There are several items we teased about their functionalities when I first stumbled upon them during online shopping. Soon after the arrival of Peanut, the foolish us realised how much we wished these items were just within our reach.
1. Moses Basket.
First, we frowned at its heavy weight with baby in it. Secondly, it only lasts for less than four months which we felt it was not worthwhile.
FACT: As long as you get the crying baby sleep at night, you will drop to floor on knee and say haleluyah. The cushion in Moses Basket allows baby to snug comfortably as if green peas in their pods. Lying Peanut down (on bouncer or bed) was already a challenging mentally (fear of waking baby up) and physically (depend on how well you can bend at strange angle), not to mention placing the pillows, cushions, pillow, you name it around strategically to resemble our cuddle. Moses Basket will do the job perfectly.
2. Anti-slip Pillow
Our jaw dropped when we scrolled to this item in Taobao.
FACT: It freaked us out everytime during the midnight feed. We were afraid Peanut choked himself. We were equally afraid to wake Peanut up whenever we attempted to burp him.
3. One-piece sleepsuits
I was trying to be a thrifty mum by relying solely in hand-me-down sleepsuits .
FACT: One-piece does wonder when you are afraid to break the little, fragile joints and at the same time you are trying to speed through the changing process before baby cries a big time. I eventually bought a few second-hands as Peanut outgrew the hand-me-down suit.
4. A big pillow.
Why needs a big pillow?
FACT: There are times you need to lie baby on bed. As their curiosity grows, staring the blank ceiling becomes a boring chore. By popping baby up on bed, allows them to watch the surrounding from a different angle. Plus, they can WATCH u as you sing/play/ dance/ tell story.
5. IKEA play gym
Isnt the play gym better? It has more toys.
FACT: Again. There are times you need to place baby on bed and let them play on their own. It is when this comes handy. Some can even be adjusted to different angle so baby can play while leaning against the pillow. Moreover, it is smaller and convenient to carry on-the-go q
Hm... the list was long when i first started thia post. However they seem to slip out of my mind as i compose.
Shall return here if i recall anything.
