Sorry, I can't help with any experience of homebirth in Singapore, but I believe my friend's doula might have supported home births before. I think her name is Ginny, and her Facebook page is http://www.facebook.com/fourtrimesters.

I hope this is useful to you.

Little Bunnies in Alexandra Park. Lots of Tanglin teacher's kids go there as well. Sorry I don't have contact info. and it appears impossible to find information about it on the Web. I also think White Lodge is popular.

I haven't been myself, but it is oftened mentioned in this forum and I have heard good feedback from friends. The church website is www.stgeorge...

Swings at Goldhill Avenue playground, just off Bukit Timah near Chancery Lane / Anglo Chinese School. Not sure what you mean by bucket style, but these are rubber seated and my 2 year old is fine in them by herself. Quite a quiet playground, but not very large (just 2 swings).

Hi there, I am a mum of a nursery child at Tanglin. It shouldn't be too hard to get to know other mums, as each class has a "Class Mum" who organsises events for the children and the mums . However, you might not get to meet many mums at dropping off or picking up times, as a lot of children get the...

I have PM'd you with a link to the author's website. If the link does not work you can find the website by searching for No Cry Sleep Solution on the web. Author is Elizabeth Pantley. This will provide you with best info. rather than me trying to explain in a posting / PM.

I had a similar problem with my little boy, but he was a bit younger maybe up to 5/6 months. I did not want to let him "cry it out" and found "The No-Cry Sleep Solutuion" book to be very helpful. We got it whilst in the UK so not sure if available in Singapore, but I believe the author is American.

I can give you my (fairly limited) experience on Tanglin Trust School. My 3.5 year old son started at Tanglin this September and he loves it. The facilities are, in my opinion, brilliant and the children all appear to have loads of fun every day. In regard to the curriculum, at this age the British ...

My almost 2 year old and 3 year old both have Meiji full fat milk morning and night etc.. They seem to like it and we have only been here 6 months. It definitely tastes different to UK milk, think it is probably something to do with what the cows are fed on. I myself do not like the taste of the mil...

To confirm that the meeting point is the entrance off cluny road, where the carpark and "headquarters" are. Best to meet in the open area between the cafe and gift shop, I think, as my two have to play with the little fountains at the bottom of the trees to keep them occupied. I can will be able to ...
