Hi Mummies, We are in the 3rd trimester!! Hang on!!! Do you know if it is advisable to bring along a breast feeding pillow to the hospital? Recently received a hand-me-down breast feeding pillow with no instructions. Anyone have any idea how to use it? Will the lactation consultants at the...

If we take leave before we deliver, is it out Annual Leave or Maternity Leave? My colleagues are recommending at least 2 weeks before EDD.

Oh no, my feet is swelling too.. Thought it was normal!! Any mummies have recommendation on shoes? I've been living in my crocs and now my feet have swell so much that they are too tight :(

Hi Karelia, My husband tested out the Baby Björn carrier at the Motherhood fair. They had this "fake" baby that weighed about 6kg with limpy neck, arms and legs so you can practise on how to put the baby in the carrier and how to take it out (especially the part on supporting the neck...

Hi mummies, Went for detailed scan a couple of weeks ago, we'll be expecting a princess in Oct.. Cannot resist the sweet pink dresses!!! A friend is handing me her breast pump, but I felt it is important to get my own set of "consumables" (things that are abit more personal??) Saw some...

Hi, Are you still selling the cloth diapers?

Hi Mummies, FYI: there is the Robinsons Expo Sale now on at Singapore Expo. My colleagues suggest going there to get good bargains on baby essentials. I do not know if it's too early, but since our EDDs are in October, we can make use of these sales (GSS coming too!!!) to get the baby stuff!!

Thanks for the advise WinterSun!! Any advise on where I could get my hands on the traditional white cloth diapers? Went shopping over the weekend and was shocked at the pricing of the more modern cloth diapers. Was thinking of heading to Chinatown but worried about the quality. Did you do any...

Hi, Can you please advise how much you are selling the inserts for? 1 pocket diaper and 1 insert is definitely insufficient :( The pocket diaper can be reused but the insert has to be changed once every 2 to 3 hours? Planning to cloth diaper my baby, at least while I'm still on my maternity...

Hi, I have received some suggestions to wear those wireless bras?? (Ahh bra / Genie Bra / etc ) It seems to help with the growing boobs and soreness.. Maybe you want to give it a try?

Congrats on the good results! I'm back in SG and will see my gynea tomorrow. Will ask about the 2 scans!! Have a smooth-sailing pregnancy :)

Thanks huiqin83! Did you do the test at the gynae's clinic or you had to do an additional appointment? It is not a compulsory test it seems. Mums below 30 may choose not to do it since the risk is naturally low or are there other factors involved? Hi weeeii, The result is mainly a ratio to see...

Hi lexar, I'm using yu yee oil to help me with MS. It's like my drug - will dab a little on some hanky / tissue and keep sniffing it all day as it helps to relieve the nausea / giddiness / MS. Do you know where I can research on it's ingredients to see if it's harmful? Did not know that...

The examples are great! Helps to understand the different spring cots. Are they more dangerous than the wooden cots / play pen? Was wondering which has more "mileage".. As the baby grows older, they will out-grow the wooden cots and play pens. But the spring cots are more flexible in the sense...

Hi mummies, I am currently overseas. Last saw the gynae at week 10, by the time I return to sg to see doc again will be week 13. Is it too late to do the Oscar scan? What about the detailed scan / blood test that some mummies mentioned? So far I have not done any tests. When is a good time to...
