Baby Baby Fair 2011 @ Suntec

Going for this fair today!

Posted on the go!

Amazon Wish List - Bumbo Seat, Baby Whisperer, Diaper Organiser, Nursing Cover & Makeup Box!

There are a whole lot of things cheaper than the retail shops here when we checked out at Amazon.

Hoping to see if we can ship some of these things together. :)

1) Bumbo Baby seat - tons of mommies are getting these in FB man!
2) Secrets of the Baby Whisperer - Apparently this works
3) Nursing cover - discovered that the "slip your hands through" ones are not as good as the "wear over your head" ones. Comfort is different
4) Diaper Organiser - realised that most organisers are not good on Amazon cos they are quite filmsy. But variety is more on Amazon and wayyyyy cheaper.
5) Makeup Box - For Addy's hobby and sideline. :)

Baby carrier - Manduca

I have been searching for something to transport our one month old baby in as he was growing heavier each day and I am finding it hard to carry him. Was reading some of the reviews by mummies and the comments on the manduca was fabulous. When we went to the shop "Baby slings and carriers" at Square 2, I bought the manduca without much hesitation. After paying for it, Paul was asking the shop owner if we could carry the baby facing forward and she said that we can't and that was when I wondered if it was that great.

Upon reaching home, I went to read further reviews comparing different types of carriers and came upon this site offering some of the comparisons.

I have been using the manduca for about a week now and I really love the feeling of baby being snugged around my chest! Also if the baby can't be carried facing forward, I can back carry him when he gets older. He falls asleep easily inside the manduca as well:)

Here is one of the comment by one of the parents for reference

I haven't been using enough carriers to make a comparison but so far, I love my manduca..

Ergo - great all-round and also loved by dads, but back/body of carrier could be higher offering more support for bigger babes.

Manduca - as above, but with a higher back and built in infant insert so spot on.

Beco - for me, falls between the Manduca and Connecta. Good high back, funky prints, sleep hood (as do the others) built in infant insert, great front carrier even with heavy babies, neat like the Connecta but some find fiddly for back carries (due to built in insert, i.e. extra buckles/panel)

Connecta - also great with funky prints and everything functional and neat, but I personally prefer the more structured waist band on the Manduca for holding the weight of a heavier baby.

Baby Bjorn - neat and functional for early months, offers forward facing position but otherwise, not the best longterm investment.

 

Just for Laughs

Got this from one of my colleagues. Hilarious. :)

[1] Regular naps prevent old age, especially if you take them while driving.

[2] Having one child makes you a parent; having two you are a referee.

[3] Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right and the other is the husband!

[4] I believe we should all pay our tax with a smile. I tried - but they wanted cash.

[5] A child's greatest period of growth is the month after you've purchased new school uniforms.

[6] Don't feel bad. A lot of people have no talent.

[7] Don't marry the person you want to live with, marry the one you cannot live without, but whatever you do, you'll regret it later.

[8] You can't buy love, but you pay heavily for it.

[9] Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote.

[10] Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

[11] Marriage is give and take. You'd better give it to her or she'll take it anyway.

[12] My wife and I always compromise. I admit I'm wrong and she agrees with me.

[13] Those who can't laugh at themselves leave the job to others.

[14] Ladies first. Pretty ladies sooner.

[15] A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.

[16] You're getting old when you enjoy remembering things more than doing them.

[17] It doesn't matter how often a married man changes his job, he still ends up with the same boss.

[18] Real friends are the ones who survive transitions between address books.

[19] Saving is the best thing. Especially when your parents have done it for you.

[20] Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say something

[21] They call our language the mother tongue because the father seldom gets to speak!

[22] Man: Is there any way for long life? Dr: Get married. Man: Will it help? Dr: No, but then the thought of long life will never come.

[23]Why do couples hold hands during their wedding? It's a formality just like two boxers shaking hands before the fight begins!

[24]Wife: Darling today is our anniversary, what should we do?

Husband: Let us stand in silence for 2 minutes.

[25]It's funny when people discuss Love Marriage vs Arranged. It's like asking someone, if suicide is better or being murdered.

[26]There is only one perfect child in the world and every mother has it.

[27]There is only one perfect wife in the world and every neighbor has it!
