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

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...
