Crocs

Amidst a few negative write-ups and feedbacks about Crocs, I’d still love to have my kids a pair each. It’s soft, comfortable and lightweight.

Claire’s (I mean my) wishlist

I’m already counting the days as in less than a month, my youngest is turning one. No party as it was my and hubby’s mutual decision not to throw one for her. Instead, we plan (still a plan though) to just go somewhere outside of the city and just chill. In our finances are overflowing, I would have loved to buy toys for her.

Sadly though, this is a far cry from reality. Well, I just wish her Ninongs and Ninangs would stumble upon this post and remember her on her birthday. Who knows, one of the toys I’ve been dreaming for her would be granted. It ain’t so bad to dream, right?

Breastfeeding full time

When I had Joshua, I was able to exclusively breastfed him for two months only. When I returned to work, I had him formula fed during day time and breastfed during night time. When he reached six months, and right after he had UTI, he stopped latching on me. That was the start of his journey of formula feeding.

I'll be delivering the little princess via C-section in 6 weeks time. And like her kuya, she'll be more prone to infection, based on studies. So, I am 100% sure to breastfeed her for one year. Aside from all the good benefits she will have from it, mommy and daddy will save more :D

This will be my wishlist for my breastfeeding journey:

1. Milktrays - Instead of using 4oz bottles for storage, these milktrays will be more convenient and will not eat a lot of space in the freezer. Available here.

 

 

 

 

2. Breastpump - This will be my ultimate companion / fairy for the success of my breastfeeding chronicle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Nursing Bib - I have to have this as I'll be directly breastfeed her when we're out of the house.  Available here.
