I’m a huge fan of online shopping, and I’ve been buying my vitamins and Noah’s food from iHerb for some time now. I can shop at any time I like, spend hours mulling over which items to get, check reviews online, try products unavailable in Singapore, get better prices than what I can find in the supermarkets, and best of all, get them delivered directly to my doorstep.
After I gave birth, I continued taking DHA and multivitamins, as I wanted to breastfeed exclusively, and heard from my friends that I should continue taking my supplements. I wanted to continue buying them from my gynae, but was told by the nurse that I could just buy them off the shelf from pharmacies. I did the ‘auntie thing’ and started checking out the different brands at various pharmacies, comparing the ingredients, and calculating the cost of each capsule/tablet, before I made my decision. Someone suggested that I buy them online instead, and I discovered the joy of shopping on iHerb.
Here are some of my favourite items from iHerb. The calendula diaper cream is the most effective one I’ve used on Noah, who is extremely prone to diaper rash. I also particularly like the snacks I got for Noah, because they’re cheaper (and even cheaper if you buy in multiples of 4), and some aren’t available in Singapore. Most of the snacks come in a variety of flavours, but I didn’t list all of them down, so do take a look at the links I’ve provided, and check out the other flavours too. Noah is a very fussy eater, but he enjoys these snacks quite a bit. I’ve tried them as well, and found them to be very yummy!
