- original marriage cert, your IC, hubby's IC if you wanna register baby birth at KK
- you can use your hp and laptop at KK, so you can bring those and chargers

I'm taking flight with my parents. Long journey tiring for baby. Gotta keep it short. I just need to make sure I latch my girl during take off n landing to ease the pressure.

Mummies using electric pump,

Do you prefer pump breast shield with massage silicon or just the plastic ?
If you do not massage n just pump will it at one stage not able to pump out milk?

I notice when I use manual pump I will need to compress at different sides to get milk out. Otherwise purely pumping single drop also difficult to get when the letdown has ended.

Don't get what you mean. But even with electric pump, need to adjust the intensity as well as massage to get optimal results.

May be you give your baby more water ? let them pee out the bilirubin..
did doc said wat cause the jaundice?
the bilirubin level is high inside their body so need time for them to pass out, either by poo poo or peeing..
don't worry , she will be fine

I did ask doc whether giving baby water or sunning him in e morning will help n she said never to give baby water in e first six months. Esp for BF babies. Sunning doesnt help too she said. Just cut out e herbs n ginger. So i'll try it n see how.

My mum agreed to stop giving me ginger n herbs but my mum-in-law doesn't believe lor.
In fact, she says my fever n sore throat is due to me catching a 'chill' as i shower often n don't wear sweater out of house. She says should eat even more ginger n herbs to counter-attack e effects!!!
Omg... I'm so glad i'm not staying with my in laws.

Shower as in with the herbs or just with water? Actually the weather is very hot, if never properly hydrate ourselves, will get sick quite easily.

I am staying with my inlaws.. :(

Nice hairband! Yesterday was trying to wear hairband for my girl since it's her baby shower. Then her head toosmall, and u realised her hairband became her choker lol

Hehe Thanks. I bought it from this online shop called Shop Online for Baby Products - Little Toez n Kidz Singapore - Home . Actually the band in the pic is too big for her, just that the angle of the pic taken, made it look like it fitted her nicely. Lol. I bought 2 other croquet ones which fits her nicely. You can consider. :)
