Why considering having Baby...because that's what complete a "family"...
It's another step of life.
準備? to get pregnant? or during pregnancy?
I know many people take Chinese herbal medicine to 調理身體...I didn't. I only took multi-vitamin (i.e. Materna) during pregnancy. Many people take extra folic acid etc...
During pregnancy, get all the baby stuff ready before baby arrive. e.g. crib, crib mattress, stroller, carseat, a few baby clothes, bath tub, diaper, change table, bottle, pump, bottle steamer.
Also, attend class, and for me, not to eat: sashimi (basically anything not cooked including salad), mouuse cake (becaue contains raw egg), ice cream, cold water, coffee, deli meat, honey, banana and papaya (my mom said it's "cold" food in nature), cheese except processed cheese, less tea. (some people don't drink tea I found drinking a bit is ok). And try to have more balance diet. Eat beef, spinach, fish, drink 2 cups of milk a day, and drink more water...etc.
講到開支,bb嘅formula(ready to feed比起奶粉已經係貴嗰隻)大約$4/day,平過自己食用好多啦。diaper$0.2一條,一日換12條都係$3唔洗。$210一個月基本開支,政府有$100牛奶金,都唔係好貴啦。當然買衫褲鞋襪唔好計。
反而day care貴。至於學校,讀public就唔洗$。但係課外班就係$囉。一個班$400,兩個八百。當然你可以乜都唔去。說到底養兒育女都係豐儉由人。
