I'm a full-time mummy

I hope you enjoy reading my baby room review as much as I enjoy sneaking in my camera along with my baby and sheepishly taking pictures during the nursing session hehehehe.... I have previously blogged about the baby room in IPC in June 2012 and we were there a while ago and I noticed the room has been revamped and it looks nice, I told myself I gotta blog about it!

MY FEEDBACK

Location: There is proper signage that will lead you to the baby room in 2nd floor. There's a sign outside telling you that there is also another baby room in the 1st floor.

Facilities: Dustbin, mirror, sink, handwash liquid, paper towel dispenser right next to the sink, an anti-slip mat in front of the sink, a diaper changing station, 2 comfy sofas and a table next to the sofas. I love the new wallpaper designs too!

There is also a magazines rack right next to the door, I didn't check out the magazines though. There are 2 power outlets next to the baby diaper changing station.

I checked back my previous review on the same room and noticed they used to have a curtain around one of the sofa to cordon it off for breastfeeding mums instead of the 2 sofas now right next to each other and no more curtain in the baby room. I wished they put back the curtain as there are some nursing mothers who prefer to stil have some privacy when nursing as I've seen men in the baby room accompanying their wife when changing their baby's diaper so with a curtain in the room, at least everybody can still continue doing their tasks and not feeling like intruding or anything. Just my 2 cents...

Comfort Level: The room size is just nice, cosy, though I feel the room is abit too cold (hence the picture below of me covering up our 4 months old Carolyn), nice setting and comfortably lit.

Early this month, I received an email from Edward of Baby Toys MY on the possibility to review some of the products sold in his company and after checking out the website, I asked whether I could review 2 of the products, a teether and a rattle which I thought is right on time to be tried out by our 5 months old Carolyn.

The sponsor not only hand deliver the products to me, they also generously gave another toy for her! And they actually brought 2 designs for me to choose! Nice touch! Anyway, let's continue with my review below...

About the company:
"We understand the excitement of being parent and you wish to have the best for your precious baby. We at babytoys with much joy bring to you baby toys which are safe for your baby, baby toys that are made from organic and biodegradable materials. Our Vision is to see babies in the Asia Pacific region excited about growing up with their toys. Our Mission is to provide toys that are safe for babies from 0+ "

I received a total of 3 products for our review which I will break it down for easier reading:

# 1 : BabyBuds Ring Rattle Buddy - Owl

There are currently 2 designs for the rattle product and I chose the owl design due to the striking big owl eyes. It is the first thing that caught my attention and I would think being 5 months old and starting to see things around clearly now, something this striking and so contrast would be eye catching for our baby.

The rattle size is not too big that our baby can't be able to hold onto, in fact, it is just a nice and she had a good time chomping on the plastic ring actually.

One thing that kinda annoys me is the label. It is kinda big, not to my liking and half the time I was very tempted to cut it off actually. I would appreciate if the labelling size is smaller like probably an inch long or lesser.

I had initially worried that the plastic ring would be too hard and that it might be dangerous to our 5 months old girl. You see, with 2 kiddos who like to fight make-up fight make-up in seconds, it is kinda freaky if the rattle ends up being a tool to whack or throw towards (and ends up thrown to) our innocent bystander but I have tried whacking the plastic ring to my forehead (yes, I have weird ways to test the products I review!), not hard and worries of danger is no longer there. Phewww...

In summary, a nice cute looking comfy rattles that also doubles up as a soft toy and teether as well!

# 2 : BabyBuds Teether Buddy - Owl

Similar to the rattle, there are currently 2 designs for the teether product and I chose the owl design due to the striking big owl eyes. The soft plush portion is same design as per the owl rattle.

You can see the small rounded dots on the ring surface which is meant to be chew/gummed by a child. The teether size is about 6 inches long, just nice that our baby can hold onto but she still needs a bit practise to hold onto the ring part to chew on - not the product problem, our girl's finger grasp is not strong yet hence I still guide her to hold onto the ring.

I have tried to bend the plastic teether ring portion. Very flexible and easy to bend, not a concern that it would be too hard to be chewed/gummed on.

In summary, again, a nice cute looking comfy teether that also doubles up as a soft toy!

# 3 : BabyBuds Plush Buddy - Zebra

This is a surprise product that was added in when I met the sponsor who was passing me the 2 products I requested for. The sponsor brought along the 2 available designs (monkey and zebra) for me to choose on the spot and I chose the zebra design as I think it looks cuter with its stripes and mane.

The soft toy is about 25 by 25cm in size, just nice, not too small that it goes unnoticed and not too big that it ends up a hassle to hold around. I like that the legs and tail were tied in knots as I saw our 5 months old girl trying to grasp and holding onto the knots tightly. (But the OCD part of me really wants to untangle the knots!!) Again, I feel that the labelling is a tad too big.

I had to earlier gently repeat a couple of times to our 2.5 years old Alyson that the zebra soft toy belongs to her baby sister. But just to satisfy her curiosity, I let Alyson have a go at the soft toy first. Once she got the idea that the toy is meant for Carolyn, she gently passed the soft toy to her baby sister who immediately investigates the new soft plush object hovering around her.

It looks so cute to see Carolyn holding onto the zebra soft toy! It's like she's riding the zebra, right?

Heart-warming sights.... Mmmmmm... In summary, a cute soft toy that could just become your kiddo's best friend for a long time!

I hope you enjoy reading my baby room review as much as I enjoy sneaking in my camera along with my baby and sheepishly taking pictures during the nursing session hehehehe.... Today's post is in this newly opened mall called 'The School' in Jaya One, Petaling Jaya. There's nothing much to see when we went there, some educational shops here and there, lots of nice and cute alphabets decoration (F for Fly, U for UFO, N for ninja) that I took the opportunity to test our 5 years old boy.

Anyway, as a breastfeeding mother of 3, my hubby happily told me there's a nursing room nearby after he got back from bringing our boy to the toilet. So I went to check out the nursing room since I was due to nurse our 5 months old Carolyn anyway hehehe...

MY FEEDBACK

Location: I apologised as I did not take note which floor was the nursing room located at, but it was near the big shop selling lots and lots of bicycles, trikes, strollers, toys etc. Signage pointing to the nursing room is easy to locate. From far you will notice the automatic sliding door into the baby room.

Once you stepped into the baby room, on the left hand side you will see a small toilet for children, good for those in potty training stage. Next to it is the nursing room, there's a door which you can close and lock (though the lock was not working when I was using the room). There's a few platform for diaper changing statio and a sink next to them.  

Facilities: Dustbin, mirror, sink, handwash liquid, paper towel dispenser right next to the sink, electrical outlets, some diaper changing station, 1 comfy sofa and some more electrical outlets in the nursing room.

Comfort Level: The room is comfortably lit and cosy (picture above of me nursing our 5 months old Carolyn), room size is just nice  though I feel it can do with another sofa to make full use of the room space. Probably add in some nice wall paper deco or some magazines for the nursing mums to read or browse through? Just some suggestions...

Oh, and one more thing, while I was nursing, I noticed a loose screw at the corner near the door and some cracks on the wall near the floor, looks moldy from where I sat. The nursing room could do with a little bit more improvements, otherwise it is comfortable enough for a nursing mum.
