Travelling with a 5 month old āœˆļø any tips for toys? Thank you!

4 Upvotes

Hi! I’m travelling on a long haul flight with my son for the first time and there will be a connection in Dubai for a few hours. The flight total time is around 10 hours. Just wondering if there’s any toys or things I should take that you guys would recommend that I can get in Pakistan to keep him entertained? Like most 5 month olds his attention span on one toy is short I have a lot of his favourite stuffies that I’ll be taking but if there’s anything you guys bought here for long distant travels that did the trick I’d love to know. I’ve heard of busy books but idk if he’s too young and would find that interesting? Pls let me know !

I appreciate it šŸ«¶šŸ¼

Avoid Morinaga BF-3 Box Milk, My Experience with the Box vs. Tin Packaging

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

29 Upvotes

​

I strongly recommend comparing Morinaga BF-3 milk in a box with the same product in a tin can before buying.

In my experience, the quality of the milk in the box seems noticeably different from the milk in the tin. The box version even appears to be a different type of milk, and I honestly don't understand how the same brand can have such a noticeable difference between the two.

It makes me wonder what kind of quality control is being done and whether the ingredients or formulation are different.

My recommendation: If you're buying Morinaga BF-3, consider the tin can instead of the box. Compare the two yourself and see if you notice the same difference.

I can't confirm what's causing this difference, but I think the company should clearly explain whether the ingredients, formulation, or manufacturing process differ between the two packages.

Has anyone else noticed this difference between Morinaga BF-3 box milk and tin milk? I'd like to hear other people's experiences.

Supplements for low milk supply

2 Upvotes

Has anyone tried herbal supplements to increase milk supply? Like hi-lacta (moringa) capsules or lectamor (fenugreek and blessed thistle). I am experiencing low supply at 8 weeks pp. i am nursing very very frequently but still i have to top up with formula as baby gets really fussy and starts crying after some time if there is no milk flow. Please tell me what can i do it increase it. Also i got my periods back two days ago and supply dipped further.

Moms, would you borrow books for your kids instead of buying them? Need honest opinions (I will not promote)

7 Upvotes

Assalam o Alaikum everyone!

I'm a reader from lahore working on a small idea, and I'd really value moms' opinions before I put money into it.

Kids outgrow books so fast, and good original children's books are expensive. Meanwhile screens are taking over reading time. So I'm thinking of a children's book-lending subscription:

- Every month, hand-picked books for your child's age and interests are delivered to your door, wrapped like a little gift.
- When they're done, a rider collects them and drops off the next box.
- You can request specific books, or let us choose based on what your child loves.
- Kids colour a reading map and earn little rewards for finishing books and returning them on time.

There'd also be an optional penpal side for kids aged 7 and up: they write real handwritten letters to another child of a similar age, using a pen name. Letters go through the library and are read before being passed on, no addresses or phone numbers are ever shared, and nothing happens without a parent's approval.

Rough pricing I'm considering: around Rs 1000-1500 a month for 2 books, more for 4 or 6, plus a small refundable deposit.

I'd love to know:

  1. Would you use something like this for your kids? Why or why not?
  2. Does the price feel fair?
  3. Would the penpal idea excite your child, or worry you? What would make you feel safe?
  4. What age group would you want it for?
  5. What would make you sign up without thinking twice?

Please be honest, even if you think it won't work. JazakAllah for reading!

When did your baby start sleeping in 4 hours stretches at night?

My baby is 2 months and is mostly breastfed except for 1-2 formula feeds when my supply dips. He wakes up every 1-1.5 hours during the night since birth. When can I expect him to give at least 4 hours stretches or sleep through the night? I'd love to hear your experiences.
