Ever since i became a mum / mama / mother / mummy to my first born child, i’ve been a real research freak. I do my research to know almost everything i want to know about caring for my baby and myself. What behaviour can a baby have ? Is he colicky or not ? How long it takes for my wound to heal ? etc etc etc

I would search on the internet for parenting sites, articles, parent forums for information. Even make comparison between one source and another. Find out how to develop my baby’s skills. I bought some ABC and 123 flashcards even when the baby wasnt born yet, as preparation, so that i can flash the cards to him.

I always sing to my boy (my baby is a boy lar!) since he was just a little baby so that he can learn to recognise my voice and also remember the song.

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. Ipsey, Wipsey Spider. I’m a Little Teapot.

These are just some of the songs / nursery ryhmes that i frequently sing to him. And i am proud for having done that. Now he can dance (swerving from side to side) whenever there is music or when i sing to him. So cute ! Sometimes my baby do something that is just so cute and you will surely smile or laught at what he’s doing. Like last nite for example, i wanted to change his diapers. He was sleeping. I took out one of the magic stickers (he’s using Huggies Dry btw) and suddenly, he crawled 2 to 3 times up. And he was still sleeping btw. Brought him down and wanted to take the other sticker. Then he crawled up again. LoL. This happened a couple of times. Finally managed to changed his diapers after moving him from up and side and on his tummy to his back. So tiring !

Anyway, what i want to say here is that having a baby, i’ve also become very hygiene conscious. When we go out, we will wipe the baby chair and tables. Though some ppl may find it troublesome, its for the good of my baby anyway. You see, other people + children who have used the chair and table may not be so hygienic. There maybe germs on the table and baby chair from who-knows-who. I know that we cant make sure that its thoroughly clean and there are still airborne bacterias everywhere, but thats the least i can do. Imagine yourself in the situation. You go to a restaurant to have lunch and you sat on the table. The customers before you was sneezing. So where the germs to ??? The table of course, unless the customer used a tissue to cover up his nose all the time.

Also, i’ve been worried about indoor air quality, particularly the bedroom. Plus, MAN and me easily have allergies, coughing and sneezing. So we decided to get an AIR PURIFIER. I got to know of this SUPER8 series of air purifiers/ ionizers just last month. They have a branch in RH Plaza, BDC, in the same row with Del’s Kitchen and 101 Taipei. Thought of getting their SUPER HEPA, which costs RM9xx. But i wasnt sure about the brand. So i did some internet research and found that SHARP has this air purifier by the name of PlasmaCluster. They have various awards and recognitions from organizations.

Consider and discuss with MAN. Triple and quadraple that process. Research research. In the end, we went for the SHARP FU40SE, which was selling for RM1399 (i bought it at slighly lower price actually). Several reasons supported our decision - SHARP is a well know brand; their Plasmacluster technology received many high recognitions and I could get more reviews on the Plasmacluster than Super8, which means i should be able to trust their products more than Super8. Btw, Super8 is a relatively new company just setup last year by this so and so Chinese Datuk.

I cant really tell you whether the Sharp Plasmacluster is that effective or not. I just had it delivered to my home last Friday. Been using it daily.If you are interested, visit SHARP or google for more information.

I have many things to buy, which i think i should be giving or using on my baby. I’ve been wanting to get a hold of Organic Skin Care products for my baby. But there is just so many out there (online) and the main problem is, there isnt any being sold in Kuching. Those sold online, i could actually afford to buy .. BUT plus that shipping, the price will end up being too expensive for me.
