apsal aku rase takyah study pun.... dah leh rase dalam instinct...
yang babies stress bila dibiarkan dalam stroller...
tengok byk stimulations around.. tapi tak nampak mak/bapak/safe person die...
kalau aku pakai stroller... aku akan sentiasa jengah and kacau2 amir supaya die tau im around... or walk tepi, depan sikit supaya die nampak aku...

bila die dah besar... and tau yang parents die takkan tinggalkan die sensorang... no abandonment issues la...... boleh aa naik stroller tanpa perlu "org teman"...

ni baru die bandingkan front facing strollers.. with mom facing strollers..
cuba die bandingkan ngn babywearing babies...
dah tentu babies worn, more talkative and tak stress...
aku dah banyak kali sangat nampak bukti2.....
selalu sgt tengok babies lain dalam strollers stress nangeh...
amir pun dulu asik nangeh dalam stroller.... 3-4 jam terkapai2 dalam strollers tanak tido... sedangkan baru 1 bulan lebeh je.. die patut tido every 1-2 hours...

bila die dah ade trust... and caya yg parents die takkan tinggalkan die...
boleh aaa use the stroller more and more...

p/s: thanks mye for the link..

my solidfood check list.. have to put this up somewhere... nanti lupa..
also, input is appreciated

1. no instant food... kedai-kedai nestum, rusk.....tangguhkan dulu...
for first 2 mths, all will be homecooked and homeprepared... frozen and thawed...
sebabnye.. I dunno what in the packaged food.. ade gula? garam? pengawet..?

lagi satu reason
===================
Why bother with making homemade baby food? What’s wrong with baby food from a jar, anyway? Take one of these jars and look carefully at the expiration date. The substance inside has been designed to last for two years past the date of purchase. That’s not exactly the fresh that you intended to feed your baby.

The ingredients of most commercial baby foods have been heated to a very high temperature and then cooled, in order to sterilise them. This gives them a very long shelf life but destroys a lot of the flavour and some of the nutrients in the process. Also if you bring up a baby on bland processed purees such as these it can make the transition to family food difficult as they are not used to the natural taste of fruits and veg and they can become quite fussy eaters.

There is nothing wrong with giving babies prepared foods for the sake of convenience, but don’t believe these preparations are a healthier option. The healthiest baby foods are the ones you make yourself– you can be sure of using the best quality ingredients with no thickeners or additives, its cheaper than using jars and homemade purees taste so much better



. best first food
- fruits: Apple, pear, banana papaya and avocado.
- vege/fruit: Carrot, potato, swede, parsnip, pumpkin, butternut squash and sweet potato.
- BABY RICE


3. When can they have?....

• Gluten (wheat, rye, barley and oats) - 6 months.
• Citrus fruits - 6 months.
• Well-cooked eggs - 6 to 9 months.
• Soft eggs e.g. scrambled eggs - from 1 year.
• Added salt - limited amount from 1 year.
• Sugar - limited amount from 1 year.
• Whole cow’s milk as a main drink - 1 year.
• Honey - 1 year.
• Shellfish - 1 year.
• Pate - 1 year.
• Soft or Blue cheeses - 1 year.
• Whole or chopped nuts - 5 years

to note:
-feed samething for 4 days... to detect any allergies
-add in breastmilk to rice, pureed fruit etc...
-taste first, ensure flavor sedap
-Salt may harm your baby’s kidneys and sugar will encourage a sweet tooth. A baby is not used to these tastes so will not miss them

i miss them already... weekends, just not enough timee..... :(
when i think about it.. im starting to feel depressed..
macam not enough time in life to what I want to do...quarter/mid life crisis?

i know im not skinny... and my weight still hovers around 63-64kg....
but i feel gooooood....
everytime I walk out of the shower... in front of that full length mirror... I'll go.. "not badd..".. im sorry, but I do...
not bad for just giving birth 5 mths ago... no exercising... and eating non stop...
I am the only one (and rafiq kot) that knows how crazy I eat.. how I stuff everything down my throat...
orang lain taktau and probably wont believe if I told them how I eat...
considering all the eating.... I think I look awesomee....!!I still have some belly... but who cares... I had a baby!!
im not where I was pre-pregnancy... but I feel good... takyah sebok nak join marathon macam j.lo....
maybe I'll start gym back when he starts solid.... when he's not totally dependent on me for food...

oh yeah.... I got no stretch mark on my belly at all... except on my sides.. got some.. negligible
maybe the cocoa butter lotion aaa.. aku sapu kat perut je masa preggy.. didnt think to sapu on the sides...
so I am convinced that is the reason......


p/s: I must have distorted body image syndrome....
u know when people think they are so fat.....and ugly.. when they are actually very normal
but in my case... I think im fine, when Im actually fat..??? kwang kwang kwang...
just like masa aku form 1-3... I thought I look fine...
but now looking back.... uish gemuknye aku.....


oh yeah... we bought the bodywater bodyfat tanita weighing scale..
rafiq's idea... hahaha dulu I was so into fitness....calculating bodyfat and all
i guess ade impact jugak kat die...sebab sanggup nak beli scale memahal
good to know he's watching his weight and all...
seriusly not a lot of people can say they got a fit, hot hubby!!... we're all going into the belly phase of life... go hot daddy!!!!
(hmmm..... oooorrr it culd be because im not feeding him enough hahahha)




anyways.. masa preggy..35% fat.... and after preggy 30%......
and today (tonight....after chillis dinner)... for the first time was under 30%
29.5%..... huhuhu!!! (sebelum preggy .. im 23-24% fat...)...
seriusly..babywearing requires energy!!!
and seriusly producing milk which is full of fat .... reduces fat from you!!!!
huhhh.. adventure sungguh nak outing with babies and eat...
me, and twin cousins (baby gabby) and jirah and matde (baby aiman)....
me and amir only.. no papa....
eating is crazy@!!*@!(^@&.....
but we (i mean, Ida) did get her 2 kids meal... macaroni&cheese and cheezy pizza...
and 2 vanilla cokes ... (actually meant for the 2 kids..)
unhealthynyee!!! (for kids la).... but we downed it... nyummmy...



next time.. eat at home and go window shopping (if with babies) only...
if I move... amir okay... and i think gabby pun... bila stroller gerak, shes fine..
cant wait till he can sit in a baby chair.... penat den nak memegangnyaa...


anyways... again I hear comments on how..
kesiannye baby dalam sling.... diikat gitu....
well.. do u see him flapping around trying to get out?? do u see him crying..??
he always end up sleeping in it...
aku sebnanye lagi kesian kat baby yang dalam stroller
meronta2 trying to get their parent's attention... yang tido senyap2 tu okay la..
ni yg parents shopping, tapi anak terpusing2 nak attention dalam stroller... dibiarkan je.. hmmm...apsal orang tak kesian kat babies yg tu..?
apsal nak kesian kat baby aku yang cukup kasih sayang.. yang kalau nak didukung, aku sanggup dukung..(some parents tak sanggup nak dukung anak....berat tau).... why..? people are weird.......if u know amir... (which I do)..... and if he could talk...
he'd say... he prefers being carried than be strapped in a stroller... dlm stroller die asik nangeh and tak keruan..
so im just doing what he likes... why feel sorry for him...?


people are forgetting the simpler way of doing things...
breastfeeding, carrying your baby...
apsal org (org putih la).. lagi sanggup carry baby dalam car seat... dari carry the baby itself..?? car seat tu dah la 3-4 kg... pastu cara ko carry car seat tu, is straight down tangan kau.. lagi sakit bahu tu...
pastu apsal kesian kat baby dalam sling tapi tak kesian kat baby yg didukung oleh bapaknye dengan barehands? ape bezanye? bezanye tangan bapaknye kang sakit aa esok...


if I have a bigger car.... i would bring my stroller .. and sling ...
cuba ko fikir.. how many times u see parents with empty strollers and carrying their baby...?jimat tenaga kalau ko pakai sling.... then bila baby dah calm down.. boh la balik dlm stroller...tak sape suruh pilih one over the other... u can have the best of both world...

cuma aku ni pakai kelisa....and I am strong enough to carry him around.... exercise... and aku tak sanggup tunggu lift....
kalau die berat gile kang... aku carik la stroller ku.... yg now held hostage @ klang umah inlaws aku..coz they use it for morning and everning walk with amir at the park...at least its getting some use hahahha..
