hey moms and dads!


For this post today, i’m going to share the thing I regret buying for my baby and things that I don’t regret buying for BerryMochi. By saying regret I really mean “not useful, or I don’t recommend you guys to buy it". And by saying I don’t regret means “highly recommended, if you thing it is useful to you/your baby too please do get one” and I've added Wishes as well.. Things that we wish to buy (if we had extra budget) or nak beli tapi dah terlepas..


But disclaimer: this is based on personal preferences (mine and BerryMochi) .. ntah2 BerryMochi 2.0 tak mcm ni pon nnt.. haha.. okay focus.. let's get to it!

WARNING!!! This gonna be a loooooooonnggg post.. sediakan popcorn :)


BEDROOM

LOVES



STUVA Ikea Changing Table

OMG this is a LIFE SAVER especially utk makmak like myself yang xnk poopoo kena merata2 hahaha.. I chose this because:

1. wider table sebab banyak case baby jatuh dari changing table bila dah pandai pusing. so.. dengan harapan bila besar macam ni jatuh pun golek2 atas table ni jugak.. Now BerryMochi is 1yo, but we're still using this changing table and she knows and behave atas table bila tukar diaper/pakai baju lepas mandi (of course not all the time.. kita pon ikut mood jugak.

2. sebab kononnya can use it as it grows with the baby lah gittew..




SKOTSAM Ikea Changing Mat

Incase kalau budget ketat sikit masa tu boleh je beli ni.. macam pelampung dia kembung keliling tu.. so kalau baby ter shishi pon x mengalir keluar kena lantai/katil


LEKA Ikea Baby Gym

This is just a toy.. you can buy any brand but this is very important to have if you are using changing table too.. selain baby boleh main while kita makeup kan dia.. this thing act as seat belt to the baby.. Kalau baby mengiring kena sekat kat pinggang. so.. abort mission guling2!!


Baby cot mobile

BerryMochi suka sangat tengok benda ni masa baby.. sampai sekarang.. menari2 dengar music.


UV Sterilizer

I'm using Haenim UV sterilizer at my home.. What i love abt having UV sterilizer is you can basically put anything inside it to sterilize AND DRY!! toys, bottles, even handphones.. What i can hint you is.... mouthing phase memang EVERYDAY kena sterilize/cuci toys.. semua masuk mulut.. hadoii


But for those who's on budget boleh try usha yg ni.. murah sikit but still have the same functions.. sterilize n dry.. Coby Mini UV Sterilizer.



Aguard Korean Bumper Bed

Memang dari pregnant lagi ngidam sangat nk beli ni.. tapi tak beli2 smpai lah masuk hospital dah terus order.. mintak dia sampai cepat sebab baby dah nk keluar hahahhaa.. masa tu dah lah nak CNY tak silap.. so atas belas kasihan org tu hantar kan awal.. What I love so much abt this is, ni memang the safest play area utk BerryMochi main and for me, i want to teach her to be independent (byk tgk cite TROS tgk anak2 diorg pakai.. bila dah bangun keluar bilik sendiri cari makpak dia) so i wish to do the same to her.. and mmg one of our best investment.


Joie Serina Swivel Swing

Swing ni BerryMochi dapat hadiah turun temurun dari Abang Yusuf dia.. She used this since she was small baru lahir sampai lah sekarang utk day nap.. memang kalau tido sini dia akan tidur lama.. Ada one time she was sooo mochi, we couldnt buckle her haha.. tapi Alhamdulillah sekarang dah kurus dah muat balik.. The best thing is they use 5 points seatbelt.. selalunya swing pakai 3 points so bila 5 ni lagi secured lah.. Insya Allah x jatuh terguliks..

REGRETS


SUNDVIK Ikea Baby Cot

Again I bought this cot sbb konon nya it grows with the baby. But why I regret buying this is because pagar dia on the side x boleh turun kan. My baby is 3.3kg at birth then 5.5kg 1 bulan.. umur 2 bulan 6.6kg.. my body cant cope with her weight. I have backache all the time especially during night feeding.. sebabkan pagar x boleh turun i cant carry her while sitting on my bed. So, kena bangun.... tunduk... angkat 6.6kg dumbbell comel tu.. I GAVE UP!! sila tidur sekali atas katil.. sekarang dah x boleh tido tak bau tiak mommy :(


Canopy

Canopy ni cantik, boleh tangkap insta-worthy pics tapi it collects dust and bila baby dah besar sikit pandai tarik2 takut jatuh kat dia

WISHES


Diaper bin

trust me!! bila anak dah makan you really needdddddd this!!!! mommy tak sanggup dah nk pengsan byk kali kena buang tong sampah busuk 😂😂nk beli sekarang pon dah terlambat.

BATH AND POTTY

LOVES


SkipHop Bath Tub

THIS!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! she really grows up with this cute little tub till now still using it.. and i think this really worth the money.


Ikea towel

The towel quality is good.. senang kering and besar size.. n bila hooded senang nak kering kan rambut baby..


Potty Seat

we started introduce BerryMochi to potty when she was 10months kot.. Because dah tak larat nk cuci pampers busuk 😂.. so everytime she hints us she's going for number 2 we put her on her seat..


REGRETS


Squirting bath toys

This is a big NO NO.. kalau pakai untuk dry sahaja boleh.. but once dah masuk air nanti dalam tu ada kulat yang membahayakan baby n orang lain


WISHES


Yookidoo Bath Toys


FEEDING AND COOKING TOOLS

LOVES


Joie Mimzy Snacker High Chair

Mula2 beli ni masa bulan puasa tahun lepas 2020.. BerryMochi was 4 months old.. Both of us kesian sangat bila bukak puasa BerryMochi duduk atas lantai atas bouncer je.. Tengok Mommy Walid makan.. So we decided to buy her a high chair yang boleh baring.. She loves it.. The table is big.. bukan boleh makan je.. boleh main sekali atas meja ni



Beaba babycook

i use this EVERYDAY since she started eating..

CLICK HERE for recipes using Beaba babycook! (will update later)


Silicon baby plate (ange monkey plate)

i'm not into wood pinggan mangkuk sangat because: 1. susah sikit jaga.. makan kunyit nnt kuning ke apa

2. jatuh nnt mak yang nangis

3. paranoid dengan mold sbb wood lagi senang kena mold dari plastic/silicon

but smua tu preference sendiri.. i prefer this than that.. and for silicon plate my fav is from ange.. sebab plate dia ada tutup.. so bila nk bawak keluar ke lunch ke dinner ke.. masak letak atas tu.. tutup then hangkut je


Richell AQ Training Mug

MochiBerry started using this cup since she was 4 months old. But that time minum sikiiitt je just untuk main2/introduce.. bukan untuk kenyang/hilang dahaga.. because baby dont need water sampai start makan or 6mo.. This cup will introduce your baby to straw and sucking skill.


Mothercare baby fork and spoon

Kalau bukak MochiBerry punya laci sudu garfu memang paling banyak sekali.. Mommy suka beli macam2 jenis but i think the best and selalu pakai is Mothercare's brand..


Starbucks silicon reusable straw

MochiBerry is very comfortable drinking using straw (including adults straw) Mommy n Walid kat rumah mmg pakai tumbler starbucks kat rumah.. sebab besar puas sikit minum.. ada baby asyik ambik botol kitorang and minum sendiri.. tapi straw dia jenis keras.. so we bought silicon straw from starbucks sebab senang sangat basuh!! tak payah guna berus and so soft (tak tertusuk tekak baby)

REGRETS


Any food container with corners

Susah sangat nk cuci corner kecik2 tu.. thats all..


Richell AQ Clear Straw Bottle Mug

For this bottle only (because im not sure of other models) ada part dia yang x boleh/susah nak cuci.. so ada hitam n mold kat situ (me n my anti mold again.. i know.. paranoid betul byk sangat tengok cerita Dr. House).. tu je lah.. mcm x bersih x sampai hati nk bagi anak minum..

WISHES


Cooking tools yang buat makanan comel2 such as Takoyaki pan.. mini waffle maker.. breadmaker.. bento tools..

TOYS AND PLAYAREA

LOVES


Foldable Playmat

I love this mat sebab boleh lipat kemas n nak pergi travel (hotel yang carpet x sesuai utk baby ke.. balik kampung ke) boleh bawak dalam bag dia.. CLICK HERE


Rattle Sets

BerryMochi loves to play this till now.. worth buy! CLICK HERE


Play Table

Mula2 nak beli IKEA punya meja.. but ada satu account on instagram @aybites share anak dia ada meja ni macam best jugak.. because meja ni ada banyak usage:

  1. table

  2. lego table

  3. sensory play/water play table

  4. storage

instead of meja IKEA just meja n kerusi je :) this is the shopee link >> CLICK HERE


Ikea MULA Building Beakers

Worth buy because boleh stack and boleh bawak main masa mandi sekali 😬😬


Piano kicking toy

This will keep her busy! Mommy boleh rehat jap..

REGRETS

- urat putus pulak tak ingat.. will update here soon


WISHES

OMG SO MANY THINGS THAT I WAAANNTT!! kita tepek gambar n link je lah ye.. kot kot lah husband ke bestfriend ke baca kan.. nk kasi hadiah buat2 seprais hohohohoo

TRAVELS AND CAR

LOVES


Joie Pact Stroller + iGemm Carrier + Base

This part is my husband's part.. Stroller i solely let him decide sbb dia yang akan bukak tutup angkat letak kat kereta ke apa smua kan.. mommy malas.. hahahha.. so from all the range of strollers we chose this..

I wanted to get carrier for newborn phase but yet boleh pakai lama as carseat so we decided to add on base to the carrier as carseat.. tapi sebenar nya boleh pakai seatbelt.. cuma masa NB everytime nk keluar masuk kereta nk angkat carrier takkan nk bukak pasang carseat tu je kan.. so kita beli base sekali.. letak je terus click click.. onzz. now BerryMochi is 1yo still muat dalam carrier tu.. ok lah kan hehe


Baby Rear View Mirror

For me this is a MUST HAVE item kalau baby naik carseat backfacing.. which smua newborn up to 3yo kena backfacing ok!! (ikut anak actually but im trying to be strict kononnya haha).. Masa baby kecik sambil drive boleh lah intai2 anak sembang2.. bila dah besar ni dia sembang ngn diri dia sendiri kat cermin tu... BerryMochi pulak mmg suka tgk cermin.. dia ckp dia comel hahahahhahahahaha bukan perangai mommy tu... so memang best ada ni.. to buy>>>> CLICK HERE


Diaper bag with Starbucks drink holder (baby bottle holder 🤪)

untuk breastfeeding baby.. salah satu yg bestnya keluar x payah bawak macam2 barang.. so this bag is enough utk masukkan diapers, cream, wipes, nursing cover, mainan, baju spare.. siapa yg kenal mommy ni mmg mkan minum x benti.. since BerryMochi x pakai botol susu so tempat air tu mmg mommy lah yg conquer


REGRETS

emmm PKP kan.. x keluar rmh


WISHES

Joie Spin 360

Now we are using Joie Tilt Carseat (kereta walid) and iGemm Carrier + base (kereta mommy) tapi harap harap harap sangat walid baca ni.. kita nk upgrade to Joie Spin 360 lahh.. hehe.. sebab it can spin!! duhh.. x payah sakit2 tgn nk angkat BerryMochi masuk keluar carseat dah.. pusing je hahahah.. can lah~
