Canopyhaze, my bb gal's weight is 3.315kg.

2kidsmommy - I am a FTWM...my kids are younger - one p2 and the other 2.5 yrs old. Not much help from parents and in-laws - so rely on childcare and helpers. I can imagine the chaos should there be any lapse in the routine - eg helper go home..! You have one helper..? Can the helper cope with 3 kids..?
Ya..I also need recommendations on nursing bra..!! Don't really like underwire ones..
Celine - breast pad - I ordered from www.diapers.com.sg Quite comfy..it is a jap brand.

2kidsmommy : huh? i thought i was asking mashimaro? Anyway, do provide all info tat are listed in the spreadsheet if u wanna n\be added in. thks.
p1nk1e, O, didn't realise that Bravado is by Medela. I got mine from AlleMom.sg. There's a discount if you buy 2 or 3 bras. I'm usually a 34A, and I bought the smallest size for the Bravado Original (think it's S) and it fits just nice.
Chinlee, yes, I only have 1 helper. Both my kids 6yo and 4yo go to full day school. When I found out I was preggy, my helper said she was worried she cannot cope. So I gave her 2 options, I'll get another helper or get a part time helper. She turned both options down. So, we said we'll play by ear. With both kids at full day school, I think it should be ok.
JoeyAng, o dear. I know what you mean. When he was out of town, during that period, I avoided walking too much because I wanted to pop when Dr. Tan came back. Luckily, we managed to wait till he came back, and also for the new year. My 2 older ones were also delivered by him.
Canopyhaze, O.. because I asked to be added previously, and I didn't include the weight at that time. Saw you ask MashiMaro so I figured you need that as well.

CanopyHaze, here are my details: This is my no. 3, girl, EDD 4 Jan 2013, Emma, gave birth at TMC, doctor is Dr. Adrian Tan, DOB 5 Jan 2013, 3.315KG, Natural, I live in Katong.
Aspialle, good question. What does my helper do when both kids go to full day school? Right now, I have a confinement nanny, so she really has alot of free time. She's done with housework by lunch time, and in the afternoon, she rests. When the nanny goes back in one weeks' time, I guess she will have more to do. When I go back to work, that is the issue. In the past, my helper will go to my mum's house at noontime to wait for the two kids to come back from half day school. Our instinct is that with no.3, she should go to my mum's house in the morning and stay there the whole day. But, she has said she doesn't want to go. So we are thinking we will compromise... 3 days my mum's house, 2 days my house she will be with the infant unsupervised. We are still thinking about it. On one hand, she is reliable (with us for slightly more than 2 years already), but I'm not sure if I am ready to leave her alone with the infant for the whole day. On the other hand, I do have friends who leave their kids alone with the helper the entire day everyday. Sigh. Difficult la.
Ryan_Leroy, it could be my imagination, but after using the Elancyl cream for 3 days, I think my tummy has come down a little bit! But like I said, it could be my imagination. LOL!

Maddog - I like medela over avent because of following:
1) I don't have to sit near a powerpoint, which means I can pump in car during road trips to Malaysia.
2) suction power - medela freestyle has up to 9 speed
3) noise level - think medela is softer
4) milk bottle - for avent, u can only use avent bottles, whereas for medela, u can use many other brand's bottles.

Maddog, I'm using Avent electronic double pump now.. Like what vivian mentioned, I have to be at the Powerpoint and there is no battery parts for outdoor use... Don't like the petal flanks cos milk accumulates in the petals... After a few times I decided to remove the petals and it was more efficient. The pump can remember the speed.
So far the pump works fine for me since i have a designated pumping area. If you are thinking of using it when you are back to work, I would think its a little too bulky and heavy to carry the motor around, I'm already thinking of getting an extra motor from SIL so that I can put one in office.
