Sakitnya bersunat!!

Mika telah berjaya disunatkan pada usia 66 hari.. Sedikit terlambat disitu tapi still aku nak cakap "weeeeee, anak teruna mummy dh besar!" huhuhu
Aku tak pernah berhajat pun nak sunatkan cik adik sayang ni awal2, mainly because aku mummy yang over!! Dah terbayang nak buat majlis yang ada berarak2 tu la kononnye (poket nipis lagi ada hati nak buat majlis besar-besaran!). Bila en suami kata nak sunat awal, of course i said "NO!"
Tapi bila pikirkan en suami saya seorang penakut lemah semangat dalam bab2 sunat ni, risau pulak kalau trait tu jatuh kat Mika.. Mana tumpah kuah kalau bukan ke nasi kan? Terbayang plak aksi pujuk memujuk or worst acara aci kejar nanti lagi haru jadinye :p pastu pulak si #tet# cakap xpayah la kesian baby kecik lagi, terus aku tukar fikiran! Dan2 tu aku setuju nak sunatkan~
Mula nak buat kan Umra tp Dr Rafi cam reluctant nak buat, katanya nanti xde memory si Mika ni.. Then bila kami insist nak jugak, dia suruh tunggu sebulan.. Hence the delay!! Pastu bila tanya je xde sapa nak entertain kami, terus google cari tempat lain. 1st choice pusrawi tp bila call xde orang nak entertain jugak weekend..
Hasil bacaan web susuibu.com, dapat tau Pusat perubatan Naluri ada jugak khidmat khatan, doc diimport from Pusrawi.. So call terus buat appointment tuk last Thursday~



Mika busan tunggu doc sbb xsabar nak sunat!
Aku telah dipaksa masuk oleh en suami (takut la tu nak hadap sorang2).. Doc tu suruh aku duk tepi sebab takut aku nangis muahaha pesan 20x kot jangan nangis~
Mika pulak mula2 sengih2 je kene agah ngan daddy, tp lepas kene bedung dah berbunyi~ bila doc cucuk bius kat bird dia, terus pegi high volume sambil geleng-geleng pala xnak sunat! Sepanjang nak tunggu kesan bius, melalak la si kecik tu!! Bila doc dok snip2 kat bawah tu pun dia melalak, geleng2 macam sakit sangat!! Padahal marah orang bedung and tak dukung and pujuk dia~ sebak jugak aku tgk dia melalak2 camtu tapi aku diam je kot2 termenangis kang xmacho pulak! Nak dekat 20 minit jugak dia melalak camtu sampai tersedak2.. Keluar je bilik doc, semua patient lain pandang2 hihi Mika pulak teresak2 menangis~ sedih la kot.. Sumbat botol pun merepek2 lagi marah benor dia!! Malam tu Mika sedikit moody and mengada2, minta gayut lebih lama (balas dendam la nih!)~
Esoknye Mika dah back to normal, ceria macam selalu dah telah bertukar menjadi superhero malaya.. Mikaman!!!



p/s: Mikaman tengah sibuk berperang dengan mata dikala blog ni ditulis!
p/ss: Mikaman dah nak masuk sekolah Khamis ni.. Mummy happy tapi sedih haihhh~

Baby Language!


This is something worth sharing.. for the parents and parent-to-be out there, hope this is helpful!! I've tested below language on my boy and it works like 50% of the time, maybe because Mika read the wrong book while he's in my womb! haih~


p/s: kadang-kadang he combines a few words in one sentence.. cam eh eh eh.. nehhhhh nehhhh ngekk ngekk.. apa la budak nih... so tatau la yang mana satu dia nak kan..

BF Diary: The Beginning

When I found out that I was pregnant, I did lots of reading on the don’ts and do’s. My main research was on breasfeeding. I was surrounded by bf-ing mothers and have read enough of successful stories, so dah set in my mind to fully breastfeed my baby~
Malangnya, despite all my research.. I still have rocky start. First day after Mika’s arrival, I was too tired and sleepy sebab I was given a dose of pethadine during my labor (which doesn’t reduce the pain pun though I managed to doze off for a few minutes in between my contractions)! On the way to my room, dorang letak Mika on my chest for a while, and all I can do is to smile at him and belai rambut diab yang lebat! I did tell the nurse that I want to feed him tapi dia suruh aku tido dulu. While I was sleeping, they gave FM to Mika.. pfftttt!! Lepas tu Mika slept all day long sikit pun tanak susu. Aku try jugak sua miss B with the nurse help tapi Mika tidur keras!
The same thing happened on the second day!! They fed him FM before sending him to my room and there’s no sign of milk. Time ni tak sabar nak balik dah, cause aku nak cepat-cepat berurut. Miss B pun dah start mengeras. Unfortunately for me, aunty aku yang suppose to massage me is not feeling well so we have to postponed the massage session. By this time, I was feeling soo frustrated because I have to continue to feed Mika with FM.
Hari ke-4 baru la nampak bayang susu lepas berurut, walaupun sebelah je. Excited giler, aku terus sua kat Mika. Sakitnya tak payah cakap la since he didn’t latch properly. Aku pun tak berapa pandai lagi, so agak merana la nak menahan sakit! The same night, I started to pump because Mika was sleeping all the time. Nak gerak tuk feeding pun tak berjaya. Alhamdulillah, dapat la jugak dalam 1 setengah oz. Then urut the other side sebab nak kasi keluar jugak. Berkat kesabaran and kegigihan aku dan hubby, the same night keluar jugak susu. Hasilnye hampir 3 oz jugak berjaya diexpress!! Pastu I managed to spill some milk pulak, rasa nak menangis je time ni!
For the next 2 day, we start to mix formula with EBM. I have started to pump every 2 hours to increase my milk supply so boleh la fully bf. Penat giler ye pump every 2 hours around the clock but to ensure Mika get the best, ku tabahkan hati bangun pagi buta then spent one hour to pump. Nasib mak ada, so siang boleh la jugak ganti tido.
Hari yang ke-tujuh, Mika dah fully on breastmilk through bottle sebab my nipples hurt like crazy tak sanggup nak kasi direct kat dia. My aunt dah bising-bising, cakap biar la berdarah pun I have to direct feed my baby. Normal katanya. Haruslah aku ignore the advice, takut karang aku terus stop satu hal pulak. Plus I’ve read a lot on breastfeeding kan, so haruslah aku tau yang it won’t hurt if your baby latch correctly. Puas aku search online camne nak latchkan baby correctly. Lepas seminggu, aku gilir-gilirkan bottle and direct so that nipple ada masa nak heal in case of incorrect latching. By this time, my milk supply has stabilized so that I started to freeze some. Sikit-sikit lama-lama jadi bukit, ye tak?
After two weeks, mak balik leaving me alone to take care of the little one. Hubby pun dah start keje. Sebab tak biasa lagi, aku terkejar-kejar nak settlekan semua benda. Time nak pump pun limited, so I have to reduce my session to every 4 hours. After a week of this strenuous routine, start la ada problem with my milk supply. Disebabkan aku terlampau stress and penat, susu tak nak keluar sangat so stock merundum menambahkan stress. Aku pun mula la research camne nak keluarkan susu sampai la aku kene bengkak susu yang sangat sakit tak ingat. Berjalan pun sakit ok! Last resort, pegi for another massage session with my aunt. Lepas berurut, mencurah-curah keluar but then bila balik and pump.. bluergghh still tanak keluar.. menangis2 aku sambil mengepam!  Lepas tu, both breast take turn pulak bengkak susu. This week kiri, next week kanan. Sangat mencabar minda!!
Now, 2 days away to 2 months.. Alhamdulillah milk supply amat menggalakkan although takde la macam setengah orang sekali pump sampai berbelas oz, aku dapat 5-7oz pun dah bersyukur~rezeki Mika la ni and hopefully this continue for the next 22 months, amin~ bengkak susu tu still ada occasionally but I now have a husband who knows how to massage my breast, tak payah nak pegi berurut ke Kajang lagi.. hahaha boleh jadi mak bidan dah ye cik abang? tak sanggup nak massage breast sendiri time bengkak susu sebab it's really painful, keluar air mata tahan sakit!!
Sekarang ada dilemma lain pulak.. I don’t have enough space to store my ebm! My freezer dah penuh and hubby dah bising sebab dia takde space nak ikan ayam segala.. muahahah freezer telah dikidnap oleh Mika sepenuhnya!!



p/s: orang kata nak seribu daya, tak nak seribu dalih~ aku bersyukur sebab aku masih mampu bertahan walaupun macam-macam ujian datang, Alhamdulillah! setengah orang macam senang je menempuh alam breastfeeding ni, you guys are soo lucky~!
p/ss: Terima kasih cik abang sayang~
p/sss: to all mommy-to-be out there, be prepared and kuatkan semangat sebab it's not an easy journey. Jangan give up ok!!

LittleWhiz.com

punyalah excited sebab parcel from LittleWhiz.com dah sampai.. last Monday dorang ada buat warehouse sale so Autumnz double zip lock tu jadi sangat murah.. ok mahal sikit from the Expo kat midvalley, tapi hari tu aku pandai sangat beli 4 kotak je perasan macam boleh tahan lama 4 pack tu.. sekali dua minggu dah habis satu pack.. memang tak cukup la nampaknya kalau nak menunggu the next expo! so nak tak nak terpaksa la stock up lagi. so bila tengok sale kat LittleWhiz terus aku order yang 6 packs for RM55..
bila aku track order, estimate time should be 1st Dec. tapinya hari ni baru sampai.. tak efficient langsung.. sanggup postponed plan nak tidurkan Mika sebab nanti delivery sampai kang terbantut usaha~ Mika tidur je (lepas 2 jam berdodoi and minum susu!) terus aku buka kotak.. TADAAA~~

salah barang daa.. terus aku double check order aku kot-kot aku yang tersalah click kan..
sah-sah aku order zip lock kan!! heee bengang aku.. terus aku call dorang pastu apek tu boleh blur-blur plak bila aku cakap dia salah hantar barang.. dia suruh aku send email pulak.. nasib baik dorang akan datang to collect bottle ni.. kalau dia suruh aku pos, memang nak kene maki la kan..
