Mommytreats: Goodies for a Milking Mommsy

I've been exclusively breastfeeding L for 21 months already. There were humps and bumps on our journey. But I'm so glad because I have a good friend who help me since then (yey! super thanks best) plus I found more moms who are willing to help and believing in the importance of breastfeeding. 

Initially, Mommy Joyce was my cookies' supplier but she stopped her cookie's production after giving birth to her second child. Good then, I visited Mommy Paola's Mommy treats and learned how easy and hassle free when ordering her lactation treats. Her treats are comparable with the price but they are very tasty and suits my taste. What I loved more about Mommy Paola, she has number of promos every now and then. Just visit her fb page and hola you can view promos like either free shipping, additional treats or offers cdo with no extra charge (blessing for moms who cannot visit the banks.)

I love her oatmeal cookies, muffins and most her brownies! These goodies help me increase my milk supply for my growing little china doll.

Toddler's toiletries: Is it the Right Choice?

I'm a first time mom and no expert on child rearing. But I was raised from a family of 5 siblings and I'm the eldest. Lucky me, I have a brief stint of taking care my younger siblings. During those times, I have learned 2 things:

1. No child is the same.
2. Trial and error will play a significant role when I'm raising my own child.


Yes indeed! I'm using trial and error when it comes to choosing the brands and products that my lil' china doll are using. This is not a paid advertisement but merely sharing the trusted products that L is using.

Shampoo: Chicco Baby Moments No-tears  - This smells heavenly and even after washing L's hair. The smell will last even after a long day of harutan and lots of perspiration. It's parabens free and hypoallergenic. 200ml is almost 300Php while 500ml is 400Php. It's too late before I knew the price of the 500ml and how much savings I'll be making if I buy the bigger one. Roughly 2 bottles of 200ml  were consumed during L's 1st year.

Physiogel cleanser - Initially, SLMC gave my lil' china doll Lactacyd (color blue) as cleanser. However after 1 month of using. I found L's skin is very flaky and dry. Then we shifted to Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. It's another mild product and was endorsed by her pedia. Lo and behold, I found few rashes on her skin after several days of using it. Then we shifted to Phyisogel Cleanser. It's mild, for sensitive skin and hypoallergenic. I'm glad because of this decision her skins is smooth and rash free since then. Roughly it will cost 300Php for 300ml bottle size. I think 1000ml of Phyisiogel Cleanser is cheaper at SnR.

Mamypoko diaper - This is my personal favorite among L's essentials. This is the brand of diaper that L is using ever since. This is may be pricey compared from the other diapers available in the market. But absorption is very important and it will ensure L's continuous sleep even during wee hours in the morning.

I still have a long list of toddler's essentials and hopefully share the remaining on succeeding posts.
