I am going to all three countries in the next few months and I'm wondering if it's cheaper to buy baby stuff in London, Singapore or HK? Thanks a lot!

It depends on what sort of things...
Gear is less expensive in the UK with a larger selection of goods (strollers, diaper bags, carriers, bouncy chairs, etc)
Baby clothing, if you buy at the outlets in Stanley, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, or the Lanes in Central, is definitley cheaper in Hong Kong than either Singapore or London.
Maternity clothing is probably a better buy in London, followed by Singapore, followed by Hong Kong. Better selection in London and Hong Kong. Not so great in Singapore.
Hope this helps.

Not sure about cheap but some of the shops I bought from and really liked:
Blooming Chic (2nd floor, delfi orchard, next to orchard hotel)
Dune designs (Paragon Shopping Centre and great World City)
Mothers Work (Forum the Shopping Mall, Great World City, Tanglin Mall)
There are also lots of maternity shops at the top floor of Suntec City with lots of baby shops too.
For overseas brands, Topshop (Wisma Atria) and Dorothy Perkins (Bugis Junction, Plaza Singapura) also carry maternity wear.
It really depends how big you are now (or you think you'll be getting) and if you work. I didn't work, didn't grow v big so i just invested in some good maternity jeans, tops and the rest i bought XL sizes tank tops from U2 and lived alot in my elastic skirts.
Happy Shopping!!

with the exchange rate nothing in the UK is cheap, but the selection is great. I liked a couple of the maternity stores in HK in LKF but i did find them expensive. I got most of my maternity clothes in S'pore adn like wheelymate bought exta large tops and just had maternity demin skirt and jeans and a pair of white maternity pants. It does get borning where the same stuff but i had loads of tops i just swtiched between the bottoms. I would spend the money and get some decent maternity bras in the UK as i found them the hardest to get.

If "baby stuff" means stroller, crib/cot, sterilising equipment, baby clothes etc then few places are cheaper than "Ah Chi Baby Necessities" at 38 Eastern Street, Sai Ying Pun. 2559 6730. No maternity clothes, though.

Maternity clothes: If you have been shopping at Formes and Linea Negra, then maternity clothes are definitely cheaper in the UK. One trip to the big Topshop and H&M in London has kitted me out for the rest of my pregnancy! But if you have been shopping at ordinary high street stores, then the prices are still unbeatable here.
In terms of gear, I actually found that things are cheaper in HK given the exchange rate and the fact that the sales are now on or coming up. That said, the selection is miles better in the UK.
