Oh found this site that seems to have a buy one get one free on conceive plus... Not sure if it's still valid : Mr & Mrs Smith: The Couple Store | Product Catalogue
One other consideration that you may have is the length of warranty. If you buy before you deliver, then the warranty period is "shortened" since you won't likely be using it till the baby is born.
If its a blocked duct (sounds like it), try massaging it away. Use your palms and press against it. U got to press really hard. Use your other hand to add pressure if needed. Massage the surrounding areas as well. Try pressing and expressing at the same time. Might take a while to clear it. If...
Or apply cabbage like crazy? I overheard this being discussed the day I was at the LC's clinic. She mentioned something like applying regularly until the milk disappears. Sounds weird, but the cabbage treatment really works to relieve engorgement. Makes sense for it to help with weaning as well.
Yah lor my son also the same! Likes to pull himself up and play "stand-stand". He is now groping his way around the rails and moving full circles around the bed. But now the situation is a little better. He has learnt how to sit down instead of just free-falling. Agreed the bumpers aren't...
Hi
Think my 7mo baby boy is learning to stand. He now likes to hold onto the sides of the crib and pull himself up to standing position. And when he gets tired (usually quite fast), he will just let go, fall, and hit his head on the sides. I am worried that he might hurt himself at night when...
Yup. The personal fit shields are okay for use with Freestyle. Its written in the booklet. Plus the softfit only comes in medium size. So if you need any other sizes, personal fit provides the options.
I think the instructions said that its okay to boil the softfits. I did that for my first...
I got confused by the instructions in the booklet too. And then I came across this article which got me even more confused about whether can steam sterilize or not: Diva - Steamed up over baby items. I knew I would steam sterilize before each use so I switched almost immediately to the personal...
Uh... about the sterilize part... You may want to read this before buying a used pump: Used Breast Pumps - Breastfeeding Online
The article may sound a little paranoid but its good information to know before you purchase rather then later.
Agree with dujuanrosa. Breastfeeding is not cheap. Add...
I was also worried about the discolouring/out of shape thingy so I bought a set of Medela personal fit shields (the hard kind). Apart from the tubes, everything else goes into my Pigeon sterilizer.
Do you also sterilize the tubes?
While researching for milk for my little boy, found this article that explains in a scientific way, the differences between the milk formulas:

Hi
My baby is 7 months old and was exclusively breast fed. We are trying to introduce him to formula, but each time he drinks it, he breaks out into rashes. His mouth turns red, arms turn red, legs and belly also.
Could he be allergic to the formula? Or perhaps because we are using the...
I'm now using Freestyle. Excellent pump. Also got the US version. What I like about it is the battery pack. This means that if my son does not want to drink milk in the morning, I can pump discreetly at the back of the car while my hubby drives us. In that way I can save 1 pump session at...
Think if you need to change the shield, you can always buy PersonalFit shields from most outlets that carry Medela products. I've seen it at Mothercare and Mums&Babes. More info here: Breastfeeding Information Guide - Medela
I believe "childcare" is the general term used to described a school for infants and toddlers.
And "playgroup" is the name of the class that babies between 18 months and 2-3 years will attend.
Afterwhich they will attend nursery and kindergarten.
