Sleeping and Playing Cot/Crib We bought a bigger one because it allowed a higher placement of the bed Angel Baby Cot TW-C16A 28" x 52" with Teether (RM 430)
board. You do not want to keep crouching down so low to get your baby. Your Convertible Cot 28" x 52"and 7 pc Bumper Set @ Babyland (RM 760)
back will need all the help it can get.
We found that Twins Baby cots were of good quality and reasonably priced
because they manufacture the cribs themseleves. Other baby shops buy from
them and sell the cots with a markup.
Sleeping and Playing Bumper Set for Cot Some hospitals say there is no need for a bumper set. We bought one anyway - Sleepy Bear 7 pc Bedding Set 28" x 52" @ Twins Baby (RM 175)
ours came with a crib sheet, pillow and bolsters. Keep pillows and bolsters
away from the baby as they have been associated with sudden infant death
syndrome (SIDS)
Sleeping and Playing Mattress for Cot Mattresses come in foam, latex, fibre and a combination of latex and fibre. We Coconut Fibre Mattress 28" x 52" @ Twins Baby (RM 182)
decided on fibre as we thought it would be cooler for the baby and offer her Fibre Mattress 28" x 52" x 3"@ Babyland (RM 199)
firm back support. Fibre Mattress 28" x 52" @ Babyjaya (RM 239)
Sleeping and Playing Fitted Crib Sheet Get at least one extra fitted crib sheet to be used whenever your original crib Fitted Crib Sheet 28" x 52" @ Twins Baby (RM 32)
sheet needs to be sent for washing. Sweet Cherry Crib Sheet - One Size Fits All @ Jusco (RM 12)
Sleeping and Playing Mosquito Ring and Net To be attached to the cot/crib so that mosquitos cannot get to the baby. We L-shaped Steel Mosquito Coil @ Twins Baby (RM 32)
usually leave it open in daytime and Mosquito Net 28" x 52" @ Twins Baby (RM 56)
Sleeping and Playing Waterproof Sheets Waterproof mats are needed to protect surfaces she will lay on while in cloth Pigeon Air Filled Rubber Sheet @ Babyjaya (RM 24)
nappies; eg, the cot, your bed, playmats. Fiffy Air-filled Rubber Sheet @ Babyland (RM 14)
Sleeping and Playing Playing Mat To leave your baby in during daytime. You can also use baby gyms which are Playing mat (gifted)
mats with mobiles attached to them. Gymini (gifted)
Nursing and Feeding Breast Pump You will need it even if you decide not to breastfeed. When milk comes, you Ameda Lactaline Dual Pump @ Babyloft (RM 699)
will need to express every 3-4 hours or your breasts become engorged (and Ameda Lactaline Dual Pump @ Babyland, Babyjaya (RM 788)
painful). Invest in a good electric dual breast pump. Electic saves you the Philips AVENT Isis Dual Pump @ Jusco, Babyjaya (RM 695)
hassle of manually pumping. Because pumping out one breast often causes Medela Swing Type 2-Phase Expression @ Babyland, Babyjaya (RM 799)
the other to start leaking, pumping both breasts simultaneously makes a lot of Medela Swing Type 2-Phase Expression @ First Few Years (RM 699)
sense and saves you a lot of time.
The Philips AVENT dual electric breast pump does not come in standard bottle
size but is consistent with other Philips products. If you plan to use Philips, you
might want to just go with the entire system so that breast pump bottles and
other bottle storage containers can be mixed and matched.
Other breastpumps should come in standard bottle size.
Note: Feedback on Medela is that it sounds like a lawnmower when turned on.
Recommend buying Ameda.

Nursing and Feeding Sterilizer You can use the microwaveable. I regret not buying that as it might be quicker. Philips AVENT Electric Sterilizer incl 2 bottles @ Babyland (RM 299)
At the time, I thought that it would be too troublesome to have the bottles get in Philips AVENT Microwaveable Sterilizer @ Babyland (RM 130)
line with other items that need to be microwaved in a busy kitchen. Little Bean Electric Sterilizer and Warmer @ Twins Baby (RM 150)

Nursing and Feeding Nursing Bra This allows you to wear a bra while nursing. You will need several as milk often You Have a Baby Nursing Bra without Pads @ Babyjaya (RM 30)
leaks on to the bra so they need to be sent to wash. You Have a Baby Nursing Bra without Pads @ Twins Baby (RM 24)

Note that in the first week - while you and your baby are learning how to nurse -
it is not recommended that you wear a bra during feeds.
Nursing and Feeding Breast Pads You can use disposable or washable. This is to soak up leaks. You probably Pigeon Breast Pads 2 x 36pcs @ Jusco (RM 36)
won't need these much if you are not working and don't plan to go out much.

Nursing and Feeding Extra Bottles You will need bottles for storage and feeding. Pigeon 3 storage bottles @ Jusco (RM 20)
Feeding bottles need to be fitted with teats in line with your baby's age. Philips Bumble Bee 5 oz Bottles @ Babyloft (RM 38)
offers teats for newborns, 2 - 4 months, etc. These teats require the baby to
suck so that they don't choke on too much milk and continue to suck on your
breast.
We suggest using short bottles for storage so that the bottle can stand upright
on the refrigerator shelf.
Nursing and Feeding Sponge and Brush Use a separate sponge and brush for cleaning the baby's bottles and teats. Bottle Cleaner Brush @ Twins Baby (RM 7)

Nursing and Feeding Bottle Nipple Cleanser You will need to use a special cleanser for washing the bottle nipples - safe for Pigeon Bottle Nipple and Vegetable Cleanser 700 ml
baby.
Nursing and Feeding Nursing Pillow When your baby gets too heavy to carry during feeds. Baby Einstein Armrest (gifted)
Nursing and Feeding Container for Bottles Use containers with lids - one for sterilized items and one for used bottles for Regular containers @ Jusco
washing.
Nursing and Feeding Electric Kettle and Thermos We used this to quickly heat up water and keep it hot - so we do not need to Electric kettle @ Jusco (RM 49)
keep reheating.
Nursing and Feeding Breast shells To air sore nipples and collect leaking milk from the other breast while nursing. Philips AVENT Breast Shells @ Jusco (RM 70)
You will likely only need this in the first month. After getting breastfeeding
savvy, you will likely not need it anymore.
Nursing and Feeding Nipple Protector I would advise using this while you are still learning to breastfeed. It trains your Nuby Nipple Protector @ Jusco (RM 19)
baby to latch on. It would still be painful but considerably less than going bare.
Like breast shells, you will likely only need this in the first month.
Nursing and Feeding Bottle Warmer We¶ve found that it takes a very long time to heat up a bottle this way. A small Philips AVENT Bottle Warmer @ Jusco (RM 85)
container (big mug) filled with water just boiled will heat up the bottle a lot
quicker. Just keep a thermos of hot water ready at all times.
Nursing and Feeding Feeding Cup To ward against nipple confusion, breastfeeding-friendly hospitals encourage Baby feeding cup (from hospital)
use of cups to feed the baby with expressed breastmilk. (They also supply you
with a cup for free.) After a month of breastfeeding, you can switch to bottles
as the baby should be familiar enough with the breastfeeding process. We
were able to migrate her to bottle at 3 weeks.
Warning: Cup-feeding is difficult. Often, half of the milk gets spilled on to the
baby's shirt. This will take a lot of patience.
Nursing and Feeding Nursing Apron This allows you to cover yourself while you nurse in front of other people at Nursing apron (gifted)
home or outside.
Nursing and Feeding Nursing Wraps or Easy Access Blouses Nursing wraps or blouses that open completely in front make it more Spring Maternity Nursing Wrap (gifted)
convenient to feed the baby. Nursing Wraps @ Fabulous Mom
Confinement Sanitary Napkins Buy one pack of overnight sanitary pads to be used when you get home from Sanitary pads
the hospital. Bleeding will continue for three to six weeks but you will be able to
migrate to regular pads, and then pantyliners within the duration.
Changing and Bathing Bath Tub We bought a larger one which we hope the baby can use for a long time. My Dear Bath Tub @ Babyland (RM 60)
Changing and Bathing Laundry Pail You will need at least four: Regular pails @ Jusco
1 for collecting used clothing, towels, etc that are unsoiled by pee or poo
1 for soaking used clothing, towels, etc that are unsoiled by pee or poo
1 for collecting used cloth nappies, clothing soiled by pee or poo
1 for soaking overnight cloth nappies, clothing soiled by pee or poo
Changing and Bathing Stay at Home Clothes Buy comfortable clothing for baby to wear at home. Loose clothing is better Natural Bebe Home Rompers @ Babyjaya (RM 18)
than tight clothing so buy fewer Newborn size outfits and more 6-12 month Pureen
outfits. She will outgrow them very quickly. Our baby's already wearing 6-12 Fiffy
month outfits at 2 months! Tolly Joy
Changing and Bathing Going Out Clothes We suggest not buying any. This is the most commonly gifted item. You'd Various going out clothes (gifted)
probably end up with more outfits than she can wear!
Changing and Bathing Cloth Nappies If you've made the decision to have her use cloth nappies in daytime, I Pureen 12-piece pack @ Babyland (RM 28)
suggest buying at least 30 pieces. We have a maid who does washing Annaku
everyday and it still is not enough. A baby may need 10 changes during the Pigeon 10 piece pack @ Babyjaya (RM 28)
day and nappies soiled by pooh will need to be soaked in detergent for some
time (we soak them overnight).
Changing and Bathing Pins for cloth nappies You can do without pins if she's not moving about much. When she does start Pureen Clips
to move, you will need these to hold the cloth nappies in place. There are Annaku
safety pins with head guards and clips. Tollyjoy
Changing and Bathing Disposable Diapers If you do not want to be charged by the hospital for newborn disposable Mamy Poko brand 30 pcs for Newborn @ Jusco (RM 24)
diapers, bring your own but let the nurses know in advance of actual delivery Huggies (cheaper alternative)
that you would like to use your own supply of diapers. Drypers (cheaper alternative)
Although we wanted to use cloth nappies as much as possible, disposable
diapers are still essential. We used them in the first week while the baby was
still discharging meconium. We continue to use them whenever the baby
needs to go out; eg, doctor's visits, and at night time so we do not need to get
up and change her at every pee.
Changing and Bathing Detergent This is an antibacterial detergent for washing the baby's clothes and cloth Napikleen Anti Bacteria Liquid Wash 2L @ Babyjaya (RM 22)
nappies. We finished our first Napikleen 2L bottle a month after she arrived. Napikleen @ Pasar Raya (RM 19)

Changing and Bathing Bath Tub Seat We bought one but found it easier to just bathe her without it - with one person Baby Love Netted Seat @ Babyland (RM 22)
holding her while another bathes her. If there is only one person available to
bathe her, we suggest using the bath tub netted seat.
Changing and Bathing Cotton Balls The hospital advises using cotton balls for washing the baby's face. You can Regular cotton balls @ Jusco
also use it for washing the baby's bum.
Changing and Bathing Baby Body Wash Some hospitals recommend just using the same baby wash for body and hair Seba Meda Baby Wash @ Babyland (RM 17)
but we bought both a wash and a shampoo. Seba Meda Baby Shampoo @ Babyland (RM X)
We bought the Seba Meda brand of Baby Body Wash and Shampoo because
we liked its mild clean smell.
Changing and Bathing Wet Wipes The more convenient alternative to washing your baby's bum with water- Pureen Baby Wipes 2 x 100pcs @ Babyjaya (RM 17)
soaked cotton balls each time she poos. Also convenient for travel. Annaku
We discourage getting the Bebe wipes - they are not cut uniformly and are Bebe
packed haphazardly so you end up pulling out more than you need.
Changing and Bathing Wash Cloths We have more than 30 pcs. You can never have enough. You can use it for Wash Cloths 12 pcs @ Babyland (RM 14)
bathing your baby, for wiping off spilled milk and as a burp cloth.
Changing and Bathing Nappy Liners To be used together with cloth nappies. It keeps the pooh out of the cloth Lucky Baby Nappy Liners 100s @ Babyjaya (RM 13)
nappy, and keep the baby dry in cases of pee. Annaku
Tenderly Love
Changing and Bathing Nail Clippers/Scissors Your baby's nails grow very quickly. You will need to trim them regularly so she Tolly Joy @ Jusco (RM 11)
doesn't scratch herself. It's easier to cut them while she's sleeping so she
doesn't move around too much.
Changing and Bathing Baby Tummy Wrap Older folks recommend this - it keep the baby's tummy warm. Hospitals Baby Tummy Wraps - strings @ Twins Baby (RM 5)
however discourage using it as it may ride up your baby's torso to her chest.
We say no need.
Changing and Bathing Booties or Socks Booties are more comfortable for the baby - allow better circulation, but easily Various booties or socks (gifted)
come off (and go missing if you are outside). We suggest you use socks
whenever you take the baby out.
Changing and Bathing Towels Also called receiving blankets. Some come with a hooded edge to keep the Baby Baby hooded towels (gifted)
baby's head warm. Gerber hooded towels (gifted)
Changing and Bathing Baby Oil If she comes out with very dry skin, don't worry - it's normal. Applying baby oil Johnson's Baby Oil
is not necessary but if you want to, any mildly scented baby oil should do.

Changing and Bathing Nappy Rash Cream Due to the amount of cleaning up she requires everyday, we would Bepanthen Ointment for nappy rash 100 mg (RM 17)
recommend getting one.
Changing and Bathing Alcohol wipes For cleaning the belly button until the umbilical cord falls off. Alcohol Wipes (get them from the hospital for free)
Changing and Bathing Swaddle cloth To keep the baby warm during day/ night time. We use the thin muslin cloth in Baby Baby muslin cloth (gifted)
the day time and the thicker flannel cloths at nighttime. Swaddle cloth (gifted)
Changing and Bathing Baby dresser To store your baby's clothing, wash cloths, cloth nappies, towels, etc and keep 5-drawers stack @ Jusco (RM 80)
them organized
Changing and Bathing Baby bibs Optional but they might save you from changing your baby¶s shirt so many Various bibs (gifted)
times from all the spilled milk.
Changing and Bathing Mittens To prevent her from scratching her face with her sharp finger nails. Get bigger Master Baby Mitten and Booties 1 pair @ Babyjaya (Rm 4)
ones so that she can stretch out all her fingers in them.
Changing and Bathing Q-tips with baby protector We found it useful for cleaning her earlobes. Her ears tend to get dirty quickly Protector Baby Tips @ Guardian
and cleaning with a washcloth is not as effective. There are special ones for
infants with guards to avoid getting the q-tip too far in.
Changing and Bathing Plastic Cup For pouring water on to the baby while bathing Regular plastic cup
Changing and Bathing Changing Table Some people invest in a changing table. We opted to just purchase a See waterproof sheets
waterproof rubber sheet and laid it on a spare bed.
Changing and Bathing Baby Tub Stand If you don't want to crouch over all the time while bathing her on the floor, we Baby Tub Stand @ Babyland (RM 39)
suggest getting a stand that can be used with the tub you've bought.
Travelling with Baby Car Seat Definitely one of the big purchases so shop around for prices. We found that Safe n Sound Maximo (0-25kg) @ Safe n Sound 1 Utama (RM 629)
Safe n Sound offers a car seat for babies from 0 to 7 years (25kg). Most car Graco Comfort Sport (0-18kg) @ First Few Years (RM 599)
seats only go from 0 to 4 years (18kg). Halford Premier Zeus (0-18kg) @ Littlewhiz (RM 535)
Travelling with Baby Infant Carrier Basket or Pram While baby is too small to use a lightweight stroller, you can use a pram or Sweet Cherry Pram @ Jusco (gifted)
carrier basket. We were gifted with a pram so we did not bother buying a
carrier basket. We suggest just getting a cheap pram to be used while she's too
small, and investing on the lightweight stroller instead.
Travelling with Baby Portable thermos This is to carry hot water for heating up milk in case you need to leave the Tiger Thermos (gifted)
house with baby. Hopefully the cap is wide enough to contain the milk bottle for
heating.
Travelling with Baby Portable cooler To keep the milk bottle cold while not yet needed in the trip. Pureen Portable cooler (gifted)
Travelling with Baby Baby bag Keep it packed and refill often so that you are ready to go whenever the need Baby Couture Bag with Changing Mat (gifted)
arises; eg, doctor's visit. Contents should include: Baby wipes, portable Regular bag
changing mat, disposable diapers, nappy rash cream, spare onesie/shirt,
mittens, booties/socks, wash cloths, bib, swaddle cloth
If planning to feed direct from breast - nursiing apron and breastpads
If planning to feed from bottle - portable cooler with portable thermos, a new
milk bottle with the teat attached.
You may also want to use this as your emergency bag (bag to be brought to
hospital during delivery).
Travelling with Baby Portable changing mat So your baby has a clean surface to lie on whenever she needs changing Small waterproof mat (gifted)
outside. Some baby bags already come with baby mats
Travelling with Baby Stroller You won't be needing this immediately so hold off on buying. Who knows, Graco Mosaic @ First Few Years (RM 589)
someone may gift you with one. If someone offers to buy this for you, specify McLaren Volo (0-25kg) 3.3kg stroller @ Littlewhiz (RM 609)
that you would like a lightweight one-fold stroller. You will be loading and
unloading this from your car very often.
Travelling with Baby Play Pen You won't be needing this immediately too but when you do purchase one, we Travel Playpen
suggest getting a travel set for easy packing and unpacking.
Travelling with Baby Baby Carrier Not necessary but can be good for your back if you plan to hold her for a long Chicco Baby Carrier @ First Few Years, Babyjaya (RM 175)
time outside. It also allows the baby a different viewing perspective. Matsuco Eleganza Hi and Low Chair (gifted)
Nursing and Feeding High Chair You will only need this when she's about 6 months old - once she starts on Chicco Polly 2 in 1 High Chair (gifted)
solids and is able to sit up on her own. Matsuco Eleganza High and Low Highchair (gifted)
Sleeping and Playing Bouncinet I did not get one early on. My cousin lent me hers when my baby was 3 months Fisher Price
old and it was a huge help. The baby falls asleep a lot quicker while being Sweet Cherry
bounced gently. We also seated her on the bouncinet to avoid regurgitation
whenever we couldn't get her to burp after feeding.
