SHOPPING FOR LIL ONE

After couple days of browsing Mothercare and Ikea catalogues and surveying the price-wise through their online websites, i'd made my personal checklist by using Mothercare's checklist as a guide before went out shopping. :)

Can you see the difference btw the left and the right? Yes, yg kanan tu smpi lunyai sy kejekan. So bila pergi Mothercare and Ikea, ambil  lagi catalogue baru sesuka hati. :D

My Pregnancy Diary from Bounty. I lurve it fr the front cover til the back cover! Really useful!

The Mothercare Checklist which is attached at the back cover of its catalogue and my checklist review on the A4 paper underneath the catalogue. ;)

Basically, not all things in Mothercare's checklist i need to buy bcoz some of them i already had/bought fr Malaysia like maternity and nursing bras..like a nightgown i prefer to wear wutever i got in my wardrobe..takkan la nak beli semata-mata nak kene pakai kt maternity/labour ward..Nightgown pakai utk hubby je la kn..;p

Ok back to the business..after comparing the price-wise not only btw Mothercare and Ikea, Tesco/Asda is also considered in. So that's why the a4 paper was there, i had categorized which things are worth it to be bought at Mothercare, Ikea or Tesco/Asda or even Car boot sales. The reason being of course, i dont want to be over budget..kene ikut budget hubby. :D

Thus, yesterday off we went shopping at the Lakeside shopping center. Hubby was kinda like to go there again, after all Ikea Lakeside sale has more to be offered than sale at Ikea's store around London. Mak buyung dah surf dulu Ikea mana yang sales dia lebih sesuai untuk kami ni. hihihi..

But before shopping at Ikea, we went to Mothercare first. dont worry bcoz i already planned what things which worth it to buy there right..Checklist memang penting, kan? Mak buyung stay up wat checklist, surfing and browsing aritu..Siap tunggu the Eins tidur dulu, sebab selagi diorang tak tidur, selagi tu lar tak boleh nak fokus. ;p

See, 3 plastic bags only and all were in great discount! Total paid was only 80pounds. Macam 80 ringgit je, kan? Hua3. TapikKalau kali duit Msia betul2 huhu..T_T Tapi sbg penyedap hati still brg2 ni murah lagi dpd beli kt Msia. ;)

3 boxes behind are the important things for me and lil one. Yang depan pun penting juga, alang2 dah ada discount baik punye kan...sambar je la serba sedikit. hihi. Geram hokey!!

The cheapest, Avent Manual Breast Pump with via storage system! Inspired by nature. Soft massage cushions stimulate natural let-down, just like baby. Gentle vacuum mimics baby's sucling for steady milk flow. It includes 5x pre-sterilised 180ml/6oz VIA cup, 5x VIA lid, 2x Teat Travel Pack, 2x VIA Adaptor and 1x A Helpful Guide to Brestfeeding. 

Janji ada kan, yang penting misi untuk BF kali ini berjaya lagi! Amin. I hope i could fully breastfeeding Lil One at least until 2 years ++. My previous achievement: Zahin BF smpi umur 2 thn setengah, Iris BF smpi umur 1 thn 10 bulan.  Alhamdulillah!

Honestly, this is the first time i buy a branded breastpump. Although i've breastfed the Eins before..i've never thot of buying one. Reason being bcoz i was full-timed housewife so i could breastfeed both of them at their demand anytime, anyplace which i really did! Never really try of BM Storing.

Sekejap aje storing masa awal2 bsalinkan Iris dulu, itupun sbb nak keje and pakai breast pump cap ayam aje..(i was a 6-months contract basis teacher) but when the storing mission fails, i stopped. Fail sebab babysitter tak membantu..babysitter dah berumur ni susah sikit bab susu ibu ni, dia prefer FM aje. And sy pun kurang ilmu juga bab2 BM storing ni. :(

I also bought this. Avent Electric Steriliser. Fast and easy to use. One touch operation. It includes: 1x 125ml/4oz Avent Feeding Bottle with newborn teat, a measuring jug, bottle brush and tongs.  

3 Phillip Avent BPA Free Feeding Bottles. 4oz/125ml. Clinically proven to help settle your baby and reduce colic. the Eins pun mmg guna Avent bottles since they born, trainee cup pun pakai Avent so memang dipercayai 100%. I like Avent! Hihi.

Then we surveyed at the other children boutiques at The Lakeside Shopping Center but bought nothing! Agak kecewa di situ sebab banyak2 boutique kat situ, hanya beberapa aje boutique baby dalam mall tu. Pastu barang yang dicari2 tiada pula. so off we went to Ikea Lakeside. FYI, walaupun Ikea Lakeside tapi lokasinya bukan dalam The Lakeside Shopping Center ye...Ikea kt The Lakeside Retail Park..Wee, yg bestnya kt Retail Park ni lagi heaven, selain Ikea ada boutique Gap besar gila, Next, MotherCare, just to name a few..nanti nak datang lagi la. haha. Dasar betul...;p

Yeay dah beli baby cot. Sniglar cot Ikea..also the cheapest among other cots there. We bought the cheapest Vyssa Slummer mattress too. Kt sini tilam mahal, be it kids or adults mattress..huhu..Credit to my hubby yg dah siap2 pasangkn cot ni pagi tadi..TQ laling! :x

Ikea Gullunge changing mat, Vitaminer baby sleeping bag and Barnslig patterned muslin squares (kain lampin). Sume beli yg plg murah..yg plg murah kt Mothercare pun still mahal lagi, tu yang beli kt Ikea tu..hihi..Mcm baby bath tub nak tgk kt Tesco dulu..;)

Itu je la brg lil one's yang beli kt Ikea smlm. brg2 lain ada beli tapi brg2 rumah..mcm side table Lack, tu tgh sales so grab lagi 2..tp kaler merah, yang kaler putih tade discount, hihi hampes..

Hmm beli cot untuk lil One, Lil Iris yg rasmikan dulu. hihi. Bangun2 tidur tengok baby cot dah siap pasang, apalagi dia pun nk try tidur la dlm tuh. Along Zahin pun baru bgn tidur, rambut kusut masai lg. Dah mcm hantu Ju-on plak umi tgk dlm pic ni..hehehe...

Easy peasy roti john. Memang yummy! TQ for sharing the recipe, Nadine! hihi. 4 bun sy buat, sbg side dishes pergi shopping smlm. 1 of the bun sy tak letak sos and mayonaise utk the Eins. Main course buat nasi tomato and ayam masak merah. Makan dlm kereta. patu kt sana beli french fries Mc D lg. hihi..

Ini plak lunch for today, kuey tiaw Belasah namanya. Hihi..batuk2, sakit tekak ni makan apapun tak berasa..T_T tapi hubby kata sedap! So lega tengok hubby and the Eins makan bertambah2 td. hihi. aih, bilalah nak baik batuk ni...tak pe la mudah2an terampun dosa2. Amin.

Ok hopefully all of you had a bliss weekend! Wassalam.
