INGLESINA CLASSICA
Q&A about it
( in indonesian and english )
Q: what brand is your stroller?
A: inglesina type classica
Q: made in?
A: italy
Q: kayak yg raffi ahmad punya ya?
A: NO!!! Itu yg punya dia merk silvercross type balmoral made in england
Q: what the differences between silvercross and inglesina?
A: the difference is that silvercross is bigger, not foldable, 133cm in max large and 38kg in weight. The price is about 30million rupiah. inglesina is way smaller and foldable, only 18kg in weight.
Q: bedanya apa silvercross or inglesina?
A: bedanyaaa, silvercross lbh besar , tidak bisa di lipat, besar max mencapai 133cm dan beratnya 38kg dan harganya mencapai 30juta rupiah sedangkan inglesina jauh lebih kecil, bisa dilipat, and beratnya hanya 18kg
Q: is it difficult to push it?
A: once you are used to it, it's better than plastic stroller!!! Because the wheels are big, they can roll through all kind of ground conditions that the plastic strollers could not. It's also more comfortable for sleeping baby, as they said, they reduce noise inside too.
Q: susah ga dorongnya?
A: kalau udah kebiasaan gak susah ya dorongnya, dibanding stroller plastik! Soalnya rodanya besar jadi seperti sepeda, mau jalanan gubrak gubrak atau jalanan apapun bisa lewat dengan gampangnya, kalau stroller plastic udah nyangkut terus, dan juga stroller tipe begini katanya sih lebih gak berisik waktu bayi tidur karena meredam suara dari luar.
Q: where did you buy it?
A: www.culladelbimbo.it from italy and it's available in france or spain but by order and it takes 2-4weeks to order, while culladelbimbo have ready stock and send it for free between europe

Q: can you bring it to the plane?
A: never tried before, i only bring it and checking it as a luggage, yes possible , just fold it and wrap it.
Q: bisa bawa ke pesawat?
A: ga pernah coba, aku cuman bawa masukin bagasi, di lipat trus di plastic wrap
Q: can you bring it by escalator?
A: i never use the escalator with it since it is dangerous for a baby.here, i have never seen anyone with strollers use escalators, everyone just takes elevator instead! And its bassinet type, i dont think any mommy will dare bring any bassinet stroller and use escalator as its extremely dangerous.
Q: bisa bawa ga pake escalator?
A: ga pernah coba karena bahaya untuk bayi, disini aku ga pernah liat satupun orangtua yg berani bawa stroller naik escalator semuanya lebih ngantri lift. Dan ini tipe stroller bassinet jadi aku ga rasa ada mama yg berani bawa stoller basinetnya naik turun escalator ya.. Bahaya banget
Q: until how many months you can use the bassinet stroller?
A: its same as other bassinet stroller, only until 6 months, but coco just still love it, and it can hold until 20kg , so i just still using it while coco sit in it, and i add belt ( using my belt yes beltttt ) so its more secure
You can change it the bassinet to a chair too btw
Q: sampai umur berapa bisa pakai strollernya?
A: sama seperti baby bassinet stroller lainnya, sampai 6 bulan tapi coco sukanya sama yg ini dan tidurnya jg lbh enak, dan emang bs sampai 20 kg jadi aku cuman tambahin belt , ikat pinggang aku , jadi supaya lebih aman
Sebenernya ada bisa ganti ke yg tempat duduk juga kok.

Caption: in love with this Inglesina classica pram, after @alixcherry post's.
Actually been eyeing Silvercross balmoral and kensington at first, but they are not foldable and the size are sooooo big, i think even my suv car cant fit it. And i decide to forget about it. Case closed.
After simply one hours of browsing on inglesina and chit chatting with @yunikasiantar , its foldable and its much much more lighter and smaller.

@inglesinaindonesia
Now they have 1.500.000 idr discount til the end of october 2016 which is a big deal not much different to european price. And you will rest assure arrive in indo directly and you dont need to deal with the preoder ( which is mostly in europe need to preorder it ) shipping, taxes, etc . Or you dont need to deal to bring it yourself from europe which is it will be expensive if you dont have a baby with you , since it was 18kilos pram and seperates into 2 big boxes.

Caption: After so many drama with an airline finally i got me new one with toddler seat, which is surprisingly more easy to attach and detach it. And the toddler seat is extremely light 😂 slightly different colour compare the old one betulla, this one is vaniglia , a lil bit beige. And again i amazed with their big wheels ( after around 3 months using another stroller ) which is so light to push even in the sands. Which other strollers impossible can passed it.

4MOMS ORIGAMI
Who’s not WOWed by this video??
Literally, I was when I saw the video and decided that I want to have this stroller when I have a baby.

Caption: Drooling over the video?
Pros:
I like how I don’t have to use both of my hands to unfold it open or fold it closed, so this way I can still carry my baby using my spare hand. Moreover, I can also drag it just like a luggage, easy.
Cons:
It is very heavy. It weights up to almost 20 kilograms. The seat can’t be fully reclined, so it’s not suitable for early years baby (you can buy the bassinet or car seat adapter as optional) or if you wanted to go for a full day trip.
Caption: Guess I needed another stroller then?
I need a lightweight yet somewhat chic stroller! One that’s not so ‘plasticky’. I found this one. Well, it’s still 2 kilos over my preferable weight but I think having extra 2 kilos wouldn’t make any big difference, right?
MAMAS PAPAS URBO 2 ROSE GOLD
Review coming soon
I just bought this one!
Update: review :
I like the colour and the design, it looks luxurious! Even some people stopped me, in singapore and vietnam, to ask for the brand! So pretty! Moreover its the limited edition rose gold urbo 2. The adjustable leather handle is great for my husband because he is so tall.
And the seat is also comfortable, its big enough and its stable for even small baby because they have some curve, and for the baby to lean on comfortably, the foot rest works great. And i love how i can change the seat positions, facing towards the front or towards me.
Its also light compared to my other strollers!
Open and close system is not one handed. So you need two hands.
The things i dont like when i receive it, the back seat is so plasticky, compared to my other stroller, there is cover at the back, but not in @mamasandpapas urbo 2 rose gold
And the seat is at the full recline position is not "clicked" so it moves up and down easily.
Got some problem with this mamas papas urbo 2 , miscommunication between the indonesian seller and distributor , but all settled down now, and for indo, dont worry you have "Distributor guarantee for a year" but make sure first with your shop wether they have it or not.

CYBEX PALLAS 2-FIX
The good thing about this product is that you don’t need 5 safety belts to secure it like the usual car seat does.
They have what they call an "impact shield". As you can see, it’s basically a shield that you place in front and you can just secure it with the seat belt, that’s it. Additionally, it also minimizes the risk of your child from getting neck injuries during an accident.

Caption: Stokke steps
from bouncers to highchairs that are suitable for your baby since the day she’s born until she turns 5 or 6 years old.
Buying Tips:
It is recommended that you choose them wisely, no need to rush & buy everything all at once, instead buy one at a time according to your imminent need, frankly because they’re quite expensive.
It’s a good idea to get the bouncer first, then after three months you can get the chair. Later, when your baby turned around 7 months old, you can buy the tray and the seat. I don’t really recommend the seat cover though, as it might easily get dirty and then you have to take it off and wash it again and again. And its shrinked!! 😅 Better without too so its easy to clean it.

Caption: 1. Babymoov 5in1 Cookmaster
This food processor will steam and cook meals or make puree.
100% automatic: just set it on and let Nutribaby does the job!
It has 5 functions, right from baby birth stage: warms baby bottles and jars, sterilizes, steams, defrosts, and blends.
Bottle warming and sterilizing: it can accommodate up to 3 bottles at a time.
2. Dr. Browns manual breast pump
I told @drbrownsindo, my endorser, if the breast pump is not up to my expectation, I will not be making any review about it. BUUUT….
I wasn’t home when I first used the pump. I thought to myself, “Is this pump working or what???” I didn’t feel any suction at all. Strange!! I asked the customer service and they replied to me, "There’s no tugging, no pinching and no friction whatsoever. The design eliminates the "suck-and-release" technology found in many other pumps. It naturally elicits milk rather than extracting milk."
Then, I tried it again after a few seconds aaand amazingggggly…It’s working!! The milk just keep flowing and flowing without me feeling any suction at all.
From then on, I simply forget the other pumps, some of which hurt me so much that I need to administer lanolin cream all the time. This pump is also so much easier and lighter to carry around. I was amazed.
3. Dr. Browns Baby Bottle
As you know, Dr.Browns Baby Bottle is by far the best baby bottle on the market for reducing colic on newborn babies.
4. Haenim Sterilizer
Good thing about this product is you can sterilize not just bottles but almost everything else like, keys, toys, even phones you name it! Because, once your baby begins to play, you need to make sure everything is sterile & dirt free.
Compared to other steamer sterilizers that won’t dry thoroughly, which makes it easier for germs to grow, Haenim Sterilize utilizes a dryer system that will ensure 99% germs are killed by drying everything completely (but it doesn’t work for electronic appliances).
5. Avent Bottle Warmer
Nothing special about the product, it just comes in mini size so I can place it nicely in the bedroom.
6. Tommee Tippee Diapers Pail
No more smelly pails! It seals used diaper one by one and you just need to empty it once it’s full.

Caption: Best innovation ever!!!!
CADISENSE wireless termometer
For me it's really useful. i dont need to wake her up to take her temperature when she feels a bit warm. Normally you will take your baby temperature by armpit or ears or rectum , right?
This one, only that small round thingy, with a sticker at the back, put it under the stomach and connect it to my phone. The best is, im not worried at night because there is an alarm when the temperature passed 37.8 degree celsius ( you can set the alarm yourself ), and its automatic update every few seconds or you can double tap it yourself.
And in your phone, you can see not only the temperature but also a chart of your baby's temperatures. So you can open the chart and show it to your doctor without the need to remember.
I was worried if the wifi is dangerous for my baby, but this cadisense using rfid system (radio frequency identification technology) which is lower than bluetooth. And another thing i am amazed about is that the battery of the thermometer turns off automatically once you put it in its box and its up to 9years life battery, so cool!! Cadisense got a lot of awards because of their innovation, and a lot of the hospitals in Singapore are using it too. Not only baby can use it but also the adult.

Caption: I’ve used all these four products:
1. Mustela stretch mark care oil
2. Mustela stretch mark cream
3. Mamamio tummy rub oil
4. Mamamio tummy rub butter
I like the Mamamio tummy rub oil the best out of those four products.
Why? I’m not a big fan of creamy textures. Applying oily textures make me feels like I’m massaging my tummy more than anything. The Mustela oil is also good. Both Mustela and Mamamio oils have really good scents.
The one that I don’t like in particular is the Mustela cream. On the product description, it says that there is no perfume in the product, but I really can’t stand the scent, especially if you are sensitive to smell.
I used all of these products since the 5th week of my pregnancy.

Caption: I can vouch that these four products are a must in your hospital bag! I tried many other products but the ones that helped the most were these four!
PART 3 – POST BABY BIRTH PRODUCTS & REMEDIES
1. Hairdryer? Really?
My best friend talked me into using hairdryer. After giving birth, usually there’ll be some itching on your intimate area. It’s easier to dry that area with a hairdryer after showers, mixing the cold and hot air (gently). Using toilet paper can hurt & cause more pain, plus it won’t dry completely. But that’s not the case if you use a hairdryer. It works magic on you! So wonderful!
2. Tucks
If you have hemorrhoid during pregnancy (ambeien) then prepare for this!!!
This product doesn’t just help cooling it down, but also good for cleaning after going for ‘number two’. Women who have gone through this stage know how miserable hemorrhoid is!! You definitely need some soft cooling. So let Tucks does its job.
Where to buy: amazon.com
3. Perineal Cold Pack
This is the besttt pad mankind have ever created!!! Especially for new moms post-delivery!!! I recommended this to some of my friends and they told me that it’s the besttttt of the besttttt. It’s so comfortable! It’s not just a normal pad, but you can pop it, shake it and it turns cold!!! Well, not every hospital will provide you with this! Moreover, if you are not in US, they will just give you an ice pack, that’s too rigid for your body and they only wrap it with some piece of cloth, which can be disgusting. But with this product, there is a liquid-liked substance inside your pads, so it’s soft and cold. Do buy more than 24 pcs and if you have hemorrhoid buy even more. It’s says it will keep cold for 8 hours, but I changed mine every 4 hours because I had hemorrhoid and I really needed this cold thing! I do highly recommend this even when it’s heavy for you to bring it from US and can be quite expensive to ship. This is the best product that I very much cherished after giving birth.
Where to buy: amazon.com
4. Depends FIT FLEX diapers
This product is also from the US. I can’t find it here. It’s soft, absorb swiftly and flexible too. But please do not use normal panties and pads because it may hurt you!

2. Red Dates
Drink red dates and goji berries for 40 days, as a substitute for water, but I do cheat once in a while too.
3. No Shower
I’ve tried my best to not take showers, but I did. I showered once, two weeks post-delivery. Then, washed my hair 20 days post-delivery. After a month, I went back to my normal grooming routines for showers and such.
4. Ginger and Lemongrass
When I took a bath, I used water that was boiled with ginger and lemongrass or with Chinese medicine.

Caption: PART 4 – BABY SKIN CARE PRODUCTS
1. Buds Baby Bum Balm
I have this product way even before Coco was born. After her birth, the hospital taught me to use some other product like washing her up using sterile water as well as this one cream with a less favored scent. Until one day, when Coco’s only a few days old, she’s got some rash on her skin, oouchh. Then I remembered that I still keep my Buds, so I applied it to her to prevent further skin rash. After applying it twice post-diapers changing, the rash is completely gone. I still use it till today & my husband said this product is really awesome.
2. Buds Precious Newborn Cream
I tried this one soon after Coco was born. Because she stayed inside a bit too long, after the birth, her skin was really dry, from her face, hands & foot. First, we tried rubbing baby oil and even coconut oil allover the dried surface to no avail and then I decided to try this Buds out. Within two days, her skin got much better to the stage that it gets really smooth. Since then, I’ve always used this lotion till today.
3. Buds Head to Toe Cleanser
One day when I was playing with Coco, I found out that her scalp has this yellowish flakes that feels like dandruff when you scratch it. OMG, I almost panicked back then, this must be because of this (name the product) I’ve been using on Coco. So I thought I gotta try other products so I tried this Buds (they have tester too, I think I’ve switched too many products due to this testers LoL). After using it for a few times, the yellowish flakes vanished and till now, I’m only using Buds Shampoo & Soap for Coco.
I placed few bottles of this cleanser around the house, so it’s easy to use. One on the sink just for Coco to wash her hand & face, one in the bathroom to take a bath and one always kept handy in her traveling bag.
4. Buds Calming Tummy Rub
Yesss, I know, this is a result from another product tester if you know what I’m saying. That time, Coco was suffering from colic, so after breastfeeding, she kept puking, sometimes really bad till it splattered allover her face. As a first time mommy, I was really and utterly panicked, why she spewed so much. I tried rubbing her tummy with all sorts of oil to no avail until I saw the tester for this one and decided to give it a go too. It turned out good, twenty minutes after breastfed, I rubbed this oil on her, and she didn’t puke anymore. Thank God.
So now, after each bath, I always apply this on her as substitute to other oils. It even feels warmly good on our hands. That time, I only have the tester on me, so I tried using it bits by bits until my mom comes over few weeks later and brought plenty more of it.
5. Buds Mozzie Clear Lotion
Baby’s getting bitten by mosquitoes is like a daily routine for all mommies. Even in France there’s still plenty of mosquitoes in the summer. You only need to apply it to the area where the skin gets bitten and voilaaa, the bite mark soon vanish. It’s a potent lotion for mosquitoes bite mark and not just for babies, I even tried it on me and it works just as good.
Picture
Caption: PART 5 – BABY FOODS & DIAPERS
Formula Milk
Actually, I didn’t use a lot of formula milks, because I only used it during Coco’s transition period from breastfeeding to having formula milk. At first she was very hesitant, but once she switched completely to formula, it’s me who didn’t like the idea of the transition. That’s why Coco is still breastfeeding until she’s around 11 months old. Although, sometimes I mixed formula milk for her morning cereal, or when she’s with her grandmother or my sister.
For cereals and snacks, she eats variety of baby foods from Gerber products like cereals, puffs, yoghurt melts, cookies, and little crunchies.
For heavier meals, sometimes I mix fresh ingredients with yooji organic frozen food. There are plenty of choices from Nestle too. Her favorite meal is Spaghetti Bolognese or couscous.
Diapers
Initially I used Pampe*s but I didn’t find it to be a good diaper. The poop easily leaks most of the time plus the back waist area is the worst part, because there’s no elastic at the back of the diapers. Since then I only use Merries diaper, and now pokanan pants which is more hygiene.
which I always bring from Indonesia and stocked a luggage full of diapers every time.
For Those Asking About Coco’s Food Replacement to Breastmilk
According to the pediatricians here, food replacement to breastmilk can actually begin when the baby is around 4 months old but limited to fruits & veggies only. Once they turned 6 months old, only then you can start giving her rice, potato or other basic carbohydrate foods.
Coco started taking her food when she’s almost 6 months old, before that she’s on fulltime breast milk, with night intake drank from the bottle taken from earlier’s pumped breast milk.
Her portion mix is at 70:30, with the most being vegetable and 30% carbs.
What she really likes now is potato, carrot, spinach, brocolli, zucchini all boiled with some chicken meat. She’s also very keen on eating baby spaghetti, noodles, and tomato with minced meat.
PS. Though it’s her favorite meal but it doesn’t mean she eat the same meal everyday
She prefers food that has more texture so she can munch and chew the way she likes it, thus most of the veggies must be cubed chopped.
For flavoring, I usually prepare pre-cooked chicken stock or beef stock in the freezer, stewed with some garlic, onions, celery and some herbs to give in the flavor.
In the morning and the afternoon, I always slipped in some fruits along with baby yoghurt.

2months old: PCV ( pneumococcal conjugate vaccine ) and Hepatitis B
The product called PREVENAR and INFRARIX
4months old: another PCV ( pneumococcal conjugate vaccine ) and Hepatitis B
The product called PREVENAR and INFRARIX
5months old : BCG for tuberculosis
This one is not easy to find the product, we need waiting list to get this product
Im not really sure about the product name, its writen BCG SSI and i just know this vaccine is the old series of BCG vaccine, because the new one is not that good as the old one, so they called the new products from the market and use the old vaccine. The one which leave a mark. More old the baby more big the mark will be.
12months old: another PCV ( pneumococcal conjugate vaccine ) and Hepatitis B
14months old: immunization for measles, mumps, rubella . The product called PRIORIX
And meningitis C. The product called NEISYAC
here in france the doctor didnt have the product(s) for immunization, so we need to buy it in local pharmachy and bring it to the doctor to get injected.
