Milestone Husna at almost 6months

 Husna is almost 6months.
She's still on exclusive breastfeeding *syukur.
Still drinks 4bottles X 4oz in good days.
She smiles a lot, gets really excited whenever we say "POMMMM!!!!"
She  loves having people around her especially men.
She can accept Bumbo seat now..so less seating on our lap.
She has mastered guling-guling but crawling is still not there yet.
She threw tantrum when we put her in the rocker.
She only has one toy, a teether I bought 2 weeks ago.
No teeth yet at this moment.
Loves being held standing while looking out the car's window.She can grab things now and put it in her mouth.

Jawapan ttg menutup periuk nasi peniaga Premaxx Baby Bag Sling

Salam dan Selamat Sejahtera,

Antara komen yang saya dapat dalam entry Katakan tidak pada PREMAXX Baby Bag Sling - Surat Buat kawan.

salam kak rozy.

terima kasih kerana memberi maklumat yang bagus ttg premaxx baby sling bag ni. Terima kasih juga kepada kak Ummiamsyar atas pendapat yg diberikan.

Utk pengetahuan kak Rozy, Premaxx baby sling bag ni ada 2 kegunaan. iaitu boleh digunakan dalam posisi baring dan juga posisi duduk. Mungkin utk bayi yg baru lahir tidak sesuai digunakan tapi Premaxx baby sling bag ni masih selamat digunakan utk bayi yg berumur 8 bulan hingga 2 tahun dlm posisi duduk. Seperti kata Kak Ummiamsyar, sekiranya kedudukan dan posisi bayi diletakkan dgn btol serta pastikan muka bayi
dikeluarkan..insyaallah..premaxx baby sling bag ni boleh digunakan. lagi pulak, premaxx baby sling bag ni boleh dijadikan alas tido bayi kalau tidak digunakan utk mendukung bayi.

Cuba kita lihat dlm setiap gambar yang diletakkan. lihat bagaimana posisi dan kedudukan bayi serta lihat bagaimana tangan si ayah/ ibu yang memegang bayi tersebut. Kak Rozy boleh lihat di sini----> http://honeybun-corner.blogspot.com/2010/12/mari-dekat-mari-dekat.html

Terima kasih sekali lagi saye ucapkan kerana akak memberi info berguna sekaligus membuka mate saye ttg keburukan dan kebaikan premaxx baby sling bag ni. cuma, saya agak terkilan bila kak rozy letak link premaxx baby sling bag tu. ia seperti menutup periuk nasi org lain utk memulakan perniagaan. apa yang saye cuba sampaikan..Premaxx sling bag ni masih selamat digunakan utk bayi kerana premaxx baby sling bag ni boleh digunakan dengan dua cara. kedudukan baring dan juga kedudukan duduk.. :)

minta maaf sekiranya kata-kata saya ade menyinggung perasaan kak rozy.sesungguhnya,apa yg baik dtg dr Allah dan yg buruk itu dtg dr kesilapan saye sendiri.

TQ :)


Ini adalah jawapan dari salah seorang Admin Malaysian Babywearers, Farrah.

Hi,

Saya daripada Malaysian Babywearers. Saya ingin menyentuh mengenai penggunaan Bag Sling secara amnya.

Memang betul, saya setuju bahawa bag sling adalah selamat digunakan SEKIRANYA cara penggunaan adalah betul. Bahkan, konsep ini tetap sama digunapakai bagi penggunaan mana-mana sling atau baby carrier secara amnya.

Walau bagaimanapun, apa yang merisaukan ramai pihak ialah produk seperti ini dengan jelasnya adalah hanya "separa selamat", iaitu secara lebih spesifiknya, ianya kurang selamat digunakan untuk bayi-bayi kecil yang baru lahir. Isu ini amat membimbangkan, lebih-lebih lagi sekiranya ibubapa yang menggunakan bag sling seperti ini tidak mengetahui tentang cara-cara penggunaan yang selamat.

Berapa ramaikah peniaga di luar sana yang akan menyampaikan mesej berkenaan keselamatan penggunaan bag sling ini kepada pengguna? Rata-rata kebanyakan peniaga lebih mementingkan keuntungan berbanding keselamatan nyawa. Ini boleh dilihat sendiri di mana-mana, ramai peniaga hanya tahu menjual, tetapi tidak tahu cara-cara penggunaan yang betul apalagi selamat bagi produk yang dijual.

Isu bag sling ini bukan lagi satu isu yang remeh. Ia telah menyebabkan beberapa kes kematian bayi dan telah menjadi satu isu yang besar terutamanya di Amerika Syarikat sehinggakan produk terbabit diarahkan untuk ditarik balik daripada US market. Ia satu isu yang besar sehinggakan "babywearing" secara keseluruhannya telah dianggap tidak selamat oleh ramai pihak sehinggakan ramai ibubapa amat takut dan bimbang untuk menggunakan sling untuk bayi mereka. Ia menjadi satu isu yang besar hingga menyebabkan ramai pembuat dan penjual sling yang gulung tikar, bahkan hingga ke saat ini! Ia menjadi satu isu yang besar hinggakan seluruh babywearers di seluruh dunia bersatu bersama-sama untuk memboikot bag sling secara terus!

Berkenaan Premaxx Baby Sling, mungkin puan boleh lihat sendiri di laman web produk tersebut (http://www.premaxx.com/en/products/baby-bag/index.aspx), yang mengatakan bahawa produk tersebut boleh digunakan dalam kedudukan baring bagi bayi 0-5 bulan, dan dalam kedudukan duduk bagi bayi 5-18 bulan. Puan boleh lihat sendiri bagaimana pembuat produk berkenaan menggalakkan penggunaan bag sling tersebut untuk bayi yang baru lahir. Puan boleh juga baca seterusnya di bahagian FAQ (http://www.premaxx.com/en/pages/37/faq.aspx), yang mana manufacturer tersebut telah menekankan tentang unsur-unsur keselamatan yang perlu diambil perhatian apabila meletakkan bayi dalam kedudukan baring. Namun sejauh manakah mesej ini sampai ke para peniaga dan lebih-lebih lagi kepada pengguna?

Kami tidak menggalakkan penggunaan semua jenis Bag Sling, tidak kiralah mana-mana jenama pun, sama ada Infantino, Premaxx, Munchkin, dan sebagainya. Selagi ianya sejenis bag sling, ia tetap memberikan risiko kepada bayi-bayi baru lahir.

Antara cubaan menutup periuk nasi peniaga lain dengan usaha untuk meningkatkan kesedaran awam tentang bahaya penggunaan bag sling demi menyelamatkan nyawa seorang bayi, rasanya semua orang tahu mana yang lebih baik.

Kami amat mengharapkan sokongan daripada semua pihak demi keselamatan nyawa bayi kita semua.

Sekian, terima kasih atas masa yang diberikan untuk membaca komen saya yang panjang ini.

MBW Admin


Saya benar-benar berharap agar mesej yg cuba disampaikan oleh kami di Malaysian Babywearer adalah jelas sejelas jelasnya. Terima kasih kepada semua yg telah menyebarkan mesej ini kepada kawan-kawan. Terima kasih yang tidak terhingga dari kami.

Pinky Geli Girly Wrap - Didymos Eva

She is thoughtful, isn't she?

 I bought this wrap from a nice mother from FSOT naturalmamas.com. Trish is from Sweeden.
The wrap arrived with 2 lollipops and 4 chewing gums, a card with nice messages and tied with feathery string. The first twos were actually hidden away from Hadiff, I was was was with the halalness.

It is a Didymos Eva, woven with natural cotton, a lovely name that fits for this luscious pinks and purples beautiful striped colorway. Purrrfect for my beautiful manja Husna..

Husna buried under the wrap..love the colours..so soft and subtle.

I was actually searching for a girly colour wrap in size 2 or 3 which I need for Rucksack Tied Under Bum. When I bought this size 4 wrap, I was thinking to chop it to 2.7m and the balance will be used for my Mei's custom SSC.

At this moment, I am crazy over back carry..and Husna likes it too!

Well, it will not go as plan. Fuhh!! suddenly so sayang to chop and size 4 allows me to do RUB TIF (Rucksack under bumb tie in front).
Eva is cushier than Natibaby stripes, the different is quite significant IMO eventhough can hardly differentiate by touching.The weave is in fact more dense.

Sorry for kelam pic, this was taken during senja..me too eager maa..

 
 In a nutshell. this wrap will stay with us for a long timeeeeeeee...:)
 and definitely deserves our loves.

Katakan tidak pada PREMAXX baby bag sling - Surat untuk kawan.

Salam dan Selamat Sejahtera,

Saya sangat sedih. Sejak akhir-akhir ini Premaxx Baby Bag sling sudah masuk ke dalam pasaran Malaysia dan semakin laris seperti larisnya pisang goreng panas di hari hujan. Kesal kerana saya tahu baby sling seperti ini adalah berisiko jika digunakan. Saya sedar tidak ramai ibu bapa diluar sana tahu tentang aspek keselamatan baby wearing. Sebab itulah, surat ini saya tulis untuk menceritakan bahaya2 yg mungkin boleh terjadi jika baby bag sling ini digunakan terutamanya jika bayi kecil digendong di dalamnya.

Tahukah kawan semua yg beberapa kes telah dilaporkan di Amerika dimana beberapa bayi telah mati ketika digendong di dalam baby bag sling? Sila baca artikel ini: Baby deaths raise concerns about Infantino slings. Disebabkan kes ini jugaklah tema minggu babywearing pada tahun ini adalah "Babywearing Safety: Enjoy The Benefits".

Antara bahayanya:
1- Bayi yang diletakkan di dalam bag sling itu mudah tergelungsur dengan hidung akan press pada badan pemakai menyebabkan bayi sukar untuk bernafas.
2- Disebakan bayi berada paras yg rendah, pemakai sukar untuk mengawasi keadaan bayi.
3- Bentuk seperti bag menyebabkan postur bayi dalam keadaan melengkung menyebabkan saluran pernafasan melengkung dan menyebabkan kesukaran pada bayi untuk bernafas.

 Diharapkan kawan2 sekalian dapat luangkan masa membaca pautan yg saya letak dibawah ini:-

http://www.babyslingsafety.blogspot.com/
http://www.nurturebabynaturally.com/2010/03/what-is-bag-sling.html
http://www.sleepingbaby.net/safety.php

di Malaysian babywearer juga ada beberapa pautan yg sangat bagus di baca.

http://malaysianbabywearers.lefora.com/2010/12/21/links-and-resources-on-babywearing-safety/#post1

Oleh yg demikian, saya sangat berharap jika kawan2 mahu membeli sebarang babywearing gear, sila dapatkan nasihat dari orang2 yang betul2 memahami babywearing (tak semestinya penjual, penjual ada yg tidak tahu tentang aspek keselamatan!!).

Sekian dari saya yang kesal dengan jualan Premaxx Baby Bag sling. Harap kawan2 boleh sampaikan pesanan ini kepada rakan2. Kita tidak mahu apa2 yg tidak baik berlaku pada anak-anak kecil di Malaysia. Jika kawan2 dapat tahu yang ada dikalangan rakan2 membeli sebarang jenama baby bag sling, harap dapat nasihati mereka jangan menggunakannya dengan baby kecil.

Yang Benar

How to Support Breastfeeding without Demonizing Formula

This article was shared in Facebook.
Gosh I love this.
Would love to share with my friends too and also for future reference.

 http://9davids.blogspot.com/2010/12/how-to-support-breastfeeding-without.html

In fact, even Malaysia is mentioned in the article.
Should be proud of it!!

Read it. It is worth spending your time.

My Tips on How to Win a Contest.

I love participating in contest and am considering myself as a contest junkie. I started to participate in a ‘serious’ contest when I was in form 3. A letter to Haji Sidek (badminton icon) in a daily newspaper and I won a consolation prize.

When R.U.M.A.H.K.A.M.I was born, I took contest a lil bit more serious. Took part in photo contests and managed to win a prize or two. MY RAK BUKU GIVEAWAY is the 1^st first place I won and many more followed after that.

Several bloggers had asked me if I care to share with them some tips on how to win contest. These tips are merely based on my experience and how I do it.

1-CHOOSE WISELY

Be selective. Choose contest that worth the efforts. Skip contest that requires you to write a 300words essay but the winner shall be chosen based on lucky draw. This type of contest is not worth the time you will spend.

2- PASSIONATE and GET MOTIVATED

Yes, ideas shall come if you really like the topic. You will write a good entry on your subject of interest. For an instance, I may write almost on everything about babywearing but total clueless on fashion or shoes. Nevertheless, you can also be motivated with the attractive prizes that are offered.

3-UNDERSTAND

Write down the requirements. Spend your time to understand the question on How or Why etc etc. Ask the organizer to explain more in order to clear your doubts.

4-DO RESEARCH

This is the contest that you really want to win. Ask Pakcik Gugel. Compile as much as possible the information. Spend some time on doing this.

5- BE CREATIVE

You must make your entry to stand out from the rest. Include rhythm, attractive photos, good jokes etc, etc. If the contest requires you to include information with limited words, use point form and put in as much as possible all the points you have gathered. Avoid sentences that have same meaning.

6- READ IT AGAIN and AGAIN

You can pick up misspelled/missing words and by doing this, you will normally get a clue on rearranging the sentence to make it more fascinating.

7- RECHECK

Ensure other requirements are obliged to. There are contests that require you to put up the banner on side bar or link to the sponsors’ websites. Recheck your URL.

Last but not least, pray hard if you really want to win.

If you have other tips on this, please share.

Thanks.

Spanking and JANGAN!!

R.U.M.A.H.K.A.M.I is currently undergoing the high current of Terrible Twos Phase of Hadiff. (more on how to handle Terrible Twos)
Almost everyday you could hear us say "JANGAN"and most of the time at the top of our lungs.
Gosh! Hadiff could be very difficult sometimes.
Wonder where he got so much of energy.
He could not sit still for even 1minutes!
Except when he was concentrating reading his book "A,O,S,T,O" or "TUJUH, LAPAN, SEMBILAN".
He could run to and fro from end of the hall to the back of the kitchen several times non stop! (But not that our kitchen pun besaq sangatkan).
Well, the victim was always Mr Asben as I might just pretending busy with Husna. :p

As a parent, we do believe that to discipline a child, spanking or physically intimidating the child should not be involved. And most of time, we tried our best refrain from spanking him.

It always started with a soft "JANGAN" then the pitch was gradually increased to

"JANGAN!JANGAN!JANGAN!" if the warning was not listened to.

Then, it followed with "Hadiff tak faham ka Abah (or Ummi) cakap jangan?"
then a wailing cry from Hadiff-->> usually I could not stop myself from saying "Jangan nangis"
Hadiff is such Radio Buruk (my sister said that) (but he is still my charming boy).
a spank or two would normally followed after that.

Is spanking healthy? How effective is spanking as a form of discipline? 

I found this beneficial articles from Parenthots. This will be my reference when it comes to handling Hadiff and may be Husna in the future.
http://parenthots.com/features/focus_on_the_family.aspx

My summary on this article and from several sources.

1- Spanking can be a healthy disciplinary act if it is for reason of disobedient and rebellion.It must be with a defined rules not because of emotion or stress.
2- Spanking must not be too gentle, if it is doesn't hurt, it will be not motivate the child to avoid consequence in the future.
3- Corporal punishment, when used lovingly and properly, is beneficial to a child because it is in harmony with nature itself.

I do believe that discipline should come with a consistent rules. NO today means it will always be NO forever. 
When I am in the "ANGRY" mood, Mr Asben will stays "COOL" and vice versa. We try to balance it so that Hadiff will know who he should turn to. So far it works with us.

IBW'10 Contest 4: The Importance of Safe Babywearing

1st prize 

Mystery gift worth RM200.00 sponsored by Meistai

ENTRY 5

by ROZIYANNA AHMAD

It is important to practice Safe Babywearing because to ensure the well being of our baby in the carrier and allow us enjoy all the benefits it offers. Below are the reasons why it is important to practice Safe Babywearing.

1-     SAFE BABYWEARING is choosing suitable carriers that support the baby’s spine naturally to avoid putting baby at risk of deformation and infection.

2-     SAFE BABYWEARING is reading the manual, understands it and follow the manufacturer’s guideline to avoid any mistake during use that may jeopardize the safety of the baby. The recommendation of age and weight must also be obliged to reduce the risk of the baby falling out of the carrier.

3-     SAFE BABYWEARING is placing the baby in correct position to prevent from suffocation which can occur when the baby’s chin slumps on his own chest, kinking the airway.

4-     SAFE BABYWEARING is not involving in dangerous activity while babywearing such as jogging or handling sharp object. Activity that has risk of falling should also be avoided. Eventhough, babywearing allows us to be multi tasking, we should put extra cautious when dealing or near hot area such as stove or oven. This is to prevent unavoidable accident.

5-     SAFE BABYWEARING is ensuring that no fabric is obstructing the airflow of baby’s breathing. Rebreathing air is dangerous and toxic due to high level of carbon dioxide. Besides this, it can also reduce the ability of the baby to breathe.

6-     SAFE BABYWEARING is always aware of the baby’s response. If anything undesirable occurs, fast countermeasure or action can be taken.

Last but least, by practicing Safe Babywearing we can enjoy the bonding between us and our baby to the fullest. It is the greatest expression of love by holding and carrying our baby.


I knew that all contests that requires photos are all tough contests. I knew I would not be able to win so I'd put all my efforts on essays. And my hard works are paid off!!

Congratulations to all winners!
Thanks to all sponsors and MBW admins. Can't wait for next year contests!!!

Stash shot-ring sling

 

 My stash shot for ring sling.

As of today, I have 9 ring slings and another 1 WCRS (Wrap Conversion Ring Sling) made of Natibaby Palla Ussheri which is currently with the maker for conversion. 

From Left to Right

1.  Kalea Baby Golden Wheat with Tea Time Tomato accent.
2. Comfy Joey Hawaiian Sunset size M
3. Jumpsac Baby Jungle Birds in Kiwi Size M
4. Sleeping Baby Silk Ring Sling Size S
5. Comfy Joey Hunur Collection Mocha Souffle Size S
6. Didymos Indio Rubinrot WCRS, SBPed by Snuggbaby
7. Didymos Indio Lilac Gathered shoulder
8. Mamaway Cotton
9. Jumpsac Baby Water Mesh Sling Size S

Coming soon, Natibaby Palla Ussheri WCRS, padded shoulder by Jumpsac Baby.

This is my latest addition to the family.

Didymos Indio Rubinrot WCRS, love it to bits...

Jalan2 at Rope Walk for 1 hour with Husna sleeping peacefully and comfortably in the sling. 

I did not feel the shoulder strain at all which is expected from a WCRS..

 

 

Why I need more than 1 ring sling..

I use ring sling most of time eventhough I have 1 mei tai, 3 Soft Structure Carrier and a wrap.

Well,it is all depends on the situation.

Cold, windy day or early morning, I will grab a thick ring sling like WCRS.

Hot day or crowded place, I normally use linen or mesh sling.

Sea side, pool, swimming - I use water mesh sling (easy to dry)

Apart from this, I need to match my outfit with my sling..baru syiokk!!!

Justifiable tak reason2 dia atas? Ngeeeeeeeee...

HighEsT OuTpUt pAgI TaDi

GoLdEn wHeAt kalea Baby Ring Sling

I bought a cheap ring sling di FSOT TBW.
Golden Wheat with Tea Time Tomato accent.
I actually stalked the thread (bookmark the page) and hope that the seller would further reduce the selling price and no one would be interested to buy... Hahaha like a jackpot..I rembat terus once it was reduced to less than USD40. I wanted to try Kalea shoulder.

I love the colour, it is striking with beautiful embroidery stitching.
There is also a hidden pocket with velcro closure (would appreciate more if it zip).
IMHO Kalea shoulder is almost similar like SBP/pleated.
The RS linen fabric is oredi soft and broken.

I jUst LoVe ThIS!

I just love this pic and couldn't help myself from putting it here.
Hadiff has started to show his love on Husna despite kadang2 jelous.
Sometimes he called Husna "Adik Ambut Acak" and said "Auuwwww.." konon Husna has sharp spiky hair..haishhh... never fail to make me and Mr Asben laugh.

Abu Ada Ayam, a.a.a

This is my first step on TRUE homeschooling Hadiff.
Bought from AdikBijak.com.
I was actually looking and asking around on how to teach Hadiff to read.
Did not want to spend thousands on just CDs (not kedekut just not really confident with the method).
I know there are many method out there, to name a few Magic English la, Grolier laa..
But I was looking for bahasa melayu dulu, later2 when Hadiff shows some progress then I will dip further on English.

Info on this method:-

• Berima
• Disertai Gambar

This is only the introduction on how to say the words,,not the usual A,B,C method.
Hadiff loves Abu Ada Ayam song.. when he wanted to watch the CD,
he simply asked for "nak Ayam a.a.a"..
or sometimes
he said "Abah Ayam a.a.a"

Not bad for 1week trial, he managed to pick up O and A. And he could actually said Orange (when it supposed to be oren *roll eyes*, but finally he knew that not all fruits are Epen (read:epal)), tembak, Acak Enak-Enak (Ema Masak Enak ) just by looking on the cards.

The only problem I have is, Hadiff like to keep playing the CD over and over eventhough he obviously dah boring. From what I read, we should stop the lesson before he gets boring. Susah sangat tang tu. Any tips on this. What I did is start playing Chuggington.

So far, I am happy with this method eventhough I heard bad review on phonic. Budak susah nak mengeja later on. Nevermind, this is fun. Hadiff will learn how to read then we will teach him how to spell.

I hope Hadiff will be able to read simple words before he turn 4years old.
That is my target. InsyaAllah...

ViSiTiNg sLiNgS - PsLiNgS

Psling! Yeap you heard it right. One of the most overpriced ring sling in the world I would say. With the state of art shoulder style. I have been hearing good and bad reviews about this ring sling..it is a love or hate. I have eyeing on other people's stash.. especially when the bugs hit Malaysia (actually Malaysia Babywearer forum). We have been talking (or typing) about this psling. I was lucky when Zana, who is a student in Osaka, Japan had generously offered 4 of her pslings to tour Malaysia. Pucuk di cita ulam mendatang.

1) Psling colors (all cotton) in brown w/gold rings -left shoulder, short-med length (I think chopped coz it doesn't have the typical psling stitching)
2) Psling linen in yellow w/gold rings -right shoulder, loooong. This is an older version of psling, doesn't have the small square tag and no word psling engraved on the rings.
3) DIY faux kasuri psling in blue -left shoulder, short-med length. I made this myself, just sending along so you can feel how a kasuri is. Note that mine has some cotton in it, while psling's is all linen so may be crunchier.

Review

I never try pslings before, even never had it in my hands to pegang-pegang. So this is totally a new experience to me with no one to guide just depends on Zana's video.

Fabric - Linen yellow is thin..so thin that I'm afraid of shredding it during threading. But once wear it, it feel airy, breathable yet sturdy. But I don't really like the fact that it is yellow and see through. Colours feels hmmm... cottony and thick but soft and cushy.

Threading - Hmm.. I would say I took 4X longer threading these slings compares to my other slings. Colours is easier to thread compares to linen. May be due to bigger rings. Though linen is thinner but the rings are so small. I am a right shoulder and threading on wrong shoulder with colours is not easy. Failed miserably, tried twice and gave up., may be just my techniques not due to the kain or what not.

I wore linen yellow for1 hour straight, carrying 6.5kg Husna. Well, I like the shoulder but I love Jumpsac padded shoulder more. I like wearing it higher means no tag near my neck. The shoulder tends to dig my neck when I wear it lower. I like the look of the sling at my back..it does look neat but of course cannot hide those lemak2 or spare tyre. Now, I am certain that I'm not comfortable with super wide width on Husna, too many excess fabric..may be OK for bigger baby.

rings - gold (women's best friend / wealth) and shiny..they are flat and once threaded it is not easy to adjust unless I want to start the pain all over again. IMHO, it definitely a turn down for those with newborn who wear their babies between cradle carry and t2t or even sling nursers. But that just my opinion who know nothing about psling.

Psling..hmm may be I will get one for me..or may be not..not sure yet but there is a yummy looking red wine in TBW FSOT..hahahah

Arigato gozaimass Zana-san for this opportunity!! Set B has been un-threaded and sent to Alin!!

HuSnA,CoLd & BrEaStFeEdInG

It is the SEASON again... babies and small kids are down with either cold, cough, fever or all of these. DL 123 fed Hadiff and breastfed Husna are also infected. Siblings tie, joy and cry..one infected the other one will follow..in fact this time the mother also join in the ride..Does this has to do with the Merapi Mountain?


Cold, congestion, running nose cause difficulty to Husna to Breastfeed. She felt restless and uncalm unlike she used to be in a fine day. Her sucking was not consistent and I could see frustrations all over her cute cheeky face. Sometimes her legs were kicking and her hands were actually scratching my breast or pulling my shirt. These indicate her difficulty to breathe and breastfeed.

I found this good article on how to sooth the breastfeeding baby.
It is for you to share and for me for future reference.

If baby has a cold and is congested, it can make breastfeeding difficult. However, it is almost always easier for a sick baby to nurse than to take a bottle. If your baby has a stuffy nose and is having a hard time breathing and nursing at the same time, try the following:

• Keep baby as upright as possible while nursing. At night, try propping up on lots of pillows and nursing/sleeping semi-upright. Also try the Australian position (mom is "down under") - in this position, mom is lying on her back and baby is on top (facing down), tummy to tummy with mom.
• The best thing you can do to help baby's illness end quickly is to nurse often - that way she gets lots of the antibodies that your body is making to help her fight off the illness. Frequent nursing also helps to ensure that baby is getting plenty of milk (congested babies often nurse for shorter times since it's hard to breathe and nurse at the same time).
• Use saline drops (or breastmilk) & a rubber suction bulb to clear baby's nose before nursing (if baby won't tolerate the bulb syringe, then the saline drops/breastmilk alone should still help).
  • Put baby on your knees, face up and tilt your knees a little downhill (so baby's head is angled away from you, toward the floor).
  • Put 2-3 drops of saline in each nostril and let it sit for a minute or so.
  • To suction the mucus out, squeeze the bulb part of the syringe first, gently stick the rubber tip into one nostril, then slowly release the bulb.
  • If baby is really congested, you may have to do this several times a day. Do it BEFORE baby nurses; if you do it afterwards your baby may spit up everything she's eaten because syringing can stimulate the gag reflex.
  • To prepare saline drops at home, dissolve one teaspoon of salt in two cups of warm water.
• Run a vaporizer or humidifier, preferably in a small closed room.
• Boil a pot of water (some moms use small crock pots/potpourri pots), remove from the stove and add a few drops of essential oil (for example, eucalyptus, sage or balsam), and let the scent permeate the air. This may help relieve some head congestion.
• Do NOT apply products containing peppermint oil, camphor or menthol on the face (especially in the nose) or chest of a baby or young child. There have been cases where the direct application of menthol or camphor products (for example, Vicks VapoRub™) to baby's skin resulted in severe breathing difficulties or liver problems (see Camphor Hepatoxicity, Camphor Monograph and Menthol Toxicology).
• Nurse in a steamy bathroom. To pump up the steam, run a really hot shower and set a chair outside the shower for nursing.
• The US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the American Academy of Pediatrics strongly recommend that children under the age of six not be given over-the-counter cough or cold medicines due to the risk of serious and life-threatening side effects. There is also no evidence that over-the-counter cold meds actually benefit children younger than six years old. There are several well controlled studies where there has been no difference shown between children given medication and those who have not.

Sometimes moms are advised to limit or discontinue breastfeeding because milk increases mucus production. This is not good advice for two reasons:

1. You are not a cow and your milk is not a dairy product. So even if dairy is a problem, your milk would not be.
2. In addition, there is no scientific evidence that cow's milk results in the production of more mucus unless you are allergic to dairy product

Or do you have other remedies? Care to share?
Thanks.

My sister is a nurse kat a private hospital dan anak dia selalu amik antibiotik. And since antibiotik kena mantain in low temperature, normally hospital akan bg sekali dengan ice block yang besar gedabak. I did mention to her to keep all the ice block as I need it for my EBM, ulang alik bawak balik keja. Recently, she passed to me 6 icepack blocks.. Best-best. I don't have to buy any icepack to replace my almost hancuss MLO icepack.

These icepack blocks shall be converted to small size icepack to fit into coolerbag with several bottles of EBM (normally 6 bottles laa).

Ice block (thermafreeze), MLO ice pack and plasticbag (last time i used zipper bag yg org letak makanan tp pas pindah ni semua benda tak jumpa)

Reusable bag which I got it free from somewhere, same material as MLO icepack pouch to prevent sweating, food scale and a pair of glove

Cara
1- Timbang icepack MLO, so that we can make icepack with almost same size as MLO.
2-Ceduk gel masukkan ke dalam plastik.
3- Plastik yang mengandungi gel dimasukkan ke dalam plastik kosong supaya jadik double layer. Tahan lasak sikitkan...
4- Lipat kemas-kemas dan selotep dihujung.
5- Beg free to potong same size dengan pouch MLO tp tinggalkan sikit tuk hemp. Me malas nak jahit jelujur so nanti nak suh sapa2 tolong jahitkan.
6- Masukkan lam peti ais bahagian beku atau deep freezer anda.
7- Dah keras leh la guna.

Nota kaki:
Ensure that your kids are not around masa buat ni.
Eventhough you wear glove, please.. please.. wash your hand thoroughly before handling other things.

Hmm..thinking of giving away ice block2 tu..but how la? Ada org interested nak ka?
But prefer passing ja, sebab it is heavy.. post mesti mahal.
