For comfort and convenience - Our top 8 PIGEON products {Review and Giveaway}

I have to say that we don't just own a single brand of baby products in our house. In fact, like most parents, we usually try out quite a handful of baby product brands in the similar range and then stick to the one which works best for us. However, there are some brands that pop up around our house more than others and one of the most prominent ones is definitely PIGEON.

I've been a faithful supporter of many PIGEON products for years and if you ever stop me on the streets and look into my diaper bag, it is 100% guaranteed that I will have at least two Pigeon products in it. Yes, I'm very, very sure of that. So, despite the fact that I do reviews and advertorials on the blog, I make sure that I only share with you things that truly work for us and benefit my family in one way or another.

In today's post, I'll be sharing with you a list of our top 8 Pigeon products and what I love most about them. Thanks to PIGEON Singapore, I'll also be giving away hampers to three lucky readers, so read on to find more.

A Happy Mum's Top 8 Pigeon Products

First, I must admit that I don't usually pump my milk. I mean, come on, I'm a stay at home mum and I am with my kids 24/7, so it is much easier for me to latch my baby on instead of having to sterilise, pump, wash, store and heat up. That said, I do make it a point to have a breast pump readily available at home because there will be days when you feel engorged or when you just feel like taking a break and let someone else take over the job of being mother cow.

Having tried out both manual and electric breast pumps before, I much prefer the latter due to the ease and convenience of using it. I love that the PIGEON Electric Breast Pump Pro is easy to assemble and offers a 2-phase technology - Stimulation mode gently stimulates the breast to initiate milk flow while Expression mode maximises milk flow.

With 7 adjustable suction levels and 4 adjustable suction speeds to choose from, you can easily adjust and customise your pumping style. How thoughtful is that, right? One of my favourites is the LED monitor which is easy to view and even comes with a backlight too! It also makes it straightforward for you to check how much time has lapsed, the current suction level and suction speed.

The best part of being able to effectively pump out milk is that I get to let the other family members try feeding the baby too. See? The sisters were totally ecstatic that they could take over Mummy's job, for once! Well, whether or not the baby actually wants to drink the milk is another thing altogether. Okay fine, I admit, he much prefers my boobs. However, I do believe that perseverance pays and more practice will make things easier over time.

Now, don't ask me how many baby wipes I use in a month, or even a week, because I can never keep count. Yes, this is one of my all-time favourite PIGEON products and you can be sure to find at least one packet of baby wipes or wet tissues in my bag at all times. I can't even begin to describe just how useful these are in keeping my kids clean, wiping off stains, cleaning utensils, killing bacteria and even preventing mosquitoes.

What I use most will be the PIGEON Baby Wipes and the Hand and Mouth Wet Tissues. It wouldn't be too much to say that I can't imagine my life without these lifesavers ever since I became a mum. The Baby Wipes are fragrance free, alcohol free, consist of 99% pure water and the Hand and Mouth Wet Tissues are microbiologically tested and made of 100% food grade ingredients. I love how gentle these wipes are on my babies' skin and that is why I've been using them for years now!

The MagMag All in One set has everything you need to train your baby to transit from breastfeeding to drinking with a straw. It comes with three interchangeable tops - nipple cup, spout cup and straw cup - for ease of training and helps babies develop their oral skills.

What's my favourite part about it besides the fact that it is all in one? I love that it is leak-proof and spill-proof! Yes, the water doesn't even come out when my baby overturns the bottle, which happens very often at mealtimes.

Now, I feed my baby homecooked meals everyday and anything that helps to ease my workload and make cooking more convenient is always welcome. The PIGEON Home Baby Food Maker comes with a dish with grater, storage lid, grating plate, squeezer, mortar and pestle, strainer and feeding spoon - which essentially allows you to grate, strain, squeeze, grind and store all with just one set of tools. How convenient, right? It also comes with a feeding spoon so you can feed right after preparation.

With a baby who is starting to wean and loves to try new food, the Home Baby Food Maker has come in pretty handy for us and I love how easy it is to grate and mash his food up nowadays. The food maker is also very lightweight and easy to store as the layers stack up nicely and doesn't take up too much space.

This has been one of my most loved baby products ever since day 1 of becoming a mum - a feeding dish that is easy to hold and comes with a non-slip surface and mashing dots for you to grind your food anytime, anywhere.

I cook porridge for the baby everyday now and sometimes, there are bits of fish, meat or chopped vegetables that are too big for his liking. This grinding dish has become indispensable whenever we are out because it just makes it so easier to mash up any food bits and feed him with the spoon that clips onto the inside of lid. I'm so thankful that he isn't a fussy eater and usually gobbles down whatever I cook!

When it comes to cleaning, I use the PIGEON liquid cleanser for baby utensils, accessories and even fruits. I love how it has anti-bacteria properties, contains 100% food grade ingredients to ensure maximum safety and best of all, it is very effective in getting rid of stubborn milk stains. Yes, I love using this to wash the nursing bottle for the toddler who still drinks formula milk sometimes.

I hope it's not just my babies who are always looking for things to munch on, regardless of whether they are teething or not. Starting from three months old, Asher has been trying to find things to put in his mouth and simply likes to chew on everything he sees. Thus, for this reason, he owns more teethers than his sisters. The PIGEON training teethers are one of his favourites because they are easy to grip, soft to chew and offer different shapes and textures. In addition, there are also the cooling teethers which are made of a soft material, BPA free, filled with tested sterilized water which is safe for baby and can be chilled in the fridge to provide a different sensation. How cute it is that he gets to chew on an apple, carrot and strawberry, right?

I've made sure that I bring along at least two teethers with me when we go out because this baby just won't stop munching and chewing (despite the fact that he has no teeth and can't bite yet!)

Lastly, we are currently using the PIGEON Baby Shampoo and Baby Wash 2in1 which are enriched with natural SAKURA extract to give extra nourishment. These products are hypoallergenic, safe for sensitive skin and comes with a tear free formulation. So far, they have worked well for us and I find that they are gentle on skin and cleanses effectively.

In addition, I love the handy travel pack which is convenient and comes in useful whenever we go for swims, staycations or overseas holidays. It isn't always that you can find shampoo or shower foam which are suitable for kids in hotels, resorts or swimming pools so I make sure that we always have our own with us just in case.

These kids look forward and love taking their baths everyday and I'm really thankful for that. Thanks to PIGEON for giving our family so much comfort and convenience in our everyday life!
