Muammar's Birth Story

Assalammualaikum...

In conjunction ( ceeawahhhhh...macam ape je kan....heheeheh) with Muammar's 1st birthday, which was yesterday, here i would like to make a special entry on my labor experience......

Actually dah lama saya decide nak tulis experience masa melahirkan Muammar, cuma macam tak berapa ada hati nak publish....So, sebab Muammar dah besday 1-year-old, macam tergerak nak down memory lane gitu...hihihi.

Tengok balik story nih, saya polish mana patut bagi entry ni reading-appropriate...kut-kut ada yang ter'censored'..:D And at least sok-sok saya dah lupa macam mana experience kat labor room...boleh la me'refer' semula kat sini.....

Tiny little toes of my lil'precious...

This story is written chronologically okey...:)

6 May 2011 (Jumaat) - It was my EDD....!!!! I am supposed to deliver my baby by today...!!! Serius cuak tau....sebab selalu nya orang kata baby akan lahir awal dari EDD....dan bila dah overdue, takut ada complications yang lain. Plus, saya rasa macam dah tak larat nak bawak perut...mengah, sakit pinggang dan NERVOUS!!!! You know, sakit bersalin ialah bila-bila sahaja boleh berlaku. So waiting is a torture bak kata omputih....berdebar tau.

Saya pulak kat umah MIL...still ke dapur mencuci, masak, sental dapur etc..etc...(kerja dapur tak pernah habes kannnn???). Dalam badan penat-penat, still moving jugak la....hati risau still....dan tanda-tanda sakit, takder pun.....

Sebab hari due, kena pergi check jantung baby kat klinik kesihatan...Yang lagi menakutkan, nurse tu kata, masih tinggi lagi perut saya..maybe seminggu lagi nih....Her words were not helping at all......:(( Kalau seminngu lagi memang kena serah diri kat hospital untuk di induce.....Tak nak......!!!

Lagi la berdebar hati tau. Nasib baik ada hubby tolong redakan gelora di jiwa saya... ~ceeeaahhhh~

7 May 2011 (Sabtu)- Overdue sehari...saya makin berdebar..semua serba tak kena. Stil at my MIL's place. Turun dapur macam biasa. Kemas rumah apa patut. Sambil tu duk layan hati yang berdebar-debar nervous.

Orang pulak asik tanya......

"Belum bersalin lagi???? Besarnya perut........"

Saya hanya mampu tersenyum....Stress!!!!!!

Serius stress tau...Kesian my hubby kena banyak tenangkan saya....Bila buat keja dapur pun dah komplen sebab rasa sangat penat...huhu

8 May 2011 (Ahad) - Overdue 2 hari...Serius sangat nervous tau...setiap saat rasanya hati dan fikiran asyik la memikir, bila la baby ibu nak keluar nih...

Dalam sibuk kemas rumah, bersembang dengan baby sambil usap-usap perut....

"Adik belum nak keluar lagi yer sayang??? Best sangat duduk dalam perut ibu yer? Jangan lama-lama sangat yer, ibu dengan abah tak sabar dah nak jumpa peluk adik...."

Saya terus jugak mengaktifkan diri nak bagi natural induction of labor. Berjalan san sini, kemas rumah, cuci bilik air, masak, buang sawang etc..etc. Sebab tak mau nanti masuk hospital kena induce. Lagi sakit. Kalau boleh saya nak experience natural birth...Sebab from my reading induction of labor with pitocin sakit dan boleh menyebabkan stress pada baby. Worst, kalau dah induce jalan tak buka jugak, kena C-sec....lagi naya....huhuhu

Still, tanda-tanda labor takder jugak.....Susah hati nyer.....apa yang saya risau adalah complications pada baby.....

9 May 2011 (Isnin) - Overdue 3 hari. Hari nih saya ada appointment check up dengan Dr Kamal di KMC. Sebab as he had already expected maybe saya akan overdue, so by the 3rd day kena follow up dengan dia. Kebetulan pula for the whole minggu lepas nya Dr. Kamal went abroad. So, that's why la, first thing on Monday morning, appointment dengan patient dia yang overdue nih...hihihi

Okeh.....jam 4 pagi, saya terbangun nak ke toilet. Ada rasa tak selesa macam sakit mencucuk period pain tuh. Perut tegang......Alhamdulillah, saya tau masa tuh it's almost the time. Yeaaayyyy....happy sebab saya tau saya akan bersalin hari nih......The contraction of dilation dah mula. Tapi saya tak kejut my hubby, sebab saya tau (cam confident jer kan..??) biasanya first baby akan ambil masa yang lama sebelum fully dilated. Tak risau, tapi just berjaga-jaga kalau-kalau my water broke jer.

Alhamdulillah, saya boleh tidur sampai subuh. Masa lepas solat subuh, saya baring sekejap sebelum bersiap-siap ke hospital jam 7 pagi. Dalam hati memang dah confirm yang saya akan bersalin hari ni. Sakit sesekali bila bergerak....maybe dalam 30min-45 min sekali ada rasa. Nak jalan pun rasa tak selesa...Pelan-pelan aje...

Then buat breakfast for me and hubby. Simple jer...peanut butter toast and milo + nescafe. While having breakfast, baru la saya cakap kat hubby.

" Abang, ayang rasa mesti bersalin hari nih...."

"Ye ker? Tak tau lagi...hari nih kita check up aje ngan Dr Kamal..."

"Ayang dah rasa contraction...Bila jalan rasa macam sakit mencucuk sikit...."

"Haa....?? Ye ker? Nape tak bagi tau abang?? Dah-dah ...jom cepat pi hospital....." sambil makan roti laju-laju....

Hubby saya pulak yang kalut...saya relax jer lagi....

"Takper...kita breakfast la dulu...lambat lagi sebab nih kan first baby...."

So we all pergi hospital around 8 pagi. Sepanjang perjalanan dari rumah ke hospital my hubby asyik tanya jer saya ok ke tak...sakit tak...boleh tahan lagi ke...drive pun laju-laju jer tekan minyak....bila terlanggar lubang atau bumper slow bukan main...takut kalau saya banyak terhentak dalam kereta...Siap say sorry lagi kat saya....:D

Sebelum masuk hospital...Posing hari last as mak yong..:D

" Takper la abang..ok lagi..rasa jugak sakit..tapi ok jer....sakit macam period pain yang sakit sikit jer...Not all the time pun....relax aje bawak kereta tuh..."

Sambil-sambil saya kira contraction berapa minit sekali....stil dalam 40 minit kut...tak sure la kiraan tu betul atau tak...tp rasanya memang lama je interval tuh....

9 pagi - Sampai hospital. Register untuk klinik Dr. Kamal. Tunggu turn. And lastly masuk jumpa doktor pukul 9. 30 pagi.

Dr. Kamal tanya khabar....tanya dah rasa sakit ker belum....Saya bagitau yang saya dah mula rasa contraction...Then pergi scan...

"Hmm...baby ok...estimate berat dalam 3.4 kg la yer...lebih kurang...mungkin besar sikit, mungkin kecik sikit....Kita check jalan dah buka belom kejap yer..."

Dan Alhamdulillah, masa tu dah dilated 4 cm...patut pun macam makin kuat rasa sakit...Macam tak percaya pulak dah 4 cm..Selalu dengar cerita kalau masa nak dilate 1-2 cm pun sakit dan lambat jer.....Tapi saya rasa Alhamdulillah...4cm tu dah nak separuh dah daripada 10cm kan....sakit pun tak kuat sangat.....dalam hati berharap nak fully dilated tu tak lama la....dan berdoa supaya saya dapat 'menikmati' all the contraction dengan kuat....

Dr Kamal tanya, nak masuk ward dulu ker, nak masuk labor room terus. Saya cepat jer jawab nak masuk ward dulu la...Tak nak la gi labor room terus..Saya nak berjalan-jalan lagi nak mudahkan labor.....

While waiting for the room

11 pagi - Dah settle urusan warded.. Tukar baju sambil terus layan rasa sakit contraction...Dalam hati ada rasa excited, nervous, berdebar ..macam-macam la...dan berangan jugak, minta-minta cepat jalan nye bukak...sebab saya sedaya boleh tak nak di induce....

Jalan semakin berhati-hati..sebab dah mula mencucuk sakitnya..tapi bearable lagi...sempat bersembang-sembang ceria dengan lady kat sebelah katil saya..Dia demam teruk and 4 months expecting.

Saya rasa tak risau dan takut langsung...Masa ni memang betul-betul positif tau....bak kata orang putih, I did really embrace all the contractions and anticipation for the labor with all my heart....Serius, saya sangat tenang jer rasanya.....

11.30 pagi - Sekejap aje masuk ward...Sempat kemas-kemas sikit. Nurse dah datang suruh pegi labor room. Nak buat CTG untuk cek pergerakan jantung baby. ada la sejam jugak ...Boring nye sebab kena baring je. Dalam hati memang nak sangat berjalan-jalan untuk mudahkan proses labor....Tapi dah arahan doktor..huhu

12.30 tengah hari. - Hubby duduk tunggu kat luar. Dah lepas CTG, memang kena tunggu aje dekat labor room. Doktor datang check CTG result. Dia kata jantung baby agak laju. Takut baby distress dan dah poo-poo dalam perut. So, doktor kata nak pecahkan air ketuban. Saya terpaksa redha aje demi keselamatan baby. Kalau ikutkan hati, memang saya nak semuanya secara natural. Dalam hati hanya mampu berdoa semoga baby selamat dan dipermudahkan.

Lepas doktor pecah air ketuban, Alhamdulllah, dia bagitau yang baby belum poo-poo lagi. Tapi dia bagitau yang saya kena masuk drip sebab nak maintain liquid dalam badan. Masa nih rasa contraction semakin kuat daripada pagi tadi. Doktor bagitau yang dia akan induce dengan pitocin sebab nak percepatkan contraction.

Lagi sekali terpaksa redha. Masa nih saya dah expect akan sakit . Sedangkan masa pergi monthly check up memang ada request kat doktor untuk natural labor. Tapi sebab saya dah overdue, terpaksa la induce jugak. Walau dalam keberatan, saya tepaksa akur. Dalam hati saya memang positif yang saya tak perlu pitocin, saya hanya perlu berjalan untuk induce my labor naturally.

Tapi, part yang agak upsetting for me ialah saya di attached dengan machine to monitor baby's heartbeat. So, saya kena baring all the time since admitted to the LR.!!!!! Sedangkan saya memang sangat positif untuk induce labor saya sendiri since awal lagi. How I really wish I can still do the walking to induce the labor and  quicken the process.:((

Saya dah mula stress masa nih. Mula nervous sebab saya tau saya tak in control dalam proses labor saya.  Masa hubby masuk temankan saya, saya mengadu dah kat dia.

" Abang, nape ayang tak boleh bangun? Kalau jalan-jalan lagi cepat boleh dilate....."

" Takpe la, doktor tak bagi kan. Sabar je sikit..."

Even saya tanya nurse, saya tak boleh bangun ker? Dia suruh saya baring jer..Even bila saya duduk atas bed tu pun dia tegur suruh baring jer.....

Tapi masa nih contraction pain was still bearable. Saya tak perlukan sebarang sedatif to calm myself. Sesekali jer sakitnya. Saya teruskan breathing dalam-dalam. Sambil-sambil selawat dan baca doa Nabi Yunus. Still boleh bertenang...tapi dalam hati meronta-ronta minta kalau la saya boleh bangun dan berjalan, mesti lagi menenangkan....

Sempat call ibu kat Seremban untuk bagitau yang saya dah masuk labor room dan minta maaf kat ibu. Masa nih syahdu jer rasa. Minta ibu tolong doakan saya mudah bersalin jugak...

2.30 petang - Pitocin drip started. Masa nih saya dah baru dilated 5 cm. Rasa macam lambat kan dari pagi yang 4 cm tuh.

Contraction pun apa lagi. Makin kuat la. Saya rasa sakit yang mencerut sangat. Saya tau, pitocin hanya akan enhance the contraction, but it won't necessarily dilate the cervic. Dalam hati saya duk terbayang takut kalau contraction kuat tapi jalan tak buka, akan end up dengan C-sec. Nauzubillah....

Waktu nih, my hubby duduk kat sebelah. Pegang tangan. Asyik tanya jer,sakit macam mana. Tak tau saya nak explain. Tapi the contraction was getting stronger and stronger.

Dalam pada tu, hubby sempat bagi saya minum air selusuh dan makan kurma yang bawak bekal dari rumah. Dah tu saya minta maaf siap-siap dengan hubby. Minta halal semua makan minum......Meleleh jugak air mata nih..huhuhu

And,at last, I surrender to sedative. Contraction cepat sangat high peak... Sebab masa tengah sakit tu, nurse suruh pakai satu gas mask untuk hilangkan rasa sakit. Dia tolong pegang. It was a little discomfort to breath into the mask. Tapi saya terpaksa. And worse, gas tu buat saya nak tertidur!!!! No...no...nooo...! Saya tak mau tidur sepanjang proses nih.

Ada one time my hubby cakap...

" Nape tak jawab bila abang tanya?? Sakit sampai tak mau cakap dengan abang lagi ker?"

Rasa bersalahnya saya.....Kesian kat dia...Ye lah, dia semangat jer nak pom-pom kan saya, saya tak nak bercakap dengan dia pulak. Dalam mamai-mamai mengantuk sebab gas tuh saya jawab..

"Ayang mengantuk la abang. Sorry yer....."

Dan ada beberapa minit tuh memang saya terlelap. Tapi when the contraction comes, memang tak tidur la...

3.30 petang - Contraction yang high peak. I guess the pitocin really worked its function. Sakit yang memang terpaksa tau. Pitocin will enhance contraction of the uterus...by force. Kalau contractionwithout pitocin, hanya muscle uterus yang akan contrct gradually....Saya terpikir, kalau normal contraction Insya Allah saya boleh tahan. Sebab it will be gradual, perlahan-lahan intensity meningkat. Badan saya pun akan adjust perlahan-lahan jugak. Nih dah guna pitocin, everything is forced. Tetiba macam kesian kat baby sebab kena paksa.

Waktu nih saya keep on positive thinking sebab tak nak stress...takut baby pun stress. Nurse dah ulang alik masuk. Tak silap saya masa nih baru dilated 6 cm. Wowww.....memang rasa lama sangat.

4 petang - Waktu nih contraction kuat. Tapi saya dah tak pakai gas mask. Sebab saya tak suka rasa mengantuk tuh. Setiap kali sakit contraction yang amat, saya cuba duduk. Sampaikan ada sorang trainee nurse tu pujuk saya siap suruh baring, kata nanti doktor marah kalau puan tak baring.

Tapi seriously, bila saya duduk, the pain is more bearable. Saya tak kira.....Bila contraction je saya akan angkat badan...It was really uncomfortable to stay lying on the bed......

4.30 petang - Finally I was 8 cm dilated. Hati rasa lega sikit. Dalam pada tuh, saya dengar nurse dah sibuk kata suruh panggil doktor.

4.45 petang - Dah 9 cm...I know its almost time. Nurse pun sibuk suruh teran je kalau rasa nak teran. Actually tak tau pun bila nak teran tu. Tapi tau-tau sendiri...sendiri agak jer. Memang rasa nak push sangat dah masa tuh sebab rasa muscle tension kan... Tapi dalam fikir nak push tu, masih lagi teringat apa yang saya baca. Breath your baby out, do not push. Saya cuba kawal breathing walau sebenarnya breathing ke laut dah.

Waktu nih hubby dah ada kat sebelah...Doktor dah getting ready. And legs already hung. 

Then, i heard doktor suruh breath deep, and with one long push, untuk teran.....Hubby pegang tangan dan ampu belakang saya....

Then dengar arahan doktor push.....

" Alhamdulillah....dah keluar kepala baby...."

Then doktor suruh deep breath and long push lagi sekali...

5.13 petang- Now the shoulders and the whole baby was out. MUAMMAR RAFIQI telah selamat dilahirkan.

My hubby kata masa kepala baby dah keluar doktor terus azan. Saya tak perasan pulak. :)

Then Dr Kamal bagi pada hubby pulak untuk azankan baby...Waktu nih saya macam sedar tak sedar aje...Penat dan macam surreal sangat.....

Doktor dah potong tali pusat , balut baby sikit suruh my hubby bagi kat saya....

"Astaghfirullah....Alhamdulillah...Subhanallah...." saya cium baby. Dakap dalam lengan. Menangis tapi tak keluar air mata.

My little hero

Perasaan...???

Tak tau nak gambarkan...Yang pasti syukur dan takjub kepada Allah.

Lepas tu, I was stitched. Banyak jugak kut sebab my baby was 3.7 kg. Way bigger then estimated...Doktor ngan nurse pun bising jre kata baby besar nih...patut pun lama sikit....:D Apa2 lah..pada saya dah Alhamduillah sangat saya experience tempoh labor yang agak singkat....Masa get my stitch done, sakit sikit-sikit jer. Baby bawak pegi cleaned up while i was also "cleaned". Dah selesai semua, baru la my hubby masuk balik dalam labor room, nurse datang bawak baby. Suruf bf.

Indah...sungguh indah pengalaman tu. Hanya yang bergelar ibu mampu memahaminya.

Bonding...:)

Alhamdulillah, proses kelahiran Muammr Rafiqi pada saya, tidak sukar. Semuanya dipermudahkan.

Saya tak mengalami sakit bersalin yang lama. Kira-kira start contraction yang keras tuh selepas pitocin drip jam 2.30 petang..Pukul 5.13 petang dah bersalin...Sekejap kan kalau nak compare mommies yang sakit sampai sehari semalam???? Alhamdulillah.

Dan pada saya, kelahiran tidak menyakitkan. Tapi yang sakit itu adalah contraction pain. It is the real battle of giving birth. Sebab dari awal saya dah set in mind, labor is actually normal ...It's just your body need to do what it supposed to do. And it is always has its own way.. Badan kita nih dah di designkan boleh melahirkan.....Allah dah ciptakan seorang wanita mampu untuk melahirkan. Rasa sakit tu sebab the muscle tak pernah work hard for labor before, so its painful coz the muscle says " Yeahh,,this is hard." , yet is is not called LABOR for nothing rite??? Dan lepas baby keluar tak sakit dah.

Abah dan Muammar

Sepanjang petang dan malam tu, saya tak rasa penat atau letih langsung. Tak mengantuk. Malam saya tak boleh tidur. Mungkin excited sebab dah ada baby. Sampaikan masa saya telefon ibu kat Seremban bagitau saya dah bersalin, ibu kata suara saya tak lemah macam orang lepas bersalin sebab kedengaran nye sihat bertenaga dan ceria aja.....hehhehehe

Saya mampu menyusukan Muammar  on demand. Walau pun Muammar di nursery, saya rasa bertenaga dan sihat untuk pergi menyusu setiap kali nurse panggil bagitau Muamamar lapar susu.

Melahirkan seorang khalifah Allah adalah pengalaman indah...hanya yang pernah melaluinya dapat memahami. Bahagia. Rasa sempurna.

Alhamdulillah, syukur Ya Allah....atas kurnian-Mu kepadaku sebagai seorang wanita, isteri dan kini seorang IBU..

 Assalammualaikum....

Dah lama pulak tak update blog..tak sempat laaa...hari tu balik Seremban umah nenda Muammar....sibuk sangat jumpa family....heheheh

Gambor-gambor bersiri nih just nak share, sebab saya geram sangat tengok aksi dia.....

Seronok kemain dak kecik nih...

Muammar memang dah tak reti duduk diam dalam kereta dah sekarang...sangat lasak dan aktif...pusing sana-sini buli ibu dia...hahahah. Sakit-sakit badan rasanya bila dia tahan dia bergolek sana-sini....Muammar bagi ibu dia free work out session....ngeeeee :D

Ngeee....~

Pen Abah yang menjadi mangsa gigit-gigitan

 Semua benda pun dia nak explore...usik itu, raba ini. Tarik sana, korek sini...semua nye dia nak buat mainan..Curiosity tinggi sungguh la aaiihhhh.....

Ihikk....

Dap....dappp...   (sedap...sedapp)

 Yang paling happy sebab boleh berdiri ..sebab luas pemandangan mata dia agak nya....:)

Sibuk nak pandang ke luar

Yang pakai pyjamas nih sebab gerak balik dari umah Tok dia awal pagi...tak mandi tak apa pun....terus angkat naik kereta aja....kadang-kadang dia tak bangun lagi pun..terpisat-pisat bawak masuk kereta...sebab abah dah rushing nak pergi kerja...balik Sg Petani baru la mandi...:) Lagipun pagi-pagi nak mandikan Muammar, kesian pulak nanti dia kesejukan....hehehe

Excited...:)

Cam anak Jepun jer ibu tengok...

 Saya suka pose yang ini.....gerammm......:))

Suka sampai meleleh air liur...

Pipi mu sayang ooiii......bertelur..:)

Yang last nih pun comel.....tengok pipi dia.......yummmeehhhhh!!!!!!

Hahahaha....sian pipi dia selalu kena gomol-gomol dek ibu yer........:))

Its Playtime ....Awww...Chak!!

Assalammualaikum....

Playtime!!!  Budak mana yang tak suka kan? Kalau boleh nak main jer sepanjang hari...hahahaha. Kalau baby cam Muammar, celik mata sampai tidur pun ialah playtime.....:P

"Kuda ku lari....."

Kat rumah, duduk berdua ngan Muammar layan kan aje dia nak merangkak....Kami main peek-a-boo ....

Saja upload video saya main cak-cak ngan Muammar....Masa ni dia umur 8 bulan....baru merangkak sikit-sikit...tapi nak cepat, still meniarap lagi....hampir terlupa dah saya record yang nih...godek-godek pc jumpa plak....terus upload kat blog kannn.....heheheh

Saja suka agah dia sebab masa nih dia dah mula belajar gelak jerit-jerit....Kelakar dengar dia jerit....macam gegirl je bunyinya....hahahaha

Masa nih Muammar dah mula tunjukkan separation anxiety dia...mana saya pegi, dia mesti nak ikut....mula nak merengek bila saya hilang dari mata dia.....kadang-kadang, saya pi bathroom pun curi-curi jer....

Nih kalau main cak-cak, selalunya saya menyorok belakang sofa atau pintu..nanti dak kecik ni pun cepat-cepat la gi kejar cari ibu dia..takut sangat kena tinggal...:D

Bukan senang nak rakam aksi Muammar ni.....tapi inilah yang nanti akan jadi kenangan bila kita tengok balik time anak-anak dah besar kann???

Walaupun tak sehebat mana la sangat rakaman nih kan, tapi 10-20 tahun lagi, it will be one of the most precious things in life...:)) Tak ternilai dengan harta dunia......

Baby's Battle of the Meal~ What to Do?

Assalammualaikum....

Lately, Muammar adalah sangat susah untuk makan...saya adalah sangat susah hati..:(

Dulu, masa introduce solid at 6 MOS, dia cam ok jer makan puree. Bagi bubur nasi pun masa dia dah 7 bulan...masa tu bagi yang dah di blend and campur EBM. Alhamdulillah..dia makan..walau tak banyak tapi buka  mulut jugak tiap kali saya suap.

Time bergambor, senyum pulak yer...

Tapi, sejak-sejak 8 bulan nih, nak bagi dia makan memang kena bersilat bagai...Muammar dah pandai tutup mulut rapat-rapat...geleng-geleng kepala...makanan masuk mulut, dia kemam...pas tu sembur...

Ya Allah..menguji kesabaran sangat-sangat okeh....Naik meroyan ibu dia nih tengok "cerdik" nya Muammar..dah pandai tunjuk protes tak mo makan...

Moi + pumpkin+ bilis_ banyak nih pun tak abes....

Time makan pun nak main...ginilah jadinya...

Nampak tu atas karpet tabur-tabur makanan dia..sebab dia sembur-sembur..huhuhu

Saya dah try bagi macam-macam..pelbagaikan makanan dia...dah bagi ayam, ikan, sayur, buah...pendek kata apa jer suggestion for baby food, saya cuba...pasta pun dah buat.....resipi yang single ingredient or mix ingredients...even nasi dan lauk homemade yang biasa-biasa pun dah try....tak jalan jugak dengan selera dia...

Tiap kali bagi, sesudu dan 2 sudu pertama bukak mulut..then pas tu, puhhhh kiri...puhhhhhh kanan....puuuuhhhhhh depan......haru biru dah every meal session...:(

Kadang-kadang geram, saya paksa jugak Muammar makan...I know...I know......its no good....tapi saya tak mo dia tak makan langsung. Cemana nak buat nih....????????? :'(

Nak bagi anak makan ni ada beberapa petua atau rule yang kena ikut.

Antara yang penting...JANGAN PAKSA ANAK MAKAN!!!!!   Saya dah buat banyak kali..huhuhu

.

Tapi takpe la..meh kita share pasal feeding our baby. Lain-lain info pun boleh dapat dari sini.

Inilah baby yang taknak makan tu...:P

Tanda-tanda baby nak makan:

 1.Badan dorong ke depan macam tak sabar

2. Mulut kumat-kamit cari sudu

3. Capai makanan dan cuba masukan dalam mulut

Tanda-tanda baby tak nak makan:

1.Tutup mulut bila disuakan sudu

2. Meluahkan semula makanan

3. Mengalihkan kepala bila sudu disuakan

Sebenarnya, bila baby dah tunjukkan tanda-tanda dia dah tak mahu makan, kena STOP IMMEDIATELY!

Takde dah dialog-dialog..." sikit je lagi sayang....."  "last..last..dah nih..." atau " satu mulut je lagi...."

Suka wat muka manja tu kannn...haiiihhhh..:D

which is itulah yang saya buat pada Muammar..:( And i fell really bad....

Each baby is individual so treat him like one. Kadang-kadang ada baby yang kena tunggu at least a year, untuk dia belajar makan makanan pejal selain susu. So in the meantime, ajar dan ajar dia untuk terima solid food....

Ok, kat sini saya share sikit apa yang saya dapat belajar....

This is another reminder for mommies ~ taken from Baby Center

Here are some tips for helping your baby try (and eventually eat) new foods:

* If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Your baby may hate his first, third, and ninth exposure to carrots, but the tenth time may be the charm.

* Experiment with different ways of presenting food. Your baby may not like bananas by themselves, but he may love them mixed with his favorite oatmeal cereal. (Just be sure not to introduce more than one new food at a time, so you can see if he's allergic.) Likewise, your older baby may prefer shredded steamed carrots to sliced.

* Try new food when you and your baby are at your best — when you're both well rested, in good spirits, and healthy.

* Your baby will be more open to a new food if he's hungry (but not overly hungry), so give him his new food first.

* Don't stop feeding your baby if he makes a funny face — it doesn't necessarily mean that he doesn't like what he's tasting. He may just be reacting to the distinctly different taste.

* Babies are easily distracted, so keep TV, music, and toys to a minimum during mealtime.

* If your baby seems interested in holding the spoon, give him his own. That way he can feel more like an active participant without slowing down the feeding.

* Give your baby your undivided attention during feedings, whether you're holding him on your lap or facing him in his highchair. Try to keep your facial expressions positive, even if you're serving a food you detest.

* Let your baby see you eating the same food he's eating. He loves imitating you.

* Your baby may like a new food but still only eat a few teaspoons of it. That's perfectly normal.

* If your baby gives you the thumbs-down on a particular food (closing his mouth, turning his head, throwing the spoon), don't force it. Try again in a few days and he may surprise you by gobbling it up. Forcing food or showing your frustration may turn mealtime into a negative experience full of power struggles.

* Switch things up. Your baby may tire of eating bananas at every meal and give up on them entirely. Plus, a varied diet is more nutritious for your growing baby.

The great lesson of all

" Your baby will never starve himself or herself! "

On the other note......Saya mesti menjadi ibu yang sabar...:) Takmo dah marah-marah Muammar bila dia refuse to eat.....Kesian anak ibu....

The 3rd Ones....

Assalammualaikum......

Saya adalah seorang ibu yang gembira untuk minggu ini...hehehehe.

Kenapa pulak yer?????

Ape plak yang no 3 nih...??????? :D

I am so happy to watch how my baby has grown...every single development of his physical, or emotion and action always amuse me....Rasa excited dan teruja setiap kali tengok gelagat dia....heheheh.

Actually saya rasa happy sebab Muammar dah tumbuh gigi ke-3...His first upper central incisor...the right ones...

Nampak tuh..gigi atas Muammar...:D

 Yeaayyyy.....another little milestone...makin besar dah anak ibu yer....

Saya dah perasan beberapa hari lepas...masa tu memang nampak gigi dia one white line...the crowning or the teeth..bila raba gusi Muammar dah rasa tajam.....tapi nak snap a picture of his teeth nih...punya lah payah.....mengamok Muammar bila ibu dia sebuk nak tangkap gambor dia....jerit2 plak tuh...

Pantang nampak remote control, suka sangat nak gigit...Pastu bila suka, kaki gedik-gedik excited...:)

Takper..sok-sok dah besar, mesti dia berterima kasih sebab ibu dia ada record pasal perkembangan dan pertumbuhan dia....heheheheh. Waktu tu boleh la kamu nak bangga kalau ibu cerita pasal kamu nak...:D

Kalau tanya pasal gigit...So far...dia tak gigit pun....sikit-sikit tu ada la...tapi boleh tahan lagi....Tapi serius, gigi dia nampak je kecik halus, tapi tajam tuh...huhuhuh. Selalunya kalau dia gigit adalah sebab protes bila ibu suruh susu, tapi dia pulak sibuk nak gi main.....hahahaha.... marah kena paksa nenen kot....

Alhamdulillah...each time dia tumbuh gigi, Muammar tak pernah demam....risau jugak kan, selalu orang kata baby akan demam bila nak tumbuh gigi....cuma yang saya perasan, bila nak tumbuh gigi Muammar akan jadi quite cranky sikit.....cepat bebai bak kata orang Kedah...tapi kejap-kejap jer...mungkin dia tak selesa...nanti kalau kita dah layan dia main-main...dia ok balik....

Dua gigi kecik kat bawah

Lagi satu, lately nampak dia suka sangat "mengunyah"...suma benda nk masuk mulut. then air liur pun banyak la meleleh...hehehehe

Bersepah air liur budak nih...

One funny note....sejak dah keluar gigi atas dia nih, Muammar bila duduk saja-saja masa main dengar bunyi "krittt...kritt..krittt"....bunyi dia lagakan gigi atas ngan bawah dia....duk asyik je kadang-kadang tuh....rasa kelakar plak tengok perangai dia....budak kecik yang baru discover dia makin ada banyak gigi agaknye....:D

Ok lah..itu saja pasal gigi Muammar..nanti kita kasik hapdet lagi  :D

Baby Explains- Normal Newborn Behavior

By Diana Cassar-Uhl, IBCLC




Dear Mommy,

Thank you so much for breastfeeding me! You probably already know that your milk is designed especially for me, and is better than anything else you could feed me. I know that right now, you feel like your friends who aren’t breastfeeding their babies seem to have an easier time of things. Those other babies sleep soundly and longer between feedings, they drink so much, and they don’t fuss to eat all the time like I do! I can tell you’re getting a little bit frustrated, and I hear all the advice you’re getting … my grandma says you weren’t breastfed and you turned out just fine, my daddy says he feels like he can’t do anything to soothe me, and that lady with the cold hands that you call “doctor” gave you a can of something that she says will help me grow faster. You’re tired and frustrated because taking care of me just seems too hard, but please mommy, before you give up this yummy breastfeeding thing, let me explain some of my behavior to you. It might help you feel better.

First, if you and I were separated after I was born, for any reason (maybe it was hospital protocol that I be left under a warmer, maybe you were recovering from surgery), I’ve got some catching up to do, because I probably lost more weight than my friends who got to stay close to their mommies. It’s OK … I’m really good at letting you know when I need some more calories, but it’s important that you let me breastfeed lots and lots, even if my grandma says “he just ate!!” In my first few days, the nurses at the hospital might tell you I’m hungry and your body can’t make enough milk for me … but mommy, that colostrum from your breasts is some awesome stuff! It’s packed with protein, which binds to any bilirubin in my body (elevated bilirubin causes jaundice in more than half of newborns) so I can poop it on out. It’s also a great laxative, which makes it easy for me to get all that black, tarry meconium out of me and we can move on to the seedy, yellow-brown poops that are much easier to clean off my sweet tushie. Now, the colostrum is really thick and sticky, and I’m so small and still figuring out how to move my tongue, and we’re both still trying to get comfortable together, so it might take me 20 minutes or longer to suck out just ONE TEASPOON (5-7 mL) of that liquid gold.

But it’s OK, mommy! You know, there is really nowhere I’d rather be than in your arms, hearing your sweet voice and smelling you — even though you haven’t had a shower since before I was born, you’re just delicious to me. And something else you should know about me … even though I have a really cute “Buddha belly” that looks all chubby, the capacity of my stomach on the day I’m born is just 5-7 milliliters – that’s the size of a small marble! You’re the smartest woman in my whole world, so I know you see the connection here! The amount of colostrum in your breast is exactly the capacity of my tummy! My stomach walls on my first day of life are very rigid and won’t stretch; this is why, if anyone tries to feed me with a bottle, I’m going to spit most of it back up again, even though I eagerly suck at it. See, mommy, I only have two ways to send and receive information from my brand-new world – I can cry, and I can suck. I can’t see much, and all these sounds are so much louder than when I was inside you, and I can use my hands to help me orient myself on your breast, but crying and sucking are pretty much how I make sense of everything.

I know it seems really confusing, mommy, that I would want to suck and suck and suck even though my tummy is full. When I suck, lots of great things happen for both of us. I keep my own digestion moving by triggering the involuntary digestive muscles in peristalsis – moving the contents of my stomach along because I’m still moving my mouth and tongue, which are the beginning of my digestive tract. When you let me do all this suckling at your breast, I can very easily regulate how I suck, depending on why I’m sucking at any given moment. You can probably feel when I’m suckling nutritively and swallowing lots of milk, and when I’m kind of relaxed about it, feeding sort of like I’m savoring a bowl of ice cream … you know how sometimes, you scrape just a tiny bit onto your spoon, because you want it to last a long time? To me, you’re better than ice cream! But on a bottle, it’s impossible for me to suck and not get whatever’s in there, and that’s confusing to me, so I might keep sucking because that’s what my instinct is telling me to do, or I might realize my tummy hurts (because even on day 10, my stomach capacity is only a ping pong ball) and I’ll cry and cry because all I really know is crying and sucking!

A word about these instincts I feel … I really can’t help it, mommy, that I want to suckle so much. It’s just how I came out, and there doesn’t seem to be much that I can do about it. Please believe me, I’m not trying to trick you! In a few weeks, this need lets up a tiny bit, but for now, suckling is my M.O. But, do you want to know something really cool? I’m not the only one who benefits! When I suckle at your breast in these early days, your body actually activates prolactin receptors! Isn’t that amazing? In my first two weeks, the higher I make your prolactin levels go (my suckling triggers a prolactin surge in your body), the more of these receptors get activated in your breasts, and the higher your potential milk production will be for as long as you choose to breastfeed me. That’s one reason your lactation consultant tells you to wait on introducing that bottle or that binky– this prolactin receptor thing only happens for the first 10-14 days. After that, the prolactin surges when I breastfeed are much smaller, so the more receptors there are to gobble up what prolactin is there, the more easily you’ll make all the milk I need.

Besides prolactin, there’s oxytocin, another hormone I activate when I am at your breast. Oxytocin is part of what makes you so addicted to me! It’s “the love hormone” and it helps you feel relaxed and content when we’re breastfeeding. Go ahead, mommy, exhale and relax! It’s OK! Oxytocin release is triggered by nipple stimulation, not necessarily milk removal (though when things are going well, my stimulation of your nipples usually means I’m removing milk!). Now, I know this might sound a little awkward coming from your baby, but I need you to know something about oxytocin. There are only three events in your life that trigger oxytocin release: nipple stimulation (like when I’m breastfeeding), labor (the oxytocin released during childbirth stimulates uterine contractions, which is why nipple stimulation might be suggested when labor stalls, and also explains why sometimes, after you breastfeed me, you feel an increased expulsion of lochia and maybe some cramping), and … orgasm!! Isn’t neat that the same hormone plays a part in making me, birthing me, and feeding me, and it’s a hormone that makes you feel GOOD to do all three?

Mommy, I know you are trying your very best for me and you’ve been worried about whether your body can satisfy my appetite. I know you’re used to being able to measure everything, and your breasts don’t have markers on them to tell you how much milk I got. Maybe you used a breast pump, and that confirmed your worries that there isn’t much milk there – but mommy, please understand that a good pump can mimic me, but your body wasn’t designed to have all these wonderful hormone surges for a cold piece of plastic with a noisy vacuum motor. You know that feeling you get when you hold my warmth and weight, smell how delicious I am, and nom nom nom on my fat cheeks? That feeling helps you make milk! That feeling is part of the whole system that was designed to make you need to be close to me, just as much as I need to be close to you. And mommy, I know you’re very busy, and important, and there’s so much you used to do before I came, and I know right now, it feels like you’ll never do those things again, and our house is getting messy, and maybe that scares you. 

But please know, every moment you spend holding me, every time you gaze lovingly at me, and every hour you spend breastfeeding me in these early days is so important to me, because you’re all I know. I love daddy and grandma and all of our friends, but I’m designed to be happiest and least stressed when I’m with you. Can you wear me in a sling or soft carrier after I’m milk-drunk? I really like listening to your heart beating while I sleep, and you are warm and soft and smell so good. That space between your breasts is perfectly sized for my head, and there’s nothing I like better than the feel of your skin against mine. Well, maybe there is something I like better … I love it when you sleep next to me after we’ve been breastfeeding. Oh, mommy, when you nurse me while lying down, you relax and your milk flows so nicely, and I feel like you’re so happy to be with me, and I’m very special to you because you don’t have to run off and do something else as soon as I’ve let your breast go.

And mommy, I have a promise to make to you. I can’t say for sure when it will happen, but there will come a day when I need you a little bit less intensely. My feedings will get more organized, my weight gain will stabilize, and sometimes, I’ll even like when my daddy or grandma or other loving person holds me. But today, I need you. You’ll always be my number one, even after we’re done breastfeeding, but I will learn, like you did, to defer my needs and to trust others to meet them once you and I get a good thing going. Thank you so much for all you’ve done for me so far. Until you start giving me an allowance, I hope my good health, sweet smiles, coos, and giggles will sustain you!

Love,

Baby

Update Muammar 1/2 Tahun

Assalammualaikum...

Alhamdulillah...sayang ibu dan abah ni dah 6 bulan umurnya...

Muammar 1 bulan.......

Sekarang, jom tengok budak 6 bulan nih..:D

"Lihat lah badan saya..sudah bam-bam kannn?????"

Woww....(aksi terkejut ibunya :O ) pantas masa berlari yer...anak den dah bosar..hahahahah...

Muka budak kecik ni pn dah makin lain....eeisshh...nampak cam tak sama pon dari masa dia sebulan kan???? physically, yup...makin besar aka bam-bam....kulit makin cerah, halus mulus lagi gebas-gebus..

Kad Klinik yang sangat memberangsangkan..heheheh

 Yang ni, carta perkembangan berat badan dia....tengok la tu, lahir jer dah 3.7 kg...by 6 month dah 8.6 kg...dan Alhamdulillah, dia masih BF dengan saya hingga ke saat ini....

Awww chhaaak!!!

 Enam bulan, dah boleh duduk macam nih...still kena ampu, tapi badan dah tegak..suka sangat saya tengok gambor ni....tombam-bam-bam anak den ni haa...:D

Yang ni pulak, style meniarap dah makin hebat...dah bole angkat kepala kuat-kuat...sekarang ni siap dah nak angkat-angkat montot dia...tangan pun dah up, macam nak wat pumping jer saya tengok.

Pas tu dah pandai bergolek-berguling satu rumah (baca: hall tv). Dari hujung karpet sana, sampai hujung sini....mentang-mentang belom boleh merangkak lagi, berguling adalah kepandaian dia untuk bergerak dari satu tempat ke tempat yang lain untuk masa ini....penat saya tengok dia guling-guling..tapi dia ni jenis kuat akttif..tak reti penat..bila penat, dia tau nya nak tido jer..bila jaga, main aje keja nya...(takpe, bak tagline Milo..."Play More, Learn More"~hehehe) Waktu tu la pun dia nak belajar kan..let him explore this world...

Muammar juge sudah pandai ketawa mengekek..pantang abah dia main "makan budak", suka sangat la dia..ketawa bukan main...saya yang dengar pun tumpang happy..:D

Bila nyanyi lagu ABC, dia pun humming along....bila bagi makan petang-petang, tengok Upin Ipin, boleh gelak sorang-sorang...(cewahh...cam paham aje budak kecik ni...) saya layan kan jer....sikit-sikit tu bagi gak tengok tv...yang mana tak merosakkan tu, sikit ape salahnya....then, bila reading time, humming juga..maybe dia nak try imitate intonation masa saya baca tu....tapi masalahnya, bila buka buku, dia sibuk nganga-nganga mulut..nak makan buku...adoii la..penat ibu dia pegang...

Lagi satu, sekarang habit tido ialah mengiring....selesa agaknya...sekali tengok cam budak besar dah anak saya ni...Dah tu, bila golek-golek, suka wat badan bulat-bulat sambil angkat ibu jari kaki masuk mulut...haa, yang ni biasanya orang kata sebab nak adik lagi kan?? tapi mengarut la tu, sebabnya, from my readings, at this age, baby memang suka masuk thing dalam mulut...as they are trying to explore the 'taste' of this world...as long as they can grab anything in their fingers...masuk ke mulut la jawab nya...hehehehee

Hmm..ok lah...nanti saya sambung lagi...banyak no pulak bercerita yer tak....

*Pardon my dusty mirror* ~I snapped this pic while Mr Abah was playing mirror  'peek-a-boo'ing with our lil hero :D

There's nothing in the world could describe the pure satisfaction of raising a child of yours. As much as they are amused with YOU and the world, you'll learn that YOU are totally a lot more amused and mesmerized by THEM....each and everyday!!

Babai uolls...:D

He is Half-A-Year Old!!!

Assalammualaikum...

Yeayy!!! My baby is now another half-year till he turn 1-year-young (old). :)

Hari ni saya bawak Muammar pergi check up 6 bulan. Kena inject Hep B second dose. But that is not my concern at all..coz he never catch a fever everytime he had his immunisation injection. Rasanya this time pun he will do just fine...Sebab my Muammar is one healthy and strong baby boy :D

Okeh..Muammar sekarang weight dah 8.6 kg. Tinggi (panjang, should i say..) ialah 71 cm. And his growth chart is extremely beautiful...mcm nurse tu cakap..berat naik ok, sangat aktif dan alert. Saya rasa happy sangat sebab saya tau saya dah bagi yang terbaik untuk dia...sebab Muammar minum susu ibu...heheheh

Masa kat KK, punya la Muammar ni peramah...Excited bukan main tengok ramai baby kat situ. Mulut becok gugu gaga tegur semua orang. Ramai pulak yang suka mengagah dia..lagi seronok dia lompat-lompat excited. Lenguh tangan saya duk dukung dia.

Sekarang ni, Muammar dah pandai buat muka manja bila dongak pandang muka saya  and hubby. Cair nye tengok muka dia..Mesti semua mommies pun cam tu kan??? Rasa bahagia tau...

Dah tu sekarang pandai meniarap sambil berguling-guling..kadang-kadang bangun-bangun tido terus meniarap, guling-guling baru nak kuar suara...kelakar pulak tengok perangai dia tu....Saya layankan aje..Kadang-kadang biar dulu dia nanges, baru nk pi amik dia..Comellll....:D

Dia sekarang dah boleh didudukkan..hehehe..ni tengok la..dah siap2 encem-encem nak pi klinik....

I just love to see her growing every day...Time really fly fast... seems like it was only yesterday i gave birth to him and hold him snugly in my arms...tapi sekarang, no more snugly...sangat lasak dah dia..

Tapi saya tetap sayang Muammar saya...:D 

HAPPY 6-MONTH-YOUNG YAYANG IBU.
