No more soaking in hot water!

My mum made few comments during my confinement... the one i remembered the most was.. "budak2 zaman sekarang... byk betul gadget2 baby... dulu2 mana ada semua ni..." :) this is when i taught her how to use the sterilizer... and yes... i find these 'gadgets' very useful and most important, very time consuming.... and of course... most of it, 80% gadgets for our baby came from our beloved families and friends... thanks you all... i'll make sure Armand is aware bout this someday... ahhaha...

Modern mummy nowadays... i think... especially first-time-mother will want and have these.. at least
- Philips Avent/ Tommy Tippee bottles
- Stroller.. quinny wud be the most popular
- Sterilizer
- Breast pump

I'm not sure whether it's the trend or necessities... but the fact is, in the old days, baby survives well without it! :) funny aite? not saying that it's a wrong thing to want all these, i want those personally... and currently using all those as well... but i personally feel sometimes all these 'gadgets' are over-rated... and it becomes a MUST to have those branded Tommy Tippee bottles.. as an example.. :) truth is.. we can do without it...

Ok ok... i think i want to write about other things but ended up 'nagging' about 'over-spending'... ahhahah...

Let me 'overspent' more ya... after confinement.. i'm very diligent on breastfeeding Armand... i ended up buying Spectra 350 in addition to my Medela Mini Electric Single Pump... when you are exclusively breastfeeding.. i found that i don't have enough bottles for storage, then i settled with Milk bags.. yayy! cool invention i would say and luckily there is a cheap brand... hehe... then you'll face the frozen-thawing milk routine... kettle at home is 24-hours working without fail.. huhu... in a month time.. i found:
- it's very hassle when you are travelling... warming up milk in a car with hot water is very very very.. hmmm... me no like! hehhe...
- and when you warm it, you keep pouring the milk a bit at your wrist just to make sure it's the right temperature... *sigh* sometimes it can be lot of time... hish.. wasting my milk.. heheh...

sooooooo...... i decided to get myself a warmer... which:
- portable and can be used in the car
- can fit my Medela, Avent and Tommy bottles (we never bought any.. all are presents! :D)

tadaaaaaaaa....... i found this!

SnowBear: Car & Home Bottle/ Food Warmer...
as you can see... the rounded Tommy bottle.. can fit nicely into it....  adapter for usage in the car is included!

  easy to use.. plug and play! :) set it at 40degC temperature.. and the milk is ready for your baby in 4-7mins... :) and i can use it to warm Armand's food as well... i got it for RM79.90 only at Littlewhiz.com

So much of surviving without gadgets... owh well... i'm not ashamed to admit that i can't live without those... ahahhahaha

  4. betol!!! mcm2 kan gadget utk baby skrg!!

    i pon beli food warmer jugak.. tp little bean nye, and x muat my tommee tippee. huhu. sterilizer je belum terbukak hati nak beli lg...

    spectra aritu mmg betol2 ok ek? i'm thinking to get one rather than medela.. sbb nak beli deep freezer, so ingat nak cut budget dekat BP. huhuh. mmg ok kan spectra? hehe

  6. Aifa... yes.. Spectra mmg ok.. :) if nak confirmation jugak, boley gi try dkt kedai yg dkt Klang tu... and boley rent jugak... mana tau, brand lain like Ameda ke lagi sesuai dgn u...

    sterilizer tu, if u rajin rebus botol sume.. takde masalah.. hehe... i ni malas... tak tipu... so gadget2 ni dlm kata lain utk org2 yg malas sket... aahahah...

  10. Ajan... yep.. sgt berguna... tapi jgn beli awal2... bila baby dah kuar.. eheh.. then bila cara rebus air- basuh botol dah tak berkesan utk u.. barulah beli warmer... saya suka kalau beli benda, bila saya rasa perlu... :) selamat mencuba!

    p/s: rehat byk2 ya... nanti simpan energy byk2 utk delivery nanti.. :)
