Mummy And Baby: Hospital Checklist



It is never too early to prepare your bags for delivery. You wouldn't want to run around the house packing your bag after your water bag burst.

It is good to make sure your hospital bag is ready at least 2 weeks before your EDD, or even earlier. And it must be place somewhere where it is easy to access in case of emergency. Make sure your family members, siblings and husband know where the bag is, so in case you really forgot, they can help you to bring over to the hospital.

So what should we pack in the bag?

I will list them out in 4 different parts.

1. Documentation 
For Admission: 
1. Mother's IC
2. Admission Form
For Baby's Birth Registration
1. Mother's IC
2. Father's IC
3. Marriage Certificate
Do check with your hospital for the required documents.

2. Mummy
1. Mobile phone & charger - Keep your family members updated of your situation. Keeps you entertain while waiting and to take photo of your newborn!!
2. A set of clothes for discharge, preferable a nursing dress - For easy breastfeeding and make dressing easier, especially since you are still feeling weak.
3. Disposable underwear - I heard that actually hospital will provide but I dislike the paper ones, so I will BYO instead. I recommend the Watsons brand disposable cotton panties. They are super comfy and feels great.
4. Toiletries - Shampoo, shower gel, stretch mark cream, nursing cream, toothbrush, toothpaste
5. Nursing Cover - In case after discharge, while you are on the way home and your baby gets hungry...
6. Nursing bra & breast pads - For discharge

3. Daddy
1. 2 sets of clothing - If he is intending to stay with you throughout your hospital stay.
2. Towel
3. Toiletries - Shampoo, shower gel, toothbrush, toothpaste
4. Mobile phones, charger, tablets, games

4. Baby 
1. A set of clothes, mittens & booties for discharge
2. Swaddling wrap
3. Diapers

It varies between each individual, so this is just a guide to get you started.
Do let me know if I missed out anything important, I'm a new mum too....

With LOVES,
Annette

    Hello! I would like to open cosmetology salon. Do you have an experience in this business? There are too many options in beauty salon equipment. Could you give me an advise? What companies are more reliable to buy Black magnifying desk lamp and Rf cavitation machine?

Bye, 2013... Hello, 2014.... & Mini Giveaway

After all the celebration and parties to celebrate Christmas, so 2013 is coming to an end. Looking back into 2013, I've got a fair share of the good and bad...  Now that 2014 is arriving, it's time to plan for the future.... Yes! I plan that in 2013, but things are not going smoothly for me then.  But I'm gonna do that again in 2014, and the first thing I'm gonna do is.... To be pregnant again... Yes, that's my number one plan for 2014. I'm not young anymore, and I really do look forward to have a child of my own. I lost my child in 2013, and I'm not gonna let that happen again this time. I'm gonna take good care of myself this time and give birth to a healthy baby. Secondly, Mr Wonderful and I had gave up choosing a bto unit this year. It is because they are left with only second storey units, while we prefer a higher storey one. Hopefully, this year, we are able to to book a unit. Next, I hope I can have more time...

Eat And Drink: Christmas with Starbucks & Final Giveaway for 2015

Have you tried the Christmas beverages from Starbucks?  美味しいです。。(Delicious in Japanese) This year Starbucks return with 3 returning favorites and a new creation, in both hot latte and frappuccino options. Latte Version Photo credits: Starbucks Singapore New Creation:  Christmas Panettone Latte Returning Favorite:  Peppermint Mocha Latte (Recommended) Gingerbread Latte Toffee Nut Latte Frappuccino Version Photo Credits: Starbucks Singapore New Creation:  Christmas Panettone  Returning Favorite:  Peppermint Mocha (Recommended) Gingerbread Toffee Nut  I've tried all the hot & cold flavors and I preferred the usual Peppermint Mocha in both hot & cold options. As for the new creation, Christmas Panettone, it doesn't give me any surprises at all. I think the dried fruits sprinkle doesn't do justice to the drink too.  Another item that I highly recommend is the Chocolate ...

Niku Kappo by Watabi

It's been a long time since Mr Wonderful and I have a date. Glad to spend some private time together for dinner without Baby Joy! It was a surprise dinner date (3 weeks ago) as he just SMS me the venue 5 minutes before I off work.  When I reach the restaurant, there was a big crowd outside, waiting for tables. Mr Wonderful got 2 seats at the Sushi Counter which is our favorite whenever we dine at a  Japanese Restaurant.   There's a welcome drink for everybody. Never got to know what drink is that as the servers are always busy. We had a hard time trying to get their attention as everyone is attending to tables. There were a lot of table services such as tossing salad and cooking Sukiyaki by the table side.   My welcome drink   Quite nice, a little minty. The chilli padi looks scary, but you don't taste that at all... Wagyu Toro Sushi $7.90 I am not a fan of raw beef, so I've got nothing much to saw about this. But the beef literally 'melts' in my mouth, so make ...
