Tips for mommy-to-be

Assalamualaikum semua.

Okay, harini saya sangat rajin sebab nak bagi tips yang sangat berguna to all mommy-to-be on how to handle your newborn baby, how to handle them when they cry, how to breastfeed them, how to bath them, how to.. how to.. how to.. Well, the tips is not actually from me. It is actually came from this book. Taaadaaaa

 

 

Actually this book is translated to Bahasa Melayu. Seriously, for me buku ini sangat berguna since I get pregnant until now and after on. For pregnancy women, it really helps you a lot on your diet, what you should eat, what actually happened to your body, what is the baby looks like in your tummy, what is the baby development and so on. And this book also educate you what you should do for every weeks of your pregnancy. The best thing is its explain on what you should do when your contraction came.  How should you breath during contraction, how should you breath to push the baby out. Pendek kata, semua benda dia cerita secara detail. Ops, dah nama pun buku orang putih kan, so model and gambar-gambar banyak yang sensored la kan. But who cares!! Untuk pembelajaran kot. So for me, this book is very useful to all mommy-to-be. It helps you a lot emotionally and physically.  Especially masa mula-mula lepas bersalin. Macam mana nak dukung baby, nak susukan anak, nak mandikan anak pun tak reti. Kekok katanya. Biasalah first time kan. In fact, I still depends on this book until now. Thanks to my sister who bought this book and for your information this book was handover from my eldest sister to my 2nd sister then to 3rd sister and lastly to me. Sampai lunyai-lunyai dah.. hohoho..

 

Okay tips yang kedua adalah khas untuk ibu-ibu yang bekerja yang ingin menyusukan anak menggunakan susu ibu

 

'Perah susu anda sebanyak yang boleh lepas anda bersalin'

 

Ini untuk stock susu anak anda semasa anda bekerja nanti.

 

This tips coming from my mistakes. Dulu tak ada siapa nak bagi tips dan salah diri jugak sendiri sebab tak tanya dan tak study mengenai penyusuan ni. Pam susu pun tak beli. Then lepas bersalin, breast bengkak susu sampai basah-basah baju sebab susu asyik meleleh keluar kan. Anak pulak masa tu asyik tidur je.. Masa tu tak teringat langsung pun nak perah. So, I just let it bengkak dan sumbat je small towel dalam bra sebab takut basah baju.

 

Bila anak dah sebulan barulah terkial-kial nak beli pam susu dan buat stok. Haaa.. amik kau!! Masa tu anak tu dah pandai dah.. hisap botol pun dah tak nak! Asyik nak nenennnnnn je.. Setiap 2 jam mesti merengek nak nenen. So, bilanya nak buat stok kalau dah 2 jam asyik nak nenen je? Breast pun masa tu dah tak sempat nak bengkak. Masa tu mula lah menyumpah seranah diri sendiri.. Masa susu banyak dulu kau pergi bazirkan, taknak pam untuk buat stok. Bila dah lagi 2 minggu nak masuk kerja baru terkial-kial! Time tu bila perah memang dapat sikit je la dan time tu jugaklah nak ajar anak hisap susu pakai botol. Memang dia menangis, meraung tak mahu!! Bila anak menangis macam tu, mama dia pun apa lagi, menangis la jugak!! haru betul.. Pernah jugak minta tolong suami tolong bagikan susu botol maybe anak tahu bau badan ibu dia kan. That's why dia refuse kot tapi still dia tak nak!! Hah, time tu punyalah menyesal...ish..ish... Nasib baik saya dapat sediakan 5 botol stok susu itupun setelah berhempas pulas memerah dan nasib baik bila hantar anak ke rumah pengasuh, dia nak pulak hisap susu pakai botol. Thanks to NUK bottle (saya ada cerita mengenai NUK bottle di sini). Tapi bila pengasuh bagi je lah.. Bila balik rumah, try bagi susu dalam botol, memang dia taknak sampai SEKARANG! Dan disebabkan stok susu saya tak banyak, saya perlu memerah susu setiap hari di tempat kerja time lunch and before balik kerja for tomorrow punya stok. And that is what i'm doing until now! No, i'm not complaining! Kerana disebabkan Delisha tolak susu botol dan susu formula, Alhamdulillah saya dapat berikan susu ibu sepenuhnya kepada Delisha sehingga kini. Walaupun sekarang masih lagi mencuba untuk mencari susu formula yang sesuai untuk Delisha. Almaklumlah, anak dah setahun, demand makin tinggi tapi susu makin kurang. Kesian kat anak sebab sanggup berlapar tunggu mama dia balik kerja gara-gara lapar susu.

 

So, apa pengajaran yang anda dapat dari cerita saya tadi?

 

1) Perah susu anda sejak dari lepas bersalin lagi. Jangan bila dah sebulan, dah nak masuk kerja, time tu lah kau nak perah susu bagai..

 

2) Ajar anak hisap susu botol. Kalau sesiapa yang nak fully breastfeed dan bekerja, boleh guna susu yang anda perah dan letak dalam botol susu.

 

3) Pada sesiapa yang nak campur susu ibu dengan formula milk (mungkin susu badan terhad), ajar anak minum susu formula dari awal lagi. Kalau tak,memang susah nak ajar anak minum susu formula sebab dia dah terbiasa minum susu ibu sejak lahir lagi. Sedap sangat katanya.

 

This is based from my experienced being a new mom!! Masing-masing ada pendapat dan pengalaman yang berbeza. So, it depends!

 

Just my 2cents.

 

 

 

 

 

Hello KK!!

What? Its been two months I didn't update my blog.. In fact, I tak jenguk lansung pun blog ni.. Fuh.. eh, sebelum tu

Assalamualaikum semua..

Hi all, sorry for the late update. I was sooo damn busy back then. I have to complete my research proposal report and at the same time I have to write a paper and send for the conference at Sabah. And Alhamdulillah I managed to done it both. For my Research Proposal Defense (RPD) was going very smoothly and I learnt a lot. Thanks to the panels for some tips, opinion and give some guide to me. At first, of course la rasa gementar, gelabah kan.. I was so nervous kot! ye lah, dah lama tak present. Last present masa VIVA master 2 tahun lepas. Tapi Alhamdulillah, the RPD went so smoothly and I had positive comments from the panels.. Alhamdulillah.. So, back to the conference. My supervisor asked me to submit a paper to conference. So, I chose to go to International Oil and Gas Symposium (IOGSE 2013) at Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. This was organised by Universiti Malaysia Sabah. Why I choose this conference? Because all accepted papers will be published to Journal of Applied Science.. Tak ke two in one tu? Conference dapat, journal pun dapat. And another reason is of course la HOLIDAY!!! hhahaha..

 

Okay, from the beginning I didn't managed to complete and submit the paper to the conference because the full paper deadline is on 30th July 2013.. Ye lah, I was concentrated on doing my proposal report for my RPD. This one lagi penting kot sebab this is for my PhD requirement. Yang conference tu, kalau tak sempat, boleh apply conference lain kan. Tapi Alhamdulillah sempat.. I submitted my paper on end of August.. Hahaha.. sebulan lewat! Tapi Alhamdulillah they still accept! That's all matters..

Erm.. and another thing is I will bring along my family and my parents to KK!! hahaha.. So, yang akan pergi me, my husband, Delisha (my 1yo daughter), my dad and my mom. The reason is i'm still breastfeed my daughter. I still can't find any formula milk that suits her. Semua dia tolak!! So, takut anak kelaparan that's why kena bawak dia n my hubby sekali. Tapi bila fikir-fikir balik, kesian pulak my hubby kena jaga dia sorang-sorang kan. So I asked my parents to join. At least, diorang boleh pusing-pusing KK while I attend the conference kan.. Takdelah hubby I boring je..Yay!!

 

So we gonna fly on 8th October until 12th October.. The funny is, my dad dah booking dah hotel kat Kundasang! Hahaha.. Semangat bercuti punya pasal!! Nampak sangat bercuti sambil berconference. Sepatutnya berconference sambil bercuti.. kekeke..

So, that's all for now. I will update the story about the conference and KK later.

See u then, bye!!
