yes

never really considered at this time. but if i did emmigrate i'd look at canada instead. a bit far though...

i opt for nz.. u can check the degree fees for nz pr https://uoa.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/6858/

do you know that nz pr wont expired... not like aussie... if all my 3 boys want to study dr or lawyers bankrupt... but with nz pr that is achievable

i wont say emigrate..as i wont give up my malaysian citizenship

not bad. but if for studying can consider many european countries which have free education and you support cost of livign only? many kids may consider leaving country for education, just to 'grow' and be 'independent' which i think is good. if you emmigrate there for education and that happens then dunno lah heheh. i think better to focus on living standard. never been to NZ so cant comment. but i didnt really like AUS. but NZ really looks beautiful. get them to work hard for scholarship

I've been to Sydney only and I love that place. Beautiful, clean and not too hectic.
NZ has always been on my "must visit" list and I know some relatives living there and they are REALLY enjoying life there.
Me and my wife has been talking about migrating a lot these days, to either AUS or NZ, but those are just dreams at the moment which we will need to do a lot more to achieve. Really not that easy in terms of dollars and cents (sense as well)...

The alternate plan would be to get our kids over to study, and pray that they would succeed in life, then probably we would have more chances to head to those places for "holidays"... So just have faith and pray hard la...
HAHAHA

is up to individual n i agree not easy decision.. as it involve family members... but my case ny parents pushing me to go..anyway will go there 2-3 years and come back

i been to nz n sdney n few countries business trip bringing my wife ..both of us prefer nz than aussie..

as i mentioned nz pr is a non expired visa... as i am eligible points to apply i will try ..hehe. once i got it.. my kids will get pr status as well.. so i plan for their future as well..in future ur kids might not get a degree or not doing well in studies whatsover.. at least they have option to work in nz and medical is covered by nz govt..

remembered i not giving up my malaysia citizenship..hehe

Hey guys! I'm also 2 weeks girl husband and father. I'm still adjusting especially the financial.

Those more exp how much u spend for baby per month? I calculated roughly milk powder is rm250 per month base on past 2 weeks. Diapers how much u all spend? Any others?

y not feeding her with breastmilk, its free with many benefits.
Diapers depend on how often she pee and poo.

Congrats. The cost really does hurt haha. But Breast milk is free! Plus you don't so sakit hati when baby doesn't finish the milk... diaper normally will change 6-8 times per day. Roughly comes to about 4 packs a month can be low like RM80-250 depending on brand. Staying around the 120-150 range is good. Unless your baby very sensitive and need mamy poko

Trying to breastfeed but so far production not so much still need formula milk

Ah. Been there. Can do both. Wife eating any supplements? You should ask her to take some halba tea. Can get the seeds from most grocers. Rm2-4 per pack

lol...children growth spurt rapid, thats why still hunger for food. Its normal......

Yesterday dinner, my daughter consume 3 steam bun, 1 banana (7pm), 8pm- me & my wife dinner, she consume half wantan noodles. Get ready to sleep around 9.30pm , 1 bottle 11oz milk, then start to jump here and jump there on the bed, within 30minutes want milks again about 5 oz.

Her appetite are growing rapidly

NO worries about growth spurts cause I believe in homes these days they are never short of food.

which brand of milk ur daughter drink? enfa most exp.. s26 n snow cheaper abit

Ya I give her enfalac cos hospital born time give her this

normally below 1 yr old categories milk no disc..

I actually top up Frisolac if baby is wanting more after breastfeeding on mum's both (.)(.)
But sometimes, due to first of confinement Breast milk supply could be unstable because of emotional and hormonal issues.
So just keep on latch on!

because gomen dont support formula below 1 year. so companies cannot promote. gotta wait at least stage 2.

Good day para ayah,

Ada sikit pertanyaan, mind sharing the frequency of changing diapers for baby?
- Tukar bila penuh?
- Tukar ikut time interval (tidak penuh pun tukar)
- or lain lain, etc berak...

Thank you.

for my son. if berak, definitely tukar immediately.

but otherwise its like this. normally confirm 5 nappy per day. if berak or minum banyak tukar up to 7-8. thats why i use cheap PetPet diaper. even i use mahal one, my wife insist tukar so many times so might as well guna yang murah hahah. no need the high absorbant technology blah blah

830am - bangun tido - confirm tukar
1030 - makan buah, check, if kencing, tukar
1230 - makan lunch, confirm tukar
230 - sebelum nap, check, if kencing, tukar
430 - makan buah, check, if kencing, tukar
630 - makan dinner, confirm tukar
830 - mandi, confirm tukar.
930 - tido, tukar (night nappy).

oh and bila tukar, he always berdiri (kalau baring, nangis) so bila tukar also tell him kencing and he will kencing what ever he got left in the tank hhaha. quite ok lah. 19 months old.
