Before giving birth, my husband and I thought that cloth diapering would be so time consuming and tedious. After 5 months, we realised we’ve been buying too much disposable diapers and cotton. (Guess how we realised this? I was able to get a lot of Mannings stamps to claim a Staub! Haha! :-D) So we… Continue reading Cloth Diapering: It’s a lot easier than you think!
Our pedia called yesterday to tell us that his poop didn’t show anything that would cause worry. No bacteria! Woohoo! So far so good, no blood in his bowel movements since Wednesday. So we’re thinking if it was feta that caused it? Because that was the only thibg that I seldom eat. I eat lots… Continue reading Whew! Fecal analysis results
Okay, so this post has no photos! Relaaaaxxx! Last Aug 2, my son had a spot of blood in his poop. He was also pooping every 2-3 hours. We thought it could be diarrhea. It was mucus-y and liquid as they are for breastfed babies (not the mucus!).So we sought help from my pedia godsister.… Continue reading Blood in fresh bowel movement

When he was suppose to nurse on the right, he nursed on the left instead. This resulted in an engorged feeling on my right breast… Continue reading Boooooo! Blocked ducts!
We’re ready for a new adventure! We’ll be cloth diapering soon! Before Thanksgiving 2014, when I was still pregnant, I asked my husband if we wanted to cloth diaper our son and he told me that we could try in a few months’ time. Well, the time is near! Haha! We’ve been buying a lot… Continue reading Cloth Diapering: Crazy meets Cloth
My son is so wonderful! He’s such an easy baby to take care of and he smiles as soon as he sees us after work or when I come home for lunch. Best. Feeling. Ever. I thought coming home to a husband was the best feeling ever, but naaaahhh it is actually coming home to… Continue reading Being a mum to a bubbly 5-month old boy feels amazing!
