Hello Mommsies!

If you are in the look out for the ultimate feeding bottles out there in the market, you might try these ones out. These were featured in via POPSUGAR MOMS. *lovin' the name!*
These 9 bottles below are some of the best at mimicking the motion, flow, and feeling of the breast.

These 9 bottles below are some of the best at mimicking the motion, flow, and feeling of the breast.
Considered to be one of the most breast-like bottles on the market, the Mimijumi Very Hungry ($13) is a one-piece, wide-mouthed bottle with a unique nipple to help simulate the nursing process. The naturally colored nipple features graduated textures to mimic an actual breast. It is also angled to copy a baby's position while nursing.
The Adiri Natural Nurser was one of our readers' favorite bottles for breastfed babies, but it leaked terribly, driving mamas searching for a new bottle.
Now ReliaBrand has introduced the new Adiri NxGen Nurser ($17), an updated and much-improved version of the original that uses a built-in, bottom vent system — no tubes or valves in sight — to create a pure flow of air into the bottle as baby drinks, preventing the nipple from collapsing and minimizing gas and painful bubbles.
Made from food-grade silicon and plastic, the new bottle can be filled from either the top or the bottom, making it a cinch to clean. However, while the new version did not leak nearly as much as the previous version, we did find that it left a bit of milk behind in the warming disk.
Designed to function like a human breast, the wide-bodied The First Years Breastflow Bottle ($7) requires a suction and compression in order to release milk. The dual action makes it tougher than the average bottle but more similar to the actual process of breastfeeding.
Milk straight from the breast is warm, but milk from the fridge or freezer, just isn't. While pumped milk can be heated under running water (it should never be warmed in the microwave), there's no way to regulate the temperature to an exact degree. TheYoomi bottle ($39) is fitted with a warmer that fits into the bottle's elongated lid. Prior to a baby's feeding, push a button and wait 60 seconds. When the milk enters the bottle's nipple, it passes over the heater and is delivered at the perfect temperature for hungry lil tots. The heater obtains heat when submerged in boiling water for 25 minutes. It retains its heat until it is used.
Tommee Tippee's bulbous Closer to Nature bottles ($20 for three) fit right into a mom's hand and are designed to help a tot transition between breast and bottle-feeding. The BPA- and phthalate-free bottles also have soft, flexible nipples that stretch like human ones while the built-in valve helps reduce air intake.
One would expect that the bottles designed by a company best known for their breastpumps would be ideal for breastfed babies — and Medela'sCalma bottles ($17) are. The bottles unique nipple — it is longer and flatter than most others on the market — requires babies to use the same sucking motion used when breastfeeding in order to create a vacuum to release milk. Though the nipple has several pieces to assemble before it is placed on the bottle, users say it is worth the extra steps.
More than a few breastfeeding mamas have reported that the tried and true Playtex Drop-In Original Nurser ($10) is the easiest bottle to introduce to breastfed babies. Whether it's the collapsing bottle liners that stave off air or the latex nipples that generations of moms have trusted, we're not quite sure, but for whatever reason, breastfeeding moms just seem to love these low-cost bottles!
A longtime favorite of the breastfeeding community, the Philips AVENT Natural Bottle ($10) was recently redesigned to mimic nursing better than ever. A wide-neck design gives the bottle a breast-like shape, while the soft nipple feels relatively like mom's nipple. The best part is AVENT's anti-colic system — it is a twin valve that does not leak air into the feeding baby — only into the bottle.
That Strong Earthquake!
Last Monday Tuesday, at exactly 8.12 in the morning, we felt a strong quake shaking from beneath us.
I was with my son, Adi and fiance A outside our little hut in Mandaue when the grounds shook.
At first, I thought my neighbor's son, PJ just shook off our clothesline. It was swinging back and fourth.
then I heard my cousin Ate Lai shouting, the ground was trembling and a sound could be heared from beneath.
It was a morning I could never forget. I was shouting back at Adi and held him closely to me. While we were sitting feeling the earth tremble!
I couldn't believe it was happening but I kept my mind in complete control. I never panicked.
All I was thinking was for my dear neighbors and my family to be safe and could get out of this alive!
I was hearing my uncle shouting 'HOO!!' a tradition to keep the earthquake away.
I can see my mom covering her head and closing her eyes. She was in great fear.
After about 8 minutes or so, the shaking stopped.
I was relieved, I checked out everyone. I was glad we we're all okay.
Except for that little crack on the wall in our sala. Baby Adi was crying, and I was glad I was there to comfort him. It was a holiday and we were all at home.
Thank God! It was a holiday if it were not, I couldn't imagine how everything could have been.

Hi Mommsies!!
Did you know? that the month of October has been made the official world-wide Breast Cancer Awareness Month since 1985.
Its aim was to promote Mammograms as a significant component of early detection and breast cancer survival.
Why Pink is the color associated with Breast Cancer? It is because the occurrence of the disease is predominant among women. Hence, it also known as "PINK OCTOBER".
Speaking of tools and detection, Chong Hua Hospital and Hi-Precision Diagnostics are now offering BIG DISCOUNTS on Mammography just for this Month of October.
If you have a family member or a friend who wants to avail of this promo, you can directly call them.

Detoxify!
Tuesday, October 1
Been having a lot of work lately. How ya doin momsies?
I hope you're doin great today.
Lately, I am into having a prob with my digestion. I am a person of slow metabolism, the reason for weight gain and hard to feed tummy often compels me to choose all sorts of food to eat and munch at just about anything. For Obvious reasons, I have bought the following items:
Wheat bread, Pineapple Juice, and mega Fiber!
Yes! Fiber Overload ang diet ko ngayon. =(
I badly need to detoxify. As for once, I have recently overheard from the radio propaganda the ill effects of high toxins in our body. And isa ako dun. Sa nakaka experience na ng symptons.
The Symptoms: http://gdetoxplus.com/All over the world, people are becoming ill, sick or even dying because of toxins. Toxins pollute the human body, attack the healthy body and slowly destroy it. After years of storage, the toxins move into body cells and tissues. They ultimately produce such degenerative diseases as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, and others.
Common symptoms of excess toxins in the body include: constipation, poor digestion, stomach bloat, insomnia, fatigue, frequent headaches, muscle or joint aches and pains, bad breath, poor memory, poor skin, itching, excess weight, chronic respiratory or sinus problems, coated tongue, depression, weakened immune system and an overall feeling of lethargy.I swear talagang I AM ONE OF THOSE. so start ako sa journey ko today.
I'm hoping to get good results out of this one.
have you tried this products too?
If so, please let me know.
Mommy Ina Reviews: Sophie Magic Pink Cream
Friday, September 27
Hi mommies and fellow beauty enthusiasts!!
I left the office early today to take care of baby Adi since Nanay accidentally got sick. Nakakaawa talaga si Inay. I have no Yaya and helper at home, I am a working mom and I leave Adi to her for like the whole day.
How I wish that I could decently find myself a good helper who I can entrust Adi with. He has grown so fast and he is really very sipat (kulit) in bisaya. So to cut the story short, I was home to once and for all attend to my toddler little boy.
So much for that, let's get with the review of this product which I have been really loving since the day I got my hand on it. =)
(Sophie's MAGIC PINK Cream)
one minute to naturally look pink
Back
Magic Pink is formulated using plant extract. It turns skin into rosy pink within 1 minute of application.
i love that it comes in a tube =) i can easily squeeze a pea-sized amount from it.
the consistency of the product is watery (water-based ingredient) and the color at first is white as shown above on my hand.
After spreading the product on my hand...
What I love:
- it's water based.
- it's payoff is more of a natural pink unlike other cheek tints that are too red or too obviously red on the face.
- it stays longer. the color is there even by the next morning.
- a little goes a long way for this product. =)
- affordable for only PHP85.00 at Sophie
What I don't like:
- the tube.... =)
Have you tried this product, too? Let me know your thoughts.
till then ♥
