Normal price for 9oz is
$17.2 for double
$23.30 for triple
So, 8 pcs at $36.72 seems like very very cheap leh. A bit unbelievable!

Storing BM. I using avent bottles lo. Cos the cup is disposable & not worth the value. I also buy avent BM bag. I not sure if this round bb fair selling or not lo. Use & throw & cheaper alot. Bag is used to store BM which can be keep in freezer max 4mths. Bottles can just place in the fridge separate compartment 48hrs. FYI.

felicia, cynthia,
I started off the traditional way of boiling to sterilise my bottles too. But it takes very long, 10 min ++ for water to be boiling, then another 10 min for the bottles to stay in boiling water. 20 min must stand in front of the stove. Plus it's very warm. Especially during confinement when we can't shower as freely. Then have to continously stir the bottles, if not will melt. I melted some Avent covers.
Bought the Pigeon Sterilizer after a while, and steriling became such a breeze. Just put in, press button, then can leave the kitchen.
Pigeon steriliser better. Cheaper plus can take any brand bottles/ breast pumps. Avent sterilizer can only take Avent products.

Hi ladies,
Juz came back from taka fair. I din really look thru the whole fair as I have most of the baby stuff. A good buy would be Pigeon sterilizer cum warmer cum starter set at $150. There is 20% off all pigeon pdts. I din view Avent as I dun use their pdts, sorry.

piyoz,
You din had to stand in front of the stove, just put all the bottles in and on the stove. Then go back to look after 10mins, when water is boiled, off it and throw in the teats and oth plastic type material. Then u can left it there for another few mins before go bak to take out.
Kelcqi,
Yes, the Via cup can be put inside the freezer. My friend is using it now.

Cynthia, I think now Avent dun have this product anymore. The new ones I saw online is liners in cup form. Can use with the bottle?
Bizznow,
Really ah, cos one mummy told me to buy bags better. But now buy Via cups, they don't hav the adaptor. I called up Avent last week, they said now the VIA cups with adaptors out of stock...

Not selling? Hmm really? Last time I bought in Taka fair so I not sure this round will they bring in the stocks or not. Liners in cup form? eh... nv use before.. cos since e last time i BF abt a yr back liao hehehe.. didnt really update myself with e new products except using what i mention lo. I not sure if other mummies here know about this liners in cup form??? Hehehe paisay...
iamsnow,
This is liner. Like a mini bag. They come with a bottle whereby u slot in e liner & express ur BM & tie it store in freezer. Also come with stickers to write when you express to keep track of the date. When you going to use it, bring out of the freezer let it defroze (no microwave). After that u can pour into the feeding bottle. REMBER whenever after defroze or out from fridge, bb cant finish don store back. DIscard any residue.

I tink i am most ke lian. Work like mad today.. so tired now.
Just read the postings. Looks like the pump at Robinsons sale is worth it. I hope it won't go out of stock later. Tink i will go over to take a look, bec' if PIS has big discount i will buy that instead of Ameda.
Tera,
the $512 price for PIS is at Taka or Robinsons?

Oh separate.. means steriliers with 20% discount? Or just normal price?
bizznow,
Eh I dono hw to explain over here. When we express our BM to our Avent bottle (for eg), of cos we store in the fridge without e teats cos not v hygiene. So we take off the teats & place e sealing disc instead. Did I explain ok? hehehe

Cynthia,
The sealing disc u mentioned is those round type of thin dics which cover under the teat, rite?
But i tot this disc normally will come together with the bottles. I saw that in Avent bottles oso.

Tera, my understanding is bbs should sleep on firm mattresses and not soft mattresses. It's okay to sleep on softer spring mattress but not on soft foam mattress. In the hospital, babies are place on hard surfaces (like a taut plastic sheet pulled from end to end). Firmer mattresses are safer for bb but make sure it will contour to bb's body shape. Also, another thing is, bbs are not supposed to use pillows until 1 year old, although there are pillows in the market for bb who are 6 months and above. Bearing this in mind, if the mattress is too soft, bb's head may sink down and may choke on own milk/vomit cos it will flow back.
mummies,

Bizznow,
Sealing disc for Avent is to transform the bottle teat to a flat cover. Those milk storage bottles all comes with sealing disc. Dun really know how to explain to you so you gotta see for yourself to know. http://www.avent.philips.com/en_GB/products/BMilkContainers.aspSorry leh.
http://www.avent.philips.com/en_GB/products/SCF143_06.asp
Cant help much here.
Cynthia,
I stroll through Avents website, no more storage bags already. I got a few pass down storage bags, but no clips, I also dunno how to use.

Tera,
For I start i didnt let my gal sleep on pillow. So maybe u can consider using diaper cloth (about 2-3pcs) fold. In the market they also sell those pillow with hole. Normally when my gal sleep she sleep on e diaper cloth instead of pillow. When pillow came in is after feeding about 10mins, place her on pillow to prevent vomit milk as NB reflex is different & will vomit milk easily. That why we are only advisable to lay them flat at least 30mins later.
I agree with cactus. I only start using pillow for my gal when she turn 1yr old. As bb neck are still v soft so doesnt really need pillow to sleep.
So invest in a better mattress to let bb sleep comfortable too yeah.

Kelcqi,
Oh ur storage bag is which brand? I never try other brands before and not sure if the method can be same as what i use last time with Avent hehehe. Last time when clips spoil i use rubber band. Some say can use those wire (like those we used to tie up wire v soft one) But I never try. I think Ikea sell clips..
