Spent a lot of time preparing for the trip as usual... and the timing has to be just right so that Jed leaves the house full of milk and happy (I'm feedin him at this moment as i type with one hand).
Aunt put him in the sling and he settled right into it. So far i've been hopeless with the sling, succeeding only once in putting him in without twisting his neck out of place, I really must learn from her!
Here's Jed relaxing in his pouch. :)
We took a bus down to WS. It was his first trip on a bus! But he was too sleepy to notice it. :)
They walked and shopped around while I queued up at the bank. You could always count on a long queue at POSB, even during off peak hours....
....
Bought some baby supplies at Tom and Stephanie's, including the Avent Manual Pump. The Medela Electric Pump doesn't seem to work very well for me... well, I really hope this new one works. Costs $91 bucks ($80 after discount).
Before we knew it, Jed was squirming in his sling and it's time to feed. I brought along a bottle of expressed milk (EBM) and we settled at Ya Kun Kaya Toast to feed him over a cuppa. To my horror, the milk is all spilt as the cover did not really fit the bottle! Furthermore, it smelt spoilt.
Thank God I brought out my shawl and I had no choice but to feed him there and then by using the shawl to cover us. I had some help from Aunt and soon, he was feeding happily under the shawl... nobody could tell what I was doing unless he sticks out a leg. ;D
....
When we left Ya Kun, we saw it.
A Nursing Room.
Darn.
But it's a great discovery nonetheless!
With the renovation of the basement, they have added a nursing room to the mall. Not as good as the one at Century Square, but it'll do. It has a tap and sink for washing, a cushioned leather changing platform and a leather couch for breastfeeding. My only complaint is that there's only a draw curtain covering the breastfeeding area and the room also doesn't have a lock, which means anyone can just walk in on you and even draw the curtains while you're feeding the little one. But if someone's there with you, I guess it's fine...
Here's a photo of him on the changing table.
The nursing area...
After changing him out of his stinky diapers (he pooped!), we went a quick round at NTUC to grab some groceries. I was already very tired. I had to struggle to keep my eyes open. Think I'm really worn out... we ended the trip with a bus ride back.
Really stoned and tired but very happy to be able to go out of the house and bring Jed around. :)
Looking forward to the next trip.
