Ginger,
I like to get my pork supply from the stall facing the fruit stall & coffee shop. One stall that many pple freq.
As for Vegetable, cos I only cooked on weekend so I dun stock too much. I get either from the two guys or the stall opp of him.
As for the fish, stime I get from the 1st stall or the 3rd stall (a couple), the fishes are cheaper there.

I didnt know our GP downstair offers 5 in 1 and 6 in 1 vaccines and they are so much cheaper than you have them in PD clinics.
Anyone knows is there a difference?

But dun know if the GP will do the necessary accessment or not...(which is in the healthbook)
You know?
You know?
Hi all, my DS went for his 6 in 1 vaccines @ healthwise (next to 4D shop). pricing is reasonable. juz charge on dosage but no consultation fees. & fresh dosage meaning when ur kid is due for ject, juz call & they will prepare as they dun keep stock. as for assessment, the lady doc will do all the necessary accessments listed as in the healthbook. & after completion of all jects, will give a cert for us to keep & she reminded cant lost it as next time when DS pri 1, needs to provide. i personally find her not bad as she got 3 kids & can gives gd advices. in fact she did more than what is required in the accessment. giving tips on feeding & diapers when my DS was juz a few mths old. now my DS is gg 3 yrs old.

Thanks wkltay, ya this is what I want to know about. Cos I just saw a mother bringing a new born bb to her for the 5-in-1 injection. So I curious went to ask and surprise to know she also provides such service.

So want to know if there is any difference lor cos difference alot mah.

Mesh,
u can check the content of the milk powder. Infact, most of their cotent is almost the same.
Smart - hmm i think depends. If u are refering to the intake of DHA and AA. I think most milk powder do contain that. Else, u can feed the kids with lots of oily fish.
I believe alot of simulation helps in the kid development.
Taking jabs at PD clinic is not cheap cos they are specialist so their price is a bit higher. For jabs, I think any clinic is ok. It is the doctor that counts.

Fong2,
I did not go to the Pasir Ris Baby and Child Clinic as I couldn't get hold of them during the holiday seasons. No one ans the ph. So I went to another PD in Tampines instead. She charges $115 for 6-in-1/dose and $90 for 5 in 1 per dose and she only accept cash.
Mummies,
Do u noe of any good and reliable baby sitter near our place? Thks.

BTW mummies, regarding 6 in 1 vaccines. I realise its still not cheap if I compare GP and PD. I have forgotten that the rate Healthwise quoted is based on per dose. In general, for whole package, they are charging around S$360 excluding consultation fees.
Whereas when i checked my son's usual PD, they are charging S$399 excluding consultation fees. So actually not much difference.
Also I see that different clinic offer different dosage. Healthwise gives 2 doses for 6 in 1 and 2 doses for 5 in 1 whereas my son's PD gives 3 doses for 6 in 1.
Anyone expert here? What's the difference?

Hi Mesh, frankly this is the 1st time that I'm sending my daughther to a child care centre. Not sure whether she will be able to adapt too.
Where do you stay?
Agree with Gen, I feel that Healthwise is better. The dr and nurses are more kids friendly. My girl got all her jabs there. The only setback is that the queue is much longer, so recommend to go there to take queue number 1st before bring the kids there.

pony,
not sure abt the childcare ard our area. I send my kids to Tai Pei Childcare at Lavender street. Why going all the way there? 1st they are not expansive. 2ndly, the place is very clean. 3rdly, it is a classroom concept so will not disturb other students. 4th, the teachers are ok. (althot some look very fierce but i didnt hear my kids complaining abt the teacher).

Hi Aqua,
Yes, I intend to send my daughter to childcare. My other child is 7 weeks old. My mum can't handle 2, so have to consider childcare.
Hong,
That's cheap. I called up Young Talents, it is $325 for full day.
Jen,
Thanks for the lead. Is your kid in childcare too?
Btw, any SAHM here? I'm currently on maternity leave. Thinking of setting up a small playgroup for my daughter of 19 mths.

NTUC full day CC is less than $400. I cant remember the actual bill cos I dun go online to check periodically. But if I am not wrong, its slightly less than $300.

My son has been there since he was 18mths. So far ok la.
As for the construction site, initially we also quite worried but we didnt bother too much. Actually its not a major construction as there was no tearing of building.
Their meals are mostly inside the building so it's really not a major problem.
But now the site is close to completion, so it should be ok liao.
However, you may want to got for a site visit to experience yourself. You may or may not like it. We are only give opinions lor.

Checked out Young Talents, it is those typical neighbour childcare. Currently about 7 kids to 2 teachers, going to increase to a max of 12-15 kids. My daughter went round playing the toys and checking out the rooms and gate clashing into classes. Oh my god! But it seems that she like it.
Any body have views on whether I should toilet trained my daughter before sending her to childcare?
