star,

so i went to baby kingdom instead.. the lady there very helpful.. my husband like the bon bebe pram cos its low enough for me (i'm only 156cm) haha and its light enough for me. he say p3 too heavy.. i got the bon bebe at $229..
tinkle mum,
alot of pple buy the p3 cos the design is very nice, sturdy and super stable. but its 8kg la. but the shop pple guarantee its very very stable. but i couldn't carry it and its too high up for me (so i won't be able to see baby while pushing) so we didn't buy it.. we decided to save the extra $400 bucks..
bon bebe low enough and light enough.. most importantly i want to be able to see baby while pushing so she wont feel frightened if she cant see her parents..
and im super sian man...... i went to buy the "i love mum" new born tops n pants at bukit timah plaza cos i teach there.. they selling 3 for $10.. den some mummies shared that fu lu shou nearby also sell..
i just went there cos i also teach music at bugis..and they selling THE EXACT SAME ONE.. guses how much.. 6 for $10.. damn sian.. zzz.. so angry.. wasted so much money. somemore they got more sizes..and so many colours!!! argh!!
and face towels i bought 1 dozen for $3.. outside selling 1 dozen for $7.50

Hi Shers and Chocolat, I stay in punggol too and my MIL stay in Bedok. Will either be bringing home everyday or stay at Bedok for weekdays, then go back home from Friday to Sunday. I predict that it will be tiring to travel everyday both for the baby and the parents, but my MIL can't take care at night, so I only have the above 2 alternatives. Maybe put in childcare when baby is older.

wow, everyone discussing about first month celebration already. I also would like to invite relatives and friends to my house for the first month, but don't know whether will feel up to it, cause just finish confinement then.
Baby May,
Yes, u r right. Is indeed tiring if travel everyday to and fro. Me and hub used to persist on in the beginning but realise that doesnt work so has to let go. But right now that # 2 is comin and my boy is getting more dong shi, I really wished I can have him by my side every day. So have to really think of a good solution.
Btw, which part of punggol are u? I'm near Ang Mo

I thought there is a special kind of cotton wool - sterilised cotton wool or something for NB. Maybe can use other type of cotton wool when baby is older.

I am near punggol plaza. My friend also used to bring her baby girl from and to her MIL place everyday and she told us that it is very tiring even though they stay at the same area. In the end, her mother quit her job and stayed at her house to help take care of her daughter. So I can imagine if we stay a distance away from our MIL or mum's place.

i was reading all the forum, the mummies all say that we need more mittens than booties because booties wont dirty but mittens will as they will drip saliva on it etc..
i have 10 mittens and 5 booties.. (dont forget when u give birth, pple will give u those gift sets with booties n mittens in it)..
mittens n booties buy from the bugis shop. reali very cheap and save u alot of money buying from retail stores.
i think we should buy home clothes because pple will give us those nice nice clothes as presents.. they wont buy those home wear stuff..
i prepared about 10 newborn size.. because the shop that i bought from previously only comes in newborn size..
but this shop at bugis has sizes from 0-3, 3-6 and 6-12 months.. so i think buy slightly bigger better. u will save alot of money.
face towels also buy from there.. will need it alot when u want to burp ur little boy

But i dun like her lessons leh. she talks too much. First time i go yoga got teacher talk n talk one. Wah biangs. Thinking of converting to ala-carte. Just do 3 sessions @ $32 each session.

Good morning mummies! Another day closer to seeing our bb! Have a good day ahead
morning mummies! woah! this thread is running fast! see until i blur liao..
Re: First month celebration
U gals are so fast! I dunno what to do yet leh.. Wanna have buffet at home but I got a big family and my place like too cramped to fit everyone in. my hubby suggested splitting into two sessions but like what shers said, seems to be very tiring. Will it be okay just to give cakes and ang ku kuehs? For colleagues, i think i'll just get vouchers. I'd always received vouchers from colleagues and i think it's the easiest. but i very tempted to get sweetest moments cake now! looks so pretty!!
Re: Yoga
915, i also doing yoga at whatever studio! but i'm doing it on sat. think too rush if i go from work on wed. decided on whatever instead of la vida loft cos it's more convenient. same question as jacquise, how many weeks can we do until ah? i only done 4 sessions so far (skipped quite a few to go shopping..) and dunno if i can finish my other 6 sessions before i pop..
Re: Cheap baby clothes @ bugis
audrey, i know which shop you're talking about! i'd been there once but i didn't managed to get anything cos quite a number of ppl there the other time (i went on weekend) and i can't shop with a lot of ppl around. my hubby's colleague recommended that place to get stuffs also! I didn't know it's so cheap (didn't even managed to check out the price then i siam already). for those who are interested to go, i think it's BLK 269C, opp the Guan Yin Temple. Like what audrey said, it's all the way to the left (u need to make your way through the medical halls) if you're back-facing the Guan Yin Temple.
