Assalamualaikum..

Lamenye tak blogging heheh..masih adakah follower yg bace blogku yang hampir berkulat ni? Kalau ada sila angkat tangan please!

Ada niat nak blogging tapi sejak ade Facebook and Twitter, lebih pantas posting kat sana daripada mengarang blog. Sangat kagum dengan rakan2 yang masih kental mengarang blog. Kadang2 terasa redundant sebab posting cerita sama je..

Anyways, today venting session is CUTI.

Alkisahnya dah sebulan lebih in advance applied cuti untuk 28/2 sampai 4/3 tapi sampai hari ni la tak approve2. Aku dah naik tension ni. Apelah lorat sangat nak click button APPROVE???

Nak kata apply last minute dah apply awal sebulan setengah! Kesian kat Tok Ma, tiap2 hari call nak confirm balik Terengganu ke tak? Dia pun nak apply cuti gak sebab cucu balik nak duk rumah layan cucu kan. Siap nak support minyak and tol lagi tu punye la nak suruh balik. Mane tak nye, last balik Terengganu bulan September tahun lepas, balik raya sampai la skang tak balik2, asyik dorang je turun KL nak tengok cucu...

I OFFICIALLY CURSE YOU DAMN CSC!

Anyway, I'm in the market looking for a new job, preferably not call center again.

Naik muak ho-kay!!

OT- The smile that keeps me going everyday

myMetro | Ibu, anak lebih intim

2010-05-19T12:41:00.001+08:00

myMetro Ibu, anak lebih intim

APAKAH cara paling baik membawa bayi anda berjalan? Meletakkan di dalam kereta tolak atau mendukungnya?

HADAPAN...ikat tali penggendong pada bahagian hadapan.

Mungkin mendukung menyebabkan si ibu penat kerana perlu menggunakan kedua-dua tangan menampung berat bayi, manakala kereta tolak yang besar memerlukan ruang untuk bergerak serta bukanlah kaedah terbaik bagi memastikan keselesaan bayi.

Kini terdapat kaedah terkini yang lebih praktikal, selamat dan selesa iaitu amalan memakai atau membawa bayi menggunakan kain pengendong atau apa sahaja jenis pembawa bayi sama ada moden atau tradisional.

Menurut ahli Babywearer Malaysia, Liza Yaakup, naluri seorang bayi untuk sentiasa dekat dengan ibunya. Justeru, alat pengendong bayi mampu meringankan beban serta membolehkan ibu bapa mendukung bayi dalam jangka masa lebih lama.

Ini kerana berat bayi boleh diampu kain pengendong manakala ibu bapa boleh meneruskan tugas harian, menguruskan anak-anak dan membuat kerja rumah.

Tambahnya, alat pengendong ini sangat mudah alih, boleh dilipat dan dibawa bersama dalam beg lampin. Perjalanan jauh dipermudahkan dengan alat pengendong.

Sesetengah lokasi yang sibuk dan penuh sesak seperti terminal lapangan terbang atau pasar memang sangat sukar untuk menggunakan kereta tolak, jadi alat pengendong bertindak sebagai penyelamat.

BAWA BERJALAN...bayi diletakkan di belakang.

"Selain memiliki sifat mudah alih, kebaikan utama daripada alat pengendong ini dapat membantu pembentukan emosi, psikologi dan peribadi bayi. Bayi yang sering dikendong jarang menangis kerana keperluan naluri dapat dipenuhi.

"Bayi ini juga lebih intim dengan ibu bapanya kerana dapat ikut serta dalam menjalankan kehidupan harian. Mereka dapat menerima lebih stimulasi dan dapat belajar daripada keadaan sekeliling memandangkan mereka lebih tenang apabila berada dalam dakapan ibu atau bapa," kata Liza.

Terdapat pelbagai jenis alat pengendong di pasaran iaitu alat pengendong pada satu bahu umumnya dikenali sebagai sling. Untuk memakai sling ini sama ada perlukan saiz yang sesuai dengan pemakai (pouch sling ) atau menggunakan sling boleh laras (ring sling).

Caranya senang, ia dimulakan dengan menyelempangkan sling. Mungkin perlu diselaraskan kedudukan kain, dengan mengikut ukuran dan umur bayi, boleh dibaringkan atau dibiarkan duduk di dalam kendongan. Laraskan atau betulkan lagi sehingga rasa paling selesa untuk pemakai dan bayi

Jenis alat pengendong kedua menggunakan dua bahu contohnya mei tai yang dipermodenkan. Umumnya, ia mempunyai satu panel empat segi dengan empat tali yang menjulur keluar. Dua tali pendek perlu diikat pada pinggang terlebih dahulu, sambil mengampu badan bayi, panel ini diangkat supaya menutupi pinggul dan badan bayi.

Kemudian, dua tali yang lebih panjang itu dengan cara tertentu diikat pada badan pemakai. Bayi boleh didukung di hadapan pemakai atau didukung pada belakang pemakai seperti beg galas.

Yang terakhir adalah sehelai kain sama ada kain batik lepas, kain ela atau kain panjang (berukuran tiga hingga lima meter) yang dibuat atau ditenun khas bagi tujuan mengendong bayi.

"Pelbagai cara boleh digunakan untuk mengendong bayi hanya dengan menggunakan sehelai kain. Teknik mengendong bayi menggunakan kain seperti ini mudah dipelajari dengan tunjuk ajar daripada mereka yang lebih berpengalaman, mahupun dengan menonton video di YouTube," jelasnya.

Menurut Liza, satu perkara yang baik mengenai alat pengendong, ia boleh diadaptasikan untuk mendukung seorang bayi dari kecil hingga besar. Alat pengendong yang perlu dipakai mengikut saiz adalah pouch sling dan ukuran ini mengikut pemakai dan anak yang boleh dikendong tidak kira kecil atau besar dengan menggunakan saiz sama.

Bagi alatan pengendong lain, kebanyakannya boleh dilaras supaya bertepatan dengan saiz pemakai dan bayi. Walaupun begitu, lain badan lain caranya, justeru, sebaiknya anda mencuba dahulu sebelum membeli kerana alatan mengendong lain mempunyai kebaikan tersendiri.

"Pemilihan alat pengendong selalunya bergantung kepada keperluan ibu bapa dan daya tahan pemakai. Secara umumnya, jenis alatan mengendong pada satu bahu (sling) walaupun boleh digunakan untuk bayi kecil dan besar tetapi apabila bayi sudah mencapai berat kira-kira lapan kilogram, untuk mendukung dengan jangka masa lama boleh melenguhkan badan.

"Ini kerana berat bayi tertumpu pada satu bahagian badan pemakai sahaja. Oleh itu, lebih sesuai jika ingin mendukung bayi yang lebih berat atau yang sudah boleh berjalan, dengan menggunakan alatan pengendong menggunakan dua bahu. Ini kerana sebaran berat badan bayi pada pemakai adalah lebih optimum," jelasnya.

Menurut Liza, anak boleh didukung menggunakan alat pengendong bermula sejak lahir sehingga berumur kira-kira tiga tahun. Disyorkan supaya ibu bapa mendukung anak mereka menggunakan alat pengendong selagi mereka (pendukung dan yang didukung) rasa selesa.

Banyak kebaikan diperoleh daripada penggunaan alat pengendong ini iaitu membuatkan hubungan ibu dan anak lebih intim.

Selain itu, bayi di dalam dakapan ibu dapat mencium aroma ibu, berkongsi haba dan merasa kontur badan ibu, bersentuhan kulit, mendengar degupan jantung ibu, suara ibu dan dapat disusukan terus pada bila-bila masa.

"Sekarang ramai ibu keluar bekerja. Oleh itu, masa yang ada dapat diluangkan bersama bayi. Dengan sedikit masa pada malam hari dan hujung minggu, penggunaan alat pengendong menjadi lebih efektif.

"Ibu dapat mendakap bayi sambil menguruskan hal rumah tangga, tidak perlu tinggalkan anak bersama orang lain hanya kerana tempat dituju banyak tangga dan susah untuk menggunakan kereta tolak," katanya.

Bagi mereka yang masih baru berjinak-jinak dengan alat pengendong, jika tidak berasa yakin dengan teknik pemakaian, jangan berputus asa kerana kadangkala ia memerlukan latihan dan keserasian bagi bayi.

Jika menghadapi apa-apa kemusykilan, boleh melayari forum Malaysian Babywearers (http://www.malaysianbabywearers.org). Ahlinya sedia membantu dan mereka juga menganjurkan perjumpaan pada Sabtu minggu kedua di Pulau Pinang dan Sabtu minggu ketiga di Kuala Lumpur.

"Menerusi perjumpaan ini, anda boleh bertemu secara langsung dengan mereka yang lebih berpengalaman untuk membantu anda menggunakan alat pengendong dengan cara yang betul dan ideal.

"Nikmatilah hubungan yang intim dengan bayi anda terutama pada tahun awal ini kerana mereka akan membesar dalam sekelip mata sahaja," kata Liza.

Happy Birthday Nur Alya Adriana ♥

2010-05-06T09:31:00.007+08:00

Semalam, genapla setahun umur Nur Alya Adriana binti Mohd Nizam, buah hati kesayangan Mama & Papa ni. Cam tak caya je dah setahun. Rase cam baru lagik pregnant duk bawak die kehulu ke hilir dalam perut. But no worries sayang, Mama still carry you around using our mounting carriers (Thanks to Papa for not letting me destash).

Macam2 perangai anak Mama yang manis ni. Tak kering gusi kalau die ada, sama ada ketawa tengok gelagat die yang lucu ataupun sibuk melarang die nak mengemas rumah. Yes, anak Mama sangat rajin, sume die nak kemas tau. Bawak meja, bawah kerusi, celah2 dinding sume die nak masuk kemas. Pastu, Mama plak tolong kemaskan yang sisa Yaya tertinggal tu. Memang letih nak melayan hehehe

Anyways, milestones 1 year old Yaya :

Gigi kat bawah dah tumbuh 2 batang
Pantang dengar lagu mesti nak joget
Nak tido mesti kene dodoi, lagu favorite : Tanya sama pokok & Bangau oh bangau
Merangkak laju cam peluru, letih nak kejar
Dah boleh jalan 4-5 tapak, sebenarnye boleh nak jalan tu tapi Yaya still takut. Takper take your time sayang, nanti boleh main kejar2 ngan Ammar :)
Tido malam mesti cranky, sebab hati nak main tapi mata mengantuk
Kuat makan, pantang tengok orang makan mesti nak makan jugak
Pantang tengok telefon, kalau bagi pegang handphone dah pandai letak kat telinga cam tengah cakap telefon
Kuat posing, tengah makan pun sibuk posing *hint* Papa nak beli digital camera leh tak?

Ni plak video Yaya ketawa, pun Cikgu amik kat nursery gak

Wait with me Fluffies have arrived

2010-05-05T13:06:00.003+08:00

My new flufflies have arrived. 2 of them.

One from Japan, bought from Zana. The Natibaby Greece in Light Brown 3.7m

So very pretty in real life. My crappy handphone could not captured the color correctly.
It is very soft and not floppy IMO. Quite thin but couldn't decide whether it's thinner than my Zara Infinity. This is an impulse buy so I might let go of this

Action pic. More will be uploaded in Facebook later. Facebook works faster that blogging for me :P

Secondly, my new slipcover. Meant for my new coming on my way SSC. Actually semalam je tp sbb dah sesat alamat, I terpaksa pegi pikap kat PO.

I custom ordered this slipcover from Kak Faten Apootaern for new SSC. Tapi since my new SSC belum sampai, I kasik pakai ini baju kat my JS Orbit. My orbit kan baby size so agak menggelebeh la skit tapi still cun!

My Bohemian Dreams (jeles Jaja ade, i pun nak jugak) actually reverse to rainbow ferns on the other side tp tak sempat nak snap piccas.

Keep waiting for new fluffies next week :)

Emiza travelling babywearing stash - Symphuo RS

2010-05-02T18:34:00.002+08:00

One of our otai MBW - Emiza is offering her stash for travelling. Sekarang die tengah pregnant so cam muak kot tengok baby carrier byk2 yg melonggok tu.. Aku berjaya chop nak cuba Symphuo Ring Sling ni. Memang geram tengok colorway. Nak beli cam tak mampu je. ehehehe
Mari tengok gambar..sungguh lawa

Lawa kan? feels so nice on the shoulder and the symphuo is nearly broken and soft. Tapi sungguh labuh oi. Overall, Wish this is mine

Wait with Me..

2010-05-02T17:12:00.009+08:00

OK..so I went a little bit overboard and bought not 1, not 2 but 4 carriers last month. It started with a Soft Structured Carrier (SSC). I was ISO-ing this carrier for my entire Babywearing career. I blaming Leen for this, yeah YOU Leen. I'm just suppose to help her buy that but all the google-ing and stalking for days in FSOT tends to get you a bit clicky-happy. So, after I helped her buy hers, I managed to buy mine the next day. And for a very different price for basically the same carrier. Mine was pricier. Oh well, it was suppose to be "Return in Like New Condition". I really hope it is really in Like-New-Condition or someone going to get her ass kicked!

That ssc has not arrived yet though. I managed to "tumpang" Leen's Uncle coming back from the States. And he only departed from the States yesterday and now on a short holiday in Switzerland so we (me & Leen) hope that we could see our new SSC next week? Maybe?

Oh what? Which carrier that I bought? Well.. tunggguuuuuuuu I hope I really like it coz it is my first purchase from the overseas.

After weeks of waiting, I've got really restless. I mean, who could survive one month of reading all this racun about the Natibaby Butterflies? They were talking about it in MBW. A few mommas were ISO-ing and pasting photos, referring links. I mean, they are really gorgeous. And the moment I heard there is a Buy 1 get free 1 promotion, I couldn't stop myself anymore. The buying part took almost one week. Deciding what I want, which length should I take, which one should I ask for the free one. Lucky I have Tasha who helped me through the ordeal, and I must admit, it must be a gruesome experience for her.

The lady from Natibaby herself was a very slow-mo person. I mean, hantar satu email, esok baru dapat satu reply and it went on and on for a week. I was not really happy as well cos she was sort of trying to rip me off. Well, I thought it was suppose to be a Buy 1 Free 1 deal but not exactly you see. I've chosen my wrap from Special Offers where the wraps are suppose to have some weaving flaws but should be barely noticeable and should not affect durability and I could get myself a free wrap by choosing any of the Greece, Pearl or Ocean with Linen but when I chosed mine she sent me a quote for the Greece under the reason, they take the price of Greece wraps not Butterflies. I was like, what the hell??? . Your original email said I could buy Butterflies and choose any of Greece, Pearl or Ocean with Linen as the freebie??

After discussing with Tasha, I've decided well, better than nothing, this offer might not come again and paying that price with shipping for 2 wraps is really a good offer. But, I've decided to get Butterflies Silk and get the Purple and Pink Linen butterflies as my free wrap. And I paid only 97euro with shipping to Malaysia.

Pink/Purple Butterflies with Linen ( dah sold out from the website so takleh nak link-kan)

Grey Butterflies with Silk

Cantik tak? Those wraps are going to arrive sometime next week maybe. She said it's within 2-3weeks but according to Farrah & Zana, who already bought them earlier than me, usually it'll take about 10 days to arrive. So I really can't wait

Oh, lupe nak mention, in between my purchase I actually ordered a slipcover from Apootaern for my SSC. I really love the Bohemian Dreams fabric so I managed to tai-chi Kat Faten from Apootaern to do it for me. Here's the sneak-peak. Anyone interested can contact her.So, the slipcover will arrive tomorrow as well .

And oh, I bought something else too, but that shall be reveal tomorrow

P. Ramlee – Tanya Sama Pokok

2010-04-16T21:40:00.001+08:00

Suka sangat lagu ni, tetiba teringat, spontan je nyanyikan lagu ni kat Yaya. Yaya pun suke, die membebel2 cam nyanyi jugak..hehehe..kalau die nak melasak dalam kete, nyanyi lagu ni die duk diam kejap. Klasik tul lagu ni..

TANYA SAMA POKOK
Penyanyi: P. Ramlee
Filem: Anakku Sazali

Tanya pada pokok apa sebab goyang,
Nanti jawab pokok angin yang goncang,
Tanya sama langit apa sebab hujan,
Nanti jawab langit tanyalah awan.

Awan nanti kata aku kandung air,
Sampai tempat sejuk aku pun cair,
Tengok dalam air nampak bayang-bayang,
Campak satu batu bayang pun hilang.

Tanya sama hati apa rasa sayang,
Adakah tandanya nampak dipandang,
Kumbang rayu bunga bulan dan bintangnya,
Punya tanda-tanda hubungan mesra.

Tanya sama hati pernahkah merindu,
Tiba masa lena apa mimpimu,
Masa berjauhan apa nan dikenang,
Bila difahamkan itulah sayang.

Jikalau tidak kerana sayang,
Kuntuman kasih tak mungkin kembang,
Andainya jemu mengganti rindu,
Jambangan mesra tentulah layu.

Tanya sama hati pernahkah merindu,
Tiba masa lena apa mimpimu,
Masa berjauhan apa nan dikenang,
Bila difahamkan itulah sayang.

Alya milestones video 11 months

Pernah tengok tak orang bawak kereta sambil berdiri? Tak pernah? ish ish ish..kesian..
Meh sini nak tunjuk, sila tengok video di bawah ye.

Haa... tu la, orang dah cakap jangan bawak kereta cara merbahaya. Tanak dengar, kan dah langgar pokok..hehehe. Ni aktiviti kegemaran Yaya kalau pegi Jusco Au2. Naik kete control, kadang2 Mama control, kadang2 Papa control. RM3 untuk 5 minit..Alah bolehla..paling lame pun Yaya pernah naik 15 minit, pastu die boring sendiri and nak turun, so far kalu bagi naik 5 minit pun die tak mengamuk bile kene turun :) Rm3 takkan nak kedekut kot, setakat nak tengok senyuman kat muka anak, aku rase tak perlu nak kedekut RM3 hehehe

Next plak video mase gi jalan2 cari makan kat Pavillion, lepas makan kat Food Republic, singgah kat Toys'r Us (betul ke eja?). Suka betul gi situ main2 kat playhouse tu..Ade buaian, gelungsur..lame gak la duk main2 kat situ. Kak bawah video Papa & Yaya main peeka-boo L:)

Ok, that's all for now. Nanti upload video lagi :)

Liza's Traveling Belgian Linen Ringsling

2010-04-13T21:44:00.006+08:00

One thing about being Malaysianbabywearer active member is you get to try carriers, most of the time for free.. (I like!). Sometimes we have temp trades offers or traveling carrier. The first one I get to try for traveling carriers is Sis Aizura's Vatanai Maruyama wrap dulu.. Malangnye time tu takde blog pasal wrap tu..nyesal juga. So this time, I'm so lucky to be first person to try Liza Snuggbaby Traveling Belgian Linen Ringsling

So, it's here..

Sudah soft laa..

Action pic

Surprisingly, for a spoilt padded shoulder person, I do like this ring sling..hehehe

I mean, I've tried gathered shoulder and pleated shoulder, but I love love love padded shoulder but this is quite nice too. Liza is right, if you spread the shoulder correctly and position it the right way, feels quite comfy. I used this for one hour straight and it didn't dig my shoulder.

The material is soft, sturdy, a little denim-like to me. For comparison sake, pinkberry is softer so far. I only tried indoors (shopping malls) so I can't really say if it feels warm outdoor. Will keep you posted

SnuggBaby SSC

2010-04-13T21:36:00.002+08:00

Today Mama received the snuggbaby SSC yang Mama temp trade ngan Iffah with Zara Infinity. Sampai kat opis, so Mama belum dapat test lagi dah berebut2 ngan Papa sape nak try dulu. Papa mmg suke SSC, siap die ajak I o-som lagi..Nasib baik I tak pandai main O-som so I menang tanpa bertanding..hehehhe

Anyways, here are the photos..

See, yaya is drowned in the Snuggbaby SSC. I think this should qualify as toddler carrier. If I were to order one, definitely custom (petite) or maybe an infant harness? My daughter is two weeks to go to become 1-year old but still an infant size..hahahha

I have to lift her up to take out her hand. She's so happy to be "free". hehehe..
p/s : she's not really sitting, i think i need to put a towel or something

The ssc is so comfy on the waist, too bad I already bought one. Or should I still get one?

Jumpsac Baby on Wanita Hari Ini TV3

2010-04-07T21:42:00.003+08:00

Ok, the remaining parts of the show. This one pun banyak tunjuk Yaya tengah cekau mulut Aunty Leen. Nasib baik Aunty Leen sporting. hehehe

Alya in Wanita Hari Ini

2010-04-06T12:05:00.008+08:00

Hehehe.. tajuk gempak je tapi memang betul. Mama & Alya jadi minah2 pacak dalam rancangan Wanita Hari Ini di TV3 hari Isnin lepas. Eh, semalam la ye? Rakaman tu dibuat di rumah Mak Aunty Syazrina untuk promosi barangan Jumpsacbaby.com dan juga kebaikan babywearing. Segment die "Fesyen Gendong".

Jangan main2, babywearing ni bukan hanya untuk bibik2 indon yang korang sume duk streotype selama ni, ni adalah fesyen I-Glam terkini untuk ibu2 moden. Dah ramai dah selebriti hollywood dan Malaysia kita yang babywearing, korang je yang tak tau..hahahha Contoh? Syarifah Aleeya tu pernah dilihat kendong baby kembar die guna Ring sling and Sasha Elite tu pun kendong secara tradisional, pakai kain batik lepas je.

Untuk ketahui dengan lebih lanjut, sila tonton video Part 1 segment "Fesyen Gendong" Wanita Hari Ini.

Cantik tak Mama & Alya? Ramai jugak ahli2 MalaysianBabyWearers.Org yang hadir membantu, Jaja & Baby Mia, Leen, Shahrul & Baby Ammar yg sporting untuk didemo. (Yaya ngada2 takut kene dukung ngan organg lain), Millie & Baby, Farrah with Baby Emir dan jugak Adriana with Baby Alex. Sebenarnye rancangan tu panjang, 30 minit. Ni la yang termampu direkod dan dipost buat masa ni. Credit to Hidayah & Syazrina yang bersusah payah merekod dan mengupload untuk tontonan bersama.

OK, kenapa produk JumpsacBaby ni lain daripada yang lain. Ramai tak antara korang yg terliur nak pakai BabyBjorn yang beratus2 tu? Ketahuila wahai bapa2 dan ibu2 sekalian, BabyBjorn ni adalah sejenis crotch carrier dimana bayi anda tergantung di bahagian bawah (crotch). Kaki die tergantung je kalu korang tengok, yang mana berat bayi anda sume berpusat di bahagian bawah dah menekan tulang belakang.

Nampak glamer kan? Aiceh..barang mahal sume pun glamer. Tapi fikirkanla.

Sebab tu aku beria2 promote babywearing safety. Cara yg betul untuk kendong anak anda. Syarat yang utama : Lutut lebih tinggi daripada punggung. Bermakna anak anda "duduk" dalam carrier tu. Berat die tertumpu di bahagian bontot, seolah2 die duduk. Sebagaimana anda dukung guna tangan macam tu la konsep babywearing yang sebenar.

Ape die korang cakap? Takut baby lemas? Astaghfirullahalazim...

Anak tu melekap betul2 kat badan korang, takkan pakai je kut, takde motherly/paternal instinct ke? Check la every now and again. Pastikan dagu die tak melekap dada, susah die nak bernafas nanti. Kalau dalam stroller tu korang boleh biar je ek? Letak je dalam tu tolak je..pastu berhenti tengok baju tak ingat gak anak dalam stroller tu..lemas ke? kain selimut tutup muka ke? Korang mesti check jugak kan? So, same je la konsep nye. Aku pun pakai stroller jugak tapi babywearing ni lain benefits die. Tak cuba maka tak cinta heheheh

Ok, nak share fakta sikit. Daripada blog Giselle from Nurture Baby..Naturally.

In 2007, there were 1.5 million recalls of baby cribs and playpens. More children (under age of 5) have died in either a crib or playpen than in any other baby nursery product. Cribs and playpens account for 43 deaths a year and 12,400 injuries. How does a baby sling compare? There have been 14 deaths in a baby sling in the last 20 years. Let's repeat -

Cribs and playpens account for 43 deaths a year.
Baby slings account for 14 deaths in the past 20 years.

More children have also died in car seats (non-car accident related) than in baby slings. Every child's life is important and we wish that not one single child had died in these products. Yet, more children have died in common every day nursery products than in baby slings.

See, kematian adalah disebabkan kecuaian ibu bapa sendiri, bukan alatan yang digunakan. Kita orang Islam percaya Qada' & Qadar kan? Lu pikirla sendiri..

Dan kebanyakan kemalangan tersebut adalah disebabkan oleh carrier jenis slingbag. Ape beza die? Mari kita tengok beza dia..

Perbezaan antara pakai ring sling dan slingbag.


RING SLING Baby can be carried upright. Baby can be easily seen by you. Fabric fully supports your baby. Airway is not constricted.	BAG SLING Baby is carried too low. C-like position causes chin to be pressed again his chest. Airway is constricted. Baby is not easily seen by you (rides too low).

Ok, cukuplah bingkisan untuk hari ni. Sape berminat nak cuba babywearing, leh contact aku personally. Banyak yang boleh dicuba ikut kesesuaian dan bajet anda. Aku tak jual product2 ni semua ye..jangan salah paham plak..hehehe

Artikel Babywearing di Berita Harian

2010-03-09T16:55:00.000+08:00

TEKNIK GENDONGAN BAYI

Dakapan erat kunci keakraban si kecil dan ibu bapa

MELIHAT kelibat ibu moden menggendong bayi menggunakan sehelai kain yang diikat secara manual bagaikan fenomena baru di kalangan ibu bapa generasi moden. Ia mengingatkan kembali kepada teknik lama yang masih digunakan secara meluas di kawasan pedalaman.

Namun, kaedah menggendong bayi atau babywearing memberi banyak kelebihan sehingga mendorong lebih ramai wanita bekerjaya melakukannya.

Pegawai Perhubungan Awam Malaysian Babywearers, Adriana Thani, berkata kaedah babywearing atau mengendong bayi mempunyai banyak kelebihan antaranya kebaikan dari sudut fisiologi di mana bayi yang digendong terbukti tidur dengan lebih senang dan kurang kerap menangis.

"Pakar kanak-kanak juga menyarankan kaedah ini kepada bayi pramatang, juga bayi yang memerlukan perhatian khas kerana kajian mendapati bayi yang selalu disentuh serta dibelai menunjukkan tumbesaran lebih cepat dan lebih sihat.

"Selain itu, kaedah mengendong bayi juga dapat menguatkan keakraban antara si pemakai dan si bayi kerana apabila si bayi dibelai rapat pada badan ibu, bayi dapat membiasakan dirinya dengan pergerakan pemakai," katanya.

Kata Adriana, ibu bapa yang kerap mengendong bayi sedar akan kebolehan untuk mengenal pasti perilaku bayi mereka dengan lebih pantas selain dapat mengeratkan lagi komunikasi di antara ibu dan anak malah kehendak bayi dapat dipenuhi dengan lebih cepat.

Tambah ibu muda kepada dua cahaya mata itu, babywearing memberi peluang kepada pemakai untuk melakukan kerja lain seperti mengemas rumah, membeli barangan keperluan sambil mendakap bayi mereka.

Di Malaysia, ada pelbagai kelengkapan babywearing yang ada dalam pasaran adalah pouch, ring sling, mei tai, soft-structured carrier (SSC) dan wrap.

Setiap jenama yang wujud untuk jenis pengendong sesuai untuk kegunaan berdasarkan lingkungan berat dan usia tertentu. Justeru, pengguna disarankan membuat kajian terlebih dulu untuk mengetahui jenis dan jenama pengendong yang paling sesuai untuk kegunaannya.

"Sebenarnya, kebanyakan kaedah atau alat babywearing wujud ketika ini sesuai digunakan untuk bayi yang baru lahir mahupun kanak-kanak yang sudah besar, perbezaannya hanya terletak kepada kelainan posisi yang digunakan dalam penggunaan pengendong itu.

"Bayi baru lahir misalnya boleh dipakai dalam pouch atau dalam posisi cradle carry. Kanak-kanak berumur tiga tahun juga boleh dipakai dalam pouch, cuma dia lebih sesuai dipakai dalam posisi hip carry .

"Jadi, sekali lagi saya tekankan, seorang pemakai perlu membuat kajian tersendiri bagi mengetahui apakah jenis pengendong sesuai untuk dirinya dan bayi," jelasnya.

Melihatkan betapa mudahnya Adriana menggendong bayinya yang berusia setahun, mungkin ini adalah jawapannya kepada ibu bapa yang gemar membawa anak kecil mengembara atau ke kawasan sibuk.

Kata Adriana, babywearing dan kereta tolak bukan perkara berlawanan kerana kedua-duanya mempunyai kelebihan tersendiri dan wujud sebagai teknik keibubapaab yang saling melengkap.

"Bagaimanapun, kekurangan kereta tolak bayi adalah apabila ibu bapa aktif zaman sekarang perlu ke tempat yang tiada kemudahan penggunaan kerata tolak bayi, pusat beli-belah dan juga lapangan terbang yang sesak sehingga membataskan pergerakan," katanya.

Bagi ibu bapa yang berhasrat mencuba kaedah ini buat pertama kali, Adriana berkata, cara terbaik ialah memastikan kedudukan bayi yang baru lahir sangat penting bagi memastikan si kecil boleh bernafas dengan mudah.

"Pastikan dagu bayi tidak terkena dadanya kerana ia boleh menyebabkan ia sukar untuk bernafas. Selain daripada itu, pemakai harus memastikan bayi terletak dalam posisi duduk jika menggunakan tummy-to-tummy carry, hip carry atau back carry," katanya.

Panduan mudah untuk mengetahui sama ada kaedah yang digunakan betul adalah dengan memastikan bayi berada dalam kedudukan optimum iaitu punggungnya terletak lebih rendah dari lututnya.

"Ini menandakan bahawa bayi sudah terletak dengan selesa dan selamat dalam alat gendongannya, manakala untuk bayi yang lebih besar, si pemakai mesti peka terhadap alam sekitar.

"Pastikan tiada unsur merbahaya seperti barangan tajam atau panas di kawasan sekeliling di mana bayi boleh mencapainya dan apabila di kedai, pastikan bayi tidak terambil barangan tanpa membayar kerana tidak pasal-pasal ibu bapanya pula kena tanggung malu. Anda perlu berhati-hati kerana saya sudah pun melaluinya," katanya tersenyum.

Diajar juga cara-cara memakai Mei-Tai.

Well done Adrianna! Harap-harap lepas ni ramai yang akan babywearing baby mereka.

Mothercare Sales & Huggies Lucky Draw

2010-03-08T13:29:00.005+08:00

Yesterday sungguh memenatkan. Daripada pagi sampai petang keluar. Mula2 bawak PIL and family pegi makan kat Papa Rich. Macam biasa, musti mau makan Ipoh Keow Tiaw Sup..slurppp.. Pegila try memang sodap!

Pas makan, singgah umah Mama Yeen jap pegi amik MT Emiza pastu terus pegi The Curve. Jalan2 kat IT Store nak usha desktop set tapi tak jumpe yg betul2 berkenan. Last2 pegi Ikano. Kebetulan memang nak beli pampers sebab dah nak abis pastu nampak ade Promosi Huggies. Beli Huggies Ultra yang jumbo pack M40 tu harga die satu bag RM26.99. Amik 2 bag campur ngan 1 bag Pull-up pants pun RM20++ kot tak ingat sangat main angkat je.. So cukup2 RM80++ untuk masuk Lucky Draw.

Tak sempat bayar pun lagi Aunty tu sibuk suruh draw, Papa die seluk terus dapat 1 carton of Huggies Dry Comfort!! Mase tu tercengang2 sebab ingat dapat satu bag lagi Huggies.. Err..OK dapat lagi satu bag. Pastu Aunty tu kecoh cakap "Wah maNyak lucky u menang satu kotak wooo..Manyak.."

Selepas abis posing memosing ala2 selebriti, nak pegi toilet nak tukar pampers Yaya. Pegi la Baby Room yg dekat Cold Storage. Ade plak pompuan gayat ni pegi lock pintu Baby Room tu. Kitaorang ketuk2 la pintu, ape lak kunci2 pintu ni..kalu BF pun die ade langsir what? Ko ingat ni umah bapak ko? Skali Minah Gayat poyo Omputeh ni bukak pintu then cakap ngan poyo konon irate ar menganggu die tukar pampers anak die "Sorry, we're engage" pastu terus hempas balik kunci pintu.

Aku and satu lagi Mommy Cina kat situ cam tercengang2 je. Bangsat sungguh..Er..congrats for your engagement tapi ko ingat tu toilet berak ke nak kunci2 pintu. Ade 2 bassinet untuk changing apsal ko nak kunci pintu tu bolot the whole baby room untuk ko sorang..Sungguh "tuttttt" la ko ni..

Moving on.. Uh oh..Mothercare Sales. Guys, you are crazy to miss this sale!! Tersangatlah best, discount sehingga 70% kalu tak silap. Aku shopping sampai tak ingat donia. Nizam tak larat nak tercengat tepi tu asyik kene langgar je ngan Mommy2 yg kemaruk shopping..hehehe

3-Month-Old Starves to Death While Parents Spend Hours in Internet Cafes

2010-03-08T13:18:00.002+08:00

South Korea was in shock today after police arrested a couple Wednesday for child neglect that allegedly caused their 3-month-old daughter to starve to death. The husband, 41, and wife, 25, were addicted to online games, spending up to 12 hours every night at Internet cafes, police said.

Known only as the Kims because their first names are protected under Korean privacy law, the couple met in 2008 on an Internet chat Web site. Throughout their marriage and birth of their baby daughter in June 2009, the couple, both unemployed, lived with the wife's parents. The Kims spent most of their time playing Internet games at local cafes called "PC bangs," even during the wife's pregnancy, officials said.

An estimated 30,000 PC bangs are spread throughout the country, open 24 hours. The dimly-lit Internet parlors practically sit on every street corner equipped with high-speed broadband, packed with young loyal gamers, and often polluted with cigarette smoke. Roughly half the Korean population plays online games regularly, according to the Korean Game Industry Agency, which is partly sponsored by the government.

"They called in last September to report that they found their daughter dead after coming back home in the morning," Det. Chung Jin-Won of the Suwon Seobu Police Station said. "They had spent 12 hours, all night at a PC bang."

An autopsy by the National Institute of Scientific Investigation concluded that their daughter's death resulted from malnourishment. The Kims also confessed to police that they had been feeding rotten, powdered milk and had often spanked their crying baby.

Neglecting their daughter, who was born prematurely, the parents were instead preoccupied with raising a "virtual daughter" through an online game called "PRIUS,"' police authorities said. The multi-role-playing game allows players to choose a job, interact with others in the virtual world and even earn an extra avatar or a sub-character to nurture once they reach a certain level.

Really don't know what else to say to that. Perhaps one of the more grotesque stories I've heard concerning parent neglect. It's terrifying to think that simply anybody is allowed to have a child, no matter how f*cked up they are.

How to wear wrap - Burp position

2010-02-25T21:53:00.005+08:00

This position is suitable for babies from the first day after birth.

	1. Hold the fabric taut and open up your back and bring the edges of the front, beneath the armpits you.
	Take the ends behind your shoulders and cross them in front of your chest.
	These tips will hang from your shoulders behind your back.
	Grab the fabric is inside (close to your body) and let it drape at the front again, hanging in front of you, down on the other side of the fabric that is behind your back.
	Hold your baby high on your shoulder (as if you wanted to burp him) in your bare shoulder. . Pick up again the fabric that you had let drop in front of you, above you the baby.
	Stretched the fabric around the baby, your leading the side again behind your back. The baby's legs are folded like in a froggy position
	Stretch fabric that hugs the baby well on your shoulders and tried not to let loose any point behind the back of the baby. Hold your baby in there with one hand above the fabric of your wrap.
	Holding the fabric stretched well around the baby, you grab this edge behind your back to front again, beneath your armpit
	You can "hold" the edge there, underneath your armpit, holding it tightly under your arm. Then take both your hands on the next steps to stretch the other side of the cloth!
	Stretching back the cloth over the baby, over your shoulder. Grab the edge that hangs behind your back without letting the wrap loose at all.
	Now you can release the edge beneath your armpit and keep both ends tightly in your hands. .
	Tie a knot in front of you and you're ready to go!
	You can keep your baby in this position as long as needed to burp him or to put him to sleep!

Hip carry with WCC

2010-02-16T10:21:00.004+08:00

Trying out new ways to tie. this is actually Wraparound Cross Carry (WCC) but once I slide in the baby in position, I scooted her to my hip and tighten the knot. Coz normally Alya is facing me but she likes to look around and loves hip carry a lot, so I maneuvered her to this position instead so that I can still get 2-shouldered carry and she's still happy seeing the world.

What do you think?

Mei's Mei Tai V2 Review

2010-02-06T21:31:00.002+08:00

Dapat jadik tester lagik.. This time try tester Mei's Mei Tai from Kak Farid the creator.
Dulu2 pernah try her MT yg lame dulu2 tapi tak banyak amik gambar sbb mase tu cam tak confident sangat nak pakai MT..

Tayang gambar dulu..

Kene lipat dua kali kat waist sbb ni toddler size kut, body panel die tinggi..ngam2 je timbul kepala yaya..suke sgt shoulder straps die..lebar, comfy and not bulky at all.. just nice tp tersangat panjang meleret2..kalau i punye i dah chop stengah meter..hahha

Tanak review byk2 sbb nak gi amik buckle die dulu nak convert jadi half buckle.. nnt citer panjang2 ek?

OT : mase testing tu tgh ikat kat restoren Ikea. Betul2 depan satu elderly chinese couple. Berpusing2 kepala uncle tu nak tgk i pakai MT. pastu yg lawak, i ikat single knot je sbb dah melilit2 panjang straps tu. Uncle tu beria2 suruh i ikat double knot die takut Yaya jatuh..hehehe

Betul jugak tp kadang2 i malas..hehe

Citer pasal kawan2

2010-02-02T21:29:00.006+08:00

First of all, aku nak remind yg blog aku ni open readers and korang sume tak obligated utk bace entry ni.

Aku pun tak paham kenapa orang nak persoal and mengata sangat aku obses ngan babywearing. Kenapa nak kutuk belakang2 bile aku nak kuar duit aku sendiri nak beli baby carrier yg gunanye untuk anak aku sendiri. Selama ni korang nak berhabis duit beratus or beribu nak beli laptop, blackberry, kamera digital, kasut, baju, perfume or nak gi holiday overseas skalipun ade aku kisah? Ko nak post status facebook cakap pegi dinner restoren mahal2 ade aku dengki? Dah rezeki kamu, duit ko, ko keje penat2 suka hati ko la nak buat ape kan? Ade aku mintak sikit? Ade aku cakap nak menumpang senang ko?

Kenapa ko nak sibuk hal aku? Nak mengumpat, mengata aku macam Indon lah, manjakan anak lah, berjalan or berlanja tak sedar diri? Aku punye anak aku punye suka la aku nak buat ape? Ko ingat aku duk gile2 babywearing tu aku main terjah je? Aku tak research dulu buruk baik die? Ko tak payah berpura2 ambik tahu pastu nak berdolak dalik menyindir aku. Ko takut anak aku manja, So what? Menyusahkan ko ke kalu anak aku manja? Ade ko tengok anak aku? Ade ko dengar die menangis tak tentu pasal buat perangai? Ko yang tanak cuba bender tu atas sebab2 pilihan ko sendiri, so, ko tak payah terasa "bertanggung jawab" nak educate aku.

Untuk kawan2 yg selama ni berpura2 baik depan aku tapi belakang aku mengutuk sakan beramai2. Post status mengata aku "berlagak" bile aku beli barang2 untuk anak aku? Aku ulang sekali lagi, SO WHAT? Duit aku, aku keje penat2 stayback, buat OT, gaji aku naik, AKU MAMPU. Diulang - AKU MAMPU. So, ko tak payah nak "risau" aku belanja sampai tak cukup duit nak makan sekalipun. Kalau aku takde duit, aku tak mintak beras kat umah ko. Don't worry. I'll make sure of that.

Baru2 ni aku sibuk nak beli rumah, so banyak buat research, tanya pendapat orang kawasan or apartment mane yg OK. Aku nak beli pun ikut bajet la.. Bukannye aku nak beli rumah RM200-300k pun. Asal ngam2 lebey kurang bayaran installment cam aku nyewa skang la. So aku aderlah bertanya kat beberapa hamba Allah ni cadangan.

Niat aku tak pernah nak berlagak or nak bangkang mengbangkang "Macam Bagus". Aku tanye sebab nak tanye pendapat, elok ke tak elok. Rupa-rupanya ade pihak2 yg berkecik ati and rase yang aku ni nak berlagak plak bile aku tak nak rumah2 "comel" yang dicadangkan. Agaknye pada pandangan die sebab dulu aku ni tak berduit, hujung bulan selalu "sesak" so taraf2 aku ni agaknye mampu beli rumah flat je pada pandangan korang. Aku pun pelik jugak, If jumlah aku bayar sewa skarang and jumlah aku akan bayar kalau aku nak beli rumah yg aku nak tu SAMA, so mana datang istilah aku nak berlagak tak tentu pasal, nak beli rumah besar2 je. Slama ni aku survive je menyewa so, apa salahnye aku nak beli rumah tu?

Dah aku tak berkenan dengan rumah2 "comel" yg dicadangkan, apelah salah nye. Kenapa ko nak kecik ati? Kenapa dalam otak ko, ko rase aku nak berlagak? Aku bukan tanak rumah tu pasal aku high class, dah aku tak berkenan nak buat macam mane? Kalau tu umah flat skalipun dah aku berkenan, aku beli jugak, apelah bezanye?

Kalau ko tak suka something tu, bukan aku bleh paksa2 ko pun kan? Aku langsung takde niat nak menunjuk. Aku tanye pendapat ko pun, sebab anggap ko cam adik beradik aku sendiri. Ingatkan leh la tanye2 pendapat, rupanye ko ingat aku nak berlagak.

So, cam aku cakap hari tu lah, aku mintak maaf sebab selama ni menyusahkan ko berpikir pasal kebajikan aku. Aku terima kasih sangat2 sebab ko ambik berat pasal aku sampai camtu skali, sampai menyusahkan otak ko berkerja berat berpikir pasal aku. So lepas ni, aku pun tanak nak cite2 pasal life aku dah kat ko, nanti ko susah hati plak kan? Aku pun kawan2 ngan korang dah lame, bukan setahun due tahun, aku sayang kat korang cam sedara aku sendiri.

Kalu aku ni tak layak, bukan standard korang, tak payahla nak kawan ngan aku. Aku pun tak hingin nak menyusahkan. Ko tak paham dengan "lifestyle" yg aku pilih sudah, stop amik tau. Okay?

Aku pun nak cakap terima kasih kat 2 orang kawan aku yg sedarkan aku selama ni kawan2 yg mengaku best frens ngan aku berbulu tengok aku and duk mengutuk belakang aku sampai dorg pun dah tak tahan dah nak dengar. Thanks kawan, tanpa ko, sapelah aku kan? Aku ingat sampai mati sebab bgtau bende ni kat aku.

Tu je, End!

Alya skang dah 8 bulan stengah.. Macam2 akal.. Tido malam dah steady bangun 2 kali minum susu tapi cam biase lah, pukul 6.30pagi mesti bangun. Tak kire hari keje or hujung minggu (tensen) mesti bangun kul 6.30pagi.

Manja-manja Mama

Dah laju merangkak, pantang lepa memang duk bawah meja. Terpaksa letak kat dalam exersaucer sebab takut die kutip bende atas lantai sumbat masuk mulut. Sume bende hulur kat die nak masuk dalam mulut. Tapi makanan die bubur tu takde la makan banyak pun. Semangkuk pastu taknak dah. Sibuk nak melasak. Berat pun tak naik-naik jugak. Slim macam Mama, last timbang minggu ni 6.8kg je..

Suke kene cium. Asyik hulur pipi je,kadang2 hulur mulut nak suh org cium die..hahhaha..noty
Kalau hulur tangan dah tau dah orang nak dukung die, cepat2 merangkak nak gi kat orang suh dukung die. Tapi skang dah pandai kenal orang. Orang die jarang tengok memang die takut, menangis kalau ambik.

Seminggu due ni sibuk berdiri, memanjat.. Hari tu berdiri lepas tangan dalam 5-10 saat sendiri.Terkejut kitaorg tengok. Bulan depan berjalan la kut. Kalau kasik walker mesti lagi laju ni.. Tengok tubuh die tu dah la kecik, citer kat orang, orang cam tak caye ingat kite exergerrate kut.. terpulang la..

Oh, dah pandai sebut Mama, Papa and Yaya. Pastu asyik sebut heyyyyy heyy heyyy.. nyaring die sebut heyy slagi orang tak amik dukung selagi tu la heyyyyy ehehheeh

My Baby This Week -- Your 8 month old, first week

2009-12-13T01:21:00.002+08:00

Perkembangan bayi anda pada usia 8 bulan

Duduk, merangkak dan berdiri

Sekarang, bayi anda sudah berusia lapan bulan jadi dia sudah mula duduk dengan baik tanpa dibantu dan mungkin sudah merangkak atau bergerak ke sana sini dengan menyeret punggungnya (punggung bergeser laju, tangan diletak ke belakang dan kaki ke depan digunakan untuk berlonjak). Bayi anda juga mungkin sudah boleh menarik badan naik ke atas untuk berdiri sambil berpegang kepada perabot. Malah, jika anda dirikan bayi anda di tepi sofa, dia mungkin boleh mengekalkan kedudukan berdiri ini sambil menahan sedaya upaya supaya tidak terjatuh dengan menggunakan perabot untuk bergantung.

Kebolehan bergerak yang baru diperolehi ini menunjukkan bahawa bayi anda sudah mula menempuhi fasa pergerakan langgar dan tumbang. Ini adalah sebahagian daripada tumbesaran kanak-kanak yang tidak dapat dielakkan, dan walaupun kadang-kala jantung anda tersentak sebentar, jangan bimbang, malah cubalah menikmati bagaimana bayi anda menerokai persekitarannya dan menyedari batas-batasnya. Jika anda dapat menahan gerak hati anda daripada melindungi bayi anda, ini membolehkan dia membesar dan belajar secara sendiri. Walau bagaimanapun, anda haruslah berusaha untuk memastikan rumah anda selamat untuk bayi anda. Sebagai contoh, anda perlu melindungi objek-objek yang mudah pecah (supaya tidak jatuh) dan menyimpan perabot yang kurang kukuh di dalam bilik yang jarang dimasuki oleh bayi.

Menggunakan tangan

Bayi anda akan cuba mencari objek yang telah jatuh dan menggunakan jari telunjuknya untuk menunjuk ke arah objek itu. Kini, bayi anda juga mahir menggunakan jari jemarinya untuk mengaut sekeping makanan dan menggenggamnya dengan jari yang tertutup rapat, dan dia juga telah belajar membuka tangan dan jari-jemarinya secara sedar untuk menjatuhkan atau melontar objek. Dia mungkin akan mula memahirkan dirinya untuk pegangan menyepit, iaitu satu cara pengendalian yang rumit yang membolehkan dia mengambil objek kecil dengan ibu jari, jari pertama dan jari keduanya.

Sifat semakin emosional

Kini, emosi bayi anda adalah semakin jelas. Bayi anda mungkin akan melakukan pelbagai muslihat, contohnya, menghantar ciuman kepada orang yang dikenalinya, dan mungkin akan mengulangi perbuatan itu jika diberi tepukan. Bagi bulan-bulan yang seterusnya, bayi anda akan belajar memahami dan meniru emosi tertentu dan mungkin akan menunjukkan cetusan empatinya yang pertama. Contohnya, jika dia melihat seseorang menangis, dia juga mungkin akan mula menangis.

Apabila berpisah

Pada usia ini, kebanyakan bayi biasanya sudah mula menunjukkan tanda-tanda kebimbangan berpisah dengan ibunya. Bayi anda akan mula menjadi segan atau bimbang apabila berhadapan dengan orang asing, terutamanya jika dia penat atau meragam, dan jika anda tidak berada dekat dengannya atau bersamanya, dia akan susah hati. Walaupun anda tidak suka melihat bayi anda bersedih, adalah penting dibenarkan bayi anda melalui pengalaman ini. Masa-masa anda meninggalkan bayi anda dan kembali semula, anda membuktikan kepadanya bahawa anda akan sentiasa kembali, dan ini akan membantu bayi membina kepercayaan dan kebolehannya untuk merapatkan diri dengan orang lain.

Masa-masa anda meninggalkan bayi anda, ciumlah dan peluklah dia dan beritahunya bahawa anda akan kembali. Jika dia takut atau terus bersusah hati, ambil masa yang lebih lama untuk menenang dan meyakinkan dia. Sukar untuk tidak menangis apabila melihat bayi anda mula menangis, tetapi tangisan anda hanya akan memanjangkan lagi kerumitan ini. Elok juga jika terdapat orang yang biasa dengan bayi anda (pastikan bukan seorang pengasuh yang baru) untuk menenangkannya. Jika bayi anda menjadi gelisah apabila berpisah dengan anda pada waktu malam, luangkan lebih masa sebelum menidurkannya untuk memeluknya sambil membaca, berdakap dan menyanyi dengan lembut bersamanya.

Sesetengah bayi mudah untuk berpisah dan sesetengahnya tidak - ini bergantung kepada pembawaan mereka. Setiap anak adalah berbeza, begitu juga tahap penenteraman yang mereka perlukan. Jika anda dapati bahawa bayi anda memerlukan lebih penenteraman, janganlah rasa bersalah untuk melakukannya dan jangan juga bimbang jika anda perlu memanjangkan proses ini. Anda seorang yang mengenali bayi anda lebih daripada orang lain, jadi ikutlah kata hati anda.

Mengeksplorasi objek

Pada waktu ini, kebanyakan bayi akan meneroka objek dengan menggoncang, menghempas dan menjatuhkan objek sebelum kembali kepada cara pengujian yang paling baik baginya, iaitu mengunyah objek tersebut. Idea bahawa kita melakukan sesuatu kepada objek sudah mula timbul, oleh itu, elok sekiranya disediakan tempat di mana terdapat banyak barang yang boleh dibaling, dicucuk, dipusing, dipicit, digoncang, dijatuhkan dan dibuka oleh bayi anda dan ini akan measyikkannya.

Pada tahap ini, bayi-bayi suka melihat benda-benda jatuh, dipungut semula (tentu sekali anda yang memungutnya) dan dibaling semula. Bayi anda bukannya cuba membuat anda marah dengan perangainya ini; dia hanya mendapati perbuatan ini menarik dan mahu melihatnya berulang kali.

Kini, bayi anda juga faham bagaimana suatu objek berhubung kait dengan objek yang lain. Contohnya, dia menyedari bahawa benda yang lebih kecil boleh muat ke dalam benda yang lebih besar. Bayi anda akan dengan mudah mencari barang yang anda sembunyikan, dan dia akan menunjuk kepada gambar yang betul yang disuruh cari. Dan untuk beberapa bulan yang seterusnya, bayi anda akan mula menggunakan objek secara tepat - memberus rambutnya, minum dari cawan dan membebel dengan menggunakan telefon mainannya.

Penglihatan yang semakin baik

Bagi bayi anda penglihatannya kini hampir sama seperti orang dewasa dari segi kejelasan dan persepsi kedalaman. Walaupun penglihatan jarak dekatnya masih lebih sempurna daripada jarak jauhnya, penglihatannya sudah cukup baik untuk mengenali orang dan objek merentasi bilik.

Adakah bayi saya membesar dengan normal?

Ingatlah bahawa setiap bayi adalah unik dan akan mencapai tahap-tahap perkembangan fizikal yang utama mengikut masanya sendiri. Kemahiran-kemahiran yang ditetapkan merupakan panduan yang menunjukkan potensi yang boleh dicapai oleh bayi anda - jika bukan sekarang, mungkin tidak lama lagi.

Dan jika bayi anda dilahirkan pramatang, anda akan mendapati yang dia akan lambat untuk mencapai perkembangan tertentu tidak seperti kanak-kanak lain. Jangan risau, kebanyakan doktor akan memeriksa pembesaran bayi pramatang dari waktu yang dia sepatutnya dilahirkan dan menilai kemahiran yang dicapainya sewajarnya.

My Baby -7 month old, second week

2009-12-13T00:33:00.003+08:00

Your 7-month-old's development

Bouncing up and down
Your baby can now support some of her weight on her legs, and she loves to bounce. What's more, she's probably able to sit unsupported (which will free her hands for exploring), and she'll turn when sitting to reach a desired object. She may even be able to get into a sitting position from lying on her stomach by pushing up on her arms.

Learning to grab
Your baby's fine motor skills are coming along, too. By now she can probably scoop things up with just one little hand and transfer them from one hand to the other fairly easily. She may also be able to clasp her hands together and sip from a two-handled cup (with your assistance). Before long you'll probably notice the noise level increasing, not only because of your baby's babble, but also because she'll find out how much fun it is to bang objects together.

To encourage fine motor activity, place a toy just out of your baby's reach and watch her try to get it. If she cries because she can't quite get it, keep giving her relaxed encouragement - but not the toy. She's just venting frustration and will become more physically confident more quickly if you don't make everything too easy for her. After a few tries, she'll be able to lean forward to grab it and then straighten herself again. Of course, this will give her ideas, and she'll soon be rocking back and forth on her hands and knees, and may crawl or repeatedly roll over to move about the room. Aid her explorations and mobility by dressing her in loose, comfortable clothes.

Teething
While your baby may already have begun teething (the average age is five or six months, though it can start as early as three months or as late as 12 months), about now you can expect to see the two upper central incisors, then the two lateral incisors. Don't be alarmed if your baby has gaps between some of her teeth; teeth often come through the gums at odd angles, and any spaces commonly disappear after all 20 baby teeth have broken through. Once your baby starts teething, you can expect more drooling and experimenting with sounds as she adjusts to having these strange new things in her mouth.

Testing your authority
By now, you may already have found yourself telling your baby that the telephone is not a toy. Or maybe in your house the reminders revolve around her tossing her rattle in your face. The fact is, at this age your baby may begin testing your authority by refusing to follow your directions or entreaties. When she pushes back, she's not being disobedient or willful - she's just curious and simply can't remember things for more than a couple of seconds at a time. The best tactic is to use a simple no, then distract her.

The beginnings of separation anxiety
If your baby is anxious when she's away from you during the day, her concern will be compounded at bedtime. When she wakes up at night, even for a moment, she'll know you're nearby, and will be vocal about trying to get your attention. You'll feel torn between the strong urge to scoop her up and take her to bed with you and the voices of those who tell you that to do so is to spoil her. Don't worry: it won't hurt to indulge her occasionally - not always - by bringing her into bed with you. When the separation anxiety disappears, you can teach her to sleep by herself again. Of course, if you've opted for the family bed, you'll always be close at night.

Your baby's reluctance to be separated from you may delight you but may also frustrate you at times. In either case, it might help to load a laundry basket with her toys and move it - and her - from room to room so you can get the jobs that need doing around the house done while enjoying each other's company.

Recognition skills
Your baby now actively engages in hiding games and can remember that the jack-in-the-box pops up at the end of the song. She's also able to recognise different tones and inflections, and may burst into tears if you speak harshly.

Figuring out how objects relate
Your baby's beginning to understand how objects relate to one another in three-dimensional space. She may be able to sort toys, grouping items such as blocks by size. And if she admires her reflection in a window, and you suddenly appear behind her image, she's likely to turn and look for you instead of believing that you're in the mirror itself.

If you've noticed that a simple game of peek-a-boo is absolutely fascinating to your baby, it's because she's also starting to understand object permanence and loves games where people or things appear and disappear. In fact, one of the easiest ways to keep a seven-month-old occupied is by hiding an object under a blanket for her to discover.

Stimulating toys and games
Your baby enjoys playing the same game over and over because she likes predictability. In addition to peek-a-boo (see above), try adding classics such as round and round the garden and patta-cake patta-cake to your repertoire.

At this age, babies also tend to gravitate toward stuffed animals, both big and small. Most likely, one will emerge as the favourite security object and will soon be covered in dribble and have to accompany you everywhere. When adding new members to your soft toy collection, look for soft, well-stitched stuffed toys that can be washed. Other good toys include balls, nesting cylinders, pop-up toys and large dolls.

If your baby has a favourite plaything or two, you may start to realise that the expression "as easy as taking sweets from a baby" no longer applies. While it used to be easy to remove things from her grasp, you may now find her protesting loudly when you take toys and other things away.

Is my baby developing normally?
Remember, each baby is unique and meets physical milestones at his or her own pace. These skills are simply a guide to what your baby has the potential to accomplish - if not right now, then shortly.

And if your baby was born prematurely, you'll probably find that it will be a little while before she can do the same things as other children her age. Don't worry, most doctors assess a premature child's development from the time she should have been born and evaluate her skills accordingly.

Alya is 6 month old - and demam lagik

2009-11-11T14:33:00.006+08:00

This month your baby's hand-eye coordination is becoming much surer and she may really learn to put her hands to good use. She'll become an expert in raking objects towards herself - ands he'll work out how to move something from one hand to the other. And once she learns that he can hold something in each hand, she'll quickly realise how much fun it is to bang them together. She'll want to practise this new skill, so if you think you can stand the noise, set aside one kitchen cupboard and fill it with baby-safe pots and pans for her to play with.

How your baby's growing

There could be great excitement this month if your baby cuts her first tooth. Usually one of the front teeth in the bottom jaw puts in an appearance, followed by its neighbour and then the two top front teeth. Try to get into the routine of cleaning them with a baby toothbrush (or your finger if you prefer) plus a tiny smear of children's fluoride toothpaste. Making it a game from the beginning will make it easier.

Ini latest milestones update drp Babycenter.com.my untuk Alya, tapi same cam last month, after injection Alya demam + selsema + batuk lagik. Semalam fever die naik 38.5, agak menakutkan so Mama amik EL bawak gi Hospital Damai. Nak pegi Naluri sbb konon sebab still awal, Naluri tak bukak lagi so pegi Hospital Damai. Punyela lame tunggu 9.30 baru Dr. Wati sampai (kalau tau tunggu pegi Naluri je jumpe Dr. Khairul, paed Alya)

Tapi not bad laa, Dr. Wati pun OK frenly gak. Alya nye fever actually dah kebah mase menunggu Dr. datang. Mama sms Mummy Nia (Mel) tanye ape nak buat. Die suggest letak kool fever kat dahi and tulang belakang tanak bagi panas sangat takut kejang or sawan. Thanks Mel, mmg berkesan :)

Ni gambar lepas jumpe Dr. Wati, sian Alya nangis kene sedut hidung kuarkan hingus yg sumbat hidung die.. terus lembek and tertido kat dada Papa die..

Balik tu Alya banyak tido je.. Mama pun tido. By the time Papa die balik keje (papa gi keje gak half day) Alya dah baik demam, Mama pulak yg demam + selsema n sore throat. Hari ni Mama gi keje dah takde sore. So, buat2 sibuk depan pc konon wat kije la ni..hahaha..padahal duk sibuk bace google reader :þ

Alya sakit

2009-10-09T18:54:00.004+08:00

Cian kat Alya tau. Hari sabtu lepas (3hb Mei) pegi amik injection utk Yaya. Lepas inject tu terus naik fever. Esoknye bukan setakat fever, selsema and batuk sume ade. Kesian sangat. Yaya batuk kuat bunyi cam orang tua. Nak tido pun takleh hidung die tersumbat, bleh bernafas ikut mulut je. Sepanjang malam die nangis sedih, maybe sebab tak selesa or maybe die sakit kepala sebab demam selsema tu. Kesian betul bila baby sakit kan? Sebab die takleh nak bgtau ape yang sakit, so nangis je la.

Mama plak hari Isnin dah start training masuk Tier 2. Oh lupa nak update, Alhamdulillah dapat masuk department Papa. Setelah bersusah payah pegi assesment and interview yg tersangatlah susah akhirnya diterima masuk.

So sebab baru first day start keje tak boleh nak ambik emergency leave, dengan berat hati terpaksa pegi keje dan hantar Yaya pegi nursery jugak. Dah dekat lagi sejam nak balik, Cikgu Yaya sms cakap batuk Yaya makin kuat, so Mama & Papa mintak balik awal jugak.

Sampai je terus amik Yaya bawak gi klinik Naluri. Ramai betul orang, lame tunggu dekat sejam lebih baru dapat jumpe Dr. Khairul. Dr. Khairul cek siap buat test H1N1 tau. Maklumlah baby ni kan high risk penyakit ni. Tambah Yaya demam + selsema + batuk sume. Alhamdulillah negatif result die just paru2 Dr. takut ade infection, so Dr. bagi gas and campur ubat untuk cairkan kahak dan lapangkan paru2 bagi Alya senang bernafas.

Alya good girl sangat, sepanjang bagi gas tu die duduk diam je, tak nangis atau jerit langsung, sabar je tunggu. Mama so proud of you! Abis RM200 jugakla sebab amik gas tu. terbang duit tapi demi anak Mama takpelah, Papa & Mama tak makan takpe, janji Alya sihat! Tak sempat nak amik gambar sebab Mama tengah pegang Alya mase tu.

Tapi ni ada sikit gambar masa tengah tunggu giliran jumpe Dr. Ong plak on the next day. Sebab batuk + selsema tak baik2 gak lagi, gi jumpe Dr.Ong for second opinion kat klinik dekat ngan Ampang Point. Tengok la muke die kesian je monyok takde mood sebab tak sihat. huhuhu

Tp now Alya dah sihat dah. Dah start ceria balik, just hidung ada bunyi lagik dan batuk sekali sekala. Dr. Ong cakap batuk maybe amik masa seminggu jugak nak baik. Takpelah janji Alya dah tak demam kan?

Alya belajar meniarap

2009-10-02T13:54:00.008+08:00

Memang funny and sort of kesian tgk die belajar meniarap.

Please excuse the mess on the bed.. tu sume border tanak bagi die jatuh katil hahahhaa.. excuses!

Alya first day at Nursery

2009-10-02T07:33:00.002+08:00

Semalam first day Yaya kat nursery. Mama hantar die gi umah Atok dulu then Atok yang hantar pegi nursery.. Cedih gak tapi long story..huhuh

Masa amik tengok Yaya happy je. Tanya cikgu die tu, nama Yati die cakap Yaya bagus, behave sangat, senang nak jaga sampai die cakap kalau ada 5 orang baby cam Yaya ni pun takpe.. Gud girl kan anak Mama ni kan?

Sebenarnye, semalam ade sorang lagi baby boy masuk hari yg sama ngan Yaya. So memang dorang leh bezakan la perangai sbb Yaya ni jenis ceria, smiley je tapi baby sorang lagi tu jenis manja & grumpy cikgu Yati cakap, asyik nak ngamuk je. Thank God Yaya tak macam tu kan?

Tengok die jaga cam OK, tempat pun bersih, budak2 pun nampak sihat lagi takde yg sakit. Mama dah siap pesan dah perangai2 Yaya ni nak bagi senang skit dorg jaga. Yaya ni asal jangan potong angin die je.. Kalu die lapar jgn la lambat2 kasik susu. Mama dah bgtau cara paling senang nak tidokan die sume. Dah siap pesan kalu die sakit ke jatuh ke bgtau je jgn takut2, jangan sampai melarat esok2 sape yg susah.

Mintak2 sumenye berjalan lancar and semoga dorang jaga Yaya elok2 kan? Tawakal je la

Alya & walker

2009-10-01T13:01:00.003+08:00

Semalam pegi Jusco Au2, saje je jalan2 cari pasal, takde shopping ape pun just beli sapu tangan je. Pastu lalu kat tepi walker tu. Memang ade cadangan nak beli walker/activity center/exersaucer, tapi rase cam Yaya kecik lagik. Saje la test letak die kat dalam walker tu, bukan main hyper lagik..hahahha..gelak2 je kitaorg tgk die

MMS kat Tok Ma & Tok Abah gambar ni, Tok Ma terus call balik cakap abisla duit raya Yaya. hahaha.. dont worry Tok Ma, testing je..duit raya Yaya masih lagi selamat :þ

Kalu ade duit ingat nak beli exersaucer cam kat bawah ni. Tak kisahla Graco, FP or Evenflo sebab rase cam lagi selamat drp guna walker kan?

Terkini pasal Alya

2009-09-28T07:52:00.010+08:00

Alya skang dah nak masuk 5 bulan pada 5hb ni.. Sekejap je dah nak masuk 5 bulan cam baru hari tu beranak kat die. Tapi memang dah macam2 akal dah, dah cerdik :)

Setakat nak masuk 5 bulan ni dah pandai main sembur2 air liur, die kumpul air liur tu pastu die luahkan, org Terengganu panggil "puek" hahaha.. Pening kepala mama. Hari tu raya pertama saja 3 kali tukar baju raya abis basah. Bagi pakai bip skejap je dah basah kene tukar baru. Skang tak yah belikan baju dah, beli bip n sapu tangan je banyak2 nak wat lap air liur. Dah air liur dah start menjejes ni, rambut mama pun gugur punye la byk, cam orang kene sakit cancer je ( mintak jauh drp penyakit ni). Kalau bersyampu, segenggam rambut tu gugur.

Pastu Alya ni geram betul kalu dapat pegang something, semua dier nak sumbat masuk mulut. Kalau dapat pegang jari org memang die tak lepas pastu mesti die berusaha nak sumbat dalam mulut. Kalu ngan Pak Su die rajin la melayan die pegang tangan. Nanti die tilik tangan tu sampai juling2 mata. Konon nak bilang la jari ada berapa. Hehehe

Bile die nak tido memang die mintak soother die. Nak tido je die mintak soother, kalu time lain die tanak. Nak tido sumbat soother, bagi kain (die geram bile pegang kain/sapu tangan die). Pastu die pegang2 kepala, tu sume tanda nak tido la tu. Pastu bile die dah lelap, tangan mesti atas dahi. Cam rungsing memikirkan masalah negara. Hahaha

Alya blum pandai meniarap sendiri lagik, baru nak belajar mengiring. Berat bontot n berat kepala. hahaha. Mak sepupu die beza 2 minggu je tp dah meniarap, mengingsut nak belajar merangkak dah.. duk angkat2 bontot n dah pandai duduk. Tapi die jenis rangka besar n kurus skit, Alya ni jenis debab. Kan manja2 Mama ni kan?

Satu lagi kepandaian baru, baby talk. Bercakap bahasa Jerman, Sweedish, Perancis sume Yaya dah pandai. hahaha.. bising je mulut die tu, macam anak kucing pun ader. Tak caya? Meh tengok video kat bawah ni. Letih melayan haha

Alya yang Botak?

2009-09-25T21:15:00.007+08:00

Semalam, cukup kepala Alya.. rambut die dah byk gugur kene cukur ngan bantal..dulu tebal je rambut lama2 makin nipis. Lagipun sejak lahir tak cukur2 lagi.. ni Atok Lang die yg buatkan.. die mmg tukang gunting rambut pun, memang dah expert dah bab cukur mencukur ni :)

Tok Lang die bukan main standby lagik takut die nangis..rupenye tak nangis pun die main gelak2 je..hahaha Ni gambar sebelum kene cukur kepala. Tok Lang ckp, ni first time cukur kepala baby/budak kecik tak menangis.. pelik sungguh die cakap heheh.. Alya kan good girl, mane nangis :)

JumpSacBaby- Black Damask (Tester)

2009-09-11T08:55:00.002+08:00

Apparently I get to be the first tester for the carrier. Yay! I'm not sure why or how, I think maybe because I happen to meet Syaz to pass Humayraa's Beco 4th Gen Dove then she passed it to me to try. She's still working on it, apparently has a lot to improve and I'm trying my best to be as honest as I can with the feedback so that she can improve and come up with a good product.

I have posted the same review at MalaysianBabyWearers(MBW) forum before but this is for those who haven't read it yet :) So far.. I likeeeee... hehehe I love the black and white prints. it's just so me!

The structured padded waist a bit too wide, but Syaz already looking to it.
I love the chest strap, easy to reach to buckle in and buckle out.
I can actually confidently wear this one without any help from DH.
The padded shoulder strap a bit bulky but yet comfortable. I pun tak sure why padding tu ke belakang skit? Maybe kesilapan teknikal kot.
DD felt just nice and snug and she actually feel weightless compare to I'm wearing the Beco, almost the same feel when i tried APLX before.
body die a bit keras compared to Beco yg memang somewhat heavily padded but doesnt feel warm and APLX yang soft. Macam lilpods SSC lembek sgt pulak if u know what i mean.
Syaz may want to consider to put padded head rest. material die keras and tak boleh nak lipat so my DD main intai2 je hehehe :p
body die tak wide cam tau tau je utk my body and DD . kaki DD pun tak terkengkang and I dont even have to cinch, unlike Beco, i kene cinch skit baru DD muat nak duduk legs out
Managed to get DH to test it, he actually said it's easier to put on compared to the Beco.
My DH said the buckle strap cam halus/narrower skit compared to Beco's, Beco punye strap agak lebar . Die cam tak yakin nak tarik ketat2 hehehe..

I have tried to do a back carry for 1 hour, No back pain or shoulder pain just a bit uncomfortable on the waist due to the waist pad too wide & the positioning of the shoulder padding. The waist padding is actually pushing my jeans down so I dont really like that

I would like to see this carrier with hood. Detachable, meshed or not meshed. There are buttons just below the head rest so I think its for the hood, but Syaz didn't give it to me.

Happy 4 months young Alya

2009-09-08T06:53:00.003+08:00

Your baby may amaze you (and herself!) around this age by rolling over from her back onto his front or vice versa. You can encourage this new ability by placing her on her back and wiggling a toy on the side she usually rolls to. Babies love praise, so congratulate her and smile when she manages to roll. When she's on her stomach, you may find that she sometimes rests from her "head-up" position by putting her head down and drawing her knees up under her so that her bottom goes up. She will practise getting both ends of her body up into the air so that he can eventually achieve the hands-and-knees position she'll need for crawling.

Feeding less frequently
As your baby reaches four months, her stomach has grown bigger so she doesn't need to feed so often -- just four or five times a day. But she'll still gain weight -- her need to feed just tapers off as she gets older, becoming more like that of older children and adults. Now her attention will start to gravitate toward other people and things during mealtimes, and though it's exciting to see she's aware of and responsive to new things, feedings can get difficult. If your baby is easily distracted, try feeding him somewhere quiet for a while.

A new talent for rolling over
When placed on her stomach, your baby will lift her head and shoulders high, using hierarms for support. This mini push-up helps her strengthen her muscles and get a better view of what's going on. She may even amaze you (and herself!) by rolling over from her back to her front, or vice versa. You can encourage this through play: wiggle a toy next to the side she customarily rolls to in case she's interested enough to try again. Applaud her efforts and smile; she may need your reassurance since new actions can be frightening.

Time for solid foods?
For the first four to six months of life your baby gets all the nutrients she needs from breastmilk or formula milk. Still, parents are often eager to start their babies on solid foods. Talk to your doctor before trying yours on solids. You can begin feeding your baby some solids (meaning mushy foods such as pureed baby food or baby cereal) now that her digestive tract is more developed and his tongue-thrust reflex is starting to fade, but many doctors encourage parents to wait until their baby is six months old. Not rushing onto solids can cut down on allergic reactions and ensures that breastmilk and formula won't get crowded out of your baby's diet.

Reaching out and mouthing objects
Your baby is now able to reach out and grab an object, even though he often misses her mark on the first try. Once she wraps her hands around something, she'll study it for a moment and then try to put it in her mouth. You may also notice a lot more dribbling now. Some babies can start teething as early as four months, but the first tooth usually doesn't surface until five to six months.

Encourage your baby to explore and play with a variety of objects. For instance, a clean cloth nappy will occupy your baby for a few minutes. Watch her suck on it, hold it, and discover what happens when she scrunches it up. Give her a light rattle and watch her delight in the sound it makes when she shakes it. An activity centre or cradle gym is a good choice for this stage, as your baby begins to discover the cause and effect of moving a lever and hearing a bell ring, for instance.

Able to play alone now
By now, your baby can play with her hands and feet for a few minutes at a time. A miracle! Suddenly you realise it's strangely quiet in the bedroom so you look in, only to discover that your baby, who so far has needed your attention for most of every waking moment, is amusing herself. Now maybe you can start reading the paper again.

Beginning to understand the role of language
Researchers believe that by four months your baby understands all the basic sounds that make up her native language. Between four and six months, she develops the ability to make some vocal sounds, such as "ma-ma" or "da-da." She doesn't yet connect that sound with a parent, though. By now, she's also able to participate in back-and-forth imitation games -- you say "boo," and she'll try to say it back. You can promote your child's sense of communication through imitating her faces and sounds -- "mirroring" her. Because you react when she makes noises and tries to say something, your baby learns the importance of language and starts to understand cause and effect. She'll begin to realise that what she says makes a difference.

Appreciation for a full range of colours
Babies see colour from birth, but they have difficulty distinguishing similar tones such as red and orange. As a result they often prefer black and white or high-contrast colours. Between your baby's second and fourth months, colour differences become clearer, and your baby starts to distinguish similar shades. Your baby will probably begin to show a preference for bright primary colours now. Some great eye-catchers include primary-coloured mobiles (hung out of his reach), bright posters and visually striking board books.

Getting more selective about people
By four months, your baby may respond to your presence, your voice and even your facial expressions by kicking and waving his arms.

About now, your child, who to this point probably bestowed smiles on everyone she met, is beginning to be choosy about the company he keeps. In large groups or with unfamiliar people she may need time to get comfortable. Allow for transition time with strangers or when leaving your baby with a babysitter. You may also notice that when she's safely in your arms hse's interested in interacting with other people -- especially noisy, boisterous older children.

Happy Anniversary Sayang

2009-08-19T06:29:00.006+08:00

Hari ni 19/08/09 genaplah 2 tahun Mama & Papa kahwin. Rasa cam dah lame kawen, hahahha bleh tak cakap camtu?? Sume org mesti cakap rasa macam baru semalam kan? Kebenarannya, Papa and Mama ni memang serasi bersama. Sorang keras kepala (Mama la tu), sorang lagi lembut hati. So, ngam la. Ingat2 balik dulu first time jumpe mase gi interbiu same2 mase nak mintak keje kat Hell-com tu hahaha..

gambar mase mule2 couple

Mama nak ngorat Papa tp Papa wat dek je. Papa nak ngorat orang lain, setahun kawan baru la Papa nak pandang Mama. huhhuhu.. Start couple 3/6/2006, Couple tak sampai 3 bulan, Mak Papa suruh kitaorg kawen. Mase tu birthday Mama 22/8/2006, Mama ajak Papa balik Terengganu kenal2 ngan family Mama tapi parents Papa plak ikut gi Terengganu jugak. Lepas tu sume fast forward, gelabah nak carik duit nak kawen.

gambar first time balik Terengganu. Panjang kan rambut Papa mase tu?

Tunang pun informal je 26/10/2006, kasik cincin risik dah selamat dah. Dahla datang merisik tak bgtau wat surprise kunun.. Mama plak penat nak menjawab skang BFF sume (nak jawab ngan BF2 gelap lagik) . Sume marah bertunang tak bgtaulah.. bertunang tak ajak la. Padahal sume pun impromptu, tak planning, and Mama sendiri pun tak tau nak kene bertunang hari tu. Hahaha

Lepas akad nikah.. muke pun cover line je hahah

posing2 outdoor lepas jamuan

Janji nak bertunang setahun tapi 19/8/2007, Mama and Papa pun selamat diijabkabulkan dengan 2 kali lafaz ( Papa mesti cakap sekali je, dia kata yang first tu tak aci sebab Tok Kadi tak ajar dulu hahahah). Macam2 cerita la berlaku sebelum nak kawen tu orang cakap dugaan bertunang kan? Tapi alhamdulillah, setakat dah kahwin 2 tahun tak pernah gaduh besar2 and melarat2, gaduh kecik2 sejam 2 jam tu adalah. Bak kate P. Ramlee "sedangkan lidah lagi tergigit"

Hari ni pagi2 datang keje dah dapat email from Papa. Sweet sangat :) Celebration? Nanti weekend kite sambut ye sayang? Double celebration ngan birthday Mama on 22/8 :)

Lastly, thank you for being such a wonderful husband and father. Thank you sebab jaga Mama bagai menatang minyak yang penuh terutama mase pantang hari tu. Bangun pagi2 masak sebelum pegi keje. Terima kasih sayang atas segalanya. I LOVE VERY MUCH!!

I wore my baby to Ikea..

2009-08-17T09:55:00.010+08:00

and people just cant stopped staring. Hahhaaha..

As you all know, Mama ni dah gian BW. Papa pun dah pening kejap nak beli Mei Tai, kejap nak beli stretchy wrap, pastu nak beli Ring Sling..hahaha sume pun nak beli lah. Sebab dah gian sangat nak try wrap Mama potong kain bengkung mase pantang hari tu try. Kain bengkung tu memang cantik, sume fellow BW kat forum MalaysianBabyWearers pun terpedaya ingat orginal woven wrap yg mahal2 youu..

Mase mule2 pakai tu, attempt nak buat Basic Wrap Carry tiru macam dalam video ajar tp memang clumsy habis and cara pakai pun tak kena sebab Yaya hanging by the crotch. Dorang tegur balik and bgtau yg baby punye knees must be higher than the bum.

salah ni sbb kaki Yaya tergantung

Pastu praktis2 lagi and rase cam dah terer skit try pakai mase gi IKEA ngan Mummy Nia & Uncle Den tu. Orang sume asyik pandang je. Maybe dorg ingat Mama ni bibik Mummy Nia kot..hahahha.. sebab Mummy Nia punye la vouge skali Mama plak follow je bawak baby kan? heheheh.. Iya bukkk :þ

Mama rase senang lagi pakai pouch sbb senang nak pasang tp pakai pouch lenguh sblh bahu sbb Yaya kang skang dah semangat. Pakai wrap ni senang sbb weight dah distribute kat due2 belah bahu tp yg leceh part nak pasang la kot tp kalu dah lame2 praktis maybe OK and kalu gune yg strecthy wrap mungkin lagi comfortable.

Tapi Mama nak beli Mei Tai jugak!!!! Papa janji nak belikan masuk gaji bulan depan..yeyeh..
Kalu leh nak beli Snugg Mei Tai baru yg reversible tu. Bleh kan Papa kan? :ô

Yaya & Papa

2009-08-16T19:33:00.003+08:00

Same tak? Sume orang cakap muke Alya ikut muke Papa die? Tang mane ntah? Hahahha.. Yang pasti langsung takde muke Mama kot? Perangai die dah sah2 ikut Mama lah, tang manja, kurang sabar and penggeli tu memang sebijik. Kalu die yak, cepat2 la basuh kalu tak nanti tercabut atap die jerit, memang die geli hahahaha..

Manja2 buyat Mama

2009-08-15T19:33:00.004+08:00

Salam,

Macam biase la, tengah tido, tangan mesti naik atas. Ni kat kenduri doa selamat umah Atok Papa die kat Ulu Klang, kalu Atok Papa maknenye Nyang Yaya la kan? hehehe.. Mama tak sempat nak amik2 gambar suasana kat situ sebab duk sibuk jaga Yaya je. Sume dok geram kat die sbb buyat sangat. hehehe

Nak Beli Mei Tai!!!

2009-08-14T07:21:00.004+08:00

Uwaaaa.. Mama nak beli Mei Tai. Dah jatuh cinta dengan Mei Tai. Skarang pakai pouch sling Lilpods je. Tengok orang pakai bukan main cantik2 design die. Skang tengah usha nak beli 2nd hand from fellow babywearers yang lain. Ade 2-3 up for sales tp belum confirm lagik sebab still looking yang within my small budget ni :P

If ade sape2 nak tolak murah2, please let me know. huhhuhu.. geramnye!! Tengok orang pakai cam best je carry baby.

Gambar2 ni sume curik kat site orang..hehe . These two ladies above using Aidafiqs collections i think

Terjah ke Royale Chulan Part 3

2009-08-12T14:56:00.006+08:00

Continuation..

Lepas acara mandi manda kiteorg wat mini discussion mane nak gi makan. Mule2 nak try buffet kat hotel tu tp tengok die menu cam hampeh..hahahha hotel mahal tp menu die mahal n makanan plak cam biase2 aje. Paling cekik darah, nasik goreng USA die kot 44 hinggit. Thank you very much

Tu blum kire makanan lain lagi kot. Last2 Mel roger boss lame die kat Grand Modesto's, reserved meja untuk 4 adults and 2 infants. Best makan kat situ walaupun Mama & Papa cam cuak2 :þ Mama order pasta Spagetti Ala Vongole share due orang ngan Papa sbb Mama memang confirm takleh abis punye. Uncle Den rase order pasta carbonara. Mummy Nia order Spagetti Ala Vongole gak pastu dorg order pizza margarita (xtau betul ke tak ejaan). Sume sedap and mantap tp Alya pulok sibuk nak menyanyi. Tensen Mama. Plak die ngengada tanak ngan Mama nak ngan Papa pulok. Hihihihi.. shian Papa nak makan pun tak senang.

Lepas acara makan2, kitaorg posing2 depan Modesto's tu sebagai kenang-kenangan. Maybe pertama n terakhir makan kat situ kot sbb kitaorg sebenarnye tak reti nak pegi makan2 tempat camtu. Kalu bukan dorg yang ajak, mampus tak pegi hahahhaa

Terjah ke Royale Chulan Part 2

2009-08-12T10:48:00.007+08:00

So, Mama bawak baju mandi Yaya je. Baju mandi ni Mak Ngah die kasik cap Mothercare. Tengok cam kecik tp jenis kain stretchy ngam2 je Yaya pakai, cute. Jom tengok gambar Yaya & Dania berendam dalam bath tub. Kak Nia die seronok la memang pantang jumpe air, tp Yaya muke pun dah panik + cuak + konpius je Mama tengok..hahahha

MomBloggersPlanet Cutest Baby with TOYS Contest

2009-08-07T11:46:00.021+08:00

Yeay, Mom Bloggers Planet- Cutest Baby Photo Contest datang lagi. Dah lame dah nak masukkan Alya dalam contest ni asyik tak sempat dan takde gambar yang berkenaan. So since skarang Alya dah besar skit dah boleh action2 ngan toys hehehe.. Syarat2 die pun senang je, if ade mommies out there yang berminat pun boleh join and just follow je instructions kat sini. Tema untuk bulan ni ialah Cutest Baby with TOY(S)

Syarat pertandingan cakap kene ada gambar toys, playgym pun toys kan? Bolehla kan Littlemama kan? hehehe Ok, sekarang mari kita berkenalan dengan peserta pertandingan :D

Nama saya Nur Alya Adriana binti Mohd Nizam tapi Mama saya panggil saya Alya atau Yaya. Umur saya baru masuk 3 bulan, tarikh lahir saya pada 5hb May 2009. Muka saya sebijik macam Papa saya, bulat sangat hehehe

Ini mainan baru Yaya, Mama Yaya baru belikan Yaya Fisher Price Rainforest 123 Musical Playgym ni. Mama Yaya bagitau kat Yaya kan, die kata kan, sebenarnya kawan Mama tu Auntie Sukma yang beli dulu kat satu blogspot. Tapi sebab die baru tengah pregnant 25 minggu, jadi dia jual kat Mama saya bagi Yaya main dulu. Auntie Sukma ni ade bisnes jual tudung Mahani, cantik2 tau. Sape2 nak beli tudung bleh sebut name Yaya nanti dapat diskaun. hehehe pastu jangan lupe vote Auntie Sukma untuk SuperMummy Fab Shopping Site skali. Eh eh teriklan plak. Ade komisen tak? hehehe

Kat bawah gambar Yaya golek2 atas playgym tu, comel tak?

Yaya suka sangat playgym ni sebab playgym ni ada warna-warna terang senang Yaya nak nampak sebab mata Yaya kan baru belajar nak fokus. Lepas tu, ada Harimau musikal yang keluar lagu cam lagu jungle bile Yaya atau Mama Yaya golekkan bola die. Yaya suka cakap2 ngan Rimau tu. Oh ye tak ye, lupe nak cakap, Yaya baru belajar cakap tauuuuuu...

Kat bawah nilah gambar Rimau tu, comel tak? Ade burung gak tu tapi Mama Yaya tak tau tu burung kakak tua ke burung enggang. Sape2 yang tau boleh bagitau kat Mama Yaya tak? ;þ

Mama Yaya cakap kan playgym ni bagus untuk perkembangan Yaya. Sebab untuk baby yang berusia antara 3 - 6 bulan dah boleh berinteraksi. Mama boleh memberikan Yaya objek macam bantal kecik, anak patung dan sebagainya bagi membantu baby macam Yaya mententeramkan emosi.

Barang permainan ni pun Mama Yaya cakap kan bagus untuk perkembangan mental saya. Sebab masa macam ni ini Yaya menjadi lebih berwaspada (alert). Dalam persekitaran yang dirasakan selesa dan selamat, baby cam Yaya akan meneroka dan bergerak balas terhadap persekitarannya lebih-lebih lagi terhadap manusia dan objek. Yaya akan membelek-belek barang permainan itu dan cuba membuat pelbagai perkara dengan barang permainan itu seperti mengetuk-ngetuk ke lantai dan sebagainya. Nanti kan, lame2 Yaya dah boleh mengawal pergerakan otot-otot Yaya dengan lebih baik dan juga dapat berfikir untuk mencapai objek yang lebih jauh :)

Ok itu je Yaya nak cite pasal penggunaan barang permainan di peringkat awal pembelajaran baby2 cam Yaya ni. Nanti kalau ade ape2 Auntie2 semue nak komen kan bleh submit komen kat bawah tau. Tukar2 pendapat ngan Mama Yaya.

Oppsss. Tadi Mama Yaya lupe nak pesan yang pertandingan ni ditaja oleh MomBloggersPlanet, PhotoBook Malaysia dan AliceWonders. Kene bagitau tau, kalu tak nanti Yaya tak menang, takleh nak posing2 amik gambar ngan PhotoBook tu. Yaya suke posing2 depan camera ni :)
