Appliances ASCII Appliances that really helped me with childcare I couldn't live without this
What a 34-year-old man thinks while doing housework and raising children. A childcare leave column that spells out failures and emotions that don't appear in so-called daddy textbooks as honestly as possible.
Good morning, this is Ryo Morita from ASCII Home Appliances. Thank you for reading the childcare leave column "Entering male childcare leave". One month has passed since March 1, when I entered childcare leave. The weight of the baby increased by about 1 kg in one month after birth. For a few days after its birth, it felt like a newborn mammal, but now it has become a wonderful hominid friend. Wonderful home appliances that help us in our daily fuss. Today, I would like to introduce a number of home appliances that have become an indispensable part of our homes.
★F-YHMX120 clothes drying dehumidifier that you can't live without (*Discontinued, new product is F-YHPX120) Actual price 45,600 yen Panasonichttp://panasonic.jp/joshitsu /p-db/F-YHPX120.html
Dries 40 cloth diapers in the room
First of all, this is a dehumidifier equipped with a clothes drying function. Baby clothes, bath towels, cloth diapers, diaper covers, and other baby laundry pile up in the undressing basket at a tremendous rate, so you have to wash and dry it regardless of whether it's raining or snowing outside. If you wash it at night and turn the dehumidifier on, it will be dry by morning, so it is very convenient. If you dry it at a height of 50 cm from the air outlet and set it to "Wide" mode, the air blow width will expand to about 165 cm, so even if you have a lot of laundry, you can process it at once. Perhaps because I have too much laundry, I haven't been able to realize the speed drying, which is one of the selling points, and I keep turning it for about 5 to 6 hours, but it's still convenient. The driving sound is rather noisy, so I run it in the living room at night or in a room that is not being used (the bathroom is too small to put a clothesline). It's usually hot during operation, so it seems necessary to devise the room and time to use in midsummer.
As an aside, the reason I use cloth diapers is because my wife uses cloth napkins herself. Cloth napkins are different from paper napkins, and they are very comfortable to wear. On the other hand, when it gets dirty, it feels terrible, and cloth diapers can come off faster. Disposable diapers are not ridiculously expensive, and it is troublesome to produce a large amount of garbage, so I try to use cloth diapers when I can afford to wash them. Also, the design of cloth diapers is like wool pants and has an overwhelming cuteness. In the same way, we are starting to try a potty that can be used by zero-year-olds. It's called "childcare without diapers" (I think it's actually "potty childcare"), where parents read the signs of excretion and have them pee on the potty. It sure would be fun to be able to read your baby's signs. I have nothing but respect for my wife because she finds such ideas one after another from somewhere and puts them into practice. Funny person. thank you for always.
Kotoriworks cloth diaper covers are cute
★Poop will fall... Thank you Sharp... Ultrasonic washer UW-A1 Actual selling price 16,200 yen Sharphttp://www.sharp.co.jp/sentaku/uw/
Poop falls off with sharp power
It's a smart poop remover. The poop stains will come off easily. Even if you rub it with a toothbrush with detergent, it will come off, but the machine is overwhelmingly faster and does not require much power, so it is convenient. Just hold the small bottle-shaped device like a pen, dip it on the laundry lightly soaked in water and trace it, and the dirt will disappear like magic. Just like a glasses washer, fine bubbles generated by ultrasonic waves burst and remove dirt. I use it for pre-washing before putting it in the washing machine. Of course, it is convenient because it can remove not only poop but also coffee and soy sauce stains. It can be used at night because the operation sound is also small. The weak point is that the battery lasts only about 30 minutes, and it takes about 5 hours to charge. When the battery ran out after half cleaning cloth diapers, I used the washboard while complaining sharply that I couldn't write it here. Come to think of it, Sharp also sells washing machines with a pre-wash function. When the diaper comes off and you start taking measures against bedwetting, you may want that one next time.
★ Easy futon cleaning to guard against sneezing Ergorapido Lithium Bed Pro Power Actual sales price 53,800 yen Electrolux http://www.electrolux.co.jp
A lot of white powder of house dust can be removed
By removing the handy vacuum cleaner part of the stick vacuum cleaner and changing the nozzle, you can suck the futon. Since I started using it, my baby's sneezing at night has decreased. Well, there are factors such as temperature and humidity, so I honestly don't know if the vacuum cleaner is effective or not, but I think it's better to do it than not because it removes the white powder of house dust. The nozzle has a UV light irradiation function, and boasts a mite allergen removal rate of 98.1%. Well, the exam environment and the home environment are completely different things, so I say things like that, but I make them suck it like a wish. I'm also interested in futon vacuum cleaners from companies such as Dyson and Panasonic. By the way, I was told on Twitter that a futon dryer is convenient when it's time to get rid of diapers. I see.
★ A gem that is convenient for breastfeeding and changing diapers at night. LED portable light.
It's nice to have just the right amount of light, not too bright
My wife uses it to breastfeed and change diapers at night without waking my husband (me). I feel like I'm carrying around a lamp that doesn't use fire. It can be dimmed in two stages: bright HI and LO with a long lighting time. Even the dark side (LO) is enough light for breastfeeding and keeping records. It's just the right amount of brightness so that even a baby won't be surprised. Conversely, if you set it to HI by mistake, it will be too bright and the baby will be surprised, and I will wake up and everyone will be surprised. The upper part is hook-shaped like a hanger, so it can be used by hooking it on a crib fence. The battery is rechargeable and lasts up to 10 hours, so you can leave it on all night. I think it's convenient to use it as a bedside light when the baby grows up. I also like that it's made of resin, so it won't break easily even if you drop it lightly or hit it. It might be good to consider it for disaster prevention or outdoor use. I think it's a unique product.
★ PIPBABY microcomputer formula milk pot milk time pip sales end
An electric pot with a temperature control function is convenient
You can make milk in 40 seconds. After boiling the water and removing the bleaching powder, the water temperature is lowered to the appropriate level for milk formula. At first, I was using a fashionable kettle from Balmuda "BALMUDA The Pot", but when I heard the baby's cry, I felt sorry for the time I was pouring water from the faucet over the baby bottle to cool it down. I decided to use a milk formula pot. It takes about 90 minutes from boiling to lowering the temperature, which is a little troublesome, but basically it is convenient because you can make milk immediately by putting powdered milk in a baby bottle, pouring hot water and shaking it. For some reason it also has a function to keep warm at 95 ° C, so it may be used for coffee. To tell the truth, I got another electric pot called "Prepare Milk" from an acquaintance that has a machine because I had a baby bottle (also sold out). The shape of "actual feeling" does not match, and it is shelved. I might use it if I replace the baby bottle with a larger one. Recently, Tescom and Doshisha are also making electric kettles with hot water temperature control functions, so it seems like it would be good to think about when the baby grows up. Or rather, I want you to relax the distribution regulations for liquid milk.
A cordless hand blender is recommended as a gift
I also used a humidifier as usual. When it dries out, dust easily accumulates, which can cause sneezing. However, humidifiers are rather large and get in the way, and water management and maintenance are troublesome. Daikin's air conditioner "Ururu Sarara" has a humidification function, so you can kill two birds with one stone, so it may be a good idea to change the air conditioner (thinking when the purse strings are loose).
The home appliances that my wife's mom friend suggested as possible gifts were Seastar's nasal aspirator "Merci Pot" and Vitantonio's cordless hand blender "VHB-100" that can be used to make baby food.
Stylish nasal aspirator Merci Pot
VHB-100 convenient for making baby food
The baby can't rinse his own runny nose, so the nasal aspirator seems to be convenient. The "mama's runny nose totte", a device that removes a runny nose by putting it in your mouth and using a pump, is also famous. Vitantonio's stylish hand blender is beautiful even if it is left open. It's troublesome to take out and put away a normal blender or food processor every time you use it, and you can use it normally even after your baby grows up, so I think it's suitable as a gift.
I ended up writing too much, guided by a mysterious energy. The power of home appliances is great. However, there are surprisingly things that are not on the market even if you think you want this. When you run out of paper diapers and wipes, you can order Akachan Honpo online with the push of a button. A wearable device that knows what is good. People are said to be friends who come up with fun things, and it might be fun to buy a circuit board and make it yourself. See you next week.
