icylemon, what is it? Say lor

 

[arielyn]

<font color="0000ff">bluegrapes</font>, u sure u wanna go? It's usually almost as bad as a Hello Kitty McDonalds' affair. Q so long and everybody's scrambling. Must be careful....

<font color="aa00aa">Ashley_Mom</font>, what's the diff between the Medala Mini Electric Plus and Medala PIS? Are both dual electric? How much is the normal retial price of the latter?

 

[icylemon]

bluegrapes pai seh leh ask u to buy...

 

[bluegrapes]

<font color="ff0000">AletheaT</font> Yeah, am going during lunch time. Will be careful. Thanks

<font color="0000ff">icylemon</font>, juz say lah..i will let u know if it is too heavy for me to carry.

 

[bluegrapes]

<font color="0000ff">icylemon</font>, I will help you check on the price of medela bottles and sms you. Any particular size u looking at? Me not familiar with Medela products.

 

[icylemon]

bluegrapes the medela btls is 150ml for the electric pump de...

then avent btl i m looking at 125ml &amp; 250ml.

 

[bluegrapes]

<font color="0000ff">icylemon</font>, so there are medela bottles specially meant for the electric pump? Cos there is an item called "Medela Dr Brown - Nursing Accessories" at 20% off. Is that useful to you?

So you interested in Avent bottles as well? U want to buy separate pieces?

 

[ashley_mom]

Icylemon - the ones I bought are those with sealing disc. They fit into the Medela pump. If you can't find what you want, let me know. I work at raffles city so can easily pop by Robinsons to check for you if you are interested

Althea - The mini electric pump is a single pump. Functionally I think it's fine. The only thing I can't stand is the noise emitted. I really hated it so I use a towel to muff the noise whenever I pump. Gets on my nerves especially in the 1st month when hormones are raging

The PIS is a dual pump with different power adjustments. Apparently it's pretty silent. But can be quite bulky to carry to work if you take public transport. Aiyah, but then again if wanna express in office, gotta bring a lot of barang barang like the pump, the bottles, the cooler bag, the ice pack... The PIS costs about $600 in market, if I'm not wrong.

 

[icylemon]

bluegrapes ya the btle are meant for the breast pump only de.

avent btls separate pieces?? huh??

ashley mom u mean the pigeon btl oso got sealing disc one ah?

 

[ashley_mom]

Icylemon - yep, the pigeon ones that I have only come with sealing disc and not teats.

 

[icylemon]

ashley mom the pigeon btl u mentioned izzit the new model one?? wide neck de??

 

[ashley_mom]

Nope, when I bought the bottles 2.5years back, the new model wasn't out yet. But they fit the pump. Not sure about the new model though.

 

[icylemon]

ashley mom ok... thanks.. i go &amp; check it out. but at the mean time will look into medela btls too...

 

[snow666]

blue_genie, dun worry u sure can recognise me if we deliver about same time haha...!cos im only 18, but i think i look much older liao after preggie T_T!

 

[serrich]

Icy,
Confirm wide nec bottles cant fit.. So u must check carefully before buying.

 

[bluegrapes]

<font color="0000ff">icylemon</font>, I juz went down to look at the medela bottles for breast pump (in taka), they come in a box of three named 'breast pump bottles'. Is this the one u want to get?

For avent milk bottles, they have 125ml and 260ml. You want to get one of each?

 

[icylemon]

[bluegrapes]

<font color="aa00aa">icylemon</font>, if i help you buy, I will bring during our meet up this saturday

[ashley_mom]

Bluegrapes - Probably better to separate coz sometimes adults perspire while babies always smell so nice

so you may not want to mix your clothes. Anyway babies clothes are so tiny and easy to wash, can wash daily. Although my gal is 2.5 year old now, I still wash her clothes separately from the adults.

Icylemon - If you ask our mother generation, they will say they also use the same detergent to wash and we all turn out all right

But I guess nowadays we are more affluent so we are willing to pay a bit more to ensure the detergent is definitely baby-safe. But after my gal turns 2 years old, I use the same detergent for plates. Again, those specialised baby detergent are very ex, cost about $10 per bottle.

 

[icylemon]

ashely mom ya lor true... think for the 1st 2 years i will use those baby detegents, after 2 yrs old dun care liao.. hahaha...

 

[bluegrapes]

Ashley_mom, thanks for clarifying. Wah, think there must be tonnes and tonnes of diapers to wash!!

 

[icylemon]

bluegrapes u not using disposable diapers ah??

 

[bluegrapes]

I will be using cloth diapers for the first two months I guess or rather a mixture cos my friend told me disposable can cause rashes or abrasion to the baby's delicate skin. That was that happened to her baby ger. I dun want to put my precious one under the risk of getting such discomfort leh.

 

[icylemon]

bluegrapes... ooh...
