Hmm... I did make a list of all stuff that I need to buy during my pregnancy period, but sorry to say that I'd forgotten all prices. Mainly bought them at Kiddy palace cos it's a one-stop shop for all the things we need and some of the stuff I bought from Tom and Stephanie, quite cheap also. :001_302:

Will you be gettin passed down stuff? Cos for bb especially nb, no need to get a lot of things. And they grow fast so clothes very fast outgrow.

lml2402, there're few branches around.... Woodlands civic centre, Westmall, errhh.... some others I've forgotten cos I go Woodlands frequently..... Yeah, its thru tat for newborn babies, u can use stuff that your relatives or friends pass down for you, unless u can't get any help from them. Oh, Im very superstitious de... better let your newborn put on old clothes in hospital when u gonna fetch her home Okie? But it's up to u whether u pangtang or not...... cos I choose to believe what my mom advised Lah... :shyxxx:

Babies outgrow very fast. In fact, I got lots of pass me down too. Just ask around friends. I only buy clothing for babies after 9 months and a couple of going out clothings.
My baby cot was from my sis-in-law and clothings comes from friends and relatives and they are more comfortable like what Jo said softer and nicer.
For mum, if go for natural birth
1) try to get a ring for sitting down during the first couple of days to prevent pain (it is like the swimming float, can be found at the pharmacy,
2) maternity menstruation pads
3) Big Ts or nursing wears
4) Nursing bra, etc
I cannot remember much now as it was more than 4 year ago, it will be good if for those mummies who have given birth recently to share.

No problem...
I learnt my lesson from my colleague when her baby suddenly popped at week 34 and she did not prepare much thus everything was so chaotic.
So i decided to prepare myself early just in case **Touch wood**
Its not wise to buy everything in one go too... you will sure blame yourself why buy from one shop when you can actually save tens of dollars....when you see the same items in another shop cheaper.
I starting buying bit by bit after checking all the prices in different shops when i hit week 30. I realised that some kids mall sell baby stuffs so much cheaper especially baby laundry detergent and body wash... Try IMM Kids mall....i saved nearly 12 bucks when i buy detergent, powder, baby wipes and baby wash there compared to Mothercare outlets, John little, kiddy palace...etc Tom & Stephanie is a great place to check out especially for baby's cot beddings. But don't buy the cheap clothings there... the stitches come out after a few wash (thats what my SIL claim)
Hope these tips work for you... Happy shopping

oh ya... dun keep shoppin for bb stuff n hospital stay things.
buy some stuff for confinement too.
tht time during confinement, i was pretty lost what i need.
basically, u need cotton wipes and some spirit (found in pharmacy, specifically for mothers) to wipe the stitches clean. the doctor might give, but wasnt enuff for me to use coz my stitches were quite long n took some time to heal.
i also bought white rice wine (bai mi jiu) to mix with warm water to wipe myself when the weather is horribly hot or i need to cool myself down.
and one more thing, read up more on how to take care of bb n what to expect. i was too busy shoppin n readin abt pregnancy tht i forgot to read (in-depth) on post natal, breastfeeding and baby care. =)
