Shopping Unisex Baby Stuffs!

I was scheduled for my monthly check up today so I decided to leave the house early to do some shopping. My plan was to drop by at Dimensione Building. I saw an ad at Mothercare Philippines' FB account that they are having the The Great Lifestyle Sale.

Here are some pics I took when I went there:

Most of the stuffs there for babies are in blue or pink (we decided not to know Baby's gender), so I end up with only this:

3 pairs baby ankle socks from Mothercare at Php150.00

The socks is 80% cotton, 19% nylon, 1% Lycra® Elastane. I bet they had more baby stuffs there last December 24, and a lot of people too! (Which is not a good idea, with the size of my tummy right now, I have no plans of queuing in a very long line of shoppers.)

I decided then to visit Mothercare, which is just across Dimensione Building, and finally bought this one for Baby's going home outfit:

4 piece set from Mothercare at Php1,099.00

This 4 piece set is 100% cotton. What I love with the sleepsuit is that it has a pocket at the end of the sleeve that converts it into a built-in scratch mitts.

By the way, Mothercare-BHS is having an ongoing sale too, you might want to visit there and check out some stuffs on sale or visit their FB account, Mothercare Philippines.

Then I went to Metro-Market!Market! and bought these stuffs:

29"x27" white hooded towel-blanket from Baby Bell at Php199.00
29.5"x28" pastel yellow flannel hooded blanket from BeBe by SO-EN at Php224.75

feeding set from Avent at Php1,800.00 (discounted price)

The white hooded towel-blanket is a bit thin though, but I bough it anyway since I find the bear cute (I'm a woman afterall *(^_^)* ) while the pastel yellow hooded blanket is 60% cotton, 40% polyester. 

Now, about the feeding set, I decided to buy storage cups instead of bottles since I think I can use this to store breast milk and feed Baby from it using the Adaptor that comes with it (the box includes 10pcs 6oz cups with individual Adaptor and leak-proof twist-on lid). And then later I can use the cups to store baby foods. (Lady M is using her cups in storing biscuits, mallows, etc. I received the cups as freebies when I attended MOM 101 and I find it useful.) Good thing this set comes with 2 teat travel pack and 2 new born silicone teat. If this is effective, I guess I have to buy another set of teat travel pack and silicone teats, if not, then I have to buy baby bottles.

Last Wednesday, I went to SM SouthMall and I got these stuffs:

30"x28" white hooded blanket from new baby at Php289.75
bodysuit from new baby at Php309.75
3 piece set (hat, booties, scratch mitts) from new baby at Php299.75

bodysuit from basics by SM at Php100.00 (discounted price)
3 pairs scratch mitts at Php50.00 (promo price)

With this purchase, I realized that the 3 piece set is not a good buy at all. First, it's pricey. Second, the bodysuit comes with a hood and booties, so match-wise I don't need it. Oh well, another lesson learned.

Now, one thing I'm grateful about is that Lady M got a lot of unisex baby clothing given by her Ninang and a relative, and most of them are unused or used but still looks like new. So I guess we can save in buying baby stuffs this time.
