- Phone numbers for doctors, insurance company
- Books to keep yourself entertained while you are recovering
- Snacks and plenty of water, for daddy to munch on while he waits and between meals for mommy
- Nursing privacy cover for the times when you have guests while baby is feeding (or use your baby sling instead)

Update for Malaysians in Motion, see Adrian in a LOFTSling

Remember our friends Ghani, Alison and 3-year-old Adrian? They started their journey on May 1 in Europe. The pictures are amazing, they have immersed themselves into the each culture and are meeting interesting local folks.

Alison continues to carry Adrian in a ring sling, take a look...

Adrian carried on Mommy's back to walk up a steep slope (on 24th May 2008)

Remember the sling can carry up to 18kg so even your toddler can continue to use it like Adrian, get your sling at The Baby Loft.
