I have finally found a way to diaper Vee partially in cloth while travelling overseas! Vee and I love his modern cloth diapers — he has been in cloth-diapers round-the-clock for so many months that I cannot remember when he used a disposable diaper. When we travel 300+km to visit his grandparents in Singapore, a vacuum …

I first learnt about sign language for babies during my pregnancy. It sounded interesting but I did not think that it was essential. After Vee was born, he proved himself to be a colicky cry-baby (especially at night), and we tried very hard to guess what he needed. I re-visited the idea of baby sign …
Many new parents are bothered by their newborn babies’ frequent night awakenings to nurse or crankiness at night. The lack of sleep adversely affects these parents, especially those who are working. Recently, one parent asked in a forum whether it is appropriate to add baby cereal to his newborn’s milk feed to help him sleep …

As we welcome the Year 2010, here’s a round-up of Vee’s (previously known as ‘Baby V’) and my favourite items: For Pregnant Mummies: Mother World Pre-Natal Support Belt For Mummies: L’Occitane Organic Pure Shea Butter Beco Baby Carrier (Butterfly 2 DUO) Moms in Mind Sarong Sling (Baby Carrier) For Babies: Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe Lucas Papaw Ointment …
Before giving birth to Baby V, our baby shopping list consisted of a bouncer. From my understanding, babies from a few weeks old like to lie at a slightly inclined angle to observe things around them and interact with their family. However, a bouncer would only serve its purpose until the baby starts to roll …

Before plopping Baby V into a highchair when we dine out of home, I would wipe (more like scrub) the seat thoroughly with a wet wipe. However, there are occasions when being armed with wet wipes is not enough: One Japanese restaurant had ONLY 2 highchairs when there are 3 children in our dining group …

Hope you are not reading this during meal-time. I am totally inspired to write this review because Baby V has done a BIG poo in his fire-engine red BABYBJÖRN Potty Chair, at a few days before turning 9 months old. It is the first time that cleaning his post-poo bums is a breeze — needing one …
Among Baby V’s toys, the Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Stack & Roll Cups (bought at RM34.90) are among my favourites. As there are a large variety of toys in the market, I seek value-for-money purchases, and this is definitely a good grab. I love the vibrant colours, and so does Baby V. There are many ways to play with …

As a first-time mummy, I was paranoid about the baby sliding off my arms when I bathed him, so I wanted a bath tub that ensured safety. After shopping around, I decided on The First Years Newborn-to-Toddler Bath Tub, which is one of my best buys for Baby V. Mine is the previous version with …

Baby V outgrew his Bumble Bee swaddles, so I started searching for large swaddles and finally found Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe (large) at The Baby Loft. It is rare that babies still need to be swaddled at 5 months old in order to sleep well. Baby V certainly needs a lot of sense of security when sleeping!— …
