Raising Kids

Hello.

No. Im not going to give tips on how to raise kids. Or teach how. Because no one is perfect. Raising a child is a learning process for both side, you and your child. Agree? Anddddddddddddd, tak semua orang sama characternya. Agree?? No one is perfect. I repeat.

If our parents raised us in a way that we used to, of course lah we can learn something from them too right. Since I was a kid, I always told myself in some matters, I wont do this to my child just like my parents did to me. Why? Because I know the good/bad effects to me myself. Kadang kadang, apa kita rasa tak puas hati tak semestinya kita luahkan dkt our parents right. They are our parents. So, instead of luah, I took it in a good way. But make it as a reminder to myself for future, if I have a child, I will do this ..... and I wont do this ... to my child. Instead of using the same method like my parents did, perhaps I can alternate other methods without giving bad effects to my child. Sebab kita pernah rasa mcm mana and of course lah kalau boleh tak nak anak kita rasa mcm mana kita rasa kan. Faham? Pening? Lantak. 

Husband pernah cakap, nak ke kita ajar anak kita cara A tapi kita sendiri tak ikut cara A. Malah, bercampur aduk. Itu bukan teladan. Saya nak anak kita yang contohi kita. Nanti bila anak dah besar mesti dorg kata mama dgn abah ajar kita mcm ni, tapi dorang sendiri tak buat mcm ni. Once kita perbaiki diri kita insyaAllah kita pun akan jadi lebih baik, insyaAllah anak anak kita pn akan amek input yg baik tu. Lebih kurang mcm tu lah husband cakap. Make sense.Walaupuuuuuunnnnnn berdas das jgk lah smpi panas telinga ni. Hehehe. Semuaaaaaaaaaaaa parents nak kan yang terbaik untuk anak masing masing. Kalau boleh, tak nak langsung anak anak ada inherit sifat negatif kita kan. Kalau boleh nak dorg ada sifat positif je. 

Right now, my son is absorbing what me and husband did. When I clap my hands, he will open his hands and see what I'm doing. When my SIL is coughing, he will cough too. Kadang kadang tak perasan, aku campak je mainan dia atas sofa. And when I see his eyes are watching me, rasa macam oh oh. Afraid he might throw his toys after this just like what I did. Sebab skrg dia dlm proses absorbing. Macam sponge. Hehehe. My bad lah, sebab main campak campak je. Kadang-kadang bila husband berborak dgn kwn2 dia pun (you know lah how guys talk kan) tak pasal pasal aku kena pasang telinga bila dia tengah pegang rayyan. Rayyan mmg tak reti cakap lagi but he can hear. So those the f word ka b word ka ape ka semua nye kena ehem ehem sebelum husband tercakap or kawan2 husband cakap. Nasib kwn2 husband jenis faham aku ni mcm mana. They smoke, but they wont smoke around me and my baby. Itu cari sound berdas2 je nanti. 

Im still learning, to be a good mother. Selain bagi contoh yg terbaik kat anak, haruslah diri sendiri pun berubah. Jangan hipokrit sudah. Setiap parents cara didikan tak sama. You cant expect parents A teach  the same like parents B did. And the way we raise our kids, the environment and etc, are not the same. So please understand this is a learning process for both parties. Jangan terikut sangat dgn video tips. Kena tgk kemampuan diri sendiri di mana pada saat ini. 

You can get lots of tips on how to raise a child from al quran and hadith for muslim. Cara Rasulullah S.A.W didik anak for an example. :) 


BTW, raising kids is too subjective for every person with their own points of views.

FM again

Hello.

Rentetan pasal arrayyan and FM. Honestly hubs and I dah tak larat every night nak kene wake up for 5-6 times. Dah mcm zaman pantang haritu. He throws tantrums and demand for my milk. Seriously, at this peak, memang menguji kesabaran. Like someone told me, Allah nak bagi pahala lebih. I take it positive. Memang betul, anak ni amanah and ujian untuk kita as parents. Kekadang sebagai manusia, kita takkan lari dr buat kesilapan. Kdg2 ada jgk hilang sabar when he throws tantrums at night but nasib ada husband yg tlg take over and sebaliknya. But then, lepas tu mesti rasa jahatnye aku. Budak tu tak salah apa pun. Me myself will say sorry to arrayyan sebab he knows and he can feel what we are saying.

Sorry son. Mama loves you so much! Abah pun.
I know my milk supply is not enough for him so I started introduce him FM. Too bad semua dia reject. Dah beli pigeon peristaltic plus bottle dia mcm okey tapi dia dok gigit puting.botol tu. Bila telan air susu tu menjerit lah dia. I have changed from anmum to enfapro since my mom told me I grew up with enfalac so why dont you try with your son, mana tau dia nak. Belilah tin kecik tu.

Ingatkan dia nak la kan. Malangnye tidak. Mula mula dia mcm okey sbb I follow tips buat cair sikit. Tapi lama lama dia mula buat perangai tak nak minum. Selalu jadi mangsa abah dia la. Kesian abah.

Hubs surrender and ask me to df je. Yes no problem, but for how long nak stay mcm ni? Bottle feed susah gila. FM pun tak nak. Every night keeps cari nenen mama dia ni. Dah 2 weeks plus mcm ni. He dont have any problems with his solid foods. Semua ok. Makan banyak. So I thought he will less drink. But not for my son lah. Demand susu sama or perhaps more dgn demand makan.

Hubs kata no worry, once he is 1, dia dh krg minum susu. Perhaps. But still I want to see him grow healthy. Dapat zat yg cukup and see him happy will make me happy.

We keep trying every night to train bottle feed and feed him FM eventho dia akan menangis mcm org kena dera. Sabar je lah. -_________-
I hope he will get used to it. I have to attend class starting May. So nak tak nak kene train jgk bottle feed. Kalau tak, 3 hours lah dia tak minum susu.

I dont know what else I can do. Penat but at the same time keep trying and trying. Minum pati delima, and eat cheese utk tmbh susu. Tho it works, still every night dia mcm tu.

Orang cakap senang je, keep pump keep pump. Sabar, usaha. But seriously aku tak sekuat mcm korang lah nak mengepump je. Kalau dulu pump boleh la dpt 8-9 oz sekali pump. Sekarang adela 1-2 oz je. Its not enough for my 6 months son. Cakap mmg senang weh, nak buat tu bkn senang. Perlukan mental yg kuat.

Hubs told me last night, hebatnya kuasa Allah, susu ibu tak sama dengan mana mana susu tepung sampaikan rayyan ni susah sgt nk minum FM. Botol susu punya puting pun tak selembut mcm mommy's punya. Yes, kuasa Allah tiada tandingan cumanya my concern is, tak nak rayyan kelaparan susu.

Kadang kadang terfikir maybe ada benda halus kacau dia ke apa ke entahla. If still in a month dia tak berubah, I need to get solutions for this. Pergi darussyifa' pn takpe. Now arrayyan punya perangai, if siang, lps makan he will sleep for 1-2 hours. Siang dia tido byk sbb nk cover malam tak cukup tido.

Haih. Buntu okey. I hope at least dia nk minum FM and bottle feed. Sbb nk tgk if dia kenyang, malam dia cranky ke tak. Any ideas? Tips? TIA

Hard vs Easy

Hello.

Its hard to give Ar Rayyan FM! He hates it. Setiap kali bagi je nangis mengamuk sampai merah muka. My milk supply dah drop. Every night he wakes up 5-6 times mtk susu. I know he's starving.

One of the reason dia dah lama tak berbotol sejak I stay at home. Another reason maybe FM ni manis sangat kot. I used Anmum. Now pening nak tukar botol and cari susu yang mana ok dengan dia. Its hard to feed him FM. I know he loves mommy's milk tapi mommy dia yang kesian kat anak dia tak cukup susu. So nak tak nak kene top up dengan FM.

Will try pigeon punya bottle yang peristaltic nipple plus tu. Cuma the main part is which FM yang ok? Susah la tak semua FM ada bagi sample to try. Jual plak semua kotak besar. Jual lah size kecik sikit. Blergh.

Uterine Prolapse

Hello.

Uterine Prolapse or dlm bahasa melayu, peranakan jatuh. Read it here and here.

In my case, orang tua tua kata normal kalau kdg2 peranakan jatuh esp yg vaginal birth. I thought masa pantang je mak bidan urut utk naikkan peranakan tu balik.

Last month after 2 months tak urut, badan pun dh start berbisa and sengal, so call mak bidan utk urut. Bila urut keluar segala angin through mak bidan tu. Haha. Then bila tiba part dekat perut, mak bidan tu ckp peranakan jatuh. Tu yang perut rasa mcm cramp before urut tu. Sakit ya rabbi bila naikkan balik peranakan tu but after that I feel much better.

Reasons peranakan jatuh sbb angkat yg berat, esp my dearly son yang almost 9 kg tu. Duduk menyusukan lagi, doing housework lg and etc. MIL kata kena pantang ais. Ais boleh buat peranakan jatuh. Tang tu I dont really agree sebab I am one of a kind yg tak boleh tak minum ais. Ha ha. Habis je pantang 100 hari utk ais, terus balun ais. Heh.

Tak sure lah betul ke tak. But a bit risau if slalu sgt peranakan jatuh. Usually weekend I will ask hubs to help me mandikan rayyan so at least I can rest.

And now, I need to have a massage every month utk bg badan rasa fresh. Badan dah tak mcm dulu lg. Lain beno lesunye.

Bak kata atok, badan ni nak pakai lama lg. Baru anak 1, belum 10. Pengsan. But massage by mak bidan mmg best. Takde dah nak ke spa bagai sbb dorg urut bkn bg lega urat. Bagi relaks je. Lain agaknye urut dgn mak bidan dgn ke spa.

I need to be extra careful after this.

Chicken Pox or Measles?

Hello.

Last 3 weeks, arrayyan kena chicken pox. Itupun mama found out after almost 2 weeks. Well first time mommy mana nak tau sangat. At first mcm mild rashes je so we bought him see paed at private clinic. Paed kata bkn chicken pox sbb ar rayyan tak demam. And she gave us ubat sapu, antibiotik and ubat ruam. Still takde perubahan pun.

Bintik bintik tu makin melarat kt punggung area so we went back to see paed. Paed tukar antibiotik and ubat cream sapu because she said mungkin kudis. Heh. Mana dtg plak kudis kt arrayyan ni.

Bring him to see MO at private clinic jgk, punnnnn he told us bkn chicken pox. Time tu dh ada mcm nanah dkt punggung area. Sapu cream dr tu bg trus makin teruk plak. Pecah yg konon suspected kudis tu.

Abah bukan jenis suka pergi klinik kerajaan sbb abah tak suka menunggu. But mama tak tahan tgk arrayyan punya biji biji ni plus cranky at night buat mama pelik, whats your problem anyway?

Tokbu buatkan appointment dgn pakar keluarga kt KK Presint 9 at 4 pm. Bila jumpa, settle problem!! Kena chicken pox rupanya. Yang dkt punggung yg pecah sampai ada bekas tu adalah IBU dia. Dr kata, ada some babies mmg takkan demam bila kena chicken pox unlike measles. Go google their differents.

Banyak org tanya mama, campak ke chicken pox sbb dorg kata ada beza campak dgn chicken pox. Heh menyampah btul bila org tanya dgn lagaknye konon buat mcm mama tak tau. Dah pakar kata chicken pox tu chicken pox la. Why must argue specialist yg mmg dlm bidang dia unlike us yang bkn specialist tapi nk jadi specialist. Pokkkk kangggg!! Geram btul.

Dr kata its normal if baby seusia rayyan time tu 5 and half months kena chicken pox. Dr tak bagi ubat since she said its best kalau keluarkan semua smpi habis. And pakai daun semambu. Gigih petik daun semambu kt taman warisan tu. Hahaha.

At the same time mama mandikan rayyan dgn eubos for baby yg mmg elok utk chicken pox. Alhamdulillah, cpt jgk kering. Sekarang tinggal parut and slowly healing. Lambat beno nak betul2 baiknye. So 6 months punya jab kena tggu all clear baru boleh cucuk.

Dalam putrajaya ni, yg bagus KK Presint 9 dgn wad bersalin berisiko rendah presint 8 je. Hospital Putrajaya? Hampeh. Sangat hampeh. First and last mama pergi masa arrayyan kena bisul and warded to NICU Hosp Putrajaya. Lepas tu semua abah suruh check in Pantai je.

For me, ada pros and cons nye private and gomen. Dah pergi child specialist clinic yg ramai org kata bagus pn she cant detect. Abah suruh banned clinic tu lps ni. Pfft. Jumpa dr biasa lg lah kan. End up jumpa specialist kt kk baru ok. Its free. Err dah la nk claim kat ING lambat.

Hopes arrayyan cpt sembuh! Mama nk tgk anak mama handsome. Jenuh mama sapu kulit pisang kt tmpt bekas chicken pox tu bg nk hilang parut. Hehe.
