Tasneem @ 4 months
May 6, 2008 — lovelyummiSorry for the long silence.. Ummi bz la, clichë reason kan??
Err anyway..anyone missing the little princess? heeehee :8
Anyway, she is 4 months now. Makin besar, makin panjang, makin banyak main. . Aduhaii princess ummi & abi ni, makin banyak akal sekarang.
Last week we travelled from seremban. Although the cost of travelling was sky rocketting, tapi sebab Tasneem was safe and secured in the hand of her wan & atuk, ummi and abi pejam mata aje laaa..especially bile kat petrol station and mase nak top-up touch n go. The payback was indeed very satisfying; pipi Tasneem dah nampak tembam sikit!! Ahaa..mana taknya, wan sentiasa enjut buaian kalau Tasneem tido. Memang lena lah budak kecik tu tido.
On the low side, kesian jugak dgn Tasneem. First time Tasneem kena tinggal lama dgn ummi. We left her at 7.30am and only come back home 8pm the earliest. On the 1st day, she waited for us (ummi particularly) and refused to sleep. According to my mum, she didnt cry though. Only when she saw or maybe smell ummi she started to cry. After dapat nenen for only like 5 min terus lelap. Aduhai kesian nya..
But thats was last week, now the bbsitter is fine and fit to take care of little Tasneem and yeay, no more travelling (and habis duit & time on the road) for us.
Now, a little bit of her milestone or updates:
- According to her bbsitter, she meniarap today tapi x reti nak turn over balik resulting in menangis meminta tolong.
- Very playful and smiles a lot too.
- Since she plays a lot and more aware of her environment, she’s playful while nursing too. Kejap aje bf-ing with ummi, kalau abi borak dgn ummi mmg dia distracted. Kadang tu kena masuk dalam bilik baru dia concentrate to nurse.
- She is now in the making of an expert in nursing. Likes to latch and unlatch herself and sometimes resulting in a milky-pour-over her face when she unlatched herself during the ‘let-down reflex’ is on progress.

cheeky little Tasneem
*****************
Since it has been a very heaty days currently, Tasneem developed a pretty ugly rashes on her cheeks and bumbum. She always scratching in her sleep sampaikan calar balar muka. I assumed that she had mixed infection on both areas. Ruam susu + heat rashes on her cheek and nappy rashes + yeast infection on her bumbum. All this while ummi just applied hydrocort cream on those area but I guess it didnt really work. It was a sight that ummi can not stand lantas ummi bawak Tasneem jumpa doktor. She prescribed Econazine cream; anti-inflammary and anti-fungal cream and yet another hydrocort cream. She also advised ummi to carefully watch my food intake especially those allergic-trigger foods like eggs, chicken, prawns etc in which ummi should try to avoid. Hmm.. blame it on ummi lah because she inherited a sensitive skin; prone to have eczematous reaction.
Anyway, after a few time applying the Econazine cream, the ugly rashes on her cheeks and bumbum dissappeared!! Now muka anak ku kembali cerah dan licin seperti biasa. TAPI, on the bad side those cream menyebabkan muka Tasneem a bit kering. Takpelah, kena lah rajin sikit apply lotion over and over.
Now, ummi nak mengadu kat mommies sume yang production susu tgh merudum lah. I know that the milk production mmg ada pasang surut nya, but now mmg tgh crisis giler ni. Tasneem drinks 20oz now and ummi can only produce 12-15oz perday. So I have to increase my pumping session IMMEDIATELY, kalau tak mmg confirm x leh nak catch-up with the demand. Now, I’m trying not to get panic. All because of my little girl, today pukul 4pagi ummi dah terjaga and x boleh tido, terus bangun and pump. Dapatlah 2.5oz. Campur dgn semalam 2oz jadi 4.5oz. Total up yesterday’s collection : 4oz + 7 oz + 2oz + 2.5oz = 15.5oz. Kena guna back-up stock to top-up jadik 20oz.
:tarik napas:hembus napas:tarik napas:hembus napas: jangan panic.jangan panic.
InsyAllah………everything will be fine.
Or maybe I should tell Tasneem not to drink so much today?

errr… mcm mana nak advise pasal production susu ek?? sbb i pun mengalami benda yg sama…
anyway, ayat clichë.. jgn tension2.. insya allah production akan increase… drink A LOT OF PLAIN WATER….
n kalau boleh try to avoid not to miss ur pumping session… dlm kes i, bila i miss, next session bukannye byk pun collectionnye…
n i think u boleh ‘ckp’ dgn tasneem no to drink so much this few days… ‘ckp’ dgn dia, dia leh drink ur milk byk2 during nite time… that’s what i did to ryan.. n entah mcm mana, dia mcm paham je.. he he
**itula..ayat cliche: DONT PANIC. but its true, mase i panic susu lg sikit..bile dah nagis bagai and rasa cool sket, the next morning production up sket la…

on milk production, i recently had the same problem and came to a point where i depleted my freezer stash! but now dah penuh balik =) here’s what i did;
1. send in for Adam only what i can pump the day before. even if tak cukup. i bagi same amount of bottles tapi kurang amoung susu didlmnya. contoh; if normally 4 botol with 4oz each (total 16oz) then bila susu merundum boleh pump 12 oz saja, i bagi 4 botol with 3oz each. and i tell adam you can eat more when mommy’s home ok..
2. i mkn fenugreek capsules. u can get at GNC. alhamdulillah normal pumping outputs pun increase each pumping session.
3. extra pumping sessions at night. kene celikkan jugak mata sbb waktu2 dinihari ni susu byk…
4. pump jugak waktu weekend
goodluck to you…insyaAllah u can do it!
**tq for the tips.. i told tasneem too supaya jgn minum byk2 kt bbsitter but can drink more when ummi’s back from work..i didnt take fenugreek but i drink dried longan. mb i shud try to take the pill..tq aida! **
