My new diaper bag from Dubai | Brand Junior

I have been using my Reebaby Diaper bag for quite a while now. And that had been the only bag I was taking out.

Its a nice bag.

But.

It just has enough space to fit the absolute necessities. And not the extra stuff that you may need for long journeys.

My aunt and uncle who recently arrived from Dubai have bought me the exact bag I need. It has wide compartments. Enough space inside. And also comes with a changing mat.

Check out my video below where I show you my latest bag.

Also do check out my previous blog where I tell you what you need to pack in your diaper bag.

How to use the Ollington St Collection Baby carrier

I have two baby carriers. One is the Evenflo Natural fit baby carrier and the other is the ollington streer collection baby carrier.

I love the evenflo carrier but I cannot make Rani face outwards and see the world.

So I bought this carrier from Ollington street which lets the baby sit facing both inwards and outwards.

So these are the three ways that we can use this carrier:
-Front carrier with baby facing inwards
-Front carrier with baby facing outwards
-Hip carrier

The only issue here is that it has only one, over the shoulder strap. So we need to keep one hand on the baby at all times.

Check out my video below where I show you how to use the ollington st collection baby carrier.

You can buy this carrier here :

How to use the Evenflo Natural Fit Baby carrier

I use the Evenflo Natural Fit baby carrier all the time to carry Rani.

Its definitely a life saver.

You can use the evenflo natural fit baby carrier im three ways:

-Front carry
With the baby sitting comfortably turning towards you, you can do most of your household work with your free hands.

-Hip carry
This gives a different view for your baby and a shift in weight for you. Baby's weight gets balanced when you want to use only one of your hands for any exclusive work.

-Back carry
This position can be used when you want to have some fun with your baby and also when you want your front to be free.

What type of baby carrier do you need

Baby wearing has definitely turned into a necessity for us moms and dad especially when you do not have any help at home.

I cannot imagine what I would have done without a baby carrier . It has literally saved me from so much effort in life .

I use my baby carriers all the time.

Never compromise on the quality because you find something cheaper specially when you have a baby involved.

Why does it matter ?

 A baby's safety always comes first.

If you do not know, hip dysplasia is a major concern in babies.

The below link will give you more details on baby safety.

International Hip Dysplasia Institute

I consider the below 2 carriers as the best baby carriers:

1. Evenflo Natural Fit Soft Carrier, Khaki Orange

This baby carrier provides you three positions

•  Front carry (baby facing you) 
•  Back carry and
•  Hip carry

I use this carrier both within the house and outside. It lets me free my hands while keeping Rani close to me.


2. Ollington St. Collection Baby Kangaro Carrier - Red

This baby carrier has a seat and also provides three positions

•  Front carry inward facing
•  Front carry outward facing and
•  Hip carry

I use this carrier when I have to take her out or whenever I want her to look outwards.

Do check out my video where I also show you the baby carriers that I use.

Blog | We went shopping for my little valentine on her first trip to the mall

Rani has never been to a mall. So I thought why not take her out and buy something for her for valentines day.

After all valentines day is around the corner and this is valentines week !!

I was definitely apprehensive the whole time. We can never tell about a baby's mood right.

So I packed my new diaper bag with all the essentials and left for the mall.

I put Rani in her baby carrier . Covered her up with a shawl and took her out to her first experience at the mall.

Well , thats not all!!

She got to taste ice cream too for the first time.

Now , dont jump to any conclusions.  I only let her taste it for one time. That's all. And I could tell that she really loved it!!

Want to see for yourself??

Blog | We bought the newborn to toddler portable rocker for Rani

A baby rocker or a baby bouncer ? A rocker rocks and puts babies to sleep whereas a bouncer stimulates the baby.

Heck. .

I would have loved to buy both, but do baby's really understand that we bought this for their entertainment ?

No. They just want to live the moment !!!!

They are happy even with the smallest of small things and the cheapest of cheap things.

Well. I'm a little budget conscious which is why I would never buy both . Knowing this particular behaviour of babies it would be foolish to spend so much on something which might be used so rarely.

I put a lot of thought before I buy anything for my baby. This time it was for a rocker. They are so expensive at the malls and baby shops.
So I finally bought one on amazon.

Its a rocker which can be easily converted to a chair. It has a vibrating feature. It has a play rod which can be attached or detached , with hanging musical toys and a teething toy . I rarely use this part though, mainly because it comes in the way of Rani's armrest. It can also be folded up to be kept inside.

When I ordered it I got all the parts separately.  But that wasn't a problem . We just a need a screw driver. The screws are given along with the parts. It takes around 10 to 15 minutes to assemble. And your baby's new chair / rocker is ready.

Check out my video where I show you Rani's new rocker which has already been converted to a chair by now.

Make your own Baby's play activity mat | Motherhood

When babies want to play nothing can stop them.

Except the tired parent who tries to restrict their movements.

Oh , thats sad.

Dont do that. Its their time of exploration. This is the time they develop all hand eye coordinations, skillsets , understanding and what not. Brain development occurs at this stage. 

So give them some time to play. Let them unleash their own personalities. 

All you need to do as a parent is provide them the location and the objects that is necessary.

Location :

The floor in your house covered with a protective mat.

Well for the play mat you have so many choices. If you want you can go fancy and buy those expensive play gyms . But lets face it , babies grow so fast. Those play gyms will lose their mojo in the baby's eyes before you can say "play"!!! So don't spend too much on these things. 

If you have some extra blankets , mattresses or bedspreads , that is all you really need. 

Get creative. Fold these blankets/mattresses and cover them with a bedspread . Make sure you maintain their cleanliness too. Just put them out in the sun, once in two days. 

Lay them on the floor. Put your baby down and watch them play !

Objects : 

Duh , their toys of course !! 

There are so many toys out there which are perfect for each baby. You can get as creative as you like. Make your own toys if you like (yes, I did make an origami soft toy for my baby ! )  or buy toys cheap/expensive . Anything goes, as far as they are clean , non toxic , do not pose choking hazardjs and your baby is entertained.

Check out my vlog below where Rani is seen playing on the homemade play mat / activity mat / play gym. . Oh call it whatever you like.

What should you pack in your Diaper Bag | Reebaby diaper bag (biege) | Motherhood , Maternity , Labor and delivery

Now that your baby has crossed the two month mark , you are slightly more confident in taking your baby out and showing them the world.

And you imagine them saying,  "Hello world ! Here I am with my mom. On her lap. Oh wait , I have to poop , right about now "

Yikes . .

Now stop. Dont worry . If you read this blog before going out then you are fully prepared.

How , you ask?

By packing your diaper bag of course !!!
There are certain things that a mom or dad who takes the baby out , should always equip themselves with.

Below is the list of things that I consider as very much necessary in your diaper bag :

1. Diapers
Keep atleast four of them or more depending on how long you plan to be out.

2. Baby wipes
Buy the smaller wipes packet.

3. Diaper rash cream
If your baby has rashes or you fear of rashes occuring at the wrong time. Just be safe and keep it in your bag.

4. Feeding bottle
If you are formula feeding or feeding expressed breast milk you can keep a milk bottle in the bag for emergencies.

5. Wash cloths
To wipe the baby's thrown up milk. In the initial months babies spit out milk once they are full so you definitely need these.

6. Your wallet and your cellphone
How can you forget your wallet and phone ?

7. A torch
I always keep this in my bag

8. Hand sanitizer
When you hold a baby and you suddenly sneeze or somebody hands you a doughnut. You wouldn't be satisfied with the tissue cleaning that you do. So an emergency hand sanitizer will do your job for the moment

9. Lip balms , sunscreens , makeup stuff or mach stuff for the dad , snacks, id cards etc
Keep your personally preferred things which you consider as necessary when you go out.

10.Your baby's favourite toy
To entertain a cranky baby you need to pack your baby's favourite toy too.

11. A changing mat
For placing your baby while changing the diaper.

12. Extra newspapers or tissues and plastic covers
This you may require to put the soiled diapers / nappies, spilled over clothes , used wash clothes . . you get the idea.

13. A water bottle for yourself
To quench your thirst !

14. Extra clothes for your baby
This include caps,mittens, socks,onesies, dresses and any other item of your liking.

Now you may wonder if there is any particular bag you should carry or any bag would do just fine. Well , this is really upto you.

Let me tell you what I prefer just so you get the idea. If I put everything in one bag with one compartment only then I may have to dig into the bag everytime to search for what I am looking for. However if I have a well compartmentalised bag with functional organisers then it makes my job easy.

Which is why I ended up buying the Reebaby diaper bag in biege. This bag not only looks like a designer bag but it also has lots of compartments which helps me organise my things. There are compartments wide enough to hold diapers as well as the baby wipes. It even has a holder for feeding bottles and water bottles

Whats more ?

You also get a maching changing mat and a bottle cover along with two detachable velcro clips for those who take their babies out in strollers.

You can buy your very own Reebaby diaper bag here:

Blog | Unboxing Rani's new toys from Amazon

Babies always get bored with the toy that they play with but you cant go around buying new toys for them all the time right ?

Well , I try to do my bit by being as innovative with the toys I buy for Rani. And I do it by buying a new toy for her which can help her engage in new activities. Rani has turned six months old now and this is the best time to introduce new toys which are perfect at this age.

Oh no ! We are not talking Rocket science here. At this stage she just needs some soft toys, toys which make sounds like rattles, teethers, squeaking toys, animal shaped toys . These are some toys which can keep them occupied.

So what do you think I did? Go to Amazon of course!

I found two toys which can do my job.

1. Finger puppets using which you can sing the old mac donald song : See you can also teach your baby a song now !

2. A four in one Lion rattle : It squeaks, rattles , is a soft toy and has teethers!! A four in one toy! Yippee. Am I the mom ? Well who cares. Even I love this toy !

Check out the excitement on Rani's face once I opened the new toys for her !

You can buy these toys too if you want to surprise your little one.

1. Finger puppets:

2. Lion rattle:
