Review Philip Avent Natural Feeding Bottle

I am a supporter of Philip Avent Milk bottles ever since the birth of Hiroshi.
It has everything a good bottle should have.
Wide neck, easy to read gauge & anti colic teats.
I have honestly no complains over the old bottles!

But the new ones blows bells and whistles.
With the new ergonomic shape,
it provided a easy grip for Jame's tiny hands.
The breast-shaped teat
has also facilitate the bottle feeding virgin to instantly latch on.

I'm lovin' it

Review of Philip Avent Comfort Breast Pump (Manual)

I am honestly disappointed when Avent sent me
the Comfort manual breast pump
instead of the Comfort electrical breast pump for reviewing purposes.

I've heard plenty of good reviews for Avent's electrical breast pumps
But unfortunately, I won't be able to experiece the "goodness" for myself. 

My first breast pump in 2005 which was a gift to us
was a Manual Avent Breast Pump.
A dreadful sleep deprived mother,
laboring with a manual breast pump,
equipped with wrong information about breast feeding
wasn't the correct formula for successful breast feeding.

Needless to say,
my breast feeding journey which has kicked off successfully in the hospital
dwindled to a sad ending within 3 weeks.

I was excited when Avent announced the changed in design.
The first in 29 years.
I didn't see any significant differences when I unboxed the product.
However upon close inspection,
I notice that the handle's shape is more ergonomic.
The tiny white star valve has been replaced by a bigger one.
And the massage cushion seems to have significantly improved.

Introducing Philip Avent Comfort Manual Breast Pump

Assembling the Comfort Manual Breat Pump  

User Experience:
Comfortable and sits nicely on the breast.
The ergonomic handle makes pumping slightly easier.
Quiet, Compact, easy to bring around.
Although the product has promised a more comfortable expressing position,
I still find the need to lean forward for a more effective pump.

Other than good food,
Shoes are the next things in line that we would spurge on.
Especially Children Shoes!
I believe that good shoes are a necessity for proper feet development.
Good shoes should
be breathable, 
equip with non slip soles, 
good design, good support, 
and being esthetically pleasing would be a huge bonus!

We were delighted to to find ourselves reviewing 

Upon receiving them,
I couldn't help but went oohs and ahhs over it.
They've passed the bonus round test.
These shoes are cute as buttons!

They were handmade in United Kingdom.
100% cotton lining & Soft fleece insole.
Has anti slip suede soles.
Soft flat and flexible sole,
which was perfect for pre walker shoes.
I've also notice that the shoes are wider in the front,
allowing ample room for toe development.

Despite James tugging violently, 
the shoes stay on!

And the best of all,
it is machine washable!!

Philips Avent Introduces Redesigned Comfort Breast Pumps & Natural Feeding Bottles

Philips Avent has recently announced the launch of it's redesigned bottles and breast pumps. It's the 1st in 29 years, and we were privileged to be invited to it's media event to understand more.

The event was held in a little beautiful colonial house at Monk's Hill Terrance. Other than minor hiccups that the products were not sent before the event; so that we could use, evaluate and ask questions..... All I could say was it was really well planned, organized and  well executed event.

They were extremely thoughtful.
Childminding services were provided. 
And James gave me a breather of..... say 10mins. 
Which actually feels like eternity.
Since now that he is older, 
he learns to emotionally blackmail me the moment I leave him on his rocker!!
*big fat grin*

The set up was really informal,
The information packed presentation was over in 20 minutes.
We were introduced to the redesigned 
Comfort range Breast Pumps and Natural range Milk Bottles.

The redesigned range of comfort breast pumps were pleasing to the eyes!
I mean honestly, 
how could you have said no to such a pretty breast pump!

Comfort Breast Pump comes in 3 available options.
Manual, Single Electric & Double Electric.

Unlike other pumps, 
Philips Avent Comfort Breast Pumps allows mothers to express milk 
in a comfortable reclined position, 
instead of leaning forward.

It's soft massage cushion feels warm and natural on the breast, 
as it's soft silicon petals gently massage the breast to stimulate let-down reflex, 
encouraging milk flow and supply.

And most importantly,
It's compact design makes it easy to position on your breast, 
and it's ergonomically shaped handle offers a comfortable hold and full control 
when expressing milk. 
Being small and light weight means it is easy to store and transport.
This is a huge plus for working mothers.

Comfort Manual Breast Pump: 
This is self explanatory I guess. 
Simply means you manually pump.

Comfort Single Electric Breast Pump:
Features a gentle stimulation mode and three expression settings
Easy to use on-the-go with batteries

Comfort Double Electric Breast Pump:
Double pumping for milk in less time
Features a gentle stimulation mode and three expression settings
Includes a handy travel bag

 Other than the Comfort range Breast Pumps,
the Natural range Milk Bottles are amazing too!

The Wide Breast-Shaped Treat promises high acceptance 
and an almost instant latch-on, 
as well as preventing nipple confusion 
when mother switch between bottles and breast feeding.

Unique Comfort Petals inside the teat 
increases flexibility and stretch of the teat, 
preventing teat-collapse for a smooth, natural and uninterrupted feed

  The new Advance anti-colic system not only prevents leak, 
but also reduces the discomfort by venting air back into the bottle, 
rather than into the baby's tummy through two high performing valves.

The new ergonomic shaped bottles provides 
extra comfort,easy hold and better grip for baby's tiny hands.
And if you ask me,
I think they looked kinda Sexy too with all the curves in the right places!

Since the event was held on a Thursday.
I only brought James along.
Keeping in mind that Hiroshi and Sophia 
would still need to wake up early for school the day after.

The wonderful spread that was served up.

I am in love with the baby cutleries too!
And just for the records, 
I am looking for product sponsorship for baby weaning products.
Please drop us a email if you are keen to work together.

I don't take much desserts.
But I simply love how they look!
Instantly perks the soul up!

Aren't they Adorable?!?!?
 

It was getting late and I obviously missed my 2 gems at home.
So after, filling the tummy, I made a mad dash home.

Transportation were arranged for home bound.
Truly appreciated.
I feel like a Singapore Mom Blogger treated in Diva Style!

I came home to see both kids still wide awake 
waiting in anticipation for me to get home.

Philips Avent parting gift to us was this adorable bear by the name of Avery.

Sophia loves it to bits.
The only problem was, 
she renamed him.
Now his name is Philips.
and he joins the array of stuffed toys 
which occupied half of Sophia's queen size bed!

Thank you for the invitation.
We certainly enjoyed ourselves!

We are looking forward to review
the Comfort Manual Breast Pump & Natural Feeding bottles too!
(keep a look out for it)

Sponsored Product Review: Word Winder

Word Winder;
The game of winding words.

Hiroshi is excited!!

16 double sided word boards 
with 3 set of word winder chips
does spell a trillion possible combination of fun 
in one single board game!

The mechanics of the games were really simple.
Shuffle the word cards and arrange them into a 4 by 4 grid.
Lay a continuous line of winding words with your colored chips.
Outrace your opponent.
Play offensive by extending your own line,
Play defensive by blocking your opponents' line.
The FIRST to get from side to side or top to bottom wins the game!

It does looks like some really exciting board game.
Afterall,we aren't expecting anything less from David L. Hoyt;
the world's most syndicated daily puzzle and word game creator.

In order to properly review this board game,
I've sent Word Winder to the most stringent reviewers in town.

Hiroshi with his favorite colored word winder chip.
He likes RED because Ferrari is RED too!!

After 30mins of intensive face-off,
the blue team did emerge as winners!

The Victorious Blue Team!

 Our Verdict:
On the overall,
we love this game.
The game was simple enough for a family to enjoy together.
But yet,
induces a child's hunger for learning new words.

My one and only grouse would be
I hope the word cards could be made out of plastic instead of cardboard.
Having indentation on every letter would be a bonus!
That would solve our problem of sliding word winder chips
when someone accidentally kicks the table.

Word Winder is available at Toys R’Us and major departmental stores.
It retails for SGD$29.90.

P/S: Many thanks to our neighbor; Sneha & Saurav
in pitting our mental wits on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

Sponsored Product Review: Crafting Fun Time in a Box | Lollibox

Ever since the postman delivered Lollibox to our door steps, 
the kids have been bugging me to open it. 
I like the personal touch of having the box addressed to the kids. 
 

We've gotten the Moon & Stars Themed Lollibox.

There are 4 major components in the box.
Create, Discover, Enrich & Award.
Each component is neatly packed & labeled.

CREATE
My Glowing Moon
(paper-mache moon)
I love just how convenient it is, 
just open up the box and get straight to activities.
No more goggling, hours of preparations 
or even fumbling around looking for different craft materials. 

Sophia reading out instructions.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy, 
lots of pictorial instructions to guide them along!

Boys will be Boys!
Hiroshi having fun tearing up paper for the project.

Pasting paper soaked with diluted glue onto balloon

Our glowing moon with a tinge of our own personal touch.

DISCOVER
Moon & Star Gazing
Discover and Observe 
the Moon Phases and Stars Constellations 
with your own Telescope!

 Delighted Sophia checking Mr Moon out!

A journal was also provided to record
the different moon phases over a period of 10 days.

Get ready to be bombarded with plenty of questions!

ENRICH
We pretended to be space explorers traveling to the moon.
Did our own rendition of Micheal Jackson's Moonwalk on our imaginary moon.
And send postcards through milky way mail services
back to friends and relatives
telling them how awesome the trip was!!

AWARD
What an achievement!

Being reasonably priced at $24.90,
it has provided me & the kids hours of fun;
 bonding over crafts 
and learning new things.
