My Review on Rusch Babycook And My Apple Puree Recipe!

Just tried out the Rusch Babycook to make Apple Puree for Jayla and I love it!! Aside from the fact that it looks really pretty and neat, it works really well for me!! I decided to take a short simple video and post this since some friends have been asking me about my review on it. It is so easy to prepare baby puree and so convenient as I only have to wash 1 equipment only! And it is very easy to wash as well! Yay! Efficiency is important for me as I am taking care of my baby alone and cant leave her alone for long to cook. But with this I can easily and quickly prepare her food and even my soup whenever I want to! Steam Cook Blend, All in one!

My not so smooth and short breastfeeding journey

Everyone has been so hyped up about breastfeeding their babies and me as a first time mother was also very excited to join the bandwagon of being a breastfeeding mom. I prepared and bought both a electric breastpump as well as a manual breastpump, breastmilk storage bags, nipple cream, disposable breastpads, breastmilk storage bottles, attended a lesson on breastfeeding and did alot of reading up on how latching should be done, the different positions I can hold my baby while latching, information on how breastmilk should be stored and whatever else I need in preparation for my breastfeeding journey which I was so looking forward to.

BUT......sadly my breastfeeding journey was just not as smooth as I hoped it to be, and in fact I end up having to shorten this sweet yet painful journey.

At the hospital right after I gave birth, we tried latching my baby during our first skin to skin session but she didnt seem hungry and wanted to sleep instead. We tried again later on and she finally manage to latch on successfully for the first time. I was elated to see her suckling away til the pain kicks in. Yes PAIN! Oh my gosh! It was probably one of the worse feeling after going through a very painful labour.

First successful latch!

Diary of my first Pregnancy Part 5 - Early Signs of Pregnancy & Part and Parcel of my Pregnancy Journey

Suspect that you might be pregnant? You might just be right!

Here's my personal experience to share with all of you!

Thought I will experience morning sickness or nausea (which doesn't only happen in the morning, but can also actually happen in the afternoon and night!), or feel queasy and may end up vomiting all day long which is usually what MOST pregnant mummies experience during their first trimester and also what some of my personal friends experienced and end up going to the hospital frequently to be on drips due to dehydration. But NOPE! I did not experience it at all throughout my entire pregnancy! (Truly Thank God!!)

In fact, I did not have any tell tale signs of early pregnancy at all! I was even hitting the gyms, going for sauna and Jacuzzi sessions, exercising a whole lots and running all over the place when I was apparently pregnant but didn't know about it til I was about 8weeks pregnant! So thankfully my baby was fine despite me exercising so much and over exerting myself, jumping around alot and even being in the hot water jacuzzi and sauna which was apparently very bad for the fetus and might even endanger it!
