Lunavie baby fair 12 May to 15 May 2016 @Midvalley

I have some friends that are pregnant and they are looking to shop for baby products. It's good as new parent will need to purchase nursing cover and breast pads. Breastfeeding is good for baby and new mom may need to use the disposable breast pads due to engorgement or leakage of milk. 

Being mommy of two boys, I experienced the engorgement and leakage of breast milk. It's important to use the disposable breast pads to absorb the leakage of milk. Sometimes when you are outside you tend to forgot to bring the breast pump or stuck in jams, its good to use the disposable breast pads to avoid any inconvenience. 

#nursingcover

Nursing cover can be use if mommy is breastfeeding in public. 

If you are looking to purchase baby gift for loved ones, you can shop them. The nursing cover comes with different colors too. 

Lunavie has baby friendly products and new parents can shop for their new born baby on this coming baby fair. Look out for the Lunavie booth at Midvalley from 12 May to 15 May 2016.

You can online shopping for baby friendly products at

Modern Lion Dance VS Traditional Lion Dace

We love watching the movie Ah Boys to Men 1 and 2, so now there's The Lion Men part 1. Yesterday we watched the movie in GSC Midvalley, I am glad we have a quality family time to watch.

What do you think of Modern Lion Dance mix with hip hop and street performance together performed?

Tosh Zhang is one of the actors in the movie, he's Shi Shen so handsome and I like his new hairstyle in the movie. Mikey is Wang Wei Liang, he's the boy called himself Lobang in Ah Boys to Men. In movie The Lion Men, he's fear of height and he needs to confront his fear to compete in Lion Dance competition.

I find that there's no need of kitchen part for this movie where they are cooking, but it's fine we will see Mikey doing the cooking, he made delicious bao like Ding Tai Fung. His's called Mikey but everyone calling him Monkey.

It's nice movie to watch, movie rated PG13, bring your children to watch if they like to see Lion Dance comes to life just like robot. Mikey has a plush toy of Lion Dance, he always talk to his toy and one day it comes to life to talk to him and show him ways of perform Lion Dance.

Shopping diapers for my toddler

How's everyone on this Monday evening? Yesterday we head to Midvalley for shopping diapers for my toddler. It's baby fair there, and I bought 4 packs for Huggies each pack RM27.88. The sales person insists me to purchase 8 packs so there will be a free duck pool. Sad to say, I have bad experience with previous shopping of Huggies with freebie. I doubt I am going to purchase 8 packs plus the car in basement 2, the diapers are heavy!

At the fair they have only two brands available Mammy poko and Huggies, so I am unable to compare other brand.

As for my friend, she did purchased 8 packs because she's expecting her newborn this coming March. I saw the duck pool it's not very big, though it looks cute but I decided that I only need 4 packs. We still training son to be diaper free.

The freebie swimming pool that we got previously no longer available for my children to play. The swimming pool have leakage and can never be repair.

Make Safety Your Child's Companion - Indoor And Outdoor‏

As every parent holds their new-born infant, the overwhelming feeling of unconditional love and care envelopes the child the moment the baby is held in their arms. What’s more, the smile of the baby brings a sweet and warm joy to the parents knowing that their precious child is happy, feeling safe and protected.  Nonetheless, deriving the reason behind the smile of the baby is what pulls experts at Aprica and Graco to engineer simple modern solutions to best enrich every family's journey to make safety the child's companion, inside and outside.

To ensure that infants grow happily in a safe environment, there are little things which parents can do to protect them from the more serious injuries that can lead to disabilities and even fatalities. Accidents can occur indoors and outdoors, and most of them can be prevented when safe and prudent precautions are taken. For instance, the increase in car accidents involving infants and children every year is a dreadful reality which highlights the issue of child safety.

A crash test analysis conducted by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) in 2010 revealed that an adult passenger will not have the required strength to prevent an infant or a child from being thrown forward during a collision at any speed applied. More frighteningly, at a vehicle driving at the speed of a mere 50km per hour, an unsecured infant weighing 7.0kg will actually be thrown forward at a powerful force of 240kg/sq², which is an equivalent impact of an adult falling from a five-storey building. These numbers reveal that infants are the most vulnerable passengers and a high percentage of children in Malaysia were unfortunately killed during road accidents; more than any other causes known to date.

With this in mind, Kinderdijk Sdn Bhd launched a one-week Child Safety Roadshow Campaign that centres on Kinderdijk’s commitment to strongly remind parents and guardians to be wary and to take all necessary precautions to safeguard their children’s safety. The roadshow held from 14^th to 20^thOctober 2013 in Mid Valley Megamall, also showcased a line of Aprica and Graco child safety car seats, strollers, baby carriers and travel systems, all of which are designed in line with the principles of paediatrics and childcare engineering to enhance childcare and create a fun family life.

Picture above from left to right, Gwei, Jenny Kwan and Tee posing with Aprica's stroller.

Gwei Tze-Co, Managing Director, Kinderdijk Sdn Bhd said, “Based on the statistics, more parents seem to assume that holding their child or letting them sit on the lap is enough to protect them from the impact of accidents. It is also becoming a worrying trend that the usage of child safety car seats and travel systems are not something that most Malaysian parents take seriously. Parents must understand that children are the most precious cargo on-board; hence safety should not be undervalued, nor taken for granted as it can benefit them in the long-run.”

“According to the study conducted by MIROS, an infant will be flung forward at a high velocity albeit being held by an adult during a vehicle collision at only 30km per hour and most likely will be killed as the direct result of such violent impact. Thus, being equipped with the right and comfortable baby travelling equipment can provide a peace of mind to parents when using the equipment while travelling,” said Jenny Kwan, Senior Sales Manager, Hong Kong & ASEAN, Newell Rubbermaid Asia Pacific. “Furthermore, parents need to practice buckling up and young children should be taught on how to use them. Safety is crucial to child development and it is imperative to cultivate the prudent habit from young.”

Understanding the Reason behind the Baby’s Smile

Psychologists have found that babies are the most happiest when they feel secure and safe in a trusted environment. A baby’s smile can bring wonders and eases the stress away. To ensure babies are safe, experts at Aprica are designing products that are developed with scientific approaches and medical science on babies and childcare engineering to provide comfort to the baby. Likewise, Graco is providing safety solutions that make childcare easier with products which are fully convenient and intuitive, catering to making a fun family life.

In light of this, Aprica has formed the 8.3.8 Principle to identify, protect and nurture the baby’s body and mind to create the best environment for babies with the development of comfortable baby products. Aprica has drawn out ‘8 Medical Structures to protect and nurture babies’ from the ‘8 Babies’ immaturity in body to be protected’ structure and ‘3 Baby’s emotional growth to be encouraged’ concept identified through researches on baby paediatrics and childcare engineering.

                                                                                                                 

          Wong explaning the Aprica's 838 concept, you can refer chart below for detail.

“At Kinderdijk, we understand that care and safety are essential to keep the baby comfortable and secure. The Aprica and Graco products distributed by Kinderdijk are innovatively engineered and carefully designed to provide convenience and security to parents, especially those who are leading a modern lifestyle,” Gweiadded.  Given that comfort and safety are vital to form the foundation of childcare devices, the following are the standards that guide Aprica engineers to develop baby products essential to make babies happy.
