It has been a busy period for me as my little one had started pre-nursery this year. ;) We plan to have more exciting stuff this year (such as nursery stuff like wall decals and prints) - so do keep a lookout!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As CNY is around the corner, so I thought it would be nice to share some inspirations for your little ones! Redfish Kids has some pretty unique fabric for cheongsams, including the <a href="http://www.myecobabe.com/girls/dresses/koi-mandarin-dress" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Koi Mandarin</span></a> prints below - isn't it gorgeous?

<br />
This is him at two weeks old! Oh gosh, I forgot how small babies used to be! :) We used the traditional Pigeon nappies as I wasn't aware of the various modern cloth nappies out there, but it definitely served its purpose anyway. <br />
<br />

<br />
Till now, Matty uses cloth nappies when we are at home or out for short trips, as he's not fully toilet trained yet. <br />

<br />
Modern cloth nappies have revolutionised nappy usage in recent years. Now, they are made of materials such as organic cotton, bamboo or microfibre. Such nappies are not only absorbent, they don’t require pins or liners and come in a wide range of funky prints!<br />
<br />
There are many pros and cons to using a cloth nappy, but one thing is for sure a baby has to use A LOT of nappies/diapers in the first one to two years. <br />
<br />
The good news is that parents will save big bucks if they choose a cloth nappy system over the single-use disposable alternative. These savings will also increase when these cloth nappies are used for subsequent children! Cloth nappies are also environmentally friendly as it does not contribute to landfills like the disposables. There has been debate about the water usage of washing the nappies which may outweigh the pros of the cloth nappies, so do weigh the pros and cons before you decide on a cloth nappy system.<br />
<br />
I personally find that cloth nappies are better for diaper rash as well, as it is made of natural fibres and probably because the nappies are changed more often. Sure, there have been leakages here and there, but that also comes with disposable nappies too. <br />
<br />
We have started using these modern nappies too - as I recently won a <a href="http://sgbum.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0b5394;">SgBum</span> </a>diaper in a giveaway. I haven't had the chance of taking a photo, but will share it as soon as I have it! Here is a good guide to the <a href="http://www.diaperpin.com/clothdiapers/article_differentsystems.asp" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0b5394;">various cloth nappy systems</span></a> there are! Didn't realise there were that many. <br />
<br />
So let's go green and join the nappy revolution! <br />

- This is a very functional and neat caddy and also fits the pigeon wet wipes box or tissue box perfectly.<br />
- It has a large drawer for storing bits and bobs, and that's where I keep all Matty's creams and stuff like ear buds.<br />
- It is also nice that it is BPA, Phthalates and PVC free. <br />
- Available at online stores in Singapore.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- This Charlie Bears organic cotton puppy dog is the cutest dog I've ever seen! Matty really loves dogs and would often harrass my mother-in-law's dog even when the dog is sleeping, so this is the perfect dog to keep him company when he's alone in his cot. Wish I had bought him a bigger one!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Not only are they safe for babies’ right from birth, they are made from certified organic cotton, with dyes registered with the Ecological and Toxicological Association of Dyes and Organic Pigments Manufacturers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- It's very cuddly even though it is filled with recycled stuffing made from 100% Post-consumer PET bottles.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
- Matty can't do without his Grobag sleeping bag at night because he moves way too much throughout the night for a normal blanket. All I need to do is to zip him up and switch off the lights! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- I think it also delays him trying to climb out of his cot. I am not looking forward to the day he can climb out, eeks!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
- I adore the <a href="http://www.lovemae.com.au/children_decals.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Love Mae wall decals</span></a> as they are super sweet (sorry, may not be so appropriate for boys but they do have stickers for boys too!).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- What I like about them is that they are removable/completely reusable and will not damage your walls.</div>
- The decals are made out of fabric and with that comes lots of positives. The fabric is a polyester weave with a water based adhesive which means they have no pvc’s, are bio degradable and are non toxic.<br />
- The designers keep the environment in mind and their products are sourced from local small businesses.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Available at online stores in Singapore.</div>

<br />
Here is my son wearing the <a href="http://www.myecobabe.com/boys/tops/lime-v-neck-tee" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0b5394;">lime v-neck tee</span></a> by <a href="http://www.myecobabe.com/shop-by-designers/go-gently-baby" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Go Gently Baby</span></a>. It is made of 100% organic cotton which is super soft, and has a small off-centered v neck detail. A rather understated style tee but ever so hip!<br />
<br />

<br />
The best teething toys are made of natural materials like wood as it is hard and gum-smoothing. I came across Little Alouette, which specialises in handmade wooden teething toys. What impressed me was their beautifully crafted/safe construction and clever designs ranging from egg shakers to guitar teethers. They were also featured in Martha Stewart magazine and popular blogs like <a href="http://joannagoddard.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Cup of Jo</span></a>! <br />
<br />
These wooden toys are not only safe as they are finished with certified organic flax seed oil, but also encourages early motor skills and sensory exploration. Wood is naturally antibacterial and the textures, smell and feel of wood provides a safe and non-toxic sensory experience. This is definitely a great alternative to plastic teethers and best of all, it's BPA-free! <br />
<br />
Here is my son playing with the egg shaker!<br />

After going through the whole labour/recovery process and the sleepless nights, I'm still deliberating about No. 2. We've been blessed to have such an adorable boy, for whom I'm thankful to God for. There's no doubt that I do not wish Matty (i.e. No. 1) to be an only child. Sometimes, I wonder whether I will love No. 2 as much as Matty. Let's see when the time comes. :)<br />
<br />
But since we have quite a bit of girls' clothing and accessories in the store, I can't help swooning over them. I wish I had a girl to dress up! Boys clothes and shoes tend to be in blue/brown/green/grey colour scheme, so it is truly refreshing to see such burst of colours like the Joyfolie shoes!<br />

Are their children's toys safe? How about their clothes? It is time to look more closely at all the things our children eat, touch, feel and wear in their everyday lives. </span></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is a quick summary:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<u><span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Why organic?</strong></span></span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;"><strong>1) Fewer </strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>chemicals used: </strong></span></span></span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Normal cotton clothing typically retains harmful toxic residues, and can cause rashes, allergic reaction, skin irritation and eczema on sensitive skin. </span></span></span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We all know that babies' skin is far more sensitive than adults, so why not buy organic clothing for your little one?</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>2) Soft and comfortable for our babies and children: </strong></span></span><span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Whereas pesticide and chemically-treated clothing traps heat and prevents skin from absorbing adequate moisture—often causing rashes and eczema on sensitive skin, organic cotton is natural and breathable. </span></span></span><span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Children with allergies particularly benefit, as organic cotton does not have the residual toxic residues that linger on conventional cotton. Even those without sensitive skin find organic cotton more comfortable and kid-friendly. The longer fibres stretch as children grow.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>3) Less water/carbon is used: </strong></span></span><span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">Today, conventional cotton crops occupy about 3% of the world's cultivated areas but yet it consumes 25% of pesticides and 10% of insecticides produced in the world. </span></span></span><span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-SG; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By buying organic products you are also helping to prevent, water pollution, loss of biodiversity, and reducing soil fertility</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<u><span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;"><strong>Why wouldn’t you buy organic? </strong></span></span></span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;"><strong>1) The fabric lasts </strong><strong>longer: </strong></span></span></span><span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although organic clothes cost more, in the long run, it will be a better purchase as it is more durable than non-organic cotton. </span></span><span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While non-organic cotton generally starts breaking after 20 washes, organic cotton safely lasts up to at least 100 washes!</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: text2;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><br /><span style="color: #444444;">2) The fabric is gorgeous :)</span></strong></span></span></div>
