hihi everyone, long time i never pop into this thread.. have been organising too many sprees.. hehe..
Glad to see some new faces here
Yah I bought everything Avent and my son rejected at 3 months.. but then after he was OK with the bottle, I used Avent again *phew* My girl - I give her Avent too but for some reason, couldn't find the #4 teats for sooooooooo long so I bought 4 Pigeon peristaltic bottles.. but I still prefer Avent lah.'
Carole, I think this will be known as the 'pao tou queen' thread.. hehehehe.. thanks to our involvement in weeding out illegal businesses on this forum

Wendy, I did a few from christianbook.com for this DVD set, Old Navy (my usual), Lumiere and Everyday Minerals, Amazon.com - for car vacuum, 2 Banana Republic last night..kekekekek.. You organising sprees? Yah the first few times is scary but you get used to it.
burger girl, wah, head engaged?! Things can move quite quickly... make sure you have a hospital bag packed and ready to go. For my girl's birth, I went in for CTG and ended up in c-sect within 2 hours. Luckily the bag was already in the car *phew*

wendy, nuk teats cannot fit avent bottles =(
so yes, i rebought everything and am selling away most of my Avents. Argh. Loogi looi ah. Irritating thing is, my pump is Avent, so always need to transfer EBM and end up wash + sterilize 2x the amount of stuff.
kelcqi, yes, good idea, DUN let bb/CL choose! else you will end up like me. Infact the NUK bottle I had is not even mine but my friend who loaned me sterilizer left 1 NUK bottle inside. when my CL saw that she used that bottle and only that bottle and now my girl refuses to take Avent anymore. =(
burger_girl, hey, its such a nice gesture that your hubby's family they wanna buy things for you leh. =) take it as a blessing bah. engaged at 35 weeks is great! so exciting hor?
catz, no wonder u so quiet leh. Heh. I'm also trying to organize a spree, but not here, private one among my friends who are mummies. To gain some experience before deciding if i wanna do the "commercial" ones like in spree thread. Am doing Pumpkin Patch - they have up to 70% discount, very worth. if anyone wants, the website is http://www.pumpkinpatchusa.com

wendy,
no lah, its cos the CL kept on using just that bottle for all her formula feeds. Use and wash, use and wash for a few weeks lor.
For the spree, what I gathered from reading those SMH spree threads is that the buyers would specify the items they want (name, model number, size, colour, quantity, URL etc) and would first pay the organizer the total amount for these items. The organizer will fix the exchange rate, usually at slightly higher than market rate, I guess thats where the profits come from? Then, upon shipping, the shipping cost wil be split among the buyers in proportion to the number of items ordered, the organizer will inform the mummies of their portion of the shipping cost and the buyers make a 2nd payment for the shipping.
if u wanna have a look and get any items, do let me know by this Wed yah. I'm doing this one without any profit (ie. exchange rate will be exactly as the market rate) cos I'm just trying out.

aiyah catz, i just replied to a WTB for Avent bottles. Not sure if the person's taking though. But you sure you want mine? They are all preloved, only 2 125mls are BN, cos I got from other mummies or from auction sites.
BTW do you have any idea how to check what rate the credit card will give for foreign purchases?

burger_girl, yes, its the teats. The shape, material, size of hole. NUK's teats have got a particular shape that's v different from all other brands. Its supposed to be closer to the shape of the human nipple and hence the baby won't reject the breast even if bottle fed. But it varies from baby to baby lah. How I wish my girl will drink those cheaper brands ones. But too bad she has expensive taste! =P
Burger_girl,
Yah, babies recognise by the teats. My friend told me she let her baby try NUK, ended up now she don't wanna use Avent anymore.
Can let me know how much cheaper is it to get from the Avent warehouse? I wanna buy Avent Uno. But hubby said get from Ebay, after shipping and conversion only 170 plus. But no warranty. I feel very insecure for that....
Ming,
At first I wanna buy a few to try. See which one better. Then heard my friend's story. I told hubby we just stick to Avent. Don't buy other brands of bottles to try. Actually at home I got 3 pigeons. But I intend not to use le. Let my gal do without choices. Haha... Maybe when she's older, then intro her new teats.

goodbbb, all my sprees are closed except for my Everyday Minerals spree #5
Sorreee...
ming, hmm.. generally banks charge anything btw 0.03-05 more than the forex rate. E.g. I am getting about 1.39-1.41 when exchange rate is 1.34. No way of checking beforehand but you have a rough gauge only lor. Oh, thought you had new Avent for sale.. it's OK.
Thanks!

But someone indeed super FREE, only aiming at the Dover Thread to BAO TUO. i think this person just kena BLACKLIST by the mummies in Dover Thread. This CC mad one, always aim at this group? Like i say, even i that FREE i wont be bothered to go into each and every thread in detail manz.
I will just scan through see who put WTS or for Sale... anyway, there are many these 2 days, just too tired to bother manz.

Kelcqi, i also love to compare products before getting anything. Dun all shopping queens like to do so?? =P haha!!
I'm not sure about swing or PIS though, have never tried those before. They are supposed to have a massage function to stimulate let down or something, whereas the mini E doesn't have. I find Avent more comfortable too, cos of the silicon pads. Nope, the milk will not leak out of the petals lah~ there will just be a small amount that collects in the convex parts of the petals.. if u knoe what I mean? It won't leak past the edge of the petal all over the table.
haiyo, u.. dun walk too much leh! You're still very energetic leh! I remember I was half dead by the mid of 3rd trimester already. Dun wan to go anywhere except home to sleep! Try to massage your calves, better still ask ur hubby to massage for u.. hehe.. OR send you for a prenatal massage!!
