Thanks bro. I surveyed few brands and most of them have car seat from new born 0-4 yrs old but I worried its too early to use right?
Since baby haven't developed the bone / neck and its quite soft to sit in car seat but yet I did saw some ppl use them for few days born baby.
Investing in baby carrier have hold me back since at most it can be used up to 1yr only...I dont wish to spend few hundreds on this.

Unfortunately I do not have friends or relatives to borrow.

just make sure the car seat can lie way back, so that the baby doesnt need to support the neck. i havent surveyed recently but normally those 0-4 years ones cant lie back so far. and make sure they are rear facing. because baby cant support neck. if you press brake their head will golek forward. so needs to be rear facing.

maybe you can get those stroller + baby carrier from sweet cherry. i think price is pretty decent. but you will need to get another carseat later on i guess.


either way. im using babyzen (knockoff one) stroller. still cost me RM500 or so but its sooo damn gooding. but for older kids.

I'd suggest to just 'pangku' the baby for a few months. You wont be going out much anyways as the baby is newly born.

In my case, my son was 4 months then i buy a Car seat, bought the one that is included with stroller. Don't have baby carrier up till now. would need to buy one soon though.. my boy is 10 months now. it depends on you actually and your daily life. Buy what you think is needed and dont spend much before your baby is born. that'd be my advice.

What you need to buy for now is 'buai', pampers abit, pampers is good for stocks as its non-expiry. but shirts and toys better buy once they are truly needed.

thats true. my son only left the house for doctors appointments for the first 3 months.

we live in Malaysia, i think almost anything is available within reach. if you in KL, almost anything can be purchased within the hour. what you should prepare is you and your wifes 'go' bag. so that you can live in the hospital with everything.

please note, hospitals discourage pacifiers or formula milk.

Yeah that is what I think also. For first few months don't usually go out since I scared exposed to bacteria outside.
Most is travel between home to hospital for regular check up only.
Hehe now its time for me to learn on parenting..
We will adopt a western style teaching becoz both of us hate seeing family with maid/parents feeding toddler or even pujuk them to eat.

if your wife going for cesar probaly she need 1-2 months to recover and sitting straight position .. make sure someone help to carry your baby when your wife discharge

if your wife going for normal birth .. shouldnt be any issue as it recover earlier ... chances she can carry the baby when she discharged .. but for safety reason .. get someone to carry ur baby..

i suggest you buy a good baby seat when the baby reach almost 5-6 months .. it will take roughly 400-500 for ok to use brand.. which can support ur kids till 3 years old..

4 years old above will use booster type .. my kids using car seat + booster till 7 years old..

pampers buy 1 newborn size will be sufficient .. go for mamy poko newborn .. as the design is good to deal with tali pusat of your baby for the 1 week. baby can use S size 2 weeks onwards...

dont advice buy play pen for your baby to sleep .. buy a baby crib and good tilam .. also prefer to buy baby crib that can extend to support ur kids till 2 years old .. ikea got .. little bit pricey but is worth

I love posts like this! Just be prepared man, for ANYthing. when my son was born he was actually warded for 26 days. I spent my raya in the hospital.

Just don't be scared and do what you think that is need to be done. you are the man of the family after all.

He was born really small.. Just be patient, patient and patient . Good Luck Bro!

what is western style of parenting for feeding kids? i thought they also pujuk toddler? thats why got aeroplane spoon (which i really want to buy hahaha).


my wife did the c-sec. on the second day. doc forced her to walk. seems thats the tip for fast healing. after 3rd or 4th day can walk around without support. best not to sit for too long after c-sec. for full recovery took a month or 2, but dont need to sit up straight i think

yes, play pen sucks! we had one for downstairs whilst his crib was upstairs. he never can properly sleep in that thing. and also dont wanna play inside haha. i bought my crib and mattress i think was like RM1k but the side can be removed when the kid is older and supposedly can be used till 5 years old. i think really worth it. one time investment but good quality goods. ikea ones are good but small (so maybe till 2 years), plus a bit low and maybe get backache. if possible get those multi level ones that can adjust as kid gets older.

my baby born on 3rd day of raya. hahah. spent that few days sleeping on the hospital floor. kesian kena warded 26 days. for baby and parents. cant imagine how delicate he must've been. my baby oversize but also feel so delicate...

New father check in here. Baby born about 2 weeks.
Just asking did your wife got super mood swing after delivery? My wife give me silent treatment despite I jaga her from delivery and baby at night.
This is frustrating man.

Congrats!
No silent treatment. But take care of your waifu. Look for signs of post natal depression. Chances are her hormones all over the place. If BF some people say it helps her recover too

You are doing good for taking care of your wife and the baby at night. Keep helping and offer her some encouragement. I know it's frustrating but just bear with it.

My wife was super emo after her delivery. very sensitive one. it should be fine. maybe she's worried or smth? don't try to pry too much tho.. it never ends well.

Last 2 days ago I confront her and talk nicely. Finally we manage to sort things out. Now so much easier to interact with smile and laugh.

We did have some small argument and she did cried a while. I believe sometimes we need to speak it out with proper manner.

GJ dude !!

if she breast feed might be sometime she in pain on her breast as sometime naughty fella suck to hard. that may stress out ur wife

I am so nervous now..my first child will be born next mid month. Hehe

congrats man

just make sure a bag is packed with wife clothing towel tooth brush n pasten ur clothing n wife maternity pad and put in ur car..

boy or girl? which hospital?

dont forget some snacks, you aint gonna be sleeping. dont lah bring potato chips. wake the baby and your wife will kill you.

also bring a sweater for yourself. damn cold that place. especially if you going into the op theatre if opting for c-sec.

and if you got money, recommend you buy nipple cream for your waifu. if she plan to breastfeed. need to use it a few weeks before the baby to 'strengthen' the nipple before the baby attack it. hahah. but a bit mahal. i bought and waifu didnt even use, she malas or whatever, burn that money. damn.

Haha thanks is a boy boy..Tung Shin hospital.

Thanks, Ohh..what brand is that? can apply during breastfeed? Chemical free?
