alhamdulillah...1 year!

2008-09-17T08:45:00.006+08:00

asm to all mothers! alhamdulillah..alhamdulillah syukur ke hadrat Ilahi dgn segala pemberian serta kekuatan yg diberikan selama ini..with doa from my hubby..wafiy..family and friends off course.13 of sept or 1st ramadhan baru2 nih wafiy dah pun satu tahun. meaning i have been breastfeeding pun dah setahun.i couldnt believe it! tak sangke i can breastfeed for quite a long time.sebelum nih bile dgr org bfd smp 7 months...9 months...1 year..mesti rase cam wahh terrornye...tapi rupenye as time goes by mmg tak terase pun...tetibe dah 1 year.so i have another year to go insyaAllah.

frankly speaking mmg banyak dugaan dan cabaran for me as bfdg mother.actually ade dah 2 3 kali slipped my mind nak stop but i just couldnt do it...rase cam guilty conscious lah pulak...especially biler tgk muke wafiy.coz milk supply mmg ade..unless susu kering..thats a diff situation.kalo kering takla guilty sngt kan...haha.tp yg slipped my mind to is bcoz 1st dier gigit mase teething time...really3 hurts okay!!! mmg tahan jer.then dier cam bgn like every hour...nih time new born dulu la..tapi coz sumerang dok ckp mase kecik mmg camtu so sabar...then pulak ade one time i cam selalu ade skin infections yg selame hidup ni tak penah dapat so been taking medications so cam takut it effects wafiy tapi sebenarnye doctor cakap tak pun coz those medication is safe so tak jadi.the worst was i got milk abcess in june...really sakit smp doc nak operate...sngt3 skt.tapi doctors have been very supportive in terms of medical la..they said bile mothers bfd their babies...its like the very best time like nothing can compare...u can just forget all ur issues and baby boleh dgr n they even know our heart bit...they know what we are feeling inside...sedih ker..marah ker..happy ker..sbb tu kena bfd dalam keadaan happy coz nnti baby pun happy gak.and off course baby akan jadi close to the parents especially mother and hopefully they grow up being a good muslim child.insyaAllah.

many people ask me macam mane boleh tahan bfd...camne susu tak kering etc.well honestly i dont really have any secret or tips.but during pregnancy and even until now i always make doa so that i manage to bfd wafiy full term..meaning 2 years.its like a dream come true actually. reasons why ive been trying my best to bfd is bcoz..1st ...'setiap bayi ada hak ke atas susu ibunya'.. 2nd to give the best for wafiy as thats the best thing that i have.... 3rd being a fulltime hsewife give me the oppurtunity to bfd which not every mother got the chance to do so...4th it helps prevent many sickness and major women diseases ....5th its much easier coz tak yah g dapur buat susu...g jalan bawak susu...air panas etc..6th tak yah beli susu..so save duit..akakaka

i read somewhere...ade this ustazah cakap..mothers mesti ade niat utk bfd their babies and naturally Allah akan bagi susu tu available.take it as its the best thing u can give ur baby which NO ONE else can give.just be mentally and emotionally prepared to bfd and u can do it!!! physically pun kene jage gak la..take supplements etc.ive been taking habbatussauda' pills and i notice susu lagi banyak.

i think thats all for my bfdg story.thanks again to everyone especially all my friends who r also bfdg mothers...kak anum...aunty darling...aliaa..alia...aliyah...hehe i have lots of friends with the same name tapi diff spelling.congrats to all mothers yg dah pun berjaya! lets bfd our babies exclusively!!! we can do it insyaAllah!

salam..

Doa & Amalan ketika mengandung

2008-06-25T16:11:00.002+08:00

Melalui perkahwinan, manusia akan dapat mengembangkan keturunan dan memenuhi ketenteraman jiwa kerana perkahwinan yang harmoni dan sesuai menurut tuntutan Illahi, dapat memenuhi tuntutan biologi. Malah tujuan perkahwinan juga adalah untuk mendapatkan zuriat melalui ikatan sah di sisi agama dan undang-undang. Namun, tidak semua pasangan suami isteri beroleh zuriat setelah berkahwin. Ada sesetengah pasangan perlu mengambil masa yang lama untuk memperoleh zuriat dan ada juga yang tidak mempunyai zuriat sehingga tua disebabkan perkara-perkara tertentu. Tetapi perlu diingat bahawa semua yang berlaku itu adalah dengan izin dan kehendak ALLAH s.w.t.

Oleh yang demikian, mereka yang beriman dan percaya dengan ketentuanNYA akan redha dengan segala apa yang terjadi terhadap diri mereka. Akan tetapi itu tidak bermakna kita hanya perlu akur dan berserah dengan apa yang terjadi tanpa berusaha bersungguh-sungguh untuk memiliki zuriat. Dalam Islam terdapat tips atau amalan yang boleh diamalkan agar dipermudahkan mendapat zuriat yang baik dan soleh.

Pertama, bersangka baik dengan ALLAH s.w.t. serta berdoa dengan membaca ayat 38, surah Ali-Imran yang bermaksud: “Wahai Tuhanku! Kurniakanlah kepadaku dari sisi-Mu zuriat keturunan yang baik. Sesungguhnya Engkau sentiasa Mendengar (menerima) doa.” Al-Imam Al-Samarqandi meriwayatkan bahawa Nabi Zakaria a.s pernah merasakan baginda tidak akan mendapat zuriat sehinggalah baginda melihat anugerah ALLAH s.w.t. Maka baginda meyakini bahawa ALLAH berkuasa mengurniakan baginya anak. Tambahan pula, baginda memegang amanah menjaga kunci rumah Qurban yang diwarisi turun-temurun. Keturunan dalam ayat ini bermaksud anak yang sihat sejahtera dan berakhlak.

Kedua, bersangka baik dengan ALLAH s.w.t serta berdoa dengan ayat 89, surah al-Anbiya yang bermaksud: “Wahai Tuhanku! Janganlah Engkau biarkan daku seorang diri (dengan tidak meninggalkan zuriat); dan Engkau jua sebaik-baik yang mewarisi.” Ayat ini juga berkenaan dengan kisah Nabi Zakaria a.s. untuk memperoleh anak yang baik bagi menyambung zuriatnya.Amalkan membaca doa ini bersama doa dalam surah Ali-Imran tadi untuk mendapat zuriat. Selain itu berikhtiarlah dengan perkara-perkara yang dibenarkan syarak. Pasangan suami isteri juga dinasihatkan supaya memperbanyakkan sedekah, puasa sunat dan qiamullail untuk mendapat anugerah ALLAH s.w.t. yang hebat ini.

Bagi ibu yang mengandung, persediaan rohani dan adab penting semasa mengandung bagi menentukan tingkah laku anak yang bakal dilahirkan samada baik atau sebaliknya. Untuk mendapat anak yang baik dan soleh, terdapat amalan yang patut diamalkan oleh kedua-dua ibu bapa anak itu sendiri, iaitu:

Memperbanyakkan taubat dan istighfar. Ibu bapa yang banyak melakukan taubat dan istighfar, ALLAH s.w.t. sentiasa mengasihi dan merahmati kedua-duanya dan juga segala isi dalam rumahtangga termasuk anak dalam kandungan.

Berpuasa sunat. Khusus untuk suami, banyak berpuasa sunat atau sekurang-kurangnya semingu dua kali atau sehari pada hari Isnin dan Khamis atau salah satu daripada hari-hari berkenaan atau pada hari-hari putih (13, 14 dan 15 bulan Hijrah). Perlu diingatkan, amalan puasa sunat cuma digalakkan dilakukan oleh suami atau bapa (bagi anak) sahaja seperti mana dilakukan oleh Nabi Zakaria a.s. Bagi ibu, sekiranya tidak memberi kesan kepada kesihatan bayi dalam kandungan bolehlah diamalkan.

Tidak bercakap yang sia-sia. Ketika isteri sedang mengandung, suami seboleh-bolehnya tidak bercakap yang sia-sia, lebih-lebih lagi yang boleh mendatangkan dosa seperti mengumpat, menfitnah dan sebagainya. Sebaliknya, basahilah lidah dengan berzikir dan bertahmid atau bercakap yang mendatangkan faedah.

Banyak berdoa. Sentiasa berdoa agar ALLAH s.w.t. mengurniakan anak yang soleh atau solehah. Sekurang-kurangnya setiap lepas sembahyang, bacalah doa khusus bagi ibu yang sedang mengandung.

Banyak membaca al-Quran. Secara umumnya, elok membaca al-Quran dengan semua surah, tetapi di sini ustazah mengkhususkan surah-surah yang dibaca serta kesannya.

Surah al-Fatihah - Untuk menerangkan hati dan menguatkan daya ingatan
Surah Maryam - Untuk memudahkan ibu bersalin dan memperolehi anak yang sabar dan taat.
Surah Luqman - Untuk memperoleh anak yang cerdik akal dan cerdik jiwa.
Surah Yusuf - Untuk memperoleh anak yang cantik rupa dan cantik akhlak.
Surah Hujurat - Untuk memperbanyakkan susu ibu da dan anak bersifat berhati-hati
Surah Yaasin - untuk ketenangan hati dan anak tidak terpengaruh dengan godaan syaitan yang mengajak kepada maksiat.
Surah Taubah - Untuk membersih jiwa dan terpelihara daripada maksiat.
Surah an-Nahl - Untuk melahirkan anak yang berdisiplin.

Dari buku tulisan Ustazah Nor Bahyah.

How to increase milk supply

2008-01-31T12:33:00.000+08:00

Asm to all..i got a few msgs tanye bile nak update blog…hehe ade gak org nak bace blog saye nih…terharu gaks..akakaka. This time we will talk about how to increase milk supply.

I know this consultancy called mamalink in Bangsar. You can actually go there but need to bring your baby so they can see how is your baby doing the breastfeeding then they will consult you on any probs. Tapi masalahnye appointments can only be made from Monday to Friday 9am-5pm. So utk working people susah skit. Anyway just drop by the webpage and c what you can get. Its http://www.mamalink.com.my/ best gak..ade stories etc. ade gak ingat cam nak g the classes sometimes. Sape nak ikut?? Ramai2 best skit. Hehe.

Heres are some tips:
-Drink lots of water,off course if you drinks milk jugak lagi bagus.
-Eat soupy food, eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Carrot putih & rebus kacang hijau minum airnye helps to increase milk.
-You should actually breastfeed your baby both sides…like 20min per breast. But then during nite time..try breastfeeding 1 side only. Then bile bgn terus pump the other breast. Mesti dapat banyak in a very short time. (tp cara nih tak bape bagus la..kalo terpakse ok kot haha)
-For me..drink juices and eat kurma!
-For working mothers…bile hari cuti breastfeed your baby directly..then ade time boleh pump and store. Kalo kat freezer can lasts 3 months. Don’t forget to write date n time!
-Feed your baby more frequently..the more you feed, the more milk produce.
-Massage your breast everytime mandi n after that terus pump. It works!
-Ade gak jual massager to increase milk flow. Don’t know works well ker tak.never tried before.

So sorry I don’t really have many tips on this. Must go and see ‘real’ consultant I guess. Hehe :) .You can get many infos from the internet on how to increase milk supply tp mostly not so much for storing.

Last but not least, remember…breastfeeding is a special gift and it’s a magic only mothers can do! So never give up!

Birth control

2008-01-09T23:22:00.000+08:00

I got a few questions on birth control/contraception/pregnancy control/family planning etc….all deliberate prevention of pregnancy. Hehe tetibe rase cam consultant la pulak.kahkah! just sharing what I know with others especially 1st time mothers.

I did asked some experienced people; read a few books, magazines and surf the net on this subject and heres what I got.

This info is from a book I read ‘Closer than A Garment’; Marital Intimacy According to the Pure Sunnah by Muhammad Mustafa al-Jibaly. Pliz be aware that there maybe some people who are not comfortable discussing this in public (on the net) but from my experienced many women out there who are very shy to ask about this but they need to know the infos, after all it is medical related issues.

Birth control methods can be classified into major types, each type including one or more individual methods as follows:

Barrier methods
Provide physical barriers that keep the sperm from entering the uterus. They include male and female condoms, the diaphragm and the cervical cap.

Hormonal contraceptives
Deliver doses of female sex hormones. This inhibits ovulation, thickens the mucus of the cervix to make it difficult for sperm to enter the uterus, and keeps the uterine lining from thickening so that a fertilized egg cannot implant in it. The doses are administered as pills, skin implants or injections. If im not mistaken this includes ‘implanon’ (where u put ‘the thing’ above your elbow). Org kata tak sakit. Tp depends on individuals.

Spermicides
They are jellies, cream, foams, suppositories, tablets or films that contain a sperm-killing chemical.

Intra-uterine device (IUD)
This is a small plastic device inserted into the uterus. It may be coupled with the use of hormones or other materials. IUD can interfere with the ability of sperm to fertilize an egg, and prevents a fertilized egg from implanting in the lining of the uterus.

Surgical sterilization
This includes vasectomy for men and tubal ligation for women. They are permanent and mostly irreversible forms of birth control.

Natural methods
These apply purely natural means for birth control. They include the ‘rhythm method’ and ‘early withdrawal / ‘azl’.

Abstinence
This is the avoidance of any sexual activity that could cause pregnancy. It includes celibacy.

Induced abortion
This is the termination of pregnancy before birth. It normally results in the death of the fetus.

According to doctors, if u r a fully breastfeeding mother, the best method to be taken is IUD or implanon. IUD wont effects ur period cycle but implanon does. If pills pulak kene amik exact time everyday..kalo terlambat ker ape habisla citer…haha.

Ade gak org ckp kalo fully breastfeed boleh jarakkan pregnancy...tp ade yg cakap fully breastfeed mothers sngt subur..so bile tanye2 mmgla betol..mmg subur coz ramai yg fully breastfeed anak setahun 1.so this is for u to think sniri…

Breastfeeding

2008-01-09T23:06:00.000+08:00

I didn’t expect breastfeeding would be very challenging. Mmg mase pregnant dah niat nak fully breastfeed my baby…alhamdulillah termakbul.until now dah 4 months im still breastfeeding. Harapan agar my baby punye body resistance kuat. And what I feel when being a fully breastfeeding mother is that people have high respect on u. Memule mmg terpikir kenape..now I have the answer. Rupe2nye breastfeeding ade byk challenges and memerlukan kesabaran yg tinggi. My respect to all nursing mothers! Don’t give up! U know its worth it.

Mmg challengeing, during the 1st 3months, baby akan sngt kerap minum especially boys…so sniri mau ingatla night time mmg bgn like every hour..alhamdulillah my baby wakes up every 2 hours. So honestly mmg you will never get enough sleep…mmg rase kalo dapat tido sekejap pun rase cam dah tido berjam2 coz lenanya tak bleh nak cakap. But that helps me to become a better person, kene byk sabar. Secondly I think that I don’t need my husband to be awake coz kalo dier bgn pun takde ape nak buat..unless kalo baby minum formula..than selalunye fathers akan bgn buatkan susu. So if breastfeed mmg u deal with the baby sniri jerla. Third, sometimes breast akan engorge, pedih, luke, kering n etc. Fourth, u will get extremelyyy hungry bile breastfeed baby. Rase cam puase 1 hari..what I do is sentiase ade kurma with me. Fifth, mmg taklehla nak keluar2 sesuke hati jer. Mmg kalo dah penat tu rase cam nak give up jer…tp kalo pikir2 balik..the baby deserve it…wajib bagi seorang ibu menyusukan bayinya (unless ade sebab2 tertentu) and baby tu pun ade hak ke atas susu ibu. Thanks to hubby yg banyak bg support and doa.

Kalo nak ckp pasal benefits of breastfeeding mmg byk..tgkla kalo ade sesape tanye. Hehe. Dah mcm buat assignment la pulak…challenges, benefits…etc…

Awal Muharram

2008-01-09T23:04:00.000+08:00

Hello to all mothers..awal muharram to everyone..hope this year Allah s.w.t will give us more barakah n shower His bless in our life. May everyone become a stronger Muslim and do kind to other human being, May all the bad things in this world ends especially towards children and women. Let us pray so that our country won’t face any catastrophe that leads to many diseases. Insya Allah.

Mothers list

2007-12-17T11:50:00.001+08:00

as i promised some of my friends nak bagi list for mothers-to-be,

just like the baby list, this lists were also made according to my needs and experience. its up to ur needs and view for u to decide. list nih jugak la yg i siapkan utk g hospital dulu.

1- Maternity pads..for me i bought 2 packs jer..actually yg heavy to the first 5 days jer...then after that use normal pads pun ok dah.in the market ade 1 brand tu ape ntah...color pink ade gambar lily.

2-Nursing bra or anything comfy will do. i bought 2 nursing bra tp end up tak pakai pun coz i rase cam muke baby terkena2 kat dier nyer clip so then pakai normal bra jer.

3-Breast pad of course bli jer banyak2..mmg gune pun......ade byk brand.

4-Kain batik dalam 5 lai kot..coz nak berurut etc.

5-House slipper coz org berpantang takleh sejuk2.

6-Baju yg senang utk breastfeed..either button depan or anything easy for u.

7-Socks..mmg everyday pagi malam pakai.

8-Sweater kena ade 1.

9-Towel

10-Quran

11-Tudung yg sarung jer..senang bile org dtg.

i think that should be it..yg num 9 and 10 tu i masukkan jer skali..actually bawak mase nak bersalin..if u have the chance mase nak bersalin tu..kot2 lame dlm labour room...dinasihatkan bace surah Maryam utk kurangkan sakit.ade ape2 nnti i tingat will add in later.

For the new born

2007-12-14T09:58:00.000+08:00

Dearie mothers-to be,

Here are some lists of things that baby needs upon arrival. This checklist is made through our experience and some observation also from books we read.

Baby’s stuff

1) Bedung – size besar daripada napkin, can get pigeon brand..ade yg dijual skali ngan towel around 20++. Kalo single dlm 12.90. u will need dalam 6 helai.

2) Barut – ade 2 jenis…1 yg ikat2 n lagi 1 yg pakai valcro. I prefer yg valcro coz yg ikat2 tu sometimes ternaik kene kat kulit perot baby nnti cam merah. This one I found tollyjoy brand kat jusco. U will need dalam 6 helai gak. Dier ade sizes tp sebenarnye lagi bagus kalo dapat jahit sniri..then we know exactly sizenye.

3) Towel baby- u will need about 3 pcs. Coz sometimes mase tgh lap2 baby..dier ter pee or poo. Hehe.

4) Small towels or yg size sapu tangan – this u need a lot…I can say 10 pcs coz bile breastfeed sometimes basah n kene tukar selalu. Now…kalo dapat towel2 kecik org kawin tu sume bg wafiy. Very usefull. I like Anakku punye..dier jual pack of 2..rupe dier cam kain kasa…white color.

5) Nappy – new born nappy ade Mamy Poko w poo poo pocket and off course Huggies. Kalo ade duit lebih bolehla pakai huggies…but poket really sakit la latest we saw mamy poko kat Anakku yg sesuai utk new born coz diernye design is made for clip pusat (afterbirth pusat baby diclip smpla dier jatuh sniri). These 2 brands yg we use tak bocor. Don’t ever buy Pampers brand..selalu bocor. Recently we tried petpet pun bocor gak. U will need 1 minggu like 60 helai. Crazy hah?!!! Kahkahkah.

6) Baby wipes – theres a few brand. If u want a good one..go for Johnson & Johnson. Wangi..very soft and mahal. Anakku punye cam cepat kering. i recently bought Carrefour brand…bagus..n reasonable. This thing beli jerla banyak2. beli gak small2 packs for traveling. Best if u can use water and cotton balls during day time. Malam jer pakai baby wipes..boleh jimat n lebih bersih for babies.

7) Cotton balls – this one I prefer Anakku punye…very soft. Nih pun beli jer byk2..mmg gune.

8) Baju baby- I love Mothercare punye ‘sleepsuits’ (baju yg sambung ngan seluar n skali tutup kaki). Dier jual packs of 3…mahal but ur baby will wear it like everyday, dier tak berbulu n tak turun color. The best thing is sometimes u can get mothercare nye stuffs kat Reject Shop! Cheaper off course. Org ckp new born nye baju tak yah beli byk2 tp kan when u see ur baby asik pakai baju yg same jer in about 3 months, boring gak….akakaka. sleepsuits at least 6-10 helai. Ade gak org ckp at least ade 20 helai. Actually depends..kalo cuci hari2 kurangla kan.. Kalo nak beli cam new born shirts pun ok gak…tp seluar new born mmg susah nak dapat so kalo nak pakaikan gak 0-3 months nye mmg terlondeh2.hahaha. I also like baju short sleeve yg ade button kat bwh tu (jumpsuits namenye) if wear that one can wear seluar kat luarnye. Org putih suke beli ‘Grobag’.kat mothercare ade..dier cam baju /sleeping bag yg takde lengan tu. They said it’s the best thing they bought! I don’t know why coz we didn’t buy.

9) Mittens – mittens mmg pakai banyak…lets say 10 pairs. Dier ade size..kalo tgk btol2 ade yg kecik ade besar..but they never write the size. Beli la mix besar n kecik. I prefer beli mittens jer..booties no need. Coz mase kecik booties asik tercicir jer. I like kedai baby kat Semuahouse. Macam2 ade, byk choice and reasonable! Best!

10) Baby socks- beli la byk…cam 5 really small one n 5 besar skit.

11) Toiletteries – belila sabun n shampoo kecik2 different brand kalo nak test yg mane wangi n best for ur baby..takut ade yg baby tak tahan ke aper.

12) Bathtub – bathtub kat jusco brand sweet cherry is about rm60. dier ade cam tempat baby baring in case the mother tak larat nak pegang. Preferably beli yg boleh pakai sampai 1 year camtu…bile baby boleh berjalan then u wont use it anymore.

13) Baldi – ape2 jerla utk basuh baju baby.

14) Gayung kecik – utk buat bilas baby.

15) Hanger kecik – utk sidai baju baby….i beli kat giant.

16) Sabun basuh baju – yg nih pun kalo dah sale beli jerla byk2 coz mmg gune. I like Nappikleen n pureen brand. Wangi.

17) Beg baby – bag ape2la yg sesuai utk bawak travel. Biasenye bile beli bag baby, kat dalam tu ade skali lapik utk tukar lampin so no need to buy asing.

18) Bantal – doctors said that baby shouldn’t pakai bantal yg tebal coz takut kalo dier pusing2 tak leh nafas. Theres Safe n Sound brand nye bantal around rm22....dier ade holes so that baby boleh nafas even dier sembam. Kat Anakku ade jual. Dier even ade 1 whole set of baby nye bantal..selimut etc.

19) Selimut – beli dalam 2 helai. Preferably yg ade hood coz baby mase kecik susah nak cari topi yg muat so hood really helps.

20) Topi - baby mmg kene pakai topi coz kalo kepale sejuk senang sngt kene selesema n akan membuatkan dier takleh tido n that means the mother pun takkan tido! Kalo jumpe topi yg stretchable belila 3 4. kat mothercare dulu ade..skrg tak tau.

21) Breastpump – ade byk brand but org sume cakap Avent n Medela brand is the best. I prefer manual pump coz tak sakit. I tried battery pump n really hurts coz dier cam kuat sngt. Yg letrik nye tak beranila…haha. Lupelak nak tulih breast pads…kat mothercare murah..100pcs only 39.00. Anakku punye 20pcs = 18.90. brand Bebe jgn beli..cam uncomfortable n gatal.

22) Gel gamat – why I put this on list is because..baby selalu kene nappy rash…and we tried nappy rash cream tp most of it end up to be too oily for the skin n ade yg melekat kat kulit n susah nak bersihkan. Gel gamat works and it can also be use for scratches or gigit nyamuk etc.

23) Minyak telon / bebiku – any brand will do. Utk baby bagi tak kembong perot n sejuk.

24)Jintan hitam – this one my mother in law pesan..beli n bungkus dalam kain n tuam baby kat private area, tapak kaki, perut n bawah ketiak etc each time after mandi utk elakkan kene angin pasang.

25)Cottonbuds- beli yg kecik punye utk bersihkan hidung n telinga baby.

26) Nail clipper – ade jual yg kecik punye. Beli single jer dah..coz kalo yg set tu u will only use the nail clipper.lain sume tak.

27) Here comes where to put ur baby…babycot, moses basket or play pan. Its up to u actually. Mmg cam excited nak beli baby cot but takleh pakai lame n tak de tempat nak simpan (unless u ade store) and mahal gak. Moses basket lak tgk yg boleh pakai lame…coz bile baby 2 bulan lebih dier cam nak gerak…tempat luas so basket agak terhad. Play pan we bought 200 lebih kat jusco..reasonable n boleh pakai sampai dier pandai panjat keluar from it. And also can bukak2 utk bwk travel. Kat Anakku, ampang point now tgh ade baby fair..pergilah check out the prices..skrg ade play pan mcm2 color.

28)Stroller / pram – nih pun ade byk brand in the market. Kene g survey. Depends on ur budget. Ade from 100++ smpla 4000++. Like us we plan not to buy normal stroller coz u will have to change it when the baby is getting bigger n bigger. So g survey betol2.. carik yg ringan n senang handle n also senang lipat and check boleh pakai from new born smp bape berat, and boleh recline ker tak.

29) Carseat – we really think car seat sngt penting. Coz long distance mmg lenguh kalo nak pegang jer baby n not safe jugak. Ajar baby dok dlm car seat since small so that dier dah besar boleh dok diam2 dlm keter. Mak bapaknye tak yah dok suruh dok diam2 dah. Ini pun ade yg new born n etc. macam2 size. Mahal gak so better buy car seat yg 1 set ngan pram.

30) Baby sling – if u want to buy…Baby Bjorn brand kat Mothercare is said to be the best. About 399.00. Ezul like baby sling coz he said mase baby kecik he prefer the baby to be with him dr letak dlm pram. So I think pram can wait cam dier 3 4 months kot baru beli. Tp like me..i tak larat nak sling the baby lame2.lenguh gak.

31) Bekas dadih yg plastic tu utk store milk kat freezer….can tahan 3 months. Jgn lupe tulis date n time u pump the milk. I bought kat chow kit 100pcs = 13.00. if u want let me know..bile2 pegi I can buy.

32) Bekas utk sterilize bottles and sterilize tablets. Kat Anakku ade jual bekas tu I think 29.90 n tablets too.

33) Baby box or any basket will do - baby box ade jual kat Mothercare..we got it as present and its very usefull. Senang sume brg baby boh dalam tu. If not any basket will do.

Dah tulis2 nih cam byk lak mende nak kene beli ye. Hmm..not cheap to take care of a baby. This make fathers work harder. Hehe. Anyway this list is according to our view. Its up to u what to decide. Some items are good to buy time sale and some are controlled price so no need to rush, tapi when u r 7 8 months mmg dah tak larat nak survey n malas nak jalan. For mothers yg due april may 08 adela lagi mac sale, new year sale etc rite.

I think that should be it…num 28-30 & 33 tu is secondary la. Yg lain tu yg u use everyday. Kalo u all ade any info..do share together. Also kalo ade sale ker ape2 bgla tau k.

Emm just let me list down some shops that I like to go get baby stuffs:-

Moms Care, Ampang Point
Anakku..anywhere also got
Reject Shop, Ampang Point… ade baju2 baby
F.O.S, Alpha Angle, Wangsa Maju… ade baju2 baby

Ade a few shops same level ngan Disney babies Mid valley…boleh survey pram etc
Kedai baby kat Semuahouse..tak tau name dier ape

Fathers..get ur pocket ready..akakakaka

Berpantang@confinement

2007-12-14T09:49:00.000+08:00

Asm to all..todays topic will be berpantang@confinement.

Im sure ramai new mothers tertanye tanye pantang nih sebenarnye how long..ape yg boleh makan ape yg tak boleh makan etc. so during my time, im also like that..cam pening gak.i did asked some people yg experience and heres what I got. Perlu diingatkan di sini hal2 yg sebegini seharusnya terpulang kepada individu itu sniri. So tepuk dada tanya selera.Pandai2 jer author nih….ekekeke. sorry kalo my writing like pening2 n tak tersusun..this is because im trying to be as simple as possible like talking. Its not that easy to explain in words.

Masa berpantang.

Option 1 – most people say 44 days which I consider true because according to a book I read, give urself 6 weeks after delivery for your body to be normal and utk luka tu baik. So 6 weeks is 44 days. And normally after 6 weeks jugakla ur gynae appoinment. And normally jugak nifas habis time nih.tapi ade jer yg nifas smp 60 days. Kalo ade any kemushkilan sila tanya gynae anda.

Option 2 – ade org amik 60 days. Boleh jadi utk badan betol2 kuat and ready for normal routine. Sbb tu jugakla org bekerja dapat cuti 2 bulan kot.

Option 3 – Yg nih jarang2 kite dgr..100 days. Kalau larat buatla..haha. Kalo bace dalam magazine artis2 ramai amik 100 days…in that 100 days tu tak boleh ade intercourse with husband. Salah satu rahsia utk badan kembali anggun, bak kata artis2 la.

Bab2 urut pun ade byk pendapat tp yg biase kite dgr ialah:

Pagi before 9am mandi rempah then bertungku diikuti dgn urut and bengkung and after that pakaila pilis etc. Makcik2 urut ingatkan kalo boleh n rajin after delivery kat hospital tu dah start pakai bengkung..yg strap2 tu pun ok buat sementara waktu janji jgn biar perot tak berbengkung.Berurut pun ade byk pendapat..

-Ade org buat straight 7 days after delivery then followed by 3 days berselang2 sebanyak 3 kali then 2 hari terakhir before 44 days ends. And last skali after habis nifas mandi rempah lagi skali. Tapi bengkung must wear 44 days and kalo boleh tungku pun everyday..boleh buat sniri jer.

-Ade jugak yg buat 3 days after delivery and 3 days before 44 days end. Tapi bengkung must wear 44 days and kalo boleh tungku pun everyday..boleh buat sniri jer.

-Ade org yg badan dia tahan..dier urut everyday smp habis pantang. Ikut badan la… and ikut poket gak. Sekarang makcik2 urut mahal…so kalo ade duit boleh la memanjakan diri. Haha. FYI, KL and Selangor price range for makcik2 urut yg I check is between RM80-RM100 per day. So sniri kire la ye… =P

Baby pun dinasihatkan mandi pagi2 before 9am and then jangan lupe sapu minyak telon kat perot, rusuk, kaki, keting, belakang cuping telinga and according to my mother in law amik habbatus sauda yg belum ditumbuk..bunjutkan dlm kain then panaskan, tuam kat private part,bwh ketiak n kaki baby (utk elakkan angin pasang) then pakai bengkung..ini utk elakkan kembung perot n masuk angin. Kat tv ade iklan Gripe water utk baby kembung perot..ade org kata bagus but according to doctors awal2 nih kalo boleh jgn bagi baby makan2 ubat sngt. Kalo boleh elak ngan cara lain dulu. For me I prefer minyak telon or bebiku.

For mothers, its normal utk takut2 and susah nak pergi toilet the first 3 days sbb takut stitches terbukak ke ape2. Tapi trust me sebenarnye tak sakit pun n takde kene mengena pun ngan stitches tu. Attention! This info yg tak sakit nih utk normal delivery..kalo ceasarian I tak tau. And usually stitches tu akan rasa sakit or tak selesa in a week time then ok dah. Sometimes rase gak cam lebam kat situ tp sebenarnye tak lebam pun. And kena jalan slow..this one honestly I don’t know how long. As long as possible la kot..and jgn duduk bersila…jgn duduk atas lantai and also jgn tunduk2..bila nak tukar nappy baby make sure duduk straight..jgn dok senget kat ujung katil (normal scenario) Sumerang pesan jalan baik2…jage ibu jari kaki jgn terlanggar ape2 coz urat kat situ sngt penting. But I cant remember what is the effect.

Okay enough on urut2 and stuff. Now we talk about food preparation.

Menu org berpantang pun ade baaaaaaaaaaaaanyaaaaakkk sngt pendapat. Rupe2nye lain negeri lain pendapatnye. Adalah dinasihatkan kepada ibu2 yg berpantang…cube dulu makanan tu and if ade bad effects like gatal2 or etc then jgn makan dah. As easy as that. But remember to keep track on what ur eat coz it effects ur baby also if u r breastfeeding.

How do I start this topic..susah nak create phrase. Ok like this la..this is through my experience..to share with others.

Ade org cakap jgn makan yg soupy2 sngt tp ade pulak yg cakap kena byk makan soupy so my conclusion is makan selang2 sbb medically after delivery banyak air dalam badan keluar so we need to consume a lot of water supaya badan tak dehydrated. Kalo dehydrated nnti akan jadi lemah n for breastfeeding mothers kalo air tak banyak susu pun kurang. Besides water bagus utk keanjalan kulit dsb so I guess water is fine. Tapi jgn minum ais….sebenarnye jgn minum langsung ais tp sape boleh tahan bolehla..sape tak boleh tryla tahan at least dlm pantang. My grandma ramai org tanye ape petua dia sihat n nampak muda..1 thing I know she memang tak minum ais. Maybe that’s one of the reason. Kalo dah tingin sngt minumla suku gelas…jgnla menghukum diri sniri.Kahkah…

Ade org cakap buah tak boleh makan. For me I don’t agree but up to individuals la. Buah contains a lot of vitamins so betik n pisang for me boleh jer. Coz kalo I tak makan I cannot go to the toilet. So I tried to test sikit dulu and ok jer so I makan jer la. Tapi of course jgn makan buah2 yg angin seperti nangka, sukun, pisang ape ntah and ape lagi I tak tau…ask org2 tua for better infos. Hehe.

Telor n kicap pun ade yg cakap jangan makan. Tapi ade pulak doctor yg suruh makan telor setengah masah hari2 sbb boleh baikkan stitches. Lg bagus telor ayam kampong. For me bile tingin I makan. Kicap org ckp nnti tempat stitches jadi gelap tp belum terbukti lagi. Kahkah.

Ade org cakap milo jgn minum nnti susah nak g toilet. Tapi ade pulak doctor ckp minumla milo. Even kat hospital pun bg milo. Cube jerla dulu..if ur body can take it then it shouldn’t be a prob. For me I prefer horlicks. Tea, coffee and Nescafe jangan dulu kalo boleh sbb contains high amount of caffein. Tp kalo nak rase just a sip takpe kot.akakaka.

Ade org cakap jgn makan ikan masin nnti stitches gatal tapi ade pendapat mmg suruh makan ikan masin especially ikan yu…haa jgn terkejut! For me I takleh makan..my kaki all jadi gatal.

Nih yg selalu dgr..takleh makan goreng2. sebenarnye goreng2 kering boleh jer. Menu yg best for me is ikan bilis goreng kering2 then makan ngan nasi panas bersama kicap. Janganla makan ikan goreng yg sampai melimpah2 minyak..tu mmg la tak boleh…goring pisang pun jgnla ye.

Yg bagusnya makan yg dibakar…senang jer sebenarnye menu org bersalin nih…mintak tolong ur husband gorengkan ikan bilis kering2 bersama bawang…goreng byk2 pastu storekan dalam balang. Then ikan, daging, tempe kunyitkan siap2 then bile nak makan masuk jer dlm oven. Ikan pun ade2 yg tak boleh makan. Org kata ikan haruan sedap n bagus tp I tak penah rase. For me I only ate bawal putih.

Seafood surely to avoid la. Takut gatal or rashes.

Ape lagi ye…byk2 sebenarnye tapi tak tingat..im trying my best to share as much info as possible. Ha…dalam sume makanan its best to masukkan halia byk2 utk buang angin.

Of course susu bgs utk mother and baby..ade byk di pasaran Anmum etc. Tapi research mengatakan for ibu yg pregnant baby boy and breastfeeding baby boy elakkan minum soya sbb soya stimulates hormone perempuan and lagi 1 ade gak pendapat kata soya boleh buat baby physically lembik.

For supplements, im taking vitamins n neurogain. Jamu2 I tak amik…im not sure why tapi sebenarnye tak lalu—haha....and takut effects baby. Coz ade my friend amik jamu then baby dier jondis sikit. Maybe salah jamu ker ape. Kalo ikut orang Indonesia, diorg buat jamu sniri so mungkin sbb tu diorg berpendapat jamu sngt bagus…cam kat sini macam2 in the market which we r not really sure of the ingredients….yg mane elok pun tak tau.

So far tu jer yg I ingat. Nnti will add and update this topic from time to time. Tapi yg penting kite makan ape yg body kite boleh terima and makan secara sederhana. Anything pun kalo berlebihan akan memudaratkan. And if u r breastfeeding pliz take care of your food betol2 selagi pusat baby belum jatuh coz itu time crucial. Takut kalo kiter silap makan n breastfeeding nnti pusat baby gatal, sakit etc.

If u have any infos on berpantang ker food ker ape2 do share with everyone. Maybe somone should write a book on this..let us do together...hehe..tp nak kena g round satu malaya interview
