SM Baby Company's Grand Baby Fair Year 3

If you have been following my blog, you will probably notice one thing – I love going to Bazaars and Baby Fairs.  It’s not like I have gazillions of cash to spend but I actually like checking out what I could buy at a fraction of a cost.  One Mega Sale that I look forward to is the Baby Company’s Grand Baby Fair. 

Because we don’t have a nanny, we ended up taking our son with us to Megamall.  We arrived at almost 12noon on a Friday and was pretty surprised that there were already a lot of shoppers – contrary to what I was expecting.

Expect a lot of discounts from the exhibitors.  Playtex for one is selling sippy cups for 150php.  I would have bought one if my son don't have too much of these at home.  Avent is selling their standard bottle for only 300php and wide neck bottles for 600php (9oz) and 550php (4 oz).  Great prices if you ask me considering that they produce quality products.

It's a Candyland Theme.  Love the play of colors. 

Happy with his "Boobrush" from Sansflou

There's more.  If you purchase at least 3000php, you get a SWAG BAG with lots of Freebies inside.  Not all Swag bags contain the same items but anyone can be pretty happy with all these free goodies.

We went home that day with items that we came there for.  The items that we bought didn't qualify us to get the Swag Bag but I am sooo glad (so is my hubby) that we stayed within our budget this time.  Here's what we took home:

 Replacement Valves for my son’s sippy cup – bought it for 95php. Regular price was around 200php

Elle mini skirt for my daughter – bought it for 300php

Smart Steps Bottle Cleanser – A pack contains a 400ml cleanser with dispenser and two 250ml refill and a free bottle for only 262php.  When you buy 500php worth of Smart Steps products you get a Baby Bottle Keeper.  We don’t have a lot of bottles at home but I figure we could use the container to store other baby items like toys.

Smart Steps Disney Mosquito Patch – only 95php for 2 packs of 12 patches.  My daughter is crazy about Phineas and Ferb so we bought one for her.

Sansflou Toothbrush – 95php.  Their toothbrush is just adorable

Tiny Buds Scratch off – 143php.  Great for mosquito and insect bites.

Safety 1st Grooming Kit – FREE. Won this at the Grand Baby Fair. Yay!!

Don’t miss the last day of the Grand Baby Fair tomorrow at SM Megamall’s Megatrade Halls 2 and 3.  If you are an expectant mom, a new mom or a mom who’s in the look out for discounts (like me), head to SM Megamall later today.

Nick Jr. Playdate at the SM Mall of Asia

There's something to look forward this weekend.  After the Spongebob's Yellow Party,  Nick Jr.'s Playdate is scheduled this Saturday from 3pm to 6pm at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall. 

Entrance is free.  All you need to do is show up with your kids in tow and enjoy a fun filled afternoon.  The lines are usually long so I suggest you arrive at least 30 minutes before the said event.


See you there!

Breastfeeding Station at SM Bacolod

We had our vacation in Bacolod about two weeks ago.  What I usually do when I visit the malls is check if they have breastfeeding stations and where they are located at.  Not that I am not comfortable nursing my son in public, there are just certain days that I want to nurse in a more quiet place. 

I was quite pleased when I found out that SM Bacolod has their own nursing station located at the foodcourt.  If you had the chance to visit the breastfeeding stations in other SM stores in Manila, it will be very easy to conclude that "they all look alike."  So far I have seen SM Centerpoint, SM Mall of Asia and SM Makati.  The furnitures are the same.  The rooms have the a sink if you need to wash up and they have a diaper changing station inside.  I personally don't think that it is the best place to put the diaper changing station.  I mean you don't want to change your son's dirty nappy while the other kids are eating. 

Breastfeeding Station right at the SM foodcourt

The same comfortable chair that I see when I was in SM MOA and SM Centerpoint

As expected, the place is really clean but the only difference is that the aircon inside their breastfeeding area is not working.  It's pretty warm.  My son and I just stayed there for a good 5 minutes and I had to leave. 

Have you visited any breastfeeding station lately?  I wonder which one's the best...
