(2) Thomson Medical provides a small bag of toothbrush, Toothpaste, comb and a packet of pamper and wet tissues so you need not bring.
(3) On your day of discharge, remember to ask the nurse to give you extra small glass bottles of formula milk. As normally they will give about 1-2 small glass bottles of milk (each is about 90-100ml).

i think must choose enthicity - choose east asian. or hehe use david beckham or yr fav idol picture
hehe i chose a pic and put on msn - [email protected] - add me in to see....don;t know if all the bb pic are the same. LOL.
jul
u mean robinsons? yeah i think so, they have special buys which are excluded from the 15 or 20%, not sure this weekend what are the special buys.
if card member get aditional $15 off every $100 purchase + items with additional 15 or 20% off, then will be worth it.

Breast Pump
I am confused abt breast pumps.
When to buy?
When do we need to get it? Before delivery, or when we start getting out of the hse & start work? If I intend to latch on at home, esp during the first 4 mths, then do I wait till after maternity leave is over then buy? Or do I need to get it now to stimulate supply, even tho I wanna latch?
Then there's choice of pumps
Initially, I wanted to get Medela Freestyle b/c it's so portable. But very exp, so I wud be getting from a spree. Cons is that it's new, untried & no warranty.
Then I heard all u mummies talking abt Ameda Lactaline. Went to take a look. Seems ok, $200+ cheaper than Freestyle with local warranty. And it's much lighter & more portable than Medela PIS.
PIS is the raved-about brand, so a bit awayed by the gd comments. Just that it's sooo heavy! Can't imagine bringing it ard.
So confused...

i bought some pigeons toiletries - wipes, detergent at taka nursery when they had the 20% sale, all were on discount, plus additional 10% for cardmembers. so if can wait, maybe wait for taka sales?
robinsons sales is very dependent on supplier.
re: breast pumps
we discussed this before
2 schools of thoughts here
1) buy a hospital grade pump like ameda lactaline or PIS or FS, so that can help to establish milk supply immed after delivery
2) another school of thought is to latch bb on immediately after delivery and bb will establish milk supply.
type of BP
depends on yr budget. from what's been discussed - for ameda, better to get a local set, and buy nearer to EDD, as the supplier warranty starts from purchase date. Ameda pump motor has tendency to lose it's suction power/spoil, so the 1yr warranty will ensure that can replace motor at least once before it's expiry. Tas is working on a BP with the supplier.
As for Medela, think the chief complaint is that it's loud compared to the ameda. and of course, the price is so much higher than the ameda. the verdict is still out there between PIS or FS.
hope the above helps.

Hi ladies
I am really wearout liao. Running around settling all the house stuff. And now trying to settle the HDB rental application and also waiting for CPF to let me know about the reinstatement of dh's HPS and also need to write to GE for dh's DPS.
It seems like alot of things are popping up for me this year that I am getting so weary now. Need lots of prayers from everyone.
1stly, it was CVS, then spotting in 2nd trim.
Then, all the messes and shits my bil has created for my flat, running around settling them.
Last night, dh told me as he helped out in a FMRI scan experiment, they found some growth in his head and he has undergone a CT scan and a blood test and result will be out next week.
I feel like breakdown now, really praying for God's strength to sustain me. Please pray with us that God will heal dh and the growth will reduce in size and disappear. I don't think I can handle another "surprise" anymore.

Hi gals..it's Friday..yeah!
Babymaking: Thanks for your comprehensive list.
I m thinking of getting a baby bath/wash lotion.
Wat brand do u all recommend? Mrs Wong said...new-born dun need to use shampoo, 3mth above then use. But i forgot wat brand of non-rinse baby bath she use?
My mum said...when bringing the baby home from hospital, bring a set of clean clothes to let the baby wear back. This set of clothes muz be passed down from another good-natured, guai-guai baby. Dun let the baby wear new clothes back.
u all heard of this thing?
