feeding bottles

Ok, call me anxious and all but I am really going crazy and gaga over all these BPA issues that's been circulating the net for months now. A mommy friend of me and hubby sent us a post few weeks back which resulted to me changing my feeding bottle preference from one brand to another. As parents, Jp and I would want what's best for our kids of course.

Prior to all the BPA issues, we already ordered Avent feeding bottles from a relative in the US. We've heard so many good reviews and feedback from close family and friends who used these for their babies and kiddos - so it was really frustrating to hear negative notes about Avent containing Bisphenol A - in their clear bottles. We went to check Baby and Co. for their BPA free Avent bottles (honey-colored) but the price is outrageous!



I had to look for other options- feeding bottle that is cheaper but not compromising b. boy's safety and health of course. I learned about Tommee Tippee BPA- free bottles. I like their Closer to Nature set. Very very clean and the teat designed to mimic the natural flex and feel of a mum's breast. This is perfect for mommies like me who will be breastfeeding and bottle feed at the same time. The price here in Manila is actually cheaper than Avent. A set of three in SM's Baby section is around Php1300 (you get one bottle free as part of their promotion/ being offered only while supplies lasts). Look below, isn't this chubby bottle cute!?? :) But I am a still bit hesitant to get this brand as well because I don't know anyone who've tried using it.


Last among my top picks is Gerber's Gentle Flow feeding bottles. I found a mompreneur on-line who sells a set of three for only Php800. Good deal right?! But I am still having the price checked in the US though- for comparison. I might end up with these bottles already. It's BPA-free and a lot more cheaper than my two other choices. I ws told that these bottles are even better than Avent. I love the colors too! :) very baby and so dainty! :P

happy happy birthday to our everdearest mama! =) we had simple dinner at home last night. mama prepared home made lumpiang ubod (yummy!). we had pasta and bbq also. for dessert, I made kiwi float (hubby's request) and mango float (kyle's request and favorite). my mother in law ordered this yummy dayap chiffon cake from the chocolate kiss cafe . something new to add to our list of favorites =) i just realized now that we had more desserts last night than the main course! teehee!

it was Philippine Independence Day holiday in Manila last Friday. Hubby and I treated kuya :). Last hurrah before the schoolyear starts! :) We got him his PS3 game (sorry I forgot the cd's title) from Blitz and his animated TRANSFORMER robot from Toy Kingdom. We had lunch at our favorite Rack's (where else?!!) before heading home for our afternoon siesta :)

happy days! :)

baby shower at Mr Kurosawa

loving cousin in laws prepared a baby shower for me last June 6 at Mr Kurosawa (a funky Jap-resto at the new Eastwood Mall - with the likes of John & Yoko in Greenbelt 5). We had so much fun and girl bonding. I love that it's quiet and very intimate.


I got most of what I don't have yet :) Receiving blankets and newborn side-snap shirts from ate ina, adorable infant socks from sassy, goat's milk baby lotion and soaps from kara, newborn diapers from nina and very useful baby bouncers from ria & my sister in law pebbles.(yup! theye got the same gifts for b. boy) we had to have ria's gift replaced the day after because it would be impractical to have two bouncers for baby. we bought other necessities instead. newborn avent feeding bottles, diaper gauze and frog suits. super exciting! can't wait for b. boy to arrive.



taken eastwood mall after the baby shower. met up with the husbands and we went malling while the kids played at timezone. great family bonding for everyone! :)

(l-r) nina.ina.ria.preggy tin.kara.sassy. love you all! :)

Along Came Baby

i hope we can find time to go and visit this baby bazaar on Sunday at The Fort. I'd love to see cute stuffs for b. boy there :) it'll be an awesome bonding for me and the two boys if ever...
