Grandparents sure pamper and dote on the grandchildren one. Some parents are anything lah..got people take care don't have to worry.
but if want discipline and order, i think must start from young. Imagine good life from young than when bb older and bring home to take care, bb sure will not be happy.

Xuan - she's checking to see if the colour i want still have stock anot. i will email the seller.
JC - Agree. Unless the parent super chin chye, shld bring home & teach the kids yourselves. Coz grandparents' values and parents' value can be quite different...I heard before cases where the kid stay with grandparents until much older and when parents finally bring the kid home, parents ask the kid to wash their own dishes etc, the kid give black face & complain coz nv do all these chores at grandparents' hse before. Faint...

Haha! JC: your colleague is so funny...
I'm pretty worried about my in law taking care of my baby too. Judging by how she "wows" over anything and everything that her other grandchildren does when they come for visits made me cringe... i believe in encouragement but not excessive encouragement and praising as am afraid that the child may grow up conceited.
Also, not sure whether in-law can adapt to all the new "gadgets" that has been invented so far... like sterilizer, playmat, etc... She's still using those foldable mattress when the other grand kids come over...
She did comment causally that i have a lot of things (mostly hand-me-down) for just one baby...

Fool4love, xuan,
I just went to see her website, the photographer is one of the models in the 2 photos (alone and with her hubby) lying down on the side in the main page. Not necessary need to take until to sexy la…. I oso taken with couple T-shirts on. It depends on your comfort level. She will be the photographer around if you take the maternity shoot.
Babymaine,
My BN shoot oso taken at my home. Using natural light from our home plus with no air con on. BB fussed for milk halfway during the shoot. She and her hubby were very patient. Took us abt 3 hours to complete. That time she told me she was 6 weeks pregnant. I am happy for her too.
JC,
I prefer to bring my baby home, even though its more tiring. I believe, at grandparents place will have lesser disciple. Out parents or in law oso not young liao, they won’t have so much energy like they used to have us. I think they would want to enjoy with grandchildren more. There will be also less tendency of bringing back bad habits from the relatives/ parents/ in laws home. I treasure bonding with my child. At least, she won’t feel so stranger towards me.
Fabbie,
I only used Egro so far….. No comments on Bjorn.
Wai wai,
I dun mind using 2nd hand carrier if it is still in gd condition.

Wai wai, normally the baby carriers can be washed. I also use second hand but it's from my SIL. Just wash regulary, it's as good as new. I don't think will affect the support.
Xuan, i'm also feeling tired from the an tai yao! without the medicine already tired at work. Now worse. haha. what hospital did you book? I haven't book yet as tomorrow i'm going to see Parkway east shore hospital.
2ks, totally agree about the immunity benefits about BM. I felt that way too for my #1. He seldom fell sick during the first year where he was fully breastfed. Most likely following your advice of 1 BM and 1 FM for #1 if there's excess

yes i also saw the website & was shocked to see how sexy it was. quickly closed, lol. in office, my senior colleague would get a shock if she saw.
Fabbie
To me bjorn synergy is good. If you carry baby facing inwards, there is good support for his/her thighs lah. not dangling to much. and it has good back support for parents. i like Bjorn but so tempted to get manduca now.
xuan
the risk of allergy also depends on us parents. If you or your hubby has an allergy, it will heighten baby's risk of getting allergy. If both have allergy, it will increase the risk even more. Actually i had sensitive skin when i was younger but thankfully no more as an adult. My kids have no allergy to anything so far. I'm quite thankful for this.
2Ks, Debbie
I feel that Breastmilk doesn't provide immunity 100%. BF kids do get sick too, it's just that they recover faster. U can see the impact later on too when they are in school. They get sick less often. Thankful for this. That said, I think even the most unnutritious breast milk is still better than FM. So what if there are added nutrients in FM? At the end of the day, only so much can be absorbed by the body. The rest also excreted out.

pinktulip: high 5! i'm 72.5 kg. haha!
Check something with you all: my gynae always seem to give me a gauge of how heavy baby is. When i asked him during my last checkup, he just said "1kg plus". However, i heard of people telling me the exact weight of the gynae.
A colleague just told me that her baby weighs 600g at month 4/5. My gynae just brushed my question off as "aiya, still small la!" when i questioned about the size of the baby...
is that normal?

haha, ^5! But i'm short! Only 1.54m leh. Haiyo!
I was about 64 kg during early pregnancy. Destined to be fat, hehe.
I think the gynae's scanning machine can indicate weight of baby. That was how the gynae could announce the weight.
Actually I think at 4-5mths, it doesn't really matter how much baby weighs. They wiill keep growing. In 3rd trimester the baby's weight will really go up. That's when we feel like a true blue whale. hehe.
Yesterday at clinic I saw women who looked 35+ weeks pregnant. I was like OMG, I became a bit scared thinking about the discomfort that's about to come as we progress. The sufferings of a mother!

pinktulip: of cos BM is not 100% immunity la...
u think is "xian dan" ah...kekeke
bf babies tend to have better immunity and also recover faster.
its proven for my 2 boys la.
my boys also will fall sick leh...they go ifc and cc mah...so many virus around.
just catch already recover faster i am very happy already.
ya la...just like how FM companies promoted the DHA la...what added la..
to me bullshit la.
there is a certain amount of dha that one can absorb...the extra will come out as poo lor...

Xuan, 2Ks - I also took Duphaston in 1st trimester when I had slight bleeding. Its supposed to stabilise the pregnancy...took 2/3 per day until 12th weeks. No side effects then for me.
Oh xuan, the manduca seller nv reply my email lehs. haha. Anyway, I am not in urgent need of the carrier so I guess I can still wait for the next batch.
Weight
Very scared to weigh myself tmr at the gynae's!!!! hahaha my hb say pregnant should gain weight but I think men have no idea how scary it is to see the nos./scale keep going up and up...and at an increasingly faster rate. :S

fabbie: i used bjorn synergy before for #1. Sold it off when #1 was about 6 months old cos by then bjorn is back breaking already when my son about 8kg. bjorn look stylish and is easy to use but it's support is really not as good as beco/ergo/manduca etc. and for bb boys ppl say it's not too good cos the weight more on their groin and not thigh when they face forward.

Xuan,
My package was 2 years back. If I did not forget, its ard $200 plus with 15 edited soft copies returned and 1 hr shoot for maternity. Outfit she has was quite limited that time. My NB was their model for their sponsor outfits, so was done FOC with 5 edited photos.
I took duphaston during my 1st tri, bcos I having bleeding. I usually reduce the dosage when my bleeding stop for at least 2 days.
Pinktulip,
Ya… its true that quite inconvenient to open the website at work. This maternity photography was one of the most daring thing I ever done.
Fool4love,
Even the gynae give an exact figure is oso estimated weight one. He take the measurements thru the ultrasound machine and the machine will help to calculate a weight based on the measurements.

Xuan, read the link already. I think Dr Poon got his reasons for prescribing different type of hormone pills. But i took duphaston before in first trimester. it's my first time taking utrogestan. Your duphaston definitely is safe de.

1 cm taller? still taller, mah hehe.
Yes i agree, i was hungry all the time during first few months of breastfeeding. First few weeks I can easily eat lots of biscuits dipped into milo.
omg u had contractions at 32 weeks? Scary. Hopefully none this round.

if you enjoyed the shoot, why not? Hehe. Do you frame up the photos at home too?
Irene
Now i'm tempted to try out a manduka!
