Asphere: Yup! Our first child and first grandchild on both sides of our families! So, no hand-me-downs and also no expenses spared. I bought the freestyle pump as a set via Amazon and got it shipped to a friend's place in US where I was staying. It was a steal at 50% of the retail price in Singapore! I was so worried that my luggage will be overweight cos US have very strict policy on their labour laws, so they will charge a premium if the luggage is overweight/ oversized. But thank God my baggage was just nice! My stroller got delayed but I even got to claim insurance for that and it off-set part of my shopping for baby stuff in US.

For cheap freestyle accessories online, I have not come across any, but I have a business associate who told me that she got some Medela "cups" from Paragon. Not sure which shop she is referring to. Apparently it's $30+ for a pair. I've seen the accessories at Tanglin Mall as well, but I'm not sure if they are cheaper.

I, too, hope everyday is Friday. Haha. It'll be Friday soon! Hang in there!!

I read some of the forum... the sex of the baby is not 100 % accurate =.=
Click to expand...
tweety: I guess it's not 100% accurate cos doctors will always safeguard themselves by putting a disclaimer. I have a family friend who used to practice medicine but has since moved on to a more corporate role in one of the medical institutions. He mentioned before that gynaes usually tell parents-to-be that their child is one gender, but in their record, they put down the opposite gender to protect themselves in case they are really wrong.

Not sure if he was joking or being serious but sounds plausible.

hi mummies, where would you suggest i get a new baby cot? not sure if i should go to baby kingdom, robinsons or taka...

bigstar: I went to baby kingdom and almost settled for a cot there before getting one from mothercare. I guess you've got to consider your preference (size - Cot or Cot bed, drop-side or fixed side, castors or no castors). For me, I was looking for a cot (120 x 60) rather than a cot bed (140 x 70) as I wanted to give my son a "cars" bed by the time he turns 2. I know I am really kiasu. Already thinking of 2 years down the road. I was thinking of getting one with castors so that I can move the cot between my room and the nursery but I really don't like the castors look. I was also advised by friends to get those with drop-side cos my back will thank me. However, my first requirement on the cot size really limited my choices and in the end, I got 1 with a fixed side. If you are considering a drop-side cot, you may want to look at the release mechanism. There is the single-handed release, vs the 2-handed release. Most people say the single push release is much better cos your hands will be full with the baby and unless someone helps you with the 2-handed release, you won't use that function much.

I've been reading reviews online but there is an on-going debate on drop-side vs fixed side cots and whether to use a bumper or not. Perhaps some of the more experienced mums can share their opinions here?

Aksoh: Pls don't feel this way. I'm just super gancheong like that and I'm quite the shopaholic. My husband says he can't buy stuff for me on birthdays and anniversaries cos everytime I think of something I want, I'll go out and get it. Sounds like excuse to me. Haha. Sometimes, it's more practical to wait and see what you need before buying. As it is, I am already thinking that some items I bought may not be used. And I really need to go lay out all the clothes I bought and make sure I remember to use them when my son grows into it. I got the stuff cos it was really much cheaper in US. Most of the items I got are 50% off SG prices. Like very wasted not to get.

Asphere: Yes! I think you'll have lots to go through! You're the Imperial Concubine with 800+ posts!!!

Thanks Cherm! That's really helpful! I didn't think so much into it and just thought that I may wanna get a 4-in-1 cot... then after that I was thinking if I should just get a normal cot for the nursery and a playpen to put in my bedroom at nite.. dilemma..

tweety04: I went to California. Was visiting my friends in Stanford. I ordered most things online and got free shipping. Got the baby clothes at Marshall's, Carters, Baby Gap etc. All super cheap. 3 cK onesies for US$17.99. 5 Timberland onesies for US$14.99. Couldn't resist. Their couponing system is also very enticing. It makes you go back for more just to use the discounts. If you know of anyone going to the US, pls ask them to help you get some stuff. It's really worth it.

Asphere: Yea, I took a risk with all my electronic goods. While I was there, I opened up everything to make sure they were in good working condition. In case they are not, I could exchange it before returning to SG. Only issue is the plugs I have are all the 2 thin-pin plugs. I got an adaptor for each plug to save myself the hassle of swopping each time I want to use another electronic device (eg. breast pump, baby monitor).

bigstar: No problem! I started out wanting to get a 4-in-1 so that my baby can use it for a long time. We inherited 1 from a relative and when we fixed it up, we realized that it's too big and takes up too much space. I can't imagine having that big a cot in my home for 5 years (cos that's how long they claim to last). I'm not so sure about playpens cos they are quite soft and I heard that babies should sleep on mattress with support firmer than an adults'. This was what the sales lady at Spring Maternity told me. Most people use playpens when travelling, but my mum told me recently that her colleagues love playpens as cot substitute. Anyone with experience?
