The KL Babywearing members decided to meet up on the 17th October 2009 in conjunction of the IBW 09. We choosed The Curve as our meet up venue, hoping to avoid the crowd in 1Utama.
Gathering with some babywearing mummies
It is indeed great to see many young mummies nowadays are wearing their babies and toddlers. I just hope there will be more Chinese mummies will come out to show support to babywearing in public.
Posing for a group photo at the fountain at the end of the Weekend Flea Market
Initially we planned to walk over to Ikea Cafe but to our surprise, the place is sooo packed on that day! I think the group ended up elsewhere. We then went over to Ikea (boy, it was really hard to find a parking on that day) and got the kids a play tent 
Everyone fresh in green
Since hubby and I just got a new shirt, we decided to wear green on that day, except qiqi who refuse to be in a theme with us. So she wore a white dress with little red flowers and I told her she looks like Kakak’s (who was wearing red) daughter instead.
We were suppose to attend a neighbour’s open house, but we reached home late. Although I still see many cars around, hubby did not want to go anymore

I am starting to worry as my boys are now taking too much of my time. Instead of spending more hours in front of the laptop, now I have to chase them all day long. I can only run to my laptop once in a while to check and reply urgent emails/orders. Since my neighbour is hospitalized now, I had to send QQ to school myself and even pick up her and some neighbour’s kids. Sometimes I even take more than 24 hours to reply emails, which can be quite embarrassing especially when I am running on online business.
Updates on Mama Patch Ring Slings
Some new Designer Pocket Ring sling, order customized by the customers
I get more orders for Ring Sling with Pockets nowadays as compare to the silk (which is still my favourite). Guess it is more convenient to wear a sling with pocket so we can at least go “free-hand” as we ladies hardly has pocket on our pants. As we allow customer to mix match the pocket prints and the color of the sling they want, they can really amaze me with the combination of design they come up with.
Most recent order, Barnsling Zip Pocket on White Ditte (Nah…I just wanna show off my new hair color ) I think this Barnsling will look very striking on Black Ditte too. To find out more variation you can create with our Designer pocket Ring Sling, do visit http://www.mamapatch.com/category/ring-sling-designer-pocket/ .
Updates on Mama Patch Modern Cloth Pads
Not only I am crazy about using cloth myself, I get very hooked up seeing the beautiful colors and combination I can come up with my products. Just can’t stand snapping pics of the cloth pads (You will think I am nut if you see me frequently lining up the colorful pads at my main sling door for the light I need for shooting!!) Hmm…at least something of my personal creation which I am really proud off! See more @ http://www.mamapatch.com/category/modern-cloth-pad/
Recent Discovery
After using cloth pad for my menses almost a year, I sometimes cannot be bothered if there are unremoveable stains on my pads. I am still sceptical about if it really gonna grow bacteria in the between layers so I decided to open up an old pad to check. Guess what’s my finding?
As I do not bother to soak with soapy water (you see, I can change new ones as frequent as I want, hehe…) the surface sometimes leaves stains. When I cut it up, I am SO SURPISE to see that the inner layers (right to the bottom) is actually as good as new!! Wonder why??
Well, the answer is because blood (blood from any part of our body, not just menses) is easily staineable ONLY when it is exposed to air. It will be good to sun your pads on the line as sun not only kills bacteria (hey, our blood is sterile anyway, OK!), it works great as a whitening agent too. But even if you don’t, you can now be assured that your pads is really clean in the inside (see picture above). Don’t believe, go open up your pad and check it out yourself
Updates on Mama Patch Petite Wetbags
Worry about the messiness of using Cloth Pads during outing? Here, is the solution by using wetbags. Mama Patch cute Petite Wetbags are designed for your convenience of pad storage. With just our single zip wetbag, you can keep the soiled pads in the zipped area (with pretty colorful waterproof lining) and separete the cleans one on the outer pocket. Isn’t it conveninent?Check out more prints @ http://www.mamapatch.com/category/wetbag/
Now if you are still lazy about bringing home soiled pads from shopping for hours, just go out with your disposable and bring a cloth for change when you are about to come back. Otherwise use only cloth at home on weekends and nights for a deep and comfy sleep.
Now you do not have any excuse for using cloth pad, do you?

Don’t be surprise if you see pic of a man wearing his son on Mama Patch new product leaflets very very soon. All the while it was me, the mother who wear the boys but Jessie suggested that it is nicer to have men do the babywearing instead. Looks cool huh? Thanks, Jessie for your suggestion.

Dad wtih son in De Pastel Raw Silk Cool Winter
Nah…he won’t wear his son in public la since he has 2 maids (me and Kakak) carrying his boys. But I still like to put the boys on him just for my photography sessions. We wanted to try on QQ but she refuse

I am kinda anxious what kind of group will turn up for the babywearing workshop tomorrow, wahahaha!!!
If you have always wanted to wear your baby, but you just weren’t sure how to use a sling. Or if you think slinging baby is too hot and inconvenient, come along to this free babywearing workshop and see how easy and convenient it really is.
I will bring some extra ring slings along. It would be a good opportunity if you wish to try to wear your baby, or learn wearing them in different kinds of positions.
I anticipate that this is going to be a fun and informal workshop (coz hubby, maid, and 2 kids are tagging along!). It is more of a family workshop, so all babies, toddlers and even caregiver in the family are welcome to tag along.
*plus* All workshop attendees will receive additional 2 free Mama Patch Soft Flannel Wipes worth Rm10 with every purchase of a Mama Patch Ring Sling. Custom orders for Ring Slings are welcome too!

Me with a pose with cool Di-di
Can’t help but want to post this picture on my blog although I have posted it in Mama Patch’s blog. Among all the babywearing pictures that I have, this is my favourite! Thanks to Jaz from Two Pixels for her great photography skill.
The Kangaroo carry
It was also the first time of me wearing my boy the “Kangaroo way” (where he was sitted cross legged inside the pouch). This is obviously a better sitting positioning for him so that he could see the world on what is happening in front of him instead of being held facing me. Initially I was a bit sceptical to put him this way as I am afraid if his leg will be twisted, so he does not sit very long in this position.
But when I think back, they were being held on Tummy to Tummy position (whole body facing me with legs folded in the sling, sitting like a frog) when they were younger. Same, legs all folded inside the fabric. I was worried too initially, but thanks to Dr.Jamie, she assured me it is fine and in fact, little baby are suppose to snuggle securely inside mummy, instead of being expose in the air just like that. No wonder my babies were not willing to sleep inside their expensive twin stroller
It was only at about 5~6 months, carry them in sitting position (golden rule: bum lower than knee) with legs dangling out. Thank God their feet are fine, as of today. Obviously this proves that the “Mat Salleh” (western) way of babywearing is correct. *phiew*
*note: big 5-yr-old baby is not suppose to be sling by mummy anymore
As usual, our short session ends with a photo of QQ sitting in my sling. Excuse me for my chubby face and flabby arms. See, I always look better if I don’t laugh like that and hide my arms behind like the first picture, right? QQ was wriggling and moving here and there until I did not spread out the fabric on my shoulder sling properly!
If you wanna know what are the other positions we can use with a sling, visit more at my mama patch blog. See also how my sexy man was forced wearing his son, WAKAKAKAKA!!!
**Thanks again to Two Pixels, for this great session (*hint hint*…do check out on their photography package before they revise their pricing in May!)
**Mama Patch Ring Sling is also available at Tiny Tapir Baby, 3rd Floor Ampang Park, KL

Coming soon on Mama Patch (Sturdy and very cooling Raw Silk)
Name for this new collection? Have not decided yet…I am totally worn out. Time to take a break and look into the kids.

The event was great. A new exposure to me to learn the different types of carrier, besides meeting many expert babywearing mummies. Wish I have more photos to share, but dear hubby was so ’smart’ that he did not even thought of taking my photos after all the effort of dressing upÂ
Hence I came back and took tonnes of photos. Why? It is because I finally fit into my pre-pregnancy skirt again after abandoned it for almost 5 years (although hubby still complains I look BIG and FLABBY from behind!)
Modeling for the Mama Patch new collection, De Pastel Shantung Silk Ring Sling.

Should have put his hands in so that he would not jump out!

Sorry for the dark pictures. But after almost 10 months giving birth to the boys, I still do not look that BAD right?

Denim Patch Baby Ring Sling from www.mamapatch.com
I guess the above picture reveals all. The boys are getting into their 9th month. Very very soon, they will be able to crawl, then cruise and run! My maid and I have been wearing the twin boys since their first outing. Having bad experience with QQ, I somehow had a feeling that my boys will not settle well in their car seat or strollers. True enough, they do not (until today!)
Now, sling is a must wherever we go. Not only it takes their weight of my hands, it has also helps me a lot when I breastfeed them in the public.
Knowing the benefits of baby wearing, this practise has become so common and popular in advance country such as Japan and US. If only I can reach out to more mummies out there to wear their baby besides looking real good !
Hence, Mama Patch @ www.mamapatch.com is born.

Can tell what are the above? Haha…now everything about cloth fascinates me. From baby cloth diapers, and now I get obsess with baby wearing. How I wish my twin boys will not grow up so quickly!
There is still some loose matter to finalise, before I can officially launch these products on my site. *Please forgive me if I did not leave a comment on your blog. I am reading, I am still reading from my google reader*
How I wish I will be able to take a good bed rests…*really worn out*.
Got to go….brb again!
