FIRST FLIGHT NI BABY 2

[yapeegurl]

sa TRUNKI namin nilagay toys/dvd ng toddler ko.. super useful sa amin.. hindi kami nahirapan during take off and landing and specially during the flight... this was a better flight compared to my son's first 2 flights..

[wengerts]

share ko lang din first flight namin last month to sg. pagpasok pa lang ng airport, hala takbo na baby ko. so in short, napagod ko sya as in! so pagdating ng flight, i guess she takes after me, as soon as we were seated sa plane, ayun, tulog na! all through out the flight tulog sya! YES!!! ay wait, nagising pala sya a few minutes before we landed sa SG siguro nagpo-pop yung tenga nya she kept on hitting her ears. pacifier lang binigay ko, kahit hindi sya umiiyak hehe.

i just brought yung chicco sterilizing solution din and a lock and lock container para dun ko sya ibabad. i used avent tempo plus lots of nipples din but may baon pa din akong 2 bottles just in case. 2 foils of formula, 1 bottle of dr. edwards. buti okay sya sa bottled water dun so refill refill na lang kami everyday. pag kinulang buy na lang ulit sa nearest grocery or 711.

nappies din binaon ko hehe kasi balita ko mahal dun e.

i survived pala the first day without a stroller, pero kawawa yung left arm ko di ko ma-straighten for 2 days we borrowed lang kasi and day 1 afternoon na namin nakuha lesson learned sa akin yun.

yung baon namin na toiletries and meds iniwan na lang namin kay SIL kasi we're coming back next month (adik lang)

btw, it also helps to know saan ang mga kid-friendly places. like in SG, super love ko yung Paragon mall. may playground sa taas and very nice Parents' Room. i do hope magkaron ng something similar to that dito sa Pinas (wishful thinking ito!). it also pays to know saang floor sa mga malls may diaper-changing trays (?) like sa Suntec, nasa 3rd floor ata yun. naku naikot namin buong mall and my arm smelled of poop already kakahanap ng restroom hahaha! ito yung day na wala kaming stroller.

very helpful itong thread na to so i thought i'd give something back thank you sisses!!!

^that's what i love about SG too sis.. ang neat ng baby room and halos lahat ng mall meron nun.. try to check Vivo city's play area din..

kami naman we had to bring our Avent sterilizer kasi natatagalan ako mag sterilize dun sa portable.. tig 2 bottles lang.. medyo bulky nga lang bitbitin yung avent but at least it saves us time sa pag sterilize..

pagod na pagod din son ko kasi naglaro muna sya sa playground sa airport before we boarded the plane kaya knock out sya.. hehe

^^^Yapeegurl, did you also bring a stroller with you?  I'm also thinking of buying a Trunki in place of our stroller since my daughter's big na rin.  Might be more convenient to carry this around than a stroller.

[yapeegurl]

^DV, hindi na sis.. didn't bring a stroller anymore.. itong baby boy ko mas gusto pa maglakad.. seldome naman sya nagpapakarga unless pagod na.. nakakatuwa din ang trunki kasi luggage-and-toy in 1.. sinasakyan ng son ko yung tapos hihilahin ko lang sya.. hehe.. magkano satin ang trunki?

[DV]

^A little over P2K.  Thanks!  Will consider getting one for our next trip.

hi sis wengerts! share ko lang din yung sa suntec mall in sg! of all the malls naman in sg itong suntec mall pa walang baby station sa mga cr same here very smelly na din arms ko. wish ko lang the malls here in our country would also consider putting a baby stations as in yung for babies talaga dapat may privacy din baby natin hehe! have you been to ikea tampines? di ba super cute ng baby station nila nalilibang si baby while changing his nappy (:

[wengerts]

^ ay di kami nagchange nappies dun sa ikea. talaga? try ko nga sa March tee hee

I saw a portable sterilizer at shangri-la mall. hygenie yung brand. it's battery operated and it's sold at P1350. here's the link. http://www.hygenieusa.com/about.htm

do you think mas okay ito compared sa mothercare strelizing tablet? or much better if i'll use both? hehe... 

Before I used the sterilizing tablets in Mothercare.  But I love the portable sterilizer I got from Momtrepreneur Shop at Shangri-la Mall.  Mas ok sya for me, easy to use, especially nung nahulog pacifier ni baby sa plane.  I just rinsed it with some bottled water then I used na the portable sterilizer. Super easy and handy.

Here's the link to the store:

Btw, I also bought their Totseat portable highchair.  So useful din, especially there are places and (relative's) houses na walang high chair.

Hello Mommies,

How long did it take before you were able to get the NSO copy of your baby's birth certificate? I gave birth last January and I want to get a passport for my daughter asap so I can take her to my business trips.

How kaya will they take the baby's photo if she still doesn't know how to sit?

[wengerts]

^ you can get directly sa munisipyo where you gave birth. sa picture naman, you will need to support her neck pero dapat hindi makita yung hand/arm mo sa picture. or baka pwede naman nakahiga, basta blue ang background. HTH!

[jackzulueta]

Hi Wengerts,

Yung sa Birth Certificate I got na the one galing munisipyo... is that okay na? Kahit hindi pa NSO copy kasi that takes a while daw...

Sa picture... may color ba ng damit na bawal? Tapos dati dba kailangan may collar... paano si baby? hehe

[imeego]

It took 3 mos before i got the NSO copy of my baby's birth certificate. Sabi samin dati if we cant get an NSO copy yet, what we can do is patatakan lang sa NSO yung local copy ng birth certificate and yun ang i-present sa DFA.

We went to DFA for my baby's passport 1st week of Feb lang, and they took the picture na nakahiga si baby, may blue cloth lang na sapin dun sa higaan nya that served as the background. Madali lang ang process kasi may priority lane for minors esp infants.

[jackzulueta]

Hi,

Saang NSO ko pwede patatakan? Sa main branch ba or kahit saang NSO?

Thanks!

[imeego]

not so sure sis but i think kahit saan pwede naman...fortunately we did not do this anymore coz  that time narelease na din nso copy ng birth cert ng baby ko

[wengerts]

that's the one! make sure may seal sya (tatak) to certify that it is a true copy.
kahit anong color ng suot pwede ang important is yung background. hindi din required ang may collar, even sa adults.

[jackzulueta]

Thanks Wengerts! 

[wengerts]
