I've just given birth and had to mix feed so I bought some feeding bottles before and after my baby's delivery. I chanced upon Breastflow bottles by The First Years. It really looked unique and amazing. It features a two-piece nipple that is said to replicate mom's breast. So instead of buying a trusted brand like Avent or Chicco, which I used for my first baby, I ended up buying 8 breastflow bottles. In the first few days, it worked wonders. My baby got a hang of it and she was able to mix feed quite well. But after the second week, some of the bottles already leaked. After a month all 8 bottles were leaking so much that half the milk went down the drain. My mom who was baby sitting for me was really frustrated she asked my to just throw away those Breastflow bottles. But I was feeling a bit guilty about having to spend for the bottles that I decided to use them as storage bottles for my expressed milk. Then I discovered that it wasnt even good enough as a storage bottles because it really leaks out even when you close the lid really tight. Hay, that's why I decided not to use them for that purpose again. Now I only use the 8 bottles as cool down bottles because at least they're BPA free. I bought Avent BPA-free bottles instead and I discovered how amazing they really are. My mom also loves them. So take it from me my dear mom friends, never, ever buy Breastflow bottles, unless you want to throw money down the drain.
It's about a week after our trip to Tokyo Japan and though I promised myself and my husband that I will be chronicling our trip the day after, I ultimately forgave myself (and I'm sure hubby does too) for not fulfilling that promise. The sheer exhaustion from our travels would be enough excuse let alone the insurmountable stress of handling 3 small kids tagging along this trip. But i only have 3 words to describe our struggles - ALL WORTH IT! So how do I begin to retell this note worthy travel? Let me start with... Day 1: We slept in our studio condo unit in Pasig the night before. Since we had a lot and I mean a loooot of bags to bring (family of 5), my husband ditched the original plan of commuting to the condo from our house in Antipolo. Instead, he had to go back and park our car in Antipolo at about 9pm. He was able to go back to the condo at around 11pm. By then I have successfully packed all 4 big bags and 5 small bag...
