Re: Disposable Diapers
Mummies: Have you confirmed on which disposable diapers you will be using? I read that not all brands are suitable for all babies. i.e. Pampers might sounded great but it may not be suitable for some.
What do you think of the idea - to buy a few brands and split the diapers among few mummies for trial? This will help to trial out brands and save some money at the same time.

Jaspire, i am turning big .. not bb... all the "hor-liao" goes to me!!! 
At first was quite depressed that i looked so plump. But as long as bb is healthy, couldn't care so much.
Anyway, i am going for my Glucose tolerance test in the next 2 weeks. will then have an update. Hopefully my sugar level is ok.
Disposable diapers - so far, my colleagues who have tried many brands recommend mamy poko (if can afford). But strongly against Drypers - cos they said the side elastic is rough can cause rashes quite badly.
How's everyone's shopping? I have managed to get a bb cot from my friend, a loan set of medela PIS. Now making the final checklist for the hospital bag.

My bb is kicking actively: morn to wake me up, noon when I am relaxing watching TV, before I slp which is the most active. I realise when I hungry he kicks more violently which tummy goes literally out of shape.. hahaha.. so fun to watch. SO at times I quickly video down. Guess when u r at work, u r too engrossed to notice their kicking.

Thanks!
I have bought the baby wipes during the New Year JL sales. Cheapest I have seen so far is Carlson brand, but not sure whether it's good. $5.50 for 3 big packs before discounts. As long as you don't open, won't dry up so easily. Anyway, it's only another 2.5mths to go.
Xiang,
I got the drypers trial pack that came along with one of those magazines. But heard that dryers are not so good so I'm not stocking up on it. Going to get a pack of Pampers to try out. Heard some other brands are good too, like mamy poko, nepia, goo.n.. seems like most recommend mamy poko!
Cath,
So fast prepare hospital bag? I'm done with most of my shopping, except misc items like bathing set, confinement herbs, milk powder.. things that don't keep so well. And some misc stuff like mosquito net. I think will start washing baby clothes and diapers nearer to CNY. Bought a pack of Kodomo laundry detergent already!

Babes, went to JL @ Orchard, the staff there not consistent, think Cherish got the best deals! I was told not able to use my vouchers for 20% discounted stuff, so think Marina Sq JL is a better plc to go. To think I actually gave away my vouchers just now!!!! Aaargghhh

Cheesycake: I didn't buy the wipes yet, but I am sure the stuff said all pigeon prdts on 20% off!!! These JL staff are bloody inconsistent!! Cherish manages to get so much discount at Marina Square, maybe u can try going there.
Ladies,
Just want to share this info... Went to swanson today at people's park. For those of you who want to buy baby detergent, baby laundry powder can try there. I bought a pkt of kodomo liquid laundry detergent there at $6 for 1000ml and 1 box of pigeon baby laundry powder there at $6.50 for 1kg pkt. Saw that they also have cotton disposable panties but didn't buy coz not sure of the quantity i will need. They also have the pigeon bottle and vegetable liquid cleanser at $9.10 per pkt...
Also, 1 2 check with the experienced mummies here what is the usage of the disposable breast pads like? how many pairs a day? and also i saw a BP on Calendula cream, anyone here used it before? what is the function like? do we have to buy baby lotion for our baby? apply everyday? or depends on baby's skin condition?

Koori: oh.. u were there? I was wearing blue tube top, jotting down prices there ard 5pm.
1) Pigeon Wipes(3 big pkts) = $8.70 compared to Robinsons' $10.10
2) Pigeon Diaper Liners = $8
Hmmm Basically, the prices for pigeon items & tollyjoy are lower @ Chceong Choon , by ard $2 or so, BUT with JL sale of 20% off, & if like Cherish can hv further discount with 20% off, then JL has a better offer. Oh Cheong Choon also sells change table & car seats-Britax. They do free delivery for every$150 spent.

Hey Amy, u were at People's Park too?! I was there loh, where's Swanson? Btw too crowded, my HB & I went up to stalls above hawker.
Any mummies know wat brand of detergent to use for front loading washing machine? Is it necessary to use baby detergent? Any diff w powder or liquid? Can we also use dryer for cloth diapers? Thx!
Sigh.. am still sore & upset abt the JL staff ..... MY VOUCHERS & DISCOUNTS! THink I'm gonna hv sleepless nite...

Chewy: yup, i was surprised to read that you were nearby also... haha... Swanson is the shop near the overhead bridge to OG at level 2 just below Cheong choon... I was there at 4plus 5 i think... the crowd is crazy at the shop...
I dunno which brand to use for front loading machine but i bought pigeon since its the most common one that everyon uses. I bought liquid detergent coz i 1 2 fill it into a pump and put it next to the wash basin coz after baby poo/wee or stain any clothing, i will 1 2 hand wash the soiled item first before throwing it into the washing machine together with the other baby stuff. Laundry powder is for washing machine use. I think can use dryer for cloth diapers since its just cotton muslin cloth, shouldn't be a problem.

Amy: thx, so jam packed in Chinatown juz now... hahaha hope u enjoy ur shopping
Ice cream mamas, yesterday i was sharing that i bought Wacoal non underwired bras at OG. Just double checked my receipt just now... I bought at $25.70 per pc during OG 20% storewide sale so there was a 20% rebate in OC voucher. Not so sure if the OG sale is still going on or not
Chewy: Didn't really shop much after getting all that detergent stuff though coz its heavy and there were alot of people there... Actually wanted to go cheong choon also but changed my mind coz of the stuff i bought, maybe would have seen you if i went up
Oh another thing, i was told by other mummies that dun actually have to go to cheong choon personally, can call and ask the lady Winnie for the prices and order then she can set the things aside for you to collect. I was even told that if u r driving, she can pack and send it to the carpark for you...
