Hi mommies! come in late today coz my boy was awake almost the whole day, only nap like 5 mins here and there [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
Bubblebath: About baby carriers, there are quite a wide selection at the novena shop (
http://www.babyslingsandcarriers.com/). the last time i went, my LO was abt 6 weeks old n there's limited options coz some of the carriers can only be used when baby's neck is firm. Now when you go, you probably have more choices.
I'm using an Ergo baby carrier now, like some of the mommies here. Like it very much, no backache nor shoulder pain [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] design wise, it's almost the same as the manduca at the novena shop but i think ergo looks nicer somehow. but for Ergo, I need to use an infant insert. But it works better coz for manduca, even tho it doesn't require insert, when i tried my LO in it, he looks so uncomfortable coz there's little support for his neck. But I'm looking fwd to the time when my boy's neck is firm n I can do w/o the insert! If you r very interested in Ergo, i think Metro paragon has it, so do go try it first (give them a call to confirm they carry the brand so u don't make a wasted trip).

Anyway, my hubby like yours, also worried the carrier wil become a white elephant. But nowadays, when we want to go Orchard, he will tell me to use the carrier coz stroller is not as convenient
He even offered to carry the baby in the Ergo. Oh ya, i wld say that Ergo design is not so 'feminine', so men usually don't mind using it. Carrier is also useful when u travel overseas [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
If u wanna buy Ergo, can give u the contact. They will deliver to your plc. Can ask the person brg along a few diff colours to let u see which one u like n he will teach u how to use.
Jessie: I like taobao too! Tho I don't buy anythg there, i just love to go n see what's available [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] quite a few of my frens in SH/BJ also shop online at taobao a lot. Do u know if most of the sellers at taobao sell to buyers overseas?
hehe.. i'm like u, always tinking about my work. Sometimes, even when I'm playing with my LO, i will wonder when i can get back to my wk. Can't help it, i love my wk as much as my baby leh.
smalldreams: i'm a writer/translator, even before i was pregnant, i wld wk late at nite. I write better when it's quiet all around me [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
