Baby Arman Dani

Salam mommies. Today's post is related to a beautiful baby bos, Baby Arman Dani. Baby Arman has made an everlasting impression on my life, although we have not personally met, or even talk to him or with any of the family members for that matter. But yes, I've been following his mommy's IG since nearly 2 months ago. Her IG id is ladyofleisure2101. 

Baby Arman Dani has been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. I followed this IG to get updates from his mommy on his conditions. 

I asked my hubs on day to accompany me to the hospital to donate blood to him during this coming school break. Because during this time my mama & sisters will be staying at my house for a while, and they'll be able to take care of Adellia while my husband & I will go and visit baby Arman Dani. Plus, I will not have to bring Adellia to the hospital while I'm donating my blood.

We did not manage to pay baby Arman a visit and it broke my heart to know that Baby Arman was no longer with us. No mother would want such thing to happen to their child. I am praying for his mommy to stay strong as he is in a better place and he is no longer in pain. 

Baby Arman Dani, doa for your mama sayang. Semoga bertemu di Syurga. Al-Fatihah.

In Kedah, baby!

Papa, Mama, Adellia & Tok Babah has just arrived from KL. We are taking a break for the weekend and looking forward for an awesome holiday with aunty2, Tok Mama, Tok Babah, Winnieboy & Ahjupaw.

Tomorrow's plan. Visit Mak Cik Ani for 1 session of mengurut for mama & Adellia. Then perhaps we'll stop by kedai sup perut as well!!!

It is 2.18am in the morning. Adellia has just sleep. Still coughing, unfortunately. Her body temperature at 7.30pm was 38.0°… We will definitely drop by PPUM once we got back to KL to check on Adellia's condition. It has been 2 weeks. Hope this is only a normal flu. Not pneumonia.

I'll keep updated. InsyaAllah

Homemade Chicken Stock - Fishy Style

Salam mommies! Sooooooo... Can you spot the fish? Haha. Entry harini berkenaan dengan healthy food for your baby. Malangnya saya tak sempat nak snap gambar untuk chicken stock yang saya dah freeze kan haritu. Still in the freezer, I'll go and take a snap later nanti, InsyaAllah. 

Homemade chicken stock is very convenient for busy mommies especially and yet healthy to your baby. 

Plan to cook chicken porridge? Pop in few chicken cube inside, and yeah! The food became tasty. Plan to cook meat porridge? Yeahhhhh. You figured. Hence, I am sharing my recipe for my version of chicken stock. 

Ingredients:

1 kg raw chicken carcasses, legs or wings chopped

½ head garlic, chopped or bashed

3 sticks celery, roughly chopped

2 medium leeks, roughly chopped

2 medium onions, roughly chopped

1 large carrots, roughly chopped

water

How to cook?

1-  Place the chicken carcasses, garlic & vegetables in a large, deep-bottomed pan. 

2-  Add the water and bring to the boil

3-  Skim & turn the heat down to a simmer. 

4- Continue to simmer for 3-4 hours & skimming as necessary

5- Let it cool for 1 hour (at least) before refrigerate.

FYI, mommies! The stock lasts for 4 days in fridge and 2-3 months in freezer. I have mine put in freezer in ice cube tray. You may put it in IKEA's cute ice cube tray as below.

Mom's Love Good for Child's Brain

Salam Mommies! Nampak tak hasil scan otak kat bawah? Menurut kajian neurologists, kasih sayang daripada ibu mempengaruhi dan memberi impak yang besar terhadap pertumbuhan otak bayi. How's that? (:

Kedua-dua imej ini adalah imbasan otak yang diambil daripada dua kanak-kanak yang berusia 3 tahun. Imej otak disebelah kiri adalah jauh lebih besar dan mempunyai sedikit sahaja kawasan gelap berbanding dengan imej otak sebelah kanan. 

Kajian yang dijalankan menunjukkan bahawa otak bayi dipengaruhi oleh jumlah kasih sayang yang diterima olehnya, terutamanya oleh ibu. Jadi maknanya, kanak-kanak/bayi yang sering diabaikan dan tak mendapat kasih sayang yang secukupnya akan menyebabkan otak mereka menjadi lebih kecil (rujuk imej sebelah kanan). 

Contohnya, apabila bayi menangis meminta susu/comfort, sebenarnya mereka sedang mengukuhkan laluan neuron (strengthening the neuronal pathways) dimana ianya membantu kanak-kanak belajar bagaimana untuk belajar dan mendapatkan apa yang diperlukan, termasuklah dari segi fizikal & emosi. 

Otak bayi adalah lebih kecil jika bayi tersebut seingkali diabaikan menyebabkan gangguan emosi dan semestinya akan memberi kesan kepada perkembangan kanak-kanak. Pernah tengok those documentaries di Astro channel CI? Kebanyakkan kanak-kanak yang sering didera atau diabaikan akan memberi kesan yang tak elok kepada kehidupan kanak-kanak tersebut or till they become adult. Most likely the child with smaller brain will be more likely to involved in crimes, addicted to drugs or more likely to be unemployed. 

Thus, jom lah kita sama-sama pay attention to our kids. Hear what they want to say, response, love & nurture them, give good example. (Mental note to me as well). Be a good mama, be a good papa and insyaAllah dengan doa dan tawakkal semoga anak-anak kita jadi anak yang soleh & solehah. 

Adellia, sayang. Be a good girl. I know you are a smart kid & papa will give you the trading class. I bet he can't wait. As soon as you can talk & can understand us, I guarantee papa will start give you the lesson. Haha. No harm if you could get extra money for yourself. Also, sayang. Mama doa kepada Allah supaya Adellia sentiasa dijumpakan dengan orang-orang yang betul dalam hidup Adellia. Those who can actually lead you to be a better you, a better me. InsyaAllah. 

Soooo....... Tonight, lets have a round of flash card learning session. We are aiming for bigger brain!! Weehoooooooooo!
