MamyPoko NewBorn Diaper
As a first time mother to a newborn baby, there is a lot of things that I need to learn and surely I want the best for my child. Comfort is the upmost priority as we want her to get uninterupted sleep. We found out that MamyPoko is the best diaper in the market and as you may have read my husband’s post, we were given samples of MamyPoko Newborn Diaper to try out.
MamyPoko’s newborn diapers comes with a function which they call “Poo-Poo Pocket”. It traps Vicky’s stool so that it does not spread, it works wonders as newborn’s stool is watery and pastey. Through the Poo-Poo Pocket I am also able to see if she has pass motion without needing to open her diaper. At the rear of the diaper there is also a stool guard to prevent back leakage of stools and urine.
Another special feature is that when worn, the diaper does not cover Vicky’s navel area therefore protecting the area allowing faster healing. She has no problems with nappy rash while wearing MamyPoko diapers which is great.
MamyPoko may cost a little higher than other diapers then again, what is spending a little more for the comfort of the child and a good night’s sleep?

Sofy Body Fit
Sofy is a product by Uni-Charm especially for women. Sofy is the No 1 brand in Japan.
I remember during school days when it was that “time” of the month, when we stand to greet a teacher or to go somewhere, we will ask our friend “Got anything, ah?” or “Bocor or not?’. Now with Sofy, there is no need to ask these questions or wonder if there is any leakage because Sofy Body Fit is designed to prevent leakage as it fits to your body and absorbs quickly.
I just delivered my baby girl last week and I used Sofy Body Fit 35 cm. Although it says it is for night use, it can also be used during the day. As after delivery, blood flow is quite heavy and using Sofy gives me great comfort and peace of mind when I was in the hospital.
Most women are very loyal to the sanitary brand that they use and the most important element for them is comfort. For some it is cost, there are other brands out there which are cheaper compared to Sofy however, I would pay the little extra not only more comfort but also for less work. Why I say less work is because without leakage, one will not need to wash or even buy new bed sheets because of blood stain and in turn paying a little more saves even more; as the saying goes “Pay more for less”.

NewBorn Baby Diapers for NextGen Parenting Founders by MamyPoko
As we approach MamyPoko, we are greeted by really nice people and their marketing executives, Mr Chua and Ai Nah. They were even kind enough to straight away give us a few samples for our expected newborn, 2 months ago. They even gave us Sofy for Joanne (my wife) to use as nursing pads for newly delivered mothers who may have episiotomies (which will be reviewed by Joanne in another post in this review section of NextGenParenting website.)
That was before Victoria was born. And immediately after she was born, we put MamyPoko’s NewBorn baby diapers to the test with our daughter.
Here is our finding.
1. The diapers were easy to be opened to lay it out for the baby’s bottom to rest on it.
2. The flaps to wrap the baby was not sticky but effective, that means, no matter how many times you open and close the flaps of the diapers, it will still function without wear and tear.
3. The absorption rate of the diapers of the urin and liquid urea was high, and it allows our baby Victoria to be comfortable even at some times we forgot to change her diapers.
Mamy Poko, or its distribution company, Uni-Charm Corporation Sdn Bhd was kind enough to furnish is with a full pack of 52 diapers for Newborn. Typically, a newborn baby will be using at least 3 diapers per day, therefore, a pack of newborn diapers will last about 16 to 18 days.
It is known fact that MamyPoko is a bit more pricey than others, but with the comfort and also peace of mind that allows us, parents, (Joanne and me), to be free and do more work from home through the Internet and doing reviews (like this one), I believe that it is worth the premium price which actually was returned to us in the form of time.
Kudos MamyPoko!

Online Safety Software for Parents from Norton Symantec
Norton360
As parents, we are afraid of our kids actually going into websites which may be detrimental, both to the kids themselves, as well as the computer’s security as some websites are created to fish information through the Internet browser or install virus / spyware for malicious and harmful purposes.
Norton Symantec was kind enough to provide a sample copy for NextGenParenting to try out and we were amazed at what it could do. Centering on Security, Identity Protection, Backup, and PC Tuneup.
Apart from the comprehensive virus scan on Security category, Norton also provided a a toolbar in your favourite browser to fill in details into any online form easily while securing the information with encryption through the feature of Identity Protection.
On top of that, with a brand new license that goes with the software, you will also get a 2GB backup online storage, whereby all your files and folder, upon your configuration will be backed up as long as you connect to the Internet to the Norton backup servers.
Last but not least, it comes with the PC TuneUp feature that tweaks your PC for best performance as well as clean up unwanted registry entries.
As NextGenParents, we can even set the type and URL of the website to be blocked to protect our kids as well as the computer.
All in all, I think, this is a cool product for cool NextGen Parents like you folks. Try it out!
