nancy,
yes, most mothers dun intend to give pacifier but sometimes really no choice.
but my girl wasn't easier to care for even after giving her the pacifier cos she didn't like it! so really depends on yr bb. u prob need to hv one standby. if u bought the pigeon sterilizer with the newborn starter set, think it comes with one pacifier already.

Ya.. Very unlucky right? Wahaha! My hubby nearly fainted when I told him warranty expired 1 day. Yes. They gt 1 to 1 exchange de. So mark down the expiry date.
grumpus,
Is it? Stroller and car seat also got warranty? I didnt know leh... Yalor, so suay lor. Then the avent guy offered a 30% off for a brand new set cos warranty just expired. I didnt take it cos at that time gt robinsons sale. Cheaper to get at the sale.

I also dun intend to give de. But my girl cry and cry so much my mom say will have colic cos suck too much air, so no choice, give.. After giving, my girl can be pacified more easily. But prob is, now she is still using.. Hai~ Hard to get her off it. Plus now I got 1 extra prob. She wants to choose which one to suck everyday. Really wanna faint. My girl always got a lot of ideas on her clothes that she wear, her pacifier etc. Wanna choose herself. If she dun get what she wants, she'll make noise. Very headache de...
For #2, If I can, I wont give..

hahahhaa, yr girl even choose which pacifier to suck everyday, so cute. do u change her pacifiers often so that she dun get too attached to them? my mum told me pacifier and bottle teats must do that otherwise next time very hard for them to change.
i think deciding their own clothes and shoes is normal at this age. my girl also, so we compromise. i choose the clothes she get to choose her shoes. she loves picking her shoes and always pick matching matching one leh...

Grumpus,
The prob is there are a few that she likes. So when I buy new ones, she will want me to buy the same colour and design. So its like replacement lor. Then everyday she'll tell me I want yellow, I want blue, I want fish.. Aiyo.. Clothes also the same. She can wear the same set of pyjamas every day also not tired, cos she likes. Then if my maid didnt managed to wash and dry the clothes in time and she cant wear it, she'll make noise till I give her another alternative that she agrees on..

Pandawife, yes TMC has daily bathing class when u stay there. For breastfeeding u can call lactation consultant to go to your room n guide you. Even the nursery nurses will guide you.
But if u wanna know how to sterilise n wash bottles n teats properly u must attend the prenatal class. Will u join the TMC FBI ? If yes they will give you 3 books on all these. If u think u can jus based on the book then not necessary to attend the prenatal class unless u want the execises.

I was reading the books and find them quite comprehensive. TMC also have breastfeeding class while u staying there. The lactation consultant are very helpful and u get hands on with ur baby after u deliver.
Do u think it's necessary to attend the classes? I may need a c sect since it's twins so the breathing exercises may not apply..hmmm

Grumpus,
Maybe really is boy leh. Since haven confirm yet... But u do hope to have a boy right, since your #1 is already a girl. Your girl and the bb's bday so close. Maybe might fall on the same day if bb comes early.. Mine even best. My #1's bday is 18 Dec, #2 EDD is 17 Dec... Keke~ U're with Dr Sheila Loh at RH right?

nancy, yeah lor.. haha.. care says dr cheng is very gd at doing oscar scan n the detailed scan, so recommend i see him instead of going tmc. only see him twice.
most of the time is paragon n tmc.
vi, i will sign up for FBI club... the content of the books are similar to what will be taught during the classes?

Pandawife n Nancy, although I also new mommy but I didn't attend all module because I don't wanne watch the labour, n my gynae only allowed me to go for walk for exercise then swim.
Breathng exercise I don't find it necessary especially for both of u very confirm will go for c sect.
Tell u what when u go to pay for the class ask them again about only attending 2 modules. Because why I can n u can't le? So weird..
For feeding n bathing, good to go actually for your hubby because can learn all the different method of carrying baby, how to swaddle. If u have hubby who only listen to his mom n your mil is old fashion type then good to bring him n her to these 2 modules plus the dr talk. I tell u it will save your time arguing with your hubby, mil, mom on what can do n can't do for caring baby n confinement care.
So there... My purpose of attending the talk n modules as above
because I can tell u whatever u learn u will forget by the time baby is out. I keep referring to the books lo. N I still don't know how to swaddle. Ha ha...

also wanna check with gynae what's his views. coz if he says i can only walk oso..then no point learning the exercises too..
the books sounds very comprehensive too...
but u r right about bringing mil there..very good idea! hahaha....

hahahaha ....there will be a lot of washing in the beginning. i used to have a load of nappies to wash everyday. and dun forget the folding after the nappies are dry.
as my girl got bigger she pee less often then i washed my nappies every alternate day but in between have to soak in soap water otherwise will stink!
u can get cloth nappies anywhere that sells bb supplies. taka fair, robinsons, kiddy palace etc etc

Gan, taka fair hv but more ex than the neighborhood shop. Depending on indiv preference, tt time I dun intend to use cloth nappies other than a wrap. Planned to use pampers diapers through out. Coz cloth diapers lots of washing n no maid n if bb's poo stain the nappies, it is going to be difficult to wash it till white.. Unless use bleach which is a no no for me..
Grumpus and hAzel thanks... Washing can use machine right? If I use the lining I read in earlier msg the poo won't stick to the nappies so often right?
Hazel initially I was thinking of using disposable all the way but seems line nappies better bb will have less rashes?

Gan,
some ppl dun like to wash bb things in the same washing machine as ours but i washed mine in the washing machine and used very hot water. didn't have any probs with stains. but it's a commitment lah, i hv a pail of soapy water stand by then everytime there's a soiled nappy i will throw into the pail to soak. if it's poo i will roughly scrub it under running water first before soaking.
then once a day wring dry the nappies and load into the washing machine.
after machine is done have to hang out to dry.
then after dry have to collect and fold and put liners. i usually do the folding after my girl sleeps.
not all bbs hv sensitive skin lah. some bbs survive perfectly well in disposables and dun get rashes too.

Gan, use machine to wash. But separate load with ur hubby's. If u dun go out during confinement can wash together but once u go out, separate from bb's.
Well, washing is one headache. Drying Is another. Remember u r living in an apartment now, n intend to use dryer.. But after tt also need to air a while..
My mum insisted on cloth diapers when my nephew was born. After a few wks she surrendered.. Bf bbs poo m pee very frequently.. Washing is alot of work.. N she is fussy, the nappies must be washed till white! So, we switch to pampers diapers, as for nappy rash, quite okay leh, coz she dun save on diapers, once wet will change.. Wun wait till full then change.. U r n engineer, will know that nappy rash comes only when bb's butt is soaked for a while. Is science isn't it? The 2 kids at home nv have nappy rash issue.
Like wat singapoh shared earlier also, when wipe bb's butt after poo /pee, hv to use water not dry tissue as it causes abrasion n fiction.
Even the powder, if use on the butt area, must also be very careful.. If bb's girl, shld avoid her pte parts. For boys, hv to avoid his penis.. If can't be careful, then dun use powder at all..

Gan,
btw i dun have a maid, i stay in hdb flat and dun hv a dryer. i hung my girl's nappies on those drying stands in the living room. but i stay on a high floor so it's very airy. if i wash in the afternoon by evening is dry already and i can keep and fold after my girl sleeps.
it is very tiring though, there were a few times i fell asleep before i could keep and fold the nappies. fortunately my hb did it for me.
so is important to hv family support too.

drying the nappies is also a challenge..coz my service balcony very small.. i might end up like grumpus...hang in the living room balcony...

I'm wondering what kind of detergent to use for washing diapers? Is the baby detergent too mild to remove the poo stains on diapers?
Must we use baby detergent to wash the baby's clothes all the time or can we use normal mild detergent?
I only stock up 30 pieces of cloth diapers for 2 babies. I'll try out to see whether we can tahan the washing first before we get more cloth diapers. Otherwise we will use disposable diapers instead.
