珍惜

人啊，当年纪越大，就会觉得慢慢觉得身边的人与事都在不定的改变。每一次都会听到别人说：要珍惜身边的一切！但是，有多少人真真正正能够做得到？？我自己也不可能完完全全办得到。

每当有天灾发生，每当听到有人逝世的消息，心里面都会想，要争取多一点时间来陪伴家人，特别是老人家。但是，过了一会儿，忙碌的生活就会把这念头打消。

“不要等到那一天才来后悔” 。。。 对！但，讲容易做就难。好多时候有很因素，不是你可以要怎样就怎样的。尤其是，当你是已经结了婚，双方的父母都要取得平衡。

人。。。就是这样的，失去后才会后悔。说一大堆的后悔的话，劝其他人要珍惜，不要和他一样的后悔。这样做是没有错的，是对的。他不想别人也像他一样的后悔。所以他奉劝要珍惜，要惜福。。。我也看了很多很多类似的“故事”，心好酸，泪会流，感动，感觉自己也是没做好自己的本分， 好惭愧。

但是，这样子的感觉，只能维持一个很短的时间。过后，就回到平常一样的生活了，对吗？？到底要怎样呢？？ 好矛盾！我不想我是后悔的那个，但是，也不能每次去陪家里的父母，要不然，会被说整天都回娘家，也不带会婆家等等。。。女儿嘛！都是想回自己的家比较多，也不知道是什么原因，就是会想回自己的家看看。每次回到家的感觉就是好舒服，有一种被疼爱的感觉！这种感觉是不会在婆家找到的。。。在那里只会有一种奇怪的“亲切感”。可能语言上沟通不来吧！不过，无论如何，还是要带小孩回去看公公婆婆的。

还是那一句话：尽量和家人多多聚在一起吧！爸爸妈妈的年纪不小了，周末就和他们一起去喝个早茶，逛逛街吧！

Injection Schedule for baby

I have heard some parents saying about the schedule of injection for their baby ... more or less, there still same no matter your baby was born in private or government hospital. Parents will received a card whereby printed when your baby should take the injection.

In generally, there is some compulsory and optional injection you have to understand. You may consult your pediatrician about the necessary on taking those optional one. 

For me, I will let my kids get all the compulsory injection from pediatrician. For the optional one, I always consult with my pediatrician before making any decision. I understand that new parents may worry like why my friend's baby take many injection ? do I need to do the same with my baby ? why they like this and that ? Am I need to follow ? Well, I am also new mama. Whenever I heard what's from my friend, I will consult my pediatrician or some child's expert. But at last, the decision still on mine.  

Some people may like to "scare" you that if you take that optional injection, then chances of getting x x x x x x x ..... and especially to those new parents will feel worry on it. Then immediately bring baby for the injection, is not saying not good but as a parents, you have to understand and get advice from professional rather from "auntie" talk, right ??

So, my advice to all new parents ~ always consult with your pediatrician or child's expert before making any decision.

Choose formula milk for 1 year old baby ...

Which formula milk suitable for my 1 year old baby ?

It's kinda a headache problem, as you may worried after change to new formula milk, baby might not get use to it. Baby may have constipation problem etc.... 

I still remember last time my son turn 1 year old, I have change many formula milk for him ~ waste my money. I bought the smaller pack or tin for him to try. As you see he like the milk, then you will consider buy big tin for him. Then after a month, he stop drink the milk then again change another formula milk ~ huh ... at that time I am quite frustrated. Till I change him to Pediasure ~ the most expensive formula milk ~ only then he start to drink milk again. 1 tin cost about RM100++ and only can serve less than 1 month (my son can drink up to 8oz in 1 time), and after few months, I try change him to GainPlus, luckily he accept it till now.

Now, is time for my little girl .... I wonder is she will be same like her brother ?? This time, I will request a sample from the supplier also. But honestly, they only give you few packs and up to 1 or 2 days only. It is very difficult to judge whether she really like it or not. So, the same thing I will do is, go to buy small tin or refill pack first. If she really accept it then buy the big tin. hahaha ~ 

Now many choices for you to choose - from cheaper one to expensive one / or may be you will consider based on the nutrition provided / from local manufacturer or imported formula milk ~ is all depends on you to choose the most suitable one for your baby.

让你的小孩喝母乳吧！

其实呢，每个人都知道母乳是有多么重要，对于一个新生儿来说，真的是一个无价之宝。但是，却不是每一位妈妈都愿意喂母乳的。原因：得罪说声 - 你们太注重你们的身材了。怕乳房下坠，变得不漂亮等等。。。说真的，我还真的看不起这样子的女人。太自私了！如果是因为母乳不足，那还可以被谅解。

小孩出生后，对他最好的食物就是母乳。因为母乳含有自然抗体，能够给于宝宝一个健康的身体。宝宝刚出世，体内没有抗体。是非常需要母乳的帮助来build up 一个好的系统。而且，也不会有过敏的问题。

我已有2个小孩了。一般来说，小孩在1岁前应该给他们喝母乳的。但是，我因为工作的关系啊，我只能够喂2个月的母乳。其实，如果工作环境允许，我也希望能够延长给我小孩喝母乳的时间。我并不是要推卸，但，真的事实就是不能， 唉！！！

在那2个月里面，我是完完全全喂母乳的。有时，奶水涨，乳房硬到像石头般，小孩又还没到时间要喝奶。那么我就用吸奶器把奶水pump出来，然后放进冰箱里，日后再拿出来给小孩喝。

把母乳挤出来后，用1个干净的容器，记得一定要写下日期和时间。母乳的存放时间有别，在正常的室温，可以耐24小时。如果放进冰箱，可以放至3到5天。如果放进冰库里，那么可以放至3个月。当然，每一次都拿最先存放的出来喂小孩喝。千万不要放进微波炉盯热，那会破坏母乳的营养。只需要把母乳倒进奶瓶里，然后把奶瓶放进一个装了热水的杯，就像炖水一样。不到5分钟就可以给小孩喝了。每当哺乳时，看着宝宝在吸母乳，真得很感动的！感觉非常非常的贴近。宝宝喝饱了，就在怀里面，听着妈妈的心跳，感觉好安全的睡着了。

那一种感觉，我是不会忘记的。那种感觉就是母亲与孩子之间的一种联系，是很温暖的。而且，是多么的纯真，你是不会在任何人身上得到。我会怀念这种被信任的感觉， 一个被小孩信任的感觉。

要有足够的母乳，妈妈就要喝多点汤水吧，也要有足够的休息。那才可以确保有足够的奶水来给宝宝喝。就算不能亲自喂，至少你也可以pump出来给宝宝喝。千万不要认为喂母乳会让你身材走样，是没有这回事的！反而，会让你的身材更加丰满呢！

小孩不再尿床了

从小开始，在白天，我都没有给他穿尿片的，我只有给他穿尿布。晚上，睡觉前便让他穿尿片。因为，那样他比较能够一觉睡到天亮。

当他3岁时，我开始不给他穿尿片了。我希望它能够学会自己去厕所大小便。其实，在他1岁大时，就可以慢慢让他知道要坐马桶了。我还特地买了2个小孩子的小马桶。

在日间，我开始让他慢慢体会到尿湿裤子的感觉，其实是不好受的。我会很像“长气婆”那样，时不时就问他要不要小便？要不要大便？哈哈！好啰嗦哦! 有时我也顶不顺我自己,那么的长气 .....哈哈哈! 每一次喝水或吃完饭后, 差不多时间啊, 我就会问他要不要上厕所 .. 如果他要, 我就会带他去坐那小马桶, 然后, 让他知道要坐马桶大小便.

晚上, 我就会在他临睡前，先叫他去小便。然后，才上床睡觉。一开始那几天，睡到半夜，我们就会叫他起床，带他会厕所小便。他很自然的小完便，就继续睡觉，一直到天亮。接下来，我就和他说：要小便就叫爸爸妈妈起床带你去。结果，他真的会叫我们起床带他去厕所。不过，他有时还是会尿在裤子啦！但是，我们并没有责骂他。只是和他说：下次不要尿在裤子啦。要叫爸爸妈妈带你去小便就好了。其实，他只是在半夜起1次身，小了便又继续睡到天亮。已经算是很不错了吧！

他现在已经完完全全没有再穿尿片了，就连日间也开始穿小底裤了。他已经开始习惯要上厕所了！我省下了不少买尿片钱噢！

Night Time Potty Training for my son

I started to train my son not to wear diaper when he is 3 years old. During day time, I let him wear panty. Haha, is so funny to see him wear his panty for the first time.

Lat time, he use to pee on his panty and need to change all the time. He definitely will feel uncomfortable after pee on pants. Then I started to train him by asking him : "Do you want go to toilet ? Tell me when you feel you want to pee or poo". Keep on ask him and let him aware of that. It's quite fussy, right ? My baby sitter will do the same also.

At home, after meal or milk - normally after 1 hour, sure I will ask him: "toilet ?" ... sometime he will said "yes", then I quickly bring him to toilet and let him sit on the potty. Sometime he told me he want to go to toilet before I asked him. hehehe ...

Night time, I use to let him pee before going to sleep. I will told him like that - "now you are not wearing diaper, if you want go to toilet, call me or papa, ok ?".  After that, he will go to sleep. For the frst few days, we will wake him up and bring him to toilet, and he continue back to sleep after toilet. Then day after day, he will wake me up if he want go to toilet. So far, he has did a good job, and I really save a lot on his diapers. Only sometime may be he too tired, he will pee on his pants. Time to change his pants, and still not wearing diaper .... hahaha.

Praise to Lord, now he manage to sleep throughout the night without wearing diapers. And if he really want to go to toilet, he will wake me up ask for accompany to toilet. Normally he only wake up 1 time during midnight then go back to sleep again till sun rise.

This is the way I train my son not to depend on diaper, is quite tired but it's worth. No need to pressure the kid, in my opinion. Some kid may be able to start earlier but I think 3 years old still consider ok .... ^_^
