baby's comfort object

1 of the item from the shopping list for baby is a 'comfort object'. Hmm...is this really necessary?? I checked with my sister's friend who just gave birth not too long ago, and she said it's good to buy one.

Almost immediately, i thought of the Bean Sprout Pillow (although i dont think i had one). The bean sprout husks inside the pillow are actually "shell" (kernel) from bean sprouts that we can buy from the market. When newborn babies/infant are shocked or frightened, they will feel a lack of security and will keep crying, easily agitated, difficult to handle and maybe a sleepless night. This pillow will serve to calm them.


I found a website that sells them. There's many designs to choose from, and this is what Elvis & i decided on! ;)
Papa & Mama ♥ our little one!

I guess u can make your own too (or get grandma to do it), but imagine all that work - just too tedious! More info on the making of the pillow can be found on the website - from the filtering to drying to sorting and filling. And imagine all the "dao gei" (bean sprouts) one has to eat! Must be a big plate at every meal! Keke... ;p

Jo,
Must buy TWO! One's not enuff. If you happen to lose one, or need to wash one, then you still have the other for temporary replacement. ;) Valid reason to buy more right? HAha!
