New Korean Hospital Grade Breastpump – This Is Worth Checking Out

And… the name of the brand is Gaksimil. You probably haven’t heard of it before, well neither have I until I kept seeing it at baby fairs! Exclusively distributed by My Miracle Baby in Singapore, Gaksimil caught my attention when I first saw a demo of it. In a market saturated with many other successful brands, I was interested to see just what this new kid on the block had in it’s pocket. Gaksimil Sense Electric Double Breast Pump Here’s what…

Is A UV Steriliser Really Worth It?

Just upgraded my modest electric steam steriliser to the Haenim UV Steriliser! I used to sterilise my kid’s milk bottles and my breast pump with the usual “traditional” electric steam method. Recently I have been using a more conveniently efficient (IMHO at least) way to sterilise bottles for my baby. While it is A WHOLE LOT MORE EXPENSIVE compared to electric steam sterilisers, many moms like me prefer UV Sterilising to Electric Steam Sterilising and I’m about to share why. I am…

Brain Training Enrichment Classes – A Fad Or Does It Really Work?

We’ve been sending our 30 month old child, Daniel, for brain training classes at BrainFit Studios. There were many enrichment classes we have tried before but I am glad we chose to send him to Brainfit for one simple reason. We see results. Daniel has achieved so many new milestones after attending this brain training course, and that’s why I’m writing about it here (and also because don’t know why suddenly brain training is so often discussed amongst my mummy friends now!) BrainFit Baby™ Programme…

Cute Doesn’t Even Begin To Describe These Baby Photos!

Omigawd this just in! Photos from a recent newborn photography shoot taken of Nathen at 1 month old. I was browsing Taobao casually when I saw heaps of newborn photography props and I was so tempted to cart it all and then attempt to DIY my own shoot at home.

Kiddylicious Review – wholesome yummy snacks for kids

We just loaded up on snacks for my kid, Daniel. Decided to try out this new brand called Kiddylicious because it brands itself to be a relatively healthier choice for kids. All of the snacks you see here are gluten-free, have no sugar and artificial additives added. Interesting. Let’s give it a taste test. Fruit Wriggles & Wafers Fruit Wriggles are kinda like raisins (dried fruit) but in a longish shape which is interesting to Daniel because he gets to hold them…

Review: Mister Maker & The Shapes LIVE in Singapore

We sang, we danced and we had heaps of fun at Mister Maker’s show today at Downtown East! My 2 year old Daniel is the ultimate fan of CBeebies (he only watches CBeebies!) and one of his favourite show is Mister Maker! We really like how interactive and participative this show was for the kids. There was this part where kids had to crush a coloured paper and put it in the right coloured bin which later became art material…
