Jul - haha, the 'somebody' who said was me la.. i kept posting to say enrolment size is small - 5 to start a class, max 6, not many places left. i counted for may 2pm class. see, after i signed up, left 5 places. say, fatBobo, babyS, jul - that makes 3. maby pegsfur. maybe calla? who else? easy to fil up! must be fast.. we make it a aug MTB class!
joeey - just my 5 cents' worth, avent good to have. but not all babies are suitable / or rather, can suckle well on their teats. i bought like one set of avent bottles the last time. only when my first baby came, i realise
he doesnt like the teat. seems like NUK is a better choice.

pegsfur/babyS, can go to the factory outlet shops in the US to buy polo, carters, Gap, Old Navy -- all at marked down prices as its from the old season 
Otherwise, diaper cream like desitin, and toothpaste like First Teeth all very cheap there when compared to here.
Some pple even buy the Medela pump in style from the there... but this one not so ideal since in spore you get warranty and technical support.

pegsfur, i used the medela double electric pump, cos I followed my sis and sil. Tried and tested. I believe other brands have their pros too.
Gap clothes, i'm still buying online organized by Mummies in the overseas spree. Try to get those 100% cotton material. I believe if you buy in US, you save on the shipping fee ... can save quite a bit leh ...

piggy,
Oh .. ok, ok ... i will go check out later
jul,
I think i'll take electric one as well .... but hor, after reading the mummies talking abt breasfeeding previously, i'm scared of the pain & engorgment leh ..
And i found out my mum's lying!!! Last time she told us she dun have enough milk dats why she feed us with formula milk. Dat day went shopping with her at the bb section, i told her i'm afriad i'm like her, dun have milk for bb to drink. Then she said, all mummies will have milk naturally lah. So i asked 'den why u said u dun have milk for us?' And then she laughed & said, 'aiyah, breasfeeding so mah fan ... milk powder is so much easier.' I was like *roll eyes*

piggy, yes, I know some pple who use the Ameda Lactaline... seems like can only last 1 kid leh... after 1 kid like almost end of shelf life liao. Someone told me their PIS used for 3 kids over 7 years!
pegsfur, last time their generation, formula milk rules! My mum stopped bf cos she had fever which came with engorgement... it was like any kind of excuse to stop bf!

Erm... I ask silly question hor.
The breastmilk will be pumped into a bottle that can be used directly for feeding, or need to transfer one ah?
And how many bottls does the pump come with? If not enough, can we buy from outside? And issit limited to Brand X must use Brand X bottles?

sharon - i was reading alot of the threads on montherhood during my first trimester (to kill boredom and take my mind off vommiting). there is one thread whereby a young undergrad (i think) was doing research on myths about pregnancy. there were 1-2 MTBs giving a LONG list.. goodness! i almost fainted.
jul - you are right. pumping milk is no joke. manual one - v difficult to last. your thumb may become numb and sore from pumping.
jul - if you gals said only 2-3 places left by the time you gals started to call, maybe shld have at least 2 'outsiders' for the aqua fitness ba, my best guess.
dear all - since you girls v interested to buy clothes, give you this lobang. my friend who has gone overseas to US started selling on blogspot.

i'm still using my ameda lactaline - it has not failed me YET (keeps fingers crossed). having said that, i don't pump that often and if cost is not an issue, then PIS is a great machine (it was S$700+ 2 years ago, not sure about now) - my gfs who use it all swear by it! i understand that it is possible to get relatively good condition ones 2nd hand at about ameda's price range. just ask the lactation consultants at various hospitals.
alternatively, it is cheaper to buy from US (abt 60% of the price here) - you just need a converter and plenty of luck that the one u got is not faulty as the warranty is not valid here.
as for the bottles, you can use the bottles that you pumped in since you will most likely have sterilised the bottles. there are plenty of kits available to 'match' the bottles/pumps.
