Updates: Mama expo at MITC 2015

 

Tadah!

 

As guilty as charged, from the picture u can see it all.

 

I've bought walker pants of a carton (6 pax) and free 1 pax at the price of RM210!!

 

Same good deals from Lazada of RM150 foc RM50!

 

And this is better as it is hand carry and haul back the goods like a champion!!!!!!

 

 

 



Ok, back to the story.

Why I choose to buy Merries Walker Pants?

This is because as a principal of a childcare centre. I had witnessed the power of it.  From 9am till 12pm, no leakage at all. No buldges even after wearing it, just like a normal underwear due to the thinness of it. Till the point that my fellow educators didn't realised even after touching the child.

With this amazing offer, I quickly snatched a carton as pax at the supermarket will costs me RM36.90 or more.

So stay tuned to mama expo if Merries Kao was to set up a booth.

Mamypoko Maxi Absorb & Mamypoko Air Fit Pants

During Maxis's reward voucher of RM30 without any minimum spend.

 

I went and bought myself 3 pax of L size Mamypoko Maxo absorb due to the value offer.

 

 

It was at the price of RM 87.90 and after the discount, it was RM 57.90 with no shipping charges as I bought it during free-shipping day.

 

At the supermarket, it was selling at least the price of RM27.90 but with this voucher thingy. a pax only costs me RM19.30!

 

Not bad right?!



 

 

Anyway, i sold it off after awhile because my mother in law refers Merries as she is not keen of changing diapers.

 

 

Told her off that even Merries too have to change diapers oftenly but to no vail.

 

 

Anyway, I had two vouchers from Maxis as hubby too is a user.

 

 

I was drawn to this Mamypoko Air fit as it stated it was made in Japan.

 

It was on Lazada at the price of RM68. There i went. Purchased it at RM38. HAHAHAAHA!

 

 

What a good bargain!!!!

All of these purchases have not been used. Will post it again when I started to use it on Sam!

Starting Solids for 6 months old Sam

 

Sam turns 6 months old this month. So being a mum-freak, I began to google all the puree's recipe to introduce solids.

 

To start, I went and buy Freezer Cubes to store the puree as they said we will need bpa free containers to store it &dispose it after 6 months.

 

The brand I bought was Treenie which costs me RM21.80 at Yong Fong.

 

 

 

 

I bought two sets and have yet to blend anything yet as by the time I got back, I was dead tired and Sam was asleep. (If I start the mixer now, she will be wide awake)

Drypers Wipes Review + Drypers Talcum Powder Review + Pureen Wipes Review

 

As you can see, I put up an image of an inside of a Drypers Wee Wee Dry package.

 

It is said that with these codes, we can redeem points at www.drypers.com.my

 

And being a stockist of everything even though the product is not suitable to me, I redeem every packets of Drypers I had. (I got like, 6 packets of it or more)

 

 

 

After collecting so much points, I saw an ad of Drypers that can change Baby Wipes & Talcum Powder...delighted and everything, I quickly redeem it as I feel that this is worth it.. (They offers toys n etc...but I got too many of those from gifts..)

 

The goods arrived. (Which I redeemed two sets of it but took only a set of pic) like AFTER A MONTH!

 

Review for the Drypers Talcum Powder, smells great but not using it as my paed said talcum powder are not encourageable as it causes allergy and baby may inhale it.

 

I realised many typical grandmothers love to use powder to put it at baby's neck area and their genital areas. (well my MIL actually powder my girl till it looks like KFC fried chicken ready to be fry)

 

It is a wrong concept as the powder may even cause redness to go viral. the actual way to prevent the redness is to use a diaper cream. for my case I uses Sudocream which I got a sample from MMC.

 

So this talcum powder was given away and never to be seen

 

As for the Review of Drypers Baby Wipes? BAD. it smells good, feel good but not good for a baby butt.( while at least to Sam) I was using Pureen Fragrance free Baby Wipes with Mamypoko or Merries Diapers.  There were no rashes at all. TILL I change the wipes. Sam's ass turn glowing red.

 

 

(Pureen Frangrance Free Baby Wipes Jumbo pack. free a refill pack and 30s at the price of RM19.90 offer price at Madam Kings)

Then only I realised wipes too play a factor of a red bum.

So far the wipes I had used are Pureen Fragrance Free Baby Wipes (Red, Blue, Orange, Green in the size of jumbo, 100s, 30s and 80s) which I find that all no different as it is frangrance free and Pigeon Wipes & Mamypoko Baby Wipes.

Don't look down upon Mamypoko wipes, like my previous post about that brand. it has larger sheets and smell great. and the most important thing is it doesn't cause redness.

Pigeon Wipes was great too but cuz of the price. I did not continue to use it as Sam poos a lot...

Conclusion, The Drypers wipes will be used as my hand wipes after I clean Sam's butt with either Pureen's or Mamypoko's.

Quinny Zapp 2 Review

 

As u can see, I bought a Quinny Zapp 2. Rocky Black, If i'm not mistaken. Along with the carrier; Maxi Cosi.

 

Both are actually from the same company, its just that Maxi Cosi is more to carriers and seats..

 

Price is almost 2k plus cuz they called it the Travel System.. But I think now has a lot of version of Zapp 2. lots of awesome colours..

 

A little bit regret of buying a black one cuz all the mosquitos kinda "Hides" inside. And when I thought of buying the red one; quinny signature colour, my mum went like :aiyo, easy to dirty" then I saw the purple and Aqua colour + the wheel colour (Macam skateboards' wheel)....fuck ..regret to the max!

 

 

 

(Took this shot at the Mall cuz I like the flooring *sparkle*)

(Sam in Maxi Cosi Carrier)

Initially, I thought of having a Quinny Buzz

(Quinny Buzz Zapp 3)

It looks high enough so that we do not need a high chair when we dine out... till we fold it in....

70% of our car boots space will be taken~ (We are having a Peugeot 3008, which we can adjust our car boot level one)

Then Hubby gave me the No-way-we-gonna-have-this-look,  immediately we take zapp2 without further ado..

and also the price kills us off.....like almost can buy a motor d...almost hit 3k with the travel system..

Wanna see how Zapp2 folds? go google it then u will know..u will fall In love with it!

Cuz Zapp 2 wheel is good to push. and compact enough to put in our car, you can even check in ur stroller when you fly but must put in a bag.. just like baby zen yoyo..wait...maybe yoyo is smaller n square.

Even grandpa loves Quinny a lot! My dad recovered from stroke, so his momentum is bit out and his stamina is bad... So whenever he goes shopping with us, we will let him in charge of the stroller as in pushing it around to walk with. Old man doesn't like to use tongkat...so this saves his face right lot..


My dad pushes a lot of strollers (my brother's) he has experiences of pushing a Halford, Maclaren, SweetCherry and nonsense China brand, out of all these brands he still prefers Quinny. The smoothness and the braking system is good.

So new parents out there...get this if u have the budget...no regrets...

This stroller has style, smooth and compact....

One Canto Word to describe,

"JENG!"

Hippopo Baby Spa & Wellness Review

Being a new mum, I tend to try everything new including Baby Spa..

 

Recently, there's a new Hippopo Baby Spa opened at Melaka, The Shore.

 

 

And so I made a phone call to make an appointment. To my amaze, they only accept baby who are 4kg and above for their "swimming session" even though they claimed that they accept newborns.. or maybe they only do massage for newborns...

 

 

Babies who are going to swim will need to be injection free for 3 days, no flu& cough, fever and need to be fed before an hour. Reasonable and very good pre-cautios as parents these days clever to point fingers at people whenever something goes wrong. Especially for the old people, they will go like "aiya, i tell u liao so small don't bring to swim..so cold, wait get flu how?!"

 

 

Let me assure u, the pool are warm..the water is warm to swim in  and definitely not cold one...so if u plan to go and your folks are against it, tell them weeping say is warm one..no scare no scare, wouldnt get flu.

 

 

The reason I brought my girl to this swimming thing is cuz I believe exposing them to water dipping as young as months will definetly make things easy when we bring them to a bigger pool during their toddlers age.

 

 

and this spa really make Sam swims a lot, which proves that their 3 points, "longer sleep", "reduce crying and emotional stress", improve baby's growth and health" well.

 

1st point, "improve baby's growth and health"

 

yes, she really kicks a lot in the water and much exercises was done. also it appears that, she can stand faster than other babies. at 5 months she is already standing by herself.

 

 

PROVEN

 

 

2nd point, "longer sleep"



hell yea, after that much of exercises, she slept throughout the night or noon.

 

PROVEN

 

3rd, "reduce crying and emotional stress"

 

Of course! she was really damn happy when she was in the pool. Smilling, kicking and doing all the balls thing around her. Looking at her, I think she is having a hell of a good time. Of course, she didn't cry for half n hour straight...till she is at the changing area, she's hungry.

 

PROVEN

 

No doubts, Hippopo Baby really gives Sam a good time. their pools look very prof and the environment looks great.

 

 



 

( This is the bigger pool that above 6 months old will swim, this pool's water will only change at the end of the day)

 (While this is the smaller ones, Individual pool. This pool changes water every time when a baby goes in.)

 

 

Did I mentioned that the water they used are all filtered water? like those diamond water type one, I strongly suggest that babies should go for the individual pool if you guys are a hygiene freak like me or go to the big pool when they first fill (first appointment maybe?) so that u wouldn't be sharing the water with the rest.

 

These pools have all the bubbly function and wave function will then create waves in the water like jaccuzi. The staffs will then encourage the babies to kick to stay with the flows or put toys to persuade or making them relax in the water.

Following is the price of the sessions.... they will every now and then have promotion for sign ups..therefore stay tune to their fb for more updates...

Enfalac A+ Review and Enfalac A+ Gentlease Review

 Being a low supply mum, I have to mix feed my baby.

My supply simply couldn't not keep up with my baby's demand and I'm constantly away taking care of other people's children than mine. (A principal of a kindergarden)

During the stay at MMC, the nursery gave Baby Sam Anmum essential. And when my bm kicks in after 3 days, she refuses to drink through bottle when I fed her my BM. (So does latching, she was a little nipple confusion but I fixed it up in few times.)

The refusal almost ended my bf journey as I thought since she is not interested why waste my time for it. Till, I finally tasted that FM. It was sweet and my BM is abit tasteless than that.

Then I start googling while forcing her to take my BM. Sadly to say, there are NO information about infant FM due to government's law & regulations. This is because they are promoting on BM. I find this a bit hurtful that time as I was really struggling with demands and my BM was hardly oozing out.

So, I went to the TCM near Taman Merdeka. They introduced me Enfalac A+ Gentlease as Baby Sam was vomiting her milk out throughout the time.

 

It was a bit more pricy than the normal Enfalac A+ as it is an edition for special cases. I got it like RM106 for 900g while the normal ones (yellow colour box) is only  RM98 for 900g (those were the days before GST..i doubt u can get it at this price now)

 

I continue this particular edition till Baby Sam has no more vomiting problem, it was like for 3 months.

 

Then I slowly tuned to Enfalac A+

 

 

 

 



As u can see, I bought the whole carton.

I  was offered the price of RM130 per box of 1.3kg. (market is like 154.90) and so I took a whole carton of it as Baby Sam was ok with it.

Ok means she passes her motion well, her little stomach is adapting well lo. She did not constipates and she didn't vomit like when she was a newborn.

Why I bought a carton of it despite im still bf her? cuz her appetite is unusually huge..

at the month of 3, she actually drank like 3 oz of milk every 2 hours. Oh god! and I was away from her and she drinks per pump! meaning I got no stocks for the next feed if I didn't pumped! and sometimes it is not enough so we need to top up!

We open per pack every 7 days! WALAOWEH! So how not to buy a carton leh?!

Anyway, back to Enfalac A+. According to the TCM I went, they said this is the most similar milk to BM and they have more "goodies" in  their milk. Babies who drinks this brand seldom get sick if they are "OK" with it. Which is why the price is more higher compared to other brands.

Enfalac will not have any promo ongoing as it is an infant milk  as gov promo human nen nen but for Enfagrow. their roadshow is so damn keng one. remember the brain expo they had during May15?

I went n compared the nutrition they had with others. It seems Enfalac has more DHA compares with others. Meaning, another intelligent baby incoming.

I can see the differences between my baby and my sister in law's which consumes Similac. Both have different progress. (I know cannot compare one cuz it depends on individuality) My sister in law's starts to get sick even as young as 2 months old but Baby Sam till now (almost 6 months) hardly get flu...my mum said maybe she is partially breastfed. But still, the differences is there.

I don't know whether is Enfalac or what but I really like the fact that Enfalac has more convicing label than others lo. Judging by Enfagrow.

What do you think?
