Haha, cost increment is exponential!!!

That time I was bored (b4 wedding acty) while waiting for my mom to pay for the groceries at NTUC, I went to take a look at the milk powder + diapers shelf. Milk powder is damn ex.

My hb's coll WA him the article today, and said "XX, this is for u man". LOLL!!!!

I was also just commenting to hb...but my guess is that over the decades there have been significant improvements to baby formula right...Look at those R&D plants here in Singapore! And if u are going to use formula only as a supplement (praying that I can bf successfully) , it still is going to be quite alright. Toilet train baby earlier, and u can reduce the amt of disposable diapers used too!!

I want to believe the companies about R&D improvements to infant formula, that I'm paying the additional $ for a good thing lol. But I'm very skeptical coz formula costs twice as less in Australia, so based on that article, they stay at the roughly the same prices as a decade ago in SG! Even S-26 which is made in SG is 2x cheaper in AU... if you imagine that it costs something to import from SG to AU, it doesn't make sense that it's cheaper in AU!

I don't believe that Australia does not enjoy the same so-called R&D improvements as SG. The only way the companies' reason is true is if the AU gahment subsidises the formula for consumers, but none of my Aussie friends with babies are aware of this subsidy, so it's unlikely.

Something fishy is going on here... My investigation into the real reason for ridiculous formula prices in SG continues....

If they dun mind maybe you can consider .. But are you going to try breastfeeding first ? Maybe you have a lot of supply then no need to stock up formula

charkwn said:
Think Swaddlepod (the one with zip) only 1 size. For bigger size baby, the brand recommends swaddleme (I think) with velcro straps. I'm planning to get it from amazon to try..

Oh Okie .. Maybe will try too .


Anyone going to buy from Amazon ?? Ytd too free while pumping milk keep looking at Amazon things .... My cart also a lot of things already lol...

A bit off-topic but I'm so sad and angry that two of the hostages from the Sydney siege were pregnant, yet the gunman did not free them!!! Imagine being pregnant and held hostage at gunpoint for 16 hours, not to mention possibly standing up for 2 hours at a stretch against the windows as a human shield for the gunman. This hit me real hard as I mentioned I used to hang out at the same cafe. If I were still living in Sydney now, I could have been one of the hostages yesterday and not made it out alive...

Two of the Martin Place hostages were pregnant
Two of the hostages being held at gunpoint in a Martin Place cafe overnight were pregnant, police have revealed.

Another hostage was a 75-year-old woman who was shot in the shoulder.

All three women were in a stable condition in hospital on Tuesday, police said.

This is the latest information we have about the injured hostages:

  • A 75-year-old woman was shot in the shoulder. She is in a stable condition.
  • A 52-year-old woman was shot in the foot. She is in a stable condition.
  • A 43-year-old woman was shot in the leg. She is in a stable condition.
  • A 39-year-old man received a minor facial injury due to a gunshot. He was treated at hospital and has since been discharged.
  • A 35-year-old pregnant woman was being assessed at hospital. She is in a stable condition.
  • A 30-year-old pregnant woman was being assessed in hospital. She is in a stable condition.

At first my gynae didn't tell me if baby's head is engaged or not. She just told me she's head down as per past visits. Then I asked her how low her head is..then she used her hands to press on my bump a little to feel her position..
All the aches shd be normal..is the baby's weight pressing on your pelvis..but just let ur gynae know.. For me I've on off cramping when I walk too much or stand too long.
