Safety 1st : Seat belt for toddlers/kids

Soft seat belt adjuster for kids. Since I like to sit at the co-pilot seat. Mama bought this for me. Mama always remind me to to fasten the seat belt. She said, it's for our safety and Uncle Police will be nice and kind towards me. :-D

Mama bought this at Fab mom outlet. They have 15% less on this item. So, you can get this less than RM30.00. Remember!..fasten your seat belt ok?

Module 3 - Shape!

Hannah pose with mama before go to the Playgroup session. I encouraged Hannah to put on her hijab on that morning. My line was like this : Hannah nak masuk syurga tak?.. if nak and ALLAHsayang kat Hannah, pakai tudung ok?.. and she obeyed me. Well, this is the only beginning. I won't insist her and I didn't put high expectation on her to wear a hijab for 1 hour in the class. Just try to emphasis and make a practice. InshaALLAH, after this..if nak pegi GIANT or mana2 kedai yg dekat, I'll ask her to put on her hijab.
So, today lesson is all about the shape. All of us, got a STAR shape and we need to deco the shape by materials that given by teacher Effa.

Final products : Ops!, sorry...you can't really see my STAR. hehehe..

The best nursing cover

Nursing cover from Fab mom.

Are you looking the best nursing cover that can suit you and your baby at anytime and anywhere?. I bought nursing cover from Fab mom outlet at price RM59.90 and I got 6 pcs of bra pads as a free gift.

Initially, masa test kat sana tak perasan pulak jarang. Once, test kat rumah in front of mirror and hubby..memang jelas JARANG. I think, they purposely use that kind of material for the sake of baby's comfortable during the nursing time. Tak panas la kan. Tapi, sgt lah tak sesuai if nak nursing in front of public, better cari nursing/baby's room. Tapi tu lah, I bought this one untuk pam kat opis nanti. Though, ader special room for us, but still...when pam secara berjemaah, still need to cover.

As for me, I'll find nursing poncho yg cover back and my front..so, tader la nampak perut. Contoh nya macam gambar di bawah :

This one pulak, macam apron. I don't like this style.

So, what I did was....lapiskan satu lagi kain. Baru jahit sikit jer. Well, tak smpi separuh pon. Kain tu licin, kena bersabar plus, mesin jahit tader. Manual guna jari jemari saja. hehehe...

So, if ader mommies kat luar sana nak beli nursingcover...and put the privacy at the priority...please don't buy Fab mom's nursing cover. Since, I 've bought my Raw silk Ring Sling..the tail can be used as a cover when you want to nurse your baby. I've not try it yet. Kena practice dulu kat rumah like I did with my RS. I put Umair in the RS every 5 min every day. Just to make us feel comfortable. And yes! tak sia2 beli sebab Umair suka duduk dalam tu. I'll story more when we went to Pusat Sains Negara today. He slept 2 hours straight in the RS with cradle position. :-)

See the differences? (part 1)

A few hours from the 'oven'

Umair age at 2 days

Home sweet home. Age at 30 days

Sleeping soundly at age 44 days

Looking at mummy and daddy at 52 days.

Alhamdulillah, Umair is getting more alert now. He is able to smile, respond to us, more wakeful during the day, able to lift his head for about 3-5 seconds, enjoy the bath time, he drink 4-5 times per day and 3 times during the night. Latest weight was at 4.62kilos... ( 3 weeks ago). 7 days more to 2 months old.

Let's wear your baby!!!!

Quoted from Wikipedia,

Dr. William Sears, a pediatrician, coined the phrase attachment parenting. One of Sears' principles of attachment parenting is babywearing and he attributes many benefits to babywearing and the in-arms style of parenting.

Claimed benefits of babywearing include:

• Mothers' progesterone (mothering hormone) is increased through physical contact with the infant, leading to a more intimate maternal bond, easier breastfeeding and better care, thus lowering the incidence of postpartum depression and psychosomatic illness[citation needed].
• Infants who are carried are calmer because all of their primal/survival needs are met. The caregiver can be seen, heard, smelled, touched, tasted, provide feeding and the motion necessary for continuing neural development, gastrointestinal and respiratory health and to establish balance (inner ear development) and muscle tone is constant.[1]
• Infants are more organized. Parental rhythms (walking, heartbeat, etc.) have balancing and soothing effects on infants.
• Infants are "humanized" earlier by developing socially. Babies are closer to people and can study facial expressions, learn languages faster and be familiar with body language.[2]
• Contrary to western cultural myths, independence is established earlier.[1]
• Attachment between child and caregiver is more secure.[3]
• Decreases risk of positional plagiocephaly ("flat head syndrome") caused by extended time spent in a car seat and by sleeping on the back. Sleeping on the back is recommended to decrease the risk of SIDS. Cranial distortion resulting from non-vehicular time in car seats has shown to be more severe than in children who develop plagiocephaly from back-lying on a mattress. [4] Concern over plagiocephaly has also led the American Academy of Pediatrics to recommend that infants “should spend minimal time in car seats (when not a passenger in a vehicle) or other seating that maintains supine positioning. [5] None of the babywearing positions require infants to lie supine while being carried. Infants can even be worn while they sleep, also decreasing sleeping time spent in a supine position. "

I bought one pouch last 2 years to wear Hannah. I fall in love with the prints and it's the easiest type to wear your baby. No straps, buckles, no nothing that makes it difficult. I just can't resist myself to get another carrier for UMAIR. ( reason to shopping). Hence, I bought RS from Mamapatch since, RS can be adjusted so, I think my hubby and my maid also can use it while pouch only suit with me.

Raw silk RS. An adjustable, one size fits most, Breastfeeding possible, even for a toddler. Extra fabric provides ample coverage while breastfeeding, Many positions possible (just like the pouch).

Me and Him

One morning, during my confinement period, my daughter claimed that she's having an irritating skin sensation causing a desire to scratch around her shoulder area. I was in the 'farm' at that time, while my maid is entertaining my son . So, my hubby took a TYT oil and put it on that particular area. As a result, my daughter cried and scream because I think the herbal medicated oil made her more feel burn. He then, took her to the bathroom and washed that area using the water and as a result?...she screamed and cried like hysterically people. Hmmmmmmmmm.....

**********************************************************************************

One evening, both of us are feel hungry and I took the fish nuggets from the frozen and wanted to cook it using the oven. Then, my husband asked me one question that I've never thought it before..
" cairkan dulu dlm microwave"
"why?"
" sebab still keraskan...nanti consume more energy to be cooked"
" hmmm...but the instruction said, tak payah cairkan..just fry or grill"
( dlm hati, well...mmg tak pernah terfikir langsung about the consuming energy nih, main masak jer)
*********************************************************************************

He is so particular at one thing = I was blurred at one thing

He is good at waiting = I am impatience

He eat moderately = I love and enjoy eating so much!. That's why...my 6kg of adipose tissue is still stuck and I think, one day it will turn to bad reservoir due to poor porosity and permeability.HAHAHAHAHAH

He loves gadget to bits = I love kitchen aid to the max

He talkative only to people that he know = I am friendly to everyone

He loves last minute plan = I am not a good planner but I like to plan everything ahead

He know exactly where his money gone because he is a wise spender = I also know where my money gone because I LOVE shopping.


Despite every contrast above, we share the same things :

1) We shared the same month of birthday.

2) We both loves to watch movie

3) We love to staying at home rather than, menapak dlm shopping complex tanpa arah tujuan.

4) We love the simplicity

5) My brain cells can't think anymore. That's all for the time being. Hehehehe

MILK owh MILK

Hey..look what I got this morning?. I went to the 'farm' and do the job as usual. And the outcome?..viola!..it was really made me impressed. I got 9 oz for both sides. Which, normally, I only managed to get 7 ( max). I started consumed the ALFALFA together with other vitamins few days ago and I think, it works for me. Perhaps, mommies who are BF their baby can try the ALFALFA. But, I can't guarantee it can works well with you coz it depends on our body. For those who interested to try the ALFALFA with other vitamins, you may go to this website : www.anakkuwiraku.blogspot.com.

Confinement almost over and another 3 weeks to go back to the office...*sigh*

Today is 42 days of my confinement. Tak sangka, dah nak habis pantang dan yang paling tak best dah kena bertugas kembali!. So, that's it!..Umair and Hannah, both of you will be left with bibik.

SInce Hannah next month will turn to 3!. We bought her 3-6yrs Dumex Dugro. Waahh! dah besar Hannah..and her brother, Umair..of course minum susu dari ladang. Till today, I managed to stored total around 150 oz. I only have 2 boxes of milk bottles storage, MLO and Autumnz, the rest , I just used BPA plastic bags. Ingat nak beli lagi botol2 tuh, tapi nanti dulu la.

Bottles and plastics are labelled. Itu pon, terkial2 nak cari which is 1st. Kena beli bekas tupperware yg lagi besar la jawabnya. 2nd session of pumping, around 12 pm. Takder la banyak sgt..but I think..that's the amount Umair take. Love this pump to bits!. Tak dpt FS pun takper la, janji..kena consistent mengepam. Semoga ALLAH memberi kan sy kekuatan dan memudahkan BF utk Umair selama mana yg boleh. ;-) Amin.

ps : Hari ni dapat trial pack SET BF Shaklee yg ada Alfalfa tuh.Dapat2 tros makan! haha..memang semangat sungguh!. Let's see how's the production later k!.

Let's shake!

This is Hannah , while she's 6th old months. Cepatnyer masa berlalu. Rasa baru jer die duduk dlm kerusi tu. Now, she already can speak *kalah abang jual buah kat pasar tani BK yang cuba melariskan buah-buahannya* haihh~~~~

Ader ke patut, everytime nak tido waktu malam, she will offer her daddy a space to lay beside her and her line was like this - " Blank page for you"... instead of " space for you.."




While this is Faradis, my niece. . she just such a sweet and cute girl!. Waktu nih, Faradis pun 6 bulan. Now, tak sabar nak tunggu Umair's turn pulak. Tapi, percaya lah..sesungguhnya, masa berlalu dengan pantas!. Kejap jer anak2 dah membesar. Rase rindu masa derang baby pasti akan muncul suatu hari nanti. Untuk Hannah, Umair, Faradis, Mu'az...semoga membesar dengan sihat dan menjadi insan2 yang berguna, khalifah ALLAH yang terbaik, sayang ibu bapa dan taat perintah ALLAH.

Budak Rambut Maggie makan mee maggie

Kebetulan, topik kali ini tentang maggie. Abang dan Ayom gave their comments on our childhood moment when we're dying craving for MAGGIE!. Masa kami kecil2 dulu, mak dan ayah buka kedai runcit. Memang laku dan glamour kedai Pak Cik Kamal dan Cik Inah suatu ketika dahulu. Maklumla, kami sahaja yang membuka kedai runcit ketika dahulu. Too much sweet and bitter memories. Banyak kali jugak rumah kami kena masuk pencuri semata2 inginkan duit di dalam laci duit ayah. Berapa ramai orang yg berhutang di kedai ayah dan smpi skrang sy rasa mereka masih belum dapat melangsaikan nya. Sampai sy rasa ayah tension dan terus meletakkan label, "ROKOK TIDAK BOLEH BERHUTANG". Macam mana la nak untung berniaga kan?.Sy masih ingat, rokok yang dijual sebatang2 , dahulu hanya berharga RM0.20, haa...itu pun, orang masih nak berhutang!. Sapa tak geram!. Dek kerana kedai juga, rancangan pilihan kegemaran di TV dengan selamba dimatikan oleh ayah, kerana kami diam membatu bila ada customer datang memberi salam. Kami sangat malas ketika itu untuk melayan mereka!. Yerla, zmn kanak2 mmg utk berhibur dan berseronok. Bak kata suami saya, kena suruh henjut adik2 dlm buaian pon die boring!. HAHAHA...well, I couldn't agree more!.

Perniagaan runcit mak dan ayah tiada masa, sabtu ahad pun masih berniaga. Malam2 pon, wpun dah tutup kedai, kalau ada orang dtg, mereka masih boleh berniaga. Ketuk saja pintu, kami bukak cermin, tanya nak apa...ambil, bagi barang dan ambil duit. Mak memang kawal perbelanjaan kami habis habisan, setiap seorang kena ambil jajan/ais krim dengan jumlah sehari RM0.30 sahaja!. Makna nya, ais-krim sebatang , RM0.10/RM0.20 dan bakinya snek atau gula2 takpun, kalau nak makan ais krim atau snek sahaja pun boleh! yang pasti, RM0.30!. Akibatnya, penuh pembungkus ais krim dalam gelung tepi rumah, gara2 kami menyorok curi2 makan ais krim sebab budget dah burst!..hahahaha...kadang2, kami senyap tak bagitau mak, tapi, kalau sakit hati / tak puas hati dgn sesiapa antara kami, mmg ada yang mereport!. Padan muka la kan...

Pasal MAGGIE?. Kami kena kongsi, 2 bungkus maggie utk 4 orang! itu pon, sebulan sekali baru boleh dapat!. Memang seronok sgt kalau mak offer nak masak maggie, rasa nak lompat2 smpi bumbung..sedapnya, mmg tak cukup!tapi nak buat camana, sebab mak garang sangat masa dulu. Kalau minum air bergas, jgn harap dapat minum mcm tu jer, WAJIB tambah air masak. Sebab nya, Maggie dan air bergas mmg terang2 bukan makanan yg berkhasiat!. But, as for my husband, he said that, her mom served him a MAGGIE for breakfast!, not sure how frequent it was and yet, he still pass his SPM with flying colors, further his study at UTP and now, he's an engineer!.. HAHAHAHA...

If nak jugak mkn MAGGIE, we have to wait mak and ayah kluar ke mana2, pegi klinik ke, kenduri ke...mmg saat2 yg ditunggu2. Though we all dah makan nasik, MAGGIE jugak yg akan dibedal!. Pernah, tgh masak...tetiba mak dan ayah balik..mmg HARU! Lintang pukang buang MAGGIE dlm jamban! hahahaha....kalau pun, dah siap masak, makan and basuh everything, mak tetap akan tau yg kami makan MAGGIE!. Tension btol sebab kena marah.

Kalau sakit, demam sket ke, kena jugak pegi sekolah. Mak ckp, rugi tak pegi sekolah..tertinggal subjek yg cikgu ajar hari tu. Tapi, mmg tak masuk la dlm kepala otak nih. Pegi sebab takut mak jugak.Ayah la yang hantar naik motor. Balik sekolah kebangsaan, kena baca dulu or bat revision apa yg ustaz ajar semalam sebelum pegi ke sekolah agama. Itu mmg kena buat!. Bab2 belajar, mak mmg strict!. Tolong kat dapur pun strict jugak!. Mungkin itu sebab nya, kami adik beradik boleh memasak dan suka memasak!. Tak kisah kalau kena masak infact, ada masa kami mmg suka memasak!. Hehehehe...

Sekarang masing2 dah dewasa dan punya anak. Boleh makan MAGGIE sesuka hati, HAHAAHA..bahagia btol rasa!. Mak pun dah tak garang mcm dulu. Giliran kami pulak mendidik anak2...sesungguh nya, membesarkan anak2 zaman sekarang mmg mencabar. Takur tersalah didik, lain jadi nya.


Jemput makan sumer, resepi terbaik dari mama. Sup maggie letak kicap. Sangat tak menyihatkan! yet, I'd enjoyed it very much!.

ps : Bukan senang nak makan mee maggie

Which one is yours?

Mak Lang and Pak Lang, pls check this out and guess?...Umair and Mu'az are more a less have a similar figures or perhaps it's just a coincidence because of the angle of the picture.

I am a professional cow!

Ouch! this is only the beginning. I started expressed my milk only after 9 days of Umair's birth coz I need to wait for the established period plus, I have had an engorgement and crack problem. Sound hurt..yes! it was really hurt! though it temporary. Thanks to Hannah's comb and TUngku modern, at least...it helps me to ease the pain.

I am still express my milk. 3 times per day and Umair already bottle-trained ever since day-1! until now. How time flies..1 month down, another 1 month to go.

Will story more bout the breast pump and breastfeed.

Drama Queen

Gara2 tak dpt layan Powerpuff girl dlm youtube!

End of Module 2

Finally, after school break for 1 month, Hannah's class was resumed back and this the final class for module 2, title " I CAN..". Since mama still in confinement period and there was a back to back visitors come to see Umair, papa was accompanied Hannah to the class.

Hannah was doing fine during the class except, pap said, she's a bit shy and refused to join them singing at the class. Hehehe...that was sooo typical of me. Maybe sebab dah la lama sgt tak pegi school.

Teacher Effa taught us how to make a musical instrument during art and craft lesson. She gave us a colorful paper, disposable plate and nuts. Papa help me a lot! and I'd really enjoyed it to bits! bcoz I love to do this kind of job. :-). Now, let's enjoy the pictures~






This is my 1st time in my life to get my own academy certificate. Mama will keep it nicely of course!
