Aisya & vaccination

Hari ini pergi cucuk Aisya for her hepatitis b 3rd dose vaccination. Hepatitis b vaccination is a MUST Vaccination for children. Tapi sebenarnya saya nak kongsikan hukum optional vaccination yang bernama rotavirus.

Rotavirus vaccination perlu diberi pada anak berumur Dari 2 bulan sehingga 6 bulan. After 6 month rotavirus cannot be given anymore. So, what is rotavirus?

Rotavirus vaccination adalah vaccine untuk mencegah bayi Dari diarrhea and dehydration. Setiap bayi Akan Ada risiko untuk terkena jangkitan diarrhea and it might led to dehydration which can caused death. Scary kan? Tapi apa yang tak sedapnya, rotavirus is a NON-HALAL for Muslim as it sources from haiwan Babi. Ini bukan kenyataan saya yer, saya dapat maklumat ni sebenarnya Dari Internet. Actually, Aisya has received the first dose of rotavirus when she's 2months old and it was not covered by my company. Itulah puncanya saya search Internet about rotavirus and the price. Baru saya tahu it is contains pig dna.

So, when the next appointment saya memang dah tekad tak bagi rotavirus, and when I said to Aisya peads that I'm not going to give her the vaccine as its contains pig DNA, then he confirmed my findings. He even explain that there are two types of rotavirus in which both are contains with the pig DNA. He did apologized though! Tak boleh salahkan dia jugak, sebab dia non-Muslim and he thought that small portion of pig DNA is safe for Muslim.

Majlis fatwa Negara dah keluarkan kenyataan about this vaccine actually on 31/8/2008 said that keadaan Negara kita tak darurat sehingga memerlukan penggunaan rotavirus, jadi ianya haram. So, to parents out there, it is your choice whether you want to proceed or not with this vaccine just be aware with it!

Some info on Eczema

Semenjak Aisya is diagnosed with eczema, I start searching on eczema, the causes, occurrence, signs and symptoms, the treatment and so on...

So thought that I wanna share a bit information that I've got.

What is eczema?
Eczema atau Nama lainnya atopic dermatitis is an inflammation of the upper layers of the skin. The term eczema is applied to a range of persistent or recurring skin rashes of itching and dryness, redness, skin edema with possibility of crusting, talking, blistering, cracking, oozing and even bleeding. Eczema is not contagious yet severe eczema can lead to SKIN CANCER.

When does eczema normally occur?
Most babies tend to have dry skin soon after birth. Normally eczema berlaku bila baby berusia 6 bulan atau satu tahun caused mainly by hereditary and some environmental factors and foods, such as cow's milk. However, baby yang dijangkiti eczema Akan beransur pulih when they reach 6 years and above. Tetapi, eczema boleh terjadi sekali lagi bila baby sudah dewasa and normally happens at times of stress.

What are the signs and symptoms of eczema?
In infants, eczema appears as an itchy rash. It appears as red skin pada pipi, leher even scalp. In older children, the rash appears on the inner forearm, behind the knees and inside the elbow. Ada juga eczema appears pada kelopak mata, tapak tangan Dan tapak kaki.

Apa yang menyebabkan eczema merebak?
In some people, they are allergy to dust mites, animal allergens and pollens. A bacterial, fungal or viral infection can cause flare-ups of eczema.

Eczema treatment and management.
Firstly, kita perlu menjaga kebersihan. Kebanyakkan babies yang menghidapi eczema is allergic to dust mites. So parents perlu membersihkan rumah, lap lantai Dan selalu menukar bed sheet.

Important!!! Bathing is important part of eczema treatment and is vital for removing bacteria. Caution!!! Jangan mandikan baby yang menghidapi eczema menggunakan hot/warm water. Ianya boleh further irritate the compromised skin condition.

Ibu bapa juga diingatkan to maintain skin hydration. The oily layers that normally controls moisture loss is defective in eczema patients. After a bath, the skin should be pat-dried and moisturizer promptly.

So far, itu jer la info yang dapat saya kongsikan. If you have further info, Jom kita kongsikan!

Normal delivery vs c-section

Each of pregnant woman will scared bila dekat dengan waktu untuk bersalin. Siapa yang tak risau? First of mesti nervous to know whether we can endure the contraction pain. Secondly must be wondering how to make a correct push for the baby. Even experience mother who has delivered 2 or 3 babies will feel scare or nervous setiap Kali nak beranak.

So, are you prefer normal delivery or c-section? When having Aisya, I have set my mind to go for vaginal delivery. My OBgyn actually a little bit scared because I have asthma, but do support me to go for normal delivery, but by the end of the day I have to endured cesarean as I dah tumpah darah. Seriously, normal delivery has so much advantage as compared to c-sec. The first advantage is, normal delivery will automatically push the fluid to go out from the baby lung. Secondly, baby is being introduce with the "good" bacteria through the vaginal canal, helps form the baby heads and some doctor even said that baby who went through for normal delivery Lebih kuat daya saing. To mommies, normal delivery wounds are much easier to take care of. Tapi after that kena banyak buat kegel exercise la yer....

Sometimes the mother can't go through with the normal delivery. Some cases like if the mother have diabetes and the baby is more than 4kg, doc will advise to go for c-sec. Besar tu baby, takut tulang pelvis tak support the baby. Another case if the mother have high blood pressure that reach 150 confirm masuk OT.. There is high risk of the mother Akan tumpah darah when doc performs the operation and the risk losing the mother is high. The mother also Ada risiko darah beku pada kaki, paru-paru Dan pelvis, jangkitan kuman pada rahim Dan etc..

Tapi, kita pun tak tahu keadaannya waktu bersalin...mungkin memang kena perform c-sec atas sebab-sebab tertentu like baby songsang, placenta pecah etc...so banyak2 berdoa agar dipermudahkan urusan bersalin....InsyaAllah....

My daughter, my style

Ketika menulis entri nie, hati tengah hangat membara sebenarnya....a little bit upset as some people has questioning my style in giving Aisya solid food. I just call her miss x...bila Miss X saw me giving Aisya fruit puree she asked me, apa yang Aisya makan tue? And when she found out that is food puree and start kerut dahi...mula mempersoalkan pulak makanan Aisya...kenyang ker budak tue makan..kenapa tak bagi nestum?

Bila dengar ulasan-ulasan macam tue, biasanya saya tersenyum and give standard answer like buah banyak khasiat.. Tapi bila miss X keep mempersoalkan my choice seriously I jadi sakit hati...ishh...suka hati la saya nak bagi makan apa...

Please mommies out there...Cuba jangan terpengaruh dengan anasir-anasir luar yang sibuk suruh bagi baby kita makan nestum...for me homemade solid food is the best. Even aisya peads is agree with me. No salt and sugar for baby and toddler. Tapi ibu-ibu kita tak faham. Sebab bagi mereka, dulu pun kita disuap benda-benda like nestum and so on and we still membesar dengan elok. But it's different nowadays ...once upon a time, they don't have the knowledge about the danger and setback in giving instant and process food to babies. But sekarang kan kita ada resources and easy access to that knowledge, so we should utilize it.

Do you know what is the danger in giving process food to baby? Process foods contains high sugar/ salt in which perut Dan saluran usus baby masih belum matang untuk process sugar/salt yang terdapat dalam process foods. Process food boleh menyebabkan sembelit pada bayi or bayi can be obess...so please mommies..be careful in choosing your baby solid food. Setiap ibu inginkan yang terbaik untuk anak masing-masing...so please..we have access to Internet, use it wisely! And to miss x...jangan Cuba mempersoalkan my style and my choice for my baby. She is my baby and I have the right untuk tentukan what is the best for her!

Aisya & eczema -moogoo result

After a week using moogoo product to treat aisya's eczema I must say my daughter is not suitable with the product! Tapi...irritable skin balm works wonders on treating the redness yet the soothing cream makes it worst!

Kesian Aisya...bila saya sapu irritable skin balm, seriously the redness has reduced...until yellowish...so to back to her normal skin saya pakai soothing cream tapi Ya Allah...semakin merah...at first I thought mesti allergy to something as Aisya has started on her solid food...but everyday looks the same...early in the morning the redness has reduced yet to the afternoon it has worsening...so i 'm back with baby buds soothing cream and guess what? What a magic! The skin has totally improved within a night! Alhamdulilah.....

So currently I continuously using baby buds and her skin dah back to normal...

my point of view...moogoo is not suitable for Aisya...tapi yang peliknya the irritable skin balm really works wonders...mama Aisya continue to keep the balm takut naik lagi eczema dia...

Another facts is, eczema can't be cured...it can be controlled but will not disappear totally...so mommies...anak yang Ada eczema nie kena sentiasa di pantau keadaanya...yang penting jangan putus asa...sentiasa mencari jalan keluar Dan pastinya kesabaran yang tinggi diperlukan dalam menjaga anak yang dijangkiti eczema nie....chaiyok! Chaiyok!

Aisya & avocado

Yesterday I had introduced Aisya her second solid food which is avocado puree...guess what? She's totally loving it! Most of baby refuse to eat avocado as the textures and the taste kind of creamy and rasa lemak- lemak sikit..but not Aisya...she can eat sebiji avocado tu...amboi...international betul Aisya yer...

So, how to make avocado puree? The most important thing is you have to properly choose the avocado itself...make sure dah masak yer avocado tu...so belah avocado and keluarkan semua isi2nya..you have an option either to blend the avocado or just lenyek-lenyek pakai sudu...I choose to blend it to have smooth texture..avocado tak payah steam ok...

A lot of nutritious that we can get from avocado. Avocado is rich in vitamin b, e and k. High intake of avocado can reduce cholesterol. Ha..awesome kan?? So selamat mencuba membuat avocado puree mommies!

Penderaan terhadap bayi Dan kanak-kanak

Isu ni sering kita dengar..tak Kira penderaan dibuat oleh pembantu rumah, ayah tiri, ayah kandung Dan malang sekali even ibu kandung juga seringkali terbabit dalam isu penderaan terhadap bayi Dan kanak-kanak.

Seriously saya memang pantang mendengar isu penderaan ni, Lebih-Lebih lagi jika melibatkan ibu / ayah kandung bayi tersebut. Tapi setelah menjadi ibu, saya boleh faham apa yang mereka rasakan..bukan bermaksud saya menyebelahi pendera yer...saya cuma kata saya faham kenapa mereka bertindak sedemikian.

This is based on my own experience..ketika masih dalam pantang, saya hampir-hampir mengalami Post natal depresssion/ blues atau meroyan. Memang tertekan untuk menahan sakit selepas bersalin, tak boleh bergerak dengan cergas Dan at the same time kena menjaga bayi baru lahir. My baby was asleep during daylight and will wake up every two hours at night for her milk time..seriously, saya tak cukup tidur Dan sangat-sangat kepenatan. one day, she couldn't sleep at night and kept crying the whole night and I was so devastated and almost marahkan baby..nasib saya tersedar Dan mengucap...take 5 minutes away from the baby to cool down and control myself before I start holding her again. See? Even me, as a mother that have maternal bonding boleh hilang sabar pada anak sendiri, apatah lagi pembantu rumah/ pengasuh yang tidak Ada maternal bonding pada bayi kita...

Baru-baru ini Aisya showed her first tantrum, dengan menangis semahu-mahunya sampai serak suara. Bagi susu tak mahu, pampers tak basah, tidurkan pun dia tak mahu...again I was almost hilang sabar Dan cepat-cepat beristighfar...akhirnya saya selawat ditelinga Aisya and she went to sleep straight away.

So, bagi saya human have limit...even mother pun boleh hilang sabar pada anak sendiri apatah lagi yang lain. Perlu educate mereka untuk bersabar or at least go away from the baby for sometimes to control theirselves before pegang balik baby tersebut...

So apa pendapat anda pula?
