New Study: Does Breastfeeding Lead to Tooth Decay?!

Ahhh breastfeeding~! A lovely action that permits you to feed babies thanks to God’s gift of breasts. It is truly a wonderful thing that no mother should be ashamed of. That said, one of my children’s playmate’s mother brought up a certain topic that got me reflecting long and hard about the benefits AND the potential side effects of this natural phenomena when prolonged. You might be thinking that this is a pretty weird topic to bring up on a Sunday afternoon during teatime, right? Hehe, well if you truly were pondering over the previous question, this can mean three […]

Tricks To Feed Picky Eaters

As a parent of three, I think I’m allowed to say that I have dealt with and am quite familiar with varying levels of pickiness in children. Now, Daisy, the oldest at 4 years of age, is quite the picky eater. According to her mindset, if she doesn’t see something she likes, she might as well not waste her playtime eating at all. The second youngest, Poca (2 years old), is almost the COMPLETE opposite. If it’s food she’ll eat it and she’ll try anything new. She loves varying her palette and surprisingly isn’t put off by veggies in the slightest. […]

Arsenic in Baby Food

As parents, all we want is for our babies to grow up to be healthy, happy, and maybe a little less fussy (though that could just be me). We look to feed our baby only the best and try our best to nourish him/her with the help of the products we ate and the information we’ve been taught growing up. But what if the products we use to nourish our babies isn’t exactly as helpful as we thought? Perhaps even harmful? Scary Fact: A new study has found out that and tested over 500 baby products, from snacks, cereals and […]

What I Did To Reduce Breastfeeding Pain In The First Few Weeks

Alright, so picture this: you go 9 months through your pregnancy, you go through the agonizing process of giving birth (that’s a huge understatement), thus bringing your little baby into the world, and nows the time for breastfeeding. It seems pretty normal, eh? Nothing weird or crazy with it, except the fact that it hurts almost as bad as going into labor!

Yes, it may seem a little pricey, but don’t forget what ‘they’ say – you get what you pay for! And for practicality – this high chair, so far (we’ve only […]

Is the Kiinde Kozii Breastmilk & Bottle Warmer Any Good?

Now, in the time-span of me being a Mom, I’ve tried quite a few different baby products and gadgets. Some are great, whilst others are not so fantastic. It seems every baby brand out there wants to produce a breath-taking product that improves our lives as parents. And whilst, yes that is mostly the case with most brands, some others aren’t that life-changing. One brand that I wasn’t fully aware of or heard much about was this brand, but after using it from a friend, I decided to buy one for myself. This brand took me by surprise considering that […]
