Akif & his ball...He dribbles at 10 months old!

*Sorry for the poor video quality. Taken using my handphone as i didn't want to miss the 'star' while he was in action ;))

Akif learned to walk sooner than his two brothers, Kimi & Hafiy. Both Kimi & Hafiy walked after they blew their first birthday candle. Akif took his first step at 10 months old. Looks like someone just doesn't want to be left behind when his brothers go duit raya hunting this coming Eid. Heheheh

Salam Ramadan to all my muslim family & friends.

A special quote i would like to share with you. This quote was posted by a few friends on FB. You may have read it too. But because i love every single word, i decided to post it here....

" Apabila Allah S.W.T cepat makbulkan doamu, maka Dia menyayangimu, apabila Dia lambat makbulkan doamu, maka Dia ingin mengujimu, apabila Dia tidak makbulkan doamu, maka Dia merancang sesuatu yang lebih baik untukmu.Oleh itu,sentiasalah bersangka baik pada Allah dalam apa jua keadaan sekali pun.kerana kasih sayang Allah ...itu mendahului kemurkaan nya. Amin..."

Happy Breastfeeding Week Mommies!

Just 10 Steps- The Baby Friendly Way

What are the 10 steps?

10 LANGKAH KE ARAH PENYUSUAN IBU YANG BERJAYA

Setiap kemudahan yang menyediakan perkhidmatan perbidanan dan penjagaan bayi baru lahir perlu:

1. Mempunyai polisi penyusuan ibu secara bertulis yang disampaikan kepada semua kakitangan kesihatan secara berkala.
2.  Melatih semua kakitangan kesihatan dalam kemahiran yang perlu untuk melaksanakan polisi ini.
3.  Memberitahu semua ibu mengandung tentang kebaikan dan pengurusan penyusuan ibu.
4.  Membantu ibu-ibu memulakan penyusuan ibu dalam masa setengah jam selepas kelahiran.
5. Menunjukkan ibu-ibu cara menyusukan dan mengekalkan penghasilan susu walaupun mereka terpaksa dipisahkan daripada anak-anak mereka.
6. Tidak memberikan bayi-bayi baru lahir makanan atau minuman selain susu ibu kecuali atas sebab-sebab perubatan.
7. Mengamalkan penyusuan di sisi ibu (“rooming-in”) – membenarkan ibu dan anak bersama-sama selama 24 jam sehari.
8. Menggalakkan penyusuan ibu mengikut kehendak bayi.
9. Tidak memberikan puting tiruan atau puting kepada bayi-bayi yang menyusu susu ibu.
10. Menggalakkan penubuhan kumpulan sokongan penyusuan ibu dan merujuk ibu-ibu kepada mereka selepas keluar hospital atau klinik.
