Pochacco,
actually I also want to find out what are the items which Mt A will give to NB and their mummies, heard that some will give bathtub, others will give other things, not sure what Mt A will give...
 
Sleepingdeer, i know they give bathtub at mt A...

me have not buy any things for bb yet, really dun know where to start... just saw the ads you gals are talking about...
 
Experienced mummy, please advise how many newborn diaper should be we getting and approx. when bb will need to change to small size diaper... me probably going to NTUC to stock up the diaper since it is on sales...
 
sleepingdeer,
I think it's S$499 for non member. maybe can call and check.

My sis who delivered in mt A said that they gave a pack of newborn disposable diapers and the bath tub, think the brand is pampers. a bag of stuff with magazines, some samples of breast pads, johnson and johnson small bottles of different lotion, shampoo, body wash blah blah blah. for rooster babies, the babies get a rooster gold coin because the first rooster baby in singapore was delivered at mt A. Mine will be a rooster gal coz not over the lunar new year yet.

Thanks for the info on Mt. A, like that we won't need to buy bathtub liao.. hee hee, my bb gal will be born in the year of the rooster also, so will get the gold coin...

Pochacco,
me too, very blur on what to get, that's why have to get a list so we can tick it off. Yep, NTUC having discount, think I will start stocking up on diapers this weekend as well, since it is only 3 and 1/2 months away...

Thanks Sysa for the list, it's a good starting point.
 
Ladies

sysa,
thanks. will go check out NTUC today. so far i bought 2 packs of Pampers Premium NB. think can also try Sealer. some say not bad and quality quite good also.

Experienced mummies,
how long can NB pampers last? is 2 packs enough?

mongs,
i think the goodie bag is for all mummies at most hospitals. they give a bit of everything. i saw in most motherhood mag on it.

sleepingdeer,
that happens to me at times too! got one afternoon, i had 3 tea breaks cos just couldn't feel full....i have 2 breakfasts everyday, then lunch, tea break and dinner. then milk before i sleep... :p

god's child,
which baby laundry detergent is good? i tot of getting the pigeon one...
 
Hey sleepingdeer,

U r welcome. Hope the list helps. My friend just emailed me and so decided to share the list.

I got most of my stuff except for the diapers, bathing stuff for babies, breasts pads and all the lotion.

Planning to use Avent bottles becos NUH gave a complimentary (125ml) one for the antenatal class. Someone gave me the Avent sterliser &amp; breast pump. So looks like I will be buying the Avent bottles and the bathing stuff cos they look so nice in the brochures

sysa,

SY

kao_scared.gif
 
god's child,
i also like kodomo! i got a gift set when i was a kid and their shampoo and shower smells heavenly..not to mention the powder...

Hi mummies!
So long didn't log in liao. How are all of u?
So fast few more mths we going to give birth liao.
Heard lots of comments on whether shld or shld not op for epidural.
If op for epidural,our shape will go back normal faster. Well, guess just let it be natural la.
 
SSF,
tonight i go ntuc then i check how much is kodomo.

Bao bao,
i saw the pigeon one selling at 6 bucks at JL. where did u buy from?
 
saw from NTUC website.
kodomo liquid detergent offer - 2 LT 14.80
pigeon detergent powder - 1kg 5.90

do we need baby softener?
 
SY

i think i b getting the kodomo liquid one cos i prefer liquid than powder... more dissovable...

baby softener? not so sure leh, i think no need la hor.. since most things we bu for bb all soft soft one...
 
SSF,
i also dunno which one is better but now for my own i use liquid. but seems like kodomo quite ex. even the refill not very cheap.

god's child,
i read that if using nappies, good to put softener. but i also dunno whether it's a must leh. i ask ard then i let u know.
 
hey thanks everyone for all the tips n list of what to buy! but i still can't help but feel a little lost when shopping for bb stuff coz there're so many brands n dunno which is good!

SY,
what's the normal price of Pampers Premium for NB since u say that NTUC's is cheap?
 
durianlover
normal price is 15.40 and the cheapest i saw before is at those chinese medicinal hall at 14.

most pple will separate the clothes to wash. think separate for a while cos baby doesn't really go out and when we go out, we pick up germs from outside...

a lot of times is trial and error. even if u buy the good ones for baby, they may not like it also. and must see whether they will have any reactions to the things that we buy. my fren told me her fren's son allergic to aloe vera so those diapers with aloe vera to soothe cannot be used on her son.
 
Hi all,
Just wanna update on my gynae visit last night.
BB has grown to 693g (was 370g a month ago) and I have only put on 1kg since 1 month ago. Total weight gain since conception was about 6kg (now 24+ weeks). The best thing was, my gynae is trying out his new 4D scan machine and took take a 4D scan picture of my BB! But my boy shy lah, one hand was touching his forehead and his other arm was covering most of his face. So disappointed about not seeing my BB's face. In the end, took a picture of his hand covering his face. Very clear view of the fingers though, Thought his hands looked quite big.

Wah, you all very informed about baby products leh. I'm still very blur and haven't bought anything yet. But Sysa's list is quite helpful. I'll print it out and carry it in my bag whenever I go shopping.

SSF/SY,
my appetite is up and down, yesterday not hungry, today like a eating monster, sigh.. not looking forward to my gyane visit and the weighing machine.

SY,
heard that NB can use up to 10 - 12 diapers a day, so have to stock up. As for mat, my cousin gave me one from her son who never used it, it's those mats filled with water? about 0.5cm thick i think. I saw some at OG orchard, dunno whether those are the ones you looking for?

Durianlover,
yep, apparantly we shoudl separate our clothes from bb's clothes, coz bb's skin is very sensitive in the first year, so prone to rashes if their clothing is washed with normal detergent.

Gals,
I find that the type of washing machine and detergent makes lots of difference regarding softness of clothes. My top load washing machine back at my parent's house is fine, all the clothes always come out soft, no need softener. But my home, using front load machine, wah, the clothes like cardboard, come out can scratch skin one. Hee hee, my hb didn't believe, so I did a experiment, i had 2 sets of the same towels, one left at my parents' home, the other bought back to my home, you can actually feel the difference after a few washes

Queen,
congrats on seeing your bb again, he so shy, dun want to let you see face.
happy.gif




God's child,
me too, probably get Komodo, heard it's good.
 
queen,
must be fun seeing baby grow so big all of a sudden! i can't wait for my next visit...but still got about 3 weeks!!

sleepingdeer,
will they use so many? so scary!! so far i only bought 2 packs of NB. shall go buy more later. i shall take a look at those mats later. plannign to go JL.

so what detergent do u use? i use essence.

kodomo good? maybe i will get that. i like the scent...
happy.gif
 
anyone buying other brand other than Pampers Premium for NB for Day use. me thinking of using Pampers Premium for NB for nite and maybe PetPet for day use? ok or not har?
 
Hi SY,

Got the mat from kiddy palace. Cannot remember brand.

Hi SSF,

Yep, Tk goodness I was passed the steriliser and pump. I have spent quite a bit on baby already. So can save on those 2 items.
 
Hi SY,
think if bb is on total BFM, they will poop every 2 hours or so...
happy.gif


You mean washing detergent for adults is it? My mum uses Fab, my MIL uses Persal low subs for home, coz the washer can only use limited brands of washing powder.

Pochacco,
good idea to experiment and try different types of diapers, then we can compare which ones works best for our bb, I will try Pet Pet, Nepia and heard Sealer is good also I think, so many brands, luan liao..
 
Pet Pet is the cheapest brand of diapers - according to my frenz. i guess any diapers shd be fine as long as our bb doesn't get any allergic reaction n stuff. So also quite tough to say now...must wait till we try on our babies to know! i hv a fren whose bb can only wear Pampers brand of diapaers...any other brand will give him rashes.
 
but if we use different brands, once they get use to the better brand, will they get rashes from the less quality one? just wondering...
 
sysa,

thanks. think i will go and see if i can't find any suitable one from JL.

sleepingdeer,
i use Essence and i find my clothes a bit hard. duno why leh.
 
SY

I bought a thin waterproof mat (pigeon) during the Isetan baby fair. So i think u should be able to get it elsewhere but i think it'll be more ex. I bought it at abt $16++. There's other cheaper brands but i like this design better. If u can afford, u can see the Pyo Pyo one. Looks great, but super ex.
 
sleepingdeer, ya so many brand so luan... sometime i also veri confused... think tonite, i will go get 2 packs Pampers Premium for NB and 2 packs Pampers Premium (S)...

KP now having promotion on Petpet Diaper, S(46) is for $8.20...
 
<font color="0000ff">zhimin...</font>
u just let me know as per todate how many weeks u are now n i will do an estimate formulae calculation in my table
happy.gif
 
Hi all,
I have not checked the papers..... Where and When is the NTUC BB fair until??

Btw I know we should stock up lots of diapers but how many is alot?? Esp size NB &amp; size S...? = (
 
Morning all,
