Same as light as possible . Last time I will put extra clothing inside ziplock bag then put in boot. Hot water nowadays shopping mall have hot water dispenser not need to bring hot flask along . If using breastmilk for warming up , I will normally choose meal time go eat , ask waitress for hot water and heat up lol ... Otherwise will just direct latch and eat at the same time .

I dun like to apply diaper cream . Will only apply if turn red or rashes . Normally after applying will be recover shortly . The cream too strong . Dun wan to apply too much on their backside.

Diaper same also , will carry 2 extra in bag and some in car ..

Basically my car is mini nursery for the bb lol .. My bag will be light and easy to travel lol .

Alamak, then how?? Did u guys take it up with the valet company since the accident happeened in their care...

If you bring your own pump, think the hosp can sterilise for you. They everyday sterilise hosp equipment, sure got steriliser for breastpump parts... most likely the UV kind....

I think I will bring trolley bag too, throw everything in...
 
Red date longan tea - for those buying ingredients on your own - how much are you buying at a go? 1/2kg each? too much too little? I am looking at red dates, black dates, dried longan, dang shen, wolfberries and maybe chinese yam

valet company say not their fault cos that car owner drive his own car ..but lucky that guy quite honest .. he passed his contact no to the valet and ask my hb to contact him to talk about the compensation .. guess during that time it is a stressful period for him cos his missy kept having bleeding so multi trip to hospital that is why bang our car ( according to him)

Click to expand...


half kg each not enough i think ... i also search online quite long as i cant remember i bought how much ... i only remember i keep replenish a few times

at least for red date

I search online so far the receipe that has the weight of items needed so i can estimate how much to buy


http://pregnant.sg/articles/red-and-black-dates-tea-confinement-recipe/

1 day drink =
3/4 bowl red dates (around 150g? )
15 pieces black dates (around 50g-100g ? )
50g bei qi
50g dang sheng
100g longan meat
20g wolf berries


so 30 days =

4.5kg red dates
2-3kg black dates
1.5kg bei qi
1.5kg dang sheng
3kg longan meat
0.6kg wolf berries


this is the receipe i found which uses more ingredients than others

so i think most likely i will buy
4kg red date
2kg black dates
1kg beiqi
1kg dang shen
3kg longan (coz i like sweeter)
1kg wolf berries ???


if really not enough then buy more.... if excess can still cook soup next time ...

Anyone got any pic of the loop sanitary pad or the sanitary belt? First time I heard of these... :confused:
Click to expand...
If you google, can find pictures of it, essentially instead of using adhesive, you loop the belt around the 2 ends of the pad, and wear the pad using a belt around your waste. You can also get the more "modern" maternity pads with adhesive backing.

I didn't get maternity sanitary pad. Instead I got a mixture of Sofy/Laurier cotton night pads, those which are 42cm long to use....

I already stocked up close to 50-60 pcs of night pads (35cm-42cm) liao... is this enough for the lochia for first month??

Hmm.. I'll feel quite uncomfy if it's not the usual one with the adhesive. I'll stock up on the thick, long cotton pads then.

The hospital said they won't sterilise the breastpumps if we bring our own. Need to rent from their Medela ones at about $20 I think. If I didn't hear wrongly, they said, this is a 1 time payment and you can use as many times as you want during the stay.

I drink moderately. As long as anything not sure, just consume moderately.
The dietician did say that it is okay to take birds nest in moderation as it has good nutrients - like amino acids.

So far, the cheapest all button sleep gowns I have seen at market stalls are $7.50 each. The prices range from $7.50 - $14.

I'm a first time mummy... Clueless about almost everything! Wondering if it is necessary to buy breast pumps before birth or after?
