Hi everyone

Had a fab time at lunch and looking forward to the next one. Its always good to have other moms-to-be to chat with!

SF gal, hope your house hunting is going well. My due date is 15th Nov and expecting another boy!

Amelie, sorry I didnt get a chance to chat to u much but hopefully next time! Your mandarin puts me to absolute shame! I am the only mom w bub in tow.

And Annie thanks for the book recommendation. Am trying to bring up my kid bilingually(at least) and am mixing languages all the time which I am sure confuses him greatly. Will check out the book u recommended. Should be able to get it thru Amazon.

Look forward to the next luncheon!

breastfeeding - grouped appointment

Hi ladies,

It was mentioned during our last lunch that some of us would be interested in learning more about breastfeeding and possibly do a group class with Lactation Consultant Mrs Chee. She was recommended to me by 2 new mums who had trouble breastfeeding at the beginning and thought Ms Chee was a great help.

My idea was to meet with her for a consultation/class so to get more specific info on the subject but also get to know each other in case i need her help after the baby is born.

She generally charges 450$ for a 2 hour class but said she would give us a discount (400$) for a group.

If you are interested, please get back to me, i am happy to organise this.
Her office is in Wanchai, so maybe we could have lunch together and then do the class after ?? How about next Tuesday since we already have lunch scheduled in Pacific Place ? From 3-5pm ??

Looking forward to hear from you.

Amelie

Hi,
I'm an Australian and a first time mom, due at the end of November. Would like to meet other moms to be for a chat / coffee, maybe in Central somewhere. Hope to hear from other moms soon ...

Hello Lilly! Welcome and Congrats! It is always nice to have more moms-to-be to talk to.

Amelie,

Tuesday works for me. I think it would be great to talk to Mrs. Chee.

Stephanie, Dymocks also said they can order it. It would take 3-4 weeks (maybe Amazon is faster?!) But, here is their reply:

Wish I could join in on the breastfeeding class but now I'm not sure if I can make the lunch next Tuesday. I have friends arriving into Hong Kong that morning and I will check with them that morning if they want to go shopping while I join you guys for the lunch. I don't think I can stay on afterwards for the class though. Sorry to miss it.

Amelie, I'll let you know on Tuesday - these days sitting for a couple of hours is enough for me so I may not be able to make it that day for TWO activities.... boo hooo...
