Baby On Board

Social media darling Kim Lim has a new (and very refreshing) take on life thanks to her beautiful baby boy. “It’s just not about me anymore,” she tells SUHANA AB

Baby On Board
KIM LIM IS on her phone. Expected, given she is one of Singapore’s biggest social media stars. But instead of updating her Instagram feed with a posed picture of her #ootd, Lim proceeds to record WhatsApp voice messages and sends them to a friend who has just given birth.

Turns out, she is giving her friend breastfeeding advice. “Yes babe, store the extra milk in the milk bag. Lay it flat in the freezer and don’t forget to write the date on it,” she dictates to her phone.

After a couple more exchanges, she looks up and apologises for having diverted her attention. “Sorry I don’t mean to be rude. My friend is new to this mum-thing and asked for help,” she explains.

Lim herself is relatively new to this whole “mum thing” but watching her dispense advice clearly and confidently, its clear the lady formerly known as a stylish young heiress has taken well to it.

“Motherhood is life-changing and if I can do that little bit to help my friends ease into their respective motherhood journey, I’ve done my job,” the 26-year-old says.

Hello Baby

Lim gave birth to her son Kyden Kho on July 18 last year. The arrival of her baby made headlines and surprised many — Lim had kept her pregnancy quiet. Even the way the news broke was rather unconventional.

Instead of an outright announcement, the baby’s birth was revealed when the national papers reported that Portuguese football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo had dropped in on her father, billionaire Peter Lim — not just for a business meeting but also to visit his new grandson.

Chaos ensued. Ronaldo’s fans got wind of his secret visit to the Thomson Medical Centre (TMC) and swarmed its main lobby. Security was called in to escort the Real Madrid play maker up to Lim’s room.
