I also brought my daughter to polyclinic for jabs, since it is walking distance and they do give priority to babies/kids.
For other jabs like pneumococcal, I brought her to the PD located at Uppper Thomson.
Now that she is much older, at age 3, I bring her to the GP at Tpy Raffles Medical instead.

I bought Huggies brand.
I was more concerned about the quality of the diapers, as to prevent diaper rashes.

ivy,
i find petpet pretty good for my gal and have been using it for overnight for about 2yrs. so far it seldom leak cos she doesnt drink so much water anyway & the cost is pretty reasonable. and she hasn't had diaper rash using it. but all depends on individual child on how sensitive or not their skin is to various brands.

HI Pooh
no lah, just tot want to gather gather shichida parents here, coz my girl is currently enrolled there. Maybe can exchange tips or whatever to share lor.
Hi Ivy, to prevent diaper rash, it is good to get tubes of desitin creamy, the blue colour one. There are many sprees in the forum and you can get one at about $10+. Each time change diapers, wash under running tap, dry and apply the cream.
For diapers, I swear by Mamy poko for night use and day can use petpet like char. For newborn, especially the 1st 2 month, I think it is important to invest in mamy poko newborn lah, coz they have this small cutting on the diapers infront to prevent the material from rubbing against the umbilical cord before it drops off.
Made the mistake to use huggies ultra new born for my boy and each time the diaper rub agst the cord when he lifts his legs or when we hold him, he cries lor. I think pain. And 1 day after I buy the mamy poko newborn, his cord drop liao..haiz..made him suffer that few days in pain.

hi miin,
i saw the mango sale too but was with my boy.. cant join in the loooong queue...so scary...
Ivy,
when u discharge frm hospital, u will get a goodie bag..inside gt a few brands of diaper then u can try..even got mammy poko.. so no need to invest on any yet.. try & u will find out which one is good.
i used petpet on my boy when he was newborn..then switch to fitti..and he is using it till now.. really good.. no leak so far and becoz the back is quite high so never leak even when he pooed.but huggies ultra leaked..haiz.
well..ryes & char said..it all depends on individual bb skin..

ivy, usually for newborn diapers, it'll last a couple of weeks then u can switch to S size. try around n see which suits your baby (ie no baby rash) and your budget of cos.. they run out so fast..
headache with all the packing.. haiz.. can imagine the unpacking later..
a mummy was asking abt jab in polyclinic. i did mine at toa payoh polyclinic all the time. the trick is to call for appt n get either the first appt ard 8.20 am or last appt ard 4+.. try to avoid sat mornings cos that's where the crowd is.

Hey dolphingal,
Fitti sucks for my case! So many times my girl poo poo, u know lah newborn poo many times and I gena bombed on my pants and my fingers...Cant wait to finish using it and then switched to mamy poko that time...
Ivy, before you deliver, say 2 weeks before, must stock up about 1 big pack of newborn at least. Then if need, then ask hb go and buy somemore if it is good

Ivy,
I used Pampers brand. Initially Raffles Hopsi gave free pack for new born and I continue using till my gal reach 1 yo then I changed to MummyPoko so far so good. I'd tried Drypers, Huggies and Fitti but find Pampers touch and feel plus durability is better. It’s costly but advisable to invest on a good brand specially for new born as their skin tense to be sensitive.
Miin,
Wait for ur call then.

Ivy,
I used Nepia (Japan brand) for night. It has got wetness indicator at reasonable price (slightly cheaper than mamy poko and pamplers). $15 / pack and 4 packs will get free delivery (canmix the size). Or sometimes NTUC got offer- 2 pack for $29.

Ling,
I won't use the word 'Enjoy' but rather she learn fm there such as identify objects sequence, improve motor skill etc. Her all time favorite is when the tr starts to play music and sing song hahaha!
Those days wif GUG, she enjoyed the activities pretty much as the curriculum is very much diff from LNT.

Hi newmummy
I brought my girl to the children clinic that you mention before, Dr Heng. Her charges are slightly more expensive as compared to the PD that my kids are seeing right now.
I stopped bring my kids to Dr Heng, coz she will always ask to come back to her for follow up say after 2 days, and that means you have to pay again. I once saw this lady who brought her kid for jabs and had to pay $300+ in the end coz the nurse recommended her to buy this and that vitamins etc etc.
I always turn the nurse down each time she recommend me to get this and that. After 2 experience, I switched to Aglow at United Square. No complains, I love that PD, his charges for 1st consultation is $70, subsequent is $50 and total bill can be less than KK children clinic $80.

Hi newmummy
I'm not for Pet Pet cos I find that it irritates my little boy's skin. Normally get Nepia or Mamy Poko (he only uses diapers at night as he's almost fully potty trained, and he used cloth diapers before that).
Before jab, give him plenty of water. Not necessary to give paracetomol in my opinion. Whether there's a risk of fever depends on the nature of the jab. Some have a tendency to cause fever and others don't. Ask the doc/PD whether the jab has a high tendency to cause fever.

i still bring my gal to dr heng cos my gal's condition is quite sensitive and she knows my gal's condition since NB. agree that she always ask to go for follow ups whc i used to go but lately as long as my gal is getting better to me then i dun go for folo ups. actually her clinic asst so far has not encouraged me to keep buying things leh, instead there were some things that she discouraged me from buying. haha.
newmummy08,
family clinic downstairs....r u stying at blk 79 too? if so, i've been to that clinic b4 and his medicine doesnt work for me, gave me very mild antibiotics whc took about 3-4days to work and the rest of the medicine like panadol, lozenges he gave are for 3days supply nia. usually other GPs i go to give more than that. i wont go back there again.
re: ang mo minimart, their prices for FM are also pretty good but duno about nowadays since prices for some brands have gone up lately.

You can try Dr CK Tan for jabs, at Blk 125, TPY lorong 1. CLinic name is CK TAN,(right dor?)
Some jabs she have to order in advance, like pneumoccocal or chickenpox etc. The general 6 in 1, she has stock. The doctor is a female doctor, but on Wed, Fri, there is another relief doctor.

Hi Char,
Well, if Dr Heng knows your girls' condition since NB, then is good that your girl sticks to her.
But for me personally, I wont be visiting her anymore, UNLESS bo bian. Her charges arent cheap for just common flu and cough and the time spent inside her room is less than 5 mins only. Tsk tsk..

There are 2 clinics at the same blk. The one at the corner is jonathan something. I went to him once only for myself.
CK Tan is the one further up, the other extreme end. That one is female dr
Just to add, both my kids go to Dr Tan for jabs. She will change the needle to the shorter, finer needle and very fast one. She very patient and nice, try her out.
If after once, you dont like her,then try another clinic
