Baby Jan gets royal treatment

For the longest time, I had suspected that my darling wife came from New Zealand, but it wasn't till we started having an oversupply of breast milk in the fridge that my suspicion was confirmed... =P

We felt it was quite "sayang" to throw away the old milk in the freezer, then we found out that others were using it to give milk baths to their babies...so we decided to give it try; it was said to make the baby's skin silky smooth. *wow* And doesn't ancient royalty bath with milk too?

So here we were, baby Jan and I, getting ready for our first experience of milk bath.

Initially, when we put her into the milk bath, she looked a bit shocked.  I guess she was wondering "why is the bath water different in colour from the usual ones???".

It didn't take long before she overcame the shock.  She definitely had a great time! 

I did not find it as enjoyable though, 'cos the un-thawed milk has a smell to it, I think it is from the fatty parts of the milk.  The fatiness also make Jan and the bath tub oily after the bath, so we needed to wash both of them.

But well, if it does make her skin "smooth like tofu", then it is worth the sacrifice right? Hahaha...

 

Well, like the chinese saying goes, "All banquets comes to an end".  Jan, it's time to get out of the milk bath...
