Dad 101

I needed to keep track of the things to get for my wife as we get ready for the baby. Rather than have a paper list and keep adding to it, I've decided to put up a post and keep it here instead.

During the 3rd Trimester

• Mummy Milk Formula
  She'll need this to supplement her diet if she is not eating well. My wife prefers Frisomum to Anmum.
• Supplements
  She should already be using these by now:
  • Calcium
  • Multi vitamins
  • Fish oils

For the Hospital
These things will also be in the Hospital Bag List, but I'm putting them up here as well.

• A set of loose fitting clothes
  Need these when we're leaving the Hospital.
• Nursing Bra and Nursing Pads
  I think she'll be breastfeeding so we'll be needing these. But I'm not sure how many sets?!
• Maternity Briefs
  But of course.
• Maternity Pads
  Yeah, I didn't know they existed either. Need to get these too.
• Sterile Maternity Towels
  There sure are a lot of "Maternity somethings" to get. Got to find out if KKH stock these.
• Toiletries
  I'm not too sure about bathing, but I don't think she'll be able to do without Facial and Oral toiletries though.
• Wet Tissues
  I think this one should be included for good measure.

• Chinese Rice Wine - Done
  I don't really know yet what the Rice Wine is for. A friend of my mum's was preparing some for her daughter-in-law and she made a couple for us too. So I got this item settled, and homemade ones too. How good is that!? What a blessing from the Lord!
  I took a look at them the other day and noticed that each have a bunch of stuff soaking in there.
• Post Delivery Massage - Done
  I arranged for a traditional malay post delivery massage for wifey. Heard they're good for the mum after delivery.
