you can buy a patch to put near your bb in the cot or J&J also makes one (green bottle)

Definitely. Again, if you refer to this website, GH is one of the more expensive pvt hospitals. Almost 2k diff in price b/w GH and PEH.

The MOH website publishes average bill sizes, I think it's a pretty good gauge. I think it may vary slightly based on your gynae's charges. Delivery (Normal) | Ministry of Health For PEH, 1-bedder, normal delivery 2 day stay, average cost is about $4000. I think Medisave will cover about half...

Yes it's not a must..some kids might feel a little 'threatened' with the arrival of the baby, so the present is like a peace offering...hahah did that with my girl, her baby brother bought her some dolls :)
