HI favored, ya I agree that when young, relatives take care of bb is better. But too bad, my PILs are now not able to take care of my 2nd one. That's why looking around for nanny or infantcare. When I sent my eldest son to childcare at 18mths, think his immune system couldnt take the shock and he fell sick quite often. So i'm of 2 minds about this coming 2nd one also.

Try to go after 3pm, as 11am - 3pm is considered morning sun.
I normally go at around 5-6pm. Btw, you can try TPY safra swimming pool, it has water heater inside the shower room. Bring along a few toys/balls for the kids to play with!
I'm looking for a toddler bed for my daughter, hope I am able to persuade her to give up her bb cot to her little brother... keke!

Sunny, the pureen shop at KK is still there. Selling at $9.90. I used that detergent also.
Jasmine, favored, white lady and 7/11,
The huggies dry packaging has changed and the no. of pieces per pack has been cut by 4. So M is 80pcs, XL is 56 pcs. The lady din tell me until she deliver it to me. But still much cheaper than the supermarkets.

Hi all
Thank you everyone for your feedback on where to get the Pureen 2in1. Most appreciated.
Jasmine, 7/11
We didn't go to the pool either. I thought about going at 11 when the sky was nice and blue but thought it was too hot. Then right on cue at 3, the sky clouded over. sheesh..
Dor, why dont you bring your girl to try at Isetan?
Do note that since it's thermal wear, it's thicker than usual and therefore may be more difficult for your girl to pull on. This doesn't necessarily mean that it's too tight tho. With my divesuit, I sometimes struggled to put it on, but when in the water, I can feel the water "swishing" between skin and inside of the suit which defeats the purpose of "thermal" wear...so my 2-cents suggestion is to let your girl try it in the water or under a shower first before you make your decision (maybe wrap plastic round the price tags etc first if you think you may want to return ?
)
Precious, just checking - did you mean to say 'afternoon sun'? Cos I always thought that morning sun was okay, even good for us.

Between 11am - 3pm (my mistake, is afternoon sun), it is best to avoid. Advised by a skin doctor.

Yep, member of Padi. How often I dive...
not for the next few years? months? unless I find a nice resort with childcare or my mum agrees to babysit hehehe.. Used to dive every few weeks when I first started, then got bored and dived once every other year or so, then got married, got my hubby interested and actually went for a diving honeymoon. Was actually planning our annual dive trip when I found out I was pregnant!
But I digress. To answer your question - Redang, like Tioman is not bad. Both are a bit overcommercialised for serious divers but for those starting out, they're quite okay. Good also cos they have other activities for non-divers. Otherwise, you may want to check out the Perhentian islands (slightly to the north of redang - they were developed later so should be less commercialised.) - Cant input v much more since when I last went to Perhentian, there were only v basic wood huts and no piped water.

for me i got the 6-12mths when my boy was 3 mths coz after 2 tries at hua xia... then we had the courage to bring to public pool.... but there is a rather big allowance as there is a wide velcro at the tabs so can make it last longer.... (actually think that the swimwear can fit for up to 18mths loh) actually my boy can still fit his swim wear but i was thinking to buy another to standby leh... so then if he needs it i just take out of storage loh.....

Dor, I work in outram area... the gym too far for me :-(
yikes, Dolphingal - how do you know today is the last day? Oh dear I didn't know that. Was procrastinating as usual. Think I will sign up with sichida for one or 2 terms and see how it goes from there. It seems to have worked v well for my niece and nephew.
I have a float which my SIL passed to me. I put Kimberly in when I want to rest but really, I think it's better to do without the float, esp if your hubby can be around. With the float (double float ring, plop body in type, with legs wiggling in water) baby has so many barriers between her upper body and the water. Did you check out the "bringmeup" swimming link I pasted earlier?
Bathing - err...I dont bath her immediately from the pool since even the kids facilities have only showers and cold showers at that, I think. Didn't really explore too much so can't confirm this. Basically for me, its bring-up from pool, wrap in towel to avoid winds etc, find sheltered spot (canteen table), strip swimsuit, mop dry, change, towel dry hair. I guess you could use a wet towel to sponge Sky 'clean' first. Bring a big rubber changing mat since there aren't many/any large flat cushioned surfaces around. You may want to bring at least 2 towels for baby and another one for you cos the first towel used to wrap baby may be soaked wet by the suit. You may also want to wrap one towel around yourself after changing baby since holding dried, changed, baby to wet mummy is not smart...no prizes for guessing how I learnt this... kekeke
next- this should seem obvious but bring stroller/pram! We drove, parked and carried baby in the second time. Didn't cross our minds to bring the stroller down from the boot. Luckily my hubby was there. If I had been alone, I have no idea how I would have dried and changed myself after changing baby, so stroller is another must.
What else - sunblock. I got this 3-bottle pack from guardian (forgot the brand) comes in pink bottles - has a separate block for body, face and a spray for scalp. [The spray doesn't seem that effective tho - tried only once so far]
I give baby a quick warm bath when we get home.

popping by...been MIA for so long.
I brought my son for his first swim at 3 months. He was terrified...so out of the pool wihtin 15mins.
2nd time was at 4 months, he loved it! and he can actually use his sister's swim float.
I was closed to buying the neck float for him, but thought later how often would I bring my kids to swim. Then the neck float will be under utilised, so dropped the idea.
Got him the similar swim float as his sister 2 weeks back from kiddy palace and he fits in nicely, ie able to support himself with his arms. Of course must still standby in case he "drops" down to water..hee hee.
I didnt get any swimsuits for him yet too, too many choices! So I just dressed him up with a sleeveless top and swim diapers nia.
