It's average I guess, I'm just grateful with what I have. $12K & above then very comfortable lah, coz gahmen said cannot buy HDB flat, must buy EC. Haha. I still can buy HDB flat mah.
Over the years, the definition of a sandwiched class has really changed yah? But the more you earn, somehow the more you spend. Sigh, that's life.

Think you don't need to worry about milk bags for now. It's more useful if you need a lot for storage maybe say a month before going back to work?

jill: this is the explanation 2Ks has provided me with and I think it should help
upon birth
open CDA account (either OCBC or stand chart): dollar to dollar match till max 6k (1st & 2nd child). means u put $100 govt will match $100 till max $6K
baby bonus account - upon filled up form and credit to specified account. 6k divided into 1 year,
upon birth 50%
subsquent 25%, 25%
Childcare leave (calculate from youngest child) -total 6 days (prorated if new staff)
paternity leave - 1 week for papa, but also can use 1 week leave from mother 16 weeks leave
means mummy can take 15 weeks whereas papa can take 2 weeks.
besides that can take unpaid ccl of a week if have infants less than 2 years old.
childcare subsidy: $300 for above 18 months, $600 for below 18 months

2ks,
do u have the link for the online spree?
but i would prefer those one piece one, coz i suspect he caught a cold from playing the water. normally when he comes back after water play, he will have a cold one. so i thot try the one piece type, maybe will keep him warmer? cannot dun let him play also, teacher says he enjoys playing in the water.....headache for me

wah, so many posts this morning!
wt81: I think both work differently, I tried fenugreek for my #1, but did not help me much, in fact, I smelled of fenugreek! It is actually a type of herb, there are different brands in the pharmacy. For nursing tea, I 've not tried that, but for #2, may try.
Can ask 2nd time mummies who are near to 25-26 weeks, do you feel like you are in 3rd tri that feeling? I start to feel aching again, stomach heavy, pelvic getting sng sng again...these 2 days also feeling bloated again, and tired..

Wt81, for fenugreek, perhaps u can try greenlife brand as quite a no of mummies commented that gnc ones don't work for them.
Other than fenugreek, u can try on Malunggay tea. Mums&fairy sells them in tea bags/capsules. Malunggay is also a type of plant that is gd in stimulating milk as well as for overall health benefits. It's widely common in Philippines as they're all grown wild everywhere. Some sheng siong or teka/little India markets sells the fresh ones, with it's fruits but u got to know how to cook it..
For nursing tea, there's a varieties of brands around and it's kind of a mixtures of different herbs. Traditional medicine nursing tea/Malunggay tea works well for me. Yogi/angel mama nursing tea is also not bad. I'm stocking up bit by bit of nursing tea from iherb whenever I'm doing purchases as I took it daily at work during my breastfeeding period for #1.. It does helps in my supply but got to take it consistently like 2-3 cups daily. Other than these, u can also load more on milo, milk, avocado, soya products as proteins builds up more supply..

Decided on baby English name liao. ^^ Hubby thought of Chinese name this morning which sounds good to me. Might have to decide whether want to go to some name master for advice.
By the way I received the poncho liao, thanks 2ks for the recommendation and order! It looks great and comfortable.

my colleague say must keep your mood happy to have more milk. The more stress, the lesser the milk.
charliebrown : duno leh...i haven't feel the kick yet even though i week 22 liao. think my fats really very thick.
2K : can consider C and change to K.
i more worried about chinese name..really clueless

2k, $1 for one big packet of raw fenugreek is cheap! I shall try for #2..
Nursing tea can be taken during confinement or even 2-3weeks before u delivered. Like 1-2 sachets of tea bags a week. But not v necessary la as after my delivery, my hormones changed rapidly and caused engorgement and lumps for me. I had a v hard time clearing it!
Woah, the poncho has been sent out? Can't wait to receive it and try it on.. Hopefully can cover my width well! Hehe
