Hi mummies
I'm back from the Motherhood exhibition! Not much booths though. Bought Ergo carrier finally at $154. Din get the insert, since am not using it when bb is a newborn. They have only camel and maroon colour. Rather limited. Had some good buys like $1 mittens and $2 maternity pads (buy 2 get 1 free).

Nice to 'see' you! I have the same problem sometimes... wake up and cannot get back to sleep anymore... thought some people said preggie women usually sleep alot, but not true for me leh.
You can try Kiddy Palace for playpen w/o mattress. Most of the cots would come with mattress if I'm not wrong. When we have our 1st baby, we bought a cot for him as well as a playpen. It ended up that he doesnt like to sleep in his own cot and I only put him in his playpen occasionally cos since he knows how to crawl, we decided to buy another type of fencing that fences up the bumper playmat and so most of the time, he is playing in his fencing.
One of the mummies has posted the address of Cheong Choon here earlier. It's located at People Park Complex at level 3.</font>

dimpletot, did u get a free steamer vacuum from one of the booths at the back of the fair? they say cost $88 bat carrefour but they giving free like for advertising purpose.
their main intention is to sell their services of using some steam vaccum to sterilze mattresses etc and sofas in the house. per session is $50-$70. but they give us the handheld vacuum for free.. a lot of ppl take so we took also.. seems very good lobang..

forest yah lah i figured the sales person smoked me... din see mumsfairy so angry with myself... so the free goodies seem to become part of the $690's cost lor..
cos medela products really a but expensive the breast pads, milk bags and freebies cost more than$60... so they factored in the price of the freebies in $690.. not such a good buy after all..
hubby asked me not to think abt it already and make myself unhappy...

<font color="aa00aa">Hi mummies
Am back from the motherhood exhibition. Din buy a lot but only the hands free set + shields and 4 pkts of pampers active for my boy. Also signed up for the motherhood subscription. Wanted to buy the tubing for my medelas PIS at the Mum & babes booth but was told they dont have it at the exhibition. Need to go down either to novena or amk hub to get it. Was raining quite heavily when we reached there yet the place was quite crowded. Oh ya! Also got a free tin of frisomum there.

hey mousebb - i was there at the fair too just now. Didnt buy much except for some medela breast shields and funnel. Signed for the Motherhood mag, and collected a free tin of Friso mum milk + goody bag lor. Nothing much leh. Got a Get1 box free for every 10 boxes voucher for sweetest moments cakes which I will give out at bb one mth celeb. Din buy any diapers cos will prob order fr Nepia lor. But for those wanting to buy Pampers, I thot the deals were good. Lotsa insurance agents - irritating.
Anyways, have anyone thot of what to do for the bb's 1mth celeb? Not keen to host the party at my plc leh. Do pp give cakes and ang ku kueh to all who attend (ie. 1 box per family), or no need? I dun really like the Bengawan Solo type of cards as I feel it is so not personal, and I dun like the cakes there.
sorry i just kpo here but wanna share what I know/researched about Medela PIS:-
There are 2 types:-
Medela PIS Original - only got 1 phase
Medela PIS Advanced - 2 phase i.e. got the extra breast stimulation phase
Anyways, the word "Advanced" is clearly indicated on the box. Thus, should be no problem in differentiating between Original and Advanced.
Then for Medela PIS Advanced, there is actually 2 versions:-
a) 2008 version - new sets produced/manufactured in year 2008 because to rectify the diaphragm faceplates defect. You can google for it to read more.
b) before year 2008 version - <u>some may</u> have the faceplates defect.
This is difficult to differentiate because it's not indicated on the box but not sure whether inside got paper that indicates the manufactured date.
I went to the Expo Motherhood fair yesterday, I've asked both Mums&Babes booth and Mumsfairy booth, they say theirs is the Medela PIS Advanced older version i.e. not the 2008 version. But they told me no complains about the PIS Adv breastpumps they sold to date. Anyways, they said got 1yr warranty, if really got problem, can just bring back to fix/replace FOC.
HTHs.

if you are buying Pampers NB, can buy 5 to 6 packets to start if there is sales. NB uses many diapers... also depending if you are breastfeeding or formula. Breastfeed babies need to be changed every 1.5 to 2 hours.
all mummies
rememeber to buy cord spirit at guardian to clean babys umblilica cord when you bring baby home

ya one yr one.. errmm abit shiong, still dunno how to cope when #3 arrive
but with 2 now is still ok.
I'm FTWM, at nite hb and I take care of the kids.
My #1 was 18 mths too when #2 arrive
RE: motherhood fair
I too went today, bought
-the pumpin pal breast shield (hope will be
helpful in milk pumping)
-Maternity pad for 10pc at $2 ( I thought it was a good buy. Buy 2 get 1 free)
-Bought a carton of a "made in japan" baby wipes. USed this brand before purchased from Giant and at the fair it's cheaper by $1.95/pack of 3 so thought its a good buy
- Bought SHoes for my #1 and #2 @$10 each
-PJs for the kids
For Nepia..at $15/pack din buy cos during NTUC promo 2 pack for 26.95 is still cheaper.
For Pampers.. tempted but din but finally cos sometimes when Giant or NTUC has promo is about the same too and no need to buy per carton to get that price.
Ruffles
For bb 1st month celebration.. errmm.. not for close family and relatives only? cos for my #1 &2, I only give to family and relatives and when they do attend the party, can give at the same time. As for friends when took time to come , I gave them personalised chocolates. For office colleagues I did gave them cakes and chocolates as well.

emma_mum,
thanks for the info! very helpful. Yup, I was surfing around and also saw that some of the 2007 models have 2 phases. so was wondering what the difference was. some websites have reviews from customers that point out the differences... also whether they prefer the metro bag, shoulder bag or backpack... so complex.
on slings,
I think I'll try sling first and since it's cheaper and more versatile. Will decide whether or not to invest in an Ergo or Baby Bjorn after bb is born and slightly older, so I can bring baby for 'fitting' sessions, to see what is best.</font>

Re: Cord Spirit"
I remember that time when my son was discharged from TMC, the hospital has given him a bottle of cord spirit. We din buy any.
Re: 1st month celebration
For my son, we catered a buffet and invited our relatives and close friends. We also ordered the cakes from "Choz" for the relatives. Initially din wan to celebrate but some were saying since this is our first child, we have to do it and bo bian lor. Told my hubby for this round, not going to cater buffet liao. Will give out cakes only. Very tiring for both mummy and baby.
Re: bf Pillow
Agreed with Enya. This pillow is only useful if you have c-sect. It's quite exp. Around $70++. My frens were telling me actually a normal pillow can do the job liao. Dont have to waste money.</font>

Hi mummies,
I am a passive reader for thie s thread. Was not active in the forum for my first BB lasy year, so tot of being more active now :>.
Can I share m 2 cents worth on breast pump? Have u gals considered Ameda? It is cheap and good. (ard $300++). I like it because can adjust the suction power. I have been using that for a year for my first gal until i got pregnant again :>
RE: Motherhood fair
I stocked up a lot of EQ and Sealer diapers and EYS chicken Essence. ALl very cheap. My stingy hubby encouraged me also, because, now prices of everything raising (maybe due to fuel), we won;t know what will raise next also. *SIANZ*

Welcome Joelle! I am planning to buy Ameda as well after comparing with Medela, Ameda is half the price of Medela PIS so... Will see if my friend can get it from US for me.
I wanted to drag myself to go expo, but so far for me & lazy to squeeze with the crowd...
Nickypower: Yah, happy that I got almost all the nity grity stuffs cos I don't think Aug I will have the energy to shop around. Keke.. But CC is a small shop, most big items they sell are not on display, only have brochures. If you are there can go opposite block to the toiletries shop called Ocean to buy bb toiletries.

Hi Chia
I was using Ameda pump too before and it is very good as it is quiet (as compared to medela mini plus, not sure abt PIS tho) and adjust suction power and cycle.
But I was somehoe alloergic to the standard shield plastic which I think is make of PP(something like that)... so this round I actually bought medela mini plus cos medela uses a different plastic PC.
But I find medela mini plus much more noisy (oh no..might wake up pthers in the night ) and to my horror..Ameda also has PC plaste shield. Now I kinda regret never check more before I do the switch.

I also ordered from Choz previously. I used them twice already.. so was thinking for this round, thinking of trying others. But no idea who has good review yet.
