Thad & Mik Lactation Cookie Review

Sebrinah Yeo July 12, 2021 0

I've tried many cookie's in my entire breastfeeding journey, especially the ones that promotes boosting breastmilk. And out of the many I've tried and reviewed before, this one was my favourite, because it was really yummy and chocolatey.

I love how it tastes and I don't taste too much of the other herby ingredients that some cookies has it very strongly. And it's not too dry and coarse like some who is super high in fibres.

It was just the nice blend in combination and the chocolate was really like a melt in your mouth type and it was chunky! If you love chunky chocolates you will love this for sure.

At first I was thinking, like all other cookies maybe this will take time to work too. But I didn't know that even after breastfeeding consistently for 7yrs in a row with several months break in between when I had shingles back in 2018 and now still breastfeeding my baby girl; I would still have the feeling of getting engorged!

And at first I thought maybe I was just excited and happy to try out something new that got me to feel boosted. However, I tried again 2 to 3 pieces of cookie and true enough, in just 24hours I felt somewhat fuller. In fact, it wasn't just me who enjoyed the cookies, my kids as well. My baby girl was the happiest, cookies and milk just for her. Breastfeeding for 7 years in a row and feeding on demand via direct latch helps to keep the flow going and also takes away the concept of, how many ounces you can produce because I believe the breastpump and milk bottle, cannot measure the amount of milk one can produce.

Only your mindset, your emotions/feelings and your baby can measure the amount of milk you have. I was always positive about breastfeeding and never listen in to naysayers or negativity, to the point even the cabbage couldn't stop me from lactating. Since then I knew our mind is a powerful tool! That with support from cookies like this helps. Also, because cabbage didn't work for me, when I was engorged, the only 2 things that has helped me this time around was my Lumispa and Cholestin! Because Cholestin supplement helps to reduce any blockages at the milk ducts and allows smoother flow in our bloodstream because one of the ingredients in it is Lecithin. As for Lumispa, it helps to gently massage and unblock milk ducts that is stuck, works much better and efficient than my knuckles or the back of the comb or warm bottle water.

Here's where to get some cookies to indulge in for leisure with your family or for your breastfeeding journey. Trust me, this works! And check out the other reviews on their Instagram channel too! Lotsa mummies attest to this!

Breastfeeding Friendly with Lunavie Nursing Cami

Wear

Sebrinah Yeo December 13, 2019 0

As a breastfeeding advocate myself that has been breastfeeding my 3 kids for 5 years already and counting. It has been a beautiful journey worthy of sharing.

What's even worthy is finding the right outfit for this!

As a breastfeeding mom, when I decided to fully breastfeed my child, I knew I will have some difficulty in finding nice clothes to wear that won't make me look bigger in size because of the extra layer of clothes I have to wear just to breastfeed on-the-go.

I still want to look good in my nursing clothes when I'm outside and even finding a comfortable one for home is crucial! After 5 years long, I found that Lunavie has the Nursing Cami that is truly a life saviour!

I can wear it as my casual wear at home. I can also wear it out on its own without worrying how I'd look like or exposing too much.

I can even wear it to bed because it's so comfortable!

Best of all, my baby can breastfeed with ease, and I just need to put a cover over me and that's all it takes.

It's silky soft fabric expands as a mother's body changes during the Breastfeeding journey because our hormones is still imbalance.

The buttons provides a good support so that it doesn't lose its shape overtime like most nursing clothes.

The removable foam is convenient and washable. It also gives good coverage support as well protecting the breast area. Material wise it is really comfy and suitable for anyone in any weather because of its skin-friendly material.

Most importantly it is non-wired therefore when I get engorged, it does not feel painful at all and I still feel protected even without wearing a bra because this cami is crafted with a built-in shelf bra.

As a mom to another mom, this is perfect for all moms who breastfeeds or planning to breastfeed!

BabyKoala Labels for Bottles

store

Sebrinah Yeo September 12, 2019 0

As a 3rd time mother, I never thought that I would ever needed to pump and store milk for my baby. However, this 3rd time around, I would have to do that because of my active lifestyle and my lifetime passion as a health consultant that travels to places to change lives.

Therefore, I have to start organising my things and making sure that I have enough breastmilk stored for my baby girl to continue being exclusively breastfed either through direct latch or via the bottle. One of the ways I do that is with the BabyKoala Labels for milk bottles.

I love how the design is made to be reusable, you can rinse and reuse for a new bottle and it is made of silicon so it lasts longer and it's stronger.

Being a mom isn't easy, because it's not just looking after the baby; Providing the best for baby is also important. And I always want to give my best for them while I can

That's why most moms chose to leave their career to nurture their baby for as long as they can. And breastfeeding is one of the best ways to give them the best that nature has made for us moms for our babies!

I have been a Breastfeeding mom since 2014 and exclusively allow my firstborn to direct latch-on-demand for 4 years, followed by tandem feeding my secondborn since 2016 for 3 years until today my thirdborn for as long as possible (atleast years or so).

And I am one who doesn't like to wash up but I know eventually I would have to go through this path of pumping and storing milk one day.

Grateful for BabyKoala bottle labels that help me to identify which milk is the freshest and which should be stored in the freezer in due time and so on. Because my memory is not as good as it used to these days. It'll take time to get my memory back on track after having 3 kids!

BioGaia ProBiotics for a Healthy Gut

Review

Sebrinah Yeo September 10, 2019 0

As a mother of 3 kids, I always knew probiotics is an important source of supplement for a healthy gut. But I never really knew how important it was for newborn babies until now!

I've heard of it but never thought I'd ever needed it until I just recently gave birth to my 3rd child, a Princess. However, this princess has been pretty cranky and I suspected she has colic issues because of her high-pitched cries of discomfort and especially at night time. Plus she regurgitate quite often and is very very hard to burp.

So I knew I had to get the BioGaia ProBiotics for her and yes! It is actually okay for newborn baby to take this from birth.

I like how it is really easy to use, just 5 drops and your baby will feel better overtime.

All it takes is just 5 drops. What it does is, it helps build a healthy gut system for my baby and most importantly, it protects my baby's digestive system from bad bacteria and rids it of bad bacteria while providing good bacteria at the same time.

She seldom gets cranky at night after just 2 days and now she is also learning to "Sleep Through The Night" aka STTN, every parents dream come true! But she is becoming easier to manage now since I started giving her BioGaia ProBiotics.

Even me as an adult benefit from probiotics, apart from good skin, it also helps when I am having stomach ache or diarrhea or any digestion issues. It even helps in constipation.

But nothing can compare to knowing that when I consume the BioGaia Probiotic chewable tablets myself, and as a breastfeeding mom, there's also a sense of relieve knowing that there will be good things that will flow through to my baby via my breastmilk too! So win-win! I benefit, baby gets extra benefit too while breastfeeding and we're both on BioGaia Probiotic!

Toku Tsuru Drip Essence of Chicken Malaysia

Toku Tsuru

Sebrinah Yeo April 20, 2019 0

As an expecting mom myself, I always look out for the best nutrients that I can consume to nourish my body and also provide adequate nutrients for my baby that I am carrying within me during my pregnancy. Now I am already in my 7th month of pregnancy at Week 27, 3rd trimester and I can already feel my baby girl kicking me every now and then.

At this stage, my body works doubly hard to provide the best nutrients to my growing baby inside me and this means I would have to consume healthy nutritious food as well. Thankfully I came to know about Toku Tsuru Drip Essence of Chicken!

Because my body is working hard pumping blood and oxygen to my baby, I require as much energy to help keep me and baby healthy throughout my pregnancy. Hence, after looking around for a good Chicken Essence, I realized that Toku Tsuru Drip Chicken Essence actually has a really neat process in its production from a Whole Chicken all the way to its end product.

I like how it has a really authentic flavour without the poultry smell from chicken and it's packed in an aluminium foil bag that is simple and convenient to bring around, especially when I'm travelling on-the-go. But most importantly, I can taste its pure form of chicken essence through its high-temperature steaming and slow-fire methods of extraction without being mixed in water!

The best part about this Toku Tsuru Drip Chicken Essence is that it is extracted from 100 days Taiwan black-feathered chicken and it has no added preservatives, no added artificial colours and no added artificial flavours.

Why chicken essence? Because it is an excellent source of high-quality protein and in case you didn't know, protein helps to build and repair tissues, so a healthy intake of protein during pregnancy supports baby's growth. Plus, I am also still breastfeeding my 2nd son so it also helped me maintain a healthy milk supply too.

In addition to the above, drip essence of chicken can improve iron absorption and mobilization of iron stored in the body. Did you know that it is also rich in gelatin which is also commonly known as a beauty superfood called collagen? With so many benefits, I don't see why this ain't worth investing in!

Taking 2 to 3 packs a day is equivalent to consuming 1 whole chicken of nutrients. And their manufacturing process completely removes fat and cholesterol content from the whole chicken. Hence, it is safe for consumption for children, elderly, teenagers, working adults, pregnant and postpartum moms. However, if you want to be safe, you can always consult your doctor's advise before consuming.

It's easy to prepare, just soak a bag in boiling water for 5-10 minutes and serve. Or you can pour it out into a bowl and heat in an electric cooker or steamer and serve hot.

Bungasunti Dina Kebaya Maternity, Raya Collection Malaysia

Review

Sebrinah Yeo April 09, 2019 0

Before you know it, Raya is coming around the corner very soon now! And if you're an expecting mom like me, then this will be the perfect Raya Collection that you will not want to miss!

Ordering is pretty easy, just click on the LINK in their social media channel and you will be directed to directly contact them via WhatsApp and place your orders.

I didn't know what size I was but after giving my measurements to them,they helped me send the right size for me! This is quite common actually, because pregnant moms then to grow in size and may differ in shape most times; Hence your usual dress size may usually vary.

When I received my parcel, I was excited to put it on and took a few preview shots trying it out at home!

I like how it's fabric was really comfortable and it was thick enough to keep me warm but it's texture is smooth and cooling enough to keep me feeling comfortable in it all day long even in our hot and humid weather in Malaysia.

It's workmanship was really good too! Originated from Bungasunti, it makes this collection a unique and beautiful maternity kebaya that worth value for money!

It costs RM159 and now they are also having a free postage with free gifts* up for grabs! It sells out pretty quick too!

So it's best to quickly decide which colour that you love most and then grab it while you can! It comes in 4 different colours.

Actually if you're a plus size, this would also benefit you too because it's really comfortable and the way it is designed with its beautiful flawless waves and A-shaped design, it makes me look elegant in it without my pregnant belly being shown too much. From some angle it's also hard to notice that I'm pregnant because of the way this Dina Kebaya is shaped.

Did I mentioned that it's also good for breastfeeding too? Because it's a zip down in the center top and if you're wearing a nursing cover or shawl, you can easily breastfeed your baby on-the-go.

You can also visit their page to see more of their unique collection that will further beautify your Raya celebration this 2019!
