Amazon.com: Philips AVENT BPA Free Twin Electric Breast Pump: Baby

anyone tried this? seems to work as well as Medela at a fraction of the price from the review. Medela also seems to be cheaper at $300sgd at most. Can ship to a third party in US from amazon and ship here. 1kg cost US13+ to ship.
I've bought the AVENT twin electric pump from babyexpo last week! I've read tons of reviews of Medela and Avent and find Avent more lasting & less painful.

I paid $550. But I think it includes 2bottles & 10 milk storage cups which u can place in the freezer. I forgotten what else is included cos haven't delivered to my place.

Hi Octkid, saw ur PM. Will reply u yaaa.... Thanks....

Any other mummies would like to sign up Cordlife this month? I can do the referral since my baby has banked in the cord blood with them.
Fyi, this referral promo is seasonal.... As far as I recall, the highest nominal vouchers they give in.... Can definitely use the vouchers to buy extra things for our lil ones :)

So look fwd to hear from you ya.....

Does anyone know how many cord banks are there in Singapore? I only know of Stemcord and Cordlife.

Weeeii, do you know how much is the package for Stemcord. I saw at Motherhood fair last week Cordlife is at $5800 if paying at one go.
Cyin, my friend told me first time payment was about $1300+, subsequently $200+ annually for 21 yrs, after which your baby can choose whether to continue (this amount she quoted was already with rebates as she was referred too).

Thanks Weeeii, I think Cordlife 's package with annual fees is around the same.
We still haven't decided on which one to take, will wait for the next fair to see if there is any promotion.

My hubby prefers one time payment Co's the annual fees package end up we pay more..

confinement lady no place to stay.
if rent a place + $ of confinement food n nanny > cost at aixin.
room n personal toilet at centre (terrace) larger than hdb + whole day aircon.
less hassle for family members n quiet environment..

+ free axa 6months insurance coverage for bb.

i donate my 1st son cord blood to public bank. We think thru and decided to donate it out cuz if my son is having genetic illness, his own cord blood will not helps him and since we do not know will he ever use it *touch wood* we decided to donate out and see it his cord blood is suitable for others in need.

for my current, we decide to let her take in all her cord blood. no donation for her.

Cordblood is meant for ur bb basically. It's to generate blood cells. N dont need draw bone marrow. Got chances use for sibling too. But one time only.

Cord tissue is restore bb organs n skins . Eg cornea. But lower chances use on siblings. Can use few times.

Yup! Stem tissue is a new technology. Not many pple sign.
Sign up at the expo $2888 for 5 years. Every 5 years Renew at $1500.
Same until 21 years give back ownership to ur child.
I heard no more promotions after this expo tts why I signed.

*but think July/ Sep will have again according to expo other promoters*
