Pampers are the best for the newborn. Just don't make a huge stock of diapers as you have a long way to go yet :) and don't know how big is the baby gonna be. You won't probably need many newborn size diapers. On the other hand, your baby can be as tiny as mine - still using the newborn size and she...

You won't have much of a problem to find a baby clinic. You can try one of the nearest branches of Kidslink www.kidslink.com.sg but there are many others. Cheaper option would be to find a paediatrician in one of those local polyclinics - I haven't been to any myself and I was also told there is a l...

Hi, there are so called baby clinics in Singapore. They are generally walk-in clinics and their service includes treatment and prevention - general health care and immunisation for the kids and also monitoring of your baby's growth and development. The immunisation scheme here is very similar to the...

Sorry to say but I think you have got a problem yourself, don't you? :???: Either your love is strong enough and you gotta bear the consequences of breaking all the barriers and stereotypes or just don't do it. I am Caucasian coming from a former communist European country married to a British India...

To be honest, I have hardly ever been on taxi without a car seat even back in Europe. And having experienced Singaporeans' careless driving here, I would not take a chance. :twisted: I have got two little ones - 15 and 4 months old, so we (and our twin buggy) can only go by our car with car seats or...

Hi, Monday morning sounds good to me. Where about would you like to meet? I have got two little girls - 15 and 4 months.
I live in the West but don't mind meeting up even in the centre (as long as it accessible by MRT).

Cab is slightly difficult with the two little devils without a car seat. :twisted: I will think about it though.

All right, Wednesday, 9:30 a.m. Botanical Gardens, main entrance. :D Unfortunately, the likelihood of rain is rather high. So city centre in case of rain - one of the shopping malls with kids facilities and playground as well. Where shall we meet then? Now, tell me which one of the gates is the main...

Excellent service! ...not Singaporean though...

Hi guys, I feel I have to share this experience with you guys: We went to Fish&Co. in the Centrepoint on Orchard on Saturday and the service was just magic. The girl was so nice. Brought us the high chair, plate and cutlery for the kid without even being asked to do so. She warned us in advance that...

Re: the ERP and slow traffic on expressways...

those of you who commute; do you just wake up earlier to avoid the traffic? coz looking at morning online traffic cams yesterday didn't seem to give me the impression that ERP really works to cut congestion on expressways... Yeah, it doesn't really work. You just have to get used to it :lol: But it...

hi, I would strongly recommend Mothercare and Early Learning Centre (e.g. in Centrepoint, Paragon respectively) but there are many shops with some good stuff for the little ones. I have got an almost 14 months old daughter - got her a bus with rattles and shape sorter and she loves it, playing and l...

Is there that much difference between a 13 month old and a 16 month old? :o Will you start racially and gender dividing them next? Do the kids in the 13 month group get thrown out when they become 14 or 15 months old? Why not just combine the two groups! Strange people I must admit......... By Chri...
