I also thought that since baby gonna change diapers so often, might as well buy the cheapest brand there is. Cos i wouldnt want my boy to get diaper rash when he is just a few days old due the pee & poo's chemical reaction. So dont need to really buy those super absorbent one bah. Plus first month got CL XDD

For the shipping charges, I really think that it is not that cheap lah. Example, if you share shipping with 2 people, meaning for the vPOST basic charge will be $12.XX divide by 2 lor. So you only save $6 only.

For my Freestyle, I got with 2 x pump & save (50s), 1 Breastmilk feeding & gift set (3 milk bottles, 6 BM storage container, 1x 20s pump & save). She packed it like this -> http://rabu-rabu.org/reira/img/medela.jpg (still got a lots of space!!)

For the total shipping price would be $47.38

Ya I paid GST for all the misc items I bought too but still far cheaper than buy in singapore. Example Pump & Save (50s), 1 pack cost me only S$28 with shipping + GST. For Freestyle itself, I spent roughly S$530.

For the GST part, I only spent S$94.93 - S$88.72 = S$6.21 on GST. Who knows how much the shipping will cost if join other spree right? Maybe only save like $5 - $10 but so troublesome have to go and collect and drag them back home.

Hope this is not too confusing @_@

Thanks abt Angel Wipes at JL Orchard.

I very KS. I must have 9 or 10 packs of Pigeon breastpads liao. Sound like I very confident I will be a cow hor?

I bot Hush Puppies disposable cotton panties yest - $10 for 2 packs of 5. I liked the quality very much. Not sure if I'll use them for confinement coz a bit expensive. Can keep for other purposes. See how lah. Will keep a lookout for cheaper ones haha.

I need to get PJs with front opening hor. Hmm..

babys

Thanks abt the JL sale. Maybe I'll go over 2moro & take a look. Since I wanna get small packs of BB wipes for bringing out. My HB will faint when he hears I'm gog shopping again!
 
babys

I very KS hor? I also bot BB wipes, cotton buds, cotton balls, detergent for bottles, laundry powder, sponge bottle brush, teats brush, nail scissors, comb & brush, etc etc... Must say that I deserve shares in Pigeon liao!

Oh I got Pigeon steriliser too.

Hmm.. think I shd give other brands a try. What I really wanna try is the small pack of J&J or Angel BB wipes.

Babylet also got some clothes, can tong liao. Just need bath towels, I think... Oh & no bath tub yet.

As for me, I think I haven't gotten PJs, confinement herbs (but that can leave to MIL * evil luff*).

And I need to move furniture coz am shifting rooms. And after that ned to set up cot, get those cheap Toyogo drawers... And buy car seat! wah like a lot to do still...

Oh so the PJs are 2 pc ones? I want the one-pc, dress types.
 
RERIa
no, not confusing.. hahaa i oso wondered why ppl get the freestyles from sprees, coz like not much savings..and likewise, sometimes i prefer to do purchases my own... hey..but the GST portion, i dun understand:$94.93 - S$88.72 = S$6.21 on GST .. i need more on accessories coz some of the spare parts for my PIS getting old. :p

yeah, with this purchase, i am gonna have 3 pumps, 1 FREEstyle, 1 PIS, 1 AVEnt manual :D

pJs
dun need to get so many PJs.. at homes easier to wear t-shirt and remove..
 
jul
hahaha me oso uses pigeon products.. hey, u can try calling cheong choon.. they have the cheapest pigeon products even when compared to sales.. free delivery to ur place if u meet a certain price
 
sharon

reira

Yeah I also a bit worried lah. I paid $400 deposit leh!

Heehee I only had my first antenatal class on Sun. Mostly exercises. And food nutrition - which is by now too late for me, coz almost gog to pop liao! hahaha

Erm. u mean PD taught not to dig ears, or he taught a way to dig ears??
 
smurfy

Oh I like wearing the dress PJs. It's my habit since dunno when when my mum started buying me those dress PJs from pasar malam. I feel funny if I have to wear t-shirts & shorts, or those top & pants PJs.

Oh issit? I tot CHeong Choon only sells big items like strollers, cots etc? U mean they sell sundries like wipes, cotton balls etc too? I tot it was another shop that sells these
 
smurfy,
wow! you got so many pumps.. I just got a Avent manual pump from a friend as gift. I was wonder if I need to get the medela or not now.
when to use the manual and auto pump?
 
smurfy
oh for the $94.93 - S$88.72 = S$6.21 on GST portion, $88.72 is how much i spent on misc items and 7% of $88.72 is $6.21. Whoa! why did you get 3 pumps!? PIS is good enough right?

for cheong choon, what is their number? i know their pigeon cloth diaper selling at $24 but since taka got sale, should be $26 - 20% = $20.80 bah.

taka sale
just check with them today and they said the 20% offer will be until end of june for pigeon. guess i will be going down today to get all those misc small items! =)

just finish washing all my baby's clothes! waiting for the bodysuits to dry now, hopefully no rain when i go out to shop haha else tomorrow have to re-wash again @_@ I am storing all the washed baby cloth items in those air sealed bag to prevent any dust from getting it.

o.o u paid $400 deposit on what?! PD taught not to dig ears. During the doctor talk, he talk about what some stuffs parents do just cos being too paranoid and concern but sometimes will do more harm than good. some stuffs really doesnt bother baby. I do know that ears wax is to protect our ears and ear can auto-clean itself dont really need to go dig de (i think learn from bio class last time... forgot liao) but i still does that for the sake of it haha.
