Review: Nursing Cover from Mummy's Love

Nursing cover is one of the essential items for breastfeeding mums.

My first nursing cover was a free gift from Mount Alvernia Hospital. I used it a few times and didn't really like it. The material is light and I had difficulty holding the cover close to me especially cause Aedan loves to kick & wriggle. 

The cover has a metal wiring and an adjustable strap. It's worn like an apron and the metal frame allows mommy to peek in from the top. However, the opening from the metal frame made me very insecure as it is big enough for passerby to peek in too. 

I was looking for a nursing covers that I can nurse without worrying that I'll be exposed. After asking around, I found Mummy's Love!






How to order?

Simply go to Mummy's Love Facebook page, choose the type of fabrics and fb message them to place an order!




How much does it costs?

Price: $28-$32 depending on designs and fabric (price inclusive of normal postage)

Postage charges: $2.24 for registered postage and $7 for courier service

Estimate time of arrival: items are received within a week via normal postage upon confirmed order. 



Unwrapping time!








The nursing cover is packed inside a translucent plastic bag with a ziplock. I have been using it to keep my cover whenever I bring it out.


What do I like about the nursing cover?


1. The nursing cover provides very good full body coverage. I do not need to worry about exposing my back when I pull up my top up to nurse.


2. The neckline of the nursing cover is big enough for me to put my head in to position my baby's mouth for feeding.

3. It has 3-in-1 functions. Besides using it as nursing cover, it can be used as blanket for baby/mommy. It can also be used as a shield for stroller!


4. The material, Cotton Jersey, is lightweight, soft and comfy.

5. It can be washed by washing machine and do not require ironing

6. Mommy can even pump discreetly inside the nursing cover

7. There is a wide variety of designs.




What do I not like about the nursing cover? 

1. It can be a little warm to nurse my baby in the cover at places without air conditioning. However, the heat is bearable for a duration of 15 mins nursing time.

After switching to the nursing cover from Mummy's Love, I feel more secure when nursing at public places.

So far, I have nursed in polyclinics, hawker centres, in a car, restaurants & mrt. I nurse whenever baby is hungry and I do not need to worry about finding a nursing room.

Monday Date @ Mediterranean Thai @ Chuan Park


Yes, it's time for another Monday date review. My hubby and I are trying to maintain our biweekly Monday dates.

Last Monday, I remember it was drizzling.
After work, we went to this restaurant which was recommended my our friends.
The restaurant is located within Chuan Park Condominium and they are opened for non-residents to enter just to patronize the restaurant. The establishment has a variety of cuisines including Thai and Mediterranean.

We only ordered the Thai food that day (got to watch our diet) but their Mediterranean Pizza is another must try!!

The interior of the restaurant is plain and unassuming.







The fact that it's hidden within a condo estate - plus the fact that it was pretty late when we reach there (about 8 plus) - the restaurant is pretty empty.

We tried their clear Tom Yam Soup, stir fried Tom Yam Sotong with Tom Yam Paste and Thai Chendol.

Their Tom Yam is really shiok and spicy! Especially the clear Tom Yam Soup.
So if you are not a someone who can stomach the heat, I don't recommend you to order these.
But if u are a real spicy foodie, then go for it!  Definitely a must try!

While we totally enjoyed the mains, the dessert was a little disappointing. The Thai Chendol is really sweet and very similar to our normal Chendol, nothing fanciful about it. Moreover, they served it with ice cubes instead of ice shavings so getting rid of the cubes from every mouth can be troublesome.


If you are interested to try. The restaurant is inside Chuan Park Condominium which is walking distance from Lorong Chuan MRT
Very convenient for non-drivers and people who want to avoid the dinner crowds. 

With love,
Evelyn

Monday date @ Saveur, Quality yet affordable



My hubby and I decided to go on a Monday dinner date to chase away our Monday blue.

I'm suggesting to him to make it our weekly affair!! No more Monday blue. 

Our first Monday date after marriage is to try this well know causal French restaurant, Saveur, which is known for their quality yet affordable food. 

They have currently 2 outlets, one at Bugis and one at Far East Plaza. This time, we decide to try the Far East Plaza outlet. 

We reached at about 8 plus and luckily, there's no queue. But the inside was packed. 

The restaurant looks classy and modern and my hubby likes the design and can't resist to take photos of the restaurant, or maybe me. Haha.

The first thing that come to our table is their menu which I have to comment. It's so cute!!
Like their cartoon duck logo and also their welcome note

The front cover of their menu


Love is patience, love is kind. 
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 
It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking. 
it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. 
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 
It always protects, always trusts, always hope, and always perseveres.

 So When was the last time u were moved to love? 

I'm moved by their food


For the first time there, we tried the chief recommendation.

Seabass @ $14.90

We'll definitely return to try their other dishes.
