Khayra 14th Week - Mama Get Ready To Work

Actually, I took extra 1 week holiday instead of going back to work after my 90 days Maternity Leave. I've spare my last year annual leave just to add some days to spend with my Khayra. Honestly, I'm not sure if I'm ready to leave lil Khayra with someone else.. and sickly worried I cannot pump enough milk for her. I work 8 .00 to 5.00 and conveniently has a room for myself if I need to pump. But, I'll have meeting which I should attend. and certain week, I have them everyday and a never ending desk-job.. Certain days I still have to bring them home... I might have to strive a bit because stress is common when it comes to work, right  :)) every job has their stress time.. and be prepared as well if I finally have to give Khayra some formula milk if things get out of hand which I hope not.. :(( Semoga Allah murahkan rezeki Khayra untuk dapat susu ibu sepenuhnya.. Insya Allah. I'll strive for my Lil Girl.

Khayra's antibiotic finally finish and I've start some bottlefeeding session with Khayra... Lucky she wants to drink up all the milk.. I learn that she usually take around 3 oz per session but she drink regularly.. like every 2 hours... :o I'll try hard to have more milk.. I wonder if my flange isn't the correct size.. ump.. I might need to buy new one with the right size.


I try letting Khayra sleep in buaian instead of nursing her to sleep and allow her to play at play gym.. :) I hope she can stay home nicely without fussing lots. Nyang will take care of Khayra a week or two before we move to our new home. Then Khayra will stay with nenek.. :)





So it certainly will be all new episode and drama of a working mother with her 3 Months Old daughter.. :))) So, my checklist to get back to work..


~ Bottlefeeding Khayra - done
~ Get Khayra know her care-person - done
~ A method of calming and sleeping - done
~ Breastmilk storage - done
~ Pump set - check the flange
~ Milk Label - need new marker pen
~ Cooler bag and ice pack - ice pack to go to freezer
~ Handbag and pump bag - Progressing
~ Daily Diary - need to go inside the bag
~ Monday milk - striving!!
~ Ironing.. :D - will find sometimes to do it


Will write about my home progress later.. Gril, curtain and lighting..

Khayra 13th Week

Khayra gets better at her 13th Week.. On Tuesday her fever still comes in evening.. her cough still there.. but her mood and appetite are good.. I'm so worried why it doesn't goes away. On Thursday, my mom told me that I should take Khayra back to clinic to ask the doctor. My dad even told me that Klinik Panel yg bagus for kids as far as he knows are Klinik Dr Rosli Seksyen 18 and Klinik Soraya. Klinik Soraya banyak doktor during day time je.. (Clinic Check Up mengandung ku :D)Tu Klinik yang dia selalu bawak ktorang dlu.

So, Thursday night jugak I bring Khayra to Klinik Dr Rosli. Dr dia tak tau la Dr pe tapi nampak macam dah berumur sikit so maybe banyak experience :D I told the doctor about her fever..cough and even the medicine yang previous Dr dah bagi.. He just ask me to continue with Rhinathiol with 0.5ml increase dose ngan add with 1 mild antibiotic.. Cephalexin.. I don't know bout other Moms but I was raised up with lots of medicine around and get use to read the label... :D like ventolin for asthma and actifed or claritin for flu n allergy, paracetamol usually for fever/tahan sakit.. hehe.. that's common medicine right. I even try to remember sebijik brape gram.. sebab kadang - kadang kena belah 2 :p Now, ingat every medicine yg doktor bagi pada anak and dose nya skali. So I start giving Khayra Cephalexin.. and her fever did becomes better.

Actually, I don't like antibiotic... Our body should build the antibody for us.. I usually skip antibiotic unless I don't see improvement with my fever sebab antibiotic kan kena habiskan bila dah start makan. I heard that baby tak patut diberikan antibiotic unless we have too.. I hope doctor will not simply give antibiotic to my baby unless she really needs it. It really make me confuse whether to give antibiotic or not.. I hope she wasn't abused.. And she's breastfed.. From ape yg saya baca.. Antibiotic hanya boleh hapuskan bakteria.. not viral infection, something from virus. But bakteria baik pon akan terhapus skali bila makan antibiotik :( But I give Khayra that antibiotic finally because it's a week already her fever doesn't really improved.. See article from Dr Azwan about antibiotic here.

Khayra Luv playing with atuk


 Khayra dah pandai mintak Aichik dukung :D

Takpe la.. yang penting Khayra dah makin sihat skarang.. her cough sometimes comes but greatly reduce. I think I'll wait till antibiotic finished and see if her cough continue. 

Monday, hubby cuti after 3 days outstation. Sukenya saya.. Khayra start to notice that she can scream differently when crying.. :o It's too loud with new rhythm and she just love to repeat it.. ump.. a 3 Months old punye perangai kot.. Now, last week before Mama gets to work.. Wish that I have enough milk.. My stock so little..

Diaper Ape??

Huhu.. It's always becomes one of mommy's topic... pampers pe nak pakai?? (even though brand pampers dah tak banyak jual :p) I even google mula - mula dulu nak cari pampers pe yg orang lain recommend :D Ok la.. mama lain pakai diaper ape ek? 

Khayra has test a lot.. seb baik dia takde la sensitif sangat.. penah ade mild nappy rash sebab she's quiet je yak2... So salah mama dia jugak tak perasan.. pitty lil Khayra. Tapi tak la sampai menangis2 and fussy sebab nappy rash.. basuh pon dia diam je.. . then sapu dropolene hilang.. :)

First pampers Khayra is Premium Dri5 size s ( free dapat kat hospital :D) lembut untuk baby, I like...

 

Then Huggies Newborn.. It's quite small for Khayra actually and not as soft as I expect.. Tak berape prefer untuk newborn.

Then Mamy Poko size Newborn.. I like Mamy Poko punya newborn size.. it's bigger than other Newborn size.. and lembut sangat for my baby.. cuma, mahal ckit Mamy Poko if takde sale.. so, if minat, grab time sale.. Saya pon beli sebab de expo baby dapat murah :D 

Then try plak Pet Pet size S, tak berapa lembut gak to me... tapi suka pinggang dia ade macam getah tu. Rasenya bleh dapat better pampers with price dia.



Then pampers sampingan Diapex.. Ni utk Khayra pakai kejap2 je.. sebab Khayra sometimes kotorkan pampers time nak readykan dia after mandi.. n bila dia yak2 and almost time for bath.. Beli bigger size M. I'm not sure kalo pakai lama.. kalo untuk kejap2 ni ok je.. Maybe sebab size yang beli tu besar, bila yak2 pon takla keluar2.. Tak la lembut sangat.. but for day use ok je, berbaloi utk harga :D


Then try pampers Pureen Dri5 size S. tak berapa suka jugak sebab macam plastik sikit to Lil Khayra.. tape dia wat peha Khayra merah la..
 
Then Mamy Poko Size S. Lebih banyak sale dari newborn.. Masa nak masuk sebulan lebih tu Khayra tak muat lagi.. Bila 2 bulan lebih  baru muat. Lembut.. cuma takde getah kat belakang..

Then Huggies Dry Comfort  Size M.. seperti yang saya teka size Huggies seems smaller than Mamy Poko punye size. So Khayra dah boleh start pakai.. Lembut jugak.. de getah belakang.. tape dia selesa untuk baby yang dah aktif sebab tinggi skit.. cuma lebar dia tak sama ngan Mamy Poko. Mamy Poko lagi lebar la.. Tapi stakat ni takde kebocoran berlaku.. kire bleh tahan lagi la..



Dah dapat sample BabyLove... :) Nnt nak try if Ok.. 

Ok la some tips to new mommy... (kite pon new jugak :)) ) to me 1st Month baby banyak Yak2.. Yak2 sikit berenti n baru tukar dah yak2 balik.. itu biase.. so pampers memang asyik tukar.. pukul 2 ke 3 pagi pon kena tukar pampers.. so takpe je kalo murah sebab tak perlu serap banyak pon.. If one piece tu mahal sedih plak bila tengok kejap je pakai :D Tapi saya sangat pentingkan lembut n baby selesa.. if dia macam tak selesa, jangan beli lagi la.. 

Pek besar ke kecik ek.. Khayra dlu pek besar sebab kejap sgt habis... tengok la senarai pampers yg kita dah try ni.. walaupun Khayra baru 3 bulan, dah macam2 sempat try. Maybe sebab breastfeed kot.. skarang pon dia berak paling kurang 3 kali.. 5 kali pon biase je.. Tapi cousin Khayra dia minum formula milk.. baby boy.. cepat besar.. so dia tak bleh beli banyak.. newborn pek kecik skejap je pakai.. tu pon tak habis.. tapi saya pon tak brape suggest beli newborn.. unless Mamy Poko. Newborn lain smue kecik.

Saya ngan hubby skarang de sindrom nampak yg murah terus beli.. pastu susun stok :p So dapat la beli pampers mahal tapi harga affordable.. tak la beli Mamy Poko 80sen.. mahalnye.. beli time die 50++sen ke.. berbaloi ckit. Huggies Dry pon camtu.. tapi kena agak2 la stok kat rumah yg ade n if size die akan bertukar..  Stakat ni formula tu menjadi.. Khayra dapat pampers yg selesa n affordable to mama n abah.. 

Sape yang nak beli mamy poko.. cuba tgk if mamy poko de offer time expo kat Mid Valley March ni.. :) Dlu ktorang beli murah time camni la untuk new born.. sebab dia yg sponser expo.. 

Tringin nak try cloth diaper yg chomei tu.. tapi tunggu la Khayra pandai main snirik.. boleh de mase extra nak cuci :D sape yg dh try bleh la bagi feedback.. Ok, bleh la share experience lain coz lain baby lain kadang preference dia.. Stakat ni mama Khayra prefer Mamy Poko n Huggies Dry Comfort.
