Happy Mommies / Hands

Today I will tell you, one of the ways I enjoy doing my chores.

Having a baby made a lot more changes than I was expecting ! Getting my nail done was my favorite thing to do, especially having all kinds of design and colors could make me feel like " I can't choose" ! But now, definitely I can't go to the nail salon, because I can't leave my baby alone nor take him with myself! 

I started painting my nails myself and with the amazing top coat of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - any nail color I can use, and it is dry in 30 seconds. 

 

After my baby has his feed, and start his nap, I can color my nails and it's gonna be dry less than a minute. 

Changing a diaper with the red nails is so much fun. Actually I enjoy looking at my nails while I'm using my hands. It makes me happy :)

Holding the baby, feeding him, playing with him, bathing him, and whatever other work, it's just different after my nails are done. By different I mean enjoyable. 

Ladies it's the time to put on your lipstick and have your hot chololate ... isn't hot chocolate more tasty if your nails are done !? Just try it ❤️

I will share with you my favorite colors and brands of nail polish, and how I like them in my future posts.

Diapers, MamyPoko

If you live in Asia, you would know that MamyPoko is one of the strong brands of diapers in South East Asia. 

In my post on Huggies I mentioned that, I met a new parent couple in hospital. They gave their opinion on Huggies, and as I was still pregnant, so I was curious to know people's opinion on baby's products, I asked them what diaper brand are they using? The answer was unreservedly "MamyPoko is the best"!!! Well it was their first baby, not even a month old yet. 

They are in my first consumer group category, the group that media made it clear to them, what is a good brand. Congratulation to the MamyPoko company I love your marketing strategy. 

((I was out of MamyPoko diaper, just grab an opportunity in the supermarket))

First thing that everyone checks a diaper brand for is its price! MamyPoko is not cheap!

When I dressed my baby for the first time with MomyPoko it leaked! Because I was using Huggies with the elastic waistband and MamyPoko doesn't have it. I didn't know it will loosen itself around the waist after sometime of wearing it!!! I left a breathing space for my baby on the tummy, and later when I changed his diaper my hand could go through the space between diaper and tummy !!! 

I hate it when I had to tighten the diaper around his waist that much. 

One other problem I had with MomyPoko was at night time. I had to change my baby's diaper at least 2 times at night, the changing diaper routines woke my baby up, and so all the hope of just waking up to feed baby, and catching up on sleep was gone.

What if I didn't change the diaper at night?! Well, easy and short answer! His bed could become like a cloth on top of the boiling pot! Full of moisture and warmth.

If there is one thing I like about MomyPoko, is it's coverage of the baby's butt. MomyPoko's coverage compared to Huggies is much wilder in both ways - horizontal and vertical on baby's bottom. 

All of my updates on MomyPoko will be in this page.

Diapers, Huggies

Diaper

As I wrote in my previous post, I am going through the diaper brands that I have used on my sweetheart's butt. As I will go through the details of each diaper, I will write on each brand in a separate post. 

I want to start sharing about my baby!!! Since every baby is unique, so I will tell you about my baby's size. 

    

Now he is around 6+ kg, his thighs are lovely, because he gained weight there first. Usually I can't dress him the size that the diaper brands suggested because the diapers are small around his thighs and leave a red mark there, so I have to use a bigger size. Right now I am using  L size.

About his skin I can say I just love his ultra soft skin which fortunately is not sensitive. He got diaper rash just once which all settled down by the next day. 

Well, let's start with Huggies ...

The hospital that my son was born in provided Huggies and a new parent we met told us the hospital used Huggies because they received them for free! But the nursery staff told us, they use Huggies because babies wouldn't get diaper rash !?

Anyway, after my 3 night stay in hospital, my son finished exactly one packet of S size Huggies. However, on the day of our discharge, they opened another new packet, so we had no choice but pay for the extra packet. That's my first time experience of the brand! It was Huggies ultra. Even so, I liked using them. 

My baby was born 2.9 kg, he was too tiny when we first brought him home. Huggies fitted him very well. It felt breathable to me and the cotton looked ok. What I like most about Huggies is the elastic waistband. 

Anyway my son couldn't wear S size when his weight was about 3.5kg anymore because of the red marks the diaper left on his thighs, So I had to switch to a bigger size. 

I started disliking Huggies because of the overall fit on my baby.  The recommended size by weight was leaving deep red marks on his thighs, while the bigger size was leaking. It is too narrow on the butt. 

Well, I still continue using Huggies because I dislike the other brands that I tested more than Huggies, until I tried a Japanese brand ( I'll tell you about it soon). For now, I still have Huggies to use. 

My dear hubby suggested that I better try Huggies dry pants too, so I did. Not a good idea !!! As my baby is fully breastfed and his poop is soft, taking off the diaper was too difficult, so I used scissors. Later I found out that pants are good when the babies can stand up themselves, and is recommended for active babies. However I think around the thighs the dry pants is a bit tighter than Huggies ultra. 

I was reading the reviews on diaper brands and I read lots of positive comments on Pampers but where I live,  I still haven't found it at the local supermarkets! I am not sure if the Pampers company doesn't want to sell here or I am looking for it in wrong places!?!? 

I will update you here on my Huggies experience.

Happy Mommies/lips

Hello ladies 

I'm going to share one of my secrets today on how in the boring afternoon when my little bundle of joy has his nap I enjoy myself.

I think it's not just me but all the girls, we love to look at mirror and meet a gorgeous lady there, that will give us confidence and joy. 

For sure waking up many many times at night, doing all kind of chores wouldn't let us remember a inner voice is saying "hey girl put that basket of laundry down and put on your lipstick !" That's it Lipstick 💄 

I can't remember when was it, that I discovered the fact "I am no longer sad!" when I saw my lipstick mark on my coffee cup, since then anytime I feel sad or even tired just picking up that  baby miracle would change me a lot more than just a red/pink lips.  

Girls Put On Your Lipstick and Make Yourself a Cup of Hot Chocolate 👍

In my future post I will tell you how I started enjoying my chores.

Diapers: 

Diaper duty It's a mommies job, but it's true to say that none of us could think of touching or thinking, and even having a dream about poop when we were our mommy's girl. There you go we are spending hours everyday with it.

We got used to looking at inside the diaper, check the quality and quantity of the poop much stricter than the drug companies do for their production line.

We are spending hours and hours reading about a sweet topic of poop and baby bottom care, and when it comes to choosing a diaper we are covered by lots of positive and negative advertising for each of the brands.

Let me put it this way, media made it clear to some group of mommies what is the good brand ! While another group wouldn't feel happy till they make sure that they got the best fit for their baby. 

Well I am in the  second group, that's why I tried what ever brand I could find in the supermarkets. 

In my next post I'm gonna share with you what is my expectation from a diaper, what is a good diaper from my point of view, and also I'm gonna go through the details of each brand that I have used for my baby.

Love you all

About Me

I am going to share about myself, since this is my first post on this blog I thought it's better to have some introduction on myself.

I am a mother, wife and I work as a freelance researcher on business matters. I always wanted to be a mother, I mean since I was a little girl. I had no clue that having a baby needs so much of works, even to the level that mother can totally forget about herself.

I live far away from my homeland country so I have no family to help me, and my hubby's family are not gonna lend a hand  even for a simple thing ! 

I love my family, and that's a reason I learnt how to stay positive and happy always.

I'm gonna share my secrets with you on my future posts. I'll write the ways I could stay happy, and I hope you enjoy them too. 

I say :

"Happy babies have Happy mommies" 

"Time is passing,let's notice and catch the small moments of life to celebrate a Happy Life"

Cheers to all of you gorgeous moms.
