So far, my friends have been using Avent sterilizer and bottle warmer, then NUK teats.
Breast pump was my earliest buy
wanted to do away with the heavy cost items first... Bought Medela Freestyle. Thanks Faithmummy, yeah, heat is one big consideration living in Spore.. We are afraid that baby will feel hot and uncomfy in the carrier too.. So far, only heard negative remarks on baby bjorn, the rest has got a mix of good and bad reviews.. will check out Manduca!
thanks hopingforamiracle!
u know how to use the breastpump le ah? wa u super fast! how much roughly? i thinking get medela too.
yea lor. i went see avent teats like.. very hard n big. heard not all babies suitable.
i also intend mix nuk/pigeon teats. then sterilizer avent most likely too.
duno expo got promo not.. saw kiddypalace got come in sets with freebies (bottles) last month

Hi spyvonne, I was very inspired by my friend on breastfeeding which is why I bought that first.. lol.
I bought medela freestyle no bundle set at $699 from Kiddy Palace. Figure that I wont be needing those items in the bundle set which cost much higher at $799 or even $899. The extra bottles can be bought at a lower price, wat's more Kiddy Palace having 20% promotion for regular items (the medela $699 is already a promotion price so no further discount) so the extra bottles and etc can be bought at definitely less than $100.
I was hoping to get Avent sterilizer and warmer which most of my friends are using but was already given a set of Tommee Tipee.. so most probably will try that first. I heard from some that KKH is using Pigeon bottle warmer, dunno how true thou.
Will only be droppin by expo on Sat, hope to get some good buys.. still have cot, stroller and misc... arg...

Hi all, I would recommend pigeon multi function sterilizer. Is a 3 in 1. Sterilizer cum food n bottle warmer. Is abt 169 last check at bugis bhg. V gd cos is digital n can keep e breastmilk at 40-45 degrees which won't spoilt e nutrients in breastmilk. N it acts as a food warmer which till now my 3 years old girl still using. Gd buy.
As for pump, was previously using medela swing. The suction is not as strong hence not clean n kena clogged ducts several times with High fever.
Anyway, after using for gd 15mths, is almost down. Was recommended by a fren's lactation consultant to get medela pump in style. More Bulky than freestyle but suction more powerful.
My fren swears by manduca carrier. She tried all sorts of carriers n feels manduca is e best. Her baby came out at 4.6kg n she started using e carrier str at birth cos her baby din like boba wrap which is meant for smaller babies.
For bottles, my girl uses tomme tippee, which has a short teat. Suppose to imitate e nipples n been using them since birth too.. Din give me much prob too..
N for stroller, I hav frens who invested in quinny n other branded ex strollers but all ended up getting smth more manageable.. Cos is really tiring to carry a baby n stroller on yur own when baby refuses to sit in.

I went to the motherhood fair yesterday. The fair does have alot of diaper discount. Other items, the discount aren't as attractive as I expected, but no harm checking out the prices first. Various pump demo sets there to have a hand on experiences before deciding on which one to invest.
Hi mummies, i had my gynae appt yesterday. My edd is now 1 oct. So far i've put on 7kg (which can't tell because visibly i didnt put on a lot), baby is about 450g.
I've recently bought a insurance policy for baby too, apparently this policy is meant to buy between 20-32 weeks.
A lot of kicks from the past 1 week, especially at night. My daily night habits now is lie on the bed, lift up my top and monitor my tummy, am able to see visible tummy moves from the little one inside.

Went to the fair and walk one round. Didn't get pump cos need consult doc see suitable to breast feed not. Didn't buy clothes or accessories cos hubby say too early end up convince him to get the avent sterliser which under promo at $135.
Keen to try post natal massage leh. Any mommies did research on that?
