Breastfeed Journey - AMAZING

His current cloth size

Darwisy stock at Nursery

Darwisy,Me,Alin with her baby, Ku, and aira (Lunch Hour during BF time) The group BF that i called them 'BREASTFEEDING SUPPORT GROUP' I decided to BREASTFEED for many reasons, but the two biggest reasons were the health of my child and the money I would save doing it. And my husband was very supportive, as well. In preparation for my new role as a breastfeeding mother, I did a lot of research on the internet, bought numerous BOOK on the subject, and read as many message boards as I could get my eyes on! Still, I was not as PREPARED as I would have liked to be - reading about breastfeeding is quite different from doing it! I Returned to work when my baby was 2 MONTH old. By this time, we had turned a corner and breastfeeding was going much more smoothly. At work I pumped three times per day. My abundant milk supply has made PUMPING easy but because the BREASTPUMP is not as efficient as a nursing baby. One day I have to put Darwisy ad-hoc at NURSERY because of certain reason at that time and from there we meet a friends who has done BF. So I called them BREASTFEEDING SUPPORT GROUP. They are a few friends that I meet Azlyn, Lina, kuHaslinda, Sue and more instead I can’t remember their name. It changed my life. I know that sounds dramatic, but hearing the STORIES from other mothers, especially those women who were going through the same things or even experiencing much worse problems, changed my perspective completely. I felt proud that even though we were experiencing trouble, my baby was thriving on my milk. We weighed my BABY and I learned that he had gained .It gave me the motivation to keep going. By the time Darwisy was 6 months old, I had stored 50 bottle = 6ounces each of milk stashed in my freezer. Darwisy is turning one year old in a 2 month, and he weighs 9.5 Kg, which means he wears 24m clothing! He has taken slowly to SOLIDS, and milk is still the primary source of his nutrition. He is wonderfully healthy, and the happiest baby I've ever met. He now wiggles and pinches and stands while nursing. It is one more challenge to overcome in our nursing relationship - a relationship that I expect will continue until Darwisy decides he is ready to cut the ties to his babyhood. When he does STOP NURSING, I can honestly say I will MISS it!

Corak tidur bayi -1

Corak tidur bayi anda UMUMNYA, semua bayi tidur sepanjang siang dan malam — hanya bangun untuk makan setiap beberapa jam. Jadi pasangan yang baru menjadi ibu bapa sukar menentukan berapa lama dan kerap bayi mereka perlu tidur.Tiada kaedah khusus untuk menentukannya kerana bayi tidak mengetahui antara siang dan malam. Mereka sangka perlu tidur waktu siang dan kerap berjaga waktu malam! Namun secara purata, setiap bayi tidur antara lapan hingga sembilan jam waktu siang dan kira-kira lapan jam waktu malam.Kebanyakan bayi terjaga beberapa kali pada waktu malam dan hanya selepas umur tiga bulan baru mereka tidur sepanjang malam.Oleh kerana perut mereka kecil, bayi terjaga setiap tiga hingga empat jam. Bagaimanapun, jangan beri bayi anda tidur melebihi lima jam satu-satu masa ketika berumur antara lima hingga enam minggu pertama.Sesetengah bayi yang dilahirkan pra matang perlu disusukan lebih kerap.Perhatikan pada corak tidur bayi anda. Jika bayi anda biasanya tidur nyenyak dan bangun mengejut, ia mungkin menandakan si kecil mengalami masalah seperti jangkitan telinga. Tidur bayi juga boleh terganggu akibat perubahan perkembangan atau disebabkan rangsangan berlebihan.Paling penting, jangan biarkan botol susu ada di mulut bayi anda ketika dia tidur kerana boleh menyebabkan jangkitan telinga atau tercekik.Seperti orang dewasa, bayi menjalani beberapa fasa tidur. Bergantung kepada fasa tidurnya, bayi anda mungkin bergerak aktif atau baring tidak bergerak langsung.Corak tidur bayi bermula ketika bulan terakhir kehamilan — tidur yang bergerak aktif dulu, kemudian diikuti dengan tidur tidak bergerak pada hujung bulan kelapan.

Educate our kids

If the kids are well behaved and very discipline, you should praise the parents for giving them a great lesson. I believe we should start disciplining our kids from young. Not in a fierce way but FIRM. NO means NO and if they really want something, of course we can give that something to them but we need something in return too :)My parents are perfect example. My siblings and I were taught on never to leave unwashed dishes in the sink, never to lay our clothes everywhere, never to leave our used cups, plates, spoons etc (especially with leftover in it) overnight, we were taught on how to make our own beds every morning, clean our rooms frequently and ensure that everything is in place. That is why I am just taught to be that way and of course there were times when we just don't feel like doing all those things but we know our limits. As we grow older, we know what we should and should not do without having to trouble other people. The reason why I’m writing this, I think parents play the main role in developing their kids. If the kids grow up to be lazy and not discipline enough, My parents are perfect example. My siblings and I were taught on never to leave unwashed dishes in the sink, never to lay our clothes everywhere, never to leave our used cups, plates, spoons etc (especially with leftover in it) overnight, we were taught on how to make our own beds every morning, clean our rooms frequently and ensure that everything is in place. That is why I am very fussy when it come to all these. My ‘Sibling’ (Ayah Teh & ayah Su brother) being a guy is not too bad too. Mind you we are not perfectionists or anything, we just taught to be that way and of course there were times when we just don't feel like doing all those things but we know our limits. As we grow older, we know what we should and should not do without having to trouble other people. We should not blame the children at all instead we MUST blame the parents. I’m not a perfect parent and there’s so much for me to learn but I will try my very best not to spoil my kid so in future she will not burden anyone else. I will remind her not to follow any bad examples and Insya Allah, she will grow up to be a decent woman. 0 comments

Corak Tidur Bayi

Corak tidur yang sesuai untuk bayi Selama bertahun-tahun bayi di Amerika Syarikat ditidurkan dalam keadaan meniarap. Di kebanyakan negara lain, bayi ditidurkan secara terlentang. Bagaimanapun, kajian mendapati sindrom bayi mati mengejut (SIDS) ada kaitan dengan tidur meniarap. Kini pakar sependapat tidur terlentang lebih selamat untuk bayi.Kadangkala boleh tidurkan bayi dengan cara mengiring, tetapi ia juga dikatakan berisiko tinggi berbanding tidur terlentang. Pakar melaporkan, tilam yang terlalu lembut, cadar yang boleh bergumpal dan selimut terlalu tebal (menyebabkan kepanasan) juga boleh mengakibatkan SIDS.Namun apabila mereka bangun, bayi boleh diletakkan dalam keadaan meniarap bagi merangsang pembentukan otot, mata dan mengelak belakang kepala menjadi leper.Jika bayi ditidurkan meniarap, mereka juga akan diletakkan di atas tilam lembut, jadi risiko SIDS semakin tinggi. Malah, ibu merokok juga sebenarnya meningkatkan risiko bayi mendapat SIDS.Sejak Akademi Pediatrik Amerika menyarankan semula bayi ditidurkan secara terlentang pada 1992, kes SIDS menurun lebih 40 peratus.Tidur terlentang mempunyai banyak kebaikan lain. Sehingga kini, tiada bukti menunjukkan bayi yang tidur terlentang mudah muntah atau muak, sebaliknya mereka mudah tercekik jika tidur meniarap.Saranan menidurkan bayi:# Pastikan tilam bayi tidak terlalu lembut dan dipasang dengan cadar yang tidak mudah tertanggal# Alihkan bantal, selimut, mainan atau barang lain yang lembut daripada katil bayi# Guna kain selimut yang khusus untuk bayi (ia berbentuk sarung kecil yang direka khusus untuk bayi, dipanggil ‘sleeper’) berbanding selimut biasa# Jika menggunakan selimut, pastikan hujung kaki bayi dekat dengan hujung tilam. Pastikan panjang selimut hanya sampai ke dada bayi dan sisipkan selebihnya di bawah tilam dengan kemas# Pastikan kepala bayi tidak tertutup sepanjang masa dia tidur# Jangan tidurkan bayi di atas tilam air, sofa, tilam yang terlalu empuk, bantal atau permukaan lembut lainMalah, banyak pendapat mengatakan tidur bersama bayi juga boleh mencetuskan keadaan berbahaya kerana bayi boleh tertindih. Justeru, ibu bapa disaran:# Letakkan katil bayi berhampiran katil ibu bapa supaya mudah disusukan dan mengeratkan hubungan antara anak dan ibu# Jika ibu memilih untuk tidur bersama (supaya mudah disusukan), pastikan bayi tidak ditidurkan dalam keadaan meniarap, jauhkan selimut dan jarakkan katil dari perabot atau dinding bagi mengelak bayi anda tersepit di celahnya# Jangan benarkan adik beradik atau orang dewasa lain (selain ibu dan bapa) tidur bersama bayi# Ibu bapa yang memilih untuk tidur sekatil dengan bayi perlu berhenti merokok dan tidak minum kerana ia boleh menjejaskan keupayaan mereka untuk terjaga dengan cepat# Untuk mengelak bayi terlalu panas, pastikan dipakai baju nipis dan tetapkan suhu bilik pada keadaan selesa. Dari semasa ke semasa, periksa dahi bayi anda bagi mengetahui dia tidak terlalu panas.
