But I heard from my fren that kkh likes to let the bb room in with the mummy. Is that true ?
hello. can share wat planning u all?
confinement nanny? maid, parents?
my colleague just placed at infant care, 4 months onwards-from 7am - 7pm Mon-Fri only. At $600+- after subsidsy
Dull cramps i think are ok...Thanks Bunny and Hi mei
The pain is a dull ache n not sharp cramps. I found that the pain usually comes after a meal, so maybe its really bloatedness...
I thought it is common in first trimester. Will definitely tell gynea when I see him again
Does it work for u? I am worried, cos gonna send my #1 to ifc soon. Like u, i prefer no helper or too much parent help too.I engaged a confinement nanny for 56 days. After which, i sent my bb to the infantcare. Mon to Fri from 7 to 7 and Sat 7 to 2 though i do not send my children there on Sat. I prefer to take care on my own then get a helper or enlist parent's help. More privacy in that sense and we can really discipline the children without any interference.
Can! Why not?Woah.... this thread is getting more active.

Ya! I had sore nipples from excessive pumping initially the first time and refused to breastfeed my kid. The lactation consultant kept coming into my ward to persuade me to latch. I was so annoyed. Lack of sleep plus sore nipples ! Argh!Its true. KKH is very very pro-breastfeeding and the nurses will keep bringing the bb to your room for feeding. Some of them will give u a "dirty" look if you tell them you are not rooming in. But dun worry, most of the nurses are great and friendly. You can tell them you wish to rest and will "pick" the bb from the nursery directly
But do be prepared that they will wake you up in the middle of the night to breastfeed the baby. If you dun want to breastfeed in the middle of the night, you must tell them every evening wor.
Huh sounds tough for u?Ya! I had sore nipples from excessive pumping initially the first time and refused to breastfeed my kid. The lactation consultant kept coming into my ward to persuade me to latch. I was so annoyed. Lack of sleep plus sore nipples ! Argh!
I took the rest. Try to latch but no milk. Then baby keep asking. Latch on sleep not sucking. Ended up give FM to supply heeheeYa!

My worry is that ifc will neglect them. Will cause bb to be less close to us?
Thinking abt it gives me sleepless nights. Wld appreciate if u can share ur experience.

Thanks! Hope my child's ifc can be as gd as urs. Got place liao.Definately! But i can only speak for the centre my children enrolled in. My #1 was sent to ifc when he was 3mo. I must say that the infant educarers at the centre are very good with the children. I tink the teacher-baby ratio is about 1:4? So there will be times when educarers could not attend to the babies' needs immediately and the babies would be crying. Personally i am fine with this becoz i can't attending to my baby's needs immediately as well. The educarers also talk and sing to the babies. I don't have to worry about them neglecting my baby. At the end of the day when i picked up my #1, they would give me updates. Or if i have qns, they will clear my doubts. Further, this centre brings in external vendor to expose the more mobile babies to music at no additional cost. As for baby not being close to us, as long as we spend enough time bonding with them when they are with us, it will not be an issue. My #1 still sticks to me like a leech. Lol. There is why i choose to send my #2 to ifc at 2month.
Another pt for your consideration is that sending children to ifc or cc may mean that they might catch d cough or flu bug every few months. So have to standby meds at home so that we dun need to visit the PD everytime it happens (with go-ahead from PD on dosage etc). My PD consoled me that it is another way of building up the children's immune system. But do take note of the possible spread of hfmd. My #1 kena when he was in ifc. But then again, a child can also catch the virus when he/she plays outside. So to me, its d same.
You have to weigh the pros and cons and decide if you can accept the cons. If ok, must quickly go queue coz demands for ifc are high esp in young estates.
Hope the info helps!
True lo, actually 1st time mummy everything also not sure/don't know, so never really do anything. Besides, believed it was out of good intentions cos breastfeeding was really better for both mummy and baby. In the end I persevered and though I did top up with FM, direct latching does indeed feel magical.hello, feel your pain. Actually you should state your stand very clearly to the overzealous lactation nurse and tell her very firmly that if she show up in your room again with you asking for her, you will lodge a formal complaint against her. Tell her you politely hate to do it but will do it if she continue to disregard your wishes. It is very unprofessional of the nurse to do that. Breastfeed or formula feed is a very private & personal choice of the mummy whom the mummy does not need to answer/explain to anyone her choice. Other KPO or so call well meaning ppl need to respect it & shut up.

If can, try to breastfeed. If really really cannot, don't stress yourself psychologically cos I have really been there done that (no milk for 1st few weeks, sore nipples, mastitis (saw the lactation consultant 2 times and fever), kenna "bitten" by LO). Cos I know some mummies got all stressed up cos of breastfeeding - what's the point?
Hi Rainbow, it is very early for u to start shopping as you dun even know the gender yet. Suggest u can start shopping after knowing ur baby gender. For me I will only start shopping ard 7mths.hello MTBs, I just got my positive BT result last week. I'm wondering how soon should I start buying baby stuff? I'm still waiting for my first scan to see the heartbeat... can't help but be a little worried that something might go wrong with my pregnancy.
Can share when you girls start doing your shopping?
Same EDD 21 Aug too!yup, we (my wife) now at 18+. 30 march for detailed scan. likely we only end july then proceed. Edd 21 Aug. likely early 1st or 2nd week Aug. Everyday keep count down. seems so longggggggg de
You can start looking online and checking out stuff but real buying I think more practical to start after at least knowing gender of bb or after first trimester when everything stable.hello MTBs, I just got my positive BT result last week.

I know it can be very exciting to buy baby stuff...maybe you can start with neutral colours like green or yellow or white clothes / rompers.hello MTBs, I just got my positive BT result last week.

It's still early but you can make a list of what you need and checking out the different brands first. Usually after detailed scan, you can start buying stuff. Look out for baby fairs. There will be lots of time.hello MTBs, I just got my positive BT result last week. I'm wondering how soon should I start buying baby stuff?

Hey Phantom, are you having a prince or princess?
Bunny, can share why were u grounded late 2nd tri? I only intend to get most of the remaining bb stuff at 5-6 month. Then the mum's nursing essentials early third tri. Is this too late?create a list of things U need to buy and research on the brand or model U want. You can start buying at second trimester. I don't suggest buying too late because by third tri you may not have the energy to shop long hours and dr also don't want you to stand or walk too long. I was grounded late second tri so luckily I have bought most my stuff.
Detail scan at 1130am and then see doc in afternoon on 30 Mar. Same same!
I got the Usbourne Sing-along Nursery Rhymes from mph@Parkway Parade. I prefer bb & children's book collection at mph than Popular.I was browsing and bought this one book on impulse. Actually no need to buy, because can also Google online and YouTube has many videos with songs too.

I can still go out but he said don't go to fair cos too crowded and if go out don't be out too long. Two hrs enough haha.I have high BP n high glucose plus twin pregnancy so dr want me to rest at home Incase of preterm labor. For most people it's ok to buy late trimester but I feel don't leave everything till the end cos U bound to have items that U miss out or can't decide and want to get it later.

5w3d is still early to hear heartbeat. U should be able hear at week 6 to 7. For now just folic acid will do. Dr will prescribe prenatal vits after week 12.Hi all, today I went for first scan at 5w3d. Managed to see yolk sac, but still nothing more to see for now. Next appt for scan will be 2 weeks later. Please advise, what are the things that I need to be aware or follow right now. Am I suppose to start taking supplement on top of the folic acid? Since after BFP, I've been drinking anmum chocolate milk every morning. Wanted to buy prenatal Blackmore's today, but I didn't as unsure if I need to seek advise from doctor first or not.
Thanks Bunny33.5w3d is still early to hear heartbeat. U should be able hear at week 6 to 7. For now just folic acid will do. Dr will prescribe prenatal vits after week 12.
Errrm actually my whole stay i just left bb in the nursery and enjoy... Haha.
BUT... If u wanna bf u must be hardworking to latch bb. My regret is that i was lazy in the first 3 days. Later hard to establish supply.
