Improvised Sweet Potato Recipe~~

Last weekend Sufia already 8 months old(time does fly)....So I was thinking to cook more 'ganas' homemade food recipe for her but yet onakaniyasashi...;). As per previous post, she's having problem during poo poo so I want to try some recipe using sweet potato based on my friend's recipe, Mummy Oja (Sweet Potato+EBM) and Mummy HH(Sweet Potato puree). Before this I tried to feed her with papaya and banana but seem like she didn't like it at all. As she like to eat 'nasi' so much, so being a bit creative I came out with ithis idea as per below porridge recipe:

Segenggam beras (enough for her needs eat 2 times per day)
2 inches of sweet potato (cut cube)
1 inche of carrot (cut cube)
small quantity of ikan bilis goreng (Some people said bilis is not good for babies but some people also feed their babies with bilis.For me sekali sekala maybe OK but I also not so sure..next time will replace with fish..)
2 helai sawi

Cook and blend! As easy as ABC. She love it so much!!
Get back from work today, my mom told me that she poo poo twice today. Waa..it does work!!
So maybe I will continue to feed her with various sweet potato recipes and monitor her poo poo problem condition. Hoping that it will become better... Thank you so much my friends for your great sweet potato recipe;)

Biting baby..Ouchh!!~~

Sufia muncung nak tido

If your baby's teeth come in while you are still breastfeeding, you may be bit while nursing. This can happen for a number of reasons: if he or she's biting early in the feeding, he or she might be over-eager or frustrated, waiting for your milk to let down. If he or she bites late in the feeding, he or she may be sleepy and feeling her latch slip. Your baby's latch may also be affected if he or she has a cold or stuffy nose, and he or she may bite while adjusting. And, of course, your baby may just mistake your nipple for a teething ring and try to relieve his or her sore gums.To stop your baby from biting while nursing, calmly and gently remove him or her from your breast and say "Don't bite Mommy" or "Don't hurt Mommy." Put him or her down gently or hand him or her to someone else and wait a minute or two before you try to nurse again. This teaches him or her that when he or she bites, the milk goes away. Repeat this as often as necessary. However, always remain calm if bitten - never scream or yell. Startling or yelling at your baby may form a bad association with breastfeeding and he or she may refuse to feed altogether. Early and sudden weaning can be traumatic for you and your baby.

Oooh baru harini tau, jangan jerit2 kalu kena gigit...kekadang kalu tak tahan siap picit hidung dia nak bagi dia lepaskan..kekeke... nasib baik kalu time ummi jerit2 tu Sufia gelak2 balik pastuh sambung je macam takde pape...Betuah betul!!Mmmmm korekara akan cuba menangani ngan penuh rasa kasih sayang dan lembut setiap kali kena gigit...Boleh ke agaknya..

Give me your opinion; Bottle or cup~~

Syaura and Nurin minum susu

My eldest daughter Syaura is going to be 5 years old this year and already went to kindergarten for about 7 months... We consider her as quite big girl but she still drink her Dutch Lady 456 milk chocolate flavor using feeding bottle,like babies.. Frankly speaking I do not take it as serious matter at the first place and let her drink the milk using feeding bottle, but lately some uncomfortable voices started came to us here and there.

Some scenarios:
1) My auntie has a grandchild as same age as Syaura, came to our house and said"Eee.. dah besar2 pun minum ikut botol lagi.. Tengok Fina(her grandchild) dah minum ikut cawan.. Maknya memang dah ajar minum ikut cawan..Kan dah besar"

2) Neighbours came to our house and said, " Eh, Kakak Syaura dah sekolah pun minum ikut botol lagi ke? Kan dah besar.."

3) My QA Inspector said" Kak kenapa anak akak minum ikut botol lagi? Anak sedara saya dah tak minum susu dah..minum MILO ikut cawan je.."

Errk.. sometime not so nice to fight back..or actually they are right.. what I had been thinking is I still want her to consume a lot of milk as she refused to eat nasi(this problem I don't know why because we tried so many multivitamin brand but still not effective). Also milk contained a lot of nutrition ex. DHA, TT ratio, calcium etc. and I want her to consume it as long as possible. I'd tried to give her milk using cup but she refused to drink it. "Tak sedap!!" she said.

Hi visitors, do you have any opinion about this problem? Should I teach her to drink milk using cup or just let it be the way she like it..hmm...confuse!!

Kids able to read at early age~~

Cinderella story book

Just to share my experience here. Alhamdulillah my first daughter Syaura able to read at 4years 4months old(Malay version). Actually it is quite late compare to many other kids outside there who able to read at more younger age. Some already able to read at 2,3 years old. As for English version she able to read some words, while some not familiar one she will read as Bahasa melayu version. Very funny!!Example if she read CAT=kucing first time she will pronounce it as CAT=paint in bahasa melayu. Huhuhu... So this is the time that is very challenging for us as parents to teach her. What I did teach her to read as per below:

1) During long journey, (balik kampung etc.) I will buy paper and all the way long to destination I will take few minutes to spell and pronounce her the title of the news.

2) I bought her one set of books with colourful pic and writing and take one day 5 minutes to teach her. Actually, if I did it seriuosly maybe she will be able to read in english by now. but then as I was just "hangat hangat tahi ayam" the book wasn't help much.

3) When she was 6 months old I sent her to nursery, at the same time it was a "playschool" for her. Everyday she came back from nursery she sang new song and knew about alphabets and numbers. This "playschool" also help a lot I think. It same concept as "Education at younger age" that was advised by government to our child. But we also can do it at home by spending some time with our child do as the same as playschool. But as I am very "hardworking" I just let the "playschool" teach her.

4) Currently, she likes to read story book malay version. So I bought it for her and made a story book collection for her. She able to read "Cinderella" until the end. I hope by make a story books collection for her she will be motivated and will like to read more.

5) As now we want to teach her to read in english, we bought her a singing CD contained how to spell and read English words. She likes it.

Currently, we are looking forward to teach her to read in english so she will be able to read both in Malay and English. My conclusion is, it is not easy to be parent, and it is not easy to teach our kids huhu... Need to study more on how is the best way to educate them...
