So here we go, the S-bottle from Difrax… Lexa has been testing a Difrax S-bottle out for almost 2 weeks and it has now become her bottle she prefers when having cartoon or reading time.

Here is Lexa, after I chased her all over the livingroom, with her pink Difrax S-bottle. She is a little runner and sometimes when the camera comes out she pulls funny-bugger moves on me.

I am also going to be packing it for our upcoming trip to Reunion Island – for the plane. It will be Lexa’s first time in the sky and I want to make sure that she is calm and comfortable. Plus who knows what the pressure in the plane might do to her normal bottles. I am actually also that confident that the anti-colic valve (read about it below) on this awesome bottle might make the difference that will spare the rest of the passengers’ ears.

This bottle is quite unique and has won several awards – plus it is the number 1 bottle in the Netherlands – so you know there must be something special about it.

Anti-colic

This is a biggie… The unique S-bottle reduces the risk of colic and allows baby to drink easily and comfortably. The valve system ensures a constant flow of air from the bottom of the S-bottle, without causing a vacuum. The air enters and stays in the bottom of the S-bottle and does not mix with the milk. This reduces the risk of colic, burping and vomiting.

It’s like the MacGyver of bottles

  • The bottle cap of the Difrax S-bottle is a measuring cup – 30ml and 50ml.
  • The bottle teats are BPA-free, odourless, tasteless with no risk of latex allergies. A teat for each phase of development is also available.
  • The body is ergonomic. Which means no vertical bottle between you and baby, allowing for more eye contact.
  • The anti-colic valve provides a constant, regular flow of milk and prevents stomach and intestinal cramps, reflux, burping and colic.
  • The bottom is detachable, easy to fill with formula milk or cubes of frozen milk.
  • The innovative S-bottle warmer heats baby milk to the ideal breastfeeding temperature of 37°C within 3 minutes.

Choosing the right Difrax S-bottle

The Difrax S-bottle comes in 4 sizes and 2 designs: Natural (170 ml and 250 ml) and Wide (200 ml and 310 ml). The Natural S-bottle is easy to hold and is quickly adapted by your baby. The Wide S-bottle is easy to fill with formula milk or ice cubes of frozen breast milk.

  • The Difrax S-bottle 170 ml is mostly used during the initial period.
  • Then parents change over to the Difrax S-bottle 250 ml (the most popular size).
  • The Difrax S-bottle 310 ml is the next step and ideal for milk porridge.

Lexa is learning to swim. We are preparing her to take the plunge in the sea this December. To help us along our journey Spurt send us goggles and a swim cap… which I’m really surprised stayed on her head.

Hats are not a thing Lexa likes. She pulls them off and throws them away with complete distaste, but… she couldn’t get her swim cap off (and it looked really cute). The goggles took some convincing but each time we take her to the pool they stay on a little longer. the first day we left the protective film on the goggles because we knew they were going to fly… but since then we have removed the film and she wears them for short periods.

I think it is wonderful to teach your child to swim when they are very young. I wasn’t that fortunate… my mom doesn’t swim and I never really got into being a swim gala bunny – but I’m a pretty decent swimmer now. What I love about Spurt is that the kiddies gear is so colourful and (I really wanted the pink swim goggles) you can order from their website.

So… I have 1 Spurt set to give away to a lucky kid! In the set you will get:

  • Goggles
  • Swim cap
  • Nose clip

Plus – I will ship it to anywhere in South Africa and I will throw in a Christmas card!

  1. You have to follow Spurt on as many of their channels as you can – each counting towards some extra points
    1. Facebook
    2. Instagram
    3. Twitter
    4. Pinterest
  2. Name one accessory listed on their website and leave a comment on my blog post
  3. You have to follow me on 2 of my channels at least
    1. Facebook
    2. Twitter
    3. Instagram
  4. Every friend you tag on the Facebook post will be an additional entry
  5. Be subscribed to either my Everything4Less or Goddess newsletter (they are the same)

On interaction…

I really appreciate the readers that interact by liking a Facebook post, retweets or comments. I actually remember who interacts with me and when it comes to the competitions that reward loyal readers…

I also notice those that just come to my blog when there are competitions…

Just want to mention that I have a memory like an elephant. I remember EVERYTHING!

This competition is for loyal readers only – I know who you are. Just keep on doing what you are doing… I see you.

The prize will be a gift bag full of goodies and will be delivered to the doorstep of one very lucky loyal reader.

The stories I write

I know not all my articles are for everyone, but I do write under a broad spectrum of topics. If you aren’t interested in infertility and parenting, then maybe travel, beauty or even poetry is your thing.

I have a few exciting articles planned about my upcoming Zanzibar trip, new products I’m currently trying and much more.

Every year I say that I don’t want anything for Valentine’s Day, but secretly I always want just a little spoil from hubby. Sometimes his gift ideas hit the mark…and sometimes they spectacularly missed the mark. I really don’t like cut-flowers, but if you give a plant I will try to keep it alive. I love all the tech stuff he gives me, but sometimes a girl just wants a piece of jewellery…or chocolate…or nougat.

So this year I have made a list of acceptable presents:

  • Roses from Ludwig’s Roses
  • Charm bracelet – and not the old-fashioned kind, but rather the Endless Jewelry kind
  • Name ring – to add to my collection
  • Another Parker Pen – because you can never have too many
  • Nougat from Coach House or Wedgewood – because I like locally made products
  • A day at the spa – because seriously I need a day off
  • Taking the 3 am shift with the kid for a week

Not all gifts have to be spectacular or expensive. Sometimes just the fact that someone made a trip to a shop to get something you like counts – right? If that fails all the time – drop a hint for your other halve to spoil you this Valentine’s Day with Endless Jewelry – because next year he/she can just buy you another charm. Explore the latest Endless Jewelry charms and bracelets to match your personal style!

Endless Jewelry Competition

Now, not all of us will be so lucky to get gifted a piece of jewellery, but here is your chance to WIN your very own red Endless Jewelry bracelet with a beautiful heart charm.

…and the winner is MIA JORDAAN for your lovely entry using clovers to create a heart. Your entry stole my heart ❤️
