Ulang tahun ke-5 Diari Nick Hakimie

Sedar tak sedar dah 5thn berdiari online aka berblogging. Asalnya nak kongsi kehidupan seharian dgn kwn2 yg jauh di mata. Ku juga suka membaca bacaan santai & dkt dgn daily life ku spt pengalaman kwn2 lain membesarkan ank2, alam pekerjaan, penyusuan dll. Yg baik jadikan ikutan & ku suka bljr dr pengalaman org lain. Membaca kisah kehidupan org lain umpama membaca novel. Dah krg minat baca novel biasa tu sbb di alam khayalan je rasa tp baca diari online ni ada kisah benar yg mengajar erti sebuah kehidupan.

Alam blogging jg menemukan aku dgn kwn2 baru yg berkongsi minat yg sama. Justeru rasa lebih memahami & dkt walaupun tak pernah berjumpa di alam realiti.

Kpd yg mengenali mohon maaf sekiranya 5thn coretan di Diari Nick Hakimie ni ada yg tidak menyenangkan.

Thn baru ni ku cuba belajar bisnes online pula. Jemput cuci mata di blogshop ku ;) > Cloth 'd' Nz. Semoga dgn sokongan semua ia mampu berkembang. "Biar kecil asal berhasil" memetik kata2 Chef Li.

Simpan Challenge

Bln 11 dulu nak join simpan challenge, rasa dah bg email kat abangabu tp tesilap isi kot.pastu nak join balik tgk ada byrn sket, tak reti lak singapore currency ke camne (tak contact dia lak..he..he..) tp sbb ada blogger share, so copy dr blog dia je tips2 tu. Credit to Yus. Sume ada 30 tips. Baru amal yg ni :

Tip #1 : Sediakan Tabung

Beria cari balang kuih raya nak wat tabung..he..he..Abangabu ckp takyah beli, cari je mana2 bks yg ada. Niatnya nak simpan duit kan, takyah la kua duit beli tbg utk simpan duit..he..he..Utk permulaan buh syiling2 'lebih' dr purse & yg jumpa2 kat umah ni.

Tip #2 : Minta diskaun

Actually dah lama amal kat satu kedai kat pusanika tpt aku keje ni. Dia selalu bg diskaun RM2. Tp kat tpt lain tak berani mintak lak..he..he..So lps dpt tips ni terus amal la tp tak kat semua tpt lg. Mintak diskaun kat tadika ank aku hr tu..he..he..anak aku dah 3thn kat situ kan. TQ kak Pah dpt diskaun RM10 every month. So kena la masuk tabung RM10 every month.

Tip #4 : Mulakan buku nota belanja

Ni dah lama buat tp stop few months ago sbb buku 555 dah habih. Nak beli asyik tertangguh2. Pdhal buku nota kecik2 byk je dpt dr opis ni. Nak kena wat segera nih. Sblm ni main catat je tak wat analisa & takde pengurangan belanja pun.Cuma kalau nak trace duit habih ke mana sng la bukak buku je. Lps ni kena kira jumlah & krgkan mana yg boleh.

Tip #20 : Bawa bekal makan

Ni kdg2 je time byk masa waktu pg & rajin prepare, setakat roti je la tp save la duit kuih pg tu kan. Sjk dr pregnant dulu mmg duit habih ke mknn sbb asyik lapar je..huhu..Selagi boleh kawal cuba la elak beli kat lua.Dah hjg2 bln buleh lak bertahan sbb duit ciput je laie..he..he..kalau br gaji tak berkira ya, main beli je. Ptg2 Hakimi asyik nak membeli je. Tgh selera mkn nak wat camne. Ummi nak masak dah letih + sikecit tu tak kasi can nak berdukung saja. Kalau mood rajin ala isteri solehah, masak la sambil kendong dia..he..he..

Tip #23 : Baca satu buku kewangan

Dah khatam Ke mana wang anda / Hjh. Rohani. Tgh baca Cukup wang hati tenang. Dpt diskaun beli masa International conference kat ILIM awl bln lps. Kena buh dlm tbg tu ;)

Kat ats tu tabung dr pembekal buku. Dpt sorang satu. Awl thn dia tak bg kalendar, bg tabung. Baguh gak. Siap ada surah al-Asr lg. Ni simpan challenge kat opis lak. tak tentu brp nak buh.asal rasa nak buh je.

Sedih bila saving dah tinggal sikit. Kete la punya pasal. Belanja lain pun ada gak tp aku tak terasa sgt sbb demi ank - byr spital, bf gadgets, suplement. Utk thn br ni moh menyimpan balik. Target RM1 ribu sebln. Dgn usaha yg tinggi pasti berjaya. Amiiin.

Milk booster

First time cuba set BF beli dgn Mommylina. Masa tu production agk low jgk la + asik rasa letih je. Hr pertama mkn dah nampak kesan. Maybe ditambah faktor mknn & hjg minggu. Hjg minggu kan waktu relaks dgn ank2 tak tensen wat kije..he..he..Minggu tu g kenduri mkn nsk minyak sdp dgn acar buah. Mlm tu mmg melimpah2 susunya. Adnin hisap few minutes je letdown sampai 3x. Yg sblh lg menitik2 laju. Ya Allah happynya rasa.

Tp aku perasan bdn aku mmg cpt adapt dgn milk booster baru. Dlm seminggu dua susu taklah sebyk mula2 mkn2. Byk faktor gak jd penyumbangkan, maybe terskip mknn, pam tak ikut waktu tetap, keje dll. Tp aku still puas hati sbb susu nampak mkn pekat & Adnin takdelah merungut2 tak cukup susu. Bekalkan 30z sebotol kat taska pun cikgu takde cakap kena top up byk lg.

So aku decide nak terus consume shaklee ni. 2nd time beli dgn Hasmah lak sbb urgent hr tu (recommended by Rina) Kali ni order set trial pack with ostematrix plok sbb jrg minum susu skrg & adult should consume 3 gelas susu setiap hr esp. bf mom. kalsium ni pun penting utk tulang kan.

Production agak ok. tak perlu lg bergegas ke taska kul 1 kes tak cukup susu yg pam kat ofis & rumah. Kdg2 masih rasa penat lg, maybe sbb pmknn tak seimbang & life management yg tak brp ok.

Alfalfa cukup utk 15 hr je so dah lama abis.skrg susu agk menurun sket. Faktor pam pun jd sbb kot. S3 nak kena servis dah kot tp tataula bila nak g cari Lunatot showroom nih. Masa pam pun lari2, musim audit dlmn skrg. Faktor letdown reflex pun ye jgk. dkt 1/2 jam br dpt 2nd letdown. kul 1 tu mmg paksa bia dpt atleast 6oz. kalau tak, tak cukuplah bkln adnin ke taska.

Skrg try fenugreek dr Babysnowdrop lak. Mlm2 Adnin mcm tak puas nyusu time mula2 nak tdo tu. Siap tertonggeng2. Tp bila tgh mlm kdg2 mcm tak kosong sepenuhnya lps dia hisap. So dptla 40z bila pam kul 5lebih tu.

Soya milelea & jantung pisang mmg amat berkesan kat aku. hjg minggu lps pekena jantung pisang cicah sambal tempoyak, mlm tu kena pam jam 3 pg sbb dah bengkak. nak kena beli lg nih, buleh cicah budu lak..em..yummy..

Diaper cover

When making your Diaper Cover choice there are a few questions your should answer for yourself.

1. What kind of fit do you require?Certain covers will provide you with a trimmer fit than others (in particular, PUL covers with snaps or Velcro). This was important to me, not only for fitting clothes over top of the "diaper butt," but also because I didn't want my daughter to feel like she was wearing a saddle between her legs all the time. (This is an exaggeration, but I think you get my point.)

2. Is breathability important to you?Wool and fleece covers are definitely known for being more breathable. This can be beneficial for babies with sensitive skin, or as an overnight diaper.

3. Are you cloth diapering because you prefer to use natural fibers?If your answer is yes, then wool is your best option.

4. What kind of diaper is going underneath?If you are using a prefold, consider which folds you might use. A pull on cover, whether it is PUL, wool, or fleece, will not work well if you are not intending to use pins or a Snappi. It will bunch up and lose its effectiveness. If you don't want to use these fasteners, then you should use a snug fitting cover.

5. What are your laundry preferences?While wool covers do not need to be washed as often as PUL or fleece, they are more labor intensive when they are soiled. They need to be hand-washed and air dried. Think about whether you will be up for hand-washing or not.Last but not least...

6. How much money do you want to spend?Covers vary in price from approximately $8-40. PUL covers are the least expensive and wool are the most.

Diaper Rash

WHY BABIES GET DIAPER RASH
Start with ultra sensitive skin, add the chemicals and moisture of urine and stools, cover the area with a diaper that rubs back and forth, and you have diaper rash. This damaged skin is susceptible to the invasion of bacteria and yeast, which can make the rash worse.

SEVEN WAYS TO PREVENT OR MINIMIZE DIAPER RASH
If your baby does not have a problem with diaper rash, then you don't need to be too strict with these preventative measures. However, if you are constantly battling rash, here are some helpful hints to minimize it:

Change diapers frequently - at least every two hours in newborns. You can space this out as baby starts to urinate less often.

Change poopy diapers right away - this is a lot of trouble at first since newborns often have small, frequent stools. This will slow down as baby grows.

Try different brands - if using disposables, another brand may fit a little better and cause less friction.

Rinse cloth diapers - add a half-cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle. This helps remove alkaline irritants. Your diaper service can also do this.

Wipe well - be sure to wipe all the stool and urine away.
Use unscented wipes or just plain water - these are less irritating. You can even rinse out the wipes with water, although this takes more time.

Diaper rash cream - some lucky babies don't need any. More sensitive bottoms need cream with each new diaper. There are two basic types of barrier creams:

Petroleum ointment (Original A & D ointment) - this is an excellent preventative every-day ointment. It's less sticky and less messy.

White zinc oxide - this is thicker and may be better for babies who are more prone to rash.

FOUR WAYS TO TREAT DIAPER RASH FLARE-UPS
No matter how diligent you are with the above measures, your baby will still have a rash from time to time. Here are some tips to treating those rough spots:

Wash off bottom with water - don't wipe the sore areas. Instead, use a bulb syringe to gently wash baby's diaper area.

Gently dab or pat away any remaining stool. Blot baby's bottom dry.

Let it air out - leave the diaper off for a while, with no diaper cream on. Lay baby on a towel (with a waterproof pad underneath to catch accidents) with her bottom up. Do this as often as you can. This will help dry out the rash, which is important for the healing process.

Diaper cream - when you do put the diaper back on, use generous amounts of cream. Here are some suggestions:
Zinc oxide - for the moderate rash.

Acid mantle - this is a brand name sold in stores. It is outstanding for moderate diaper rashes. Can be used with zinc oxide over it.

Butt paste or Triple paste - there are a variety of creams that a pharmacist can mix up for you that contain a variety of ingredients. These are good for severe rashes. One brand that is already mixed is called Triple Paste. Ask your pharmacist for some. It is non-prescription.

Clotrimazole anti-fungal cream - for stubborn rashes, yeast may be involved (see below). You can add this over-the-counter cream to help.

Hydrocortisone 1% cream - you can put this over-the-counter cream on twice a day beneath any of the other creams to help with severe rashes. It will help with the inflammation. Don't use this for more than several days at a time as long-term use can damage the sensitive skin in the diaper area.

Soothe and heal by Lansinoh. This pure lanolin ointment is excellent for soothing sore bottoms.

Mix your own - if you can't get a prescription, try mixing these together in the palm of your hand, then apply to baby's bottom:
Zinc oxide
White petroleum ointment
Acid mantle
Aluminum acetate (Burrow's solution)
If you cant find Acid Mantle, then use Lansinoh (a lanolin ointment). It is available in the diaper cream section of drug stores.

IDENTIFYING SPECIFIC DIAPER RASHES
Here are a few diaper rashes that can be more than just irritation from the stool, urine, and diaper. They usually require more specific therapy:

Contact diaper rash - this is simply the regular rash as discussed above.
Appearance - flat, red, irritated skin. When severe, skin will peel or blister and slough off.
Treatment - as described above.
Intertrigo - this is a specific rash that occurs within the skin folds and creases around the diaper area where the skin rubs together.
Appearance - Heat and moisture mixed with urine cause a red, burn-like appearance.
Treatment - regular white petroleum diaper ointment.
Yeast rash - when the skin is damaged, yeast from the intestines can invade the skin. This especially occurs with antibiotic use or prolonged rash.
Appearance - it is a red, raised, patchy rash with sharp borders, mostly over the genitalia but with satellite spots sprinkled around the diaper area. Click here to view a picture of a yeast diaper rash.
Treatment - in addition to the above measures, there are two commonly used anti-fungal creams:
Clotrimazole - over-the-counter. Apply 2 - 3 times a days beneath the other creams.
Nystatin - prescription. Not necessarily better, just different.
Acidophilus - this is a natural bacterial powder that fights off yeast. Click on it to learn more.
Impetigo - this occurs when bacteria invade the damaged skin.
Appearance - coin-sized blisters or red raised patches that ooze a honey-colored crust.
Treatment - prescription antibiotic ointment as well as the above general measures.
Seborrhea - an inflammatory condition that can affect different parts of the body, but can be especially severe in the diaper area.
Appearance - a big, red, sharply demarcated patch over the groin, genitalia, and lower abdomen. It can be more raised, rough, thick, and greasy than the other rashes.
Treatment - hydrocortisone 1% cream (over-the-counter) 2 - 3 times a day. Don't use more than a week unless directed by your doctor.
Allergy ring - a variety of foods can irritate baby's bottom, especially acidic foods such as citrus and tomato-based sauces.
Appearance - a red ring around baby's anus.
Treatment - discontinue suspected foods. Breastfeeding moms may need to eliminate foods from their diet.

WHEN TO WORRY
None of the diaper rashes discussed here are so serious that they warrant an urgent call to your doctor in the evening or overnight. They generally can wait to be evaluated and treated by your doctor's office the following day

Balik raya haji

Dah masuk thn 2010 baru nak cite psl blk raya haji da..he..he..takpolah, siaran tertunda ;) Impian tercapai nak blk dgn flight 4 brnk. Ku suka walaupun poket rabak guna kad htg. Sblm ni naik flight dgn Hakimi je (masa hubby kije kat kelate - kes tak confident naik bas takut Hakimi muntah. Aku pun mabuk gak.)

Asalnya abe kata tak dpt cuti raya.Sehari sblm ry keje lg sekerat hr.Kalau aku nak blk awl dgn flight 3 brnk boleh katanya sbb takut jem + musim hjn. Dah kena dulu blk sehari sblm ry tgh mlm br sampai kg. Tp tak best lak blk 3 brnk je. Kebtln anak buah abe blk dgn kereta so decide aku sambung ct abe blk kl dgn ank buah. Senin dia dah keje.

Last2 dpt cuti pulak dah. Duk ting tong2 nak tuka tiket tp aku hold dulu. Syg woo burn ratus gak + kena byr fee lg. Psycho2 sket, lastly jd la abe blk bersama kami..he..he..yeay! Sehari sblm tu aku cuti utk kms & settle apa yg patut.

Kul 5 bertolak dgn teksi ke LCCT. Terpaksa kejut Adnin yg br tdo. Sib baik ok masa siap2 kan dia tp ngamuk dlm kete on the way ke lcct tu. Hadoila! maybe tak puas tdo & tak dpt nak nyusu baring.Bila bg botol dia nak isap lak tp sambung ngamuk tak cukup sbb aku buh dlm 2oz je, spare nak bg time flight take of. Saba je la spjg perjlnn tu. Kjp2 ok bila pujuk2. Abah lak cool kat dpn cam takde perasaan..hohoho..(ampun..ngumpat he..he..) tp bila dah sampai ok lak dia. Dia mmg suka tgk org ramai. Kalau mcm nak meragam tu dukung je terus ok. Tak nyusu sampai naik flight.Lama gak tahan tu.Duk berkira2 nak g landing kat surau ke tak.

Masa nak take off tu sempat la nangis jap nak nyusu & tdo. sib baik hisap gak walau meronta2. dia mmg nyusu sambil tdo je kat umah.susahla bjln nak kena cari port utk landing..huhu..tdo perjlnn.
