hi Jamie,
ya i'm expecting a boy =)
Catherine,
ya, have to bring own front-button sleepwear or top for easier breastfeeding as their hospital gown are tied at the back ones.. so not so convenient.. =) i saw they do provide diapers so.. think maybe if you want, just bring a couple just in case.
i went to the hospital tour at gleneagles recently.. most imptly is bring
- some nightgowns with front openings,
- maternity pads,
- underwear of cos =) (preferably maternity bras)
- jacket for your husband (as operating room can get very very cold)
- toiletries, if you prefer your own ones (but hospital do provide)
- baby mittens and booties, clothes as hospital do not provide. they only provide the wrapping blanket..
think that's abt all ba... =)

Good morning all,
Catherine,
As Kelly mentioned, the hospital gown is not breastfeeding friendly, so it's good to bring ur own front-button gown. Other than wat Kelly has mentioned, if u want ur baby to sleep in the same room as u, u might wanna bring along a long sleeve n thicker clothes for ur baby to change into at night cos the room is very cold.. my baby was shivering when she sleep in my room until i changed her to thicker clothes.
They do provide maternity pad also.. but won't be enuff and it's those tie kind not the stick on the panty kind... so better bring ur own. What the nurse there teach me was to use those stick on extra long pad (use for night time during menses) as the base then put the maternity pad (tie kind) on top so no need to tie... then u just change the maternity pad can liao.. the stick on pad only need to change if kena stained...
The pampers NB diaper n wet wipes they provide should be enuff for 2 days.. I don't think u need to bring extra. If not enuff then ask your hubby go buy lor. This way u need not bring so much stuff to the hospital.
Also, when u discharged, ask them for formula milk. It's the pre-mixed kind in glass bottle... just need to screw on the teat provided. This come in handy if u have prob breastfeeding initially at home. Don't feel shy to ask for more.
Kerlyn,
The dark color n large nipple will stay til u stop breastfeeding... ur breast will get bigger also so if you wanna buy nursing bra, it might be good to wait til ur last month or buy 1 size bigger.

Zanna,
wow they provide pre-mixed milk in glass bottles ? sounds good leh.. heehee =p i think will need to get quite a few to last a few days leh if really got problem breastfeeding.. if got prob breastfeeding, can arrange for lactation consultant to come over ur place to help ? or need to visit hospital again? do you have any idea?
u mean need to wear 2 pads in total ar? so we jus buy those stick on kinds ? the tour did advise me to buy those tie ones though..
hehehe so fortunate to know mummies like Zanna and jamie who have delivered in gleneagles before.. =) at least we can feel more prepared .. =D the hospital tour doesn't cover every details =)

Kelly,
Yup, they do provide, it's what the hospital use to feed the babies if the mummies can't breastfeed. The lactation consultant can come ur place or u can go back to the hospital to see them but both ways you gotta pay for it n it's quite exp... tat's y i say make good use of them during ur stay cos it's free =p
I wear 2 lor.. cos maternity pad not long enuff.. it might leak at the back cos we lying down most of the time mah. The stick 1 i use as base and the tie 1s i just put it on top. The tie 1s is thicker so it's better as u'll bleed a lot during the 1st week... some more it's more convenient, no need to keep tying n u tying when go toilet. The stick on 1s tat i use as base no need to change so often, i only change the tie 1s tat i put on top... also the tie 1s are so much cheaper than the stick on so this way can save $$ heehee =p
Also another save $ tip is if u r staying in a 1 bedder n ur hubby intend to stay with u, no need to let them know... cos they charge $65 (if i remember correctly) per nite for the hubby to stay over... just tell them tat ur hubby not staying overnite but he can still stay cos they dun check, especially if ur baby bunk in with u, the nurses won't come into ur room at nite unless u ask for them so they won't know if ur hubby got stay overnight or not.

zanna has more or less brief u on most of the things which u can expect in GlenE liao.
i also wear 2 pads at a time coz it absorb more & wont overflow lor.
my #1 was by natural birth so i find my bleeding (lochia) is more compare to my #2 which is by c-sec. so u may want to get your own stick on pads coz the ones hospital provide ones are those loop kind. abit troublesome to use

zanna,
so what does the baby wear if you never bring thicker clothes ? How many sets to bring ? I'm having c-sec so I think i would be there for 4 days.
I read on another thread u can ask them for the glass bottles. Got one mummy ended up with like 30 bottles
So just ask them before discharge ? Can keep how long ah the formula ?
the maternity pad sound serious must wear 2. wow. So the sleep wear is it better to get the 1 pc or 2 pc type ?

the hospital do provide clothes for bb. i only bring 1 set for discharge.
since u r having c-sec, the nurse will put on the loop maternity pad for u & change u, so u dont hv to worry lah. just bring some stick on type for your discharge.
those ready made FM can only use once, if bb cant finish u hv to throw away.

Catherine,
The hospital will let the baby wear the normal short sleeve body suit. The hospital also didn't swaddle the baby cos I was told tat the nursery temp is higher than the rooms cos it is heated. So they dress the baby according to the nursery condition. Only when u ask then they'll swaddle the baby. I brought 2 sets cos I nautral, only stay 2 nights. But I think 2 sets for u wil be enuff cos 1 set can wear 2 nights, u only need the thicker suit at night, day time can wear the hospital body suit and swaddle the baby will be enuff. If u don't have the thicker bodysuit I can pass u my gal's cos she s'pore weather so hot she no need to wear so thick liao.
I believe the mummy asked for empty glass bottles to store expressed breast milk... u can ask for these empty bottles if u intend to express ur breast milk for storage. But I find them take up too much space, I store my breast milk in breast milk storage bags. The formula can keep a few months... they have the expiry date stated on the bottle... but as jamine mentioned, u have to discard once u open them.. even if baby can't finish the bottle. yup u just ask from the nurse when u discharge.
Sleep wear I bought those 1 pc.. cos I find it easier, especially when go toilet... hee =p

Catherine..
wow 30 bottles? can ask for so many ar ? heehehhe.. =p
i was thinking initially that i would also store in storage bags.. but it's only use once then throw, disposable.. save space lo.. but need to keep buying if you breastfeed for long.. my fridge like no space.. haha.. i heard my colleague even went to buy another freezer jus to store breastmilk.. cos she bf for quite long..
ya the formula if you store in freezer can store for a few months.. jus remember to discard the milk if the bb can't finish.. v impt..
i saw the nursery at gleneagles is quite warm, with sunlight.. so i guess no need to bring so many clothes ba.. i jus bought 1 fleece blanket.. hope maybe it's enough if baby comes to my room.. maybe i just layer with more hospital blankets if bb still feel cold =p
Zanna,
i saw in nursery they'll swaddle the bb in blanket leh.. hmm ask u, is it alright for bb to sleep in air-con room? i was thinking during confinement, whether can switch on air-con or not =p

Catherine..
are they cotton material? hmm i think not enough leh.. =p i believe Zanna referring to those thick, fleece suits i think =)
the tour did tell me they loan breastpumps for us to try out during our stay.. means we can't take it home to try.. not sure which brands of breastpumps they using =p

Catherine,
Mothercare long sleeve will be good enuff.. not enuff then swaddle and cover with blanket. not sure Glen can rent breast pump or not but u won't need to pump til after abt 3-4weeks unless u got prob latching on cos breast milk supply won't be alot initially but will slowly increase.
Don't worry too much abt breast feeding, as I say, don't feel shy to ask the consultant for help during ur stay.. and most importantly must be patient and don't give up. I have a lot of prob too initially... end up with sore nipples n bleeding... now i don't latch on... just give expressed beast milk...
Kelly,
i also bought a chest freezer for my breast milk cos my supply is quite a lot n my frigde not enuff space...
I think no prob sleepin in air-con room... cos in hospital also air-con liao... just need to keep bb warm. My bb also sleep air con room some time.. but not everyday cos she always got stuffy nose when sleep in air con room.

Kelly/Catherine,
Fenugreek is a supplement that will help increase breast milk. Can find in GNC, a bottle of 100 capsules selling for $29.50. If u r GNC memeber ur 2nd bottle is 50% off. Need to take 2 cap, 3 times a day.
Kelly,
Ya lor, over supply is good.. cos can store the extra for next time when I wanna stop breast milk... the extra can last her for a while.
I think air con ok lah.. just dun blow direct at u lor... if not so hot how to tahan. I have the fan blowing at me everyday during the confinement =p I also bath 1-2 time a week but with the herbal water lor.
CL now very exp.. abt $2k.. so if ur MIL can help is gd lor.. save the $. Most impt during confinement is eat n rest well... so if ur MIL can do the cooking for u should be good enuff lor.. but u will take care of the bb by urself during confinement? U cannot touch water leh... who will bathe the bb? Must really take care lor... i carry the bb too much during confinement, now i got pain on both my wraist.... doc also can't do anything cos i breast feeding... gotta tahan the pain.

Kelly,
It depends on u lor... cos ppl say during confinement can't touch water mah so can't bathe bb but if u dun believe tat then it's ok to bathe bb by urself. I did bathe the bb myself some times when my mum not free to do it during my confinement . I don't really follow all the dos and don'ts of confinement.. i still touch water, i also go out to buy bb stuffs, i hav the fan blowing at me all the time... I only follow the eating part strictly, i.e. no cold food, no cooling stuff.

aiyo think i'm the worst here. i bathe & wash my hair everyday during confinement. sleep in aircon room at nite ... i believe in keeping myself clean as i'm handling the bb 24hrs a day wor. my mum did the confinement for me, i didnt engage CL, so ex leh.
my bb sleep in the same room but i adjust the aircon vent so it wont blow directly at him.

Hi kelly,zanna,jamie,
I have a maid at home to do the hsehold chores. My mom/hubby both can cook. MIL say if need her to cook, just let her know but someone must go collect cos she's looking after nephew so cant go out. So my job is mainly to take care of baby. As for the bathing part, I think I won't be using the herbs etc. (Is it ok not to use ? I also dono what the herbs are) I will like jamie be bathing everyday So far my mom and hubby dont seem to have any special request on me for the confinement period.

jus tot of an idea.. maybe ask my hubby to bath the bb when he comes home from work.. hopefully he'll help =p bb doesn't need to bath so many times a day right ??? =p jus need to clean his private parts properly after urine and poo..
haha.. alamak.. i heard so many ppl also saying cannot touch water, cannot bath cannot wash hair.. but i guess hard not to touch leh esp wash hair.. my colleague said got those powder for you to 'dry-wash' hair ? haha dunno how it works actually.. maybe i'll try ask my colleague more abt this..

Kelly,
If ur hubby can help will be good. I bathe my bb every morning and wipe her down at night b4 puttin her to bed.
The chinese medical hall got sell those herbal bath pack for confinement. Just boil it in water and use the water to bath... I use that to bath 2 times a week during my confinement and I use boiled water to wipe down everyday... I guess the reason cannot touch water is worry the water go into ur body then u will have aches when u r older.
By the way, do u intend to do post natal massage?

Ya my mom very modern one
and my MIL well .. she's quite modern too. But cos I dont live with her so ok la. I heard from other mummies if you use the herbs, it's better to get a new pot cos your existing pots may have oil residues etc ..
Re: post natal massage

Catherine..
hehe i dunno leh.. maybe we can try calling up and compare prices now first.. if possible jus book when we can find one tat suits us? not sure abt c-sec though, and i think you should check with your doc/gynae regarding post-natal massage too.. ask him when and whether you can do it.. =)

wat i did was just boil a kettle & top up with water enough for bathing, but will still run through a final round with just water after the herbal bath.

Kelly,
For me, for wiping, I used boil water can liao... no need to use the herbal bath... the herbal bath is use for bathing.. my mum will boil 1 big pot, enuff for me to take a bath without adding tap water. And like Catherine say, must use new pot cos old pot not clean.
For post natal massage, I book mine 4 months in advanced =p kia su.. scare wait can't get the massage lady I wanted. You just call the massage lady and let her know ur EDD and after u deliver, just give them a call to arrange the date to start.
