Bangun Pagi, Gosok Hidung..........

It was quite sometime ago, hubbs and me wondered when we should start to teach Reyza to brush his teeth. His teeth only started to sprout when he was 9 months and at 14 months he has 4 upper front teeth, 3 lower front teeth & 1 lower premolars on the right. We often ask ourselves, how he's gonna spit the toothpaste out!. (hehehehehe).

After reading , her blog and believe in her success. I bought the stuffs she reviewed while I was at O.U last night. As we are very busy and sometimes don't even have the time to shop our own toiletteries stuff. I was determined to buy the toothbrush and toothpaste so I can start the learning process with Reyza as soon as possible.

Luckily , I brought hubby along as at (or most) times I'm fickled minded. What color of the toothbrush lah, what flavour toothpaste lah. I don't know how to choose (That's why I'm thankful with parents reviews on products! )

However, while I was asking hubbs what flavour toothpaste I should get. He gave me 'the' look and stare. He ask me , "why are you buying this product?". Hehehe.. I think he was skeptical about the packaging. So, I had to explained to him why I'm buying it, regardless if he felt the packaging does not give him any confidence in it.

After we came home last night, I was excited to show Reyza, his toothbrush and let him try it. The results? Let the pictures tell....

I betcha, you guys are laffing at the last 2 pics. Anyhows, we'll see Reyza's brushing techniques later. Until then...... Happy weekends everyone!

When I came home........

Finally, hubbs installed the baby gate in our kitchen. It has been good solid 4 months trying to manouver in the kitchen away from Reyza. He is free to roam the house, however he tends to bang us and scrapped our heels with his walker. Since, its quite hazardous for a baby to be in the kitchen when we are cooking. (with all the oil spilling,knives,drawers,etc.). So better be safe than sorry.

It took us sometime actually to find the gate, probably we were seeking a very very cheap gate as what we browse at most of the baby store is way above our budget. We felt the gate shouldnt have to be too pricey or fancy as the main objective is to keep Reyza out. Has anyone bought a baby gate before? Do share your price here.

Back to Reyza, I dont think he was too happy about it. Currently, he is trying to figure a way to get inside the kitchen. Well Reyza, untill that day comes, you play out of the kitchen.

Hmm. What is this contraption

Let me in! Let me in!

Changing bottles.

After procastinating for to long , plus considering wether I have enuff budget to buy new sets of feeding bottle. Hubbs & me finally made our way to OU, Jusco last night to grab some BPA- Free bottles.I knew about this issue after I have finish my confinement.

However, at that time I have already bought several 4oz bottles to be used by Reyza. And now, since these bottles have shown some deterioration signs, I have to buy new bottles to replace the old ones. But in Malaysia, the selection itself is so limited. The nice looking ones cost a bomb for just one bottle! Mak takda duit. I mean, its for the best health for our kids but I think we should at least find other alternatives which suits our pocket. Takkan nak berhutang demi botol susu?

For those unfamiliar with BPA. A glossary from SafeMama - Bisphenol-A (Bis-fen-ol) - Bisphenol A (BPA) is a hormone-mimicking chemical used in polycarbonate plastic resins, epoxy resins, and other products. It is most commonly used in baby bottles or any type of hard shatterproof plastic containers. It is also found in the lining of canned goods, plastic wrap and other household plastics. Bisphenol has estrogenic properties which, in animal tests has shown to cause a bevy of health problems such as an increase in prostate and breast cancer, uro-genital abnormalities in male babies, a decline in semen quality in men, early onset of puberty in girls, metabolic disorders including insulin-resistant (Type 2) diabetes and obesity and neurobehavioral problems such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Research is showing that when plastic containers, mostly those used to hold liquids and foods, are leeching Bisphenol into the foods and liquids they are holding. Heating food and liquids with these plastics is shown to increase the leeching of this contaminate.

Malaysian made BPA-Free bottles are already available on the shelves by Pureen. Design dia, so-so. If you wanna know how it looks like, look here

But last wednesday after browsing tru several brands of bottles I finally found this. This actually looks plain but I like. Ia nampak 'bersih' & 'simple. Plus, it fits my budget. If you wanna know more about BPA, go read here.
