Ni dah kali ke-5 Nayra tukar susu....

0-7 months : Frisolac Gold

7-12 months : Enfapro A+

12-13 months : Mamil Gold (shortlived cos Nayra had diarrhea at this stage due to Lactose Intollerant)

13-17 months : Isomil plus

17 months : Anmum Stage 3


Sebabnya? Anmum tiada gula tambahan..sangat sesuai untuk Cik Nayra yang ehem paham2 je la (geboos) Sila rujuk iklan Anmum untuk maklumat lanjut atau pun www.semakgula.com.my hehe

kita akan sentiasa mencari alternatif terbaik untuk anak2 kan...

Susu oh Susu Part 2

When Nayra reaches 12 months, i decided that it is time to change her milk according to her stage. But i was not in a hurry...Nayra's paed, Dr Roliza told me to slowly alternate between the old milk and the one that i am about to change..

As Nayra is taking Enfapro A+ at the time, so it was natural to turn to the same brand but with different stage..so we (Mr. B and i) bought Enfagrow A+. Nayra is not a picky milk drinker, she would drink any milk without hesitance before. This i know because i've tried 3 different milk brands on her, including Anmum, and she would drink as if nothing happens.

So it took me by surprise when she refuses Enfagrow A+....arghhh babiess!!! They are full of surprises. Next step.....switch to Mamil Gold. I admitted that i was a little influenced by the sales lady at the formula milk department in Giant. I was searching blankly for another brand for Nayra when she suggested this brand. According to her, this brand has "immunofortis" for a higher immune system (prevent/lessen cough, flu and fever) and it has 5 times DHA..

How come i didn't know of that, all this while i thought Enfa has the most DHA number in the baby's formula milk industry...so why wait? I grabbed a box for trial and Nayra drinks happily after that.....

Above: Switching to Enfapro to Enfagrow was a total disaster for Nayra

Next, came in the big challenge. After about 2-3 weeks consuming Mamil Gold, she was attacked with diarrhea. She pooped with liquid like waste all the time for almost a week. We called abg H to get free advice (lucky to have a brother-in-law who is a doc) and he suggested soy-based milk. This is because there are babies, who, after a period of time would face lactose-intolerant symptom as the intestines could no longer accept lactose in cow-based milk.

Nayra is quite lucky to face this only after she's 12 months old. Well, at least she gets the benefits of cow-based milk during the first year of her life. I couldn't help thinking that somehow soy-based milk is not as nutritional for infants as cow-based milk. Correct me if i'm wrong

Switching from Mamil Gold to Isomil Plus was surprisingly easy for Nayra

syamariz note:

Giving your baby formula milk is such an adventurous journey especially for new moms like me. You could end-up with 10 milk brands before your baby gives the thumbs-up sign, and hey it is not cheap. As usual, mothers would do anything as long as their babies are happy.

Right now, the cheapest place to buy Isomil Plus is at Giant (where every other milk brands is expensive). Itcosts around RM56++ compared to Tesco, Cold Storage and normal Kedai Runcit which starts at RM60 and above. Jaya Grocers come second cheapest after Giant for this particular brand (still less than RM60). I don't know for singseh shop (kedai ubat cina) though..

For Enfa and Mamil, the cheapest price is still Speedmart 99....also goes for baby diapers.

Susu oh susu..

Syamariz memang ada problem dgn production susu badan since nayra's birth...BM (breast milk) cuma keluar hari ke-4, itu pun setelah diurut dan di stimulasikan menggunakan breastpump..tapi production memang sikit, ada la dalam 2 sudu besar kot..it's pathetic i know...jadinya nayra memang dah disuap dengan formula since hari pertama lagi..

Wpun production BM syamariz alahai sikit..tapi tak pernah mengalah ok..dapat jugak la 3 bulan wpun tak ekslusif, hari2 pam kat ofis sampai ofismate naik kesian tengok production dalam botol tu, dapat la dlm purata 2oz..cuba macam2 cara tapi tak jalan sampai akhirnya amik ubat doc, production boom 3-4oz tapi menjunam semula bila ubat dah abis..cukup 3 bulan nayra dah start muak bila BF (breastfeed) so syamariz stop pumping lelama susu kering sendiri..

As DEMC was using Frisolac brand at the time of nayra's birth, to make things easy, i just continued with the brand at home. Jadi nayra memang membesar dgn debabnya thanks to Frisolac. After a while, i got bored using the brand..actually i wanted to try Enfa brand because of the DHA factor..kandungan DHA dia memang jauh lebih tinggi dari Frisolac. At 8 months now, i think it is the right time to switch to other quality brand. Now i'm not saying that Frisolac is not quality, after all..my baby has no major problem when consuming it. Lebih kepada ingin mencuba sesuatu yang baru..

Nak tukar bcos nak try susu mahal, nak susu yang 4x kandungan DHA dan kurang lemak..Alhamdulillah, nayra has no problem tukar susu at 8 months. Syamariz dapati Enfapro A+ ni teksturnya lebih halus dan berdebu, tetapi tidak berbau macam Frisolac wpun susu dah terbiar lama, pasal rasa no komen sebab tak pernah rasa dua2 brand itu (eiii tak lalu heheh)..

Susu lama (Frisolac Gold Stage 2) dan susu baru (Enfapro A+ Stage 2)

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!!

Hello everybody, would like to wish all of u Selamat Tahun Baru 2010 yeahhh..wpun dah 6 hb tapi tetapppp nak cakap gakk.... actually i was quite bz, didn't have the time to open up my lappy..ntah bz apa ntah, mostly because i have to return to work & off course with my baby.

I'm finding the time to write this entry cos its new year, and when its new year you ought to have new year resolutions, and when you have 'azam tahun baru' you will become motivated to welcome the new year & also continue your life journey, harap2 la segala azam yang dibina dapat di capai (wpun tak semua) :

1. Career/Personal Development :
-I need to be more punctual, taknak lewat2 ke opis sampai ada ink merah kat punchcard tu
- I intend to further study taking PhD course, prior to that need to catch up with latest information, so nak beli suratkhabar hari2..
- To at least write 1 journal/publication
- Be a more systematic & organized person at work..jangan tangguh kerja

2. Beauty, Health & Well-being :
- Exercise more...lari atas treadmill especially on weekends
- Control diet
- Eat vitamins regularly
- Become a vegan at least once a week (makan sayurmayur/fruits the whole day)
- Do my pedicure once a month
- Don't forget to use body lotion (skin tends to get drier with age)

3. Finance :
- Habiskan hutang cecepat...i want to clear my credit card debts, use it only when needed
- To save more..tanak boros sangat now that i have a baby to care for
- I dream of extending my kitchen, change the tiles & perform the haj before i'm 45..more $$$$

4. As a Mother :
- I want to continue breatfeeding Nayra as long as possible eventhough my breastmilk is not so productive...will never give up on giving her rights
- Being a mother is so tiring..must build up more stamina (exercise & vitamins)
- I want to ensure my son gets a better grade in his exams..must coach him more in his school work/studies
- Must remember to clean my face with make-up remover before using facial foam

Hmmm..orang kata jangan azam banyak sangat tapi tak tercapai, biasanya azam syamariz ni dok berulang setiap tahun hehe..bezanya tercapai atau tidak ajer, so i will double check again next year to see if any of the 'azams' above really succeeded, last year's 'azam' to become a mother is now a reality hehe..that one i likeeee

Tabung NSTP untuk bantuan Palestin

Tahun 2009 dah bermula, permulaan tahun ni rasanya kurang bermotivasi sikit..pertamanya bermula tahun ni, syamariz & geng2 sekerja (IPTA P & KK) dah start dgn pelaksanaan cuti 30 hati setahun yang mana sebelum ini, kami turut bercuti bersama pelajar. Pulak tu ada pulak opsyen cuti 25 hari setahun (bagi kakitangan awam yang baru takde choice)...mereka yang memilih opsyen cuti lebih pendek ni dgrnya diberikan ganjaran kewangan yang lebih bila pencen nanti (aduhaiiii lamanya nak tunggu pencen tu baru dapat merasa..tu pun kalo umur panjang)...so syamariz tetap la dgn cuti 30 hari tu....dgn paksarelanya

Mungkin bagi mereka yang dah biasa dgn isu cuti 30 hari (atau kurang/lebih) ni takde apa masalah...syamariz macam tak bersyukur pulak dah diberikan cuti kira cukup elok la tu...permasalahannya, kami ni sejak azali dah terbiasa bercuti ikut sistem semester (macam cikgu jugak ikut cuti penggal) yang memang sah2 lebih la dari 30 hari setahun tetiba kemudahan tu ditarik..cuba kalau geng cikgu2 yang tetiba pun kena ikut sistem cuti 30 hari ni..mesti melenting gaks, datang keje tapi pengisiannya kosong...students takde...setakat keje2 opis tu time student tak cuti pun leh buat

Pulak tu, nak amik cuti punye la susah, takleh nak amik sesuka hati..waktu kuliah berlangsung tak boleh nak amik cuti (kecuali emergency), cuma boleh amik bila students cuti..bayangkan kena berebut cuti dgn staff lain waktu tu nanti...so???? apa yang best sgt cuti kalau dah gitu gayanya? kalau waktu kuliah serentak dgn cuti sekolah for sure ramai parents nak cuti sekali, tapi tak boleh la cos ada kuliah...abis tu??? nak emergency? mc? lagi satu takkan nak amik straight seminggu dua macam waktu cuti semester..sapa nak bagi??? pro-rata pulak tu...

macam2 kekangan....tapi tetap "Saya yang menurut perintah" : (

permulaan tahun yang sangat tidak memotivasikan......

Yang kedua, kucing kesayanganku Michiko yang sakit macam Saiful aritu dah passed away on 6th January...hmmm...i've tried my very best this time (tukar food yang lebih nutritious, bagi vaccin, boarding kat vet bila blk kpg, tak bg kuar rumah sgt etc) tapi Tuhan lebih menyayanginya....pasrah la jawabnya, i'm gonna take a break for a while from adopting cats lepas ni, serik & sedih...

Dan yang ketiga....Syamariz pasti ketika ini umat Islam seluruh dunia turut merasai penderitaan yang dialami oleh saudara kita di Palestin, betapa hebatnya penyiksaan yang dilakukan oleh tentera Israel ke atas mereka, hancur luluh hati melihat anak2 kecil tidak berdosa bergelimpangan mayatnya ibarat nyawa tidak berharga..serta penduduk di sana yang ibarat menghitung waktu untuk meneruskan kehidupan

GERAMMMMMM..REGIM ZIONIS LAYAKNYA KE NERAKA..SEMOGA MEREKA & SEKUTU MEREKA DIBERIKAN BALASAN BERAT OLEH ALLAH SWT!!!!

Bagi yang prihatin dan ingin menderma, boleh la memberi sumbangan terus ke Tabung Palestin NSTP di no akaun Maybank : 514105320501 (seperti yang terpapar di kaca TV)

Menderma untuk membantu rakyat islam Palestin diiringi dengan doa untuk kesejahteraan mereka, itulah yang mampu dilakukan ketika ini...Anda juga boleh memboikot jenama barang2an yang bersekongkol dengan Israel (The Brands??? will blog in my next entry)

Hmmmm....permulaan 2009 yang agak mendung kan? Semoga ada sinar yang menanti di hadapan..maafkan syamariz atas coretan kali ini yang agak 'kurang bermaya'..

Abby vs Norman

Hmmm..sekarang ni isu artis/pelakon/bekas penyanyi Elite, Arbaieyah Abdul Manan dengan suami dia pelakon Norman Hakim tengah hot macam hot banana fritters (goreng pisang panas)..

Kemuncaknya, semalam almost all the papers kat Malaysia ni memaparkan pergolakan rumahtangga diorang dengan tajuk2 nak tarik perhatian seperti " Amukan Abby"..aduhhh apa nak jadi dengan this once happily married & loving couple...dulu kemana2 asyik pakai sedondon, kejap2 buat kenduri cukur jambul la, kenduri doa selamat la, besday party anak2, norman sambut baby marissa dania dalam kereta (masuk headline berita lagi 2-3 years back) etc etc..sedih pulak mengingatkan semua tu

Syamariz bernasib baik la di saat2 menghadapi ambang perpisahan dengan 1st husband dulu, tak siapa yang tahu..takde wartawan atau jurugambar serta masyarakat yang sentiasa dahagakan cerita sensasi yang mengganggu ketenteraman hidupku. Simpati pada Abby...terserlah sudah kesabarannya yang hampir goyah dengan sikap suami lantas tidak peduli lagi untuk berterus-terang dengan wartawan, yang kelakar akhbar Utusan siap memberikan dialog antara Abby dan Norman ketika mereka bersua untuk berbincang (atau berperang?)

Menjejakkan kaki ke Mahkamah Syariah sesungguhnya sangat memilukan...kalau ikutkan memang tak mahu lagi rasanya nak ke sana, seram sejuk tangan syamariz ketika masuk ke kamar bicara sekitar 2 tahun lepas..bertentang mata dengan tuan hakim untuk membicarakan masalah rumahtangga di hadapan khalayak di dalam kamar bicara adalah sangat2 menyedihkan, apatah lagi dengan prosedur2 penceraian yang sangat memeningkan kepala...cukuplah sudah deritaku ketika itu...

Alhamdulillah dengan berakhirnya derita itu, muncul jua sinar bahagia...tiada apa yang syamariz inginkan lagi di dunia ini hanya kebahagiaan hidup berkeluarga, tiada harta dunia yang mampu menandingi kebahagiaan hidup berkeluarga sebenarnya...walau sudah ada kereta, rumah dan sebagainya...hidup terasa kosong tanpa teman yang berkongsi kisah suka-duka kita, yang membuatkan kehadiran kita di sisinya rasa dihargai dan teman yang mampu kita merancang masa depan bersama...Sesungguhnya kisah penceraian ini mendatangkan trauma pada mereka yang penah melaluinya.

Berbalik pada kisah Abby-Norman, perasaan simpati yang hanya mampu diluahkan..lebih2 lagi pada Danish, Dania & Damisha, anak2 mereka yang masih terlalu kecil untuk mengerti apa2..semoga mereka dapat mencari jalan terbaik untuk selesaikan masalah.

p/s : Tengah sibuk2 citer pasal Abby tetiba terserempak dengan dia waktu nak gi lunch kat Giant Shah Alam tengahari semalam, rasa macam nak tercabut mata tengok dia..macam tak percaya pun ada, maklum la baru je cakap orangnya pun muncul...apa la dia buat kat situ ya, balik dari shooting kot..atau ke pejabat Karangkraf yang tak jauh dari situ...sibuk je syamariz ni kan...tiba2 jadik minah kepoh, anyway kite hargai privasi dia..cuma kerling jer, kalau tak dah capai kamera dalam hbag ni ajak gambar sama hehehe...

A gloomy season..

Its been raining these few days..pepetang ajer mesti hujan, kadang tu mandom ajer rasanya..the good part of it, the air is cold and windy..but to some people it could be nervewrecking, especially those who live in the flood infected area, for instance TTDI Jaya near my office...kalau hujan turun lebat & berpanjangan ajer mesti nervous takut banjir

Ni semalam nak balik keje...

ahhh..so gloomy...

Bukan setakat cuaca jer yang mendung tapi keadaan negara sekarang..bila baca paper or tengok berita ajer macam dilanda ketakutan dan kerisauan..

• Teresa Kok nak saman Utusan, Utusan nak saman Teresa??? (what the....what is wrong with this woman?)
• Isu perkauman yang semakin banyak ditimbulkan..semakin ramai yang berani bersuara kini tentang ketidakpuasan hati, kenapa tidak di zaman pemimpin terdahulu?? Datuk Seri..please do something
• Nak bunuh orang sekarang cukup mudah..bom & tembak dari jarak dekat sudah kedengaran tidak asing lagi..itu yang bunuh orang, belum masuk kes bunuh diri lagi..
• Kes rasuah yang cukup memalukan...how can u gain respect from others if the leader themselves shows humiliating examples...setiap hari ada ajer yang kena tangkap makan sogok!
• Madonna nak bercerai? AR Badul pun nak join? (isu tempelan hehe)
• Yang ok sikit..harga minyak dah turun...harga barang keperluan bila lagi, taknak join jer?

Hmmmm...enough for now..hope there's sunshine brightening up our spirits soon...

7 Steps to Weight Loss

7 STEPS TO WEIGHT LOSS

By Michael O'Shea (http://www.parade.com/)
Published: January 13, 2008



1. BUY A SCALE
To change your body, you need to know where you stand. A recent study by Brown University Medical School showed that daily weigh-ins are key. Place your scale on a flat, uncarpeted surface and weigh yourself at the same time every day. (First thing in the morning is best.) Use the number as a way to track your progress. A realistic goal is a weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds a week.



2. CLEAN OUT YOUR CUPBOARDS
Toss all those naughty little goodies that might prove too tempting when you’re tired or hungry. Or put them at the back of the cupboard or refrigerator so you won’t be faced with them every time you open the door. And divide large bags of snacks into single-portion baggies or buy prepackaged 100-calorie options.



3. KEEP A JOURNAL
Write down your weight each day, plus everything you eat. You’re the only one who has to see this—so be honest. Estimate the calories of each entry as you write it down. (Find out the number of calories in everything you eat. Visit nutritiondata.com.)



4. TELL EVERYONE
Sit your family down and tell them your goals. Be clear that losing weight is important to you and that you would appreciate their support. A weight-loss buddy also can improve your chances of success. If you don’t know anyone who fits the bill, consider joining an online support group.



5. EAT SEVERAL SMALL MEALS A DAY
It’s natural to be a little hungry during the first few days of any diet. Remind yourself that it is just a physical sensation, and you can handle it. Still, any diet that leaves you hungry all the time will lead to overeating. Many people find that having five or six small meals a day works best for them.



6. GIVE YOURSELF TREATS
If you deprive yourself endlessly, you’ll end up going on a world-class binge at some point. Consider adding a treat to your daily or weekly plan, but pay attention to portion size and calorie count. A 1/2 cup of low-fat ice cream or three pieces of chocolate can work as long as you limit yourself to that.



7. START AN EXERCISE PLAN
Besides burning calories, exercise also builds muscle and boosts your metabolism as you progress. One of the best things you can do is walk. Invest in a pedometer and aim for a goal of 10,000 steps or more a day. It’s the only number you want to see go up, up, up!



Syamariz note:
Sajer nak share article kat atas..very easy steps to follow & its not that hard or complicated. I hate it when they tell u to drop everything off & start things immediately. Nak2 pulak menu diet yang the very the complicated, malah lebih mahal dari menu2 yang biasa kita ambik..not to mention that Atkins diet, or the whatsoever diet that hollywood celebrities are doing..yeahhh easy for them, having thier own nutritionist & personal trainer...errr...as for me, i still have that cholesterol issue to battle and seeing things now, i'm sure i'm gonna fail miserably..with all the eating plus coffee...better start analyzing the above steps NOW!!!
