Porky, same as Grace...last time i used to go in to see see look look..so far i only bought the cloth nappy from there 2 times.
anyway i think still got time to shop ard...and no need to overbuy now...anything u need by then can always ask ur hubby to go and buy...if not u will end up with alot of 'extra'stuffs...
What i think would be essential to start with personally:
1. 20-30 cloth nappies & 3-5 covers to exchange coz newborn poo like nobody's business man.
2. at least 6 front-button tops coz i find it very hard to pull the t-shirts over the newborn's head.
3. Pants with leg hood so that no need to wear socks
4. 5 pairs of mittens to cover the hands
5. 2-3 towels for shower
6. small hankies to bath & clean baby
7. Nappy rash cream
8. Cotton wool to clean the umbilical cord stub & eyes
9. newborn showerfoam
10. beanbag pillow
11.sterilizer
12. teats and bottle screw caps
13. A tin of newborn FM & 1 or 2 3oz plastic milk bottles to standby
14. milk bottle detergent, scrub for cleaning bottles & teats
15. clothes detergent
That shld abt it for me ba...

porky, i didnt buy from kiddy palace.. i buy from motherhood sg expo sales.. super cheap.. think kiddy palace is selling at $6+ but from sg expo, can get at $4.50 per bottle.. so i store up for 1 yr supply.. anyway that expo sales is yearly.. so ok.. next is around april/ may/ june.. cant really remember..
i got OSIM thermometer already.. but thinking of getting the touch forehead type.. yesterday saw at kiddy palace.. ard $99.. maybe can get at outside for cheaper price.. porky, maybe u can drop by amk shop and see if got braun thermometer.. i got mine there.. compare to outside, around 15% cheaper..

mommies thinking to buy nappies - do remember to get e nappy cover.
e other time, i used the nappy n forgotten e nappy cover, i BF my gal n she poo at e same timing.
poo abit watery for BF bb n i got poo on my chest.. *yurks*
but if u dun ve any additional help (maid or ppl) to help wash, then either buy more nappies or get some diapers on e standby cos BF bb sure can poo (every BF feed will poo) so imagine 24hrs/ 2hrly feed will be 12 times = 12 poo exclude pee n bath time.. *faint*

Fwah....this thread is running so fast.
Eh...guess I need to endure the fluid retention prob after delivery liew. Visited Dr ADrian again cos medication prescribed not suitable. Then he said no choice and will need to tolerate after baby is born. Feet getting so swollen and numb. Even after elevating both feet at sleep aslo no help.
Getting ready. If were to follow the list below, then I think I got about 60%?
1. 20-30 cloth nappies & 5-8 nappy covers
2. More than 6 sets of front-button tops & bottoms
3. 2-3 pairs of pants with leg hood
4. >5 pairs of mittens & booties to cover the hands & feet
5. 1-2 towels for shower (will buy more)
6. 1 small hankie to bath & clean baby (will buy more)
7. Nappy rash cream (Yet to buy)
8. Cotton wool to clean the umbilical cord stub & eyes (Yet to buy)
9. Newborn showerfoam (Be using J&J Top-to-Toe and already bought 4-5 big bottles)
10. 1 beanbag pillow (gotten from my cousin)
11. sterilizer (Be getting one, maybe from company gift)
12. teats and bottle screw caps (Yet to buy but where to buy?)
13. A tin of newborn FM & 1 or 2 3oz plastic milk bottles to standby (Try to BF first then see how things go)
14. milk bottle detergent, scrub for cleaning bottles & teats (Yet to buy, got scrub already)
15. clothes detergent (Yet to buy)
Where to get item 12 ah?

anxylyn, usually hospital will give u the remaining pampers (already in bb bill). dont stock up too much for NB diapers.. they outgrown very fast.. u can try huggies ultres.. i let my gal tried many brands.. pampers and huggies ultres r the 2 brands i prefer.. soft.. for cheaper type, drypers is ok but quite noisy when come to changing coz of plastic..
u can buy 1 pack of several brands and try out..
some brands r good but might not suit yr bb skin type..

SK, item 12 can get from any shops like NTUC or kiddy palace or OG...i put that down coz i am going to use the glass bottles from the hospital, so just need the normal screw cap with the teat then can feed baby liao e.g piegeon teats.. this is part of the reason why i din use the avent bottles for a start last time coz the screw cap and teat dun fit.
oh ya, i bought the Pigeon milk bottles for BM storage..think they come with the screw cap and the rubber stopper...so can use those screw caps with a normal teats.

can also..anyway i will be gg alone mah..after work loh. see others wanna join in or not
grace, if u r so worried, maybe i suggest u to take 915's advice.. buy glass bottles.. safest!!! maybe standby 1-2 bottles BPAfree so that when yr kid learns to hold bottle, wldnt be heavy.
personally, i think its not worth to invest in so expensive bottles where avent recommends to change every 3 months. (avent recommends to change teats every 3 months so i change bottle together).
