Hi mummies with experience, may I check with you for washing of baby clothes, can only use baby detergent/powder?

ok i am not experienced but.... there is no need to use baby detergent, unless baby has very sensitive skin. this is what i read lah

I did buy baby detergent... although I read that there is no need to use it, but not sure if bb has sensitive skin or not, esp since NB, so err on the side of caution first. If after 6 months he seems okay, then I may switch back to normal detergent and also normal baby toiletries (like Pigeon etc).
(I am also a FTM, but got the above advice from my sis who is a mother of 2)
Super low energy these few days. Been running errands in the mornings and will need afternoon snooze..just woke up with an extremely stiff arm. Wah pain..at night haven't been sleeping well cos need to pee at least twice..worse is I always get the bladder wanna burst feeling but not much pee.. tomorrow the 30 day countdown begins!!!! Wheeee we are all so near...I'm kinda nervous!

For me I used baby detergent until almost 2 years old cos of parent's sensitive skin history so I won't take a chance to use normal detergent
Same timing as me!! Super sian.. really giving us practice for the real deal.. I also been having numb arms when I wake up. Throughout the night must keep flipping sides then not so bad. When then u confirm ur c sect date? Still wondering if my little one will come out ard 38-39 wks..or will wanna bake longer till 2015

I will be using plant based detergent for all clothes so dun need to differentiate adult or baby detergent. Everyone's clothes use the same detergent.
I did my research. It said baby detergent not necessary.
Most importantly, dont use softener. Softener is artificial and only leaves a layer of 'waxy' coat on clothes that makes clothes less absorbent.

Mi oso ard the same timing lor...I hate the 5 am wake up timing. Cos mean a while more, my alarm will ring and need to wake up n prepare for work...
I dun have much numbness in hand. But my knuckles are really painful for abt 2 weeks already. Anyone have painful knuckles oso? I ask my gynae, she just say is normal. Everything she say is normal....:x

I find it so hard to concentrate on work (or anything not related to pregnancy or bb) mostly due to the aches, pains and discomfort. When I sit down to work, LO will almost always literally squirm and move a big fuss, very distracting lol! It's like he's saying, "Drop your work and come and play with me!" Then I procrastinate which leads to more work being pushed back and I can't imagine clearing all that work to a level where I feel comfortable to go on ML.

Lolz next time after we pop we can expect pple come in forum chat at 1-2am and 4-5am wahahha
Yah Agreed hate the 4-5am cos in less than 2hra alarm going to ring lolz
When in last trim pain and numbness are common. Severe one then called cts .. For my case not only night time numb .. Day time for no reason also number .. Due to water retention and pressing of nerve ..
My gynae initially also said normal it is when I tell her day time also get it eg when using chopstick can suddenly feel numb that is when she give me extra tablet aka vit b ..

Wah, so exciting! You can see baby soon!
My CTS is gone. I just try to keep my wrist straight when I sleep at night and try not to use that hand too much.
I also start to wake up about twice at night... sianz....cause I always sleep so shiok, then must force myself to wake up to pee.
Hehe yup..its water retention..my gynae also said normal and will go away after delivery..hang in there! We're almost at the finishing line
Wah wah..exciting!!

Err how u keep your wrist straight ? Do u sleep on your side ? Do u need bolster or pregnancy pillow ?

I'm a SAHM with a bit of obsessive compulsive in cleaning the house, and with a 2 year old toddler running round and about, I noticed that even on my last month of pregnancy i didn't even get swollen feet. My previous pregnancy, I was working, even though i was walking, my feet still swell by 8 month. but now... not even a sign of swelling... wow, i must have overworked myself.

I tot the more u walk etc the more likely get water retention . If u notice after a day of chasing or walking u sleep and rest your feet the swelling will be gone ..

I sleep on my side. I use a bolster..so when I hug the bolster, my arms are crossed and my wrists are like resting on the opposite arm (near the elbows). Helps a lot....only like that then my wrist not so pain then I can sleep.
Usually after a few nights like that, the wrist pain goes away without me realising.
Ya for me my feet tend to swell a bit when I walk too much..Usually will prop up with pillows at night then next morning better

ooo thank you all for your replies! Maybe first round of washing I'll wash with normal detergent first, then closer to EDD date I'll wash again with baby detergent...
Ahh actually just 1 month+ more and so far what's ready is the baby cot, mattress and bedding set that was delivered yesterday, gotten some diaper samples, swaddle cloth and a few baby clothes.
Being a FTM I don't know if I'm too relax or should I start preparing more things lol>_<

Oh really? I didn't know this. So maybe that's why Im not swelling at all... Guess this means I'm well rested at home then. LOL

Better start prepping your bottles, sterilizer, warmer (if you will be pumping and freezing milk), baby toiletries.

Just passing on a public service announcement (lol!) from the January mummies' Facebook group to all January mummies on the forum: Do join the closed Facebook group if you haven't. They'll be centrally organising events there, like baby's first year celebrations, gatherings etc. To join, you can let me know. I will add you into the group and the admin will subsequently approve for you to be added.

@charkwn I think @ecym set up a group PM to exchange hp numbers. Just share your number there. Thanks!

He's too shy to gather with many women, lol. I'll check with him again, but I'll leave the decision to him. Maybe he needs some alone time from all the preggy things, lol.

ahh yes... the breast pump and sterilizer is bought but haven't opened them from the bundle yet .
What kind of baby toiletries will be needed?
GetawayJunkie
Well-Known Member
Baby toiletries I prepared baby diaper cream/bottom balm, hair and body wash, moisturiser and no rinse cleansing fluid (for sensitive areas like face and diaper areas). Using mostly Mustela and Burt's Bees Baby Bee products.
For yourself you may want to prepare nipple cream if you are going to breast feed, and also bottom spray as you might be a bit sore below after natural birth.

I prepared baby shampoo, baby detergent, and baby dish washing liquid. I will also be getting baby moisturiser (after day time baths), olive oil (after night time baths to keep him warm) and minyak telon (for wind). As for diaper cream, I will monitor first to see if he needs it.
Honestly, as a FTM, I feel we can never prepare enough to welcome a new little human into the house. So I'm trying to relax and if really need anything on the spot, I'll send hubby and MIL out to buy, lol.

as a FTM the chances of OVER buy is higher than not preparing enuff lolz ..
