This was some time back, but Joanne Peh and her husband Qi Yuwu were spotted wearing the Baby K’tan Active in Coral and Ocean Blue respectively on her Instagram account (@joannepeh)! She posted a picture of herself bringing her little one out to run and errand, and one of her fans quickly identified the carrier as the Baby K’tan Active Coral! Her husband was seen wearing the Baby K’tan Active Ocean Blue while they were on holiday too. A little flash of the Baby K’tan Ocean Blue peeking out from under the blanket!

Being relatively new to Singapore, not many parents may be familiar with the Baby K'tan brand. It has been around for a long time though, and has picked up numerous awards along the way, and many mentions in the media. More recently, Baby K'tan was recognised again for it's innovative, user-friendly design. Editors from BabyGearLab, led by paediatrician Dr. Juliet Spurrier, put fifteen popular carriers to the test over the course of five months. Each carrier was tested assessed according to a stringent set of criteria including baby's comfort, baby's safety, ease-of-use, parent's comfort, and ease of cleaning. The carriers were given a thorough testing and put through real world situations.The Baby K'tan was named Top Pick for Use with an Infant.“As simple as they come when it comes to wrap-style carriers, the K’tan is quick and comfortable to use. It offers that close, secure hold which most newborns and small infants really prefer.”"Bottom Line: The Baby K'tan landed on top when it came to "wrap" style carriers for newborns and babies under 1 year old. The K'tan comes with the claim "A wrap without all the wrapping" and we found this to be pleasantly true. After struggling with fabric a mile long and complicated how-to videos with the Moby and Boba wraps, the simplicity of the K'tan brought a welcome sigh of relief. As much as we loved it with newborns and younger babies, we didn't like this carrier for use with toddlers because it didn't provide the necessary support."Source: BabyGearLab Baby K'tan Review (http://www.babygearlab.com/Baby-Carrier-Reviews/Baby-Ktan)Care.com also listed Baby K'tan as one of their 5 Best Baby Sling Options....

Mumpreneur - dare I call myself that? It's a term that I find being applied to me more lately. It's flattering, yet I think there's a long way to go before I'm fully ready and worthy of that title. Right now I'm just a mum trying my best to carve out something that will also allow me the flexibility to spend more time with my kids in the long run. And it's a bonus that I really like what I'm doing! A few months along since the start of this journey, I've found that one of the biggest challenges in being an aspiring Mumpreneur is juggling the kids and spending adequate time on the business. Because it really is so exciting to be building a business, and there really are a lot of nitty gritty things to do to keep it running, I sometimes find my mind wandering to my to-do list and new ideas, when really, I ought to be devoting my attention to the children. Being in the here and now. Unfortunately I suffer from a classic case of Mum's Guiltilitis. If I'm here with the kids, I think about my business and how I should be spending more time on it. If I'm doing some work growing the business, I feel guilty I'm not spending time with the kids. I spoke with several other mothers who started their own businesses and found that this is a challenge most of us share.I knew then that I had to go back to first principles! Why am I doing this? For the family. For the children. In light of that, I decided...
