Kuririn,
Thanks..
Maybe I'll go buy a teat to try..
Sneaky..
I found the teat you are talking about.. It's the Pigeon Peristaltic Teats .. Just saw online that Pigeon has a Anti-colic kit and Orthodontic teats too.. http://www.babyandcompany.co.za/pigeonbottles.html

Think the best bottles are actually the ones by Dr Brown.. But they are very ex.. $20+ a bottle..
Everyone I know who is using a breast pump uses the Medela breast pump and give it the thumbs up.. So that's what I'm getting although it's not exactly cheap.. The one I'm looking at is a Single pump Medala mini electric which is retailing at $178
Diapers wise, best I hear is Pampers premium if you are not going for nappies.. but this is ex too, about 50% more ex than regular brands.. Fitti, Pet pet, Mama Poko and Nepia seem to have Ok reviews and affordable pricing. Drypers don't seem to have very good reviews.. This is just what I gather from readin other threads and my friends.. Don't have any personal experience..
I'm considering using nappies mostly and Pampers premium for night and going out..

fuschiastar: Yes! MUST sterilise bottles!!! Cos if any bacteria get into them it can cause us adults at most a stomach upset but can be fatal for bb! Old methods are either steaming (like steam fish like that) or immerse bottles and teats etc into water and boil. I feel that the boiling method wastes a lot of water. old style steaming will take quite a while also and you can't guarantee that the bottles will remain sterile after you open the container to get the bottles out. A steriliser at least has a proper cover and can keep the things sterile. And yes, I agree with kuririn's colleague. Latex teats are not 'time friendly' in the sense that just one steam or boil will change its shape and turn it sticky.
Sneaky: Haha.. you so funny lah.. bottle also must be 'you siu' one! Hehe.. I tell you ah, after bb is delievered and the first time you bring him to you breasts to suckle you will probably get a shock at how big our nipples are compared to bb's small small mouth! Hehe...
SSL: Personally the Medela pump did not work for me. I used the Ameda and it was much better. I have heard some ppl say that Medela is more for ang moh ladies but then I know pple with whom the Medela works well for. Basically I bought both the brands loh.. At first I bought the Medela and found it strange that very very little milk was coming out, then I went to give the Ameda pump (only available either at Moms In Mind or Breastfeeding Mothers Support Group)
a try and liked it cos it really pumped well, so I bought it loh! You can actually go and 'test' the Ameda with the Breastfeeding Mothers Support Group.
Yvonne tt: Heh.. cos Pigeon is on the whole cheaper than Avent and more easily available than Avent loh.

SSL: Pet Pet is cheap and of ok quality when bb is still young. After that sure cannot tahan the amt of urine one. My girl is now using Huggies Dry Comfort. Slightly more ex, but good quality and great absorbency. DUn bother trying Drypers. Cheap but not good.
Nepia is very comfy but can't hold my girl's urine. I use Nepia pull-ups when we go out cos it's very soft and comfy for her. AT night I use Mamy Poko. Very good!!

Kris,
Looks like a sterilizer is essential.. So have to buy..This is not your first child? Did you use latex or silicone teats? Heard that babies that are direct feeding may refuse silicone teats cos they are "harder"? but take to the latex ones better..? I

fuschiastar: Ya, this is my #2. I gave my (presently 20 months old) girl the silicone teats. She was breastfed (direct latch) for 6 months but I give her formula for night feeds. She did not have any problem with the silicone teats leh.. from day 1 of birth she was already using both my breast, silicone as well as latex teats. At the hospital she used latex ones but she gave me no problems at all where teats are concerned.
Every bb is different lah. My girl was a terror when she was very small but feeding has never been a problem.
ruff: The microwave type is very cheap I agree. But I got no microwave at home and I suppose there are concerns that microwave may not be good for small bbs.

Sneaky,
Anti Colic refers to bottles that suppossedly are fashioned such that when the bables drink, they don't "drink" air in addition to milk or water or whatever is in the bottle.. Colic apparently happens if there is air in the babies stomach or intestine and hurts..
The Dr Brown ones are suppose to be good cos they have this valve like thing that suppposedly can remove the air or something.. Heard that from a colleague who uses it..
I'm not sure how the Pigeon anti-colic kit works cos I only saw it online..
Orthodontic teats are recommanded when babies are teething. It's suppose to be shaped in such a way such that it doesn't cause the babies front teeth to erupt splayed outwards..(as in like bugs bunny), I don't know if they really work.. It depends on a few factors like if your baby is still on total bottle feeding or if you are starting your baby on solids.. Baby teeth start to erupt at about 6 months..

Morning girls,
I am almost finishing my stretchmark cream already, between Mustela and the clarins one, which is better, anyone knows?
Just now, i was sitting at my desk and i thot i felt some slight jerks/twitch at my tummy..below my belly button. I wonder, could this be baby's kicks? Will continue to monitor today.. hehe...so fun.

Mrs Tan,
I use the Palmers one.. Don't know about Mustela but there are people that really believe in Clarins tonic oil.. I went to the counter to try but didn't really like the smell and thought it felt oily and the salesgirl told me that I had to apply it on damp skin so that the oil can be absorbed more easily? Don't understand, thought oil and water don't mix..
Sneaky,
I saw the Pigeon peristaltic bottle yesterday.. It's the one that costs about $8-9 dollars and comes in 200/300mls? The teat feels very soft..
Everyone.. I was looking at prams at Taka yesterday.. So difficult to find a suitable pram.. Cos I need one that can recline totally, not too heavy and has a window on the pram hood so that I can see my baby.. .. Even the Aprica ones that are suppose to be really good only recline til about 30 degrees.. Does anyone know where I can find a range of prams, or recommand a pram to me?

ladies: I share with you all my experience with prams k? My hb and I decided that we didn't need a pram till bb was maybe at least 4 months old and so we bought ours only after bb was delivered. We thought that when bb is very young chances are that we will not be going out often or for long and even if we do go out, bb will be hand-carried or placed in the bb sling. We survived like that till bb was about 4+ months old. Then we bought one that had 2 positions, but it doesn't recline all the way down. It cost us only abt $130 for the pram instead of nearly $300-$600 for one that had up to 5 positions (i.e., suitable for infants). We used the pram for only a few months as once my girl learnt to walk she didn't want the pram anymore. Now that she's almost 2 yrs old, we bring the pram out only when we go to the zoo/ birdpark etc so that she can sit in it when she gets tired.
Personally I'm glad I did not splurge a whole lot for a pram that we didn't use for long.

jenifur and Celine: 3-wheeled prams are very heavy leh... cos they are meant for running and have to be heavy to be steady and withstand the speed. If you want a steady one and dun mind the price, Maclarens has good prams. Alternatively, you can get 4-wheeled ones but get those with slightly larger wheels. A pram generally will not fall over with bb inside provided it is not too lightweight. Very lightweight prams are easy to carry around but you can't hang things on the handle cos it WILL topple backwards if bb's weight cannot offset the weight of the bags.

Kris,
Do you have the exact address of the Baby hypermart? Thanks..
I'm going to place my baby in infant care after 2 months and work part time. My husband's work is such that he won't be around much and I'll be alone with the baby quite a lot.. So a pram is necessary if I want to go out..
which I do..
Mrs Tan,
It's the Palmers Coca butter stretch mark cream. You can get it at Guardian pharmacy.. It costs about $24 a bottle.. I have been using mine for about a month and have used about half a bottle..

Kuririn: Thanks for providing the address! I was just looking for it!
fuschiastar and kuririn:
Baby Hypermart is good for bulky items esp strollers. They also have some interesting toys.
Baby Kingdom is better for smaller items like clothes, accessories. They also have a wider selection of cots than Baby Hypermart.

Sometimes the kids just want to rest and parents find them too heavy to carry around?
Anyway, I stopped bring out the pram once my son knows how to walk and refuses to sit in it. After he knows how to walk, he prefers to push the pram. Because he's short, people walking towards me though how come the pram moves on its own
Sometimes he can't see and knocks onto people. So I don't bring out pram anymore.
