Hi J&M,
No worries, glad to be of help!
Yes, like you mentioned, the diaper/maternity pad etc are included in the package though I'm not sure regarding the quantity of each item that's included in the package, but I didn't have to top up for these items.. anyway do remember to bring the open packets home since it's all included in the bill.
As for keeping the baby in the ward, yes you're allowed to do so, but I let the nurses bring the baby back to the nursery at night, and only bring her to me at 4 hourly intervals so I can get some rest! Most babies are quite sleepy after birth, so even if you keep the baby in the room with you, the baby may not wake up in time for her feeds regularly, which means you'll have to watch the clock yourself. So I preferred to keep my baby in the nursery at night...
Having the baby back at the nursery also helps since the nurses could help change the diapers, else you'll have to call for the nurse each time the baby soils her diapers (I do change the diapers myself sometimes since the nurses may take a while to respond when they're busy).
My baby's seeing Dr Gong Wei Kin of Kinder Clinic - he's a very patient and detailed PD
