It’s not easy to handle picky eaters, pretty sure some parents would have dealt with one and between my two girls, I have Miya who eats basically everything and then I also have Mina who doesn't eat anything and it can be a real struggle during meal time besides that, because of her Juvenile Polyposis Syndrome she sometimes encounter tummy aches as well, all of these makes me wonder if she is consuming the right amount of balanced nutrition to support adequate growth and development. 

I was introduced to Himalaya Bonnisan Syrup lately, it is an ayurvedic proprietary medicine that’s traditionally used in infants and children for prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. It is made with key ingredients such as Anethum graveolens (Dill Oil), Elettaria cardamomum (Cardamom), and Piper longum (Indian long pepper)

Benefits of Himalaya Bonnisan Syrup

• Promotes healthy growth 
• Enhances and improves appetite 
• Relieves colic & gas in the stomach (flatulence)
• Reduces frequent, prolonged, and intense crying for no cause 
• Improves digestive system 

I usually feed Mina with a teaspoon of Himalaya Bonnisan before her meals, personally, I've tried it, it doesn't taste too but it wouldn't be a kid's favorite drink, to make things easier I’ll just mix it into a cup of juice and get her to drink it. The recommended dosage for kids aged 6 months to 3 years is 2 teaspoons three times a day and it can be used for infants as early as 1 month old. 

After a month of trying out Himalaya Bonnisan Syrup, I have I saw results with Mina's eating pattern, she seems to have a better appetite and as a mum, I can now struggle less during meal times, finally peace of mind. 

If you’re struggling with a picky eater or kids with colic issues, you are not alone, remember there are ways to work with it, Himalaya Bonnisan can help promote healthy growth to keep your kids healthy & happy! Try out Himalaya Bonnisan it's really affordable and it's available at Himalaya's outlets nationwide or alternatively, you can also purchase it online.

As parents it’s in our nature to want the best for our kids and protecting them is our top priority, being a busy working mom of two, I believe in taking a realistic approach toward healthy habits that is honest and refreshing.

80% of the immune system is located in the gut so it’s an essential step to take good care of it! Probiotics are good bacteria that live in our gut and it contributes towards a balanced well-functioning immune system and regular dosage of probiotics helps prevent and reduce the risks of many health concerns which is why I’ve introduced this dietary supplement for both my girls.



Since there are manyprobiotic products available in the market so it wasn't an easy job to pick the best but currently, the entire family is consuming probiotics from BioGaia, an innovative Swedish healthcare company with 25 years of experience in the field. What makes this probiotic stand out from the others is the because of the natural probiotic strain - Lactobacillus reuteri.

Let us dive a little deeper about Lactobacillus reuteri
Unlike other probiotic strains are only temporary inhabitants, derived from the intake of food studies show that L. reuteri is highly effective and there are studies to prove it. The strain is special probiotic that naturally colonizes the digestive tract and derived from human mother’s milk. It produces Reuterin which has antimicrobial, antiviral and antifungal properties.

Benefits of Biogaia L. reuteri

• Improve allergy reaction



BioGaia comes in two forms, chewable tablets, and baby drops, it’s suitable for newborn onwards, in fact, this is a great choice of probiotics for expecting mothers, by promoting healthy microflora it is able to help relieve pregnancy problems such as constipation and bloated tummy, I wish I had known about this earlier, ask any pregnant ladies, I’m pretty sure at some point in their pregnancy they will face issues likes that.

Besides that, it’s long been believed that microbial colonization of the newborn starts during and after pregnancies, which means maternal microbes are transferred from mother to baby during vaginal birth, breast milk, and even the placenta. So, ladies, do take note that you’re no longer alone because you’re sharing everything for your lil ones.

Here’s some good news to share, BioGaia Probiotic is working well for my family, Miya started taking BioGaia Probiotic chewable tablets for a month now and I’ve just noticed a reduction of tummy problems and more regular bowel movements.


For my younger daughter, Mina, she’s currently consuming the BioGaia Probiotic Drops, the drops are suitable and safe for 0-3 years old, with scientific evidence in infantile colic and beneficial for other gastrointestinal disorders, all you need is to take 5 drops (one dose) a day, your baby will benefit from a minimum of 100 million live Lactobacillus reuteri.

I love essential oils and I've been using them ever since I got pregnant, I usually diffuse them in a mist diffuser because I'm not very good with mixing and making my own essential oil blends. I was so pleased to come across Audelia Natural because I've always preferred natural remedies as a substitute for medications. Don't get me wrong, if the condition worsens then it's best to get advice from a medical practitioner. 

Audelia Natural is a local brand that offers a wide range of blends for both adults and children, the products are dermatologically tested and hypoallergenic so I felt pretty confident using it. Other products available include Gogogermbuster which is a disinfectant spray and Bug Away that keeps those pesky mosquitoes away.

Cutting a baby's nails is not an easy task, I know many parents struggle with it, to be honest, I am really scared myself because I'm like the clumsiest person on earth and I've made some mistakes in the past like overcutting my daughter's nail but we've got to trim their nails because they grow so fast and I am worried they might scratch their own face which leads me to choose an easy and safe method to trim Mina's nails - JOYKIDS Nail Trimmer.



JOYKIDS Nail Trimmer is an electric nail trimmer, it makes trimming baby's nail safer and easier. The trimmer comes with six different grinding heads, three for children and three for adults, so it's not just for babies, I would say this product can works for the entire family, for hygiene purposes just remember to clean the grinding heads after using it.

There's also two features I really appreciate which is the LED front light and the quiet technology, If you find it difficult to trim your baby's nails when they are awake, try doing it when they are asleep, these two functions will help you do it quietly without waking up your baby.



Babies fall sick easily, if your baby is stuffed up they wouldn't know how to clear congestion this is where the JOYKIDS Nose Cleaner comes in handy. This electric nasal aspirator generates enough suction to remove stubborn mucus while not harming your baby's delicate sinuses, don't worry the suction is not too strong, I've personally tried it on my hands before using it on my baby.

There are two different nozzles sizes, molded of soft BPA free silicone and it will fit your baby's nose comfortably, all you need to do is insert the tip into your baby teeny nostril and release it to collect mucus. There are also two levels of suction to choose from and if your baby is playful like mine, just turn on the colorful lights and music, these will distract her so you'll get a chance to clean her up.



This product does a great job and your baby will have a better sleep which is important for them to fully recover from a bad cold. I've just tried it on Mina recently since she's having a cold, she feels so much better after having the stubborn mucus sucked out.

The JOYKIDS Bundle Blessing will make the perfect baby shower gift for parents who are expecting, it's currently on sale so go check it out at https://www.joylee.co/products/bundled-blessings

Babies sleep a lot, when Mina first arrive, she used to sleep really long hours in but it was fragmented sleep until I found her this pillow that she was really comfortable with and it helped overcome the common newborn medical problems that she had which were reflux and slight allergies on the skin. As she grew older, it helps relieve nasal congestion especially when she's down with flu.

So here is the pillow I got her, it's from Mamaway, the Medical Grade Hypoallergenic Baby Pillow. The reason why I choose this was to improved Mina's sleep as well as my own. I think most parents will understand the daunting experience of not getting enough sleep when the baby arrives.

Mamaway Baby Pillows are made premium medical grade foam which is naturally resistant to bacteria and completely free of harmful chemicals, which makes it a safe, natural and healthy choice for your baby. Even the pillowcase that comes with it has antibacterial function and it stays unchanged wash after wash.

The Mamaway Baby Pillow is breathable and absorbent thanks to its material, this keeps your baby sweat free and in case there's spilled milk or droll on it, it will be absorbed quickly. It can also regulate the temperature to provide optimal comfort for your little ones.

This pillow is also lightweight and portable, it can be used on a baby stroller, car seats and so on, don't forget to bring it along during your holiday! Of course, this will make a great gift during a baby shower, any parent will thank you for this.

If you notice my Instagram and IG stories I'm quite a fan of babywearing, I've brought Mina to many places thanks to the help of babywearing, we've been on a jungle tracking, shopping, gardens, parks, malls and the list goes on. Babywearing is my savior, it has given me full freedom to do what I want while taking care of Mina at the same time but I've been questioned many times about the safety of it, they always ask is your baby breathing well?



Let me share the T.I.C.K.S approach, it's a rule for baby sling safety but nevertheless, you should regularly check on your baby making sure the airway isn't blocked.

So these are the guidelines to follow to ensure your baby is safe when you babywear them but besides these rules choosing a quality carrier means a lot too!

So how do I choose a quality carrier? There are three main considerations I have, the positioning of the baby, comfort for both mummy and baby and price! Mamaway Ring Sling fits all the criteria and it's the award winning- Malaysia Best baby sling carrier 2018.  It comes in a variety of styles and colors, my favorite is the camouflage design which is what I got, it is perfect for both my husband and I plus its super affordable because it cost less than RM200.


Here's a Review of the Mamaway Ring Sling

#1 Correct Hip Development
Mamaway Ring Sling harness your baby naturally in the M position so that hips can develop properly while keeping you and your baby comfortable.

#2 Lightweight, compact and durable!
Mamaway Ring Sling is super compact, it can easily fit into your handbag. Using premium combed cotton it's lightweight and comfortable for me and the N66 double rings is super strong, it has undergone SGS test that it can lift up to 500+ kg

#3 Perfect for Newborns
This is perfect for newborns because before they can hold their own neck upright, this is a great solution because an infant insert will cost about the same or more. Having that said my 6 months old has adapted to it and enjoys being in it and it'll be suitable until she's 3 years old.

#4 Breastfeed on the go
When baby is hungry, baby needs to eat. Mamaway Ring Sling will give you the privacy you need, just use the extra sling fabric to cover while breastfeeding.


Overall I've been using this sling for two months now, mostly at home and it has helped me a lot with my house chores, it's easy to put on, just slide the sling through the rings and tighten it like a belt. The only minor downside is that ring slings are not meant to be used for long hours, you can but you'll need to switch sides every 30 minutes to make sure you don't put too much weight on one side of your body and I'm really bad with my left position which is why I hardly bring this sling out.

Mamaway Ring Sling is available at http://bit.ly/2PAlAdu they are having a promo now so it's RM189.90 instead of RM250 which is super wallet friendly so it's the perfect time to grab it for someone you know who's about to enter motherhood or if you're a new mummy looking for a affordable ring sling this will be a great option as well.
