AidilAdha 2007 Birthday’s Event
Post by MamaFiza on December 20, 2007
Late night before AidilAdha 2007 my kiddies requested for their Year-End Birthday Party.

The wishing kiddies
OMG, it’s already 9 pm and we had nothing left at home for those quick-witted preparation.
Together with our kiddies, my hubby and I dashed to:
- Yummy Bakery‘s shop to grab brownie ingredients
- bought balloons & lil birthday masks, whistles and hats
- snatched some crackers, chocolates plus candies at Billion Shopping Mall, Bangi PKNS. *really zippy thingy yo*
After dinner, our kiddies *yes, including lil YunaFi-cHan* were helping me packed birthday’s goodies. (11 pm to 12 midnight!)
We practiced our counting while loaded things up.

Getting ready~

My KiruaMi-cHan, our caring photographer; The King, my beloved grandma, my lil bro Is and his best-cousin Ridhuan.

My lil sis, Mea; busily tied up all the balloons, thank you so much dear! Our prayer for the event and the rest of the family.

With one of my closest uncles; Pak Long. He so sweet and even helping me to climb out high just to put on those birthday pinky balloons! Pictures of my beloved grandma, Pak Long, Mak Long and me; making jokes and laughing*

Birthday kiddies: ReiHi-cHan and KiruaMi-cHan

Birthday’s brownies *yatta*
KiruaMi-cHan lend me a hand at 4 am, before Subuh prayer to baked the above Chewy Gooey Yummy Brownies.
Inspired by my cyber world pal: Miss Anamiraa and superb recipe from Miss Erna whom owned brownies online business *best seller*
Didn’t manage to make fancy topping for the brownies or even sweet icing decoration for my kiddies due to limit of time *gomen ne*
Nevertheless, it turn out very well at the party. Most of my cousins can’t resisted an offer for choc brownies.
My lil sister: Miss meamizuno said that our lil brother, Mr Daus love it so much and even shared ‘em with his besties; Miss Rachael, whom just arrived a couple of days before from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah to Subang, KL.

One of my closest uncle; Pak Uda, read prayer and even sang birthday song for my kiddies! *lovely*

The End of the party~
Thank you so much everyone! May you have a great new year. Amin~

Ways to Make Brushing Fun
Post by MamaFiza on December 12, 2007
When and how to clean your baby’s teeth?
Sometimes most of new mommies will puzzled with the above matter.
Don’t panic. It is not a rocket science.
It is just “having fun time with your little angel“.
As soon as our baby’s first tooth appears, we should start caring for it.
Most experts recommend wiping the tooth a couple of times a day with a cloth. *I used this method*
Why? This keeps the residue from milk from sticking to the tooth.

The secret of KiruaMi-cHan beauty smile: Routine of brushing teeth!
Also available are baby toothbrushes that fit on your finger, these have very soft bristles and can also be used to clean the tooth. This is a useful item to use, particularly as more teeth arrive.
Adult toothpaste is not recommended until a child is about three because they may swallow it and get too much fluoride.
However there are many varieties of children’s toothpaste on the market, in a variety of flavors, colors and branding.
Safety Tips: You can use a soft toothbrush, but no toothpaste, until your baby is at least six months old. Then never apply more toothpaste than the size of a green pea. Do not use toothpaste that has fluoride until your baby is two years old.
By the time children are a year and a half, they are more interested in the toothbrush.
It is worth giving them a toothbrush as soon as they become interested.
By 2 years of age you can teach them how to brush with a toothbrush twice a day.
Note: Take your baby with you to the dentist from being a tiny baby so he or she can get used to the sights, sounds and going regularly. This should help when a check up is needed once your baby’s teeth begin to grow.
Below are some of Dental Care 101:
- Choose health snacks
The odds of experiencing cavities in primary teeth were significantly greater in children who did not eat breakfast daily or ate fewer than 5 servings of fruit and vegetables per day.
Young children with poor eating habits are more likely to experience caries.
Try avoiding as much sugar as possible for your child. Sugar is a huge cause of teeth problems like cavities.
*I know from being a mom, we all love to spoil our child with cookies, cakes, ice cream and of course the good old juice. I’m not saying to stop giving them these items just cut back on them.*
Try to give them more fruits or vegetable, and if you want to give them cookies or something, try some of the sugar free products. They are really not that bad in taste.
The sugar free products have improved a lot, but if your child ends up not liking them, you can add a little flavor to them with some dip, if they are chips or peanut butter if they are crackers.

ReiHi-cHan favorite fruits. Orange gal!
- Bedtime is the most important time to brush
- If your child falls and cuts his or her lip, use something cold, such as a Popsicle. They will like the treat and it will reduce swelling at the same time.
- Change your child’s toothbrush
Every 3 months and after the child has been sick. It is important to change toothbrushes after recovering from the cold and flu, as toothbrushes hold onto bacteria and may cause re-infection. *this is my strictly method*
How to Make Brushing Fun & Easy for Parent plus Toddler:
- Brush with your child
Stand next to your child in front of the bathroom mirror and brush together.
It’s a nice time together, and your child can mimic your brushing technique.
- Cute toothbrushes
There are lots of great-looking children’s brushes available in stores.
Be sure to choose a toothbrush that’s small enough for your child to hold comfortably, with a small, rounded head and very soft, polished bristles.
You’ll probably have to replace toothbrushes every three to four months (more often for preschoolers who tend to chew while they brush!) *my precise routine didn’t allow this act*
So when you get into the store, allow them to choose their favorite character tooth brush.
To make it even more fun for child allow them to pay for it at the register, this will not only make them feel special, it will make them feel like they are a big boy or a big girl like their parents.

ReiHi-cHan‘s picks

KiruaMi-cHan‘s toothbrush selections
- Tasty toothpaste
For children under 4, choose a product formulated especially for children, like Kodomo Lion‘s for toddler.
It has a special mild flavor that babies and toddlers love, in Strawberry, Orange, Mango, Apple or Grape.
It’s also safe to swallow and non-abrasive. So tooth and gum care is easier and more fun.

I also used these toothpaste in my childhood days *yay*
- Count as you brush
Count out loud as you brush each tooth: “Tooth number one is all clean! Tooth number two is all clean! Here comes tooth number three!”
This is entertaining for your child, and a good way to practice counting.
- Teach direction as you brush
Pretend that you and your kiddies in military areas.
Say loud: Brushing UP, Brushing DOWN, Brushing RIGHT, Brushing LEFT.
Ask them to check on each other teeths including yours and says: All check, Commander, Sir!
- Bring a friend
At bedtime, kiddies may want to invite a favorite stuffed animal into the bathroom to watch as they brush.
- Tell a toothy story
Kiddies love to hear favorite stories again and again.
Try making up a special short story that you tell only during teeth-brushing time.
It can be simple and silly, like this one:
“Once there was a little girl (or boy) who had very, very dirty teeth!
Oh no! said the little girl. What should I do?
Boo hoo! Boo hoo! (At this point, your child can supply the sound effects.)
Then all at once, a magic fairy appeared and said, I have a special treat for you! It’s a magic toothbrush! Hooray! said the little girl (boy).
The magic toothbrush jumped up and brushed the dirty teeth just like this (you brush teeth), until they were as shiny as the stars in the sky.
This made the little girl (boy) smile the biggest smile in the whole wide world — just like this smile right now. (Your child smiles a big smile at the mirror.) The end.”
- Sing a toothy song
Make up a silly song to sing every time you brush. It doesn’t have to be a masterpiece. Try something like this, sung to the tune of “Barney: Brushing My Teeth“
“Oh I’m brushing my teeth on top, it’s so much fun I hate to stop, but while I’m brushing my teeth and having so much fun, I never let the water run. No I never let the water run. Oh, I’m brushing my teeth on the bottom, cuz I wouldn’t wanna say that I forgot em’, but while I’m brushing my teeth and having so much fun, I never let the water run. No, I never let the water run.”
“Oh I’m brushing my teeth in back, gotta get rid of all the plaque, but while I’m brushing my teeth and having so much fun I never let the water run. No I never let the water run. Oh I’m brushing my teeth all around, cuz I like to hear the squishing sound, but while I’m brushing my teeth and having so much, I never let the water run. Oh never let the water run. Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah, I never let the water run.”

Lil YunaFi-cHan‘s smile
Addition:
- Every time you go into your bathroom to brush your own teeth, take your child with you. Show them that mommy/daddy brush their their teeth too. You can have your child help you, by allowing them to hand you your tooth paste and your tooth brush. Then while you are brushing your teeth, you can start singing a song about it. I know this may sound goofy, but sometimes being silly or goofy works better than being so serious all the time. *yatta*
- After you are done doing your normal brushing routine, hand your tooth brush to your child and let them brush your teeth for you. This will allow them to see how it all works, but also they will see that it doesn’t hurt mommy/daddy, and then they won’t be afraid when it comes time for them to do it to themselves. I have noticed from my experience that children love to mimic their parents, so this is the occasion where you want them to mimic you. Always be there to supervise as well, because too much toothpaste can harm your child if swallowed.
- You may also buy your child a book all about brushing their teeth, read it to them every night just like you would if you were potty training them.This allows all the literature to sink into those little brains of theirs. By doing all of these steps, your child will have that white pearly smile that you always want to see.
My personal tips:
Always reward your child with “Wow, what a great sparkling, pearl teeth that you had! It was so shining, and dazzling! I just can stop starring at your smiles“, hugs and kisses them, every time when they finished brushing routine.
*they’ll sure gonna love it and be very proud of their hardwork for taking care of their teeth*![]()
All the best mommies! Gambatte ne

December 2007 Update
Post by MamaFiza on December 11, 2007
Moshi-moshi
Good morning everyone. Wish ya all the best!
For the last 2 days my hubby had setup new design template for our home school blog *thank you so much dearie, great job!*
And yesterday, I had been fixing all the bugs issues as states by most of our loyal blog readers recently. *thank you, hugs*
Today; tadaa, I’m back for blogging, Alhamdulillah *cheers*
Next week, we will celebrating AidilAdha *for Muslims*. Love it!
My mum & dad can hardly celebrate this special day together with us due to they were in Mecca, Saudi Arabia for Hajj.
May Allah swt blessed & reward the best for them. Amin~ *miss ‘em*

Inner beauty!
As usual, my siblings will join me gather at my lovely grandma‘s house in Bandar Baru Bangi, Selangor. Except; this time without our beloved parent
Truly, I miss my mummy [MIL] in Johor Bahru, Johor. It has been such a long time, I do miss it!
Confession: Didn’t like the term of MIL; Mother In Law, at all because it looks “alienate“. In Islam, MIL is same like our own mother, rite?
It will be end of the year soon, both lil KiruaMi-cHan and lil ReiHi-cHan was so enthusiast about Christmas decoration.
- They fancy the color and frippery. Insya-Allah, will bring them to check out the scene at KL malls during this weekend.
- As for me, teaching them to respect different culture, religion and race in our appealing country is a must. *Insya-Allah*
Update for latest innovation; my delight of Robot-tech. The birth of; Twendy-One!

How to Get Enough Sleep with a Newborn
Post by MamaFiza on December 7, 2007
What new parents need more than almost anything else is sleep. *believe me!*
It is definitely a challenge to get enough sleep while taking care of a newborn, but it can be done.
As for me, getting quality time for sleep is very crucial to develop positive thinking mum. *Insya-Allah*
Things You’ll Need:
* Baby Bathtubs
* Baby Blankets
- Step 1:
Make a big sign for your door that says, “Mother and baby are sleeping! Please do not knock or ring unless we are expecting you!“
- Step 2:
Leave the sign up for as long as you like it works.
- Step 3:
Turn off the ringer on the handphone/telephone and let the machine answer all calls. Return calls when you feel like it. People will understand. *That’s why I don’t have a personal phone, yay*
- Step 4:
Nap when your baby naps. Try to resist the urge to do dishes and housework instead.
- Step 5:
Share sleep with, or sleep near, your baby. With the right safety precautions, this can mean a good night’s sleep for everyone.
- Step 6:
Accept all offers of help from your husband. Let them come over and do a load of laundry, or even cook a family meal, while you sleep.
*You just gave birth to his son/daughter, so it is time for you to be a lil princess, rite? But don’t overdo it !
Remember to use words of “please” & “thank you” together with his sweet name such as “darling“, “cutie pie“, “my hero” or, whatever suit the best*
- Step 7:
Keep the room quiet and dark if you get up for night feedings. This will help your baby understand that nighttime is for sleeping, not playing.
- Step 8:
Take a warm bath with your baby a couple of hours before bedtime. This will relax both of you and prepare you for a good night’s sleep.
Alert:
- Keep your baby warm, but not too warm, at night. If you are sharing sleep with your baby, he should be dressed more lightly than babies who sleep alone.
- If you are breast-feeding, work on the side-lying nursing position as soon as possible. This will allow you to sleep or catnap while you nurse.
- If you are breast-feeding, remember that breast milk is digested quickly. Because your baby is processing his meals so efficiently, he may need to eat a number of times during the night.
- In the middle of the night, when it seems that your baby has been up every half-hour, repeat to yourself, “This too shall pass,” and remain calm.
- Avoid letting your newborn cry at night. New babies need to eat frequently – and be comforted just as frequently.
- Avoid falling asleep on a couch with your baby. It creates the risk of falling and/or suffocation.
- If your baby is in your bed, make sure you have taken all the necessary safety precautions.
- If you are bottle-feeding breast milk, resist the temptation to give your baby an extra-large meal before bedtime. It won’t help him sleep longer and may actually upset his digestion.
- Burp baby well – Even if you have to wake baby after a feed to burp, it will be well worth your while. The baby will usually wake again soon anyway (which also means you!) so by taking the time to do it properly the first time you and baby will get a much longer sleep.
Hope those tips could cherish your relationship between your newborn and beloved husband
Please take care of your health *tataa*
