Every marriage must end up with generation. Nobody deny for that because a child will make us a shine of protracted happiness. Of course, I'm the who wish to have a happy and loving family before I end up my live with death. For this series of my post,I would like to attract many attention on how we raise our children will determine how shape they will be for the next 20/30 years from now. Everything is in our own hands.
I believe that everyone has their own style of raising their biological child. They may have referred many experts from books,people or anything or anyone. Thay have done the best just only to see their heir is one of the best among the best. In easy word, theirs is intelligent and competitive!! That's why,a new couple who has granted a child from Allah is seen happy never ending. This is because,a child means everything that never been described by words. Only they feel but not others. The situation goes to me for the first time I entitled "Abah".
In addition, nobody is willing to bear risk from any dangers to harm their heirs. That's the fact! Recently,we heard or read from newspapers about a child was kidnapped and to be sold over the border of Thailand. It was terrible / horrible news that actually haunted many parents to take the best care of their children. I prayed to Allah to put all that disaster far away from me and the people around me. May Allah listened,Allah wills!
Ohh,before I bubbling around with no ending. And without further ado, the point of this post is all about how we're raising our little laling named Nur Syifa. She is the one who we love the most. As I storied for my first post,my daughter was born premature. She was born 7 months or 2 months less. I noticed that her mum has been taking the best care for all these while until how is she now. Her mum prepared various porridges just to make sure laling receive only the best service ever.
Laling experienced to have breastfeeding only several times but I didn't think she drink well. It was due to her condition with premature birth. I noticed with the small mouth,she couldn't be able to have the fresh milk as well. As I knew,she drink breast milk only by using tube. She was in incubator for two months in NICU at Putrajaya Hospital. With many wires injected inside her skin,how she could be able to be normal as other babies. Only two months she tastes the fresh milk from her "Ibu" and after that she has been drinking formulated milk until today. For the first 9th month, we used premature formulated milk "Similac Prem" and "Novalac". After about 5 months using that types of milk,we changed to Anmum formulated milk until today. From the first stage and now the third stage. She was comfortable with that type. So,we had no problem and keep buying the same type every month. As of I noticed,she's active and the one I like about her is her desire to explore. I can say,she is the new of the series "Dora the explorer". Ha3!! Everything she sees,the things are her experiment tools. Seriously,she likes to know everything or the curiosity is very high. I think it's good for a child in the process of growth. One more thing,she like to imitate what others did and I think it's normal for a child in same age with her. Meaning to says,the growth is nice to be seen.
In part of apparels, I pass to her "Ibu" to buy what clothes suit to her. I just acted as a banker who draw money then her "ibu" acted as shopper. Ok, if we're talking about pampers / napkins, I believe that every parents have their choice to make sure their child stay comfort with no skin irritation. I once bought "Drypers" but laling was not comfort and the skin irritation appeared with red spots on the skin inside. That type was not suitable at all. Then, her "ibu" started to search what types are the best, with the understanding of "try and error" and finally we decided that "Huggies" was the best brand for Syifa. This brand made from soft material inside so that it was not affect soft skin and again the materials used are long lasting in term of wet. It was different with other brands that easy and faster to get wet after used only several hours. Then,the brand has been our choice since laling was a baby until now. I do trust "Huggies" and I recommend everyone to buy this product because the best quality was there.
Why toys are suit for baby? Ha3, what is that question..a baby,she/he has no activities as an adult. Surely they need something to play around and of course to explore something new. Their world started with what they see and react from that. That's because, a baby eager to imitate what others did. They saw quietly then they copy before they interpret through actions. Great!! So let them explore and let them to be a real explorer at themself because it is the called learning process. I bought many toys but my preferences are colourful toys and they (toys) must be useful in generating IQ and EQ. You may refer what type of toys I have bought special to laling. For me toys included books with colourful and musical books to stimulate her action upon something. I bought several musical books with interesting music, she respond with the sounds. One of the best-referred is "Ding Dong Elmo's Here!" From Sesame Street. She laling responded with the sounds because the sounds demonstrated what the story all about. The other book also played same role. I saw laling's development I smiled widely means happy!
As laling's development seen clearly,we decided to buy book rack and bag. I just ask her to take books and bring them to me to read,she nodded and move to the book rack. The bag also included when I ask her to take bag and put some books inside together with a bottle of milk. She obeyed! I believe that,everything would be simple if it was beyond habits. Moreover,we as parents should instill the habit of reading. I myself bougt many books and I read together with her so that she sees the habit.
I know that environment plays very important role to stimulate IQ and EQ for a child. So,I decided to send her to TASKA so that she will be a part of community in children's world. When her age reach 1 year 7 months,she will react with environment together with her friends. I believe that to achieve happiness in life requires two types of relations so called a relation to The Creator and a relation to people. So,the two types are trying to be installed inside her mind. Allah wills! In part of perform solah,I did in front of her so that se observes every times. The sustain observation would result great effect inside her soul. The spiritual concern is very important to her at this age. I beliave that we as parents want the best for our children in the world and aslo af course hereafter.
I end up my story all about my family here. The next series will follow behind. Actually I do have a lot of stories about laling but I don't know which part I missed! It's ok,next series will follow for the second post at the same title "Our Child Is Our Responsibility (1)"
