[Review] Tommee Tippee PESU bottle

What is the baby feeding brand that you choose for your children? As a UK’s graduate, I have been using tommee tippee® since my first princess was borned. Why tommee tippee®? You might ask. Well, I do a lot of study before I buy.

Apparently tommee tippee® is the number-one brand for baby feeding accessories in the UK and one of the top brands of infant products and accessories in the global market. tommee tippee® remains one of the most trusted and recognisable baby brands in the world, loved by babies and recommended by generations of parents.

tommee tippee® offers a range of award-winning baby feeding, soothing and hygiene products. Another reason I chosen it was because of its rounded shaped teat, the original Breast-like teat that mimic a mother’s nipple when in the baby’s mouth.

Many people worried about the safety of baby bottles made with bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical used to make hardened plastic. And, the FDA has banned the use of BPA in 2012 from baby bottles and sippy cups.

Now, do you know there’s another BPA free material called PESU? I have tried the tommee tippee® PESU bottle for my younger girl recently. From my research, PESU is an advance grade of thermoplastic polymers known for their toughness and stability in high temperature, and can withstand a maximum temperature of 180°C (Normal PP bottles can withstand up till 110°C).

[Review] B&B Fabric Detergent & Fabric Softener

As a parent I know that babies’ skin is delicate and sensitive. Hence I am very careful when it comes to their body care as well as Fabric Detergent & Fabric Softener. I don’t use those harmful Fabric Detergent and Fabric Softener because I am worry that the leftover in their clothes will harm their delicate skin, I just don't want to take any chances like that ok.

On the other hand, as a mother of 2 daughters, I always prepare my girl’s clothes for passing down to the next sibling. My girls outgrown their dresses very fast, hence I would prefer to use a good quality fabric detergent & fabric softener to clean while maintain their clothes for a longer lifespan.

I have been using liquid detergent on their clothes because I find it tends to work better than powder for dirty and stains. Recently, I came across the B&B brand from Korea. B&B also known as Baby & Basic is the most widely used brand among Korean moms for infant-related household products. B&B baby care products are free of harmful substances and made of natural ingredients only. Every product has an ‘AIEGE’ logo attached to it that promises to eliminate 30 potential harmful substances as proclaimed by European Bureau of Consumer Unions (BEUC) and USA’s environmental organisation EWC (Environmental Working Group). Characterized by its iconic pink packaging, B&B ranges from laundry and household products such as baby detergent, fabric softener, soaps, stain removal, bottle cleanser to dental and infant care items such toothbrushes, toothpastes, cotton buds and cotton swabs.

This time, I have given it’s Fabric Detergent & Fabric Softener a try.

B&B fabric detergent (1500ml for RM52.90)

Made of 7 natural extracts including fermented bean, willow tree, portulaca, cinnamon, oregano, cypress tree, and root of skullcap, they provide the antibacterial effects and protects the delicate skin. Furthermore, it contains Murumuru fruit grown in the Amazon that has a natural cleaning effect.
