So any reviews for the items u hv tried? I'm also considering to get the nursing tea, sling (got to further discuss w hubby) & bobby nursing pillow from MIM. Surfed by their website earlier..indeed a lot of pdts.
As for Little Dreamers, I was thinking whether to get the warming body wash, shampoo & dry confinement powder as well but then again, any difference from those herbs u buy from chinese herbal shop? My PIL are buying those for me..so not too sure whether will b wasted cos find them rather expensive.

I'm not very sure coz haven't try yet so can't really give you any feed back but as the Red Raspberry Leaf Tea is quite good coz the some of them here has already started to drink..... But as for the bobby nursing pillow, i dun think is really useful coz mu sis have one and she say she regret buying so not too sure about it. Actually all this is up to indivisual but the sling is really useful.
As for the warming body wash, shampoo & dry confinement powder is actually different from the herb lor. What in my mind is, i am going to use all the above with the herbs for bathing but all my sis who have given birth did not use the above and they are ok.

You can order via their website or you can go down to the showroom personally.. think if you go down to the showroom and buy from them direct.. there will be no delivery charges..

1sttimemum,
Ok. Got your PM also.
Shylyn,
If you intend to go down to get and you already know what you want, maybe better to call them to check if they have stock. Judging from here, looks like their teas no more stock. So just in case you go then certain things don't have.
Hunniepot,
I'm DYING for a drink and coffee. Haven't had any since preggie. But breastfeeding also cannot drink mah right?

I cannot control so yesterday ask hubby permission if i can buy that Soothes & Heals Tea to try.... wahahaha than he say "Things that you want to buy even thou i ask you not too, you still will get it so permissionis given" Hahaha!!! Just email MIM and ask them how to use both item the Healing Bottom Spray and Soothes & Heals Tea. Make sure i know how to make full used of it else will be wasting $$ again.

terrier,
i'm hoping to breastfeed exclusively, but some how some how we got lots of bottles.
- Dr Browns x 2 (1 big, 1 small) we bought cos this brand was recommended by fren for anti colic
- Avent x 2 small, came with manual pump my fren gave me
- Avent x 1 small, free from antenatal class
- Tollyjoy x 6 medium (free from BiL but no teats, so we're going to use for storing only)
one whole kitchen shelf full liao!

RE: Milk bottles
Brand: Pigeon (wide neck, peristaltic)
Qty: 2 small bottles, 1 large bottle
(Large bottle is standby for later use on bigger baby. Since bottles need to be sterilise after each feed, think 2 bottles enough liao.)
Teat: Pigeon Perisataltic (comes with Pigeon bottle)
I compare with Avent and NUK - all interchangeableas long as wide neck type - and Pigeon ones are softer than Avent. Avent teats are quite hard and TMC recommends NUK for newborn. A mum recommend the new Aprica teats cos it's very soft but I have not seen them and not sure if it's softer than Pigeon. Some mums are using Dr Brown (q expensive) or Bfree. Will try other brands if baby don't take to Pigeon.

RE: Coffee
I think no problem to drink coffee if you limit your intake to one cup a day. But since I can tahan then I don't drink. But hehe I drink tea and sometimes coke so that also have caffeine, so in the end also same.
MIM/Little Dreamers opening hours:
Tues-Thurs: 11am-4pm
And on alternate Saturdays 11am-4pm. But you have to check their website which Sats they are opened. This Sat they not opened. Then next Sat MIM is participating in the Baby Fair so they prob not opened as well. But they opened on 25th March.

Re: Milk bottles
I haven't bought any yet.
Oh I got one in the free pack from TMC antenatal class. When you buy pump, will come with free bottles also. Or if you buy sterlizer. I think maybe don't have to buy so many yet, cos sometimes baby gift sets that your friends give you will also have bottles. Plus if you want to breastfeed in the first month, then you only need the bottles to keep milk if you express cos you're engorged. So no need that many. Also I read don't buy too many of the same brand just in case your baby don't like, especially the teats/nipples.
That said cos I'm planning to buy the Avent pump, I'm probably gonna get the VIA storage so no need bottles cos that one can get adapter and it doubles up as milk bottle.

RE: Baby Bottles
wow..i think I'm the really slack one..only two small bottles from Avent, one's free from my antenatal class and the other is from my SIL. I'm thinking of getting larger ones later cos thought tt I'll b breastfeeding my bb 1st..c how is it then if really unable, then bobian buy larger bottles to cope.
RE: Coffee
it's my fave beverage..really cannot go w/o it..hee..but sometimes i wonder whether the caffine content in one cup exceeded e recommended 300mg per day for pregnant women leh...cos it didn't specify the caffine content in any of the packaging leh. Anyone got any idea?
Thks Jilian, for e MIM openingg hrs...should hv went there just now..though not too sure where their showroom is at exactly.

Think still can drink abit of alcohol right? Was thinking.. can store EBM for a few feeds then drink (but not excessive lar) and by the time bb finishes the EBM, the alcohol would have been broken down already?
I used to be a coffee / tea addict.. can take up to 4 to 5 cups of coffee a day.. but now I try not to take too much tea / coffee since I got preggie.. can tahan.. but have been taking it once in a while only
