Swaddling a NewBorn Baby
I remember swaddling Josiah for not many days, and when visitors came to visit in his first month, many asked why I just left him ‘open’ like that as he would startle and stir from sleep so easily. With Jordan, I decided I was going to swaddle from birth, however I needed a really easy to use and good swaddle. With Josiah, I gave up swaddling because I was using the Bumblebee velcro wrap type and it was too thick after wrapping, (3 layers) and Josiah broke free so easily. It was such a hassle to rewrap dozens of times a night. So this time, I came upon the Woombie.…

Jordan at 2 Months
A couple of days ago, I came back to work. So quickly, 2 months had passed and it so happened to be Jordan’s 2 month checkup as well. Jordan is now 6.3kg, 3 kg heavier than his birth weight and stood at 58cm. At 2 months, Jordan still sleeps a lot.

Halal Food Ask to Add Pork
I was just shopping at Giant when I saw this interesting product. I took it down, coz it says Kueh Chap. Kueh Chap in my knowledge in Sarawak is a kind of noodle cooked with lots of pork parts. Upon checking the box I noticed that it is a Halal Product, supposedly approved by the Islamic Committee Office of Thailand. Then I read the instructions in poor English and lots of typo and noticed that it advised to ‘add pork!’ How inappropriate of a Halal product! Granted, the Kueh Chap is just noodles, but hhm, still, I’d say be careful to read labels if you’re Muslim.
