OWSEE Mommy Part 1: The Hangers

Being a woman, I always see to it that my things are always in the right place and well organized. Well, not being an OC (Obsessive Compulsive) type of person, it just feels good when I see my things in order. And when my little one came, I always make sure that his things are well kept so I won't have a difficult time looking for them. Here's the first part of my OC OC mommy needs.

HANGERS- I know they are on the basic things that we need to keep our clothes organized. But this time, I found myself buying for baby hangers. And I have tons of them now. Haha! These cute little plastics makes my baby's clothes wrinkle free and neat. I even enjoyed looking at their different bright colors.

 Since my baby is just 3 months old, I only have his onesies hanging. I still keep some of his shirts folded 'cause he still won't be using them and they're still new. I couldn't resist buying these hangers because they also give me more space for his "pambahays" and sleepwears which I just store folded on his big plastic box container.

This is only the first part mommies. I still have a lot of OC OC mommy needs that I would like to share with you. Check out my next post!

BAGS...For Me or For Baby?

I'm a BAGaholic! And yes, I admit it. From handbags, shoulder bags, party bags, big bags, name them all- I have them! Even if asked what gift would I want for my birthday, I would ask them for a bag. My hubby also knows how addicted I am. I would even ask him to buy me one or two when we go shopping. But when my baby was about to be born, a different kind of bag came to my mind- Diaper Bags! Oh no! I need them ASAP! 

So what I did was, I added a diaper bag on my baby shower wishlist. And I got it! Presto! I now have a Baby Couture Diaper Bag in Baby Blue. Thanks to my friends Sofie, Malou and Angel for checking this out. It's really a space saver.

This bag has a great space inside which can accommodate baby necessities for an overnight stay out. I used this as a hospital bag to put my baby's newborn clothes and things. I was also able to put some of my pajamas in it. It also have inside compartments and outside pockets where you can put some of baby's little needs. It also comes with a diaper changing pad and a small clear organizer.

But oh, I think this bag isn't enough yet. I still need another one. Well, not as big as this bag, but something that's just enough for baby's needs when we go out. I mean, when we need to go to his pedia for his monthly well-baby check up. Or when we want to go to the malls, or just when we want to go out with him for at least 2 to 4 hours. So I think I need a smaller bag now. Haha! 

Then I found a little but okay diaper bag. Little compared to the one I already have. Okay, since I can put baby's enough things inside. Here comes Graco, a bag that we can bring most of the time.

It's not as big as what my usual diaper bag is, but we can definitely bring this when we go out and when it's his check up time. It can simply hold around 3-4 feeding bottles, 1-2 diapers, milk dispenser, baby wipes, diaper changing pad, alcohol, burp cloth. Just enough space for a 2-5 hrs of being away from home. It also has some small pockets outside that can also hold feeding bottles.

My Diaper Bags, is it really mine or my baby's? 

Have you noticed that both of them are in baby blue? So I think they're my baby's bag. Not mine. Haha! :)

Baby Yale is a Rash-Free Baby!

Keeping our little ones as comfortable as we want them to be is a very crucial thing that every mom has to deal with. Mainly because we won't know what would keep them out from crying so often and how we can protect their baby-soft skin. Being a first time mom, this has never been a so-so difficult situation for me. I just thought of giving what my baby demands, and what I know would keep him comfy.

From the time that baby Yale was born, I wasn't able to experience dealing with cloth diapers ("lampin", curity or whatever we call them). I bought a pack of Huggies Newborn Diapers in 24's from SM Baby Company 202.75 and I find it very good (quality-wise) for my baby's use. I even tried using Pampers and EQ Dry, since most moms would advise me to be budget wise. But nah, I wouldn't sacrifice my baby's comfort for a little coin difference. I shifted back to Huggies and now, my baby uses Huggies Dry Comfort.

For changing my baby's diapers, I use these: Cotton Pleats and warm water when he poops, Pigeon Baby Wipes when he's wet. I also apply some Johnson's Baby powder to keep him fresh.

It will be one of our nightmares when our babies experiences diaper rashes. Well, it wouldn't keep them from being comfortable anymore. So what I do to prevent them is I apply Vandol Cream at least twice a week after giving him a bath. My pedia even recommended me to apply it every diaper change and don't ever let my baby's diaper stay for more than 6 hours. Luckily, my baby didn't experience having diaper rashes. I also use Cutivate Cream when my baby has pink or red spots on his face or body. Those were not rashes though and every baby experience them especially when they're newly born.

These are the samples of my Pedia: Cutivate Cream and Vandol Ointment (I haven't bought them yet so I still don't know the market price)

Giving the best for our babies doesn't mean we have to spend a lot, we just have to feel what our baby needs and what our budget says. There is still no substitute for our precious babies comfort.

            This is what my baby looks like when he's so comfy...so adorable...Isn't that priceless? :)
