Differences Between First and Second Pregnancy
I thought that my second pregnancy is gonna be the same as the first but I was completely wrong. Now that I’m in my third trimester, I realized just how different pregnancies can be! Here are a few differences I’ve noticed between a first and second pregnancy :- 1. Belly Showing First pregnancy: My baby bump only started to show when I was 5 months plus. Second pregnancy: I was only 16 weeks along with the 2nd and it...
A Dad’s Role in Breastfeeding Journey
Before Aiden was born, The Wifey and I did a lot of reading about breastfeeding and the benefits of breastfeeding to both mother and baby. We thought that breastfeeding would come naturally and it should be easy but it wasn’t really that easy. It was quite challenging at first but once we get the hang of it, it’s a wonderful experience – challenging but wonderful. It’s worth the effort to overcome the hurdles...
Aiden’s first birthday
Aiden celebrated his very first birthday last Sunday. I can’t believe how fast time went by. Besides celebrating Aiden’s birthday, we are also celebrating our first year of parenthood! Being a parent is real tough job. But it’s also a wonderful and rewarding experience. If you can survive parenthood, everything else pales in comparison. So I was telling The Wifey that since we made it through the first year of...
Starting Aiden on Solid Foods
The Wifey and I agreed that it’s best to wait until Aiden is six months before introducing him to solid food. Meanwhile there are people asking, “Why wait until 6 months? He’s all ready for solids.” We strictly say no and wait coz we believe that milk provides all the nutrition a baby needs up to 6 months of age. When Aiden turned 6 months, we embark on the solid food adventure. To be honest, The Wifey and I...

My Favorite Baby Items
It’s pretty common for first-time parents to buy everything and anything that a baby could ever need only to find out later that some of the things are unnecessary. When I was pregnant with Aiden, I started shopping for baby stuffs in my second trimester and I sure had lots of fun shopping for baby things 🙂 However, when everything looks pretty and cute, it’s very easy to get carried away and buy everything on the shelves...
ERGOBaby Original Carrier review
Before Aiden was born, I’ve never given much thought to baby carriers coz I thought stroller would be sufficient. Further, I can’t imagine carrying my baby for long hours coz my back will be super sore then. However, Aiden refused to ride in his stroller and wants to be carried all the time :/ I figured that’s coz babies love to be close to his mommy but then it’s hard for me especially when I wanna get some...
Aiden’s Birth Story
Time flies. It feels like just yesterday we brought Aiden back from the hospital but now he’s 3 months old. I’ve been wanting to write his birth story but haven’t had the time to do so as I’ve been caught up with work and adjusting to my new role as a father. Now, I finally have the time to I’m writing this now, he’s smiling and cooing in his crib. It started on Monday, 27 October 2014 when The...
