Pagi Thought

this morn thought.

after sending her kids to school, a mom in her car looking at another woman driving a nicer car, "thats really really nice, it must be nice to have that".
saw another lady having her own good time jogged around the garden, "that must be nice to have such quiet, peaceful, effective time".

little that she know, they'd be saying "its nice to have kids and the chance to drive kids to school". someone out there ada yang tak dikurniakan zuriat pun utk be driven to school everyday. not about the car, not about the jog.
Allahuakbar.

Kids and Health


they are prone to sickness.
under 2yo, RSV lovessss them. syukur bukan influenze as now is the musim. 70% - 80% warded in semua due to influenza. semoga sihat cpt semuanya Amin.

started w a short demam days, he started to have sounds from his lungs (with stethoscope).

admitted into the hospital for 6 days.
manja la budak tu 6 days ddk dgn mama dia.
ignoring how scared the mom was sbb kena sleep hospital. im sooo not a hospital person. takut hantu.
syukur alhamdulillah sihat dah.

once balik nursery now manja sgt2 tak mau be put down once home.
this shall pass. tak tahan sedih the cries everytime neb, nose suction, everytime cucuk ubat masuk via branula pun cry sakit sgt2, branula tangan dah bounce bengkak, cucuk pula kaki and so on.

didoakan semua anak2 sihat kuat selalu amin.
bukan senang mak ayah pun bertukar2 shif just to have the life ongoing.
other 3 kids perlu ke sekolah, kafa so the send offs and pickups all should go on like normal.

alhamdulillah. settle. dgn bantuan dan rahmat Allah.


My Malay Newborn Baby

 


Baby's thing:
Baby mandi air suam
Pakai minyak telon di perut, belakang badan, legs and tapak kaki
Pakai barut
Booties and mittens
Swaddle
Cuci tali pusat everyday sampai luruh
Minum susu every 2-3hours, WAJIB
Sleep tanpa bantal, their neck still very soft
Sleep on bed yang tak tenggelam, important for their spine to stay straight
Only sleep face up selama yang boleh to prevent SIDS, they cannot turn/roll back yet kalau muka ter'face' on tilam

Berpantang Cara Mama and Kak Mas

 
       


Pantang 44 hari
1. no telur
2. no kicap/toyu
3. no kunyit dlm masakan pada awalnya sbb baby kuning, after baby dah okay stable, pelan2 can guna kunyit in masakan
4. ikan isi putih saja (siakap, bawal putih, selar etc.)
5. pantang suami isteri 100 days
6. berurut
7. bertungku
8. bertangas
9. modern2 ni ada sauna pulak kan
10. pakai barut/bengkung and berparam
11. pakai sweater
12. put on socks
13. ikat rambut tocang tinggi
14. in kain batik all the time
15. ada yg berpilis di dahi
16. air mandi always air daun-daunan yang direbus, mandi semasa air masih suam
17. alongside ubat2 Doctor
18. bfast roti & milo/horlicks etc
19. lunch nasi and lauk - selalunya sup ikan or ikan bakar or ikan masak asam (nasi always panas/suam) with sayur sup (sawi or brocolli)
20. lots of air masak/air kosong suam
21. dinner pun nasi and lauk (sama mcm lunch, ada yg pesan if possible jgn ulang lauk tghari)
22. teatime and supper - get biskut kering cicah milo or horlicks
23. sleep A LOT (as much as one can get, sbb in pantang baby banyak sleep only especially during the day)
24. no lifting anything except for the baby
25. jaga ibu jari kaki, kalau tersepak anything might prone to bleeding again sbb rahim belum kuat/recover sepenuhnya
26. no ikan haruan at all. good for scar but dia akan mencakup luka dalam dengan sgt2 cepat takut cakupan tu tak okay
27. no book reading/phone reading/tv watching sbb urat mata 
28. kalau caeser lepas mandi pls dry scar ceaser sebaik mungkin, jgn biarkan busuk, berair, bernanah or berdarah again
29. no laksa for 1 year
30. no bihun, mee, spaghetti, koayteow sudden2 sgt selepas habis pantang, take it slow
31. no seafood party cpt2 sgt after habis pantang, semuanya perlu mula balik slow and steady
32. tak boleh kena air hujan LANGSUNG, even after dah habis pantang, kena jaga2 lagi
33. hari2 sapu minyak nona roguy peha, betis, tapak kaki

the above mmg ada mitos2nya, but to respect the elderlies' tradition tak salah, asalkan makan and have a healthy pantang period. kalau doctor akan kata semua boleh makan as long as tak allergic. to me, ambik tradisi org tua, yg tak bercanggah agama, yg baik utk kesihatan, utk dpt rehat yg cukup so u recover well. 

thats all!
done and dusted. :)
