Eh I was given this reply
"We would like to share with you that at this current moment, we do not give samples directly to consumers unless we are doing sampling at a certain event. Our sampling are mainly to hospitals through ante-natal classes or new mom bags as well as parenting seminars. "

Point in note - I wont touch Pigeon products in future. My hb was saying that they are only Pigeon, not Eagle / Falcon / Pelican / Stork. My reply: They are like bloody sparrows.

oops... maybe too many requests at a time?! but their sample not fantastic la... 5 trial wipes in a pack, once u open you cant keep cuz they do not have the re-sealer! kinda idiotic packaging...

Sometimes that's why my mom and my hb said I am a kiam kana. But the irony is hor...My mom also compares prices lor. Tho prolly she isnt as savvy when it comes to using the internet. So she only compare Sheng Siong vs NTUC.

My colls also cannot imagine that I am planning to buy diapers fr amazon whahaa. But i test 1 pack only first make sure ok

compAre the price difference loll. that's why that day i told my HK manager i am getting most of the stuff online.

E.g. carter's PJs maybe like 5 or 6 USD. i tink for that amt.... mebbe can only go NTUC and buy the not so nice looking clothes? the more decent looking ones i saw at robinsons was like 12 bucks or sth. but that time i chin chye buy cos i wanted front button tops...cant be letting princess wear white gerber side snap shirts everyday

ya i used to buy a lot of kodomo wipes when watsons has offer... but hor... after a while I feel their wipes too thin, i think i prefer the U baby wipes from NTUC...
Click to expand...
What brand is U baby wipes nv hear before leh...

I really like the NUK baby wipes, it's really very thick, and when I use it on myself, I feel that I can use and fold over and reuse and it doesn't feel gross, if you know what I mean.

So happy I bought this during the pre order... will continue to use NUK!

Pre order is $59 for a box of 21 packs, with each pack of 80 pcs, works out to about 0.035 per pcs...

Pigeon normal wipe is quite thin, however, if you get the blue moisturising one, that is thicker and more durable, but of course, more exp lah.

Click to expand...

Yeah, EDD will keep on changing if you refer to the EDD that appears on the screen during the scan, but that EDD is based on bb size leh, not on LMP. Dr Tham says EDD doesn't change should just base it on the first EDD you were given....

Is it true that some hospitals don't allow you to bring bb home if you're driving unless you have an infant car seat? Beware the weight of Stokke strollers, I'm petite and I find it damn heavy!

Expensive, bulky and heavy... I couldn't even lift it off the platform at Mothercare leh...

If you take public transport, def consider a lightweight, smaller stroller which is easy to maneuver around.... The big strollers (Storkke, Quinny, Peg Perego (they have different range though) have a big turning radius, very hard to move around in tight spaces.
 
gammahedging said:
Say that is not my baby. I help take care of someone bb . i got no bb so no car seat :p

the day I discharged with my baby, my CL was with me...so I did not let BB sit in the car seat! but subsequent car trips she was buckled up till now except overseas trips...

Not true. #1 time I still haven't got my car seat. I carry him in my arms. Even during the follow up check, nanny also carry him. Still no car seat then...
