Starting solid...

-

Yesterday was 3 July 2010...

It was supposed to be on 9 July 2010...

..another 6 more days to her 6 months stage but due to certain circumstances (which i would just keep it to myself)..i started to introduce hayra her first solid food...Well, it wasn't a guilty as charged act anyway..she's 5 months 4 weeks and 1 day old..

It was hard..because i really wanted for her to gasp the 6 months benchmark first before introducing her to solid food but i thought i made the right decision as a mother (..mm..dramatik bunyi nye..padahal..nak bagi solid food jer kan..)

..i got this from BabyCenter..

'Signs of readiness for solid food
Your baby probably won't do all these things — they're just clues to watch for.
• Can hold head up - yes
• Sits well in highchair - not so
• Makes chewing motions - always
• Shows significant weight gain (birth weight has doubled) - hers is still normal
• Shows interest in food - definitely
• Can close mouth around a spoon - yea
• Can move food from front to back of mouth - yes
• Can move tongue back and forth, but is losing tendency to push food out with tongue - yes
• Seems hungry after 8 to 10 feedings of breast milk or 40 oz. of formula in a day - not so but i'm not so sure about this
• Is teething - yes..a bit maybe

In the end, i was so excited while baby shopping her solid food. Well, some of you might say that..'eh..ngape tak masak..'..again, i would like to keep it to myself the reason for this decision..

BIG STEP for a mother to introduce her baby to the world of 'SOLID FOOD' yet i treasured it very much and hayra really enjoyed her new experience of tasting something that so new to her..

Alhamdulillah..everything went well and i really liked her enthusiasm while waiting for her food to come...

Next aim..to make my own baby food..till the next post..

Yes..i'm back at work..(it has been 2 weeks already).. ..it means that..i'm back at being a fully breastfeed working mother. ..it means that..there'll be more 'lack of sleep' issue. ..it means that..i need to always remind myself 'chaiyok chaiyok..'. So, there it goes.. My Journal 4.30am - Usually, Emyr will wake up at this hour and i will BF him for almost 20 minutes; Then, i will change his diaper 5.00am - Next..change Hayra's diaper 5.15am - Double check on hayra's bag (..the one that i will give to my mom in law); wash all the used bottles; hang our wet clothes/ fold the dry clothes 6.00am - Pump for Emyr's FBM with my medela harmony (Well..freshly expressed breastmilk may be kept at room temperature for up to 10 hours..so, emyr will be able to drink his fresh milk); Put it next to the warmer so that my mom will know that's the fresh one; Wash my medela harmony. 6.15am - Prepare myself to the office and packed 2 of the most important thin...

Fiyuuuhhhh.... Lots of things happened last week.. First, i got this news... Alhamdulillah...i'm so happy...after 4 months waiting for this signal. This time, i chose to buy the digital tester...haha... 'over giler kan' ...n it cost me RM27...that expensive heh compared to the normal tester which will only cost you less than RM10. The next day, i went to Pusat Rawatan An-Nur n i met the popular Dr.Khamsiah. Now, i'm 5 weeks pregnant...:-) Next...after thinking for our future life together...me n my husband thought that it will be the right time for us to have our own house. It's not that i'm not happy with our life arrangement at this moment..living one week at my parents' house and the other week at my in-laws but the satisfaction will be more with our own house. So, we bought a house in Kota Warisan...it was a good deal..we thought. But, the bad news...we had an accident..luckily both of us are okay. Someone smashed my husband's car from the back...but...
