Khy-wrap Tutorial : Putting Your Baby In (Newborn Hug Hold)

Now dah tau how to tie the wrap kan? 

 Now its time to put in the baby. In this tutorial i'll teach how to put in baby in Newborn Hug hold (0-3months) & the hug hold (3mo onwards or when ur baby da suka menendang2 & doing cycling motion bile kite biar sengsorang main atas katil) 

Start with a baby in ur hands (duh~!)

My Khayra is 2 months & is 4.5 kgs by now.

In the newborn hug hold, 

position baby on the OPPOSITE shoulder from the  panel CLOSEST to ur body (panel 1) then

take the  & put BOTH baby's legs in froggy (bersila) position into the panel's pocket.

 Do not worry pasal kaki terlipat ke ape ke cz mmg cmtu pon position dier dlm rahim kite dulu.

Then pull panel 1 across baby's bottom for support (as shown), remmber to only pull the outer layer (kan dah lipat lengthwise awal2 tu kan? So ni amik outer layer je, jgn pull both layers )

Then take the other panel (panel 2) on the other shoulder & pull across baby's buttocks. again, only pull outer layer.

Aferwards pull the front panel (panel 3) upwards all the way to below baby's neck. And again, only pull outer layer. Ni kne godek2 sket cz kite tak nmpak. hoho.

If baby leher lom kuat or baby falls asleep, reposition & tuck baby's head beneath any one of the shoulder panels (ikut kesesuaian) for head support.

Ni Khayra yang curious sebok nak tgk luar masa dia berjaga. huhu.

Product Review: Snugg Baby Diaper Clucth vs The First Years Deluxe Fold & Go Diapering Kit

Reviews made based on my unbiased personal experience on using these items for at least a week each.

Items are bought myself so no sogokan or insentive yang I dapat,ye..sekadar berkongsi pengalaman.

Since jadik mommy nih ade2 je brg2 yang menggatal nak beli kekdg just for the fun of it. Tapi to me these 2 items can be ur total lifesaver.

Instead of bulky diaper bags, these serves as ur hip & trendy smaller counterpart. appropriately sized, they are here to stay . However as usual lah ade pros & cons each brand nih.

Snugg Baby is proudly a Malaysian brand catering trendy mamas & advocating natural parenting.

(priced at RM 50 + RM6 shipping)

However I bought mine at their reseller here

 (she is my hi-skool junior & is really prompt on answering ur doubts whatnots.)

The First Years is an all American brand with a wide range of products including my fav Breastflow bottles & many others - feeding, medicare, bathtime & potty training, u get me,kan..

(priced at RM 49.90 at a sale in Toys R'Us - usual price RM 59.90)

As u can see from the pic below, compared to a 5 Oz Autumns storage bottle, clearly the size of Snugg is a bit longer & wider as compared to TFY however it is flatter.

(ntah apehal la pic nih g terbalik la plak)

Material wise, Snugg's made of cotton which is customisable (meaning u can choose from their vast fabric library) & lined with waterproof lining on the attached changing mat.Pockets are made with cotton material as well. I custom made mine hot pink!(winks)

TFY however is made of a PUL like material on both inside & outside so it really is waterproof  & the pockets are made of mesh . Another plus point is that it has an outer zipper to store small items such as keys & a bit of cash if u are planning to only go to your nearest supermarket without bringing an extra purse or anything. However, they only come in two colors & u risk having the next person toting the same clutch u r having. How not cool...

The changing mat of Snugg's however is so blah as u only have it in plain ol white as compared to TFY's..lihatlah!

Plus points for both, they are equipped with a snap velcro to enable u to secure it to ur stroller making it uber-stylish!

Both are also single-hand operable making it easier for u to deal with ur tak-boleh-duduk-diam toddler/infant

These are the items i'm stuffing into both these clutches to make comparisons with.

One 6-9mo sized rompers, 1 packet new unopened 30 sheets pureen wet wipes, 1 minyak telon, 1 bottom balm & 2 diapers (1 mamipoko & 1 pureen economy, both size S)

Here's how they fare

I liked the fact that TFY uses mesh that will dry up fast on wetting & u are able to see the things u stuffed in..however...ni ha cons dia.. the fact that the openings are to the side, the contents tend to slide out of the diapering kit eventho it is tightly cloed esp slippery stuffs like the wet wipes.

Snugg takes an upper hand on space available for more stuffs ( i thk 3-4 diapers pon boleh muat ) & they made the pockets facing up, the likelyhood nak jatuh tu is waaaay reduced. However since it is solid (notmesh), we are unable to see whats inside & also if it is wet, u will have to air it quite a while to dry it out.

As for closure, TFY uses velcro of adjustable length.The closure is easy & mantap. Takde terbukak2 accidentally

Snugg's closure system is using this getah/elastic band instead. While it is useful, it is not the best one for me as i feel it sometimes slips off whenever i sometimes stuff it inside my bag.

After tightly closing the kit , it is seen a lil on the bulky side, however since it is not that wide compared to Snugg's it is well compensated

 

However due to the wider space the bag is able to provide, the contents seems flatter when well closed.

I still love both my Snugg & TFY . Totally having no intentions to let go any of em. Maybe will be using them interchangably, according to mood. Both are pink, tho, my hubby will find outings alone w this not so exciting for him.

Tapi Luqman has his Papabag from Simple Dimple in which i will review sometime soon.

So, mana satu pilihan anda? Tepuk dada tanya selera ;)

Khy-Wrap Tutorial : Wrapping Up

Remember i promised a Tutorial?

Okay, 1st up, fold the long fabric length wise, halving the width

Then find the centre (as marked by the Khy-Wrap label) on ur product and put the label on ur bellybutton as shown above.

Afterwards, cross one side of the material to the OPPOSITE shoulder as shown above. (front view) 

From the back, this is how it will look like.

Then take the other side & do the same for the other shoulder, making an "X" shape at the back. Make sure fabric stays as flat as possible on ur body. This is to ensure comfort (ye la kang nak sandar sume selesa la takde bunching up) & also is vital for effective weight distriobution so that takde sakit pinggang sakit urat later on.

From the front, this is how it will look like. 

Then, take the right side & slide it beneath the front panel as so.

Do the same for the other side.

Thjis is how it will look with both the right & left panel beneath the front panel.

Cross the right & left at the front panels as shown

Bring to the back & cross them again.

Bring to front  again (if small to medium sized & kain tu can cross over to the front again.)
Tie double knots & u r done!!

DIY : Moby Wrap Wannabe

When i was preggers, i did many researches as i was interested in natural parenting, namely of breastfeeding, cloth diapering, babywearing & their importance.

Bukannye i do not have any strollers or carrier cum car seat for newborn but i'd like to have something compact , convenient & easy to handle. So i went typing "baby carriers" on google & 1st time gk pic ni i was hooked, lagi lak it was made trendy by celebrities like Sheryl Crow, along with Maggie Gyllenhaal, Brooke Shields, Ricki Lake, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Samantha Harris and Sarah Palin .

Moby Wrap is  a baby carrier consisting of a long piece of ultra-soft, breathable cotton. Toted as the most comfortable baby carrier on the market, the Moby Wrap is wrapped around the wearer to create a safe, custom-fitted and versatile baby carrier.

The wrap can be used for babies up to 35 lbs (15 kg) and is available in solids, prints, & designs.

Since a Moby can cost me upto RM 200+ each.. & truthfully its a little steep for us considering we are looking into nk pndah umah bagai.. Mmg kne DIY lg la ni.

So... Lahirlah DIY wrap yg dibeli sendiri at a fraction of the price.


The verdict? Moby wannabe sgtla comfy, tak sakit pinggang or bahu & my child tido nyenyak yang amat whenevr i pakai nih ok. 


Btw, Khayra is sebulan stengah & 4 kg by now. I have been using it since Khayra is 3 weeks old & it has been my total lifesaver when i had to move alone to banks & Jab pendaftaran negara to make her passport sume cz Luqman was working. 


It is also nnifty for evening walks since i need my exercise to hilangkan sume lemak2 degil. hoho

Pakai pegi mommy baby expo kat midvalley

Lihatla betapa comfortable nye Khayra tdo dlm tu

Kenduri kawen Intan at De Palma Inn Grand Ballroom

Berjalan2 cari pasal at Ikano Power Centre

Sambil berjalan dlm wrap sambil BF. Mudah, discreet & comfortable.

I am wanting to sell these to sesape yang interested dlm bentuk pre-order.

Ada byk printed ones, material i found baru yang much waaay better thn the one i hv been using before. 

Made from 95% denim cotton + 5% lycra, so this wrap is like a cross between Moby Wrap & a Boba wrap. How cool ,kan!

Harga RM 80 per piece.

Tutorial i will put up later. And.... sehingga  20 April, sesape yang beli akan dapat 10% diskon!

ONLY RM 72 per piece (not incl postage ye) ,

 barely balik modal je.

Sekitar Aqiqah Khayra: Endoi Review

As usual la kite DIY. Special thanx to my aunty for being so marvellous!

The endoi is a family heritae kot! Aged 18 years , the Graco automatic rocker has been the life savers for mommas in our family starting from my aunt. 

She then shipped it back to malaysia (from the US) so that we can all carry on using it.

Mommy & Khayra. Theme was purple & off whites. We didn't adhere much to the theme. hehe.masa mencemburui kot.

So we only had some good quality balloons (ni mmg penat woo nak tiup) costing about rm20 & some ribbons (another RM 30 ) & our old teddy bear & the kucing soft toy.

Bunga pahar beli kat Shah Alam, RM 50 for 100 pcs tak silap . Kelambu & bunga hiasan was recycled frm our bilik pengantin nye deco in 2010.huhu. 

Our star of the day, well behaved tdoq sepanjang marhaban. bgn 2x je thruout the event for feeding. Good girl, ank ibu..
