Can you believe how fast it's flown by?? He's going to be 8 months soon! HEheheheheheh and when I first got to know him, he was 5 weeks old!
There is a Baby Fair at Mid Valley 26-28 Nov so we're going to have do our shopping then - the list is endless I think......cos we haven't actually bought anything yet! Yeah, mum keeps nagging at me but I do have baby clothes and mittens and booties and hats and towels and hankies all sorted out! So we need some big ticket items like the cot and bedding, stroller, play pen, room furniture (that's from Ikea), liquid wash for baby's clothes and baby himself (my cousin who has experience with babies recommened Lactacyd and also Cetaphil - for when the baby already has rashes - apparently alot of babies nowadays developed skin conditions due to the scents or whatever in lots of babies products - including some very famousssssss brands!), bath tub, milk bottles (especially for water feeding), baby monitor, baby carrier, wet wipes, cotton wool, ear buds, blah blah blah loving the First Years baby carry basket idea, what else?....probably get the cloth diapers too.
JH will probably tell me to just get the big ticket items cos the small ones won't be much different in price and can be bought anywhere - how come guys always think like that?
Apparently Lactacyd Baby Items are very popular in the Philippines - don't remember having seen it here! I also read reviews where mums loved the Earth Mama Angel Baby brand which is super expensive I think. But it's supposed to do wonders for everything from diaper rash to mama's zits!
I definitely want to breast feed and have been looking up milk pumpers but also read that not EVERY MUM needs a milk pumper - I will definitely have to get one though for when I go back to work - although better to buy it then to save on warranty time. Avent seems to get good reviews while Medela seems to suck - hmmmmmmm...I mean suck in a bad way.......from user reviews on the Net so.....
Mum also reminded yesterday that I need to pack a bag for the hospital already. And FIL asked me where we will 'check in' for delivery and which floor to go to and all that at the hospital - which is a FANTASTIC question in deedi - o!!!! Will have to check that out - we've gone on a tour of the hospital but that was ages ago.......
I should also look at registering for pre natal classes huh! Maybe Mamalink.com.my or Jenlia apparently quite good too - I will need the one where they teach me how to breathe and how/when to push.....Mamalink's 6 class course is RM600 with RM20 for registration (WOW!) AND! she also does Home Visits at RM200 (DOUBLE WOW!)
The Jenlia one apparently costs RM310 - their website doesn't seem to work very well for me so I think I have to call themlah - now is perfect time for me to attend....hope they aren't full.
(Wah, the more I read, the more afraid I get)
And I won't get to go on holiday before going back to work cos Ju Han already said he's full up till March 2011.

Char boh...no need Lactacyd Baby wash one ler....normal baby wash can liao...unless ur baby developed sensitive skin, if u wanna be safe just use sensitive skin or lightly scented...or Johnson's is good enough...but if u want the nappy rash cream i can get one for u when i get back...from here one...very good...
Wow! 8 months!
They are right, you will definitely need to read up and go for the pre-natal class. A friend did and highly recommended self hypnotism and she said it was the best thing ever happened to her. It is not only used for child birth but also in any other daily life activities as well. She is a very sound and rational lady. So, it must be really save...
Do you plan to take any type of pain killer available - epidural?
I'm sure you will be fine... everyone mum says that! :) Good luck and can't wait to meet your little boy!
Zoop made a very solid comment - if I mollycoddle baby boy too much now, he will be very sensitive eh? So I guess I should just take the middle path!
Lisa - good of you to pop by! Yeah 8 months already! Yowzers! Hypnobirthing is what it's called - don't know how popular it is here....don't know if there are real experts at it here.
