Hi guys, last night me and my wife went for window shopping for formulated milk for pregnant @ lactating mother. Planning to get one since the pregnancy is entering 7th week.

The problem is, my wife is lactose intolerant. Basically anything that contains lactose (a form of sugar only found in milk) will cause diarrhea. We look for something that's of soy basis instead of cow's milk, but those are only available for infants, not for mothers.

Any of you can recommend a brand, and where to buy? Or is it alright to consume milk that is marketed for infants?

Thanks!

eight months can start some solid food like blended porridge...

i dont recommend walker .. it wont help child to walk .. put ABC map if jatuh pun not hurt so much

my son got TH, but dont put in money that often. but ada lah, duit raya, or some cash given from friends and such. but ada lah. sikit sikit jadi bukit. but if you have the funds, can do one of those FD type accounts. my cash is unstable so dont wanna commit to those.

yeah. can open a TH account for the kid as long as you have an account at TH as well. mine just got RM50 inside. M2U can transfer money to TH account, but not sure about automatically. The cost is RM1 per transaction if im not mistaken. well maybe 1.06 now. You need to register parent and child account at the ATM first. then can use online facility after 2-3 days verification.

i wouldnt say that RM20/month will help too much. only about RM4.3k at 18yo (w/o interest). but its better than nothing. can cover some costs or maybe DP for car? or wedding. heh.

I am considering moving my sons account to ASB though as the rates are better. went to TH initially just because ASB previously didnt accept babies. or something like that. but now seems they've opened up.

no prob. can help where i can. if you are bumi you can open an ASB account easily with a max limit of RM200k. but to my knowledge need to go to the bank to do it as they will give you a passbook. i opened super long time ago when i was only like 12 yo. so dont really remember if can open at all banks or need to specifically go to HQ. but if you are in KL, just go in the morning to the HQ. got free parking and i think they open at like 830am. i went there to replace my lost books. and dont have to wait long at all like 5-10 mins all settle. should be roughly the same.

if you are non-bumi then im not entirely sure, there are shares available, but not sure on the process and seems hard to get funds, that one need to ask in the ASB sifu thread in finance section of LYN.

anyone of you going to labor room ? my exp nothing to be afraid yeah..

i been to operating theater for first son ceaser n seconf n third son labor delivery room

i think normal electrical shops sell those 250v adapters. but if not sure. just take it to the kedai tepi jalan type of electric shop. they should be able to test for free. jgn beli and then memang adapter no problem haha.

i believe jalan pasar pudu should hvae..that place famous of letric parts

My suggestion, spend time on google, try to find any jln. pasar kedai letrik etc phone number (for sure you will find that adapter)
Then, can ask their help to post it to you
Btw, hello fathers!!
This is my first post in this thread

Hoping to learn a lot from all fathers here!

I have 1 daughter 15m.o,  -- she's a joy but she is not able to walk yet, can stand herself holding coffee table or first step of stairs..
I know some girls 8-9months walking already

So fathers (and mothers here)..How fast your toddler start walking?

my advise is go borrow the baby carrier & car seat from someone for the first 6 months.

for newborn the stroller and car seat have certain requirements. like need to fully lie down and such. best to borrow from someone for a few months and then invest in a better one when your kid is a bit older.

now at least got pretty good selection of things from Sweet Cherry (local brand but made in china). pretty decent quality and cheap. im using sweet cherry ISOFIX carseat. i think its from 4kg and up. forgot.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

Hi Guys, I just gotten this tommy tippee bottle warmer. Its quite large and can keep the heat in very well, as well as convenient. Easy for us father when taking the baby out alone and it's time for feeding. Got this from 11street as they are having some discount now, plus with vouchers got this under RM50 when mothercare selling for rm105. Recommended if you have not gotten your flask+bottle warmer.

Get the vouchers to get it cheaper
