The Never-Ending Baby Haul

Guess you'd find these two photos familiar if you already friend with me on Facebook or Twitter...


#1 Already spoiled... Hmm... (=.=)lll


#2 Calm down Chean :p

Just like any parents-to-be, Babies"R"Us has become our ultimate shopping destination in the past few months @.@ We try, we really try our best to avoid spending too much time browsing and shopping on baby items but it just seems impossible! The whole market of baby products does not extricate us from its effective marketing strategies, and expectedly, we end up making an inevitable shopping trip to Babies"R"Us every weekend and go home with a full load of baby items (T____T)

I'm not gonna lie, we have bought a lot, probably more than enough!!! The necessities as well as the wants. And we start complaining how small the house is, how nice if we could build a playroom for BB... My mum also thinks I'm totally out of my mind (which is true I admit, and I do that pretty much all the time) because newborn doesn't need much fancy clothes, toys, accessories, gears and etc, and then she'll wrap her lecture up with her favorite line: "You didn't have all these when you're a baby, and you grew up fine." True also mum, not going to argue, but I just can't help :p

In order to make my mum less naggy and also to make my life easier, I think I'm not going to blog about everything we purchased, not the toys, the cloths, the gears or the accessories but only items that I thought are worth sharing, useful & handy (at least for now).


#3 Avent Breastfeeding Starter Kit & Avent Single Electric Breast Pump.

Honestly think all mums should breastfeed their babies and hopefully I'll have M.I.L.K (gan jiong-ing). Bought the single electric breast pump although the twin one is just $50 extra. Not sure about you but I find the twin breast pumps look a little...

Ermm... too awkward to me.

#4 Just don't see myself doing this. It really is personal preference and comfort level. But the twin one is more "efficient" & "productive" I guess, won't argue that for sure.

** Nipple cream & nursing pillow are essential too, bought those but I don't have pics with me :p


#5 Sealing discs, milk storage bottles, and bottle warmer. Basically everything Avent.


#6 Avent Baby Girl Starter Set. This is really C.U.T.E! I like the sippy cup a lot ❤❤


#7 Highly recommend this! Super convenient can & it will grow with the baby.


Here's a video demonstration of Philip Avent 3-in-1 Electric Steam Sterilizer.


#8 Aquatopia Safety Bath Thermometer.

The ideal & the safest bath water temperature for infant is around 90 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit (32 - 38'C). Tested and liking it a lot, this little turtle will help us accurately estimate the right water temperature for BB ^___^V


#9 Braun Ear Thermometer.

Personally prefer ear thermometer than forehead, but some researches have shown that ear measurements were least accurate and precise while some studies suggested that the best measurement instruments are rectal or oral thermometers. We already have a digital oral thermometer at home, will see how this one works ;)


#10 Aveeno is L.O.V.E. Tried all these baby products myself, lovely scents, gentle ingredients, less greasy, and real soothing. I've been using Aveeno Skin Relief Body Wash since last Nov; it helps moisture and soothe itchy skin ❤❤

All in all...

There are simply toooooo many choices and options out there, like Dr. Brown's, NUK, Medela, and tons of awesome unique & local brands to be mentioned. Although these brands all position themselves slightly different from one another--price and marketing strategy wise, they all posses a fair share of the baby product market. Guess you probably won't get a real poor quality baby products from some of the well-known brands.

I wouldn't say the purchases I've made are the best since those products are yet to be reviewed. However, I'm very very grateful for U.S return policy, it just too awesome knowing that I can always bring the items back to the stores and get full refund if I'm not satisfy. It's a total peace of mind.

Anyway, really love all the items above, really wish I don't have to return anything I've bought at all, it's such an hassle though :p Hopefully x 100, my Bao Bao will like what I picked for her so far, and praying hard that the breast pump and milk bottles will work out fine~~



Tata for now~~ Til next~~
