Reyza loves to mamam!!!!

Reyza just turned 6 moths about 2 weeks ago, and he started on his solid food. Kesian dia coz kalau abah, mama and grandparents dia makan, reyza asyik tengok je menung. well now Reyza can finally join the club of solid food eaters (although its actually a mushy textured solid food haha)

Iklan baby food:













*mamam pun mata kena tengok kamera???














* "Aeroplane...mau landing masuk gua...over..."














*mmmm sedapnya....

Some advice for parents who are starting on solids,

1. It takes awhile for them to get adjusted to it, some purging is expected as the digestive system is warming up.
2. Let them try different flavours.
3. They love the airplane entering the cave routine haha

Member's Day Sale.

Oct 22, Jusco OU Member's Day Sale. I took leave in advance just in case my MIL wants to go. I thot probably, I could just take care of Reyza on that day. The night before, my MIL says she might not want to go as she has nothing to buy. I pun, alright. Morning-morning, as I sent Reyza to his grandma's and I thot I could go survey the sale myself. My MIL ask" Naz, Jusco , bukak pukul berapa?". "8, Ma". "Ye, ke?, Jum siap now, we go now". I'm like "Reyza, camna. Takkan tak mandi?" "Takpe, dia baby lagi, we just go first" said my MIL. That was like 730am. Bersemangat.Heheheh.. She's fickly funny. Summore she wants to bring her grandson along. Kena la ikut sekali.

Sale! Sale! Beli Semua! Buy! Buy!

The sale nuthin much. I just wanted to find out the cost for the walker. Its 30% off for members, amatlah menarik. Survey jugak harga mamypoko . (RM47.50, termurah as at Oct 22). Reyza was enjoyin his people watching wit me. Mind you, his excited to go to new places and see people running around. Tapi, bringing a baby or kids to a sale, sangat lah tidak digalakkan. I know a lot of parents have to bring their kids along probably due no baby sitter. Tapi , sangatlah kesian tengok anak itu diletak dalam trolley (kalau sorang , takpe). My entry here is not about the sale.

Its on grandparents.



I saw a lot of grandparents tagged along during the sale. Diaorang nie, Im not sure la wether they were excited to be there or wat. But I assume, they were drag there to jaga 'barang' or anak. The bench i was sitting on while waiting for my MIL was full with nenek & atuk. Semua either, pegang trolley or pegang cucu. Kesian... or ??


Saper tak mandi, angkat tangan!


IMHO , I would rather have my kids stay at home or I wouldnt have bother to go to a sale if it does not permits me to go. I wouldnt want to menyusahkan orang tua saya. Mungkin diaorang suka, tapi i saw this Chinese grandpa macam nak pengsan (jusco sesak and sempit). Shouldnt we as kids be considerate towards our parents? Murah sangat ke sale itu sampai nak kena bawak 'extra' orang nak jadi tukang jaga. The sale was full with adults, kids, baby, maids, etc. I think some parents even let their children to cut school for the day. Reason? Tolong jaga barang. (Yes , I heard 2-3 girls who had bumped into each other).


Adekah gila-gila sale di Malaysia, merosakkan etika kita ? Renungkanlah.....


(Mengapa entri start english ends Malay?. Tibai je la for today)

Changing bottles.

After procastinating for to long , plus considering wether I have enuff budget to buy new sets of feeding bottle. Hubbs & me finally made our way to OU, Jusco last night to grab some BPA- Free bottles.I knew about this issue after I have finish my confinement.

However, at that time I have already bought several 4oz bottles to be used by Reyza. And now, since these bottles have shown some deterioration signs, I have to buy new bottles to replace the old ones. But in Malaysia, the selection itself is so limited. The nice looking ones cost a bomb for just one bottle! Mak takda duit. I mean, its for the best health for our kids but I think we should at least find other alternatives which suits our pocket. Takkan nak berhutang demi botol susu?

Botol yang telah dipencenkan

For those unfamiliar with BPA. A glossary from SafeMama - Bisphenol-A (Bis-fen-ol) - Bisphenol A (BPA) is a hormone-mimicking chemical used in polycarbonate plastic resins, epoxy resins, and other products. It is most commonly used in baby bottles or any type of hard shatterproof plastic containers. It is also found in the lining of canned goods, plastic wrap and other household plastics. Bisphenol has estrogenic properties which, in animal tests has shown to cause a bevy of health problems such as an increase in prostate and breast cancer, uro-genital abnormalities in male babies, a decline in semen quality in men, early onset of puberty in girls, metabolic disorders including insulin-resistant (Type 2) diabetes and obesity and neurobehavioral problems such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Research is showing that when plastic containers, mostly those used to hold liquids and foods, are leeching Bisphenol into the foods and liquids they are holding. Heating food and liquids with these plastics is shown to increase the leeching of this contaminate.

Malaysian made BPA-Free bottles are already available on the shelves by Pureen. Design dia, so-so. If you wanna know how it looks like, look here

But last wednesday after browsing tru several brands of bottles I finally found this. This actually looks plain but I like. Ia nampak 'bersih' & 'simple. Plus, it fits my budget. If you wanna know more about BPA, go read here.

This year was Reyza's first Hari Raya, and reyza went to many places. Mama and Abah took reyza to Tok Di and Tok Mi's house early in the morning, later we wentt and fetched Tok Ki and Wanani at KLIA. by the end of the 5th day of Raya, Reyza has been from Gombak and all the way to Nilai visiting his other grand uncles and aunties.
