A moisturising balm for the harsh winds of winter

It’s coming to the end of the year and I am sure there are loads of parents gearing up for their year-end holidays..and some even winter holidays! (I introduced snow to the boys, and sadly they are not very interested in it! Gaah)

Now, if you are heading up north with the kiddies, then Buds’ Frost Defense Balm is the thing for you! As an adult, you would have experienced the biting wind, and the after effects of it: dry skin, chafed cheeks, even cold sores. Yikes! The little ones definitely need something more moisturising than your standard moisturisers for skin that will be exposed to the winds.

The balm is suffused with jojoba oil, sunflower oil and shea butter, creating a rich and moisturising barrier on exposed skin during the winter months. The inca inchi further augments the emollient actions of this protective balm. Inca inchi is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which is beneficial for the skin.

Another bonus is that it works well as a lip balm, and perfectly safe for babies!

Pouch Feeding

Feeding on the go, or the kids just needed a quick snack along the way?

Food pouches can come in handy for this purpose. However, parents may shun away from food pouches primarily for two reasons, they wonder about the nutrition intake, and the mess that can potentially come with it. We are not nutritionists, so we will not discuss about what’s in the pouch. What we do want to share are the options out there to help parents reduce the mess when introducing pouches to their kids. So lets talk about mess.

What caused the mess?

We know that at that young age, the kid’s fine motor control is not yet fully developed and sometimes, they may squeeze too hard on the pouch, and EVERYTHING comes out. So, as parents, we take over the role of feeding them by carefully squirting the content on a spoon and feed them with the spoon. Well, that’s fine, but not if you are feeding on the go or if you are driving. Also, it can be a challenge to squeeze the food on the pouch without accidentally squeezing too much!

To deal with this partially, companies have designed pouch spoons! Spoons that fit on top of the pouch and all you have to do is to squeeze the pouch and the content goes straight onto the spoon. In the market, there are a few options: Squooshi, Sinchies, Munchkin, and Vitalbaby have produced their own pouch spoons. You may have seen some of them in departmental stores or parents specialty shops in Singapore.

While pouch spoons overcome the the problem of having to squeeze the food onto a separate feeding spoon, it does not promote independent feeding or help to reduce the mess with accidental squeeze. To promote independent feeding and to deal with the accidental squeeze, ChooMee has developed the Sip’n soft top.

It has a flow control feature to prevent spills so the parents would no longer have to feed, which helps to promote independent feeding. Furthermore, it is made of soft silicon and fully covers the hard plastic spout of the food pouch. No more worry about the kid chewing on the plastic and cutting their gums or lips!

Super Soothing Rescue Lotion vs Skin Allergic Reaction

Kiddo #2 had a skin allergic reaction to a towel washed in regular laundry detergent and broke out in a rash.

We used Buds Super Soothing Rescue Lotion throughout the day and after his bath. The ‘after’ photos were taken 4 days later! The Super Soothing Rescue lotion works with a prebiotic that helps to protect the skin and yet treat it!

a life hack, protects those pearlies, no mess!

When we first got our hands on these Sip’ns, we definitely couldn’t believe how much it would change our lives, especially when we were using pouches so frequently for the boys. Even more so when I had to wake up bleary eyed at 3am in the morning to give kiddo a pouch cos he was starving, no thanks to jet lag.

Pop Sip’n on and hand it to him. I was staring dazedly at him and he was happily swinging his legs on the chair, nomming on his pouch. Sip’n FTW! So we decided to hand out some Sip’ns to moms in Singapore to find out what they thought about these Sip’ns! Here is what they have to say.

I am relieved to see that they are super soft and squishy, and are designed to protect our little ones’ gums. The ChooMee Sip’n has quickly became a cannot-live-without-it item as it leaves me (and my helper) hands free to fix our own meals while the twins eat.

Mummy is very happy with it because so far, we’ve had 100% no spill! I also don’t worry about her biting on the plastic spout of the fruit pouch and accidentally ingesting plastic anymore!! In all honesty, I wish I’d known about this product sooner. It would have saved me a lot of worry and cleaning up

Mummy Serynn
Damien actually let go of the food pouch and started slamming his hands on it!!! The husband and I were shocked and we stopped everything we were doing to rush towards him (it’s an automatic response from parents lah), but… there was no mess, nothing. The mash didn’t squirt out at all. OMG. So nifty. Goodbye spills and squirts.

Seriously, the Sip’Ns speak for themselves in how they make everyone’s life waaay more convenient. I’m not kidding! I know we definitely love ours! Spend less time cleaning and worrying, spend more time with the kids having fun.

That’s how we do it at Big Little Me. =)

Avocado Smoothie Recipe

All you need for a simple smoothie to cool down on a hot day! Fill up a Sili Squeeze reusable pouch for kiddo for a mess-free snack (mess free for mom too! I mean it stands on its own & has a wide opening to spoon/pour smoothies in!)

1 cup of fruit juice
3-4 tbsp of plain yoghurt
2 avocado
2 very ripe pears

Makes 3 adult serves.

I used a blend of apple (red & green), oranges and carrots for the fruit juice. Yoghurt contains awesome loads of calcium and probiotics that are good for the digestive tract. Avocado contains some good fats & folate for brain development, makes your smoothie extra creamy! I threw in pears to give the smoothie some texture.

Blend & enjoy! (I freeze any extras for another day)
