cuba selak page2 belakang, rasanya dah ada list..

my list tak sama ngn org kat msia punya list kot, because I'm having a winter baby, so baju2 dia lain skek..

shinky_pinky

Hmmm bila baca storm punya list..perhhhh..jeles eden

Shinky pulak sekarang ni tengah listkan barang-barang yg hendak dibeli.
Hubby tak de kat sini, dia kat US, so shinky akan suruh dia beli kat sana.  Eden menglist kan jer lah..he he

Yg barangan utk berpantang pulak my mom kata dia nak datang, so dia akan belikan...so tunggu jerlah.

Tapi seronok beli sendiri kan...nak buat camna, kat pakistan ni tak banyak choice dah tu mahal lak tu...

eyzlyn

hehehehe.. aku yg dah kuar baby ni pun terkedek-kedek kena beli barang lagi. biasalah, salah beli, wrong size, tak sesuai, tak kena, tak padan dan memacamlah. nasib ada yg boleh pulang, yg dah terbuang plastik dan resit, sajer jer...

mittens kat sini hampeh betui la. tak user friendly. rugi beli. sib baik baru bukak satu pek, boleh pulang balik. last, pakai mitten import dari thailand. ( mcm kat malaysia punya gak). receiving blanket terambil small size, stok diapers kena banyak sebab once susu mula keluar, siaplah.. every hour duk tukar diapers...

antara benda lain yg bukan keperluan, tak ada pun tak apa, kalau ada pun bagus gak, mcm baby monitor. rezeki baby, ader org kasi satu semalam. so, kalau dia tido dlm bilik, kita kat luar blh dengar la suara dia. model ni blh dengar suara jer, yg latest model ada skrin gambo lagi.

satu lagi benda yg aku rasa perlu ialah cordless phone. since aku duk dgn asben, kalau dia kuar, aku duk dlm bilik nak ngangkat phone kat dapur memang tak kuasa la. dah la sekali nak bangun tu punyalah sakit. so, itu akan masuk dlm senarai shopping esok.

so far, baru belanjakan +- 400 Cad which is aku rasa terlalu sedikit bebenor sebab banyak barang yg hand down dan baby shower gift. jumlah ni akan meningkat lagi ler lepas ni.. standby jer...

bila mau beli stroller daaa....

Kakak Storm pun banyak guna Sweet Cherry gak..tapi baby2 dia pun tecik lagik...so tak bleh ler nak kasi kat Storm...yang banyak nyer kena beli sendiri ler all the bulky items nih..
Sweet Cherry pun ok gak...paling murah Storm jumpa RM99...but that one I doubted the safety...macam tak cukup kukuh jek...heheh...Anyway, price dia pun affordable...not too cheap...not too expensive also...;)
Same goes like Anakku...pun design dia bleh tahan cantik...:love:
Bouncinett tuh I realised memang berguna...sebab my niece kalau dia nangis..letak lam bouncinett tuh dia terus senyap n tido...tak tau ler plak bleh gegarkan otak baby...cos rasanya dia punya function mcam buaian jek...

shinky_pinky

Storm & Sultana,
terpaksa buat-buat strong...dlm hati Tuhan jer yg tau.  Yelah, ni first time i mengandung after 5 years marriage, so kena jaga bebaik.  Memang nak ikut hubby pun tapi hubby risau takut kalau masa flight nanti kandungan tak kuat ker...so katanya kenalah berkorban sikit.

He he...selalu nangis bila dia call....tapi tak pe, bulan January nanti dia balik...tapi tulah...menghitung hari lah nampaknya sedangkan 10 hari tu pun dah rasa lama kan? Anyway, hehari chatting ngan dia online..so tak lah terasa sangat (aku tipu nih...tak terasa konon) he he

Storm,


Maclaren mmg very well known and well built..
Kalau kat sini, yg suitable from birth model techno xt and techno classic..

kitorang dulu igt nak go for maclaren gak, tapi decided against it sbb baby nanti born in winter, so, sejuk...

kalau kat msia, sesuai la..

kitorang igt, baby besar skek baru beli maclaren, skang ni beli yg well padded sket, sian nanti sejuk..

most mothers kat sini bila anak umo 6mnths above mmg pakai maclaren la..and highly reccomended...

Hi all, got this one in the net. Maybe boleh dijadikan panduan and checklist untuk kita semua




Organizing some clothes for baby may give you a sense of order in the last few hectic weeks of your pregnancy. Wash items before the baby wears them, but you may want to wash only one or two of each type of item to start -- you may find that certain styles or sizes aren't right for you and your baby. Save your receipts, so you can return unwashed, unworn items to the store.

Look for easy-care clothes that provide access for diaper changes. Don't overbuy fancy garments; you'll find that your baby spends much more time in sleepwear, even outside the house. And you're likely to get a few cute going-out outfits for gifts.

Newborn sizes are too small for most babies, unless they are premature or low-weight. Size 3 months is actually designed to fit newborns up to 3 months of age; size 6 months is for babies age 3-6 months, and so on.

Obviously, clothing needs will vary depending on climate and season. You should adjust the following list to add or remove some warmer items as needed.

3 short-sleeve snap shirts, size 3 months
3 long-sleeve snap shirts with mittens over hands, size 3 months
2 snap or lap-shouldered shirts, size 6 months
4 onesies, size 3 months or small
2 onesies, size 6 months or medium
1-2 baby gowns
3 stretchy sleepers, size 3 months
3 stretchy sleepers, size 6 months
1 blanket sleeper (bag-style will fit for a longer period)
2 pairs crew socks, size newborn
6 pairs crew socks, size small
1-2 loose cotton sweaters
1-2 soft hats or bonnets
1-2 special outfits
2-4 small baby bibs -- to protect clothing from drool or spit-up
2-4 receiving blankets
12 plain cloth diapers -- to use as burp clothes and to cover surfaces under your baby's head (such as in a car seat or carrier)

With baby on the way, consider stocking your bathroom with some of these common baby toiletries.

Bathing and grooming: The basics

Baby bathtub -- a plastic unit to sit in tub or on counter; look for an infant insert, non-skid surface, and drainage plug
No tear or organic/natural baby shampoo
Baby liquid soap
Baby comb and brush
Baby manicure set -- including nail scissors, toenail clippers, gentle files
2 hooded towels
4 baby wash clothes


Bathing and grooming: Possible Extras

Baby-safe bath toys
Bath toy bag or tray
Bath seat -- for older babies who like to sit up in the tub
Baby visor -- to keep water and soap out of baby's face
Water temperature gauge -- a bath thermometer or bath mat that alerts you if the temperature is too hot
Spout protector -- some double as a bubble-bath maker
Plastic cushion pad -- for you to kneel on by the side of the bath


Medicine cabinet: The basics

Rectal thermometer -- for the most accurate temperature reading in infants
Petroleum jelly (Vaseline) -- to lubricate the thermometer
Liquid infant formulations of acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) -- to relieve pain and fever
Nasal aspirator -- to remove mucus from an infant's stuffy nose
Saline nasal drops -- to loosen nasal congestion


Medicine cabinet: Possible Extras

Natural colic relievers, such as Hyland's
Pacifiers and pacifier clips


Diaper supplies: if using disposables

2 packages of size newborn
2 packages of size small
Hint on disposable diapers: Don't buy too many of any one brand until you have the chance to experiment and see which brands fit your baby best. Also, your preferred brand may change as your baby grows and changes shape.


Diaper supplies: if using cloth

60-80 small cloth diapers if you're using a diaper service (but check first to see if the service provides diapers); you may opt for fewer if you're washing them yourself
Diaper wraps with velcro in newborn, small, and medium size
Diaper pins for extra protection


Diaper changing supplies

Changing area -- can be a specifically purchased changing table or any convenient surface with a secured, washable pad on top
Small bottle of olive oil or baby oil -- helpful for cleaning baby's first few bowel movements, which tend to be black and tarry
Small bottle of alcohol -- to clean the umbilical cord stub
Sterile cotton balls -- to apply oil or alcohol
Small mirror, music box, mobile, or other distraction to calm baby during changes
Extra receiving blanket -- newborns often don't like to be undressed, and covering part of the baby's body may make changes easier
Wipes -- if using disposables, aim for a brand that contains little or no alcohol and perfumes; or for reusables, have a supply of cotton wash cloths or small cloth diapers to be wet with fresh water
Zinc oxide ointment to prevent diaper rash
Diaper pail or diaper disposal unit, with a supply of plastic liners


Diaper changing extras

Electric wipe warmer
Lap pads -- washable flannel-covered rubber pads to protect changing surface


Diaper bag

You can use a sturdy backpack or purchase a specifically designed diaper bag with multiple compartments, built-in changing pad, plastic lining, and easy zipper closing. Stock your bag with extra diapers, wipes, a change of clothing, an extra hat and pair of socks, some soft toys and/or rattles, plastic bags to put used diapers in, a small tube of ointment, and sealed hand wipes or gel for use on your hands. Add bottles, icepacks, formula packs, and other supplies as needed.

Good info! Thanks katak...

While breastfeeding is healthy and natural, it isn't necessarily easy! For many new mothers, it is hard, physical work. But the rewards are plenty, starting with excellent nutrition for your baby and unsurpassed quality time for both of you. Here are some suggestions for making your new nursing relationship more comfortable.

Nursing station:

Find a chair that fits you comfortably, supports your back and arms, and can be yours alone for those first few months. Some moms like to purchase or borrow a rocker or glider.
Find a good nursing pillow, to elevate your baby to the right position. You might use regular bed pillows, or you might prefer a special breastfeeding pillow that wraps around your body, supporting your arms, neck, shoulders, and back. Popular brand names include Boppy and My Brest Friend.
Don't skip the foot rest. A foot rest reduces stress on your legs and back and elevates your lap for better baby position. You can purchase a specific nursing stool, use an ottoman, or just grab a cardboard box.
Keep a basket or tote bag near your chair, stocked with necessities; then you can easily move the basket or bag if you change your nursing location. Your basket might include a water bottle, non-perishable healthy snacks, magazines, pen and pad to jot down lists and notes, a cordless phone, plain cloth diapers to catch spit-up, and an extra receiving blanket.

Other useful items for breastfeeding:

Nursing bras. Try them on at your local maternity store to find one with clips you can manipulate easily with one hand.
Nursing pads. Pads inside your bra help you avoid wet, milky marks on your clothing. You can buy washable pads of soft cotton or disposable pads.
A nursing shawl. Some moms like a special shawl or cover-up for nursing in public.
A tube of lanolin. Lanolin soothes and heals sore, tender, or chapped nipples.
Breastfeeding books or videos.
A visit with a lactation consultant. This is a great gift to give yourself: Sign up to have a professional lactation consultant come to your home, watch you nurse, and offer you advice and support.

Pumping supplies:

If you are interested in pumping and storing breastmilk, consider these supplies:

Breast pump. If you plan on pumping frequently, you can rent or buy efficient electric pumps, such as Ameda's Purely Yours or Medela's Pump in Style. For occasional pumping, many moms prefer hand-held battery-operated or manual pumps, such as the Ameda/Egnell One-Hand Breast Pump or the Avent Isis Breast Pump.
Sterile milk storage bags, clips or ties, and labels. For occasional pumping, you can store directly in bottles.
Storage rack, bin, or box for the freezer.
Bottles and nipples. Consider four 4-ounce and two 8-ounce bottles to start. Nipples come in different sizes, in varying rates of flow and varying materials. Buy a few different kinds, and when you determine which works best for your baby, stock up on that brand. See our Bottlefeeding Supplies list for more suggestions.
Bottle brush and nipple brush.
Bottle warmers. These warmers are designed to heat frozen breastmilk easily without destroying the nutrients or leaving the milk too hot for the baby; or you can use a kitchen bowl and hot water.
Steam sterilizer. Some sterilizers are designed to use steam from the microwave; others are electric.
