my PIL bought 6 bottles of Panda brand bird nest for me. (Really the brand is called Panda)

It's so sweet and only got a few bits of birdnest floating inside! I didnt finish cos not sure what's the bird nest quality and its most glucose water!

 

[mikko]

kikilala,

The clothes are very nice. Where did you get it?

 

[celyw]

kikilala,
be careful of china product! buy some recognized brand in china hor. Those floating dunno is birdnest or some chemical stuffs...

 

[sumire]

kikilala
please organize! i am interested haha.

i also got bottle type birdnest which i got for free last year from donno what. it is very sweet, so i guess not very good for baby bah.

dollie

medela or ameda... u can check this site out http://www.breastfeeding.org.sg/demo-pumps.html
relax! u still got 3 months to decide which pump hehe. i want freestyle cos it is lighter (easier for me to bring to work to pump after ML) and the tote bag is stylish!

piggytoh

[shanghaibb]

Celine,
I agree with you... foodstuff from china must be careful.
Anyway, my PIL bought for me one. So I just give to dh to drink lor, he's so happy! Now, these kind of sweet bottled stuff even more out of bounds for me

*shopoholic*

oh, btw, once bb come out, mummies won't have time or mood to shop, so now is the time to shop shop shop. *at least this is what i'm telling myself*

 

[thepreciousones]

Kikilala
Taobao is selling Ergo carrier at very cheap price too. Local is selling more than $140-$200

 

[celyw]

kikilala,
ya ya give to yr hb to drink, you dun take risk with your bb.

 

[shanghaibb]

Precious,
i think for taobao, the shipping is up to individual seller. Some will ship overseas.

Since I'm in Beijing now, I can order and they ship to me, then I sent back to you... Let me check on the shipment cost back to SG first.

 

[celyw]

precious,
how much is the ergo carrier price? i am keen to get one.

[thepreciousones]

Kikilala
Thanks thanks.

Celine
Definitely before $100

 

[piggytoh]

Reira,
birdnest when u bite on it the texture abit similar to agar agar but thinner dun tink it look like cauliflower wor..

 

[thepreciousones]

Kikilala
Item 5 which you posted. Is very good for arts n craft activity, or when you really don't want them to make a big mess when they are learning to self-feed.
I also heard taobao sells Chinese books at very cheap books, $0.50 to $2.00 each.

 

[babys]

my friend attended TMC classes that were held at AMK hub.. her advice is: go early and grab a spot where u can sit and rest against the wall... if not whole class thru u have to sit up straight and got nothing to lean again..
anyone going for MAH antenatal classes?

 

[piggytoh]

Reira,
aiyo being fat does not mean not chio mah keke.. sian dun tell me Pegsfur also change slot..

 

[dolliepollie]

kikilala:
haha. im interested in the spree to!

Reira:
will let you know by 25 april when i start ordering..

PiggyToh:
does Antenatal class help? what do they teach there?

 

[thepreciousones]

kikilala
Your Mandarin must be very excellent. As taobao is in Chinese.

 

[shanghaibb]

Item 6-9: Carter bibs (I cant resist these!!!)
There are 18 designs and I only limit myself to 4.
about S$1.50 each

whenever DH come to visit me, he'll be so shocked of the new buys. Now he's glad that bb is boy, so shopping is limited.

dh is already looking at those kiddo golf clubs for his ds. told him he is the same... shopping king

 

[sumire]

babyS
got hubby to lean against mah! i always make my hubby put his hand behind my back to act as cushion lol but he complain his arm hurts.

piggytoh
yeah i guess it is a bit like agar agar but tasteless... agar agar so much better!!
i wonder if it is ok to not eat any of these.

dollie
haha ok. if ur order is under $100 usd hor, there is a UPS shipping charge of $4.99 i think. u can try on the webbie itself.

[shanghaibb]

precious
I didnt check out the books in taobao though. I'm quite picky with children books one, even when my sis ask me to buy for my nephew, I will also read through first to see if content suitable for kids or not..

My mandarin so-so only, so shopping in taobao is quite slow and tedious. that's why I start with low price item. but good lah, if not too easy to spend $$

 

[dolliepollie]

will anyone be going for the new moms fair on 30april?

 

[shanghaibb]

babyS
I signed up for MAH prenatal class already.
Went for lesson 4 last month, as I'm not always in SG, so will join in the classes whenever possible.

 

[thepreciousones]

http://www.thomsonmedical.com/facilities.htm#childbirth

my gynae mentioned to me on my first visit to her around 20th weeks. but then my hubby was like oh, my wife already signed up a month ago. lol made me feel so kiasu...

 

[thepreciousones]

Dolliepollie
Ergobaby carrier is very good. Won't cause backache as compared to sarong if carry bb for too long.

 

[dolliepollie]

Precious:
Yes.. the one at singapore expo...

is ERGObaby carrier good? or those kinda sarong good?

Check details in http://reirachu.blogspot.com/ (cos i dont have access to post in spree section!!)

 

[shanghaibb]

Ladies,
this is the taobao store website which I think is good. They sell Carter, GAP and Pumkin Patch

http://store.taobao.com/shop/xshop/wui_page.htm?shop_id=33483679&amp;user_id=33656859&amp;search=y

Anyway, I didnt compare the price in SG, so dont really know if its cheaper or not though...

Found this airfreight shipment service which charge RMB16 (About S$3.50) per 100g. If go by china post office might be cheaper also. Still waiting from seller if they will ship to Singapore directly or not

 

[shanghaibb]

Reira,
My company block blogspot.

Hopefully can access at home later

Unfortunately, pump did not work for me at all.
In the end, chose to latch directly, and managed to wean her at 30mths old.

<font color="ff6000">Re: Confinement Lady</font>
Pros and Cons. One of my girlfriend was so dependent on the CL that she had no choice but to ask her to continue to help her for a total of 3mths.

<font color="0000ff">Janice</font>
Average price for CL is $1800-$2200

<font color="ff6000">Re: Prenatal Courses</font>
I did not sign up any for my no.1. But I heard there are many interesting things to learn from.

<font color="ff6000">Re: Baby clothings (Rompers or Overall bodysuit)</font>
My personal advise: try not to get too many as bb outgrow very fast.

<font color="0000ff">Reira</font>
Yummy, I love dark cholocate... hehee!

<font color="0000ff">Kikilala</font>
Shipment by sea is much cheaper though takes longer.

 

[thepreciousones]

<font color="0000ff">Kikilala</font>
I'm looking at the link now. Wow! So many cute and nice clothings!

 

[gracelynn]

kikilala

definitely cheaper, some of the prices even cheaper than the BP sprees here. of course must also factor in the postage cost from CHINA to SGP.

reira
what are the estimated shipping charges from Vpost USA to Sing per item from babymallonline?

 

[shanghaibb]

BTW, if you looking at the site, you can also see the sizes available. If you not sure, just PM me the item you are seeing and I can check for you.
