Sweet and Subtle

Looking very nice children clothing and yet not too outrageous. Then proceed to Gingersnaps located at Raffles City 3^rd floor.

The clothes are super nice and not too loud; if you prefer this style. Of course, I have bought 2 pieces. A little pricey otherwise. However, I think it’s worth buying for my princess! =)

Cute and sweet stickers for priority seats

Recently, you can find these cute and sweet stickers pasted on the MRT walls behind the priority seats.

Stickers in pink and yellow features pregnant women and parents with kids respectively.

We have started noticing these stickers when we board an almost empty train. It also means that if the train is packed or if someone is seating on the priority seats, public would not be able to see these stickers. What a waste! Nevertheless, we still have big blue and white stickers high up on the walls to remind the public to be gracious and give up their seats to those in need; i.e. elderly, pregnant women and parents carrying kids.

Two issues that we have noticed :

1. People on the other seats expect the one who doesn’t fit the priority seats categories and have seated in the priority seat to give up their seats.
2. No one gave up seats to fathers who are carrying their baby but some will offer the seats to the mothers with the baby.

Weird????? Maybe, we need to fine tune our thinking, isn’t it? Whether which seat you are seating, it’s a virtue to give it up to someone really in need and not wait for others to take the first step. Why wait? What are people waiting for? Isn’t Daddy humans too. Don’t they need a seat too no matter how strong they are!!! It’s not a matter of the weight of the baby. It’s for safety reasons. What if the train jerks? Does the father, elderly and pregnant women be spared of being jerked?

We hope to see more kindness around. If you are a kind person, don’t be shy and show your initiative. If you are not, that’s really sad. We shall not comment further.

Mummy and Daughter Outfits by Modern Maternity

If you have a baby girl, you might like this. Imagine going out dressing in similar outfits! That’s something cool, isn’t it! I love to do that too!

At Modern Maternity, you get to buy matching clothes for Mummy and little princess. They come in blouses and dresses for you to pick!

This season, they have come up with designs using Japanese printed fabric to come up with cute little dresses and tops. If you want your daughter to dress exactly like you, they have some choices too. Or you can also pick outfits that use similar fabric and material but in different designs.

Either way, you will still get to dress as mother and daughter. Like the idea? Cost of daughter’s outfit from $35+ and Mummy’s from $55+ depending on what you are getting.

The good thing is that it has a rubberized or elastic back which you and your daughter can fit even if in a different sizes.

Daddies, do not envy. Your turn will come. =p

The Baby Bonus Scheme in a Nutshell!

We got some queries from friends and parents-to-be about the Baby Bonus Scheme in Singapore, so we at Embassy of Babies just wanted to share some information on it.

Let’s Summarize The Baby Bonus Scheme in a Nutshell!

Our Singapore Government introduced The Baby Bonus Scheme on 1 April 2001 and it was enhanced on 1 August 2004. The good news is that the latest enhancements on 17 August 2008 extended increased benefits to the first and second child and benefits to Singapore citizen children beyond the fourth child.

“All your children born on or after 17 August 2008 will also enjoy Government contributions in the form of a dollar-for-dollar matching for the amount of savings you contribute to your child’s Children Development Account (CDA). If your child is born before 17 August 2008, he or she will enjoy the Government matching contributions in the CDA if he or she is your second to fourth child.” Reference from source: https://www.babybonus.gov.sg/bbss/html/index.html

In a Nutshell, it is a cash gift of up to $4,000 each for your 1st and 2nd child and $6,000 each for your 3rd and 4th child. The point to note is that it will definitely help to lighten the financial costs of raising children for parents.

We had some feedback from overseas’ friends who shared with us that this is a great scheme and initiative from our Singapore Government and we do agree.

There you go, a Summary of The Baby Bonus Scheme in a Nutshell!

For your information, the CDA is a special savings account that you open at any OCBC Bank or Standard Chartered Bank Branch.
