I delivered my baby at mt alvernia and they gave us a bath tub along with other small items such as small hampers (samples: shampoo, moisturizer, powder, nanppy rash cream, stretch mark cream, etc), swaddler, t-shirt.... think that's about all.
btw, my friend gave me a TMC haversack which i think its very useful. it's the brown one. it keeps all my baby stuff neat and tidy.

TMC doesnt give out bath tub. at least not for my case. i delivered at 2009 june, nv receive any bath tub and nv heard of it too. so far only heard tt Mt A gives out bath tub.
anw TMC gives out a diaper bag with cord spirit to clean ur bb's cord, nappy cream, the left over diaper ur bb used, a bottle of sanitiser...
Nope TMC dun give bath tub like what the apollo said. it is Mount A that give bath tub. I went gleneagle hospital tour was told they will give small gift but it varies from times to times.. so cant really tell what they give. but for sure is they dun give as much as TMC :tlaugh:
GlenE dun provide anything. Even bb's clothes, u hv to bring your own to change in. They only loan the baby shirt during stay. If u want your bb to wear mittens/booties/socks during the stay, u hv to bring your own too.
The small gift is referring to the bag of love or something liddat?

Loan baby shirt during stay????
As i'll be giving birth in Mt A, do i need to bring my own baby clothes during the stay or do they provide?
Also, any idea if the nurses there (as in Mt A) will teach u how to bathe the baby and BF the baby???:nah:Thanks.
Ya, the baby shirt is on loan. The nurse will make sure u return the shirt when bb n u are discharged, lol.
I am not too sure abt Mt A, but in Glen E, u need to bring ur own clothes for bb to go home in.

i dunno abt Mt A, but for TMC, they didnt teach me how to bath bb but the senior staff nurse was v good, she taught and guide me along on hw to bf ds, v patient.
as for teaching bb bathing i not sure whether the parentcraft got teach anot cos thruout the stay i didnt attend hehe..
during the stay, hospital will provide the clothes. i'm sure Mt A also. but for discharge, though TMC provide clothes, mitten etc.. but i still prefer ds to wear the set i brought, cos the set they gave is brand new, haven wash b4.. :001_302:
yes they do provide complimentary classes during hospital
stay

Classes During Your Hospital Stay
All inpatients and their spouses are welcomed to attend the complimentary hands-on Baby Bath Demonstration and Breastfeeding classes conducted by our parentcraft specialists on a daily basis, except on Sundays and Public Holidays.
Definately no bath tub for TMC... I delivered there in 2008 & 2010.
They will have a new top, mittens & swaddle for bb to wear home. Besides tt, the left over diapers, diaper cream, wet wipes & hand sanitizer will be given... This is actually charged to ur hospital bill already. Other stuff would be samples given by sponsors & a TMC bb bag.
TMC encourages breastfeeding for bb, they have a short class which u can attend during ur stay... Or if u have any queries or need help with breastfeeding you can just ask any of the nurses. After being discharged they will give u a call about 2 weeks later to see how bb & you are doing or if u have any questions about breastfeeding.

I deliver my 1st at Kkh last year,they gave me quite alot of stuffs. Got free diapers samples from diff brands,sample milk powder for bb n mother, got a learn to drink cup, lotsa magazines lol. Oh ya,got bibs too!!but no bath tub
I think this depends on luck too. My 1st delivery at GlenE, I had 1 extremely unsympathetic nurse. For my 2nd delivery there, I was more or less left on my own to bf cos they thought i was experienced (lol! I only bf my elder kid for 1 mth), but I was lucky to get the help of 1 very experienced staff nurse.
yah i think luck play a big part...for all hospital. there is no guarantee good service.
Hopefully my 1st experience at TMC will be a good one :tlaugh:

TRUE!!! it depends on individual's expectation too. some pin too high hope, set too high expectation, thus they feel tt the expectation is not up to standard. :tlaugh:

yr 2008, I delivered my son at mt alvernia and they gave us a bath tub along with 1 yellow baby bag contained samples of baby shampoo, moisturizer, powder, welcoming blanket.
during the stay they also provide the disposable diaper for mom and diaper for baby (pampers brand), toiletries for moms.
if not wrong, they have 1x free class for teach you how to bath baby, but i didnt take that class, as too pain after op, but The nurse can teach you how to BF the baby.
If you want your baby to wear mittens/booties/socks during the stay, you have to bring your own too.
1 thing that i loved during the stay, their confinement food very nice... hehehehe :001_302:
