[atinarin]

hi bubumama

 

[nanschia]

wah...nice topic today. to have or not to have.

i guess its more of a personal choice bah. in our times, we were very 'cheap' to raise. lol. easy to raise too. my mum was just commenting all the things that ben knows how to do now (like wave bye bye, identify objects, etc) were done by us when we were after 1 yr old! shows how much time she had for us when we were young. she had to work, clean house and no help too.

 

[atinarin]

any mummy giving their baby NAN3?
I have some sample packs, willing to give for free.
Expires 20th Sept.

 

[blueskye0909]

Atinarin: Think phoebe's ryann is on Nan.

 

[atinarin]

THanks BLUE,

[blueskye0909]

Atinarin: She will usually log on only late at night ... you can catch her on MSN.

 

[atinarin]

I am logging off now...

 

[blueskye0909]

cos dun hv to worry for #4, hahaha.

 

[blueskye0909]

Good morning mummies ...

Happy Birthday to Yan and Tristan!
Who else shares the same birthday as Jordan?

 

[voice_0229]

row! when you all ready for #4 can remove the IUCD right?

 

[rxsti]

atinarin, i switch my gal before she turn 1 y.o. SHe will be 1 y.o next monday.

 

[atinarin]

rxsti: oh wow so that means should be ok to switch earlier ya? My Similac only 1 tin left was thinking of switching so i need not buy anymore of stage 2.
I think basically its about the same ya just that some bbs take to new stuff more readily than others?

Looking forward to cheaper formula for 1y.o. bbs man!

 

[atinarin]

blue: u buying $950 worth of the NTUC vouchers ah?
I was thinking of but too much then she only wanna sell all to one person.

 

[highvolt]

hi mummies!
Happy Birthday to Yan and Tristan!

lina, blue, atinarin,
no lah, i don't care wat pple think of me much. just tat, when i read all my posts, seems like i am drawing up such a bad picture of myself.
ho hoho

err..what's IUCD??
Row, share share, cost, details! =)

 

[blueskye0909]

Atinarin: Yah, buying all. Cos always using mah ... very fast finish one. That time I just bought $1k also finishing soon.

 

[atinarin]

true true i spend $100 plus every visit to NTUC!
But to take out $950 at one go so heart pain...

 

[highvolt]

blue, atinarin,
hehe, i think if you buy FM, sure to reach 100 plus per visit.


lucky i haven't reach tat stage yet. madness.

nowadays, i go supermarket, i just stick to shopping list to avoid buying more than intended. help curb my spending.

 

[blueskye0909]

Aiyah, the money also "chi zao" need to be spent one mah ... haha. Buy few packets of diapers and few tins of milk powder already can deplete 1/4 of it easily!

 

[atinarin]

justme: my hb islike that...he will scold me for walking around and spending more...so i go with my mum and i spend alot...unfortunately its not his money im spending though

 

[atinarin]

blue: whats 'chi zao'

 

[voice_0229]

atinarin: 'chi zao' means sooner or later.

 

[atinarin]

ahh thank u...

 

[row]

Voice, yes!just remove when I am ready for number 4 hahaha.

Just, IUCD stands for Intrauterine Contraceptive Device. You can read more about it here.

http://www.kkh.com.sg/PatientHealthLibrary/WomensHealth/BirthControl/IUCD.htm

I initially wanted to opt for the copper one but gynae say potentially will have heavier menses so I decided to go for the one that releases hormones. Cost me about $600+ including consultation at Dr Paul Tseng's clinic.

 

[ecookie]

row: so this IUCD which release hormones is better than the copper one? heard that copper one may become rusty ! dun know true or not.

so when should you change it or it can stay in body till we 50+ and menses stop?

 

[ecookie]

justme: family planning doesnt mean you are a horrible mummy! dun think that way.

n happy belated bday to sarah!! and she is not slim.. think babies will slim down when they start crawling/cruising/walking...

 

[row]

ecookie, better to discuss with yr gynae the pros n cons lor, this one last for 5years.

 

[voice_0229]

Row, it's not that ex. hor, compared to Evra Patch.

 

[row]

how much the Evra patch?

 

[keithnhazel]

Blue : I am interested in ur gain IQ Kids. Can collet anywhere else?

mummies ... can i check what to put into baby and kid's goodie bag , and where to buy?

 

[blueskye0909]

Florence: Like where? Wanna discuss over PM or SMS? Keith now on Gain IQ Kid ah?

 

[voice_0229]

Row: Evra patch i think is selling for 1 box(3 patches) at $20+, i haven't been using that for a long time, lost track of pricing.

 

[rxsti]

voice, have you rcv the refund from lioele? I emailed her and sms her but she didnt reply....?

Florence, i jus finished packing my gal's birthday goodie bag for tmr party.... you can buy the bag from any party gift shop (bugis got 2 shops), i bought mine thru corrine from birthday express. I put in bb biscuits and lantern for bb under 18 mth old. For 2 y.o and above i put in chocolate, sweets, lanterns, pencil, stickers. Hope this will help...

 

[voice_0229]

hi rxsti
yup, i have received already. Yesterday in ST, home section pag 11, there's an article on this stroller spree which turned out to be a scam. Warned the public to be awared, that shirley was interviewed. hee hee!

 

[keithnhazel]

blue : Yup , keith is on gain kids. hehe

Rxsti : thanks. hehe will try for them in bugis. hehe

 

[highvolt]

row,
phwoar...that's quite a hefty sum to put out in one short. and thanks for clarifying on IUCD. I was supposed to meet Dr. Tseng today, but sarah didn't let me sleep a wink last night. and no wonder. SHe has 4 teeth emerging slowly on her upper gums.

hi ecookie,
hehe, yeah i know the whole idea of family planning is good. thanks. also, accepted the fact that sarah is a lean baby. healthy mah...haha

 

[blueskye0909]

Nowadays this thread is like "dead town" ...

 

[mummyfaith]

hi justme,
just wanted to let u know tat sarah is not the only baby who is not sleeping thru...faith has never slept thru b4 and till now also stirs a few times in the night to latch. i have already accepted tat there will be no gdnite sleep for me till one day faith can outgrow this habit
