Good baby outlets for getting stuff

A number of friends have asked us about getting stuff. We have been scouring the island looking for things and also getting tips from friends. So now, I'd just put some of them on the blog for future reference.

Baby Kingdom, Shun Li Industrial Park, Kaki Bukit
-great for baby cots, car seats, toys
Kiddy Palace, HDB Hub, Toa Payoh
- good selection of baby clothes, music/videos, toys and peripherals
Tom and Stephanie, West Mall Bukit Batok
- great selection of clothing for infants, plastic bottles and peripherals
Mums and Babes, Novena shopping centre
- good for breast pumps and slings
First Few Years, United Square
- great selection of cots and knowledgable staff
Takashimaya
- good selection of swimwear and kid friendly shopping centre w great feeding and nappy change facilities

We also bought a portable clip on fan from Mustaffa which was about the best buy we had , especially in this weather. The blades are soft so it's safe and it's powerful enough to provide decent wind, unlike the bigger toy looking one we bought earlier.

love at first bite!

Lina had her first lovebite from Russell. That's when she discovered he is teething. Yes, one little one on the lower jaw. Another one seems to be on the way.

Russell is putting everything to his mouth and slobbering over everything. We went to buy some toys for him today to keep him occupied and something more hygienic for him to put to his mouth.
Went down to Toys'r' Us but their selection of baby toys are limited. Caters more to toddlers.
Then we went down to Baby Kingdom , a hypermart of baby goodies in Kaki Bukit. The selection there were much more and pretty good. It's where we got his cot. They have a wide selection and very good quality.
We got a fan from there too to clip on his cart.
Looks like we got to consider feeding him solids soon.
