PINKYLEONA

I think shopping has always been about him. Every trip to the mall is another baby haul. But there are things I love, repurchased and so happy with them

*honest review, bought them all with my own money*

 Baby haul done



The products brought home and there are moreee than just these (esp for his weaning journey prep)


Things I love and repurchased are:


1. Mustela Dermo Cleansing Gel (Head to Toe)


I hated it when people asked me why don't I use Buds (Malaysians favourite I guess) when they didn't even try Mustela. I bought both at first, Buds smells nice out of the bottle but not so good after-bath. Mustela one smells way better after bathtime, the (nicer) smell lingers longer and especially important that Seff's head smells good (Buds on head smells yucky)



2. Mustela Newborn Foam Shampoo

Seff has a slightest issue when he got cradle cap at around 1 month old. That is when I learned that Buds H2T made Seff's head smells yucky so I stopped using Buds immediately. Thought the orange scent can give the head a fresh scent, but NO..

So I started using this Mustela Newborn Shampoo and cradle cap gone! Hair and head smells nice and baby-likeeee, me wow, me love! ❤

They have their usual shampoo too but since the price difference is small, we repurchased this!



3. Euky Bear Eucalyptus Spray


Penggeli myself, I sprayed this all across hotel room just to make sute I'm a better mom only haha (everyone is a good mom, I'm more paranoid I'll let you know why, sometime later)

Also sprayed this all around the living hall IF there has been a sick people visiting, or when I thought room needs a freshener/a little bit of "cleaning"

Up to 6 months old, Seff has NEVER caught with a cold/flu.. I am a proud mom! Although around 1 month Sara (Seff's cousin) has a little cold and was sneezing near Seff's cot. When it happened I sprayed this Euky Bear to the cot HAHA

Note : after his 5m jab, I think I no longer mind if Seff falls sick a little to make him tougher. But before 4m I was a little (too) scared 😂

(the 2,3 & 5 month vaccines are all for lung-related diseases prevention)



4. SNAPKIS Newborn Cotton Swabs (Cotton Buds)


I am not sure about other brands but this has 200pcs per tub, tip is of good size and OK price!



5. Mossif3 Naturiquid & Antimos (Mosquito repellent)


Been using this and happy with the product! Thus we repurchased. Been loving and using Antimos too (since 2011)



6. Tommee Tippee Sangenic Casette

When you have Tommee Tippee Sangenic, must buy its refill casette hehehe



7. Clevamama Apron Baby Bath Towel


Hands down, the best baby towel ever! I also purchased baby hoodie towel from IKEA, but thos Clevamama bath towel is th BEST! Totally recommended (I honestly would recommend 2 things among my favourites here : Mustela bath products especially foam shampoo if your baby has cradle cap, AND CLEVAMAMA TOWEL ❤)

I even bought this as a gift to a friend for his newborn arrival, somewhere in 2016..

Softest material everrrrr, I love that it can be worn at your neck so you can instantly place your baby after bath/out of the bath tub. Not sure how others would do it without this function; you carry a naked baby out of the tub and run to the towel placed on the bed?? Or did you wet your shirt in the process?

We bought white colour at first, and repurchased another in blue. Would probably buy more hehe




That is all our favourites, until next post!

*In Malay, because its a national news*

Rata-rata mula beri komen ttg adik Adam Rayqal yang asalnya dilaporkan diculik, kemudiannya dijumpai telah meninggal dunia disimpan di dalam peti ais rumah pengasuh

Innalillahi wainna ilaihirojiun..

Salam takziah untuk ibu dan ayah Adam. Beratnya dugaan seorang ibu..

Makcik bawang : yeke blunt trauma etc tu bukan dari pengasuh.. pengasuh tu muka pun macam s**l, elok bungkus masuk peti jugak mcm dia buat. Kalau tak salah kenapa sorokkan Adam dalam peti sejuk

(If pengasuh tak salah), well, manusia panik memang tend untuk buat yang aneh aneh..

Hati terkesan. Jujur rasa nak pengsan, especially bila imagine apa yang anak kecil tu rasa.. Macam kes culik adik Aisyah yang dijumpai selamat tapi digigit semut.. Tangisan yang tak didengar.. Itu yang buat hati ini sedih sangat. So Adam is another child. Satu lagi nyawa suci.. Apalah kisahnya..

Semoga siasatan kes Adam Rayqal akan cepat selesai, untuk beri ibu Adam jawapan (closure).. Jujur juga aku masih terkesan dengan kehilangan Elana sebab masih tak puas hati dengan jawapan pihak hospital, with many doubtful details..

Anyway not saying ibu Rayqal pernah cuai, sampai kehilangan Rayqal, sebab that means I mustve done silap juga sampai Elana pula meninggal dunia..

No parent deserved a child loss. Its a greatest heart ache ever 💔

Jangan juga kata ajal maut di tangan Tuhan kalau cuai di tangan manusia.. habis kalau memang kita hempuk, sebat anak kecil berkali kali, bila kata belum ajal, budak tu akan jd badang ka.. zz

Balik kepada solution, I cant think of anything yet. Taska 24 jam? Mudahkan urusan maid? Masih boleh cuai.. dan ikut nasib badan

Penah beritahu suami, kerja hospital lebih senang although syif, hari-hari masih balik rumah. Engineers yang outstation -separated from anak for days?

Mungkin ada yang tanya, kenapa nak kerja? Suami mampu, duduk rumah jaga kebajikan anak jela..

I have my own reasons. I was brought up by a working mom. Personally, I want to be knowledgeable. I once study hard enough to earned biasiswa, mesti nak apply knowledge bhai.. adui la soalan..

Kecik hati mak ayah ai tau.. bila labur macam-macam, end up anak tak kerja bagus bagus 😂 Mak juga memang pantang la anak tak kerja, mak suruh independent jangan sampai ditinggalkan suami (hidup atau mati), kita terkapai-kapai..

Kalau nak tahu Engineers kritikal tak, well I can say I once be part of aktiviti menyelamatkan ratusan ribuan nyawa area KL lah haha

You're welcome 😊

I think I am a minimalism when it comes to baby toys hehe. Although pricey, I don't buy it often and I might be wrong about this

On the contrary, I always talk to him since birth (mom said I am good at this!), I play hand clapping (Sep sep sep, tom tom tom) with him until he laughed hard "terkekek-kekek" and there's a video of this..

There is no right or wrong in parenting so these are my choices in newborn & baby toys

Month 1 - 3 :

1. Sophie la Giraffe (SLG), RM99

Teether as its main purpose, I sometimes let Seff hold SLG (her long leg) and whenever Seff cried, I pushed SLG to make sound and made Seff stunned hehe

2. Fisher Price Kick & Play Piano Baby Gym, RM229

Every baby (and mommy) must haves! Not sure if all babies are alike but Seff kicked air since birth so this piano made sound all the time haha (good job with the battery too, haven't changed them until now, woah!)

And when hes in the baby gym, he sure didn't cry, made it possible for moms to bath, do business and so on (yay)

Around 1-2m old, Seff didn't grab the hanging toys (I believe) but stare at them all day. I once caught him smile to himself (probably because of the mirror!). But since we got this, there is this wrinkle sheets that made sounds and Seff will follow/toleh to this sound 

(so I know his hearing is good)

3. Playgro Hand and Feet Finder, RM79

Rattles are also babies best friend. Since they made sound, I think babies find this amusing hehe

Most of the time, Seff tried to put this is his mouth hehe

3 - 6 months :

1. Sophie la Giraffe (SLG), RM99

At 4m Seff has started biting my nipple so I gave him SLG for him to chew hahahaha. So far he already play with different body parts of SLG but his favourite is probably her head & ear 😂

2. Fisher Price Kick & Play Piano Baby Gym, RM229

Oh, did I mention that this is voted the best baby gym every year? ❤❤❤

I made research and decided to buy this (ahem, babah bought this actually hehe) wayyyy before Seff's arrival. Hehe

So from 3m, Seff has started grabbing the hanging toys, lifted his body when toys are in his hand, and most of the time.. chew this wrinkle sheets! (Sampai lencun this whole sheet, hanging!)

So since Seff loves this wrinkle sheet so much, mommy bought him his next toy..

3. Mothercare Soft Book (Bedtime Bunny), RM62

We would hang this inside his stroller, and found him busy playing with it and sometimes fall asleep just like that (letih kot)

This is our life saver until now!

Sometimes I read to him this, and it isn't just a book. It has sound, rattle inside the sheet and movable pyjama & curtain for a baby to play with 😊 very happy with this soft book!

4. Fisher Price Shape Sorter, RM38

I taught him to play with this, put his hands to where I am matching the shape, told him what colour and shape it was piece-by-piece and all..

.. Seff is yet to play with this himself

5. ELC Sensory Discovery Balls, RM69

Has been his favourite thing to grab and munch on! Hehe also very happy with this purchase

And ohh, it got rattle inside so you shake it first to get your baby's attention, let him take it (grab) from your hand and let him play with it (usually much)

I also rolled this all over his exposed body and tummy and he laughed hard! 

Geli with the rolling, or is it the uneven surfaces? Hehe

We also got gifts including toys, and they are mostly rattles.. the above listed are all we bought for Seff ourselves and they have their own reason(s)

We are still searching for 6m+ toys, want to decorate his room.. but the recent toy purchased is this :

Fisher Price baby tablet, RM 75

Very educational, and will review it later ❤

Until next post!
