Hi Panda - you mean the one sold at the class? Its Avent Baby Bottom Balm. Its not nappy rash cream, more like lotion. cuz Mrs Wong said don't use nappy rash unless bb has nappy rash. Normal times can use the bottom balm lotion.
Working wife,
I didn't swim as much as previous pregnancy. Sometimes I will play in the pool with my toddler, take a walk or packed my stuffs. I moved house when I was 34 weeks. I unpacked over 40 boxes and climbed stairs in my new house. After I moved, my GD reading became better. Was very busy. Managed to settle down before I popped 2.5 weeks later. I took mrt till I popped. Ha..

Panda - she wasn't selling the nappy rash cream. But from the tube she was using during the demo, it seemed like she was using pink color cap tube. If its pink color, then I think its the brand Drapolene.

panda - yea, thinking of buying the water temp thermometer. Issit like normal thermometer?
Singapoh, just a ques. When u control yr diet, did yr reading go down to normal level or still remain above normal? How much was it at the high level if u remember? I did my test at home this morning, still high

baby,
adding warm and hot water to make fm is cos of old chinese belief that no good to drink cold drinks, bb will get wind etc, so even the milk give to bb should be warm.
but if u follow western way they just give fm at room temp. when older they even let the kid hv it cold.

Working wife,
Yr body need time to adjust. U just started yr diet plan right? Maybe need few weeks to stablelize. Also start a food diary. Jot down the food that gives u high reading.
My highest was 8.6 2 hours after main meal. I called and asked. I was told to walk around to bring down the level.
Avoid all hawker food except mixed rice, Yong taufu (non deepfried) , food with thick sauce (cornflour is very high in sugar) Limit yr root veggie. Coke zero is allowed but it gave me high reading so I avoided it. I had soda water instead.

True also... Hmm... But of cos the latex feels more comfy cos softer... The husk one more hard.. I will thk abt it..
I hvt buy the water thermometer yet.. I wonder is it necessary.. Cos i believe u will only use it initially.. After which base on experience u will know the right water temp...

Sorry for the late reply for the message you posted regarding OGTT the other time. I did OGTT cause I am under GUSTO, not because my glucose reading was high.
Anyway, if your routine test at KKH shows abnormality in your urine test, you will be scheduled to do OGTT.
Lucky my report all came out normal.. all the fasting and yucky drink is all worth it. Remember, at all times, you must have plenty of water.
I am a thirsty hippo.... hehe.

PandaWife,
Somewhat I dun think the thermometer is essential. Cause you dont put your baby directly into the tub, you have to clean the eyes, facial, those delicate parts first. And by then, baby would have got into contact with water liao... just try to slowly put baby in. I trust our hands to feel the right temperature.

Pandawife,
I m also leaving the baby to my helper, mum and MIL... so I must really trust those people who is going to take care of her.. hehe.
Most importantly, I will remind them not to bath in my room, cos it is kinda windy here. Better bathe her behind closed doors & windows in the our toilet.
Most of the NB babies that I have handled before enjoy taking their baths... it is only their cries that I cannot comprehend. LOL

Pandawife,
Your MIL very short cut leh.... I am starting to worry for you.. hehehehehe.
My mum is a pro-nanny.... She handles all her 3 grandchildren.. now age 4 - 15yrs old. I have full confidence in her.. except that she is turning 60yrs old this December, I feel very "xin tong" that I can't let her "xiang fu" at her age. That's also one of the reasons why I hire a maid 2 years old ago to help her with housework, though the kids she is babysitting are not mine.
But now, since I will be having my baby, my maid will move back to stay with me. And go my mum's place when we are not at home. If my mum were to bring my nieces over, my house will be really crowded and I wont have enough rest at home.
Somehow I have to work out something.... and gives everyone a role. LOL

baby i haven't bot the mattress yet. Latex does feel better than the husk but when i was at tangs, the salesgirl did tell me another supplier (not the shears one) told her that husk can promote blood circulation and more cooling. And if happen bb urine seep thru u can was the husk mattress. I am still not decided what to get....i worry the husk mattress will have bugs =p
nancy i bot the avent liquid talc at robinson yesterday coz got 20% off and i have robinson card, so further 5%. Also bot the avent nipple cream, coz the tmc instructor mentioned avent and medela nipple creams need not wash off before breastfeeding.

When the weather is cooling , I will prepare warmer water. If it's a hot day, I will giver cooler water lo. Dun hv to be the same temperature all the time. My boy can even bathe in room temperature water without fussing.
I wash their backside with room temperature water since they were 3 weeks old coz outside can't find warm water.
