台湾宝岛亲子游 - 如何选择航空航线

所谓好的开始就是成功的一半，所以如果旅行的开端已经是个烦人的开端，那么你就可能不会想要再度去亲子游了。 我们的第一次台湾游是搭亚航，原因是帮全家人买机票时我还没有怀孕（订票时大概有一年多前），所以没有法子只好add on infant。结果头痛来了。。。 头痛#1： 从槟城到台湾没有直飞，所以必须从槟城飞到吉隆坡，然后再转机到台北。要知道亚航的转机不是拍拍屁股拿个handcarry行李就行的那种，而是把所有行李都从机舱搬下，然后再check-in的那种，而且航厦里的工作人员态度又差，单单搬动行李和跑进跑出arrival/departure就要累死了，还差点给check-in counter的人气死。大热天气还没上到飞往台湾的机舱都已经满身大汗了。*累* 头痛#2： 航厦一点都不baby-friendly，虽然说在大马找不到decent的diaper changing room是很普遍的，但是起码机场也应该花点心思maintain一下，那个房间简直就像垃圾房，而且男性的外劳janitor整天进进出出（扫地倒垃圾需要这么多人这么frequent吗？？），真的很反感。虽说有隔开一个小的哺乳房，但是却不能锁的！而且他们随时会推开那扇门，而且不止一次，一点安全感都没有！Diaper...

Parenting: Phone apps for baby's first year

As more and more of our friends are promoted to parents, I am also kind of being promoted to become an advisor among the mommies. Midnight chats and SOS calls to help them through their bf journey and maternity rest is also a type of fun and I really enjoy lending a hand~  At this modern age where almost every mommy is going into the labour room with iPhone/Samsung in their hand, you should actually explore further on the available apps...

台湾宝岛亲子游 - 台湾亲子自助旅游全攻略

我们这十年里的旅行都是两个人的旅行，偶尔会约一约其他家人朋友，但是90%都是两个人。很庆幸我们不仅是couple，也是很合拍的旅行伴侣哦，因为很多夫妻也未能够享受一起旅行的（兴趣和意见分歧太大），所以不管什么样的旅程我都照杀。可以说 I married my best friend! 哈哈〜 怀孕时去了趟长滩岛（Boracay Island)，单单转机transit时间就有够头痛的了，从槟城飞到目的地就吃了差不多一整天时间。还好我去旅行都比较喜欢见步行步的，而且挺着肚子好多活动都不能参与了，只有份看，就试着体验另类的旅行，结果还是蛮享受的啦。 亲子游的最大挑战是爸妈的应变能力和能耐。它不再像以往的旅行般可以完全照着编排好的行程进行，而且极大可能会把你的心情搞得像过山车一样，所以很多爸妈体验了一次亲子游就投降了。还好两次的台湾游都难不倒我们，而且我发觉原来做了妈妈以后，脸皮会变得很厚哦，小孩大庭广众哭闹时也还得处之泰然。飞机起飞降落难免避免不了小孩呱呱叫或哭得稀里哗啦的，这也是一个大挑战，但是连续飞了几次，我也已经练得麻木了。哈哈~ 言归正传，为何会相隔两个月连续去宝岛呢？因为台湾的确是个非常baby-friendly的国家，政府还特别支持哺乳，所以顺理成章的就成为我们的target咯。结果宝岛游也成为了我的另类探索游...

Breastfeeding: Milk boosters

After 8 months of breastfeeding, it eventually comes to a time when the supply is fluctuating (roller coaster emotion and high working pressure for an engineer mom like me). So now I am eagerly seeking for milk boosters to continue breastfeed until baby turns 1 years old. My daily supplements still continue as normal, only that I consume more milk boosters ever since I started working - including food that I barely take if I have a choice not to...
