Family Friendly Staycations!


Hello Readers~

During this Pandemic, we no longer have the freedom to travel liked how we used to.

So what else can we do to have to little bit taste of travelling... within our own country? 

Staycation!

These are the Family-Friendly Staycations I've experienced so far...

  1. Festive Hotel
  2. Marina Bay Sands
  3. Sofitel Singapore City Centre
  4. InterContinental Singapore
  5. Park Hotel Clarke Quay
(The hotels are sort by the oldest stay first, to the newest stay at the bottom)

1.  Festive Hotel 

September 2019

Festive Hotel has got a Deluxe Family Room that comes with a loft bed, spacious enough to accommodate 2 adults and 2 children.

But I didn't book that room because my girl was too young to climb up the loft and it will also be dangerous for her to be up there. So I chose a Deluxe Room (without loft) instead, and requested for a Baby cot!


The bathroom door is big enough for me to push in the whole baby cot, in case I need to shower or use the toilet and there's no one out there to look after her!

They have a Splash Pool, GREAT for toddlers!



I stayed in Festive Hotel before the Covid 19 pandemic, so there was still Buffet Breakfast served (Now I really miss self-service Buffet spread~).


Kids cutlery is available!

Sentosa is a great place to stay, with quite a number of entertainment! 

Can visit Universal Studios Sentosa or S.E.A. Aquarium too!

2.  Marina Bay Sands 

February 2020

Marina Bay Sands has a few different types of Family Rooms.

  • Family 1-Bedroom (Max 3 guests)

  • Family 2-Bedroom (Max 4 guests)

I ended up staying in Deluxe Room instead because we don't need a Family room for my 1.5 year old toddler.

At Marina Bay Sands, you can bring your kids to visit the ArtScience Museum, take a Sampan boat ride along the canal in Shoppes, Digital Light Canvas beside Rasapura and head to Far East Organization's Children's Garden!
 

My girl had a super great time playing and splashing at the play area, and best of all, it is FREE admission!

One of the must-experience facilities is of course, Marina Bay Sands' Infinity Pool!

There is no age restriction for entry.

The Infinity Pool is split into three sections: an Adults-only area, a Family-friendly section, and a dedicated Children's pool. There is also a Jacuzzi area.

There are also many varieties of dining selection in Marina Bay Sands!

Despite during this Covid-period, whereby no buffet line is allowed, their buffet breakfast was not bad. With one menu to choose your set meal from (limited to one set meal per pax), and another menu of unlimited free flow items which you can keep ordering from!

Stopping Lactation: Dostinex

Yes. I decided to give up breastfeeding.   Because it's eating away my sleep and health, mentally and physically.  People always say, " breastfeeding is the best for your child and try to breastfeed as long as possible, at least 6 months ". Well, it's easier said than done . Now that I've experienced breastfeeding, I'd really admire those mums who actually breastfed for months or years. It's so so so tough and tiring, I swear. For those who don't understand and never knew what's the life of a breastfeeding mom...  Here's an example (newborn).  1am baby sleep. Mummy sleep.  3am baby cry. feeding time  (Latch: 30-40 mins. Or Bottle: 5 mins prepare and warm milk, feed 20-30 mins.) 3.35am burp baby. 3.40am   change baby diaper. 3.45am put baby to sleep 3.50am pump out (remaining) breast milk. 4.20am done pump. Prepare storage. 4.25am store breast milk in fridge. Wash up breast pump and sterilize. 4.35am Sleep....

Hospital Bag Checklist

The Hospital Bag Checklist for delivering in Singapore When should you pack your maternity hospital bag? Try to pack at least 3 weeks before your due date, as it's better to be ready-to-go instead of panicking when the water bag breaks unexpectedly or if the painful contractions finally visits you and by then you won't be able to think properly of what to bring to hospital.  What to pack in your hospital bag?
