I've just moved to Hang Hau and was wondering if anyone could advise me on the following:
1) Where to find disposable breast pads. I've been into lots of little baby shops - lots of bottles, but no breast feeding stuff. I do have some non - disposable ones (NUK)but a) they make my boobs look like flying saucers and b)they don't absorb my milk fast enough. Any advise much appreciated - before I drown the neighbourhood!

2) Looking for recommendations on a family doctor/ pediatrican in the area.

Much appreciated!

You can get the disposable ones in Po Lam (one stop on the MTR from Hang Hau) at the City Store (think that's the name). It's the big department store at the end above Park and Shop.
It's a bit out of the way but if you can make it out to Razor Hill in Clearwater Bay, Dr Henderson at OT&P is an excellent Dr. Tel 2719 6366

If you are looking for a pro breastfeeding doctor I recommend visiting Dr. Sophie Lenug. She is a paediatrician who has done lots of work on how children grow including a study on the growth of Hong Kong children. She is also the only doctor in Hong Kong who has taken (and passed) the International Lactation Consultants Exam and thus knows a lot about normal growth of children while breastfeeding.

You can also check out the Baby Outlet at MetroTown - Tiu Keng Leng MTR station. They stock Medela Pumps etc. The outlet is in a tiny nook near Watson's. Their website is only in chinese unfortunately.

I get disposable breastpads at Mannings. They are in a pink and white square box, the brand is called Pigeon. They are usually around the diapers/formula/bottle area. There are 48 in a box and usually cost around $55 or so.
