[greenapple]

[starfruit]

apple, aiyo see thislock n lock, this is also one item i need and forgot totally, i also need a L&L to store my FM (i was using L&L and i too prefer this over the tuppers), i had one the last time but once i stop Bfing, ML took over to store her meat.. hahah i need to reclaim back my space in the freezer. and will need to replace that L&L too. aiyo, i should have ventured to the household side lah. supre regret now.



V: yes pls update on OG, pls note, only OG orchard have the members preview sale ok.



muddpie wha very long never see u leh, so far so good?



angie, when i got it during my #1's time, it did not come with the tray. I think i bought it 2nd hand for about $40 - $50. u look at at the WTS thread.. cos most of the bumbo on sale is of very good condition cos of the rubber. material is easy to clean as well.



apple, the WFM kiddy cutlery set is a good deal at 40% off.

 

[happymumtobe]

[julbee74]

Hi jus need some advice..do I need to sign up with cordlife before baby is born??

 

[greenapple]

starfruit - L&L is 20%+15% super good deal! I have nvr come across this amount of discount. I put my playtex milkbag in L&L and keep in freezer too! The old one I also use for frozen raw food after stop BF..that's y gotta grab new pcs for #2 bm storage. WFM regular price item 40%, Bodum 36%, tefal 30% all these really make us crazy! I saw a lot of ppl buying Philips prod, I think 15% ler

My last shopping spree will be Isetan this Fri. Gotta grab toys for #1

 

[greenapple]

mudpie - 1.5kg @ 30wks is normal range bah..I think most of us having the range from 1.4-1.7kg between 29-31wks. I also tot vv's bb is not "xs" as her gynae claimed. Wonder how is she..coz last Wed-Fri she is on MC due to dept retreat which she never join..pray that she is alright and tong till full term ba

 

[starfruit]

angie i used a float during #1's time cos my stiches was so painful.



julbee, yes need to sign up before bb comes cos they need to give u a pack to give to doc to store the cordblood at birth. which reminds me i need to sign up for #2 too.



apple, 20% + 15% wha very good leh.. ok ok now i wait for GSS sale



mudppie, yesterday was a 1 day members sale only, i dunnp if they cont the sale after yesterday.

 

[starfruit]

[angiemummy]

happymumtobe: Dun be...I am sure got other similar sales coming up which got many good deals too!



mudpie: [email protected] is very ok ya? Mine is about 1.7kg le...dun scare me...



Apple: Haa u still going Isetan one? U super on, I dun think I am going le...like not many good deals le...and super crowded...strangely ytd robinson is quite empty...maybe i went too late.



starfruit: ohh then must go and buy a float? Thinking abt the pain scares me...unimaginable...

 

[happymumtobe]

apple, what time you going Isetan this friday. I will go in the morning. mainly to buy toys..and also the nipple wipes..



if I go robinson yty, I think I will go crazy. Yty just received my UOB bill, see liao wanted to faint..overspend a lot.

 

[happymumtobe]

Starfruit, I bought a water bag last time, cooling for me but I throw liao..this time round I have not gotten any nor any float yet.



Angie, yes think of the stitching pain, I also scared.

 

[angiemummy]

Apple: oh ya...what did u use to wash cloth diapers? I wanted to find cloth diaper detergent...cant find ytd....hopefully w/o nappy liners they still works...i tot inserts ok le...

 

[greenapple]

starfruit - I tried adding her previously but can't get her fr FB search. She is not our May2011 group yet if not mistaken coz that time when we started FB, she was in TWN on vacation.



happymum - I haven't got the entry coupon. Hope today I can receive it. My colleague said he didn't get the mailer ler..so worst come to worst, he will pass me his Isetan card on Thurs if I didn't receive the coupon..lately Singpost rather screw up!! argh..

I'll be going probably late afternoon like 3+ coz I have dinner appt at Orchard 7.30pm [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

[starfruit]

Angie, u can use norm baby laundry detergent to wwash your diapers.. and yes use the nappy liners so it dun stain too much.

 

[greenapple]

Angie - I use Kodomo detergent and softener. U can stock up when u see offer at NTUC [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Starfruit, yes, those water mat for fever lor, hubby buy that for me to sit. Last time bought from Tom & Stefanie, now seldom see leh.

[starfruit]

Back from lunch, had nasi padang so full now.



julbee, my #1 was banked at stemcord, i will go back to them



Angie, tiger, thermos and zorijushi (elephant brand) are good brands to buy for thermos flask, they can retain heat quite well. go for one that can allow u to open with single hand snap, easier to use.

 

[happymumtobe]

Angie, this is wat i heard from my colleague cause she bought her own spray then TMC also give.



Yes, I bought the elephant brand (Zojirushi, dunno how to spell). I also got tiger.



I can't seem to find my cooler bag for my bm..where is it...hmm

 

[newtoitall]

re: baby size

Think baby's weight is relative to mommy's size in the determination of whether bb is considered big. eg. a 3.5kg baby will be considered normal size for an average 1.6m mommy; but for a small frame mommy who might be just 1.49m, then the 3.5kg bb is considered big for her. Coz will also have to see if she will be able to deliver normally. Guess this might be what the doc is talking about.

at 31weeks, my bb weighs abt 1.7kg - doc says normal range. I think it's fine coz my kids are normally bigger at birth. #1 3.82kg and #2 3.6kg.

 

[angiemummy]

Starfruit/happymumtobe: thanks...most prob will go for the zorijushi one...think their design nicer. But wat happen if bb dun wanna latch on outside during the bf period? Can't warm the ebm too....

 

[starfruit]

happymum, actually very good if TMC can give u the bottom spray. and u reminded me, i need to buy a FTG too.

 

[happymumtobe]

Angie, wat I do is to bring a small cup, poor hot water and warm the ebm.



Starfruit, wat is FTG??

 

[starfruit]

Emily wow 3.82 is very big, was it a boy or girl?

 

[starfruit]

Angie, u can bring ebm out and ebm can be given in room temp, no need to warm. if need to, just warm in a bowl or cup of warm water.



happymum, its fridge-to-go to store my eBM when i go back to work. what cooler bag u using for your BM?

 

[happymumtobe]

starfruit, ic..my friend also using fridge to go. I cannot remember the brand liao, but I need to put an ice pack in the bag to keep it cool. If cannot find, I must buy a new one.

 

[angiemummy]

Starfruit/happymumtobe: ohh...hee I get it le...so store in the bottle then the cooler pack given tog with the medela pump? I am so anxious...dunno got milk supply or not...



Emily: ya chubby baby! Natural birth?

 

[auroa_sun]

Good Afternoon mummies [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



Have been busy lately...



Read tat some mummies looking for vv... i hve her FB a/c. Saw her last posting last sun.



Any1 wants her FB a/c, pls PM me. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 

[starfruit]

happymum, FTG is a very good and reputable brand.. the coolness retention is damn good. i only trust this brand cos this is the only one that can stay cool after 8-10 hrs at least. do consider if u need to replace your current bag.

 

[kristle]

i just bought the cheap eternity maternity bra at OG for $8.90 each(less 10% off member at chinatown) the 20% only apply at orchard branch for member today.

 

[greenapple]

starfruit - hi5! I also ate nasi padang..so FULL but shiok [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] luv the sambal belacan..ops

And I wanna get slurpee but the 7-11 slurpee is not cold enough so I rejected. Back to ofc and eat my orange.



happymum - OK, hopefully I found it on my mailbox later..hehe

I wanna buy the key house for my gal to complete her collection. Then probably get some other stuffs for her to occupied her when I'm doing my confinement.

 

[happymumtobe]

Starfruit, where to get FTG? Does your office has fridge?? I think I will only need to use for long hours when I go out during weekend. During weekday, I can store in office then put in cooler bag when is time to knock off.



apple, ok. My boy want chungginton train and track so got to buy and give to him didi is out. I ask him what toys he gonna buy for didi, he says squeaky toy with sound..clever right? cheap toy for didi and ex one for himself...hee..someone still says wait till he grow up and have $$ then can buy..

 

[greenapple]

happymum - wanna ask u hor, I'm looking at Isetan website, the so call 20% + 10%, the +10% must pay by Isetan card then entitle or ppl with the entrance coupon will be eligible?



haha..boys always like chungginton or thomas the train. Oh yes, my gal picked 2 Lamaze infant toys with some squeaky sound and mirror effect for didi last nite at Robinsons too [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 

[buff_iv]

ladies..i didn't go OG in the end..anyway I heard my colleague say there's a very long queue to go in. heng I didn't go =P instead I went to cottonon to get S$5 tanks and $7.50 skirts with elastic waistbands..hahaha...after seeing all the robinsons/isetan sales promo. I just filled out both the CC forms to send in..things mummies do to get discounts =P



Em: your baby is heavy. maybe daddy and mummy got bigger frame and bones? I think bb size is relative to mummy and daddy size. if the gynae says its ok..it should be ok.



apple: yea, have to have the isetan card (either credit or the points reward cards) than have.

 

[angiemummy]

V: haa now then u apply? I m much more kiasu than u lo...but after reviewing all discounts n benefits, Robinson wins hands down! Shall jus aim their sale from now rather than running here and there...so tiring....esp taka...their benefits very little...[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
