A sturdily-stuffed breastfeeding pillow with “Animal Pals” pattern (in 100% combed cotton material – 280 thread count), this breastfeeding pillow has lovingly seen both my babies through their infancy to their sitting up stages. Sigh…

As I breastfeed more through the “lying down” position, this breastfeeding pillow has been used more as a baby seat.

Why you should visit the Maternity Exchange in Singapore

If you read my fashion frustrations either as a pregnant stay-at-home Mother or a pregnant full-time working Mother, I bet you’re in the same boat when you’re pregnant too i.e. wearing ONLY 5-7 maternity dresses or suits to get you through the week or start stealing from the Hubby’s wardrobe!
It isn’t really a problem if [...]

SOLD: NEW and USED Nursing Tops

Hello ladies,
Hope you’ve all had a lovely Mother’s Day (I’ll tell more about my celebration later). Today, I just wanted to share that I have several new and used nursing tops to let go.
Reason? I’m not as slim as I think Bet you’ll laugh to see that I actually bought tops in M [...]

Breastfeeding: Which nursing style clothes for me?

If you’re an L- or XL-sized Mum like me, you’d probably understand how DIFFICULT it is to shop for clothes in “petite-sized” places like Malaysia. What more when you’re pregnant and later, breastfeeding when you’ve got to “upsize”!
When I breastfed my boy more than 3 years ago, I had no breastfeeding or nursing clothes because:

Only [...]

REVIEW: Hot Milk Her Playfulness Was Captivating Nursing Bra

I’d recently received the Hot Milk Her Playfulness Was Captivating nursing bra, which I bought from Maternity Exchange (Singapore) for SGD89.90.
Hot Milk is a New Zealand brand of maternity and nursing bras that DO NOT look like nursing bras
Instead, these nursing bras are lacy, pretty and sexy with names like Her Midnight Charm [...]

Should I buy the Evenflo Discovery 5 infant car seat?

As the confinement period is ending soon, I’ll need to prepare to drop off and pick up the preschooler to/from the kindy again. Since the baby arrived 2 weeks earlier than expected, I couldn’t buy the infant car seat and can only now surf online to compare models and prices.

I’m a short Mum with a [...]

REVIEW: Triumph Nursing Bra

Now that I am doing some serious shopping for nursing tops and nursing bras, I thought it’d be useful to share my experiences with Mums (new or old).
When I started breastfeeding a few years ago, I was prepared to stay at home when my contract ended but then I was offered a new job contract [...]

Week 30 – Preparing for a newborn…again

OMG…where have the weeks gone? Compared to my previous pregnancy, I’m definitely very, very late in preparing for the baby’s arrival this time around. Honestly, it’s been REALLY TOUGH handling a toddler-cum-preschooler, work and home on my own…
And I can’t sleep well because the baby moves rather vigorously. And I get up to pee at [...]

Shoe shopping with Google Adsense US$100

Remember my post about my failure to cash out my first US$100 with Google Adsense? After all the packing and preparing to come home, unpacking, getting the tot settled into a new kindergarten, calling up the carpenter/electrician for home repairs and renovations etc., I remembered that it’s the end of the month already!
True enough, I [...]

Choosing a COACH handbag…

After this super-fast shopping spree at the KLIA Coach boutique, Hubby has probably marked that area as a “DANGER ZONE”. You see, I NEVER thought of buying a Coach handbag and merely popped into the outlet for a peek at the prices…
I’d been eyeing the Coach Black & White Signature Stripe Tote Bag (Medium) [...]

MAM or Doctor Brown BPA-free baby bottles?

I’m tired of AVENT bottles especially as the new BPA-free range of PC (polycarbonate) bottles are EXPENSIVE and reported to LEAK. Also, I’m kind of wary about using PC bottles even if they are labelled ‘BPA-free’.
If ‘BPA-free’ is new to you, check out my posts on ‘AVENT and BPA-free bottles’ since July 2008 here, here, [...]

I Have Nothing to Wear!

While this is a woman’s classic line, it is true for the pregnant woman. When my largest pair of pants got too tight and I’d started to “steal” Hubby’s comfy t-shirts, he thought it’s time I went shopping!
Since I only need clothes for the first two trimesters (my stash is at home),I tried to look [...]

Shopping for baby and me…

Other than reading, resting, EATING or coughing my head off, I’ve been surfing the net for maternity or baby stuff I need.
I got to start looking for maternity pants and tops because my regular pants are getting tight around the waist. Thank God summer’s here as I can get away with capri pants and [...]
