1st time daddy, son come to join the family last tuesday.
Enjoyable moment so far except wife experience with confinement centre, looking for alternative but seems like most of the centre already full house.

Good thing is yesterday checked up it dropped till 180. hopefully there is more to drop.
need to bring her to do bloodtest again tomorrow.

would like to know, usually can i skip for few days only do check-up ?

Guys .. can i bring 6oz milk in a plane. whats the limit for liquid now? i forgot leh..

Hello dads!

I'm gonna be a first time dad in 3 months...super duper excited AND scared shit...reli dono what to expect.

May i ask...what are the basics that i can buy for both mom and baby after delivery?

Cots....strollers..bedding ?

Sankyu!

Limit is 100ml per container of liquids..up to 1 litre in total.

congrats bro.

theres a lot bro. but dunno what you got already.

if you buy a cot, get one which can change levels. its easier on your back. as baby wont be able to escape anyways. other stuff is like breast pump, nipple cream, many many of those thing cloths... dunno what they are called. we had around 10-20. can find in jusco baby section. get a wrap for tummy, after delivery the baby's umbilical will still be there. so wrap tummy to prevent it from sangkut. other stuff is like oils, creams, powders, baby bath tub. shampoo (get organic for newborn, expensive, but lasts a while as only need like 1-2 drops only - later can just switch to cheapo one if you want). jus my 2sen

stroller too early wait baby 3 or 6 months then survey..

mamours 1u had huge sales. dunno if still on. damn cheap car seat. maxi cosi cheaper than my sweet cherry hahahah.

That sounds lik quite a number of things! Thank u for listing dem bro...

Ok noted...thx for d tip

Has anyone chosen to save the cord blood ?
Think i saw a couple of adverts when i went to d clinics...

Serious bro..U know when it will last until?
I'm surveying for car seats too. Looking for brands such as Graco, Maxi Cosi range..

not sure bro. maybe finish di, but maybe not.... but i saw one maxi cosi there for <RM300 or was it less than 400... but damn cheap

Do check out online, e.g. Lazada. Can get good deals for good brands, also can apply discount coupons.

i got 3 boys.. all subs to cord blood..

first stemlife.. second cryocord ..third cellsafe

should be around 5k for 21 years. ..after 21 yrs ur kid will decide wether to continue storing..

but of course we hope we not going to use it

my graco car seat being used almost 11 years.. for my 3 kids.. and now used by my niece..

i thought take 1 cord stem cell already enough?

Noted on the price...and yeah - hopefully none of us hv to face the possibility of havin to use it. Just an insurance policy la...just in case...god bless

sibling 75% can use.. shouldnt share lah.. should buy individual so that 90% chances match..

i got one girl punya kawan she died of leukemia.. and she told me now next generation got chance to keep should opt for that.. u got money doesnt mean you can found bone narrow that match you

Please find out and understand more on the cord blood thingy before you decide to get it. I keep the cordblood with cryocord for my elder boy after visiting their center in cyberjaya. From my finding, it is most likely usable if my other child (except my elder boy) needs it.

The cordblood is not suitable for the donor itself as it is the very same blood for the case of leukemia. It won't be able to save the donor itself.

My wife and I had planned for that and we were financially ready for it, so we just store it just in case needed, or maybe it could save someone's life in the future.

If your financial condition allows, no harm getting it for the first baby. Not recommended to get it by installment though.
