Click to expand...

I see, I detected my problem during my 2nd MC, so started aspirin and been monitoring condition since wk8, till wk 18, doc say the levels keep dropping so have to inject Clexane daily on top of baby aspirin all the way till birth.
So far everything is ok, blood flow and bb size. Mine is like preventative measures

She best, her style is boil a pot of water and dump everything inside, when need just take out shake the water and use.

Haha i also do the same... traditional way

N i have 1 bottle nia... so maybe boil twice a day ?

And if any kid is sick. Then boil more times like 3-4times a day ?

Yah my avent one no rack leh

No rack, but got hole leh... so you can just leave it inside to "drip dry" if you want....

I have a drying rack, but I intend to use it to hang the bottles after I wash them and before I sterilize them, then sterilize everything at one go, rather than as and when I need.

I’ve sterilised all the equipment. What should I do next?
There’s no need to remove the sterilised feed equipment from the steriliser until you need to make a feed. Keeping the bottles in the steriliser with the lid closed will keep them germ-free.

When you need to make a feed, clean and disinfect the work surface you're going to use. Then wash and dry your hands. Take a sterilised bottle from the steriliser and put it on the clean surface. Use sterilised tongs to place the teat, lid, retaining ring, and cap out ready, preferably on the upturned lid of the steriliser.

Make sure you don’t leave the sterilised empty bottles out for long, as they will quickly lose their sterility. This is not usually a problem when sterilisers have built-in storage facilities and bottles can be removed when required. If you can’t do this, re-sterilise any equipment that you’ve taken out and haven’t used straight away.

@gammahedging learnt from prenatal class, better to leave the bottles in the sterilizer n only take it out as n when u need to use it. Don't need drying rack

@wishforhope I'm also taking cardiprin daily since first trimester. Will most likely take to full term although this preg is looking good n bb is of avg weight.

I also not sure how to confirm my delivery date to CL. She kept pressing me for a date so that she can get her bus tickets. But gynae says will depend on bb condition closer to edd, might b c-sect, can also b natural. Aiyoh v headache.... If I can hold till 38-39wks, confinement period will have to b shorten coz CL wants to go bk for cny, I will have to manage in my own w helper. But if I op for c-sect on the 37-38 wks, can do 1mth w CL but not that beneficial for bb rite?

When is your EDD?? My CL never press me for a date to buy bus tickets, she just say once I am in labour to call her to inform her, this gives her 2-3 days notice to buy tickets, which I think should be more than sufficient?? CNY peak period hard to get tickets, but I think the demand should be more from SIN-Malaysia direction, rather than the other way round??

Mine edd is 2nd feb, so I guess she wanted to secure tickets both ways.

@PTB7674 gynae says can only play by ear... Closer to edd then decide. Depend on bb weight n condition then

Eh I was given this reply
"We would like to share with you that at this current moment, we do not give samples directly to consumers unless we are doing sampling at a certain event. Our sampling are mainly to hospitals through ante-natal classes or new mom bags as well as parenting seminars. "

Point in note - I wont touch Pigeon products in future. My hb was saying that they are only Pigeon, not Eagle / Falcon / Pelican / Stork. My reply: They are like bloody sparrows.

Ya! I tot so it's coz of age too! But gynae said coz our life is too good now as compared to our mother's time. We don't do as much physical work. N since #1 c-sect, body not tat conditioned? Nw #2 will b more sensitive to e ache n pain n numbness... I also got to pause n hold in a certain position to ease e pain before I can turn or get up at times. Feel like an old woman!
 
Oh and yes, I got the sebamed baby samples. I like the scent of the lotion. Much better than kodomo which is overwhelming ++++./

Oh oh is it?! I can't recall if I stop my cardiprin during my #1 in full term. I did my c-sect at 37wk5days then. Bt if ur gynae told u that, I might have stop earlier too. This time rd, I'm still taking... Until gynae advise otherwise

My edd was 3rd feb during e first gynae visit then during e 3rd or 4th visit, the machine Juz state as 2nd feb after e scan. Haven't change since...

typo it is 0.0401 not 0.4 :p but still exp as compared to the one you mentioned
it never occurs to me to buy diaper or wipes from overseas cos they are too bulky .. i usually buy smaller stuffs ..
btw diaper cream is cheaper on amazon also ... that can buy lolz

Oh yes!! I bought the triple paste and aquaphor online le!!

the pampers wipes (also the diapers) can be shipped for free, depending on the size. btw in my cart i have 1 pack of the pampers swaddlers (88 pcs)...eligible for free delivery!! It's going for US$25, which is way cheaper than what I saw at..Giant. S$36 bucks for a pack of 68 NB
 
gammahedging said:
that time i also saw at the taka fair...

http://www.pigeon.com.sg/pigeon-at-takashimaya-baby-fair/

u see the wipes, 8 big packs @ 84. Ignore the detergent n wet tissue cos the cost is immaterial relative to the total cost. 1 pc also 4.3 cents nia
Click to expand...
!! I also didn't realise it's that expensive! I'm also blind follower. Juz buy coz ppl ard me using it n gd review. But I did try huggies sample pack b4, didn't like it coz too thick n wet. Pcs get stuck together when u pull 1 out.

same ..for my #1 i try a few sample also dun like so ended with pigeon only
and now that gammahedging post the taka sales again i feel cheated by these fairs again haiz ..taka so called SALES = 8 big pack for 84 ..so each big pack is 10.50 ... look at this https://redmart.com/product/pigeon-baby-wipes.. only 9.85 :confused:
that is probably why i dun do price comparison lolz

Sometimes that's why my mom and my hb said I am a kiam kana. But the irony is hor...My mom also compares prices lor. Tho prolly she isnt as savvy when it comes to using the internet. So she only compare Sheng Siong vs NTUC.

My colls also cannot imagine that I am planning to buy diapers fr amazon whahaa. But i test 1 pack only first make sure ok
