Working wife yes use the California baby cream, I bought it from the bulk purchase here coz cheaper than buying from Robinson. I used it on my gal's eyebrow coz she had something like cradle cap there. Dried yellowish thicken skin. N when she has red rashes I apply too. Seems to work. The instruction on the tub says use for eczema too

Grumpus, I really hope i can manage after maid leaves. Moreover you have two, I only one. My gal is too adorable, I can't wait for her to grow up and talk to me.
Before my maid leaves, I will ask her to clear all the stuff inside the kitchen cabinet and storeroom. We didnt clean this CNY as i was still in confinement. So that there is no heavy chores for me when I take over.
I feel that the most difficult part of babysitting is almost over. Ie, the night verdicts when she was still in her first month. If we can overcome that, the rest is really nothing.

Grumpus,
I hope I can work out some fixed schedule as she grows older. For cooking wise, I only stick to boiling soup and another simple dish. Nowadays I don't do heavy cooking, as I don't know when she will start to fidget, and I need to carry/pat her. You know what I mean la...
You know, hubby and i are easy with food, sometimes, I will fry one packet of bee hoon with cabbage, carrots and eggs. Enough to last myself, hubby and maid for two meals. hahahaha
For housework, next time, I will have the rest of the day to do... this one no hurry.
keeping my fingers crossed!

Baby, sit up in gym? no lah... she only sit on the rocker, lying 45degrees. but i notice nowadays when i carry her aft her milk, she likes to force herself to get up. she exerts so much force until she spit out some milk sometimes. really cannot tahan her.
but when she is on the rocker, she entertains herself by talking to the toys or staring at the windows, as if there are some fairy godmothers waving at her. lolz

Baby, the rocker that she's using also comes with toys leh. She can touch these toys already.
Be careful when u r feeding yr gal while eating. Some of the tables corner r very sharp. I also can eat while holding her. I m still learning since i hv to cope alone next time. But I will refrain from ordering soup stuff like ban main to avoid using both chopsticks n spoon. Must learn to eat with one hand.
My gal has been awoke since 1130am. She din cry for milk. Her last feed was 8am..... Now she is staring at her mittens until she get cross eyes. So cute!!!

Gan,
My housework very agar agar one. Every morning I just clean the floor using those magic clean mop and dump all the clothes in the washing machine. Dried clothes just pile up on the sofa, hv time then fold, no time just fish clothes out from the pile sometimes in the evenings when hb is watching tv he will help to fold the clothes.
After my girl has her bath, I will use the bath water to agar agar scrub toilet floor and toilet bowl.
Lunch we usually eat da bao food. Dinner either hb cook I wash up or I cook hb wash up.
Once every 2 wks my mum will send her maid over to change bedsheets and do a more thorough cleaning.

Hmm did u try to talk to yr parents abt it? I also tell my mother off when i see she is spoiling my maid.. I told my maid if she need anytin must come ask me or my hb.. Cannot ask anytin frm my parents..
What kind of food demands yr maid make?
My maid also have certain food needs.. Like she need o drink coffee everyday and have bread for bfast which i find reasonable..
But showing black face is something i cant tolerate.. I will sure scold my maid if she show me attitude.. But so far so good!

Panda, Baby,
When I hired a maid for the first time, my mum told me to give her nap time everyday. I did it but never put in black and white. After awhile I told her I can't let her nap everyday.
After she left, my mum said she is unhappy coz She claimed that I "promised" her to let her nap which is very untrue. She also started waking up late. Sometimes I just closed 1 eye. She was supposed to wake up at 7 am. Then I changed her timetable, asked her to get up at 6 am instead coz she couldn't finish her morning chores. She wasn't very happy. She even change her own timetable without asking me. She said when she worked in Malaysia, she woke up at 8 or 9am.
The moral of my story is never ever listen to anyone who has never hired a maid before (my mum)!

Its really so hard to get a good maid... Its really a pure of luck...
Luckily my maid is quite automatic.. She always wake up ard 5plus am everyday even when we told her to wake up at 7.. She will begin her morning chores of washing bb clothes, our
clothes using washing machine.. Then she will hand wash her clothes.. By the time i wake up.. She aldy done all the above and wiping the living hall... But now that she is helping me with night feeds i let her sleep longer.. She will wake up abt 7plus..
Sometimes its really hard to guage what to give and what not to give.. Sigh..

Baby,Just Faith,
When u treat them nice, they climb up your head. My housework maid wakes up at 6 am and zzz at 9 + or 10 pm.
For babysitting maid who zzz with my gal, she got no timetable. She can zzz from 9 pm till my gal wakes up (anytime from 6 to 8 am) She doesn't drink in the middle of the nite and zzz thru most of the time. This maid usually helps the other maid and zzz at 9+ She also cooks for everyone. I told her if she is tired, she can take a nap but so far she never. She said when she worked in Hong Kong, she zzz at midnight and woke up at 6 am. Did all housework, tc of a baby and an older child. Zzz with the baby. I think this job is easy for her now. Ha

Gan,
Actually, I resumed working after CNY. But I find the property market is really quiet now. Hubby is now serving most of my existing clients. Initially, when hubby and myself are not around, my mum will come over to our house to look after our gal, with the help of my maid. But I see my mum like getting old liao, she is not as agile as last time. When I need to be away, hubby will be at home, and vice versa. My mum has also cut down coming to our house, as our gal is bigger now, and we can manage on our own.
Hubby and I have numerous discussions on this. After maid leaves, I will have to stop working completely to babysit my girl. My mum need not come over anymore. I still have my hubby to help me if he is not tied up with work. So, meanwhile, I am trying to complete some of the unfinished courses that I signed up last year, which is ending on 31st Mar officially, so that I can get a refund of course fees from company. heehee.
