breastmilk

alhamdulillah baby Jr is almost 3 months now...

the journey all in all is mashaAllah still so beautiful..its amazing your life changes for this small tiny little baby...

today i want to share about my milk...

alhamdulillah i manage to breastfeed him to the last 3 months.

and also alhamdulillah i manage to find something yg trigger my milk so byk...here is the story..

during my pantang time, alhamdulillah susu semua just nice...my baby drinks alot, some people manage to pump n store milk, for myself..mmg susah..everytime i try pump, i get only like 1 or 2oz je..tu pun after that my baby akan bangun n get so angry coz milk macam dah habis...i pumped a few times je..after that i told myself, tak payalah.since milk not yet enough...

after pantang, of course the first place we visited was rumah my metua...n suddenlywhen i was there my milk jadi byk..finally i started pumping...n then balik my house..milk ok, balik just enough...not engorged anymore

n then the next week visited my metua again...n again my milk byk sampai engorged, even after baby dah minum..and again when i balik my house dia ok balik...back to supply n demand...

the 3rd time i pergi, again it happened, this time we stayed for almost a week, n my engorged was so bad, sampai tak tido malam, just sibuk pump n pump...i felt alhamdulilah rezeki, tapi susah jugak, coz i was engorged like crazy..and i heard scary stories kena operate due to mastitis, infection of the breast....takut sgt

n i told myself, sure ada something kat rumah my in laws was a trigger.. so i did a lot of trial n error, to find what is it that i didnt have at my house that i took at my inlaws...nasilah, airlah, roti, bawang ..segalanya i checked..

finally guess what, we alhamdulillah manage to find out what it was...



air sarsi...(sarsaparilla)

so now i know i dont drink that much sarsi...but when i want to stock up milk, i will drink sarsi, n store all my milk..alhamdulillah now i have supply at my house, n rumah inlaws as well just incase..

well to tell the truth, when i was pregnant my morning sickness was so bad that mmg air tak masuk langsung, if i drink plain water i will muntah...and for a few months i could only drink sarsi...

oh alhamdulillah i found the thing that triggers my milk..my mum says mmg lain org lain trigger dia..for my mum it was papaya..for my 1st sis it was garlic, for my 2nd sis it was ubat Habbatus Sauda...tapi mmg lain for all of us...

Habbatus Sauda that my sis took

anyone else would like to share what is it that triggered your milk??

holding my baby...

salam,

today i would like to share my phobia..hehehe...

do u guys experience the same thing where random people u tak kenal come up to you n nak pegang your baby??
i have discuss this with some of my friends, some like some dont..I dont like it at all...if its family or friends or people i know... no problem..but when its random people yg i tak kenal.my goodness it bothers me alot. u never know what they have that can jangkit to my baby, nauzubillah...

dah kena a few times, once masa kat hospital, this lady just came n nak angkat...ada once we all nak makan this nenek datang sempat cium2 lagi..arrrgh...n many more..my sister pernah kena kat wedding we all pergi, senang je aunty tu, yg we all tak pernah jumpa or kenal, ambil  my nephew bawak jalan2..we all terus ambil balik the baby (dahlah kidnapping now dah byk)...baru 2 weeks ago i went to a wedding, ada this girl came to my friend, tanya can i angkat ur baby, geram nak gigit??dia tanya.. nak ckp no kesian..but terus dia bwk baby tu jln2..panic mak dia nak find her baby...

i know some tu niat baik, just nak tgk baby n geram..but cakap2 bolehlah, i pun geram when i see a baby mashaAllah....but dontlah take the baby away from the mother....n kalau deman jgnlah cium baby..kissing spreads so much germs, dahlah babies immune system is still very weak at newborn stage...kesian baby tu jangkit nanti.

my first moment with my baby Jr...fresh from the oven  p/s: yes i was sleeping, i was on GA during my c-sect..long story there..one day inshaAllah i will tell the story....

demam

a few weeks ago, baby boy was not well..at first his cousins batuk2, n then me and my sisters pulak jangkit from the kids, n that was when my baby boy also jangkit...its the first time he fell sick...it was a saturday... and most clinics tutup because it was birthday agung i think..a public holiday..so we went around everywhere to find a peadeatrition. finally i rememebered my friend told me at DEMC ada...even on public holidays...

finally, Doc said to admit him, because he got a lot of phlem, but too young to caugh it out...so we did..

and i have to say from the first moment I was very impressed with the service.

we couldn't get a  room kat pead floor coz it was full, but they put us in a room different floor but sebelah the nicu. pead doc came after 2 hours, checked on baby boy..lama jugak..he played with my son all,  i was so lega, dapat a doctor like that..

after that i was engorged, asked the nurse for help, because i didn't bring anything to pump..i dah force baby boy to drink but he didn't want to, he just kept on sleeping..n then nurse came with electric ameada pump, and glass bottles to pump..they gave me 10 bottles..1 bottle 2 oz...and said after pump, can call the nurse, she will keep it in the nicu fridge. sempat bagi the sticker n pen to label lagi. (which btw masa discharged, they said just bring the bottles home)

besides that, they have this thing called hahaTV, where u can purchase for RM10, and ada like 50 movies u can choose from..sadly 25 of those movies is chinese movies..but ada about 25 lagi malay and english movies..so the whole day me n hubby tak habis2 tgk movies..but rm 10 boleh tahan 24 hours sahaja..after that u have to pay another rm 10 to get another 24 hours.

food not bad the menu...very specific..senang to understand..n then on top of that, they have room service..so since we all stilll lapar, apa lagi room service jela..price room service also tak mahal. all below RM 30.

doc came they next day..again he check and played with baby boy lama...n then i asked the nurse how to mandi him?? coz i didn't bring bath tab or anything..baju je hubby sempat ambil..n then nurse cakap..its ok, we will mandikan him..so they bathed him...all the nurses asyik main2 n check on him...

nurses service was good, but kalau nak compare to kpj, they are a bit young, so experience kurang sikit...but because the place is new, still quite empty, baby boy got alot of extra attention...in kpj hospitals, they are so full n busy..i terkejut demc all of them were so generous

 i had a good experience..in terms of service, i was very pleased and happy..

but bilik dia abit small, i wasnt too happy about the size, sbb in the room ada stroller, ada my breastpump(yes the hospital pump sgt besa, ada dia punya own tray tolak2), ada the table makan..dah penuh dah...toilet is very very clean though...price RM 180 for single bedded room.

overall i have to say if i were to be admitted for something not complicated or common sickness i really would recommend DEMC...

2months

salam...

i realise its getting harder & harder to update now with the baby..hehehe..

well hari tu baby jr went for his 2 months check up..and mashaAllah he is now 5.5kg..alhamdulillah..he is growing mashaAllah so well...we all pun terkejut...but alhamdulillah...

now he is just like any other boy..hehehe...look at his sleeping style...

pantang aka confinement.

well  different people has different pantang k..ehehe...kena buat disclaimer awal2...

for myself, because lahir cser, so many things i didnt do..but what i did was pantang food...

everyday makan soup ikan kurau..everyday k..tapi tak teruk sgt, sbb my mum masak ikan very nice..hehehe...besides that, i drink byk air, so i dont get dehydrated, and to make sure supply susu enough for my Jr. selain soup ikan kurau, I also makan cream crackers with apple jam and fruits makan jambu and apples..

urut, dan segalanya semua tak buat, until habis 40 days...tapi i cheated tak buat 40days pun, sampai 39 days je...sbb tak larat already makan ikan..rindu makan ayam...hehehe....but now i still pantang alot of food...like lactose and seafood semua still pantang for myself n baby..baby because i takut he gets wind(perut kembung) or gatal...but so far if baby perut kembung, kalau massage minyak telon at his stomach, tapak kaki, belakang..nanti his perut ok, alhamdulillah...

now after pantang pun, just did my 1st urut tadi...yay, this whole week got berurut...

about socks, the first week pakai ok..after that, peluh sgt sgt until dapat heat rash, and after that i realise if pakai socks, my kaki edema, so after about 10 days dh stop dah pakai socks...(maybe because i gave birth tak natural(cser) so tak rasa sejuk kot..n my house pun panas, n i sleep without aircond..

ala boringnya my pantang story..hehehe..takpelah i end my story here..hehehe....till my next entry...

tgklah the nurse style rambut my junior...hhehehe..

wassalam..

weight management

salam everyone..

I'm getting slower at updating..actually i go to my blog alot, to read everybodies update, tapi with my hp, so i cannot update/cannot comment sbb my simple nokia phone cannot suport kot, well whatever it is, everytime i nak log in blog, tak dpt, terus dia off the app...lap top takda, so everytime i update i have to borrow someones pc...

ok on weight management...guess what, total weight i put on during my pregnancy was 19kgs...so byk...alhamdulillah the first 12 kgs hilang the first 2 weeks after lahir baby..but since then it has been hard to loose weight....

total now alhamdulillah i've lost 14kgs..another 5kgs to go...macam mana nak loose the weight?? i eat sooo byk nowadays..seriously since i started breastfeeding alhamdulillah, ive been eating like crazy byk non stop, so my weight pun not going down..i'm really worried.. i cant fit my clothes...

any tips from mum?? how to not feel so hungry all the time...i feel hungry all the time...

as for my little Jr..alhamdulillah he is 4.5kgs at his 1 month check up...nowdays he doesnt yak so much...kalau dulu sampai 20 times a day pun ada, now he yak less than 10 times a day...diapers we use a lot less, nasib baik because i was feeling guilty buang so  byk non biodegradable rubish (diapers, breastpads)....

Jr also now can smile at us finally, he was smiling alot, tapi only during his sleep...now he can smile when we talk to him... his face is changing so much....he looks soo different now, also bulat sikit...diapers pun dah guna size S, i'm sure he is going to ugrade to size M soon, sbb i feel slowly S dah start ketat..

soon i think i have to stop mittens and booties, and just pakai socks for him, because semua dah ketat..and mittens n booties only comes in 1 size right??

Diaper rash

Yay alhamdulillah my junior aka Jr dah 1 month old...

this is my baby wih his cousin..beza dia 1+ months (hana look they are using ur muslin gift, i love the lembutness of the kain)

 alright today i want to discuss about diaper rash...My jr, he yak like between 10-20 times a day..mmg byk. He yak soo much sampai he had quite bad diaper rash. at first i was putting extra virgin coconut oil, but it didnt work, n then put honey, well it didnt get worst but it didnt get better as well...finally i used seba med diaper rash cream, and alhamdulillah the rash was getting better and better...

but me being me, i love to put natural things on my baby..not that i dont believe in modern medicine, i just use modern medicine as my last option..hehehe...and mashaAllah i was soo happy the seba med cream worked.

last entry i asked about natural things to put on the butt for diaper rash right?? and many of u all suggested corn flour and tepung ubi....first i tried tepung ubi, since more people suggested that, and guess what??? after 2-3 days, mashaAllah it worked soooo welll...(i put the tepung everytime after my baby yak) n now he is diaper rash free...alhamdulillah...

tepung ubi really works..!!!

as for corn flour, i put at his bodyparts yg ada folds like his armpit n his neck, to prevent him from getting heat rash..i'm so happy coz tepung ubi, and corn flour is very murah and so easy to get, and it has the least chemical item i can think off...thank you everyone that suggested both this flour...
