Swim diapers for babies

mai babies just love swimming..although they are not really swimming..well,on practice actually.mak depa pon xreti berenang..hehehe..so,swimming gear is a must each time we're going on holiday.but never do i know about swim diaper.selama ni,rayyan masuk pool diaperless..i thougt baby tak poop(maybe just pees hehehe) in swimming pool.. but it's always good to take a safe action.kang dia buat projek dlm pool huru hara pulak...hihihi..alhamdulillah, rayyan dah selamat tanpa insiden..rifqi pon so far selamat juga.. but since i've come to know about it..i guess i'll put him on this from now on..just as a precaution :))

it all started when my senior,kak azah asked me where to get disposable swimming diapers... i was like,"eh..ada eh?" hehehe..yerp, ketinggalan zaman?? mula2 tu nk cakap taktau..tp i thought why not asked? and.... my cool friends in fb gave me the answer!! great what fb can do rite?

and yes, i go pampers hunting the next day..because pool-jumping activity is gonna take place this saturday..err,today actually. so, i must have it beforehand. i went first to cold storage alamanda...i got this huggies disposable little swimmer..it was RM30.99 for 10pieces(L size)..kira rm3 sekeping.. i bought this for my senior because she specifically asked for the dispo one... but since there's a reusable one, i wanna give a try on that for rifqi.

Little swimmers from huggies

nama melayunya- seluar renang pakai buang..hik3,cute!

on thursday, i went to fabulous mom to get the washable & reusable swim diaper. there's a few brand. i pick this one by Little buddy.. priced RM34.90.after discount i get it for RM27.90 ;)

saje letak big size picture so you can read the description ..kalau tak jelas sila klik n use kanta pembesar..hehee

there are S,M,L size...each depends on your baby's weight.. i pick L size for rifqi,boleh pakai lama..lgpon ada tali utk adjust kat pinggang...budak2 kan cepat jer membesar

i can't review about the practicality yet..insyaAllah, bila dah try on tuan punya badan n lompat masuk pool,i'll give my review... anyway, if your babies are the ones that loves pool(like mine!) , you can get them on discounted price at FabMom because their having sales until this sunday..those maternity n nursing bra are up to 50% discount you!!..hehehe...

apalagi, go grab it cepat2!

can't wait to meet dear Fukuians in Malacca today!!

Solid Food for Rifqi

Rifqi starts having solid since he was 7months..biasanya 6months dah boleh mula makan solid but his mommy masa tu tgh tonggang langgang malas nk start awal..lgpon xde pon kata wajib 6bulan kan? sampai 2tahun pon xpe kalau exclusively on bf..sbb tu ada hukum kata air kencing anak laki2 yg belum sampai usia 2tahun yg tidak makan apa2 selain susu ibunya itu bukan najis...tp zaman sekarang nih rata2 mula solid seawal 6bulan..kalau my mom dulu2 or yang tak kesah, awal lagi dpd tu pon ada..rasanyer masa kecik2 dulu awal2 lagi atuk dah suapkan mommy dgn nestum..hahahah..

macam rayyan dulu, mmg makan bubur buat sendiri jer..pernah masa outing gi langkawi tu(8months old),kami beli nestum konon nk bg dia mkan senang, hampeh dia xnak..diluek2 keluar...last2 makan mashed potato kfc n nasi lenyek kuah sayur beli kat kedai...huuhuh..beli heinz yg dlm botol tu pon dia tolak tepi.. biasanya nestum nih manis kan...pelik kenapa dia tak nak...tp bagus jugak laa,kalau tak mommy dia amek 'shortcut' selalu silap haribulan..hehehe.terpulang kepada ibu2 nk bg makan apa kat baby masing2, jgn tak bagi makan sudah...tp yg sebaik2nya mesti lah yg dimasak sendiri sbb kita boleh tau apa dia makan, bahan2 yg digunakan tu..dan yg penting takde perisa/perasa tambahan yg kalau boleh nk dielakkan diawal usia baby...

anyway, berbalik kepada early baby food, for the ingredients and how to prepare mostly you can just google online...for mommies who're working and sending their lil ones to the nursery, takkan larat nk masak tiap2 hari kan, so there are other alternatives you can opt for... masa awal2 nk buat bubur utk rifqi nih mmg risau juga..sbb takut tak sempat nk buat..tp ada kawan yg bg idea suruh masak byk2, n then masuk peti beku..about handling and preparing you can refer here.. rasanyer lebih kurang jer mcam uruskan ebm beku..infact, until now walaupon dah tak anta nursery, i still cook in large amount(senang kan,masak sikit2 leceh),pastu masuk small cups..senang nk bg makan n boleh alternate menu lunch n dinner..xde lah makan sama jer..heheh...u can try macam2 resepi..

i did it like this;

of course kalau nk hantar ke nursery kena letak nama baby :)

letak ingredients on the label..just in case baby sakit perut or cirit kita boleh trace dia makan apa

and the date to keep track bila kita masak,takut dah simpan lama..



awal2 tu mmg start dgn fruits..every recipe i add in a spirulina yg dihancurkan.i started with

1. avocado+kurma,
2. pear+kismis
3. banana+nasi lembik

bila dia dah suka makan... i made these(add a spirulina yg dah dihancurkan)

1. nasi lembik+apple
2. nasi lembik+grapes+kurma
3. nasi+avocado+kurma/kismis
4. nasi+pear
5. nasi+banana etc

you can try to mix and match according to the taste... bila dia dah 8months macam tu baru start dgn white meat... ikan, ayam...yang nih pon bole try macam2 resepi.. usually i did,

1. ikan(salmon mostly) + brocolli +carrot+spirulina and a small amount of cooking oil(i use olive oil)

2.ayam+potato+carrot+spirulina+a small amount of cooking oil(i use olive oil)

cooking oil tu adalah atas nasihat nurse kat klinik kesihata sbg sumber tenaga..so, i just go for it.. but be careful, baru jer baca berita kata, mintak masak dalam beg plastik yg packing kecik2 tu adalah minyak masak recycle from hotels n restaurants...kami mmg pakai minyak masak dlm botol.biar mahal sikit asalkan baik utk kesihatan famili kan?and the spirulina is just sbb nk tambah vitamins in the food..spirulina ni 100% organik so no worries...good for baby n you! ;) 

for breakfast, masih lagi bg fruits campur nasi yg diblend sbb nak keep on bg dia consuming buah2..

for minum ptg pulak, dia makan apple or buah2 yg dilenyek kasar.cara buatnya, buang kulit apple,potong dadu,masukkan dalam plastik bersih n lenyek dgn belakang cawan..sekali makan habis sebiji apple..kan org kata, an apple a day, keeps the docs away...hihihi

and then again, you can try other things... pernah try bg labu, tp end up rifqi membuang air besar byk kali...maybe angin kot..tp dulu rayyan paling suka labu.. sampai skg tak try lagi bg dia labu...nnti nak try jugak laa..

ttg bentuk bubur tu, i mean nk blend sampai jadi air ke, nk blend ala2 kasar sket ke..depends on babies laa..kalau gigi takde lagi, biarlah xkasar,senang nak digest.. kalau dah ada gigi,boleh buat kasar sket..kalau dia dah start on finger food biasanya boleh dah kunyah sikit2...dah 11bulan nih pon i still blend nasi utk rifqi..tp bukan nasi lembik, nasi standard kita makan tu cuma diblend kasar..sbb pernah tak blend dia meneran lain macam je masa nk membuang...heheh..so, i guess dia blom ready utk nasi sama standard dgn kita... :)

and don't worry, kadar pertumbuhan babies varies so, jgn risau kalau dah umur 8bulan baby masih xde gigi or tak boleh jalan lagi... every baby grow on their own phase..jgn la susah hati mak2 yer..there's nothing wrong with you child,insyaAllah...mcm rayyan dulu, umur satu tahun baru ada gigi...rifqi nih pulak,9bulan dah ada gigi...jalan dua2 lambat kot..heheheh..tp bila dah pandai jalan,laju mak aih..tak terkejar...
 
again, everything is optional! terpulang kepada mommies to try anything she thinks good for their baby..kalau baby tak gemar, jgn la paksa2..kita pon ada like & dislike kan..hehehe..and the above entry is from my personal experience and ideas...you're free to share yours too... ;)

inilah budak yang suka makan tu :D
