Getting pregnant

 Getting pregnant is not easy. It involves multiple factors such as the health of the male and the female, stress, and things you used or eat.

We had pre-marital checkup so we know health is not a show stopper. However, after trying for few months with no good news, we sat down and think what could have went wrong. Of course, old wives practise of putting your bum up after intercourse had also been tried but still nope. (When you are trying to conceive, you will tend to try everything)

Finally, we thought of the lubricant that we have been using. A quick research confirmed our suspicions..vaginal lubricants are not sperm friendly*!

We can't totally do away with lubricants and were scratching our head. Further research led us to trying Pre-Seed Fertility Lubricant, a lubricant that uses sperm safe formula.

Sure enough, 1 month after the switch, i saw the long awaited 2 blue lines 😊

So ditch all over-the-counter vaginal lubricants, best is don't use any external products. But if you really have to, try Pre-Seed Fertility Lubricant, from my personal experience.

I did not even touch alcohol because I was breastfeeding I slept everyday with air conditioner I turn on the fan once I woke up and still blow directly at me. We believed these rules are passed down from China where many of our ancestors and elderlies came from. China has winter and thus it would make more sense to follow these rules. But hello, we are super near the equator, I think we will get heat stroke first. To appease the elderlies into me bathing everyday, I got this lemongrass...

Teethers

Most babies start teething from 4 to 6 months. You would notice they drool frequently too. During this time, it is good to get some teethers. I have tried a couple of teethers for my kids and found some that work better. Go for teethers that are light, easy to wash and sterilize, and closed loops (to prevent parts from dropping out and cause choking!). The traditional ones are those with water inside and usually kept in fridge to cool it like the ones below: They are good as it is one piece design and putting in the fridge will cool the water in it, soothing for the babies. But one worry of alot of parents is it might tear and the water in it is consumed by babies. Another type is those with plushie. We don't fancy it as the plushie would often be soaked with the baby's saliva. We feel it is very unhygenic as bacteria might get trapped in the plushie. So after experimenting with my eldest, I finally settle down with Pigeon training teether Step 1 and Step 2 . These are highly r...
