Mummy And Baby: Baby's Stuffs - Feeding & Bath

Been quite busy for the passed few weeks as it is getting closer to my due date. As of 17/10/2015, baby's 8 months already. 

There are so many things to do, yet so little time... Really hope that there's 48 hours A DAY!! :(
I need to shop for baby's stuffs, starting to train my staffs to take over my task when I'm on ML, attended some parenting/mama's classes, my brother just had his wedding last weekend and I spent almost two weeks to DIY his Wedding Gift (There's a separate post on that!!!). That's a lot to do for a pregnant woman.... :X

Baby's stuffs are almost ready, maybe for some minor stuffs that I've missed out. I haven't really get anything for myself yet.

Remember the newborn checklist I had posted, I did some changes to it so let's see what have I got for her!

Feeding

1. Breast Pump
What I wanted: Medela Freestyle Double Electric Breast Pump $490++
What I actually bought: Unimom Allegro Electric Breast Pump $149 (Baby Fair price + Gifts)


Breast feeding is not an easy task, and if you do not have a good breast pump, it just make the task even harder. I do want to save some money but at the same time I need a good breast pump to make the job easier. Unable to tell you how good it is as I haven't start using it. But I've googled online and found some positive reviews. I got it at a good deal at the baby fair. This is a single rechargable and portable breast pump but also convertible to a double pump or manual pump. Also comes with a free cooler bag with 5 milk storage bottles & 2 ice packs!

2. Nursing Pads
What I wanted: No Preferences
What I actually bought: Philips Avent Day & Night Breast Pads 30pcs $7.90/ 20pcs $7.90 (Metro Sale)


My mummy friends recommended me this brand so I just buy to try lah...
Extra Samples to try: Tollyjoy Day & Night Disposable Nursing Pads & NUK Ultra Dry Breast Pads

3. Breast Milk Storage Bottle/Bag
What I wanted: No Perferences
What I actually bought: Nothing


I got the the Friso bottles as gifts when I attended some parenting classes and when I bought my breast pump, I got 5 Unimum storage bottles too. Not sure if it will be enough or not. May get some storage bags if needed!

4. Nipple Cream
What I wanted: No Preferences
What I actually bought: Not Yet
Haven't really buy anything for myself yet, maybe in the coming month instead.

5. Nursing Bra
What I wanted: No Preference
What I actually bought: Autumnz Nursing Bra, 2 for $28
I bought these from Youhaveababy at the recent Baby fair. They are super comfy, and I'm gonna get more...

6. Silicon Nipples
What I wanted: No Preferences
What I actually bought: 1. Munchkin Latch 3m+/6m+ $11.90/$11.90 (Isetan after 20% discount)


2. Phillips Avent 6m+ Fast flow teats 


Since I bought the bottles, I need the nipples too.... 

7. Feeding Bottles
What I wanted: Munchkin Latch Anti-Colic Bottle
What I actually bought: 1. Munchkin Latch Stage 1 120ml/236ml $21.90 (Baby Fair Price 2 for 1 deal)


2. Phillips Avent Classic Feeding Bottle 125ml 0m+/260ml 1m+ $11.90/$9.00 (Metro)


Babies can be picky so I bought 2 brands, hopefully, she will love one of them.

8. Bottle Brush
What I wanted: No Preference
What I actually bought: Munchkin Latch Deluxe Bottle & Valve Brush
Since I already bought the bottles, I needed the brush too. But I'll be getting another one for the Phillip Avent feeding bottles too!

9. Drying Rack
What I wanted: Munchkin Latch Drying Rack
What I actually bought: No brand bottle rack with cover $12.90 (John Little)

5. Bathtub
What I wanted: Any foldable bathtub
What I actually bought: Nothing
Mum had given me a baby bathtub as part of my wedding dowry so both hubby and me thought that we should use it. But we are going to buy the a newborn support to make the bathing more manageable!

6. Towel

What I actually bought: Not Yet

7. Wash Cloth

Diaper Liners $138 (Baby Fair Package deal/Also includes a small tin of Happyganics Laundry Soda)


Read some good reviews online, and the deal was irresistible, so I bought it.

12. Diapers (Disposable)
What I wanted: MamyPoko
What I actually bought: MamyPoko Newborn 80pcs X 2 $35 (Baby Fair Price + Free Gift)
I'm recommended to this brand by many of my mummy friends. They have no problems and their babies love it. I know that it still depends on individual baby's condition.

I have not buy most of the baby bathing items as I feel that it's still too early and these items do have a manufacturing and expiry date. So I will be buying them in Nov instead when it gets closer to my EDD.

Want to know what else I got for my little girl, do keep a lookout for the next post!! :)

Lotsa LOVE,
Annette

Mummy And Baby: Hospital Checklist

It is never too early to prepare your bags for delivery. You wouldn't want to run around the house packing your bag after your water bag burst. It is good to make sure your hospital bag is ready at least 2 weeks before your EDD, or even earlier. And it must be place somewhere where it is easy to access in case of emergency. Make sure your family members, siblings and husband know where the bag is, so in case you really forgot, they can help you to bring over to the hospital. So what should we pack in the bag? I will list them out in 4 different parts. 1. Documentation  For Admission:  1. Mother's IC 2. Admission Form For Baby's Birth Registration 1. Mother's IC 2. Father's IC 3. Marriage Certificate Do check with your hospital for the required documents. 2. Mummy 1. Mobile phone & charger -  Keep your family members updated of your situation. Keeps you entertain while waiting and to take ...

Career Switch @ Age 35

If you have went through this, you will know how I feel.... Career switch at age 35 seems like a risk... I have been in the restaurant line for the longest time already, and I spend the last 11 years in my previous company working hard to achieve who I am today. And poof, it's all gone now!!! What is the reason for this career switch and why? It is all because I AM A MOTHER! For the past year, I realize that I am always tired, I got no time to see my baby at all! She's still sleeping when I go to work, and she would have already fall asleep when I reach home! On my rest day, all I wanted is to sleep as I am so tired. I've grown fatter than before, putting on so much weight, I could only hear my parents telling me Baby Joy starts to crawl, she's calling 'Ah Ma', but I never get to see all her first time! I thought to myself, it's time to change! I need to be there for my girl, be part of her childhood, be there whenever she needs me! And the next thing I know...

Niku Kappo by Watabi

It's been a long time since Mr Wonderful and I have a date. Glad to spend some private time together for dinner without Baby Joy! It was a surprise dinner date (3 weeks ago) as he just SMS me the venue 5 minutes before I off work.  When I reach the restaurant, there was a big crowd outside, waiting for tables. Mr Wonderful got 2 seats at the Sushi Counter which is our favorite whenever we dine at a  Japanese Restaurant.   There's a welcome drink for everybody. Never got to know what drink is that as the servers are always busy. We had a hard time trying to get their attention as everyone is attending to tables. There were a lot of table services such as tossing salad and cooking Sukiyaki by the table side.   My welcome drink   Quite nice, a little minty. The chilli padi looks scary, but you don't taste that at all... Wagyu Toro Sushi $7.90 I am not a fan of raw beef, so I've got nothing much to saw about this. But the beef literally 'melts' in my mouth, so make ...
