Baby outing (0-3 month)

During my 10 months of pregnancy, we couldn't wait but to plan for baby outings. However after the bb arrived, we were so overwhelmed by the logistic challenges, the feeding, the changing, the crying etc. Besides hospital visits, we tried to avoid outing.
In the first 3 months, we only been out for a few times.
#1 Mapletree business center Cedele for afternoon tea. Met uncle kp n uncle hz. While pumping gas at SPC bb already started to cry but considered quite cooperative in the cafe. Nursed once and learnt to use the green nursing shawl.
#2 Orchard Bedrock Grill. To celebrate bb full month. The car ride took too long. Bb also demand feeding b4 our main course was served. Realized the shawl is too warm for bb. Gotta change.
#3 ARC. We went there for lunch. Although 1 bottle was prepared but bb slept throughout our lunch and only started to cry on the way home. I got no choice but to nurse her in the car. What an interesting experience.
#4 Wendy's at U-town. We used to go out every weekends be it a simple lunch or jalan jalan in the park. Bb shall follow our lifestyle. We cleaned up bb quickly one afternoon and drove to NUS. Bb was quiet in the car. The moment we stepped into Wendy's, she fell asleep soundly. We enjoyed our burger v much. On the way home she woke up in the car. Conclusion, she likes aircon.
#5 Imperial Treasure dim sum at Great World City. Similarly she slept the moment we stepped into air con place. Surprisingly she continue to sleep back home after the outing. That's not good. I suffered at night as she only managed to sleep at 9+
#6 Modesto lunch. Bb fell asleep while we were eating and woke up after we finished our meal. Good girl!
#7 church for Champion 1 at MBS and followed by lunch at DTF@ MBLM. During this outing bb was nursed 3 times. Tiring for mummy. Bb likes to be pushed around in the stroller.
#8 NUS U-town again. Mummy n daddy want to eat Wendy's. But after the lunch we went to West Coast Plaza for a short walk.
#9 Clementi Mall. Mummy needed a quick fix on the loose swissflex spectacles. Might as well have some Ya Kun kaya toast. The nearest is CMT. Bb slept in the stroller for almost 1 hour while we visit Ya Kun, Capitol, Crystal Jade n Kiddy Palace.
#10 Breakfast at Huber's Dempsey Hill.
#11 Getting a Xmas present for bb at Funan. We bought a bb latex mattress and had 老街 bakuteh for lunch. That was unexpected. Bb was kind enough to sleep through our lunch. But when we head to Suntec she woke up in the Braun Buffel shop. When baba was away from the stroller, bb will be anxious n start to cry. I found my Xmas present but didn't buy anything yet. Will go to another outlet.
#12 Westgate DTF after mummy see doctor at IBP. After lunch mummy got her Xmas present yeah!
#13 Baba want to eat rosti!! Like now! We went to Suntec again. This time the red zone at tower 3 only. We all had lunch at Marché. Of course bb had free milk. This is by far the best Marché outlet. Big n quiet. We like. After lunch bb go back to sleep we stroll around. There are many new stuff such as GV, alive museum, BK Kopitiam, Lego, Teo Heng and many banks. The place is spacious and not much ppl. We like. 
#14 Dinner at Bornga Vivo. The isetan also not selling ceramic peeler.
#15 Isetan Scott. Finally got my ceramic peeler. Haven't been eating katsu don for very long time. After lunch we went to Singtel to get new phone. Xmas mood very strong now.
#16 Xmas eve lunch at Greenwood. Baba dropped a fork on the plate and made bb awake in the middle of our lunch.
#17 Xmas is here! Went to Star vista cedele for brunch. Saw a nice wooden coffee table $199 almost wanted to buy. But then went to IKEA and found $20 table set including 2 stools. Free parking some more. So we bought new furniture on Xmas day.
#18 Staycation at Changi Cove is finally here. During the Staycation, we went to airport, changi boardwalk and had lunch at punggol choon seng seafood restaurant.
#19 Whole afternoon outing. First to Tuff City to pick up a Russian Walnut cake. Basically bb slept in the car. Then to baby hyperstore and baby kingdom. Followed by house warming party at uncle KP's place. 
#20 lunch and dinner at Shaw The Ship and ARC Canton. Also enroute to Wheelock and ion.
#21 Another weekend outing. This week we went to HillV2. There are many restaurants. First time tried Dean & Deluca and black Angus. The ribs is quite nice.
