My Life. My Stories

Victoria has her first oversea travel for her first time in life beside Singapore. Same for mommy. I had my first oversea holiday since pregnant. Victoria is 18months and turning 19 months in Italy. She took a long hours flight about 13 hours in first in her life time. We took Etihad airway, they have a dedicated stewardess to take care of children. But Victoria is too 'big' and heavy. So no bassinet for her. So she sleep tight with me. I guess she was scared and miss her bed. She cried on and off after she awoke and whenever she felt me moved. After the first day of enduring flight n jet lag, she started to know what is going on. We are on holiday. She started to enjoy travel and interest to it. She sleeps well at night and enjoy much at day. She likes gelato ice-cream and spaghetti much! She drinks her milk too. For baby: Grow: Her weight is ? and height ? No measure as no clinic visit. Feeding: Victoria likes fried mee, chocolate, cry hard for dried cranberry, drie

It is possible and easy to bring a baby less than 2 years old to travel at oversea. She knows what is happening and enjoying. Learn from it. We are surprisingly, it is quite easy, our luggage plus baby stuffs (milk, diaper, her clothes and a carrier), we only carry one medium luggage and small luggage plus a bag. Total weight is around 30kg for 3 of us .  We only bring a carrier and no stroller. Easy to move around with carrier. It was an enduring flight for Victoria, a 6 hours flight from Singapore to Abu Dhabi and 7 hours flight from Abu Dhabi to Milan by Etihad Airline. It is 6 hours behind Malaysia time. We landed at Milan 725am. It was an overnight flight, mummy and Victoria slept in the flight most of the time, but Victoria cried on and off when she awaken. No bassinet provided because she is too ‘long’ and overweight. There is one friendly stewardess who takes special care of Victoria. We started our Milan tour after we landed. It was a tiring day because

My little one is turning 18 months today. How far she goes in this 18 months? Mommy found that she is amazing! For baby: Grow: Her weight is 9kg and height ?. She is pretty tall now. Feeding: Victoria is picky eaters now. She left vegetables on her plate and will split out anything she does not like, like vegetables, meats or any big food. But she takes juices, French fries, sweet food, kuih and dried fruits . Mommy bought a slow juicer to make fruit juices for her every day and she drinks them. Mommy also get a food dehydrator to make some dried fruits for her as her snack. She loves them even the fruits are sour.   Started this month, mommy weaned her breastfeeding. I reduce the frequency of expressing milk during work day by weekly then follow by only latching. Victoria only latches on demand at night. Unfortunately, she still woke up several times over the night just ask to latch. She still refuse to take bottle milk at night or at home, so we bought her a new soft

Victoria is nearer to 18 months. She will be having her first oversea trip (except Singapore) to Italy. First time leave home for about 12 to 13 days.
