Gwen hates being covered with a blanket. Yes, she haven’t used that since she’s born, whenever I tried covering her, she would always sense it and kicks the blanket. Well, one advantage of her not using a blanket is that we don’t have to worry that she’ll get suffocated and eventually experience SIDS.
But sometimes the aircon in the room plus the fan can get pretty cold, sometimes she’ll wake up in the middle of the night because of the cold temperature. The solution, sleepsuits!

I just can’t get enough of cute baby socks! Gwen has 6 pairs of Funky Feet socks and it became her sort of trademark. So when I saw Motherworks inside Marina Bay Sands selling baby socks, I bought something as souvenir.

I signed up for free samples of Drypers WeeWee Dry last month at MomCenter site. I thought it wouldn’t arrive anymore but I received these 3 packs of Drypers a few weeks ago. Thanks Drypers!

When Gwen was about to start on solids on her 5th month, I already researched on what are the recommended first foods for babies. I wanted her first foods to be fresh fruits and veggies and not those instant cereals and jarred baby food. But my excitement went poof when her pedia advised to give her Cerelac on the first few weeks. We just obeyed the doctor’s advise and then we went ahead buying infant cereals and jarred food too since it’s handy and easy to prepare.
But one major purchase at Mothercare Singapore will change Gwen’s diet. Jeff bought a Philips Avent steamer-blender, a nifty appliance that steams the veggies, fruits or meat, once cooked, just flip it over to blend or puree the food. The end product is a freshly made baby food.

Baby stuff are so expensive, right? I’m quite surprised that even the smallest baby spoon can cost an arm and a leg. But as parents, we’d like to give the best and the safest for our child. Well, some companies are banking on these baby stuff, you know, because they know parents will buy anything cute for their baby. They will label it as baby/diaper bag and priced it at a higher price and voila, you’ve fallen to one of their marketing ploys (including me!). I still can’t figure out the difference between the diaper bag and an ordinary bag, though.
Another baby stuff that I saw while browsing is a diaper caddy, it’s supposed to store all the baby essentials from diapers, baby bath essentials, baby wipes, etc. It’s like a day bag that you can carry and put in your living room so that you don’t have to go back and forth to baby’s room for his/her needs. Diaper caddies cost starts at $20 and up.

When I was still shopping for baby clothes, I said to myself that I will dress up Gwen like an adult. No cutesy baby clothes, well, months after I gave birth, I ate my words and shopped for additional baby clothes, guess what it is… baby onesies!
