Kasihannya dia…

Seksanya nak tumbuh gigi. Tu baru sebatang, banyak lagi yang tengah tunggu masa nak tengok dunia. Tak apa lah Na`im. Sabar aje lah. Budak kuat masa boleh nangis-nangis! Senyum skit! Hahahaha dah nampak pagar satu dah!

Kelmarin, ramai juga yang tegur. Biasanya budak kalau nak tumbuh gigi demam. Ni tak demam pulak dia. Emm itu lah. Ramai sangat tanya demam juga dia akhirnya.

Panas juga badannya ni. Rajin-rajin jerlum dengan air. Kalau nak cepat turun suhunya, letak tuala basah kat celah leher, ketiak dan kelengkang. Jangan letak tuala basah kat dahi. Baby tak tahan takut selsema pula. Beli Coolfever je tampal kat dahi.

Okay, terima kasih Doktor.

Dua hari juga lah cuti-cuti Malaysia dibuatnya!

Week 32 Baby Tip

Tough Teething

As with most developmental milestones, there is no standard for when teething will begin, how long it will take, or how painful it will be. A baby’s first tooth usually comes in around the seventh month, although it can arrive as early as three months, or as late as a year. Some common signs and symptoms of teething include:

• Swelling – Swelling of the gum tissue is usually the first sign of impending tooth eruption.
• Flushing or rash – Your child’s cheek may appear flushed or develop a slight rash near where the tooth is erupting.
• Drooling – Teething babies usually produce more saliva and will drool excessively.
• Crankiness – Teething babies are often unusually cranky and irritable, and may not sleep well.

Try the following tips to help soothe teething pain:

• Biting hard objects – Give your child hard objects such as teething rings, as these can ease some of the pain.
• Cold – Frozen food such as a popsicle or frozen banana may also soothe your baby’s gums during teething.
• Numbing – There are several baby-safe teething gels available, such as Baby Orajel or Baby Ambesol, that you can apply directly to your baby’s sore gums. However, some of these gels contain sugar so use them sparingly.
• Baby ibuprofen – If your baby is going through a particularly painful phase, baby ibuprofen may help. As always, check with your pediatrician before giving any medication to your baby.

Na`im sedang tumbuh gigi. Semua simptom-simptom di atas ada pada dia. Gusi membengkak merah dan air liur meleleh (siap berbuih-buih tu!). Malam tadi kesian dia tak dapat tidur nyenyak. Melenting-lenting aje macam ekor cicak tercabut dari badan.

Week 32

Hi cheura! To help develop your baby’s coordination, show him or her how to tap two saucepan lids together. Then place them in his or her hands and move his or her hands the same way you moved yours, so he or she can get the feel of the movement. Then let your baby give it a try and watch his or her excitement when he or she can make a loud noise.

Your New Baby

You may notice that your baby increasingly tries to repeat the sounds he or she hears – including those made by people, animals, and inanimate objects. If there are two languages spoken in your home, he or she will try to make sounds from both languages. If you think you know what your baby is trying to say, repeat it back to him or her. Listening to you pronounce words will help your baby understand words and talk earlier.

Your baby’s vocabulary will grow steadily as he or she adds gestures to the mix. For example, he or she may have learned to hold his or her arms above his or her head when he or she wants to be picked up. He or she will also probably point to indicate the majority of his or her wishes. Help limit frustrations by interpreting the more cryptic gestures for other caregivers who may not spend the same amount of time with your baby.

Your baby also is gaining a new understanding of how to grasp and hold objects. He or she can probably hold two objects at once (one in each hand) and use both hands cooperatively to accomplish one task. He or she is also learning to use his or her hands in more complex ways. The way he or she shapes his or her hand to grasp a round object will be different than the way he or she grasps a flat object, such as a piece of paper. He or she will also start to understand cause and effect and will learn to pull a string or cord to move an object closer. A fun game right now may be tug-of-war. Let your baby grasp the end of a towel and gently pull towards you. He or she may pull back in response. This will also strengthen his or her muscles and coordination.

A Tip from the Trenches

If your baby refuses to use any of the teething rings or chilled items you give him or her to relieve his or her teething pain, try this idea: put a few ounces of fruit juice in his or her bottle and freeze it upside down in the freezer, using an empty baby food jar to hold the bottle upright and to catch any juice that drips out before freezing. Your baby will love the juice treat and chewing on the frozen nipple will give him or her some relief from teething pain.

Mabuk budu

Pergh! Letih tapi seronok!

Standard keretapi memang sering tergelincir dari jadual. Kalau tercatat ditiket masa tiba 2129, sila tambah sejam lagi. Tapi kalau keretapi dah sampai, sila melompat naik secepat mungkin kerana ia hanya berhenti untuk 2 minit sahaja. Tak percaya? Cubalah!. (Emm, masa naik kat Wakaf Baru tepat pulak masa sampainya…)

Dah sampai mana ni? Lama lagi ke nak sampai? Pukul berapa ni? Penat lah aku duduk kat atas katil ni. Macam duduk dalam keranda!

Ehehe mak. Kali pertama jalan jauh. Tak pulak mabuk. Bak kata mak, “itu semua kuasa tuhan”. Alhamdulillah, tertunai juga janji aku kat Ana.

Travel dengan abah memang best. Bekalan sentiasa ada. 1 beg khas penuh dengan “ration”!

Walaupun ini yang entah ke berapa kali ke sini, tak pernah puas berjalan. Mungkin kerana “kerasan”, seronok aje berada di sini. Cuma kasihan baby Na`im. Masa ni lah pula gigi sulung nak keluar. Sibuk melayan gigi sampai lupa nak berkumuh! Tak sekali pun dia buang air besar kat sana.

Pergi berenam, balik berempat. Andy dan emak tinggal lagi. Mek, Ayoh, Kak Ma dan keluarga – terima kasih layan kami dengan baik. Mek! nasi kerabu Mek memang the best in the world!

“Lain kali datang lagi, bawak lori!” Hahaha yolah abang. Kali ni ke Pantai Irama, akan datang ke Pantai Cahaya Bulan.

Tak puas makan budu pun ya. Kalau orang Kelantan makan budu cecah ulam, kami makan budu curah ke pinggan hahaha sah mabuk budu!
