they throw away the glass bottles 'cos actually the bottles are not meant for re-use. Mrs wong discouraged us to use the glass bottles as it might crack during the sterilising process and we might not realise and still using it.
but, i still use lah. 'cos it's cheapest way to keep the milk loh.
blueginger
ya, using storage bag is not that environmental friendly. but it's for convenient sake when i go back to work.

Garfield, I know the cabinet you are talking about got blue or red plastic doors right? I was very tempted too and that's the one I tried with my fingers.
Jeannie, ya lor, also think it'll be a bit late but I guess first 2 weeks maybe still trying to settle down with baby, maybe no mood lor. Anyway, think Grace is one of the most affordable and she's certified & friendly, so 'chin chai' lor. Maybe got other mummies give birth early and she can do for me early too. Keep my fingers crossed.
Wa, just one afternoon, and you've organised and closed a spree liao. Even faster than BP.
And I'm still not sure what you all bought. What are milk liners? ;P

Hi Kitsune,
Yes yes that's the one! We'll probably stick with that choice cos it's the most practical solution. I grew up with all sorts of drawers and cupboards around me at my ah ma's house, so I think it'll probably be the same for my girl girl =P no special treatment for her *grin*
Today was a busy day in the thread =) the milk liners are basically milk bags to store EBM in the freezer. We're getting the Playtex one from Shopbug.
The gals are also eyeing the desitin cream and first teeth toothpaste from drugstore.com

Garfield, it's a good choice, easy to maintain.
I'm just lazy to keep bending down cos I got a bad back. Even Grace, the masseur commented on it. After she massaged me, I can't get up from the mattress, can you imagine?
By the way, my cupboard arrived today. Suddenly my BB room looks so small because of the changing top that juts out. hee.
Oh I see, I don't dare to buy that yet, don't know how good my supply will be.

you are right that the glass milk bottles will crack. mine cracked too. abt 2-3 in total. only realised when my mum took the milk out to defreeze.
snowbelle
yup, gotta sterilise the glass bottles before using.
blueginger
in terms of practicality, the milk bag can store double the qty as compared to the milk bottle. save the trouble of sterilising. in terms of cost, a cap for the glass bottle cost about 75-80 cts. 2 caps cost $1.50-$1.60 (which can get about 12-13 milk bags). I still find my $1 milk bottle (240ml) which i bought from JL previously those most economical way to store EBM (those used for feeding baby).

Re which credit card to use for paying foreign currency trns. Must check the admin fee imposed by the banks. I know OCBC is one of the lowest at 1%. Amex being the highest at 2%. Other banks charging 1.5%. There's another bank that charges 1% too but I can't remember off hand which one. Think could be DBS.

dor
you mean wearing 2 pc? wear from bottom.... meaning the tube would only cover the tummy har?
yesterday i told my hb about my maternity top, he asked me to wrap my tummy using the scarf. haha...
snowbelle
ya, before using the bottle, have to sterilise.
for the crack, got to check carefully after sterilise and before using it. my worry is that during the warming of the milk, the bottle cracks and small pieces are in the milk. normally i don't use the bottle as milk bottle to feed my gal, i would pour into the her milk bottle, warm and feed her. so far ok.
jeanie
congrats! but remember don't stimulate your nipple 'cos will contract the womb and will cause early delivery.

hi ladies..
Thanks stephie!
milk bags and milk liners
is it xiao yun that's ordering from drugstore.com? i can't seem to find the playtex milk bags from there leh.
hence the difference between playtex and lasinoh is we have to find our own way to seal the playtex bags while the lasinoh bags are are 'zip lock bags'?
is there any difference between milk liners and milk bags? or just a name that different manufacturers use?
