Jenifur can u please update - EDD 1 Oct, Gender : GIRL!
Hi all,
went for my detailed scan yesterday - it took almost an hour! and waited another 40min for report before seeing gynae. Anyway, all is well and I finally saw my bb's genitals !
Such a relief to know all is well..
I went shopping at Tom n Steph after that and found they carry quite alot of stuff! i only bot a few stuff as i'm getting hand me downs for most things - I bought a box of 36 pc Pigeon Breast Pad (disposable) for only $8.90 and some clothing and mittens for bb..
QiQi, not sure if you're still thinking of playpen/bassinet but Tom and Steph's range is v v affordable! going at S$89 and the promo for Playpen + pram = S$159. Hw, quality wise may not be that great.. see for yourself k?
Mrs Tan - yes I heard Pigeon's Rapid Steam one is the best steriliser cos' can hold up to 9 bottles and can fit different types of bottles. But i'm not getting it cos I'm going traditional - use a big pot and pour boiling water over the bottles can liao!
Ruff - did your gynae explain the report in detail to u? Mine just said - everything v normal!
Manuka - i was just telling everyone i did not experience bb movement then suddenly in past 3 - 4 days bb movement v distinct. You can't miss it! Sometimes if u put your hand over yr tummy u can even see the tummy moving..

Kuririn ... dont worry! if u feel aunty go get some trendy ones yourself.. I can no longer fit normal clothing even rubberised ones. I can only wear maternity. My waist is now a whopping 33inch! i also wore some hand me downs which were not my style but I try to match them with something more comfortable for me.

ya I'm planning to get some trendy dresses.. cos all the dresses i got all are hand downs.. but then I just need to bear with it for a few mths more only.. thats why not willing to spend alot on maternity clothings lor..
so far i spent abt $200 on a pair of pants, a pair of 3/4 jeans and 3 tops.. my normal tops are getting tighter so no choice have to start wearing maternity clothings.. sigh...

Kuririn..if u feel the dress is aunty, then wear it only when u go to nearby grocery store or kopitiam lor.. Time to get some nice maternity wear..who knows you might need to wear them again in the future..
It's also a tough choice for me whether to be a hip but broke mum or be a less-glam mum with more $ to spare for bb stuff.. So in the end I mix lor. I bought some very nice but expensive maternity tops for trips to town or for gatherings with friends. I also bought cheaper and more casual maternity tops (those stretchy T-shirt material type) for work (for me lucky coz no need to be formal) & other occassions. I everyday alternate between the 5 maternity bottoms that I've bought, which are very comfy & gd value for money coz can even wear after birth mah..
However, with my insistence on not wearing the conventional maternity dress, strangers end up thinking that I'm probably fat instead of pregnant coz sometimes no one offers me seat on public transport.. So now u see the huge advantage of wearing maternity dress? People can tell that u r pregnant straight away and give way to u....for seats and queues...

Fun: i didnt go la. quite a while liao. Now, just concentrating on buying BB stuff. No more maternity stuff for me. May checkout Spring's 15% sale for nursing wear. Went OG today and saw one not bad but cant remember how much..... its tee material top which i like
Went Bugis Seiyu and OG Albert Park this afternoon to check out BB stuff.
Bought some BB clothings from OG.
I find that most of the BB clothings that dept stores carry are same design....
MC, I realised that Pigeon disposable breast pad has two types, one is premium one(36pcs) and the other one i think is only 24pcs. Think i will go for the premium one cos my skin very sensitive so better use better ones
Now, wondering if we just buy any brand of cotton balls & baby wipes & shampoo, lotion, baby bath or there are recommendations??
One question. is it better to use disposable storage bag for breast milk or bottles leh? Saw Avent's bottles one but not sure if its disposable or can recycle one..... 5 -6 o a box..

SSL: Sorry didn't reply to your queries cos I've been really busy at work.
The tongs that come with the steriliser is a small fully plastic one and can hold a normal sized bottle. For wide neck bottles the tongs still can be used. You just hold the bottle from the top instead of from the neck.
I think the premium breastpads just come with stickers at the back and are shaped in such a way that it kinda fits into the bra better.
As for cotton balls etc. Try to get those which say they are sterile-packed. At least get one pack cos newborns are super sensitive and the cotton balls have to be used to clean the eyes as well. Dun need to get shampoo. Instead get Johnson & johnson's Top to Toe Baby Wash. It's good enuf for the entire body. Moreover, bbs are generally very clean as they dun run around. Actually my almost 2 yr old still uses the Top to Toe wash (same price as other normal J&J washes) but I use J&J No-tears Shampoo on her now as well. I also used J&J baby lotion on her when she was younger (now no need liow), get a small or medium bottle one can already, otherwise a lot of wastage. You might also wanna get J&J baby oil in case bb gets cradle cap (which is a film of dry skin on either the head or eyebrows). Using a bb shampoo on a very young infant can cause cradle cap if the shampoo is not rinsed off properly. When/if bb gets cradle cap, just apply the oil on the affected area, leave it overnight/ several hours, then use a fine tooth comb to comb thru the hair (if on the head) and the skin will come off easily without hurting bb. If on the brows, apply, leave a few hours, then use cotton swipe/ hanky to remove.
Pigeon Baby Wipes are by far the best I feel. Get one with the plastic container first (it's almost like a tissue box) so that you can keep future packets in the box. It keeps the wipes moist. Otherwise even with the resealable packing it does dry up in time.
Janice: Ameda pumps are available only through MIM or BMSG. There is only one supplier in S'pore. I can't recall the company name, but they have no retail shop and they are located at a very ulu place in an ulu factory. (I've been there to service my Ameda pump. Sorry, really can't recall the name and place) But I do agree that Ameda is excellent!
