What's in your Diaper Bag?

Prior to having Kiara, i always wondered why parents were lugging around this huge bag on top of having to push a stroller with a baby. I thought, "Seriously? Aren't you carrying just a little too much?" Boy was i wrong! Now that i have a child, i can totally relate! I always pack spares now. I learnt my lesson! You never know when your child might dirty themselves. And trust me, it always happens!

So here's how my diaper bag looks like. (Thank you mum for giving it to me!) Its from Kipling. It also comes with a changing pad too! It's funny because my step dad actually bought that bag for my mum without realising that it was a diaper bag. She likes big chunky bags thats why!

The inner organizer piece that holds everything in place can be taken out, but i like that it has extra pockets to store other things like extra clothes, burp cloths, pacifier and bottle nipple wipes etc. The side pockets are the perfect size to put in our nappy cream as well as the milk powder storage container! Love it! Now that Kiara takes solids, i also carry her food in a container which fits perfectly in it too. Here's my list of items i have in my diaper bag;

  • 6 pieces of nappies
  • Hugies Wet Wipes
  • 2 bottles (1 for Milk, 1 for Juice) + Bottel warmer holder
  • 4 extra pairs of onesies
  • Pacifier & Nipple wipes
  • Nappy Cream
  • Disinfectant spray
  • Yu Yee Oil (Cap Limau) or Minyak Telon in Lavender   (This works wonders for wind! I always put it on her tummy!)
  • Pacifier
  • Toys! Lots of Toys!

I got this hand disinfectant from the Baby Fair a couple of months back as well and it's been a lifesaver. I can't stress enough how important it is for clean hand when handling your child! Especially since i often give her biscuits and what have yous, it's so important to keep my hands clean and sterilized so to speak. :)

By the way, i've been using Mothercare's nappy cream for a long while now. Was initially using Jurlique's cream but it didn't help when K had a real bad nappy rash. Sham's mother who swears by Mothercare's products, yes she used the same nappy cream with Sham's siblings the many years ago, bought us a few and it has been absolutely fantastic! I like that it's thick and creamy and protects baby's bum. K hasn't had any rash or sores since! This is definitely my holy grail! What's yours?

Oh remember a couple of months back i wrote about how Kiara was having bad heat rash on her neck? We brought her in to see the pediatrician that is at Olive Tree in Forum. So the spray that she reccommended us to get is this ----->

We buy them it in 2 sizes, 150ml and the 300ml respectively. If i'm not wrong Guardian & Watsons was/is having a promo on them. So you buy 2 150ml ones for $20+? And 2 of the 300ml one for $30+? I've seen the individual pricing for just one bottle on its own and its insanely priced! But it seriously works wonders! So i know i'm spending good money on a product that actually works! Bless the French for their wonderful skincare products! :D (Adults can use this too! Sham uses it when he has slight rashes and they disappear so quick!)

So if you still carry a diaper bag for your little munchkin, i'm tagging you to do this post too! I'd like to know what do you carry in yours? :)

A baby brewing, again?!

I can't thank the people who have followed my blog from the get-go for all your words of encouragement and love. Thank you for pushing me to write again. It warms my heart to hear when my readers tell me they enjoyed reading my journey and somehow felt like they were right there with me too. Big love to you all.  Here i am sitting down and staring at the screen. I feel rusty. I haven't done this in a while. My last post was, well ages ago! But - hello! Seeing as i set up this baby blog of mine some 6 years ago, i felt it is only right that i continue writing in it seeing as, as most of you would know by now, i am baking baby number 2 in the oven! I'm in the last leg of my pregnancy now. I'd call it the 'uncomfortable' stage.  Where you feel like a whale,  your legs are sore,  your body's aching and the baby is kicking like there's no tomorrow.  But,  kicking is good.  Kick away baby,  so momma knows you're growing well.  So let's ...

New Paper New Face 2011

Hey! Today, i bring you news about this year's New Face competition! :) For those of you who don't live here in Singapore, the New Face competition is one of the biggest modeling competitions held here. It had unearthed beauties from all walks of life and many of whom has made quite a name for themselves in the industry. It has helped so many girls shine and achieve their goals, and i am glad to say, i made it to Top 20 last year and have graduated to the very prestigious alumni of New Face girls. :) Every year since i joined the modeling industry, i entered a competition, to better myself and gain confidence. I remember i started off with Singtel Grid Girls back in 2008 and not having much confidence at all. But the New Face competition was something i had wanted to join since the age of 15. It took me another 2 years, to build up that confidence to go to the walk-in auditions and i am glad i did. (Spot me if you can!) It has been such an amazing experience for me, i learned s...

Baby Recipe: Chicken & Carrot Porridge [Plus Storage Solutions]

This is probably one of Kiara's favourite dishes and i believe many asian kids too! It's easy peasy to make and tastes delish! What you'll need: Minced Chicken Diced Carrots Rice (Brown Rice if you want the healthier choice) Bovril (optional) Garlic (optional) Chicken Stock (optional)   For all the items that i stated as optional, it's really up to you which you would prefer. Some would rather skip bovril & garlic and just use chicken stock, where as some would do the opposite. So that part is really up to you how you would like your baby's food to be. I personally have used all 3 methods and Kiara likes them all the same. Step 1 : Add rice and carrots into a pot of boiling water (or boiling chicken stock). You can add  finely chopped garlic if you would prefer to add more flavour to the dish. I let this simmer in for about 15/20 minutes till the carrots are relatively softer. Plus rice takes a while to cook too! Once done, add in your minced chicken which cooks...
