the melodramatic mouse is now mellomom
I didn’t expect to wean Nate. I had ideally planned to let him outgrow the need on his own naturally. If I wasn’t pregnant, I know I would still be breastfeeding. I started by reducing 1 feed at a time — he was still having 3 — when I was 6 weeks pregnant. It was [...]
Two months after Natey started taking solids, I began “making” our own snacks. Toasted bread stripes is one of the top recommended choices. It is easy to make and definitely a healthier alternative to over the counter snacks. I started with stripes but quickly improvised into bite size squares, which proved to be more of a [...]

2 Jun 2011Our Verdicts: This is our 1st box of Rafferty’s Garden since trying a sample last Nov. I bought it yesterday at Mercato Supermarket in Hartamas Shopping Complex. It comes in a box of 12 rusks for RM13.99. Although RG is not organic as compared to Bellamy’s Toothie Peg, I’m still going to give it a [...]

31 May 2011Our Verdicts: We bought our 1st box of Toothie Pegs last Nov and only finished the last peg yesterday itself. That’s like an average of 2 pegs (RM2.60) a month *wah* Natey seldom snacks on rusk because he looses interest very fast and off it lands on the floor. He would gnaw on the peg [...]

20 May 2011We are finally at this stage of researching for the “right” formula milk. Although I am still breastfeeding 3-4x and expressing 1x a day, I know my supply is quickly depleting and I need to hurry up to introduce cow’s milk to Nate before he rejects the taste totally. The boy doesn’t like liquids other [...]

1 Apr 2011For the first 2 months of introducing new foods to Natey, he “enjoyed” everything at its purest (taste) in forms of purees. By 8mo it was time to add a little rice — we are Asians after all — and introduce meat to the menu. That’s how I started cooking porridge for him everyday. Meal [...]
This is our 13th month! For half of that time, Natey was fully breastfed before he started his solids at 6mo. For 6 months, he survived on nothing — except that few weeks of supplement *boo* — but his Mommy’s milk *beams* In the beginning 2 cells became one, he grew and fed within me [...]
Most babies and toddlers would have this some time (or not) in their diaper-clad life. Be it mild or severe, we hate it because we rather it be us than our Mini Me. Agree? But we don’t wear diapers! *ha* For 3 weeks now, the rash on Natey’s thighs and perianal area has not gone [...]

6 Jan 2011Little Bean Sterilizer & Baby Warmer NP: RM199.90, Sale Price: RM179.90 My Verdict: If you remember back in Oct 2009, when I prepared my 1st Nursery Checklist, I actually slashed this off after reading the thread in MsiaBrides. Most of the Mommies agreed that a sterilizer kit is a waste of money. Well, I beg to [...]
