Wearing My Baby My Way with Mamaway

Sebrinah Yeo January 19, 2021 0

I love the headline of this article. Because it is personalized to suit me and my baby. As a mother of 3, with 3 kids day in and day out even from home during MCO, it can be extra tiring. But it is also a blessing in disguise.

Let me take you down memory lane abit. Since MCO started in Malaysia, kids couldn't go out as frequent anymore. It was just no longer normal. We all hopes that the situation will get better but little did we know, many have underestimated the consequences of Covid-19 and well, many were affected. Which led to many extended versions of MCO, CMCO and EMCO... It's Movement Control Order aka Lockdown in Malaysia. So what does that have to do with wearing my baby?

Well, since we have been home everyday, my kids has been ever clingy on me. Especially my little girl Ashley who turned one last year. When I do the laundry, clean the house, cook, even watching TV, she wants to stick with me. Just like a koala bear!

Luckily I have lots of love for babywearing and was grateful to be able to experience many types of babywearing in my motherhood journey.

So today I'll share about MamaWay RingSling that took my heart away when I saw the beautiful colors. Especially the Rainbow Sweetheart! I only just lately learned how to wear a RingSling and wondered how come I never learnt how to do it earlier! It is so convenient to just sling your baby like a kangaroo!

Difference is, you sling them correctly! Like for me here during Christmas I brought them to the neighborhood mall just behind my place to grab groceries and let the kids pick their presents at Toys'R'Us. Because we were in the Controlled Movement Control Order where lots of regulations been relaxed but still basic new norm SOP is a must. Therefore, still must wear mask, sanitize and stay 1 meter apart from strangers and no touch rules apply, especially for my kids.

Apart from this, we also went for several staycations in the city and in another state before the numbers went crazy!! But prior to that, we only stayed indoor most of the times. One of it was just a short distance from our place but I love this hotel the most, Best Western at i-City. I do plan to go back again because it's the nearest yet cosiest hotel that my kids love. Their food is amazing too! And I can babywear my baby all day in the MamaWay RingSling!

I took several close-ups too on how to properly wear your baby. You can wear it in your own way or fashion or style but make sure you get the basics right. I ain't a professional but I know I'm getting close. The good thing is, it is adjustable. You can view the video below to see some of the upclose shots on the basic positioning to have.

YES! Babywearing from home is an essential! You need this to keep your sanity in tact, especially if you have a clingy cranky toddler/infant/baby that requires your attention 24/7! Sometimes my baby just wants to hold me tight, it is their way of feeling secure in this big big world you brought them into. So don't be too quick to judge those who carry their child. Because when they grow up, it will be too late to want to just snuggle them tight!

Family Fun at Best Western i-City Shah Alam

For school holidays, parents all around will surely be brainstorming to plan where to go with the family for some fun moments to enjoy together! This time around, we brought our kids to Best Western at i-City Shah Alam.

I love how the hotel has a special add-on where it's pretty rare nowadays to check-in & check out 24 hours!

This "My Stay is My Way" package of additional RM60 allows guests to check-in/check-out anytime we'd like and it also comes exclusive with a Minibar Pack. This is perfect for families, especially with younger children as timing can get really unpredictable!

As we arrived, we were amazed at the efficiency of the check-in counter and the entire interior was really homey.

There was also a super cute corner where we can rent a fish for RM5 per night. There's 4 beta fish with their own personality awaiting to accompany our family on our holiday moments! Hence my son picked Jasper.

There was a pop up stall that offers quick snack and drinks on-the-go right next to the entrance and did I mention how friendly the staffs were? Even the guard was friendly, we could also borrow an umbrella as a guest of the hotel if it rains.

This corner next to the check-in counter offers their guests a quick treat to-go and it really brings back good childhood memories!

Our room was really cosy and comfy, and I like how it was a connected room which is good for bigger family with more than 4 pax!

They also prepared a baby cot for my baby in advance and a single bed in the connected room for my Mother-In-Law.

Upon checking-in, my kids were excited to know that the hotel provides us unlimited access to the Waterpark in i-City. Hence, they immediately get ready themselves-like MAGIC! to head out to the waterpark.

Firstly, we must download the i-City mobile application on our device and validate the entry at the front desk of our hotel first. Then only we head to the waterpark to scan the code to enter. Every room is entitled for 2 adult unlimited entry free. Any additional headcount must be purchased at the Waterpark entrance. Kids below 90cm height is free to enter.

The waterpark was pretty decent with different segments offering different fun and play areas for the whole family. The kids pool was crowded but crowded with lots of screams of joy and laughter!

We went to the water waves area to warm up first. I prefer that spot the most because it is shallow, visible and wide enough for everyone. And at specific timing the water waves will come forward as if we were by the beach side with the ocean waves rushing towards us. It was super fun! Even my baby was curious all the time as I was babywearing her in my Sukkiri Mesh ring sling from UnisonCA.

After awhile, we decided to adjourned back to the hotel for lunch and we must scan out of the waterpark so we can re-enter again later in the late afternoon.

After a good fun time together at the waterpark, we were hungry and Best Western actually had a unique menu that is worth experiencing! Their "Go Beyond Signature" menu that truly goes beyond your expectations! It is a mix of East meets West and it is a super unique fusion cuisine that you will hardly find it anywhere else!

After lunch, my kids were sleepy so we decided to stay in the hotel room and enjoy our time together to just unwind and relax.

Evening came and we decided to order in-room dining for dinner. It was the best decision ever! It was delicious! As unique and delicious as their lunch menu!

After dinner, we decided to head out to i-City night life as it comes alive with all the beautiful lights! Lots of fun and activities all along the way for the children and adults.

The very next day, I was looking forward for breakfast, so I woke up the earliest and had revenge on my kids. It was finally my turn to wake them up for breakfast! (Hahahahaha)

Breakfast was lovely, their eggs counter was especially yummy with variety for your choosing! I love the seating are inside and also outside.

After breakfast, we were back again to the waterpark!

For lunch this time we gotten the Hi-Tea Buffet Package as it was a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

My table was ready and waiting for me when we arrived, the food was delicious and the clown was entertaining the children with balloons of all sorts.

They even had keropok lekor! My all-time must-have favourite! Once we've settled our lunch cum hi-tea, we decided to burn off those extra calories at the waterpark again. After all these fun moments, it was actually time to say Goodbye and See You Again soon! My husband was already talking about planning another visit here with the family and his family also, atleast 3 families together. Because it was really fun and stress-free! We check-out at 4pm and headed back home (30 minutes away only).

However, no matter the distance, as long as the moments spent together is worth it, that's all that matters!
