look at this baby!!!...so big ***wink***

Bouncing baby boy as big as a six-year-old

A ten-month-old Chinese baby has grown to weigh around 44 lbs, equivalent to a normal six-year-old child, state media has reported.

When he was born in China's southern Hunan province, Xiao Lei weighed around 7.7 lbs, just above the average weight of a newborn baby.

But thanks to a strong appetite, Xiao Lei started ballooning one month later and is now double the size of many babies at a similar age.

Xiao Lei's mother Cheng Qingyu found it difficult to hold her son in her arms like other parents, and said she had to rest every ten minutes.

But she said she was not concerned that her son, who has been branded a Michelin baby, might have eaten tainted food.

"I feed my son with my breast milk. I've never had him take any milk powder or anything that contains hormones. Why would I need to worry?" she said.

Xiao Lei is currently being treated in Hunan Children's hospital, where he is undergoing a series of medical checks to see what caused him to gain so much weight. Doctors at the hospital said his weight would most likely cause problems for his heart and blood pressure, and said he must lose weight in order to be healthy.

Cabaran breastfeeding

Melihat kepada topik dan isu ini teringkat sy kepada pengalaman dari diri sy sendiri...

sedih juga melihat degan sikap org yng masih tidak terbuka mindanya untuk memberi susu ibu kepada anaknya sendiri...yelah tak boleh nak disalahkan mereka juga.maybe kekurangan ilmu yg disampikan...contoh nya golongan atau masyrakat dulu-dulu..lebih mempelajari ilmu hasil dari turun temurun..walaupun ia logik atau tidak logik..munkin boleh dirujuk tetapi tidak semua boleh diguna pakai dgn sewajarnya...ia merujuk kepada pengalamn sy ketika bersalinkan anak pertama...sy mmg dah bertekad di dalam hati..mmg nak breastkan anak sy sendiri..mak sendiri memberi penekanan kepada sy untuk campur susu mungkin melihat badan sy agak kurus..dan dia berasa tidak confident...ditambah pulak dgn bidan yang datang mengurut suruh campur..juga..dalam hati..knp nak campur...sedangkan susu ada...mmm...3 hari datg..3 harilah.tanye dah campur ke blum...dia kate nanti susah dah kerja...nak bagi susu semua kene biasekan dari kecil...hu...hu...mmm..org tua kan..iyekan jelah...dia tak de ilmu nak buat EBM...hi..hi...kite nie dah hidup di zaman moden..nak tahu semua bende dalam internet semua ade....semua boleh dipelajari sendiri...so mane yg boleh kite ikut..ikut lah...mane yang tidak..iye kan juga...nak kene jaga perasan diaorng nie...juga...

Selain faktor peranan org tua, ade juga mereka yg tidak mendapat sokongan daripada keluarga terdekat..ade sampai suami sendiri pun tidak memberi galakan...mmm...sedihkan...kalau tiada sokongan, ini  bermakne diri sendiri sbg ibu kene ade semnagat yg tinggi..yelah..definately suami tak kan tolong nak beli pump yg bagus..so kenelah pandai2 cari duit dan simpan...sy rase itu tidak adil bagi seorang ibu yg mempunyai hajat yg suci...tidak mendapat sokongan dari suami sendiri...sabar jelah kan...

so munkin ade diantar amereka yg mempunyai masalah yg berbeza...sgt berterima kasih sekiranya isu ini dapat dikongsi bersama supaya semua ibu berasa sgt dihargai....walaupun org yg terdekat tidak menghargainya...

Basic Kit...breastfeeding or bottlefeeding for working mother

This tips I copy from newspaper the Star pageP16 -Parenting dated 11-08-2010

If you're working,  or choose to do a combination of breast- and bottle feeding here are the basic equipment you'll need

• A quality breastpump. It can be manual or electric, as long as it's from reputable company.The important thing is to make sure the pump is BPA-free
• BPA-free milk storage bottles or bags
• A striliser
• A good quality liquid cleanser for washing your equipment and bottles. Choose that gentle and has natural ingredients instead of harsh chemicals. Go for paraben-free cleansers if you can.
• BPA milk bottles
• A good nipple cream to protect agains cracks and soreness
• Breast pads, because you are going to be leaking milk almost all the time
• A good nursing bra. Your breasts will be sore and tender for the first few month. so choose somthing in soft cotton. Don't bother with padded ones unltill at least on year down road, if you're still breastfeeding..

Bilangan susu ibu(stok) yang diidamkan...

Hi..hi..hari nie nak cite pasal gambar nie..sy amat tertarik..dan amat kagum dengan keupayaan ibu nie membuat stok sebnyak ini...wah2..kagum sungguh...sy berazam nak buat mcm nie juga..satu hari..mase first baby..cume dapat 34 botol jer..tak cukup...berape botol lah gak nye tu...seronok dapat buat stok banyak2.....(pastu ikan, ayam nak letak mane lah gak nye..) ha..ha.. rase boleh buat ker...kene ade semangat nie...kene buat mase pantang...kalau dah kerje..mmg tak sempat...pengalamn sebelum..pump hr nie tuk suppply esok harinye...struggle nak cukupkan stok..ape-apepun..mesti kene boleh...ye tak...?

Article to be share...

I think this article is good to share..especially..new mom!!!

L.A.T.CH.O. - Learned Attachment Techniques CHanges Outcomes

Breastfeeding Natural? YES! – Comes Naturally? NO!

For a mother breastfeeding is a learned behaviour, but for her baby, breastfeeding is instinctive.

Natures way for mothers to learn, is by subconsciously observing other mothers holding, positioning, and attaching their babies successfully.

Unfortunately almost every human culture has interfered with this natural process and today many women don’t have the opportunity to learn to breastfeed naturally. Mothers certainly don’t understand how to work with their baby’s innate behaviours, unless someone explains it to them.

Today, health professionals and lay counsellors in this field, play an absolutely crucial role in replacing the loss of the natural process, by teaching mothers attachment techniques that support innate infant behaviour and the “mechanics” of breastfeeding.

The first 3-4months of life is a unique period for the human infant. When feeding behaviour is entirely instinctive and reflex and the infants anatomy is uniquely matched to these behaviours. These reflex behaviours are dependent on; appropriate sensory input, adequate positional stability and the maturity and functionality of the physical structures involved.

When 0 to 3-4 month old infants are provided with the appropriate sensory input, (“skin to skin” or firm contact with the mothers’ body and breast) they instinctively search for the breast by lifting their heads and thrusting the chin and mouth forward, which in turn has the effect of tilting the head backwards. This “Instinctive Position” or posture anatomically matches the processes required for good attachment and the “suck-swallow-breathe” cycles that are breastfeeding.

 

The Head tilt – extension or flexion

When a baby lifts the chin and mouth towards the breast, this has the effect of tilting the head backwards. The perception that this puts the infant into extension, rather than flexion, has caused a lot of consternation. Lift your own chin and mouth as if searching for the breast and you will experience that your cervical vertebrae stretch forward as your head tilts backwards. When a baby is brought to the breast with their hips and shoulders against mothers’ body, and lift their chin and mouth, to search for the breast, they are simply stretching the cervical spine forward; a very different scenario from extension, when a baby throws its head and shoulders back away from the breast.

 

To make Good Attachment physically possible babies need to be brought to the breast in the “instinctive position”, where the mouth opens wide, the tongue extends forward and baby can “scoop” a large amount of breast over the tongue and lower jaw.

The nipple rolls back, close to the junction of the hard & soft palate, and the breast fills baby’s mouth, with the tongue & lower jaw positioned deep under the milk ducts and breast tissue immediately behind the nipple. (see Rebecca’s unique graphics) Attachment is not physically possible with the chin down, and try swallowing with your chin dropped towards your chest!

With the essential mouthful in place, (appropriate sensory input – everything touching in baby’s mouth) the infant responds, using the combination of; negative pressure in the pharynx, the mothers milk ejection reflex and the mechanical action of the lower jaw & tongue to comfortably and effectively breastfeed.

The Magic of Positional Stability

The newborn infant is totally reliant on external support, positional stability.

Without a stable base, function and mobility is less controlled or even impossible. Therefore, for the infant to execute the complex oro-motor movements required for attachment and breastfeeding they must be provided with the appropriate stability.

Oral Stability is dependent on neck and shoulder girdle stability, which are inturn, dependant on trunk and pelvic stability.

To support the reflex behaviours for effective Breastfeeding infants require:

• 
  
  Midline Stability – body centrally straight from head to toe The symmetrical movement of the muscles on both sides of baby’s body is crucial for optimal oro-motor function
• 
  
  Shoulder Girdle Stability – firm support in the middle of baby’s body between the shoulders. This stabilises the neck, head, jaw, tongue, pharynx & larynx to enable controlled and effective oro-motor movement.
• 
  
  Trunk and Pelvic Stability – shoulders and hips turned towards and supported against the mothers’ body.

When a mother brings her nought to three to four month old baby to the breast in the “instinctive position” AND provides them with the necessary positional stability it triggers and supports the innate sequence of reflex behaviours that are breastfeeding

Pregnancy/breastfeeding dan berpuasa

Salam..tak lame je lagi kita akan menyambut bulan ramadhan yg penuh rahmat...so my article this time more about pregnancy and breastfeeding ketika di bulan puasa...agak menarik untuk dikongsi bersama kan? Bercerita mengenai puasa..sy telah melalui kedua-dua fasa beikut semasa anak yang pertama....mmg agak mencabar tetapi amat bersyukur kerana melaluinye dengan sempurnanya asalkan dengan niat kerana Allah..insyaAllah Allah akan melindungi kita....

Ketika mengandungkan anak pertama...Alhamdullilah sy dapat melaksanakan ibadah puasa dengan jayanya cukup sebulan. Sy rase tiada halangan sekiranya perempuan mengandung melaksana ibadah tersebut denga sempurna..tiada alasan tidak boleh malah..masa mengandung lah kite boleh cukup puasa..tak perlu nak cari mase nak ganti2...betul tak..tapi kalau tiada kudarat...diizinkan untuk tidak berpuasa....especially..kalau golongan wanita yg di awal prengnancy tu kan....morning sickness...mesti lagi kuat cabarannya...tak pe...ade hikmat disebaliknye tu....apepun kepada wanta mengandung..kene cuba berpuasa...yng penting kene sahur...jgn tak sahur..takut tak tahan nanti....pengalaman sy mmg kene sahur dan niat..ckp dgn baby...ibu nak puasa...insyaAllah akan dipermudahkan....Ok nie cerita jumaat lepas..sy mengganti kan puase sy selama 1 hari yg thn lepas nye puase..kira tu sambil2..nak test boleh tak nak menghadapi puasa yg bakal menjelma...nie...Sy bukan ape...hari biase nie..maksudnye hari tak puasa nie..kalau tak de makanan...macm nak pengsan!...sy nie kalau pregnant makanan kene sentiase ad stok...nanti boleh hot temper..he..he..over kan...? tu yg nak test boleh tak...puasa nie..so bile dah niat nak ganti...alhamdullilah....berjaya berpuasa tanpa rase mcm nak pengsan....dah yang surprisenye...terasa baby dalam perut nie bergerak seolah2 ingin memberitahu...nak kan sesuatu..hi..hi..pandai jer teka...apepun naluri ibu....agak surprise tu sbb..kandungan baru 3 bulan..adakan sudah boleh terasa pergerakkan?...mmm biasa antara 4 hingga 5 bulan....itu yg agak menghairankan sy..cume percaya kepda kekuasaan Allah...

Ok Now bercerita pula masa breastfeeding..hu..hu..lagi mencabar..almaklumlah...bile dah pump sure akan terasa lapardan haus..so kepada ibu-ibu yang masih breastfeed di bawah 6 bulan..nie..kalau dapat banyakkan buat stok..supaya tidak termiss tak larat nak pump...masa sy dulu..pump waktu tgh hari masih bertahan..ok..bile pump waktu petang..rase tak laratnye badan..mmg terase letihnye...then bila samapi rumah baby nak susu..bg direct....lagilah tak larat....tapi....cabaran tu boleh dilalui..dengan niat..dan semangat yang kental..and insyaAllah Allah akan membantu kita....yang penting semngat nak terus breastfeed baby kene diteruskan

Apepun tak kirelah masa pregnant atau breastfeeding bukanlan 1 alasan untuk kita tidak berpuasa....amalkan ibadah tersebut seperti biasa...

Oklah kepada ibu-ibu yang sedang hamil atau yang masih breastfeed..Selamat menjalani ibadah puasa dengan niat kerana Allah....

I got something that I would like to share with everybody. mm...start this week and onwards..i dah kene makan vitamins.its normal lah rite for preggy women..1.Calcium-(important) 2. Obimin (important) 3. Neurogain (optional but highly recomended)

Did you know why I said the neurogain is highly recomended?..probably you can refer this site http://www.mederis.com.my/NeuroGainPB_Vegi.html for more details. This supplement is available for the range groups from early pregnancy, breastfeeding untill your baby besar..

I was started to eat this supplement (neurogain) from my first pregnancy...and now I can see the difference how my baby can learn faster from normal baby...it is proven by the nursery yg jaga dia...they said my son is a fast learner and active boy...compared with the other kids within his age groups. I only ate this supplement sampai bersalin je..pastu dah tak nak makan sebab macam loya...he..he..forget about it..and think its benefit..that will better..rite?

And for non-breastfeeding mom...called galactis (i cannot copy the image since its protected by the site) so I would  give you the site link as further detail http://www.mederis.com.my/galactis.html

Happy exploring and enjoying your breastfeeding moments....

My 1st experience

Firstly, thank you for visiting this blog, actually the purpose I setting up this blog is to invite anybody especially womens, mommies, mommies wannabe or ladys which interested to share/gain their knowledge and experienced in  using breastpump.Which brand you choose?electric or manual?Does a higher price mean a better pump?

My1st experience in using breastpump is medela manual -hi..hi..baru sgt so tak brp nak pandai pilih brand...so penat giler mengepam..penat2-penat pun I manage to make my own stock about 34 botol 4oz each...then when start working baru i gune medela mini electric (thanks to ida semurni because hadiahkan bp tu , really2 appreciate it) . It was very convenience, easy to use and easy to carry anywhere..but setelah that pump  berjasa selama 9 months, I  bought  a new pump spectra 3 to replace the medela mini electric and hoping the milk supply could be better than before.

So sad the milk supplying was not consistent and my breast felt sakit and sometime luka. Maybe it because of different model makes different pressure of sucking. So I stop using spectra  3 and  go back using medela.Mybe some women didn't have that kind of problem. After a year using medela so I am planning to buy a new one for the 2nd baby InsyaAllah. Since i felt uncomfortable to use it. And  alhamdullilah now  I am,  so excited to own a new breastpump which is medela free style worth RM 2229 (retail price) and willing to invest from now and  do a collection sedikit demi sedikit..

So now. price is the major factor during the selection process. Many working mother will prefer the perfect breastpump specification to ensure they are able to supply their milk to the baby continuously in a very efficient way and worth for the money. As recommendation,electric pump will benefit more   rather than  manual breast pump.But there are a lot of things to be consider before you buy your dream breastpump especially when the new baby is arriving and of course the have already consumed a lot of expenses.
