2012 : The reflection :-)

Assalamualaikum wbt

A wonderful year of  2012!

HeLLo Parenthood !
 29 April 2012 was the moment I became a mother to my hero Adam Naufal bin Azhar. After almost 40 weeks of pregnancy, I successfully gave birth to a healthy 4.0 kg baby boy in Pusat Bersalin Kohilal, Taman Melawati. From that day onwards, everything changed so fast! Naufal already weighed 9 kg and to see him growing was really unbelievable. Although, there were few unavoidable incidents, we embraced them with open hearts. The  challenges that came along the way were embraced optimistically. Alhamdulillah, we managed to go through the hurdles in raising up Naufal as best as we can. The priceless experiences have somehow taught us to be a better parents , InsyaAllah.

PJJ no more
For me, PJJ stands for Perkahwinan Jarak Jauh. I'm so glad that it's finally over! No more PJJ for hubby and I. Alhamdulillah, hubby got transferred to KL few months before Naufal was born. Ramai kata, rezeki anak. Subhanallah, indeed memang rezeki anak! No longer a cikgu, hubby is now an officer is KPM. The decision was not easy to make but we didn't have much choice back then. It's ok dear, once a teacher always a teacher. I will support you endlessly in whatever you do. The sacrifice you made just to be with us was something that I will remember forever. We love u daddy!!

2012  was also a wonderful year for my darlings. Puterk gave birth to Nur Damia Hannah. That was only a month after Naufal was born. Intan got married to the love of her life. She is now a happy Mrs. kerol! And recently, Mira got engaged to her soulmate, Sol. Alhamdulillah!!

 From SEGAR to SEMENTAS
Oh, tempat jatuh lagi dikenang apa lagi tempat first posting! Kawan-kawan seperjuangan, pengalaman mengajar,memori indah, suka duka sepanjang hampir 4 tahun memang tidak terbeli di mana-mana dan akan ku kenang sampai bila-bila. Thank you SEGAR for such priceless experience. SEGAR will always be in my heart. *teary eyes*

 

 

 

 

 

SEMENTAS here I come!
Allah has answered my prayer. I've always wanted a school that is near to my house. Alhamdulillah, dapat bertukar ke SMK Taman Selayang. Only 10 minute drive from home, syukur sangat-sangat!!
Hopefully, I will be a precious asset and never a liability to my new school. InsyaAllah! Ameen..

 

GOODBYE 2012!!

to err is...ME

Assalamualaikum wbt

For the past seven months, I didn't take any vitamins because I thought I can survive without them. Due to my so-called hectic lifestyle especially towards the end of the year, I know I should not put all the blame on all the works stuffs. I started to be less concious about my diet. Don't get me wrong. I am NOT on diet because Naufal is still breastfeeding. When I was too busy or too occupy with my work, I tend to skip important meals. Sometimes, I just had oreo biscuits or chipsmore for lunch!! Memang tak kenyang tp diri sendiri yang terlupa....that Naufal still breastfeeding and I should supply him with highly nutritious breastmilk. Kalau dah makan pon x jaga, skip sana sini.....the quality of my breastmilk was obviously declining...

Patutla Naufal asyik sakit memanjang! He was even diagnosed with anemia due to low iron in his body. Dr. Asmah (naufal's paed) was curious about this. She started to suspect that all these could possibly link to the breastmilk. Note: breastmilk is supposed to be the best food for baby until he reaches 6 months. However, since I'm not eating healthily and not taking any supplement, Naufal didn't get adequate nutrition from the breastmilk such as iron. Seriously, I don't know how to describe my feeling when Dr. Asmah was explaining all these.

She gave me very useful advice that are worth-sharing :

* take the same supplement that we take during our pregnancy
- We need vitamins that are useful not just to our body but also to our baby. Kalau ambil ubat sembarangan, besar kemungkinan khasiatnya x sampai ke baby.

*eat healthily. Skip meals NO MORE

*prepare your own meals. Kurangkan makan dekat luar sbb kita xtau tahap kebersihan makanan yang dibeli diluar. Contoh: sayur mungkin tidak dibasuh dengan bersih.

My current supplement.
For you,  Naufal.

Just a reminder for myself.
Give our body the right support not only during pregnancy but also after giving birth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

oh nappy rash!

Assalamualaikum wbt


First and foremost, I need to emphasis the fact that I just want to share my experience. I'm not a doctor but I have friends who are doctors and those with similar experience. Seriously, even though you are not a doctor/ nurse, there are few basic info about nappy rash that u need to know. Bukan apa, bila dah jadi nanti senang nak handle .

 

1. if you are using disposable diaper (DD), don't delay the diaper changing routine!

I'm using Cloth diaper (CD) for Naufal but when we travel we prefer to use DD instead. We made a huge mistake by not changing Naufal's diaper when we had our 6 hour non-stop drive from Jitra - KL. Coincidentally, Naufal was having high fever during that time. So it was not a 'clever' thing to do when u have an ill baby on board. The diaper has to be changed as frequent as possible.


2. Prevention is better than cure.

Since Naufal was born, mak long advised me to use Drapolene. It's a nappy cream that can be used at every nappy change. It's safe and works well too. Most importantly, the price is reasonable and can be found at most pharmacies and hypermarket. Hmm dah bunyi macam duta drapolene ni. Tapi betul, sepanjang guna drapolene memang bahagian punggung Naufal x pernah jadi nappy rash. Nappy rash cream truly helps to prevent and treat nappy rash. Gunakan tanpa was-was. Banyak je lagi jenama lain di pasaran sebenarnya, ikut mana yang serasi dengan baby kita la kan..



3. What happen if the nappy rash is unavoidable...
Like in our case, salah sendiri...kesian la baby Naufal ni haaa..tak pasal2 merah punggung sebab mommy n daddy tak salin diaper. Ampun ya sayang! lesson learnt! Ok, bila punggung si anak dah nampak merah...drapholene or krim yang sewaktu dengannya mungkin dah x berkesan. Try sapu daktacort and zinc oxide cream. Mula-mula sapu dulu krim Daktacort biarkan seketika sapu pula dengan zinc oxide, InsyaAllah rasa pedih akan berkurangan dan melecet pun akan hilang..Zinc oxide cream berkesan untuk melindungi kawasan melecet dr rasa pedih bila kena air kencing. haa ala2 shield gitu. Oh yer, kalau dah merah di bahagian bawah tu JANGAN sapu bedak pula......melecet boleh bertukar menjadi teruk!ouch...



huhuhuhu

4. CD ...DD.. Napkin?
In my opinion, I would strongly suggest..CD! Seriously, Naufal didn't get any nappy rash when he use CD. Most importantly, don't delay CD change routine. Sama ja kalau tak tukar, melecet juga nanti. Kalau DD, I would suggest Mamypoko brand. Memang mantap sistem serapan cecair utk diaper Mamypoko ni...harga? hmmm agak mahal. Again, the basic rule is still the same, jangan bagi baby pakai pampers terlalu lama.

Sebaik-baiknya, elakkan dari terjadinya nappy rash. Kesian betul dengan Naufal bila kena tahan pedih bila nak basuh punggung dia waktu melecet. Tapi bila dah jadi tu kena cepat-cepat letak krim yang berkenaan..Klau boleh, bagi kawasan yang merah tu sentiasa kering. Kalau lembap lagi merebak & lambaaaaaat sgt baik. Kebetulan Naufal kena masuk ward time jadinya nappy rash, ish ish ish..bilik beraircond sgt2 tidak membantu! Bila balik rumah cepat sikit recovery processnya.

biarla apa yang berlaku menjadi kenangan....belum kena belum tahu.hopefully no more nappy rash dah after this.







the part 2 (-_-)

Assalamualaikum

I've been procrastinating to write about what happened to Naufal for the pass three weeks. Aduh, now it turned out to be something outdated. Seriously, dah masuk angin pun cerita lama hehe n who's to be blame for that? lalalala..

The main important thing is that I have learned a lot from what had happened. Just a quick sneak peak of what had happened to mommy's little boy :-)

Naufal was WARDED for 5 days!
Sedih luluh hati bila terkenang nasib anak yang baru 7 bulan tapi dah warded. Due to Naufal high fever, doctor had to increase the dosage for his antibiotic. Because of that too, Naufal had quite severe nappy rash and diarrhea. Diarrhea and nappy rash were not supposed to happen at the same time, but then who are we to say that?? Tak tau mana silapnya. Ya Allah, kesian tgk Naufal time tu. Bila cirit terus menggelupur sebab bahagian punggung dah macam melecur! Bila Naufal kerap sangat cirit birit doktor terus suruh stop menyusu badan untuk seketika sebab usus dia tidak boleh serap laktosa dari susu badan ataupun dikenali sebagai lactose intolerence. kesian anak mommy, kena minum ISOMIL without lactase. Hurm, memang naufal taknak la kan. tapi bila dah lapar sgt, nak tak nak terus telan jer.....oh :-( Memang berat badan naufal terus menurun! Doktor tak galakkan bg apa-apa makanan sebab nak bagi enzyme yg hilang sebab cirit birit ada balik. kesian..kesian...
