Earth MaMa Angel Baby Nipple Butter

I find these products are really good and I want to share it with Moms who might need it :- (1) Earth Mama Angle Baby Natural Nipple Butter : This is a lanolin-free balm made with organics ingredients. It is safe for both Moms and Babies, do not need to wipe it off before breastfeeding. It keeps your nipple moisture to prevent from soreness and cracked. :( However, my sore and cracked nipples are in severe stage, I still get cracked nipples due to frequent pumping using my Medela Mini Electric. I have tried Lasinnoh lanolin, it is too sticky and it makes my nipple stick to my bra all the time which eventually drag the period of healing. Another good way, to sooth sore nipple is to soak your nipples in a warm salt water. I did not try hydrogel which is also recommended from the Internet, it looks tedious to use hydrogel as it requires lots of washing before and after use. Oh, it is also good to purchase the Medela Nipple Protection, it looks like a shell which allow your nipples to breathe and not stick to your bra pad.

(2) Earth Mama Angle Baby Bottom Balm : So far, I have used it on my baby's bottom. TOUCH WOOD la, no rashes. I also used it on her face where redness appeared. I applied on her hands where mosquito bites are. Very effective, after 1 day, all these bites and redness disappear. Good good good! It's only RM 49.90 and you just need to apply very tiny amount each time.

(3) Earth Mama Angle Baby Stretch Oil : To be honest, It didn't really work on me. It doesn't help me prevent from my stretch Mark. Stretch Marks happen due to individual skin elasticity, but MAYBE if I did not apply it, my stretch marks would probably turn worse from just BAD. Anyway, I love the smell, the essential oil just calm you down before your sleep. This is very expensive as compared to Bio-Oil & Palmers, it cost about RM 119.00 if I am not wrong.

You can get all these easily online from http://www.momslittleones.com/ or from Bebehaus in One Utama. Try to get a discount from Bebehaus, they would give a 5% or 10% discount depending on your total purchased amount.

My Baby is frightened by Me??

Baby Chloe slept half way and cried in shocked, my mum immediately carried her and rocked her to sleep. Oh My God, what did i do this morning? Why is she frightened? She got up frightened a few times till now.



I was awaken by Baby Chloe's crying at 9am, immediately I checked on her and fed her 70ml of milk. When I tried to burp her, she vomited half of the fed milk. It happened from time to time, so I just softly said sorry to Baby Chloe. She could be overfed or I didn't burp her properly. Then, she pooed! Waited her "Poo Finale" for 5 minutes, then I personally bathed her since my mum went for her Yoga Class.



Surprisingly she din't cry this time when I bathed her just now, and she looked very happy with the bath. Then I turn her back side up, thinking that I can wash her back and buttock properly this way, I think i accidentally chocked her with some water. Sob Sob Sob. Immediately, "Wu Nga Wu Nga". Gosh.. I shouldn't have done that since I am not so expert yet. Without hesitation, I carried her and hold her with my right arm while my left hand quickly grab the towel to wrap her up. I pat her chest to calm her down and start apologizing even though she might not understand it. GUILTY la! I made sure she's clean and swiftly transferred her to the cot. Dressed her up, fed her and got her to sleep.

After a while, I heard Baby Chloe crying. This crying pattern is totally different from her normal cries. Usually, when she's hungry or needs a diaper change; her cries are usually loud and clear. This time round, her cry was short and sounded a little terrified. I put her near me while she was sleeping on the travelling sleeper to make an observation. Within half an hour, Baby Chloe cried in fear again while her body jerked. OMG, what did I do to my baby.

Up to now, 5.10pm she cried in fear twice. Will continue to observe...

Upgraded!!

My Baby Chloe is no longer satisfied with her 60ml of milk. We are trying to increase the volume to 80ml. Sometimes, she is able to finish with no vomiting but sometimes she would vomit if we fed her 80ml. Then, we tried to decrease it to 70ml and she would complain within half an hour asking for more. Perhaps, the pumped breast milk's thickness varies from time to time. If it contained more fats, she would be satisfied with just 60ml, if it's too watery, even if we gave her 80ml, she would still complain.

Anyway, her appetite is definitely upgraded from 60ml to 80ml. Yeah, My Baby Chloe is growing.

Blocked Nose & Sticky Eyes

Baby Choe Says :

This morning, papa & mama brought me to visit Dr. Patrick for my blocked nose & sticky eyes. My nose was blocked since the first day of birth, it is making me uncomfortable especially at night. According to Dr. Patrick, my sticky eyes caused by a duct that connect from my nostril to my eyes. MaMa was so worried when she saw me with the right eye with discharge non-stop. Papa suggested to pay Dr. Patrick a visit and get it treated before it got worse.

Dr. Patrick asked PaPa & MaMa does anyone in the family has nose allergy. MaMa gazed at PaPa and nodded to indicate to Dr. Patrick that PaPa has nose allergy. But PaPa immediately defended himself and exclaimed : " No, I don't have Nose Allergy", MaMa insisted that PaPa has Nose Allergy and it just got treated recently only. Dr. Patrick smiled and told PaPa not to be so defensive, just answer Yes or No. He added that he's not trying to blame PaPa's for Baby Chloe's blocked nose but to gather more information in order to understand about Baby Chloe's problem. Then, Dr. Patrick continued by asking does anyone smoke? PaPa answered suspiciously "CASUALLY". Again, Dr. Patrick emphasized to PaPa that he just need to give him a Yes and No answer and he is not trying to be offensive. Haha...So funny. I saw Dr. Patrick and his nurse laughing at PaPa's answer. Dr. Patrick told PaPa since he's only smoking CASUALLY, he might as well quit it to ensure Baby Chloe's health. PaPa was reminded that he should get shower and clean up before touching Baby Chloe's after any CASUAL smoke because PaPa's breath will actually pass the nicotine to Baby Chloe.

Dr. Patrick also suggested that MaMa should put Wow Wow outside the house to prevent any worsening of nose allergy. Since Wow Wow is MaMa's first baby, MaMa told Dr. Patrick that Wow Wow cannot survive living outside the house. However, Dr. Patrick understood that it is very difficult to change this condition since Wow Wow has been with MaMa for 10 years. MaMa, don't worry la, I love Wow Wow also. And I know that Wow Wow loves me, she's always trying to peep at me to make sure that I am comfortable. Wow Wow stays with us always.

Baby Chloe's 13th Day Old

I was awoke since 6.30am after feeding my baby. My mum saw me and she said she needs to go to office to settle some works. Without hesitation, I told my mum to go back to office and I will take care of Baby Chloe.

Hurray, it is my very first experience bathing Baby Chloe. I got Baby Chloe for sun bathing for 10 minutes, then bathed her. Before even I started, she seems to know that I am putting her into the bath tub and started roaring "Wu Nga Wu Nga Wu Nga". I did not panic at all since I was warned by my mum that she would scream during her bath. I tested the temperature of the water with my right hand while holding Baby Chloe on my left arm. The water was warm as instructed by my mum, and i dabbed a little of water to Baby Chloe's chest and there went Wu Nga Wu Nga again. Wow, Loud & Clear. Ignored her complains, i quickly put her into the bath tub while holding her tightly to make sure she doesn't slip away. I started with her little feet, toe to toe. Then, her legs, backside, pipi, then her body front and back. Washing her hair is a difficult task!! How to wash? She was crying, kicking & moving vigorously. How am I suppose to wash her hair and hold her tight? Eventually, I lifted her up and covered with a bath towel and then wash her hair while holding her on my lap. Luckily my mum and granny were not there, otherwise they would probably screamed at me. I did not spend too much time washing her hair, and swiftly rinsed off the shampoo. mm~~ Smell so babyish! I love my baby so much. Hahaha...

Immediately I dried her up in the bath room and transferred her to her beautiful cot. Massage her with Johnson Baby Moisturizer Lotion, apply Nappy Rash Cream, Powder her body and backside. Subsequently, got her changed into Pink Clothes, Pink Mittens, Pink Booties and wrapped her up with a piece of white nappy.

*Phew* Job completed. It was quite challenging for a first timer like me. But satisfying!

It will never go wrong to feed her after a nice bath; she was so enjoyed with her 60ml of pumped breast milk. However, it is not so fulfilling for me as I still couldn't breastfed her directly. Something told me that the process is not wholly completed.

After putting her to sleep, then it was my turn to SHOWER. Yeah. My mum told me to wait till Saturday but I couldn't wait any longer. I STINK! STINK! STINK! Had my face mask applied and soak into sitz bath for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes of soaking, I jumped into the shower area and had all the pleasure to wash myself from HEAD to TOE.

What a good day!
