Hi trinklebell,
I saw contacts for the beansprout pillow from another forum... cost $7 and the lady will sew your baby name on top too. =) But I'm not too sure if the measurment is too short as I seem some mummies commenting that length of 30cm is not enough. Do you think 30cm is too small?
Hi Amy,
Beansprout pillows I heard is to put over babies so they wun get scared easily.
I just called up Babysafe.. If we can get 5 of each item, we will be entitled to a 20% (max) discount.
I'm keen in having the pillow for newborn to 6 mths as it prevents flat head. It cost $15 now without discount. And as I'm not getting a cot, I'll be getting the playpen mattress instead. it cost $89 for the 26" X 38" X 1" ( 66cm x 96cm x 2.5cm) measurment. And $99 28" X 41" X 1" ( 70cm x 104cm x 2.5cm) measurment.

Hi Celeste,
The babysafe pillow is different wor.. Not sure whether it works lah. You know how people say putting babies in sarong will give them a nice round head? Where as sleeping on flat surface will give them a flat head. This pillow is actually curved in so that when bb sleeps on it, the head will not be flat.

Hi Matt,
Pai say, it's GlenE not Mt E.. Hehe.. erm, slightly more expensive I would say. Then for the ward charges too. But I'm not sure of what's hidden, what's not.
Oh ya, there's a nursery charge for babies of about $300 for normal delivery, and $370 for caesarian, regardless of the ward we chose.
I like Dr Heng a lot! Friendly and approachable. But not sure how she will be like during delivery, thou I have seen really good comments about her in the forum. How about you and your wife? Pleased with Dr Heng?

re: beansprout pillow
Yes, I think 30cm is indeed too short. Have to be around 45cm at least in my opinion.
The beansprout pillow is for us to put on baby's stomach so that the beansprout (actually is the balck colour shell) can be spreaded on 2 sides of baby and give some 'weight' so that when baby is frightened, he/she will feel safer with some weight on top of him/her. Also, it is also safer later on when baby can turn coz baby can still breathe if pillow accidently cover the face.
Actually $7 is quite cheap leh. My aunt asked from the stallholder selling beansprout in market. Then she had to bring the big bag home to sun till very dry. Then I remembered my aunt and parents sat on the floor for hours to pick out the roots and the dried beansprout (coz only need the shell). A lot of hard work to make yourself one. So I also tell my daughter her beansprout pillow is 'ai xin' pillow! haha!

Hi Amy,
Can I dun be the coordinator? Haha.. esp by posting it in the marketplace. I do not know the rest of the forum members well, so it could be quite troublesome if we go into some money dispute. =p
Hi Starfish,
Ya, that's why I'm not sure to get it or not.. But $7 is actually not bad, considering that the lady sew our babies name onto the pillow. Maybe I should ask her whether can she do a longer pillow. Her width is about 12cm, is that too small either? I know if we make ourselves, the price is less than 50cents. But it's really alot of work. >_<

Oh oh, I just called up the lady who do the beansprout pillow.
She has a bigger measurment pillow which goes by 45cm x 15 cm. And she's charging it at $12 per piece, plus embroidary, plus postage included. Extra casing for the pillow is at $5. We can choose two colours for the casing. Example blue and green, etc.
She said that if we can have a bigger order like more than 20 orders, she will give us discount like maybe $10 per pillow. Haha, this one I can coordinate cos all she needs is our home addresses, and she will send it to us. So no meeting up point, whatsoever. The money will be transfer to her bank a/c directly.
I have seen good comments about the pillows she made. But not very nice for me to post that thread here. If anyone wants to read that thread, let me know, and I will pm you the URL. =)

hi hidora, i'm also interested in the bean sprout pillow purchase. i think the lady is fr bayb supplies forum. i have seen that thread too... only thing is i dont have a name for my bb yet.
Hi volf,
Yup yup, it's celyn. I guess the one that cost less is the smaller pillow? She has two pillows. One is the 30cm x 12 cm, the other is the 45cm x 15 cm. The one I'm getting is the 45cm one as 30cm is too short, like what starfish said. Unless hor, she's selling the 45cm one for $8... >_<
And yes, what you and Josephine said is true. If we have robinson card, it's actually cheaper to get it there. And no leh, she said 20% is the max. Very niao..
I have posted a thread in marketplace. http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/270192/368796.html?1139210993
Pls have a look there. =)

hihi all
Thanks for the well wishes. We're indeed very blessed.
Just spent like $1K buying a cot, mattress, bedsheets for two cots, bab monitor, 2 mobiles and a bottle warmer - electric from BB Hypermart. Baby stuff are so expensive! Hubby so heart pain cause we're trying to save as much as possible for the hospital bill. No choice, have to be fair so we bought both of everything. We also bought two bumbo seats cause hubby said must be fair too. We alos bought two night lights to be placed at each cot. 2 pkts of cloth diapers, bath basin, baby changing mats etc. The only big ticket item we lack now is the breastpumpwhihc i will only buy much much later. I will only shop for baby clothes either in shanghai next week or after I come back from holiday in singapore. We also orderd like a carton of new born diapers of pampers. Got it for good price.
I have a headache for chinese names cause hubby and I do not have any idea. *sigh* need help so desperately. Wanted to have name before birth so we can register there and then in hospital. Can't calculate names cause those Shi Fu wants time and date of birth which is difficult for us before we birth... unless I do c-sec.. Which is a possibility unless my second baby turns soon and my placenta moves up.

Hidora,
We are happy with Dr Heng so far. She is really friendly, moreover I am staying in the East and got good comments of her as well.
So you are opting for a 1, 2 or 4 bedder? I have checked MOH websites and it mentioned that ESH is one of the most reasonable one. Take a look at the site.

So you see her at ESH or Bedok??
Cheers,
Matt

Hi lilfeets,
All those items must have costed you a bomb... buying for one baby is already alot, not to mention two. Somemore different sexes, cos everything must buy 2 sets. But, there's the joy of having twins too lah. =)
Hmm, search the chinese dictionary.. haha, that's what I have been doing.

hi amy
ya if you have robinson card, then usual 20% storewide (happens quite often) will have additional 5% rebate on GST if you sign with the OCBC Robinson card.
ok once the date of taka fair is out i will organise an outing ya. Please inform me once anyone has news of fair. In the meantime, we should control and not buy so many things now! compare prices first. Since we giving birth in June, it's really ideal as there the great singapore sale that usually starts last week of May, so many discounts!

Hidora,
I reckon there are many hidden costs around. Just enjoy the delivery and dun think so much la. Most likely going for 4 bedder, maybe got chance of upgrade.
We are seeing at ESH on Thursday but we are seeing her this Saturday instead as I am busy at work over the next few days.
Are you going for pre-natal class at ESH?

Hi Matt,
With regards to the upgrading from 4-bedder to 2-bedder, I have actually called them earlier on. They said they will charge by 2-bedder if we upgrade to 4-bedder even if it's due to them not having enough wards. Did they tell you otherwise?
I dun think I'm gng for the pre-natal class. After comparing the classes at TMC and ESH, I feel that TMC's classes are more informative. But I'm also not taking up the TMC pre natal class lah, since it's not cheap. =p Gonna sought help from my confinement lady instead.
