Garfield,
Want to check with you. Do you still feel painful below your breast area? I have more pains lately on the left side. Did you check with gynae on this?
Tiger food jar
Bought this when my friend arrange the BP. It can keep food warm for quite some time. Very good to use. Value for money.
Diapers
Depending on baby growth. Different baby have different growth and buttock side. So some may wear size M earlier than others. It's best to stock up more size M than size S. 1pack of NB will do. The rest afew packs of size S until after your baby is born then you will know what size is needed. So far I find Nepia, Pampers and Mamy Poko cutting big. The rest of diapers size may be smaller than these.
Food thermal container (for adults)
Anybody interested to get hot & cold container at S$20 per pc? Those that similar functions to thermal magic food container. Keep food warm for 6-8hrs type. My friend may be organising another BP (overseas) not confirm yet.

after #2 is born, my plan is to take care of #2 during my maternity leave, and my gal will still be going to my mil place every morning, then in the evening, i will bring her back home so that she can have some time to interact with #2. And, she would be attending 2 hr daily playgroup next jan onwards.
then, after my maternity leave, #2 would be taken care of my mil, and my gal will stop the daily playgroup. 'cos i think it's quite 'xiong' for my mil to fetch my gal to/fro to the class while taking care of #2.
After #2 is 6 mth old, my gal will attend half day childcare.
how about your plan?

sunny,
my mum is currently taking care of my son. after #2 is born, my mum will take care of #2 while the maid (in the process of getting one now) will take care of my son under my mum's supervision. During my maternity leave, i will help out.
And depending on situation, i might send my son to playgroup/childcare next year..

morning ladies!
taka is having sales now, there's 15% off on medela breast pumps. does anyone know if this will be a good buy?
i think the twin mini electric breast pump (not Swing or PIS) is $309 before discount.
taka card holders will have extra 10% off (but i dun have).
just wondering if i shd just get it now, cos sometimes during those 20% off sales at other dept stores, certain brands are still not given discount hor...

hi thankful,
ya, i still feel pain under my breast on the left side. gynae finally diagnosed this as an injured / inflammed ligament. the condition is called Costochondritis....basically all the internal stretching causes it. so the pain is like a torn ligament (sports injury).
nothing much to do, except rest - and apply the anti-inflammatory gel that provides very temporary relief only. you may want to ask your gynae about it. it's not a very common condition, but happens.
dor,
i got a checklist for packing that i consolidated from various sources, later i will post it.

not sure abt the price of the medela pump. but if you've done your 'market research' and find that it's a good deal and you are really keen in getting it, why not get it during taka sale. it's true that when other stores have 20% disc, medela pump may not included (last time my fren told me robinson will keep the pump when they have sale). if you need the taka card to enjoy the add'l 10%, just let me know. on top of that, think you'll get $10 voucher for $100 spent.

Hi goodbaby
Re BHG sale...the 20% discount applies to Pigeon regular priced items, but not the already discounted ones. I saw the Pigeon detergent going for 2 bottles @$12.90 - pretty good deal? No discount for Avent though.
I bought
1. front button baby tops (the brand is Jingle) as per the advice of the mummies in the thread 2. bottoms - long and short
3. Bootees and mittens
4. Baby laundry detergent and equipment detergent from Combi.
Still combing through my list to see what else to buy. The sale is till tomorrow =P
Hi Dor,
Replied your email liao! Got new lobang also...go check it out =)

piggletail,
think they put a sign saying medela have "10%discount (except for special buys)" so you gotta be careful and see if that item has a price tag "sale" or not. I saw the PIS pump forever has the price tag sale on it, which means the 10% disc is not applicable. But i think additional 10% off is applicable and with the $10 voucher, it's almost as good as having 20% off ?
linda,
thanks for the lobang! but where's this guan yin temple?
re:sale
how come they are only having sale till tom
now regret i didn't take leave this week...

bumwear - for those who wan to use cloth diapers can consider getting this. i bought all of mine from online sellers. mostly brand new and a few used ones. cos some of them got as gifts but they didn't use it. so far got 8 bumwears + 21 inserts for $247, it's about 30% off the retail price, considering only 3 bumwear out of those are lightly used ones. seems kinda ex but the cost of disposable diapers will outweigh this in 6 mths. read from online threads that you'll probably use 3-4 bumwear and about 10 inserts a day. only need to change the inserts every 2 hours or so and use a nappy liner increase the absorption. anyway i also bought a waterproof mat (about $20) to put under the sheet, just in case there's any leakages. think you can get disposable ones at less than $1 each.
hospital bag - i'm quite kiasu. finish buying almost everything and half-packed my hospital bag already. waiting for the rompers i ordered to come. eastshore is not like tmc, never provide anything de. so gotta pack lotsa things. and i bring extra for everything, just in case it becomes an emergency c-section and i have to stay longer.
