Asian Parenting Today.

24 Jul 2010

This book was 1st introduced to me by the writer herself, Jennifer during my confinement. I called her for a postnatal home visit — RM150 for 1.5hrs — to help me with my breastfeeding dilemma, and she was an enlightenment. Natey has been fully breastfed ever since! Sadly, I didn’t really pay attention when she [...]

10 Apr 2010

I started putting together our 1st checklist back in October last year. Everything then was listed based on what we thought we might need, so it was only natural to get side tracked as we proceeded to Part 2, 3 and 4. I’m a little more aware now — though still overwhelmed — of what [...]

Hospital Bag, pt 3 – Real Necessities.

In: Preparations|We're Expecting

9 Apr 2010

Let’s revisit this post — because you asked — and make a little adjustment. I’ve never packed a hospital bag before, so the one I did was a bit overboard.
