How early should I start looking for ifc slot?
I’m currently week 13 and I heard that ifc slot need to be booked in advanced. Besides looking out for ifc slot, is there anything else I need to know and do in advance as I am FTM here. If by any chance I do not have the luck to be able to enrol my child in time before I start work, what is my alternative solution. TIA!
You can only apply at ecda 3 months before your edd. Lucky for me i suddenly got 1 last slot for my child, as all slots and the month i want to enrol is full and i need to enrol a month before. All other ifc all full. And after applying, you might want to email all the ifc stating your interest and that you have registered via ecda. Cause some will get back and ask you for more details, or get back once youve delivered for the BC. You can try private ifc, few of them still have slots, or better slots than the gov ones. But slightly higher fee. Else last choice either ask mother or in law or maid

Hi! I’m staying in CCK and my EDD is in Nov 2023. We are planning to send our baby in Feb/Mar 2024. Earlier in July (at 20 weeks), my hubs and I managed to find an infant care (semi-private) right in front of our place, went for the site visit and made our deposit in August! Hope this helps!
