Let's go natural with Olive baby range products..

Since baby until now, Adam still have problem with his skin. Too sensitive until we have to ensure all products he used, specially the body wash, shampoo or even the detergent used to wash his clothes also must  be either medicated or from natural source. When we controlled all sort of products which directly contact to his skin, at least we able to reduce the scars and even scratching at nights due to itchiness and discomfort.      

Ever since then, and after I gave birth to lil boy Ryan, I started to fall in love with organic/ natural stuffs. *lucky that Ryan's skin not sensitive as Adam* When I start seeing new booth of theSkintopic, a natural stuffs for body & skin care at Subang Parade, I was so happy and eager to know about the product too. More happier, when I received email for product trial from theSkintopic. Waaaa..tell you I was super duper excited! *u know kan, natural product never be cheap one uhuk!!*

Yes, they sent me 2 products from Olive baby range.

Weeeee....tq so much =)

Lil bit info about theSkintopic. This brand carries 2 main products which are olive (extract of extra virgin olive oil) while another is tebe (extract of olive leaf). As you see, the main source of this brand are from the extract of olives.*I love olive so much yumsss =)* So the Olive Baby range of skin care products (which one of 3 ranges under olive products)  is all natural and gentle for baby's skin. All of the products contain own extra virgin olive oil from Simunovich Olive Estate in Auckland, New Zealand – an ingredient which has been used for centuries in the Mediterranean as a beauty treatment and an overall remedy for the skin. *I like*

Baby hair & body wash..

A mild, gentle hair and body wash that cleanses, moisturises and conditionsbaby's skin and hair. Containing a nutrient-rich, hydrating blend of natural ingredients, it is suitably gentle for daily use.

Baby massage oil..

Olive baby massage oil moisturises your infant’s skin and helps to protect it from dryness. The luxurious blend of almond oil, jojoba oil and extra virgin olive oil has been carefully chosen for its hydrating and, nourishing properties.

After read the descriptions of the products, I can't wait to give a try. Specially to Adam because lately I found his skin a little bit dry. I guess maybe because they sharing the shower gel at school *eventho I already supplied with a medicated one =(* After 2 weeks trying the body wash and oil massage, I can see some improvements on his skins. In fact, we decided not to use powder anymore and start using the oil massage to him. Its working, Alhamdulillah. Will use it more frequent and hope to see more improvements after this. Yeap, the body wash and oil massage smell so good, natural smell of olives. Love it. While the oil massage is suit to use to the infants as well. Other than the natural ingredients inside, the warmness when we rubbed on palms surely can calming the lil babies. As we know that baby/infant massage are so important specially at early of months after delivery to enhance baby development and comfort the babies too. Will give try to my newborn niece too,InsyaAllah.

Nice  smell of body wash. Thumbs up!

After bath, apply the olive oil massage to the whole body...

Sakan dia duk posing plak..hiks!

Helping mommy to read out the product description too...weee!!!

Other than baby hair & body wash and baby oil massage, there are few more products under Olive baby range. I'm currently eyeing their baby moisture milk which contain additional of Vitamin E to help to protect the babyskin. Hopefully it works to reduce and repair the scars at Adam's legs and back. *his fave scratching areas*

Doctor in the house...

There's nothing worrying me more when the kiddos not feeling well. It's more worrying when the mommy who supposed to handle and take care the unwell kids, sometimes so bz at work or worst when the balance annual leave in the AL bank at warning level. Pity lil' kiddos. For my case, after many experiences with Adam, dealing with fever, flu, cough up until acute bronchitis, croup, HFM etc etc, I have set my own limit every time the kids fall sick. To be honest, I'm sick of visiting the clinic/hospital, waiting for many hours, end up with the same meds * to be honest, 2 years in the row, I have -ve AL in the leave bank*. So for this year, I've set the limit and applied to my kids, Alhamdulillah, it works well and Ryan only admit once *tu pun I yg request* and Adam seldom fall sick this year *or maybe sebab dia dah besar and sistem immunization dia dah kuat* Alhamdulillah.

What I did, which I think most of the parents did the same things as well. Most of the common medicines for fever, flu, and cough, we ensure to have stock in our fridge. So, when the kids started showing a sign of illness, I tried to ensure to give them meds at  home with fully monitoring on the symptoms showed. After few days, if they do not show any improvement, we will immediately see the physician for detail check up. Like last 2 weekends, Ryan woke up on his 20th b'day month with mild fever, flu and cough. The barking cough sound really make me worried. I try to fully utilized the weekend at home by ensuring schedule meds intake. I gave PCM for fever *it's around 37.6 degC fever*, Atarax for flu and Ventolin plus Mucoflux *ubat cair kahak* for cough. Regular intake for 2-3 times per day and Alhamdulillah, on Monday, no more fever only flu and cough left. These 2 combo were not easy things to be cured specially when the kids at nursery also having flu and cough as well. I should blame on the current weather now, petang je mesti hujan lebat. Ramai yg jatuh sakit. Worst when mommy also having bad cough and flu as well *tepok dahi* After more than 10 days, the cough is still there. So I've started with Rhinathiol since its normal cough already and Mucoflux as well. 3-4 days ago, Ryan found to have watery stool, 2-3 times daily. I put him under yellow flag, if he starts to vomit or, more than 5 times poopoo, or don't want to eat or bf, straight away send to DEMC. Fortunately, he showed good sign of eating and drink alot of water and bf as well. It just that I started to see some rashes near the nappy line area. Alhamdulillah, the rashes gone after 2,3 times apply of nappy rash cream. Yesterday, we went to DEMC to send my dad for check up, I took chance to check Ryan as well. Alhamdulillah, just a normal cough, no wheezing or chesty lung. And the watery stool as doc said due to the mucus/phlegm he used to swallow and went to the stool. *owh, baru tahu* So now we just continue with the same meds.

Sterimar for block or running nose also helping me alot specially during night time..

All I need now is the stethoscope so I can check their lung as well. Hahahaha..yg ada elmo punye je ;)

It's good things also to learn thru my friend's or bloggers friend entries on how they handle their sick child. Like for example, info shared by miszy_anne on how to handle the high grade temperature, really an eye  opener. Thanks for the heads up babe! I seldom faced this hi grade temperature until the last admittance of Ryan in September due to prolong and high grade fever. On the first 3 days, I kept giving PCM for every 4 hours, sponging and when the temperature went to above 38.5 ~ 39 degC, I will started on Veron *ubat cucuk vontot*. Its worrying us in the beginning on how to give PCM and Veron at the same time and up to how many times to use Veron in a day. So I checked with my friend *the real doc hehe* After 3 days, it seems not working, we checked with the doc again, and continue with same medc again until one day I surrendered and asked doctor to admit to start on anti viral. Through my reading, they also suggested to use ibu profen *which works equal to Veron* with PCM. My last time met with ibuprofen I guess when I met the paed at UMSC. So, I might need to standby this at home too. 

My first time trial on seba med diaper rash cream,it works amazingly!

Now,its already 2 nights in the row, Ryan tak tidur lena. He felt uneasy due to the cough and phlegm I think. So,  today I decided to bring him for check up again. Syukur, the lung is clear, only there's still residue of phlegm dekat dalam rongga at nose and throat area which will take time to clear. So I requested to get nebullizer to help clear all those stucked phlegm. I went to check for myself as well since dah 2 weeks batuk and kahak banyak sangat. And plus, the monthly calls already 8 days delay. To my surprise *jengjengjeng..tgu hujung entry yer* I also had mild fever 37.8 degC, tak sedar sb risaukan anak lebih. So, I'm on mc today, hopefully 3 days I have including weekend can be fully utilize to ensure Ryan fully recover for next week. Tak risau sgt nak hantar nursery.

Cepat sembuh lil boy!

Mothers, we might not a doctor by profession, but we still have to react like a doctor *unprofessional doc* when dealing with unwell children. Let us to always pray to Allah, may He grant the good health for all of us, InsyaAllah. Amin.

I think it should be a good news  for me at this moment as I targeted the next baby in next 2 years, InsyaAllah..

*tapi nape delay, stress ni!!!*

October, please be nice to me ....

Ok, I'm now trying to get back momentum to blog. Sorry for the long silence. Past 2 weeks were such hectic weeks for us. Tiring days entertaining the sick but active boys, lack sleep to do house chores and pending office job and haywire routines as we temporary moved to our 5 stars hotel again, uhuk uhuk DEMC la!! Bila kesihatan anak-anak tak mengizinkan, memang boleh buat semuanya jadik haru biru. Continue entry from Stay at home mommy, demam Ryan masih tak kebah walaupun dah masuk hari ke-8. Nak kata tak tinggi, tapi sometimes goes up to 38 degC jugak. So, no more delay, I decided to see the paed on last Monday. Hati dah kuat kata memang kena admit jugak lah budak Ryan ni. We went to see Dr Fadzillah from DEMC Specialist. Doc suggested to get him warded so that they can closely monitor the temperature and started on 3 hours neb, sb dah flu and batuk pun berterusan. Since Ryan not responding to previous treatment, paed started to gv him 5 days course of anti-viral as well. Lucky it was oral type, tk payah drip bagai. Ryan ni, tag nama letak kat tangan pun boleh dibukak, apatah lagik kalau pakai drip semua. 

Good thing is, Ryan was so cooperative during neb time.
On last day, boleh siap tolong pegangkan sekali dengan nurse tu..Good job boy.

Brought his fave toys to kill time at hospital...

End up, he more preferred to make ward tour rather than playing toys at his room..

Siap mandi je, terus tunjuk kasut dia, ajak pusing ward.

On 3rd day of our stay, mommy dah rase tak sedap badan. Ryan seems to respond with this anti-viral. No more fever, cuma flu and running nose je. We have problem with admission, they did not take note that I required a single bedded room, end up I requested doc to early discharge him and continue treatment at home. Duduk twin bedded room ni, bukan sahaja nak kena control pitching suara, si Adam and Ryan bukan boleh duduk diam, kena plak Ryan ni, setiap setengah jam, pergi buat lawatan bilik sebelah. Keje dia pegi selak langsir org sebelah je. Buzzybody!! Tension mommy nak kena tarik masuk balik. Sudahnye, hari Rabu petang kami dah keluar. Tapi yang best mommy plak yg berjangkit. Malam tu saje dah 39 degC. Adooila!

Temperature on Thursday morning before went to see doc..

2 more days mc to rest at home..

Agak2 boleh rest ke kalau anak-anak ada kat rumah?? Deng!!

After all drama, EL and MC, I'm returning to work today menunaikan kewajipan sebagai pekerja di syarikat pembuat kereta ini. I have tons of works to do and next week plak dah start training SAP balik. Walaupun sebenarnye baton sakit tu dah bertukar tangan ke Adam balik since weekend, but this time around, Mr Hubs need to take EL. Konsep gilir-gilir. Tapi bila Ryan susah nak gilir, sb papa takde tutttt!!! October schedules are pack with many activities, follow with November and Dec for kenduri kendara. Dengan cuti yang berbaki sedikit sahaja lagik, I pray harder moga Allah memudahkan segala urusan kami. Peliharalah kami dibawah payung keberkatan dan kesejahteraanMu Ya Allah.

October, please be nice to me...

=)

Stay at home mommy..

Dah masuk seminggu I tak masuk office. Rumah pun dah jadik 24 hours nursery. That's why I dah jadik stay at home mom now, sb nak kata work from home, nak buka laptop check email pun payah. Started with Ryan demam on last weekend, pass baton to Adam and myself as well. On Monday, sepatutnye cuti hari Malaysia kan, tapi company I keje, konon cuti bring fwd to raya haji. Tapi kalau dah nursery tutup, sah2 kena apply cuti jugak.Ntah pape kan. That was the 4th AL yg kena apply sb Pr**t*n keje, nursery tutup. Biasanya hubby will apply leave as well, langkah besar lah sket. Since hubs on training, katanya tak boleh nak escape, so jadiklah kami 3 beranak duduk rumah. Ryan dah suam2 dah that day. Night before tu pun dah start with PCM, tak nak melarat. Dah lama jugak rasenye Ryan tak demam. Tapi so far tak tinggi sgt, cuma start cranky je lah. Ngada2 aje. Tuesday, mommy supposed go to work, Ryan temperature slightly increased. Pastu dengan bnyk kali buang air beasr, make me so worried. So I decided to stay at home and monitor. Wednesday we went to DEMC, doc asked to quarantine him from school as there were some spots of ulcer inside his mouth. With bad running nose and flu, and fever still there, mmg confirm mommy kena amik cuti lagik.  Worst Adam pun showed the same signs of mouth ulcer, menjerit2 tak nak makan and pedih. Syukur bukan HFMD.  Jadik kena cuti from nursery sb air liur diorang asyik meleleh tak boleh control due to that spots inside mouth. Takut nanti jadik infection and jangkit kat orang lain pulak. Worst, doc worried they boys become dehydrated sb kurang air. So she wanted me to ensure budak2 ni makan and minum well. Sb kalau dah tak nak makan minum, nanti karang kn admitted sb nk kena drip. Wohooo, I rela amik cuti 5 hari duduk rumah rather than cuti 5 hari duduk hospital. Walaupun hspital swasta, makan boleh order, stress wooo!!!

And now everyone still at home, cuti 5 days from school. Happy, memang lah sgt dua beranak tu. Mommy plak mula rase bersalah tak masuk office, tapi nak tak nak, family come first. Nak gilir2 ngan hubby pun, training dia 4 days in row, memang tak boleh skip. Lagipun, kalau Mr Hubby jaga sorang, mahu karang naik darah tinggi. Budak2 ni, konon nye demam, temperature tinggi, tapi active dia tk rupa orang sakit. Tinggal Ryan je lah, tak boleh berenggang langsung. Nak mandi pun kena tunggu dia tidur dulu. Doing urgent bussiness pun dia nak follow. Paling syok Ryan lah, asyik nak bergayut je. Sakit badan mommy anak oiii. As of today, the boys showing good sign of recovery. Dah less spots inside mouths, makan pun ok, tinggal running nose je lah. Ryan still got fever on and off. Hopefully with another cuti during weekend, diorang fully recovered. InsyaAllah.

As said, walaupun sakit diorang ni active je. So nak tak nak kenalah buat some activities dgn diorang. Kalau tak si abang and si adik keje nak berperang je. Bukannya boleh main baik2 pun. Specially si adik ni, suka sgt sakat abg dia. Semua abang pegang nak, semua abang main dia kacau. Tidur pun dia nak usik. Itulah si Ryan. Mommy pun kena bnyk sabor, kalau tak ada karang pressure naik, tukar jadik hulk. grrrr.

Cerita di hari Isnin...

Ok, misi nak update blog dengan fresh story alamaknye terkubur lagik. Last week busy kat office, time rehat semua dah tak tentu masa, balik rumah fat flat sampai decided to get supplement to help reduce tiredness. Alhmadulillah, so far working well. But today, terpaksa extend cuti after weekend, the two boys not feeling so well. Started with Ryan since last week, weekend tranferred to his brother, Adam. Running nose *macam air sungai dah* with bad coughing specially at night. Macam zombie dah mak bapak dia. Tak cukup tidur. Last night, Adam dah start susah nak bernafas, sign of tightchest and wheezing, cepat-cepat bawak pergi DEMC. Both of them kena amik neb. Alhamdulillah, semalam tidur nyenyak setelah beberapa hari asyik batuk tengah malam. But today, I decided to take them off from nursery to ensure proper medications and ensure betul2 baik. Nanti takut amik karang from nursery straight away admitted plak. Lagik susah kan.

Inilah ubat-ubatan yang nak kena bagi kat 2 budak aktif tu...

Sakit tu small matter je bagi diorang, kalau tengok tak de rupa orang sakit pun...

Aktif semacam je..

Cerita bab bagi ubat, kalau Abang Adam sap sap soi je, sedut je. Siap bagi nama..ooo clear color..ubat air kan mommy..pink (PCM) ooo strawberry ek mommy..Tapi kalau kat Ryan, berperang dulu lah..Tapi lately macam dah pasrah dah, senang sket. Kira kalau sorang je bagi, lepas lah.

Aktiviti suri rumah berjaya harini adalah melayan anak teruna yang tengah nak recover, jangan mommy pengsan sudah. Ryan tadi baru lepas afternoonnap, macamane nak tido lama kalau si abangnye saje2 pergi dekat nak kacau. Yang Adam plak, tenaga luar biasa dari mana ntah, bangan before 7am, till now segar bugar..mak aiii pening den!!

Muka lepas makan ubat pagi tadi..

Seluar belang, baju pakai kat nursery..

Bagi pakai nak tengok pakai kat rumah plak..hikhik!!

Abang Adam macam biasa, tergolek dengan tab kat tangan..

Angin datang nak jalan2 pakai selipar kat rumah..

Layan kan saja Ryan...

Zoom sket crocs RM10 Abang Adam mase kecik..

Motif nak tunjuk kaki bambam!

Dah puas buat lawatan tapak, berenti menulis..

Ni keje budak Ryan jugak, cover air purifier pun dia berkenan..

Dah bosan...

Kacau Abang Adam plak...

Tu baru separuh hari, shift petang ni, tengoklah, apa aktiviti budak2 berdua ni. =) Tapi mommy ada misi, nak buat spring cleaning bilik mainan. Tak macam rupa bilik dah. Berterabur mainan *dah kata bilik mainan kan, tapi bululah mata tengok tak tersusun*, plus nak kemas barang2 yang dah tak nak pakai, boleh let go kepada sesiapa yang memerlukan. Elok lagik, terjamin. *hint pump n walker* Puasa first nanti my parents datang, bestnye. Bolehlah memesan bekalan puasa dari Terengganu. *apa nak order yerkkk*

Ok, back to highlight for this week. Haha, for sure story mory for last week yang tergendala, and jangan tak tahu Cik Yah ni nak jadik toke cookies..hihihik *sambil tutup mulut* Actually nak tolong my SIL. Diorang tolong2 jual homemade cookies kat Banting. Berani nak jadik distributer sebab dah 3-4 kali raya order, sgt murah *itu yang pasti* and best. Maklumlah buat kat kg, harga mmg murah, so nanti sape2 yang belum order cookies, boleh jengah2 entry kita nanti. =)

Btw,  u'olls  dah settle shopping raya? Seperti biasa, saya dah. Bukan semangat nak beraya mengalahkan puasa, cuma tak suka suka berlegar kat shopping complex time bulan puasa. Pastu time terawih mulalah nak bukak langkah carik barang2 tak settle. Sian Mr Hubby tak boleh terawih karang =). So, with all the sales for the past 2,3 weeks, up to 50% + 10% u'olls..settle lah keje mommy!!Cuma kasut raya je belum, sb that day pergi warehouse sale and sale stride ride, konon up to 60%, ada 5 psg je kut ada...hahhaha, ntah pape!!!

Mana nak jumpa baju Gap RM 27 je..time sale mcm ni lah..

Ahkak suke..hikhik!!

Last but not least..

Bangga mommy tengok anak mommy tekun menulis..

ok, bye bye...

When My Lil' Bambam Not Well..

Dah masuk hari ke-3 budak bambam mommy ni demam. Yesterday, the temperature increased up to 39degC. I gv him Voren *via suppository* waktu subuh and after 6 hrs, the temperature increased balik, so we decided to see the doc. The swollen tonsile due to infection as the caused of the high and fluctuate temperature. Last night, the fever still there, but very mild, so I keep on sponging, kalau bangun bagi PCM mahu satu rumah bangun sb Ryan pasti akan melalak bila tengok ubat. So, this morning, I need to take another day leave. And I guess I really make a correct decision. Ryan was cranky the whole morning sb hidung pulak tersumbat. Tak nak makan, bf pun kurang sb tak selesa. So, I gv him Sterimar nasal spray, Alhamdulillah, he fall asleep right after. Tengahari pun makan dah banyak, and dah start bf walaupun hidung bunyi sgt lah rough.

I guess I know why the bambam boy down with fever again this time after the last one about 2 months ago. 2 big gigi kapak kat depan tengah nak kuar. But I don't know whether the medical practice accept teething can lead to fever.*anyone??* He started to feel uncomfortable since last week.Sgt cranky tak tentu pasal. Owh this is not his first tooth. Including those gigi kapak, dah 4 batang gigi. His 1st tooth appeared on his 9months. Demam jugak that time. I wished to upload the picture, tapi susahnye nak ambil gambar. Macam perang sudah jadiknye. Patut le Ryan kuar gigi lambat, asyik nak mengigit aje budak ni. Naik seriau plak nak bf. Adam dulu, few times je dia bite, tu pun main2. Ryan ni, lagilah..kadang2, saje2 je dia gigit. Satu rumah mommy jerit ok.So notty notty boy..grrrr!!!

Beberapa cubaan untuk ambil gambar gigi Ryan..

Failed!!

Fail jgak..

Last weekend..

Finally..

His first tooth on your right side..

So, total 2 btg kat bawah..

Cubaan nak ambil gambar gigi depan pulak..

Semalam..fail jgak!!

Sebab duk berebut camera ngan mommy pulak..

This morning, duk agah2 main cak cak..sekali dia sengeh..

Owh..now I know how to snap the picture..

Taraa...

"Seksi kan gigi saya ;)"

Atau demam sebab nak berjalan??

hahaha..

Camane nak jalan cepat, tengok kaki gumok tu, nak berdiri pun tak stable ok..

Semalam timbang 11kg..MasyaAllah..

Ok, gtg..budak bambam dah bangun..

Get well soon lil' bambam..
