... baby wearing

Assalamualaikum....

Mama A has given in to a sling! *lol* Well- actually, I planned to buy it when Baby.I was just 4 months old then again I wasn't that confident on baby-wearing and his sleeping routine was still on a pillow, i.e berlenggang. Then we moved on to cuddling him while standing (tapi as he grows inda tahan cos he's getting heavier each day) but somehow lately, probably started two months ago when I realised I was preggo.. Baby.I prefers to sleep on a sling! *oh noes* 

The hand-me-downs didn't fit my body (fixed size)... + Baby.I seems uncomfy everytime I wear him. So my other option was ring sling. Yes I did buy this masa Baby.I damit but inda lama pakai pasal, not confident and when my maid used them, the rings patah... good thing for fast reflex action, mun inda eeeee na'uzubillah~ So traumatised were both me and hubs that we promised ourselves to try and get Baby.I to sleep by just carrying and cuddling him ONLY to give in to slings with strong support if the attempt come to a failure (which is now...) 

So last weekend, after attending a friend's wedding... bought theBabaSling @ Wrap-In-A-Box. Hehe, mothercare(tm) sells this too at the same price but I just want to gather my receipts @ WIAB so that I can be the privilege member. After all, they're selling Charlie Bananas CDs now.... with all the accessories wheeeeeee!! Iskiness much~~

Anyhoots, eversince buying the sling... I couldn't be even more happier + confident pasal Baby.I enjoys sleeping while worn by his Mama.. pandai jua ya request if he kan sleep besling, there are moments when he simply crawls up to me while dragging the sling minta kena dodoikan.. sweet kaaaannnn??? *sniffs*

P/S : Another sweet moment yesterday was when both Hubs and I arrived home after work.. Baby.I lintasi saja Babahnya just to greet me... mother-child bond? INDEED!! Jeles tarus Babahnya hehehehe sorry love!

... something worth sharing

Yesterday was a busy afternoon for dearest me (and the maid), good thing I had help. Baby.I’s food ran out and I mean, habis!!! So yeah, had to do emergency shopping for all of the ingredients straight after work. Nasib lah tempat membali barang-barang ani not that far off AND it’s school holiday (so less traffic)I decided to prepare chicken puree for this week’s introductory menu. An addition to his usual vegetarian menu. Been feeding him variety of steamed veggies since day 1 of weaning.

So there I was, walking down the shopping aisle @ Supa Save while imagining apa saja kan di campurkan with the chicken since I planned to cook the chicken …. Asian style! Simply using this motherly instinct and taste buds. Verdict : loooooving it and worth to try!!! If Mamanya kenyamanan, obviously the baby will kan?~

Recipe for my Chicken Butternut :

- Olive oil

- Mince chicken

- Garlic (blended)

- Butternut (cut into pieces)

- Long beans (optional)

- Carrots (optional)

- Water

How ?

 Heat the olive oil on a cooking pan / pot with garlic. Add in the mince chicken until it whitens. Add in butternut and water to boil. Be sure to add just the right amount of water, because you don’t want your puree to be too watery. Once the butternut is soft and tender, i.e easily squashed, leave to cool and blend to make the utmost delicious chicken butternut puree for your little one. Can be eaten on its own or with rice porridge.Didn’t expect the outcome would be that nice… Alhamdulillah~ even Mr.A came right into the kitchen bertanyakan me masak apa? *lol* I am so thankful for that..

Baby. I menu for this week will be :

Breakfast : fruit puree + oats

Lunch : rice porridge + chicken butternut OR steam mixed veggies (broccoli, long beans, carrots and cauliflower)

Afternoon : fruit puree ….. all served with plain water, with fm fed in between meals every nap time. He is still feeding 2-3x during night time.... 4x during the day, so I'm not the least worried with his milk intake. Masih enough... Alhamdulillah~

Until the next entry peeps... I leave you all with I must say.. the latest crazed tv drama OST.. Muara Hati - Hafiz feat. Dato' Siti Nurhaliza
