Our Daily Bath Time Routine and Skincare Solution for Dry Skin
Every evening, I bathe my twins, affectionately nicknamed our Apple Mango twins. However, by morning, their skin often seems dry again. During the newborn phase, we used body lotion on their faces, but our nanny suggested using a dedicated facial cream to prevent dryness. Their skin can get red and irritated quickly, and it's not just a matter of moisturizing; it needs proper care. My own skin is quite dry, requiring rich body cream even in summer, and my little ones are showing similar skin traits, with dry patches on their arms and legs. To address this, I decided to try the new Baby Skincare set from Cha&Mom, launched by CHA Biotech, a leader in Korean dermatology. Product Introduction: Cha&Mom Cha&Mom’s Baby 3-piece set is a new launch from CHA Biotech, part of the CHA Medical Group. While many baby body products claim to be hypoallergenic and moisturizing, Cha&Mom products stand out with a unique feature: PHYTOSELINE, a proprietary ingredient developed by Cha Bio. This ingredient combines key components from Lactobacillus plantarum and other beneficial bacteria, mimicking the "probiotic shower" babies experience during birth. PHYTOSELINE is a blend of PHYTO (plant-based), SE (safe eco), and LINE (forming a barrier), providing a dual solution for soothing and moisturizing. The newborn lotion, body wash, and cream from Cha&Mom are made with natural, plant-based ingredients that help form a healthy skin barrier. Interestingly, all three products come in 100% coconut-based biodegradable packaging, eliminating concerns about microplastics or environmental hormones from plastic containers. This ensures that the product remains safe for baby skin, free from harmful substances. Product Review First up, the body wash! Cha&Mom Baby Body Wash is 97% naturally derived, hypoallergenic, and mildly acidic to match the skin's pH. It is non-irritating, even if it gets in the eyes, which is a relief for a novice mom worried about soap getting into delicate eyes. The product is clear, watery, and fragrance-free. After the bath, it's time to apply the cream to Apple’s face. The cream boasts 72-hour moisture retention, perfect for my twins' skin that dries out within half a day. The texture is thicker compared to the body lotion, yet it spreads beautifully. Lastly, the lotion! It's ideal for applying all over the body, enriched with goji berry extract, jojoba oil (closest to skin's natural oils), and ultra-moisturizing shea butter. Packed with plant-based ingredients, Cha&Mom lotion keeps my babies' skin soft and hydrated.

Love my mom, but sometimes she can be a little too good of a Grammy (meaning she lets the kids do whatever they want lol). So, when we head over for fam dinner (which is often) or if I leave her with the kids for an evening, there are some KEY things I arm her home with to ensure easy oversight and not too many tantrums! Grosmimi Cup – if you haven’t heard this from me already, this cup is THE BEST. It is leak-free so it does not spill all over Grammy’s very luxe rug or un-baby-proofed home. I have multiples of this cup because it is just that good and my LO loves it lol. Extra set of clothing – because we know when our LO gets messy, he becomes OCD. We love this from Baby Rabbit – we like to keep one or two sets just in case my child decides to shower in spaghetti at dinner. It’s also perfect because we don’t have to worry about Grammy putting him in something scratchy and uncomfortable (a sure fire way to make him fussy). Teether – we are trying to ween our LO off the paci, so this Teether helps reduce some major temper tantrums. They come in a ton of animal options and colors – which double as a great toy for you LO. I also love that I don’t have to worry about bacteria gathering while they are at Grammy’s house because it is so easy to clean! Lovey – ok this is our version of a Lovey because our LO seems to gravitate towards these super soft hankies by Bamboobebe. They are $13 for a pack of 5 or $20 for a pack of 10 – which makes it really easy to have on-hand anywhere and everywhere when our LO needs some comfort. Plus, if we lose it, we don’t feel too bad about it. Thanks to zezebaebae, I don’t have to worry about my kiddos staying with Grammy!
Learn moreAllergy Season Life Savers
Snotty faces. Raw noses. Dry red and sometimes bloody patches behind the knees, back and everywhere in between. It’s tough being a baby with allergies and scary/frustrating as a mom when you see these ailments affect your child and have the urgent need to find solutions to keep all in check (if not at bay). Here are go-tos (at the direction of my doctor) which help my LO combat the dreadful repercussions of allergies. Morning and night I massage him with healing ointment and sometimes layer it up with a moisturizing cream. When his skin gets really bad, I apply a prescription hydrocortisone cream before ointment and right before I put him in his Babyrabbit PJs (to avoid him touching it with his fingers / getting it in his mouth). I typically shower him every other day (he is in daycare… and it gets pretty germy), but during high allergy seasons, I extend it to 2 days. I use Bamboobebe TokTok Face Towel (made of 100% Bamboo Rayon on both sides for ultimate comfort and absorption) and Bamboobebe Signature Bath Towels (made with the optimized blended ratio of 70% bamboo rayon and 30% cotton). I use both to soap his body, dry him off and to wipe the boogers from his nose/face. **All Bamboobebe products are tested to ensure no irritation for sensitive skin and are certified the strictest class of Oeko-Tex standard 100, ensuring products are free from harmful substances and are rigorously tested for pollutants and chemicals at every stage of production** Babyrabbit has my all time favorite pajamas for my LO since they are 96% cotton and 4% spandex to give him the softest coverage for his eczema. They are just light enough to keep him from getting sweaty but just cozy enough to keep him warm! Thankfully all of these eczema/allergy essentials are available on zezebaebae!

Learn moreSetting Your Husband Up for Success w/LOs
For all you mamas (and dadas) w/LOs, you know when one parent has a night out, meal & bedtime can be daunting for those at-home. So thought I’d share what I am doing today to set my husband up for success when it comes to my 18-month-old (see below… he’s cute … but can be quite the devil!). Setting out PJs – Does this happen to anyone else? Whenever my husband puts my LO to bed, I find him in the morning with the same outfit as the day before (jeans included!). So, I thought I’d nip it in the bud this time by laying out PJs along the crib railing. One of my new faves is by BabyRabbit ($29) – they are super soft. My LO has a serious case of eczema (especially behind the knees) and I find these are less irritating than other PJs we’ve tried. Also, my house gets really cold at night so I sometimes put him in this: BabyRabbit TeddyBear Vest ($30). The vest is super cozy and gives his feet the freedom they need. Meal Prep – If I don’t do this, my LO is going to be eating 1 of 2 things for dinner. Cheerios… or leftover Spareribs (the ribs are okay, but I would like to get something healthier in there). Before heading out for the night, cut up some cooked veggies, fresh fruit, cheese and some crackers, and place them separately into this suctioned, 5-compartment dish ($18.99). My LO hates when food touches. I left one compartment open for those leftover ribs (or whatever else my husband might be eating for himself). I also love that this suctions to our countertop . My LO will throw plates of food as if he is throwing a touchdown at the end of a tied game, and yes, he does a little touchdown dance too. Thankfully this puts an end to his career in food-ball. But if I skip this step, I guarantee he will be eating straight from the counter and I will come home to a nice big countertop mess. Love my husband, but like all of us, it takes a village plus some essentials to help ease the pain of being outnumbered by the kiddos (we have a 5-year-old too). Luckily, these lifesavers can be found easily on . zezebaebae (prep services not included).

Learn moreStreamline Baby's Mealtime Routine With These Hassle-Free Tools
Just when you’ve finally settled into a predictable feeding routine with your baby it’s time to introduce water and solid foods which is not only messy but also time consuming, especially for busy working moms. Creating an efficient feeding routine makes the process more enjoyable for parents and baby and makes sure baby is getting the nutrition he needs. Below are some tips to help make mealtime a breeze. Create a Consistent Schedule Babies thrive on routine, and establishing a consistent feeding schedule can be a game-changer. Set regular times for meals and stick to them as closely as possible. This helps regulate your baby's hunger cues, making them more receptive to feeding when the time comes. Organize Feeding Supplies Keep bottles, formula, breast pump equipment, and baby food organized and easily accessible. Having everything in one place reduces stress when it's mealtime. Invest in practical feeding supplies that are easy to store and clean such as the eco-friendly Grosmimi Stainless Steel Food Tray which features 5 separate sections that are deep and wide to prevent food from mixing and are ideal for serving different food groups. The plate also offers a silicone suction, so it locks down on the table for a mess free meal as growing kids learn how to feed themselves. If your baby is anything like ours then this will surely save you from multiple floor clean-ups and sauce-explosions. Prepare Meals in Advance Save time by preparing baby meals in advance. Whether you're making homemade purees or portioning out formula, having pre-prepared meals on hand can be a lifesaver during hectic moments. Plus babies are known to be impatient when they are hungry, meaning meal prep can significantly cut down on those dreadful baby meltdowns. Use Easy-To-Use, Leak-Free Cups Opt for feeding tools that can “grow” with your baby’s skill set and minimize work on the grown-up front. Grosmimi Straw Cup with Flip Lid offers innovative features like easy cleaning, leak prevention, and temperature control. Parents love this Cup because the narrow straw has a valve in the tip to slow the flow of water, milk, or juice plus you can remove the inner portion of the straw for those babies who are still lifting the cup up (like a bottle). A lot of new drinkers get a big sip of water and can’t control it, so this makes it easier. Choosing well-designed tools can significantly enhance your baby's feeding experience not to mention reduce the mess for parents. Introduce Self-Feeding Slowly – Don’t Rush It It’s fun to feed baby new foods but remember you are encouraging self-feeding to foster independence. Gradually introduce age-appropriate finger foods and utensils, allowing your little one to explore textures and tastes on their own. Start with one food at a time so your baby is not overwhelmed. This not only helps with motor skills but also eases the transition to solid foods. Pay Attention to Hunger Cues Pay attention to your baby's hunger cues, such as rooting, sucking motions, or increased alertness. Responding to these signals quickly can prevent fussiness and make mealtime more efficient. Create a Comfortable Environment Make sure the environment where you are feeding your baby is comfortable and free from distractions. Instead of putting baby in the middle of a busy kitchen with lots of noise and distractions try to create a relaxing space with soft lighting, soothing sounds, and minimal disruptions. This helps your baby focus on the meal at hand and promotes a positive association with eating. Streamlining your baby's feeding routine takes consistency, preparation, and the right tools but with a little preparation you can transform mealtimes from a stressful and frustrating screaming match to a fun and adventurous experience for you and your little one.
