Pollutants found in the investigators in the mother in Manhattan and the South Bronx, America is the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs abbreviated). That is, pollutants that are found in motor vehicle fumes, factory smoke and fumes. Exposure to PAHs during pregnancy can cause DNA damage that increases the risk of cancer and cause the baby to have the possibility of two times more likely to experience delays in the development of intelligence in the age of 3 years.

2. Heart Disease.

The study team David Barker showed, inadekuat food intake (less) in the mother during pregnancy, making fetal transfer of nutrients entering or absorbed to the development of most vital organs, namely brain. Meanwhile, the development of other organs so little "ignored", and eventually in the next 20 years work of the heart so weak. Babies born weighing less a result of maternal nutrient intake during comprehend the less risk of heart disease due to lack of food intake disrupt heart development.

The study revealed that pregnant women let him starve or are in a stressful condition of high-risk birth children who have schizophrenia (mental disorder that complex). Catherine Monk, an assistant professor of psychiatry at Columbia University, United States, found the mood of the mother even before pregnancy affects the psychological and mental development of children.

Mengatasi Cegukan Bayi

2010-04-20T00:49:00.000-07:00

Cegukan pada bayi adalah hal biasa, tapi bila terjadi terus menerus tentu membuat orang tua menjadi khawatir, tips saya yg sebelumnya juga tidak dapat dipraktekan, karena kasus nya beda. (masa bayi disuru nungging2 atau tahan napas hehehehehe)

Biasanya orang tua yg baru pertama kali punya anak paling khawatir jika bayinya yg masih berumur 0-3 bulan cegukan, padahal cegukan pada bayi terutama setelah minum ASI atau susu botol sebenarnya hal yg biasa dan dialami hampir semua bayi.

Meski kadang suara cegukan berkali-kali tersebut mungkin terasa mengganggu di telinga orang yg mendengarnya, gejala tersebut tidak menimbulkan sakit sedikitput pada si kecil. dan sangat jarang cegukan menjadi tanda atau gejala dari suatu penyakit serius.

Penyebab

Pengencangan diafragma (otot di dasar paru-paru yang digunakan untuk bernafas) secara mendadak dan tak terduga, sehingga menyebabkan udara tiba-tiba tertarik masuk lewat mulut, sehingga menimbulkan suara ceguk-ceguk.
Cegukan seringkali bermula ketika seseorang melakukan dua hal sekaligus, misalnya tertawa selagi makan atau minum.
Stres, terkadang itu tanda klau bayi sedang stres, coba ingat-ingat apa yg sebelumnya dialami si kecil.
Bahkan cegukan yg sesekali saja bisa disebabkan oleh sesuatu yang lain, seperti serangga yg masuk kesaluran telinga dan menyentuh gendang telinga.

antara cegukan dengan keselek beda…
Mengapa pada bayi lebih sering cegukan dari pada anak-anak atau bahkan orang tua sangat jarang cegukan?

hal ini berkaitan erat dengan asupan oksigen yang diperlukan oleh tubuh dan kemampuan sel-sel alveoli paru-paru untuk menghisap udara. Pada saat bersamaan maka justru diafragma akan mengalami kontraksi
keselek, karena pekerjaan yang berhubungan antara digestive organ dan respiratoris organ bekerja bersamaan, dsb……….

Hilang Sendiri

Sebenarnya tidak diperlukan perawatan apapun untuk mengatasi cegukan bayi. sebab cegukan itu secara berangsur akan hilang sendiri. namun bila orangtua merasa terganggu dengan cegukan tsb, yg bisa dilakukan adalah memberi minum susu atau air kepada si kecil. setelah beberapa kali isapan biasanya cegukan si kecil akan berhenti.

Selain itu, ada beberapa langkah bagi ibu menyusui agar bisa mengeluarkan banyak ASI.

Berikan ASI kepada bayi sesering mungkin, sesuka bayi.
Berikan ASI dari satu payudara, sampai bayi kenyang, baru tawarkan payudara berikutnya. Hal ini untuk mencegah ketidakseimbangan ASI yang keluar duluan (foremilk) dengan ASI yang keluar belakangan (hindmilk).
Biarkan bayi yang mengakhiri sesi menyusui ini. Jangan lepaskan payudara sebelum bayi kenyang, biar ia sendiri yang melepaskannya.
Pastikan posisi menyusui sudah benar, ingat mulut bayi harus berada pada seluruh daerah areola, bukan hanya pada puting.
Bulatkan TEKAD dan tingkatkan rasa percaya diri bahwa ibu pasti bisa memberikan ASI.
Perbanyak frekwensi pemberian ASI. Semakin banyak ASI dihisap bayi, semakin banyak pula ASI yang akan diproduksi.
Jangan menunggu sampai payudara terasa penuh baru memberikan ASI, terkadang ibu-ibu suka salah kaprah dan menunggu sampai payudaranya terasa penuh baru memberikan ASI.
Perbanyak skin to skin contact. Biarkan bayi tanpa pakaian dipelukan ibu yang juga tidak menggunakan baju, supaya bayi familiar sama ibunya, sentuh bayi, nyanyiin lullaby, ajak dia bercanda, dll.
Bulatkan tekad untuk memberi ASI eksklusif.
Jangan sedia stok susu formula... karena akan "menggoda" ibu untuk memberikannya. Please, hanya ASI-lah yang terbaik untuk bayi.
Tetap semangat dan jangan menyerah untuk ASI.

Perawatan Gigi Bayi

2010-03-30T22:59:00.000-07:00

Bayi usia 0-6 bulan umumnya belum memiliki gigi susu. Namun begitu, kegiatan membersihkan lidah dan gusinya sudah harus dilakukan begitu selesai menyusu dan sebelum tidur malam. Berikut langkah-langkahnya:

* Sediakan potongan kain kasa atau kain steril yang lembut.

* Celupkan/basahi kain tersebut dengan air matang.

* Balutkan kain pada jari telunjuk ibu/ayah.

* Bersihkan mulut dan gusi si kecil secara perlahan.

* Posisikan bayi berbaring agak tegak atau duduk di pangkuan kalau sudah bisa.

Gigi Bayi

* Bila gigi susu bayi sudah muncul, gunakan sikat gigi mungil. Jika hendak menggunakan pasta gigi, sediakan lap basah karena si kecil belum bisa berkumur. Posisikan ia duduk di pangkuan.

Arah membersihkannya bisa vertikal maupun horisontal. Yang penting seluruh permukaan gigi, baik bagian luar maupun dalam (yang menghadap ke lidah), dan sela-selanya ikut dibersihkan.

* Kalau sudah selesai, seka pasta giginya dari mulut dan bibir dengan lap basah sampai bersih.

Gigi Anak

Lakukan langkah-langkah menggosok gigi yang terbaik seperti ini:

* Gosok gigi searah, dari atas ke bawah untuk gigi atas; dan sebaliknya dari bawah ke atas untuk gigi bawah. Inilah prinsip menyikat “dari merah ke putih” atau dari gusi ke ujung gigi agar kotoran yang tersapu tidak balik lagi. Gerakan searah juga menjaga kesehatan gusi.

* Buatlah gerakan mengeluarkan kotoran dari sela-sela gigi.

* Gosoklah perlahan semua permukaan gigi mulai dari bagian dalam, tengah, dan luar.

* Bersihkan juga langit-langit, dinding mulut, dan permukaan lidah.

* Usahakan air yang digunakan untuk menggosok gigi bersih dan jernih. Untuk anak yang baru belajar berkumur sediakan air matang.

* Jangan berkumur terlalu banyak supaya masih tersisa fluoride untuk menjaga kekuatan gigi.

Waktu Gosok Gigi

Waktu terbaik untuk menggosok gigi adalah setelah makan dan sebelum tidur. Menggosok gigi setelah makan bertujuan mengangkat sisa-sisa makanan yang menempel di permukaan ataupun di sela-sela gigi dan gusi. Sedangkan menggosok gigi sebelum tidur berguna untuk menahan perkembangbiakan bakteri dalam mulut karena dalam keadaan tidur tidak diproduksi ludah yang berfungsi membersihkan gigi dan mulut secara alami. Untuk itu usahakan gigi betul-betul dalam kondisi bersih sebelum tidur. Nah, ketika bangun pagi, gigi masih relatif bersih sehingga menyikatnya bisa dilakukan setelah sarapan.

Pilih Dan Ganti Sikat Gigi

Untuk anak, pilih sikat gigi yang ukurannya kecil dengan tangkai yang mudah digenggam. Bulu sikatnya halus tapi kuat. Bagian ujung kepala sikatnya menyempit agar mudah menjangkau bagian dalam. Untuk bayi, ada pilihan sikat gigi karet, bulu, atau sikat gigi sarung untuk dipakai pada jari telunjuk ayah/ibu. Jika gigi sudah keluar lebih dari 8, bersihkan dengan sikat gigi bayi yang mempunyai ujung kecil dan berbulu halus, dengan kode ukuran P20, atau yang berbulu karet.

Selanjutnya, anak 1-5 tahun bisa memakai sikat dengan 3 deret bulu. Di usia 6 tahun ke atas (periode gigi geligi bercampur), selain sikat dengan 3 deret bulu dapat pula dipakai sikat dengan 4 deret bulu.

Jika memakai bulu sikat yang keras maka gusi akan mengalami abrasi. Jaringan gusi akan rusak sehingga akar gigi akan terbuka. Akar gigi yang tidak dilapisi email ini akan terasa ngilu ketika mengonsumsi makanan. Gantilah sikat gigi kalau bulunya sudah mekar atau tidak beraturan agar tidak melukai gusi.

Porsi Pasta Gigi

Pasta gigi tidak diwajibkan bagi bayi dan balita. Jadi, kalau anak tak mau, ya jangan dipaksa. Kenalkan saja secara perlahan. Pasta gigi pada prinsipnya dibuat dengan kandungan bahan-bahan pelindung permukaan gigi.

Salah satunya fluoride yang sampai kadar tertentu membuat gigi tetap kuat. Kandungan fluoride dalam pasta gigi anak umumnya masuk kategori aman. Namun sebaiknya, pilih pasta dengan kandungan fluoride paling sedikit. Ketika hendak menyikat gigi, oleskan pasta gigi sedikit saja, yakni tidak lebih dari ukuran sebutir kacang polong.

pada bayi laki-laki : bersihkan dengan seksama bagian bawah buah zakarnya.

note:
Bayi perempuan terkadang mengeluarkan haid selama 3-5hari. Ada juga yang buah dadanya membesar. Hal ini terjadi karena masih ada pengaruh dari sisa hormon ibu sewaktu hamil dan akan menghilang dengan sendirinya. Jangan dipijat. Tidak diperbolehkan sunat bagi wanita.

Pemberian Minum

ASI adalah makanan/ nutrisi yang TERBAIK untuk bayi
Berikan ASI secara teratur atau sesuai kebutuhan bayi

Tips Perawatan kulit bayi

2010-03-15T02:06:00.000-07:00

Kulit Bayi
sangat lembut dan membutuhkan banyak perawatan. Lapisan luar (dermis) belum sepenuhnya berkembang dengan elastis. Kulitnya rapuh sehingga rentan terhadap kerusakan dan sangat sensitif untuk disentuh.

Kulit bayi terdiri dari lapisan tipis. Dapat menyerap apa yang dioleskan pada permukaannya. Jadi, Anda harus berhati-hati dan bebaskan dari bahan berbahaya seperti lotion yang kuat. Aplikasikasikan krim khusus bayi, terutama di saat udara dingin untuk menjaga kulitnya tetap lentur dan elastis.

Karena produksi melanin (pigmen pelindung) pada bayi rendah, paparan sinar matahari sebaiknya dihindari, kecuali mungkin beberapa menit saat pagi hari untuk menyerap vitamin D dari sinar matahari. Terlalu banyak sinar matahari akan membakar kulitnya dan menyebabkan lecet.

Bayi memerlukan perawatan khusus terhadap kulit mereka dengan sering mengganti popok, terus-menerus mengelap dan pembersihan di bagian lampin, serta di sekitar mulut dan hidung. Jika daerah-daerah ini tidak ditangani dengan hati-hati, kemungkinan infeksi dan kerusakan kulitnya semakin tinggi.

Hindari penggunaan penyebab iritasi seperti sabun dan deterjen. Selalu gunakan bahan khusus bayi untuk sabun dan shamponya saat mandi. Pastikan juga menggunakan krim dan lotion yang aman untuk digunakan.

Ketika anda menidurkan bayi anda pada suatu tempat, pastikan kembersihan daerah tersebut dengan menggunakan air hangat dan produk pembersih yang lembut. Bersihkan daerah kering dari debu ataupun bedak bayi yang tercecer dengan kain yang sangat lembut karena Ini membantu mengurangi gesekan antara kulit dan pakaian, dan menjaga terhadap penetrasi gangguan dari benda asing melalui media kulit.

Biasakan kulit bayi anda kering dan tidak lembab. Gunakan bedak setiap kali Anda merasa bahwa kulitnya menjadi lembab, terutama di sekitar di bagian lampin. Anda dapat menghindari kelembaban yang berlebihan dengan menggunakan krim dan lotion khusus bayi.

Pakaian bayi usahakan longgar. Misalnya saat tidur pada malam hari, gunakan kain tipis dari pada memakaikan flanel atau jaket. Pilih popok dan pakaian yang dia pakai terbuat dari katun halus yang lembut untuk disentuh. Pakaian longgar memungkinkan sirkulasi udara, dan menjaga bayi tetap kering dan nyaman, jauh dari kelembaban berlebihan.

Setelah bayi tumbuh, lebih mudah untuk menangani perawatan kulitnya karena kekebalan tubuhnya semakin tinggi tetapi tetap gunakan krim di saat dingin. Terlalu banyak manis dan makanan berlemak hanya akan menimbulkan gangguan pencernaan dan bintik-bintik.

Jika anak Anda menyukai permen, beri dia produk buatan sendiri. Anda dapat mengganti madu untuk gula, karena tidak hanya madu bergizi tetapi juga baik untuk kulit. Saatnya memperkenalkan anak anda jus buah segar sebagai pengganti minuman botol atau bahan instan lainnya.

Tanya Jawab Seputar Perawatan Bayi Baru Lahir

2010-03-07T22:17:00.000-08:00

Merawat bayi gampang-gampang susah. Bukan cuma butuh kesabaran, tapi perlu pengetahuan tentang perawatan yang benar. Tabloid nakita kembali menggelar Konsultasi Ahli. Kali ini mengenai "Perawatan Bayi Baru Lahir", dengan pakarnya, dr. Eric Gultom, Sp.A dari Subbagian Neonatologi RSUPN Cipto Mangunkusumo, Jakarta. Nah, berikut ini sejumlah pertanyaan yang diutarakan para ibu dan calon ibu dalam kesempatan tersebut.

Berapa lama tali pusat akan lepas? Apa yang harus dilakukan sebelum lepas?

Ada tali pusat yang lepas dalam waktu 5 hari, 7 hari, bahkan dua minggu. Perawatannya sangat sederhana. Mandikan bayi, gosok tali pusat dengan sabun. Keringkan dan bersihkan dengan alkohol 70 persen. Biarkan dalam keadaan terbuka, tak usah dibungkus-bungkus, kecuali infeksi. Jadi, jangan dipakaikan bedak, abu gosok atau dikunyahin sirih dan sebagainya. Nanti malah jadi tetanus dan sarang kuman.

Penggunaan antiseptik pun tak lagi dianjurkan, karena ada kandungan yodium. Kalau pemberiannya berlebihan menyebabkan gangguan terhadap pertumbuhan gondoknya. Pemakaian alkohol pun hanya digunakan sesudah mandi pagi dan sore.

Betulkah minyak kayu putih tak boleh diberikan sebelum anak usia 3 tahun?

Pemberian minyak kayu putih pada usia berapa saja tak masalah. Hanya ada dua faktor; seberapa besar konsentrasinya dan seberapa iritatif serta sensitif kulit si bayi. Tentunya konsentrasi minyak kayu putih yang asli, misal, dari Ambon, akan berbeda dengan yang sudah campuran. Yang asli akan terasa makin pedas. Faktor iritasi yang ditimbulkan pun berbeda. Semakin asli semakin beruntusan kulitnya.

Jadi, tak ada larangan orang tua memakaikan minyak kayu putih pada bayinya, tergantung seberapa iritatif dan sensitif kulitnya. Apalagi pori-pori kulit bayi lebih kecil dibanding pori-pori orang dewasa. Pori-pori ini digunakan untuk pernapasan kulit. Jika pori-pori tertutup dengan minyak, tak terjadi pernapasan kulit. Akibatnya, kulit jadi kemerahan. Solusinya, tak usah diberi obat macam-macam. Mandikan saja dan dikeringkan.

Bagaimana dengan pemberian bedak pada bayi?

Sebetulnya di Indonesia tak perlu penggunaan bedak, baby oil, baby lotion , dan segala macam. Sebab, tingkat kelembabannya tinggi, hingga permukaan kulit tak pernah kering. Praktek lain yang salah tentang bedak yaitu digunakan untuk membersihkan bekas kencing atau daerah-daerah yang basah karena keringat. Padahal, campuran bedak dan keringat adalah media yang baik untuk tumbuh kuman. Sementara permukaan kulit sendiri sudah penuh kuman. Itu sebab, bila tak mandi, terjadi pembusukan oleh bakteri yang ada di permukaan kulit. Apalagi di lipatan-lipatan seperti leher, selangkangan, yang lebih cepat terjadi pembusukan.

Memang tak menyebabkan kematian, tapi banyak beruntusan, dan kadang ada nanah-nanah kecil di lipatan seperti leher. Solusinya, bayi dimandikan. Jangan pakai air panas, kecuali di daerah yang dingin sekali. Pakailah sabun bayi atau sabun khusus, selain untuk membersihkan juga menghambat tumbuhnya kolonisasi kuman.

Bolehkah pemberian minyak kelapa pada biang keringat?

Tidak, karena akan menutup pori-porinya.

Berapa kali bayi buang air besar dalam sehari?

Bila bayi minum ASI, BAB-nya bisa 12-15 kali dalam sehari. Bahkan, kadang sambil menyusu pun ia BAB, karena enzim pencernaannya belum bekerja baik, gerakan peristaltik ususnya bekerja terus dan lebih hebat, hingga waktu menyusu dia langsung BAB otomatis saja. Semakin berjalannya waktu, enzimnya semakin sempurna, ASI-nya makin bisa ditahan untuk diserap dulu dan sisanya baru dibuang. Jadi, bayi sering BAB bukan mencret, mau pintar atau ngenteng-ngentengin badan.

Bagaimana kalau bayi diare?

Kalau mencret pasti ada lendir dan darah, jadi ada luka. Di bawah usia sebulan, mencret pada bayi adalah tanda infeksi. Ibu harus hati-hati. Sebelumnya bayi kelihatan tak mau minum, rewel dan menangis. Anak yang diare harus minum obat. Selama bayinya tak muntah, pemberian ASI bisa menolong.

Bolehkah bayi tidur di ruang ber-AC?

Tak apa-apa, misal, dengan suhu 24-23 derajat Celcius atau bahkan 16 derajat Celcius, tak masalah. Kalau ibu merasa mungkin bayinya kedinginan, bisa diselimuti. Pemakaian kipas angin pun boleh.

Benarkah bayi menangis berarti melatih paru-parunya?

Bayi menangis karena ada sesuatu seperti kaget, kolik. Jadi, tak ada hubungannya dengan latihan paru-paru. Malah kalau terlalu banyak menangis akan buang energi dan si bayi jadi lemas.

Bagaimana mengatasi bayi kembung? Perlukah pemakaian minyak telon?

Bayi ditelungkupkan/ditengkurapkan. Kalau banyak angin di perutnya, akan keluar kentut. Sebab, dengan ditelungkupkan, gas di perut akan mencari tempat yang lebih tinggi untuk kemudian keluar. Pemakaian minyak telon jika berdasarkan keyakinan ibu tak apa-apa, maka silakan. Asal tahu, minyak telon bisa menyebabkan kulit bayi merah-merah, meski tak membahayakan. Tapi memang itu sifatnya iritasi.
Bagaimana membersihkan alat kelaminnya?

Bersihkan dengan cebok dan pakai sabun. Saat mandi, bayi laki-laki bagian kulupnya ditarik dan dibersihkan pakai sabun, karena banyak sisa-sisa kencing. Apalagi bila pakai pampers. Bisa juga membersihkannya sehabis pipis, bayi dipegangi di wastafel, bersihkan bekas pipisnya dengan air keran yang mengalir, pakaikan sabun, keringkan dan pakaikan celana pendek.
Bolehkah bayi diurut?

Tidak, karena tak ada gunanya. Kalau bayinya jatuh, tampak kesakitan dan tak bisa diam atau nangis-nangis , maka rontgen saja, tak usah diurut-urut.

Berat badan saya naiknya banyak, bolehkah setelah melahirkan saya diet?

Selama hamil, kenaikan berat badan memang harus diatur agar jangan jadi darah tinggi. Tapi, kalau selama menyusui sebaiknya tidak diet karena nanti ASI-nya jadi tak banyak. Kalau sudah selesai masa menyusui, silakan.

Hindari di ruang yang ada AC terlalu lama tanpa memakai pelembab yang cukup. Begitu pula hindari sering naik pesawat udara, terkena sinar UV matahari dan stress.
Gunakan tabir surya dalam bentuk krim dengan SPF 15 yang boleh digunakan pada bagian leher pada pagi hari bila ingin keluar rumah atau ke kantor.
Perlu tidur yang cukup, karena kurang tidur dapat membuat muka kita terlihat seperti lelah dan kulit terlihat kendor.
Kurangi alkohol, kafein dan merokok. Atau jika bisa tidak sama sekali.
Perbanyak makan buah serta sayuran.
Perbanyak jalan kaki, agar nantinya proses kelahiran dapat berjalan lebih lancar.

Penyakit Kulit Bayi

1. Definisi
Penyakit kulit adalah suatu penyakit yang berhubungan dengan jaringan penutup permukaan tubuh, seperti kulit yang sering terjadi dan bersifat relatif ringan. Meskipun bersifat relatif ringan, apabila tidak ditangani secara serius, maka hal tersebut dapat memperburuk kondisi kesehatan bayi dan anak.

2. Epidemiologi
Penyakit kulit terdapat di seluruh dunia dan dapat menyerang baik laki-laki dan perempuan. Pada beberapa penyakit kulit seperti staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome, laki-laki lebih banyak terserang daripada wanita.

3. Penyebab
Penyebab penyakit kulit, yaitu bakteri (kuman gram positif staphyllococcus, streptococcus β hemolyticus grup A), virus (Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV)), jamur (dematormikosis, kandidosis) dan infestasi oleh parasit.

Selain itu gangguan hormonal, gangguan pigmentasi, kelainan yang didasari alergi-imunologi dan tumor kulit, serta kelainan sistemik yang disertai gejala kulit dapat menyebabkan terjadinya Penyakit kulit tersebut. Penyebabnya bisa juga karena higiene kulit bayi kurang terawat.

4. Patofisiologi
Higiene yang kurang dan menurunnya daya tahan tubuh menyebabkan bakteri, virus, jamur dan parasit mudah masuk ke dalam tubuh. Pada penyakit kulit yang disebabkan oleh bakteri dan virus, infeksi dapat menyebar ke seluruh tubuh melalui aliran darah. Sedangkan pada penyakit kulit akibat infestasi parasit seperti sarcoptes scabiei yang hidup dirambut dan bertelur disana.

Siklus hidupnya melalui stadium telur, larva, nimfa dan dewasa. Kelainan kulit yang timbul akibat dari garukan gatal akibat sensitisasai terhadap sekret dan ekskret sarcoptes kurang lebih sebulan setelah infestasi. Pada saat itu kelainan kulit menyerupai dermatitis dengan ditemukannya papul, vesikel, urtika, dll. Gerukan dapat menimbulkan erosi, ekskoriasi, krusta dan infeksi sekunder.

Perawatan Bayi Prematur

2010-02-12T18:15:00.000-08:00

Perawatan bayi prematur ternyata tidaklah sesulit yang dibayangkan. Asal tahu langkah-langkahnya, kondisi si mungil akan semakin mantap.

Manusia boleh berencana, tapi Tuhan-lah yang menentukan. Usia kehamilan boleh jadi sudah dihitung cermat. Segala persiapan menyambut si kecil pun sudah dilakukan. Namun belum genap berusia 37 minggu, si jabang bayi sudah lahir karena satu dan lain hal. Kelahiran yang lebih awal dari waktu semestinya tentulah membawa serangkaian efek. Tak heran kalau bayi prematur perlu mendapat perawatan istimewa.

SAMAKAN PERSEPSI

Apa yang dimaksud bayi prematur, menurut dr. Hari Martono, SpA., adalah bayi yang lahir belum cukup bulan.

Berdasarkan kesepakatan WHO, belum cukup bulan ini dibagi lagi menjadi 3, yaitu:

* Kurang bulan adalah bayi yang lahir pada usia kurang dari 37 minggu.
* Sangat kurang bulan adalah bayi yang lahir pada usia kurang dari 34 minggu.
* Amat sangat kurang bulan adalah bayi yang lahir pada usia kurang dari 28 minggu.

Makin pendek usia kehamilan ibu, maka kemungkinan terjadinya komplikasi pada bayi makin besar. Selain penggolongan berdasarkan usia kehamilan, ahli lain menggolongkan bayi prematur berdasarkan berat badan saat lahir. "Bayi-bayi yang lahir dengan berat badan di bawah 2.500 gram, ada yang mengategorikannya sebagai bayi prematur," lanjut dokter spesialis anak dari RS Pondok Indah, Jakarta ini.

BERAGAM MASALAH YANG MUNCUL

Salah satu alasan yang harus dipertimbangkan ibu hamil dalam memilih tempat bersalin adalah kecukupan alat untuk membantu persalinan. "Kalau terlahir prematur, mau tidak mau bayinya pasti dirujuk ke RS yang mempunyai peralatan lengkap," tambahnya. Mengapa harus begitu? Lebih jauh Hari menjelaskan, "Bagaimanapun bayi yang terlahir belum cukup bulan, memiliki kemampuan beradaptasi yang masih sangat rendah dengan dunia luar. Organ-organ tubuhnya pun belum berkembang sempurna."

Seharusnya, di minggu-minggu tersebut si bayi masih berada dalam kandungan dengan segala kenyamanannya, dan bukan malah berjuang keras beradaptasi dengan dunia luar. Sebagai akibatnya, jelas ada serangkaian dampak yang mungkin muncul menyusul kelahiran yang belum waktunya:

* gagal napas (asfiksia)

Belum matangnya organ tubuh, terutama paru-paru, memungkinkan bayi prematur mengalami gagal napas. Untuk mengatasinya, dokter akan melakukan resusitasi (usaha bernapas kembali dengan pernapasan buatan atau pijat dan rangsang jantung).

* gangguan otak

Bila gagal napas dibiarkan saja, bukan tak mungkin akibat yang lebih serius akan dialami bayi prematur. Contohnya kerusakan pada otak yang merupakan organ tubuh yang vital.

* pembuluh darah tidak menutup

Sebelum lahir, ada pembuluh darah yang digunakan bayi untuk bernapas. Pembuluh darah ini seharusnya menutup dengan sendirinya begitu bayi lahir. Namun karena lahir prematur, bisa jadi pembuluh darah tersebut tetap terbuka, sehingga menimbulkan serangkaian masalah.

* saluran cerna belum berfungsi penuh

Saluran cerna yang belum matang juga akan menimbulkan dampak pada bayi prematur. Ditambah lagi refleks isap dan kemampuan menelannya yang belum berfungsi dengan baik. ASI bisa diberikan melalui pipet plastik bila bayi belum kuat mengisap langsung dari ibunya. Setelah lahir, sebaiknya si bayi tidak dipuasakan terlalu lama. Idealnya, sekitar 24-72 jam pertama ia sudah mendapat tambahan nutrisi. Bila perlu, manfaatkan cairan infus.

* kuning

Fungsi hati yang belum maksimal akan menyebabkan hemoglobin menumpuk karena tidak bisa diproses. Akibatnya, bayi menjadi kuning.

* infeksi

Kalau bayi cukup bulan saja berkemungkinan memiliki daya tahan tubuh yang relatif masih rendah, apalagi bayi yang lahir prematur. Salah satu masalah yang mungkin timbul adalah mudahnya ia terkena infeksi.

PERAWATAN DI RUMAH SAKIT

Yang pasti, bayi lahir prematur memerlukan perawatan yang lebih intensif, "Karena dia masih membutuhkan lingkungan yang tidak jauh berbeda dari lingkungannya selama dalam kandungan," kata Hari. Oleh karena itu, di rumah sakit bayi prematur akan mendapatkan perawatan sebagai berikut:

* dimasukkan dalam inkubator

Inkubator berfungsi menjaga suhu bayi supaya tetap stabil. Akibat sistem pengaturan suhu dalam tubuh bayi prematur belum sempurna, maka suhunya bisa naik atau turun secara drastis. Ini tentu bisa membahayakan kondisi kesehatannya. Selain itu, otot-ototnya pun relatif lebih lemah. Sementara cadangan lemaknya juga lebih sedikit dibanding bayi yang lahir cukup bulan.

* pencegahan infeksi

Mudahnya bayi prematur terinfeksi menjadikan hal ini salah satu fokus perawatan selama di RS. Pihak RS akan terus mengontrol dan memastikan jangan sampai terjadi infeksi karena bisa berdampak fatal.

* minum cukup

Bagi bayi, susu adalah sumber nutrisi yang utama. Untuk itulah selama dirawat, pihak RS harus memastikan si bayi mengonsumsi susu sesuai kebutuhan tubuhnya. Selama belum bisa mengisap dengan benar, minum susu dilakukan dengan menggunakan pipet.

* memberikan sentuhan

Selama bayi dibaringkan dalam inkubator bukan berarti hubungan dengan ibunya harus putus. Justru, ibu sangat disarankan untuk terus memberikan sentuhan pada bayinya. Bayi prematur yang mendapat banyak sentuhan ibu menurut penelitian menunjukkan kenaikan berat badan yang lebih cepat daripada jika si bayi jarang disentuh.

* membantu beradaptasi

Bila memang tidak ada komplikasi, perawatan di RS bertujuan membantu bayi beradaptasi dengan lingkungan barunya. Setelah suhunya stabil dan dipastikan tidak ada infeksi, bayi biasanya sudah boleh dibawa pulang. Namun, ada juga sejumlah RS yang menggunakan patokan berat badan. Misalnya bayi baru boleh pulang kalau beratnya mencapai 2 kg kendati sebenarnya berat badan tidak berbanding lurus dengan kondisi kesehatan bayi secara umum.

5 LANGKAH PERAWATAN DI RUMAH

Setelah kondisinya memungkinkan dan memenuhi persyaratan, tentu saja bayi boleh dibawa pulang. "Tapi untuk bayi prematur, sebaiknya 3 hari setelah dibawa pulang segera kontrol kembali ke dokter untuk memastikan bahwa tidak ada masalah apa pun selama kepulangannya."

Nah, apa saja 5 langkah yang harus dilakukan ketika bayi berada di rumah?

1. Minum susu

Bayi prematur membutuhkan susu berprotein tinggi. Namun dengan kuasa Tuhan, ibu-ibu hamil yang melahirkan bayi prematur dengan sendirinya akan memproduksi ASI yang proteinnya lebih tinggi dibanding ibu yang melahirkan bayi cukup bulan. Kalaupun si ibu mengalami masalah dengan ASI-nya, ada susu khusus yang memang diperuntukkan bagi bayi prematur. Yang harus diingat, karena kapasitas saluran cernanya masih amat terbatas, maka pemberian susu sebaiknya jangan terlalu banyak. Namun agar kebutuhannya tercukupi, tingkatkan frekuensi pemberiannya.

2. Jaga suhu tubuhnya

Salah satu masalah yang dihadapi bayi prematur adalah suhu tubuh yang belum stabil. Oleh karenanya, orang tua harus mengusahakan supaya lingkungan sekitarnya tidak memicu kenaikan atau penurunan suhu tubuh bayi. Langkah yang bisa ditempuh dengan menempati kamar yang tidak terlalu panas ataupun dingin. Begitu juga saat memandikannya, jaga jangan sampai air yang digunakan untuk memandikannya terlalu panas atau terlalu dingin sehingga bakal mempengaruhi suhu tubuhnya.

3. Pastikan semuanya bersih

Seperti sudah disebutkan di atas, bayi prematur lebih rentan terserang penyakit dan infeksi. Karenanya orang tua harus berhati-hati menjaga keadaan si kecil supaya tetap bersih sekaligus meminimalisir kemungkinan terserang infeksi. Salah satu langkah penting yang disarankan Hari adalah imbauan bagi siapa saja yang akan memegang bayi supaya mencuci tangan terlebih dahulu. Kalau ada anggota keluarga yang sakit pun sebaiknya jauh-jauh saja dari si kecil.

4. BAK dan BAB

BAK dan BAB bayi prematur masih terhitung wajar kalau setelah disusui lalu dikeluarkan dalam bentuk pipis atau pup. Menjadi tidak wajar apabila tanpa diberi susu pun bayi terus BAK atau BAB. Untuk kasus seperti ini tak ada jalan lain kecuali segera membawanya ke dokter.

5. Berikan stimulus yang sesuai

Setelah dipastikan 4 hal di atas tidak ada masalah, orang tua tidak perlu khawatir untuk melakukan aktivitas rutin lainnya. Semisal mengajaknya bermain, menimang, menggendong dan sebagainya. Untuk merangsang indra penglihatannya, tunjukkan perbedaan warna gelap dan terang, gambar-gambar dan mainan berwarna cerah, serta ekspresi wajah ayah dan ibu. "Berikan stimulus yang sesuai dengan usianya," tandas Hari.

YANG HARUS DIWASPADAI

Namun Hari menegaskan mengenai adanya beberapa hal yang tetap harus diwaspadai orang tua sehubungan dengan perawatan bayi prematur. "Yang paling dikhawatirkan terjadinya infeksi," ungkapnya. Berikut beberapa tanda bahaya yang harus diperhatikan:

* perubahan suhu

Perubahan suhu ini bisa tinggi, bisa pula rendah. "Pokoknya, kalau suhunya tidak stabil, segera bawa ke dokter," sarannya. Pasalnya, perubahan suhu merupakan salah satu tanda
terjadinya infeksi pada bayi.

* rintihan

Coba cermati suara tangis si kecil. Bila suara tangisnya menyerupai rintihan, hampir bisa dipastikan ada yang tidak beres dengan tubuhnya. Rintihan ini bisa menjadi "sinyal" awal terjadinya infeksi.

* refleks isap lemah

Kecurigaan berikutnya bila refleks isapnya menjadi lemah. Orang tua bisa mendeteksi sendiri, biasanya bayi minum susunya seperti apa, sehingga perubahan sedikit saja dapat segera terdeteksi.

SETELAH DUA TAHUN, TAK ADA BEDANYA

Orang tua yang melahirkan bayi prematur tidak perlu cemas. Dengan perawatan yang benar, bayi-bayi prematur dapat menyusul ketertinggalannya dibanding teman-temannya yang lahir cukup bulan. "Ada masa di mana si bayi ini bisa 'mengejar' ketertinggalannya," ungkap Hari. Jadi, jangan heran kalau di usia 2 tahun, orang tidak dapat membedakan mana bayi yang lahir kurang bulan dengan bayi yang lahir cukup bulan. "Kalau pertumbuhannya optimal, tidak bisa dibedakan lagi kok," tandasnya pula.

Perawatan Tali Pusat Bayi

2010-02-07T22:20:00.000-08:00

Tali pusat atau umbilical cord adalah saluran kehidupan bagi janin selama dalam kandungan. Dikatakan saluran kehidupan karena saluran inilah yang selama 9 bulan 10 hari menyuplai zat-zat gizi dan oksigen ke janin. Tetapi begitu bayi lahir, saluran ini sudah tak diperlukan lagi sehingga harus dipotong dan diikat atau dijepit.

Sisa tali pusat yang masih menempel di perut bayi (umbilical stump), akan mengering dan biasanya akan terlepas sendiri dalam waktu 1-3 minggu, meskipun ada juga yang baru lepas setelah 4 minggu. Umumnya orangtua baru agak takut-takut menangani bayi baru lahirnya, karena keberadaan si umbilical stump ini. Meski penampakannya sedikit ’mengkhawatirkan’, tetapi kenyataannya bayi Anda tidak merasa sakit atau terganggu karenanya.

Perawatan tali pusat tersebut sebenarnya juga sederhana. Yang penting, pastikan tali pusat dan area sekelilingnya selalu bersih dan kering. Selalu cuci tangan dengan menggunakan air bersih dan sabun sebelum membersihkan tali pusat. Selama ini, standar perawatan tali pusat yang diajarkan oleh tenaga medis kepada orangtua baru adalah membersihkan atau membasuh pangkal tali pusat dengan alkohol. Rekomendasi terbaru dari WHO adalah cukup membersihkan pangkal tali pusat dengan menggunakan air dan sabun, lalu dikering anginkan hingga benar-benar kering. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tali pusat yang dibersihkan dengan air dan sabun cenderung lebih cepat puput (lepas) daripada tali pusat yang dibersihkan dengan alkohol.

Meski demikian, praktek membersihkan tali pusat dengan alkohol juga tidak sepenuhnya dilarang karena bahkan di beberapa negara maju pun masih diterapkan. Pertimbangannya, tali pusat yang dirawat tanpa menggunakan alkohol terkadang mengeluarkan aroma (tetap tidak menyengat). Hal inilah yang membuat orangtua merasa khawatir. Bila orangtua ragu untuk menentukan cara mana yang akan diterapkan, lebih baik diskusikan dengan dokter.

Selama belum tali pusatnya puput, sebaiknya bayi tidak dimandikan dengan cara dicelupkan ke dalam air. Cukup dilap saja dengan air hangat. Alasannya, untuk menjaga tali pusat tetap kering. Jangan khawatir, bayi Anda tetap wangi meskipun hanya dilap saja selama seminggu. Bagian yang harus selalu dibersihkan adalah pangkal tali pusat, bukan atasnya. Untuk membersihkan pangkal ini, Anda harus sedikit mengangkat (bukan menarik) tali pusat. Tenang saja, bayi Anda tidak akan merasa sakit. Sisa air atau alkohol yang menempel pada tali pusat dapat dikeringkan dengan menggunakan kain kasa steril atau kapas. Setelah itu kering anginkan tali pusat. Anda dapat mengipas dengan tangan atau meniup-niupnya untuk mempercepat pengeringan. Tali pusat harus dibersihkan sedikitnya dua kali dalam sehari.

Tali pusat juga tidak boleh ditutup rapat dengan apapun, karena akan membuatnya menjadi lembab. Selain memperlambat puputnya tali pusat, juga menimbulkan resiko infeksi. Kalaupun terpaksa ditutup (mungkin Anda ’ngeri’ melihat penampakannya), tutup atau ikat dengan longgar pada bagian atas tali pusat dengan kain kasa steril. Pastikan bagian pangkal tali pusat dapat terkena udara dengan leluasa. Bila bayi Anda menggunakan popok sekali pakai, pilihlah yang memang khusus untuk bayi baru lahir (yang ada lekukan di bagian depan). Dan jangan kenakan celana atau jump-suit pada bayi Anda. Sampai tali pusatnya puput, kenakan saja popok dan baju atasan. Bila bayi Anda menggunakan popok kain, jangan masukkan baju atasannya ke dalam popok. Intinya adalah membiarkan tali pusat terkena udara agar cepat mengering dan lepas.

Biarkan tali pusat lepas dengan sendirinya. Jangan memegang-megang atau bahkan menariknya meskipun Anda gemas melihat bagian tali pusat yang ’menggantung’ di perut bayi hanya tinggal selembar benang. Orangtua dapat menghubungi dokter bila tali pusat belum juga puput setelah 4 minggu, atau bila terlihat adanya tanda-tanda infeksi, seperti; pangkal tali pusat dan daerah sekitarnya berwarna merah, keluar cairan yang berbau, ada darah yang keluar terus- menerus, dan/atau bayi demam tanpa sebab yang jelas. Setelah tali pusat, terkadang pusar bayi terlihat menonjol (bodong). Dalam budaya kita ada anjuran untuk menempelkan uang logam (binggel) di atas pusar bayi setelah tali pusatnya puput. Tujuannya agar pusar anak tidak menonjol (bodong). Padahal tanpa diberi pemberat pun (uang logam), lama-lama tonjolan terebut akan menghilang. Dan sesungguhnya, pusar bodong atau tidak lebih dipengaruhi oleh faktor genetik (EG)

Because no one else understands my obsession with Ralph Macchio like she does

2009-11-18T08:18:00.000-08:00

My heart hurts today.

I'm going to just cut to the chase - My friend Anissa Mayhew had a stroke yesterday and today she is in the ICU. I am completely devastated by this news. Anissa is a new friend, I only just met her in July at the BlogHer conference, but I feel like I've known her forever. If you know her you probably feel the same, she just has that way about her - instantly likable. As news spread of her condition over Twitter and the internet the outpouring of love from the people who know her, both online and off, was amazing and inspiring. She is truly a loved person.

Anissa is a mother of three, a wife, a fellow blogger, founder of the fabulous community blog Aiming Low, Ralph Macchio's other biggest fan, and the most wonderful person you'd ever hope to meet. Like most, I'm worried for both Anissa and her family. If you feel like I do there are things you can do to help.

First, pray for her. Or if you have a hard time with praying, keep her in your thoughts. I believe in the power of positive thinking in times like these so send her some good juju.

Second, go here. A PO Box has been set up to receive any items you may went to send to the Mayhew family. Gift cards are important right now to help defer the cost of keeping her children occupied and fed. Anyone who has had a loved one in the hospital for an extended stay knows how difficult and disruptive it is for the family, especially small children, and home cooked meals are hard to come by when you're eating on the run. Please consider giving something, even if it's just something that will make her laugh. She loves to laugh.

Anissa is the most magnificent person with a smile that could light up whole cities. Last night was a dark one. I missed seeing her in my Twitter stream desperately.

I love you, Anissa! If anyone is going to make it through this, you are. Ralph Macchio is counting on you!!

Sometimes a cough is just a cough and not the end of days

2009-11-09T07:04:00.000-08:00

Flu hysteria is solidly upon us, and by "us" I mean the country. I'm still only mildly concerned, but as the season progresses and more kids get sick (Hello, my town's high school was closed for five days due to an outbreak of what might have been H1N1. Freaking out? Me? Nooo.... Um.), mildly is slowly making its way toward moderately. If I watch another 60 Minutes expose on this flu I may be purchasing child-sized hamster balls dipped in Purell, but for now I'm still walking on the mild side.

In my house, we can't even get the flu shots, whether seasonal or H1N1. I did manage to get the seasonal flu shot for CC last week but as of today there are no boosters. Who knows when they'll get more. We're on the list. I'm starting to resent "the list". I have no faith in it. "Lists" can not be trusted.

As for Chicky, I have had no luck in getting her any flu vaccine. The kids' pediatrician simply does not have any for the 3 year and older group. According to the medical group's website, as of last week they had ordered 40,000 doses of the seasonal flu vaccine but so far have only received 1,400. I check their website regularly hoping for an update and we're on another notify list when the shots become available [*grumble*], but it all comes down to who gets an appointment the quickest. And don't get me started on flu clinics in the area dolling out the H1N1 vaccine. I can't, and won't, stand in line for 4 hours for the slight possibility of getting my kids vaccinated only to be turned away because they ran out.

Normally I don't fall for sickness hype. I'm not the type to watch the news and get freaked out because of the latest flu scare because I am simply too laid back about things like that, and if you got a good look at my carpets you would agree. Germs don't scare me, (some) germs are good. They build up immunity. That's why I let my kids lick the d ogs, they're working on their antibodies. Also, I know that despite my best efforts to keep everyone's hands cleaned (which I do now, obsessively) and surfaces properly Lysol'd, we'll probably end up with at least one if not all of us sick this year. I have one child in school and the other who has a strong need to taste the world, no matter how gross and germ infested. I also have a husband who travels extensively, and as everyone knows an airplane is just a flying petri dish rapidly growing new and interesting viruses. Will we get sick this year? Oh, you betcha. At this point I'm hoping we won't get as sick as we possibly could.

But what about other sicknesses not related to any sort of flu virus? Like, say, the common cold?

Mr. C told me about a satirical cartoon he saw in a magazine, where a sign was posted outside of an eating establishment that read, "No shoes, no shirts, no service, no children under 16 with a cough." Or something to that effect. Satire, yes, but this seems to be the prevalent mood in most public spaces since news of the H1N1 virus caught fire. Every major news outlet is running stories on the so called Swine Flu and the devastating effect it can have on a person's body. Vaccinate your kids! Vaccinate yourself! Stay away from sick people! Every time I turn on the TV I see the same thing - Chicken Little in a conservative suit and heavily sprayed hair clucking about the flu.

Maybe I'm exaggerating a little but honestly, I'm surprised there hasn't been a color coded alert created for flu outbreaks posted on the front doors of public spaces.

As parents, where do we draw the line between keeping our kids safe and healthy and making little Timmy cry because he has a runny nose and can't go to playgroup?

Back in late September Chicky had a low grade fever, a cough and was sneezing so I kept her home from school for a couple of days, as I was supposed to do. You just don't mess around with a fever, especially when combined with other symptoms. She was fever free for a couple of days but still had the cough so I continued to keep her home.

After five days of being quarantined I thought it would be safe to send her to her weekly gymnastics class. I waffled since she still had the cough but I had something to do that morning and after discussing it with my mother in law, who was taking Chicky that day, we decided she was definitely well enough to go. When she was brought home later that evening she was very quiet and not herself and it seemed like it had nothing to do with her getting over a cold. It took me awhile but I finally found out that the source of her sour mood was the lecture the entire gymnastics class got about not coming to the gym while sick.

I asked her if any of the other girls were coughing and she said, No. I asked her if her coaches talked to grandma and grandpa and she said, No (My in-laws later confirmed that). I asked her how she felt about what her coaches said to her class and she shrugged without looking at me and said she wanted to go to bed. She clearly knew they were referring to her.

I was livid.

Not then and not since has any of the gymnastics coaches, and there's three of them, talked to the parents directly about when to send the kids to class and when to keep them home due to sickness (or anything else for that matter, but I won't get into that right now). There are printed guidelines that were given out at the beginning of class and I followed them to the letter, and yet my child was made to feel like she was doing something wrong because she had a cough. A cough, I might add, that she still has more than a month later. A cough, I will also add, that her doctor doesn't seem to be all that concerned with because it's just a damn cough. She didn't have any sort of flu, she wasn't even going to pass a banal head cold off to anyone else. And if she did, so what? It's a cold. The sky is not falling. A little bit of clear mucous, yes, but the sky? No.

I don't think we'll be returning to that gymnastics center when this session is over.

So where does the hysteria end? Are we going to start ostracizing kids with a history of sniffles? Hand out masks at play centers and schools and any other place kids might gather? Maybe a velvet rope and a check at the door, a la Studio 54, and turn away those who seem sick and allow only the seemingly well in? Internment camps maybe?

Obviously, I'm a little sore about the whole subject. In my mind, it's a case of common sense versus hysteria. But how do you feel about it? Would you take your kid out of a public space because another child he or she was interacting with was coughing or sneezing? Would you feel resentful of the parent for bringing their child out in public, even if you didn't know for sure how sick the kid was? Or would you just take out the sani-wipes and start spot cleaning everything around you in a twenty foot radius?

CC and I went to a local children's store today to exchange a hat and mitten set I had bought for Chicky. Despite my insistence she stop growing, she seemed to have had a growth spurt and needed a larger size. We were just going to run in, get the next size up, and leave because I had many more errands to do before we needed to head back to preschool for pickup when a family caught my attention on my way to the hat display.

There was a woman about my age with her two young children, the oldest barely out of infancy and the little one around 4 months old, accompanied by someone I assumed to be the woman's mother. The grandmother was pushing the double stroller, casually picking up whatever full price item she liked and adding them to the already huge pile of clothing hanging from the stroller's handle, while the younger woman looked over the racks of discounted 6 month-sized outfits.

"Do the kids have matching Christmas pajamas yet?" she asked her daughter, and without waiting for an answer she added two more pairs of pajamas to her stack. The daughter, seeing what her mother did, sighed with what seemed to be exasperation and went back to looking at the sales rack, shaking her head. She seemed resigned to her mother's shopping spree.

Try as I might I couldn't stop my throat from constricting and my eyes from tearing up. It was exactly something my mom would have done. I could easily put myself in that woman's place and my mom in her mom's. Mom would have spoiled her granddaughter's silly and would have ignored all my pleas to stop buying them things they didn't need. Secretly, of course, I would have loved every second, knowing how much pleasure she would get from dressing up the girls. She would have bought them little trinkets for no reason other than she saw something they would have liked and they were never far from her mind. It would never be about the purchase but what she could do to make her grandchildren happy. All at once I was overcome with longing for the inevitable bickering between us. Five hundred different emotions hit me all at one time.

I coughed, dabbing at my eyes while I knelt down pretending to look at a satin holiday dress I had no intention of buying, willing myself to not turn into a huge puddle of tears in the middle of the store. Sweat started to pool between my shoulder blades and behind my neck. I was alternately furious at the hand life had dealt us and overcome with loss, both for me and my girls. I had a hard time seeing through my anger at the younger woman. I couldn't think straight because I was too busy imagining myself in her place. Honestly, I wanted to shove her for not seeing how good she had it.

Leaving the store seemed like a very good idea at that moment. In my haste I almost forget to grab the larger hat and I would have if I hadn't snagged the arm of my coat on the rack as I rushed by. With it in hand, I pushed the stroller containing a very tired and cranky CC toward the register and waited for the lone sales associate to ring up the three customers in front of me. While we waited the grandmother and her overflowing stroller got in line behind us and CC, the social creature that she is, waved furiously at the woman.

"Hi!" she called. "Hi!!"

"Hi to you," the grandmother replied with a smile. "What a pretty hat you have. Did your mommy get you that hat?"

"Hi!" CC answered. She put her hands in front of her eyes. "Boo!" She cackled at her own game.

The older woman laughed and returned the gesture. "Peek-a-boo!" CC roared with laughter.

I didn't say anything, just smiled and tried to stop the prickly feeling behind my eyes from coming back. So many things my mom missed.

Finally it was my turn at the register. Beside it was a display of fleecy holiday pajamas. Normally I'm put off by those displays, obviously intended to entice the shoppers in line to put more in their cart, but this time I grabbed two pairs, size 12 months and 4T, and put them on the counter with the hat.

"Did you find everything you were looking for today?" the girl asked me.

You don't have what I need in this store, I wanted to say.

"Yes," I answered. In a shaky hand, I signed my name on the credit card machine.

The grandmother smiled at me as I gathered up the shoe CC had thrown while waiting for me. "She's beautiful," she said. "I bet she'll look really cute in those pajamas."

Tears were threatening again. "Thanks," I mumbled over my shoulder as I turned to leave.

I placed the bag with the Christmas pajamas on the handle of our stroller while CC yelled, "Bye bye!" all the way out the door.

Kenali Penyebab Gumoh Bayi

2009-10-29T19:59:00.000-07:00

Kenali Penyebab Bayi Muntah. Di awal-awal kehidupannya, bayi sering memuntahkan sebagian ASI yang ditelannya. Normalnya, fenomena gumoh ini akan berkurang seiring dengan bertambahnya usia bayi, yakni di usia 12–16 minggu.

Kenali penyebabnya. Penyebab terjadinya gumoh pada bayi memang bisa bermacam-macam. Di antaranya adalah:

Volume lambung bayi masih kecil, sementara susu yang ditelan bayi melebihi kapasitas lambung. Ini penyebab paling umum. Masalahnya makin menjadi karena bayi senang menggeliat. Padahal, gerakan ini membuat tekanan dalam perut tinggi, sehingga jadi gumoh. Sebenarnya, gumoh masih normal sepanjang jumlah cairan yang keluar dan masuk seimbang.
Klep penutup lambung bayi belum sempurna. Dari mulut, susu akan masuk ke saluran pencernaan atas, baru kemudian ke lambung. Nah, di antara kedua organ tersebut terdapat klep penutup lambung. Pada bayi, klep ini biasanya belum sepenuhnya berfungsi sempurna. Akibatnya, kalau ia langsung ditidurkan setelah disusui, dan juga menggeliat, susu akan keluar dari mulut. Untuk mengurangi gumoh, berikan susu sedikit demi sedikit.
Menangis berlebihan. Tangis seperti ini membuat udara yang tertelan juga berlebihan, sebagian isi perut bayi akan keluar. Memang, bisa jadi bayi Anda menangis karena tidak bisa menelan susu dengan sempurna. Kalau sudah begini, jangan teruskan pemberian ASI. Bisa-bisa, susu malah masuk ke dalam saluran napas dan menyumbatnya.

2009-10-09T07:16:00.000-07:00

Apparently, it takes another bet to force me out of hiding and writing on my blog again, but this is so worth it.

But let me back up a bit.

There comes a time in every person's life when they see the handwriting on the wall, where it is written in HUGE BLOCK SCREAMY LETTERS -

HEY, COTTAGE CHEESE ASS, PUT DOWN THE DOUGHNUT!

I've never been one to pay much mind to HUGE BLOCK SCREAMY LETTERS, especially when they're being insulting, so I kept eating the doughnuts. Lots of them. Because I love them dearly. Mostly the apple cider type because it is apple season around here and, oh my sweet jeebus! Have you ever tasted a fresh out of the fryer apple cider doughnut? Lightly sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar?? That's a little piece of heaven on earth right there, I'll tell ya. Uh huh. A little piece of doughy on the inside, crispy on the outside, fried in lard and covered in sugar heaven...

[Insert picture of me with a thought balloon over my head with a picture of a warm apple cider doughnut and a big goofy grin on my face here]

What I'm trying to say is, I may have partook of the baked goods a little too much lately. I've gained a bit of weight (a small child) and my jeans don't exactly fit anymore (sausage thighs) and after going through all that torture to find jeans that fit, well, that's just not acceptable. Also, I'm cheap and instead of buying new jeans that do fit I'm squeezing myself into jeans that don't fit and it's amazing I make it through the day without passing out at least twice from lack of oxygen.

I wish I could say this was a gradual process and it sort of snuck up on me but the truth of the matter is, most of my weight gain has happened since BlogHer in July. I had lost some weight before the conference (mainly to fit into those new jeans and as not to embarrass myself too much in front of size 0 boutique sales associates named Kimmy) but since I've been home it has been a nonstop baking and gorging extravaganza around here. And also more than a little late night Nutella eating. Straight out of the jar. Maybe a spoon was involved, but probably not. I have no shame.

And did I mention I broke my toe in June which made putting on a pair of sneakers really difficult? It's hard to exercise when you can't put on sneakers. May as well just sit on the couch with a full jar of hazelnut spread and practice my french kissing technique.

(No. Shame.)

I'm not the heaviest I've ever been but I'm close, and this is certainly the saggiest I've ever been. I waved at CC the other day while I was getting ready when I caught sight of myself in the bathroom mirror. My hand stopped saying hello but my upper arm flab was still flailing enthusiastically. Guess how I dealt with my sorrow.

Now, you might be saying to yourself, But Tania, why don't you stop eating so many cupcakes, and cookies and doughnuts and for heaven's sake take your head out of the Nutella jar and start working out. And to you I say,

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I love food and I love to bake, and as strongly as I feel for all things fatty and sugary I have equal hatred for working out. I hate the gym. I loathe everything about it. I lack the inclination and desire to go and honestly that steep monthly price tag for a gym membership is not enough to guilt me into dragging my saggy parts to a facility that smells like body odor to work out on weight machines that are really torture devices in disguise. Torture devices that may or may not have been wiped down after the guy with the back 'fro used it before me.

No, what I need is outside motivation - for instance, a) a team sport or b) a personal trainer who is waiting for me to show up, or c) someone to work out with each and every day who also has the same messed up schedule as I have. Since none of those are readily available since a) Team sports for women of a certain age (ahem) are hard to come by, b) did I mention I was cheap?, and c) okay, that's a possibility but that still requires actually going to a gym. And did I mention my broken toe that isn't broken anymore...? Do I need to continue? I've got a million excuses, none of them good. Bottom line, there is one thing that can properly motivate me to work out and that one thing is my desire to WIN.

And also to fit into these again.

My favorite jeans. I bought these for BlogHer '07. Then I got pregnant and haven't really worn them since. Sigh.

And maybe if I'm really good, maybe these.

Zexy. I'd like to order the ass too. Size small.

What's really not sitting well with me is the fact that I am of a certain age (ahem) and I can't shove cupcake after cookie down my gaping yap while washing it down with a big juicy steak and not expect that it's going to affect me adversely. I've been having some health concerns lately and it's high time I start taking care of myself better so that I can live long enough to be an annoying, pesky, meddling burden on my children.

Which brings me to the bet.

After chatting (okay, bitching) with Matthew from Childsplayx2 about how many pounds we've both gained since BlogHer (My misery! It loves company! Huzzah!) we realized the only thing that was going to motivate us to lose weight was our ultra competitive spirits and threats of public humiliation.

So we made a bet - Who can lose the bigger percentage of weight in six weeks.

Yes I realize I've already made a bet with him recently and I lost but this time the bet is more interesting and the stakes are higher. Much higher, and possibly wider, but without a doubt, more embarrassing.

The wager - The loser has to post a picture of himself (or herself, but let's face it it's going to be him) on their blog wearing spandex. And maybe a neon pink headband.

(Psst, anyone know where I can find a neon pink headband? You can send it directly to Matthew. Heh.)

The threat of not only stuffing my thighs into stretchy shorts but also posting photographic proof of it for the internet and friends and family to see is more than enough motivation to get my ass in gear and get healthy. Skinny jeans are a powerful motivator but fear is BETTER.

We started our bet yesterday, Thursday, October 8. I have until November 19th to lose a higher percentage of weight than Matthew. Since everyone knows men lose weight more easily than women, I'm going to need some help from the internets to keep me focused. I'll take suggestions for weight loss plans (I already know about the Shred. I lasted 3 days. That should tell you something.), diet tips, disgusting pictures to tape to my refrigerator... Anything.

Also, excuse my crankiness. I'm starving.

Wish me luck!

Starting weight as of October 8: 139.5 lbs

Lincahnya Bayiku…

Lincahnya Bayiku…. Anda mulai khawatir karena bayi anda terlalu lincah? jangan khawatri itu lah bentuk perkembangan yang bagus. jadi jangan khawatir lagi jika Lincahnya Bayiku…

Kepandaian merangkak ini biasanya dimulai ketika bayi sudah mulai bisa duduk sendiri. Tahap perkembangan bayi mulai belajar merangkak pada usia 6-10 bulan.
Selain merangkak biasa, bayi juga menggerakkan tubuhnya dengan mengesot. Dengan menggerakkan kaki dan tangannya ke depan sambil menyeret bokongnya. Ada bayi yang langsung merambat, ada pula bayi yang bisa langsung berdiri sambil berpegangan di kursi atau benda di sekitarnya.

Merangkak juga merupakan sarana untuk bayi melatih otot-otot tubuhnya sekaligus merangsang koordinasi anggota badan yang dikendalikan oleh otak. Anda bisa memberi kesempatan bayi merangkak tanpa memaksanya. Sediakan ruang bermain yang aman buat bayi bereksplorasi.

Cara terbaik untuk merangsang bayi merangkak adalah dengan meletakkan mainan favoritnya di depan bayi. Saat bayi mulai mengangkat kepalanya untuk mencari mainannya tadi biasanya bayi akan menggerakkan lutut dan kakinya untuk maju.

Hi, internet people. I've missed you.

I wrote a post - really, I did! And then Blogger ate it. Gluttonous bastard.

Two weeks with no posting - TWO WEEKS - and when I finally sit down to write something... Poof! It's gone. Off to the great internet junkyard in the sky. Or something like that. I can't even think of a decent metaphor, that's how ticked off I am.

It was brilliant! And pithy! With lovely descriptive images that would have made Hemingway weep! As far as you know, the damn thing is lost now so I can talk it up if I want to.

I give up. I think I'm going to go eat another leftover birthday cupcake and wallow. Peanut butter frosting is equally good for celebrating 37th birthdays and for wallowing.

Well Rope, it seems we've reached the end.

2009-09-01T04:29:00.000-07:00

My daughter and I are at war. All out, nuclear missile, weapons of mass destruction, war. W-A-R, WAR. What is it good for? That's right, absolutely nuthin'.

My heart hurts, my head is pounding and my throat is sore from yelling. And I'm pretty sure my neighbors are wondering who that crazy bitch is who moved in last year, the one who screeches at her kid. I've reached the end of my rope on more than one occasion over the past year and nothing I do seems to make any bit of difference. Not that screaming helps. Nope. That's just to release the frustration so things don't actually get broken. It doesn't work either.

Maybe it's the age? Her personality? My personality? It doesn't start out bad - I'm positive. I'm zen-mother-goddess. I praise, I reward, I praise, I reward, it devolves, I warn, I punish, I punish, I punish, I lose control, I scream. I do everything the experts tell me to do until it becomes clear it's not working and then it turns into a horrible shouting match. Doors are slammed, things are thrown. Everything, and I do mean everything, is a fight.

Hey Chicky, it's daytime!

No! It's not and you can't tell me it is. Hmmph.

But, but, the sun is shining. It's day. Really! Look! It's daytime.

NO!!! *screaming, crying, tantrum, slamming door, The End*

She's four, for Christ's sake. What's going to happen to us in the coming years if we can't get this sorted out now?

We don't have good days and bad days anymore. We have a good ten or twenty minute span followed by a few hours of hell. Or maybe we go a whole hour or two without arguing and I get comfortable and cocky and then she sets me off with her repeated insolence and rude, defiant behavior.

I want to wrap this up nicely with a pretty pink bow but there is nothing pretty or nice about ending the day with the both of us in tears. There are no learning moments, no future seen in soft-focus, only pain and frustration and fear. I fear that I'm failing her and by virtue of that, her sister who witnesses it all. These are essential years and I can't seem to get it right. It doesn't really bode well for the rest of their childhoods, you know?

I'm so tired. I was hoping by writing this I'd get some of this pressure off my chest and I'd feel better. Turns out, no. There's a list of child development specialists on my fridge that I can call, that I should call, so why does it feel like admitting defeat? Like I can't properly parent my child.

I sound like a broken record at this point. Feel free to move on. No humor, no cute stories. Nothing to see here. Move along.

And please ignore the screaming.

Teknik Membeli Baju Bayi

2009-08-27T23:18:00.000-07:00

Teknik Membeli Baju Bayi . baju, kain yang menutupi bagian tubuh. Mungkin Anda berpikir, selama ini Anda tak pernah memiliki masalah dengan membeli pakaian apa pun. Mungkin hanya sedikit masalah, kekecilan atau kebesaran, lalu apa bedanya dengan pakaian bayi? Perlu Anda ketahui Teknik Membeli Baju Bayi, bahwa ketika Anda salah memilih pakaian bayi, Anda juga bertaruh pada kesehatan bayi Anda.

1. Jangan beli dalam jumlah banyak di muka
Ketika Anda akan membeli persediaan pakaian untuk bayi saat mendekati hari kelahiran, usahakan membeli dengan jumlah cukup. Dalam artian, tak terlalu banyak, tak juga sedikit. Belilah dengan warna ‘aman’ atau netral. Karena Anda tak tahu pasti jenis kelamin, dan warna apa yang kira-kira pas dengannya hingga hari lahirnya, kan?

2. Pikirkan kepraktisan
Tak ada alasan Anda harus membeli pakaian bayi bermerek dan berharga mahal di awal-awal kelahirannya. Bayi baru lahir akan berkembang sangat cepat. Mungkin baju-baju bayinya hanya sempat dipakai beberapa kali saja. Kebanyakan waktu, si bayi hanya akan berbaring, plus mereka akan sering buang air.

3. Ukuran
Seperti kita tahu, bayi tumbuh dengan cepatnya. Ukuran-ukuran baju pun macam-macam. Biasanya ukurannya bertuliskan, “new born”, 3 bulan, 6 bulan, 9 bulan, 12 bulan, 18 bulan, 24 bulan, dan lainnya. Bahkan ada yang memberikan kisaran, misal 3-6 bulan. Untuk permulaan, Anda bisa membeli baju dengan ukuran untuk new born, lalu karena si kecil akan tumbuh cepat, Anda bisa membeli yang berukuran lebih besar. Agar Anda tak perlu membuang-buang uang untuk pakaian saja.

4. Kenyamanan
Kenyamanan sangat penting bagi bayi, juga untuk si ibu. Agar si kecil tidak repot dengan berbagai macam potongan baju dan agar mudah dipakaikan, belilah yang potongannya ‘normal’. Ada banyak pilihan pengait baju, dari kancing, velcro, risleting, dan sebagainya. Sebaiknya pilih pakaian bayi dengan pengait kancing jepret atau risleting.

5. Yang perawatannya mudah
Perhatikan pula bahan yang dibeli. Meski gaun terlihat lucu pada anak-anak, namun gaun dari bahan tulle hanya akan membuat si kecil teriritasi. Pilih katun, mudah dicuci sendiri dan lebih berguna.

Bad Mommy Confessional - Part 275,398 in a continuing series

2009-08-24T09:40:00.000-07:00

I've made some pretty magnificent fuck ups when it comes to my kids in my four years as a parent. I'm pretty stellar in the fuck up department anyway but when it comes to my kids I try to keep it to a minimum, which only makes each fuck up more of a train wreck.

Also, fuck up.

Take for instance that time two weeks ago when I got Chicky hyped up on the promise of Summer Camp. After being away from it for three weeks due to vacations and trivial things like dwindling bank accounts, she was desperate to go back to her preschool, where summer camp was being held.

For a week I counted down to that damn 3-day camp like it was the end of days, but way funner.

Then when the day finally came we had a spectacularly bad morning where no one (read: Everyone but me.) (Okay, everyone including me but I had to so the choice was taken out of my hands.) wanted to get ready to actually get out of the house and to the summer camp even though everyone (read: Chicky. And me. Please for someone to be taking my child.) so badly wanted to go but apparently not enough to actually get dressed or eat breakfast or willingly have their teeth brushed or anything.

Then the baby slept late. So I had to wake her up in order to get her fed, dressed and out the door.

Let me repeat that - I had to wake up the baby. On purpose.

And then, as we were just about to head out the door - Bowel movements for everyone!

Yes I just went there and I am unrepentant.

So we were late and I was snappy and Chicky was sulky and CC was stinky (Three of the lesser-known dwarfs that were cut when casting the original gang of seven. True story.) and none of this would have been bad or even out of the ordinary if I hadn't messed up my days and brought her to camp ON A WEEK SHE WASN'T SCHEDULED TO BE THERE.

Mother of the Year right here, baby. Now where the hell is my medal?

In front of her friends, their parents, and her teachers - and let's face it, God was probably there to witness it too, judging me. The preschool is in the bottom of a church, of course it is - I had to convince my child, who by now had backed herself in a corner like a frightened doe facing a shotgun, that she had to willingly leave her most favorite place on earth EVER, the place where she gets to run in the sprinklers and do crafts and have snack, to come home with me and her sister to do unfun stuff. Like play in the sprinklers and do crafts and have snack.

Uh uh, she was not going. She wasn't going and nothing anyone could do could convince her otherwise. She's stubborn, that one. Not sure where she gets that from.

So I cajoled - Come on, honey. Please come with Mama? We'll do lots of super fun stuff! We'll watch movies! We'll bake cookies! Anything! Just ask! A pound of flesh? You've got it! Take two, there's plenty where that came from.

And her teacher stood there, giving me that look. You know, that look? That, Aw, this kind of sucks for you, huh? But don't worry, we've all been through it and that alone should make you feel way better about screwing up your child's whole life forever and ever, look?

Okay I may have imagined that last bit. I doubt it, but maybe.

Please baby, Mama loves you. I'll buy you a donut! I'll buy you a toy! I'll buy you a damn pony, just please come with me so I can drown my shame in a chocolate frosted and large iced coffee.

The donut must have been the key because she came with me. And we drove to the nearest Dunkin Donuts while I heard all about how much she wanted to be at summer camp with her friends. How much she really wanted to go to school again. How much she really hated my guts.

Again, maybe I imagined that last part. Maybe?

And as we drove away from the donut shop I handed her the bag that held her precious sugar fix... and she immediately informed me that I had bought the wrong donut. Gee, what are the odds?

That kind of set the tone for the rest of the week. On a scale of one to ten, ten being accidentally mistaking my children for speed bumps and one being not washing a favorite blanket in time for bedtime, this fuck up fell probably around a four. Maybe a five. In the grand scheme it wasn't that bad and I'm sure I'll probably do much worse before my children finally flee the nest. As a matter of fact, I'm positive I will.

This? Was not so bad.

I try to remember the good moments when I'm going through a rough time. Like when I'm missing my mom I try to recall a happy memory and hold on to it because I don't have the real thing. When it comes to my kids, for the sake of this blog anyway, I try to put the good before the bad. This is a sort of diary for them as well as for me and I want them to know that no matter what, I love them fiercely. That's not to say I don't include the ugly bits here. I see no reason to shield anyone from the nasty parts of motherhood and I have always been forthright about this family's low patches.

That being said, things are not easy around here right now. Today was a particularly bad day, and it's not even 3pm. I'm too tired to write about it so I took a reasonably banal moment and documented it with a touch of tongue-in-cheek humor thrown in to make me, if not anyone else, laugh. It's not anything specific, maybe just a case of growing pains, but when people thank me for reminding them that this parenting gig is not so bad most of the time when I'm the one in need of reminding... I don't know. I guess I feel like a bit of a hypocrite.

So quick, quid pro quo - tell me how great this parenting gig really is.

Bayiku Kegemukan…!

Bayiku Kegemukan…!. para orang tua selalu memperhatikan kesehatan bayi mereka. maka dari itu jangan sampai bayi anda terlalu Bayiku Kegemukan…! kegemukan karena itu akan sangat mengganggu kesehatan mereka kelak. berikut ini adalah tabel kesehatan bayi pada tiap-tiap perkembangan mereka:

Bayi: Usia 0 sampai 1 tahun

But I'm keeping my black shit

2009-08-10T07:14:00.000-07:00

Friday afternoon, in the car:

Me: So, you heard John Hughes died, right?

Him: Who?

Me: [head threatening to explode] John Hughes? The man responsible for The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Planes, Trains and Automobiles and many, MANY other excellent movies? The man who created Duckie and Bender? And "Blane? His name is Blane? That's a major appliance, that's not a name."? The man responsible for the shaping of our formative years?? THAT John Hughes???

Him: Oh yeah, that guy. Yeah, I think I heard something about that. Too bad, huh?

Me: [Boom]

Me: Yes it is too bad that he died - but kind of ironic in a way. I was just writing a post drawing a connection between a character in The Breakfast Club and personal blogging, more specifically my personal blogging...

Him: Come again?

Me: I know, weird, right? But let me explain. You know Allison, how she's always carrying around that big bag...

Him: Allison?

Me: [Boom again] Ally Sheedy?

Him: Right. Go on.

Me: ... She's got that bag and she keeps it really close to her at all times until that scene with Andrew and Brian - sorry, Emilio Estevez and Anthony Michael Hall - where they compare what's in their wallets with each other...

Him: And Anthony Michael Hall's got the bad fake I.D.?

Me: Right! Very good. You were beginning to make me question this whole relationship of ours.

Him:

Me: So, Allison steals Brian's wallet and then gives it back and then the guys start comparing the stuff in their wallets and it's kind of personal and kind of silly but most important - they're connecting on a more intimate level...

Him: High school boys do not connect on an intimate level.

Me: [stink eye] It's a John Hughes movie. The boys are very in touch with their feelings. Kind of. Maybe?

Him: Continue.

Me: Okay, so. Wallets, fake I.D., nudie picture... The whole time Allison is there clutching that bag to her chest like her life depends on it and you can see in her eyes that she wants to share so badly she can hardly stand it but she's been so quiet up until now that she's torn -- Don't give me that look. I've seen the movie so many times, I know that she's torn -- so she asks them, Do you want to see what's in my bag? To which they say, No. Like, emphatically. No. She's weird and there's that whole high school social pecking order thing...

Him: You need to get out more.

Me: [ignoring] Finally she can't take it anymore and she, like, dumps her massive bag out in front of them -- and there is, like, a ton of shit in there. Like, it takes forever to dump everything out of that damn bag of hers - and she has to defend why she carries all that stuff with her at all times while the two guys pick through it with this mixture of disgust and curiosity. And in the end you can tell she's totally relieved that she did it. Like a weight has been lifted off her shoulder. But at the same time she's horrified of what she just did... A woman's bag is a very important, very sacred thing, you know.

Him: Yes, I know.

Me: And in the end it's all worth it. She gets the guy and they kiss and she takes a memento...

Him: That scene always pissed me off. Right, in a fit of superhuman strength she rips the patch off the arm of his jacket? How did she do that? My patches were all sewn on by my mom and there was no way some girl was going to rip those things off with her bare hands.

Me: I think it was ironed on. You're mom really sewed on all your patches? Wow.

Him: Yeah, and you're, like, talking like a teenager, like.

Me:

Him: So how is this like your blog exactly?

Me: Dude! The bag is a metaphor for all my feelings and stories! People everywhere are comfortable sharing bits of themselves online. Don't you see? They're opening up their wallets! They're dumping out their bags! And even though I've been blogging for almost FOUR YEARS I still play things pretty close to the vest, you know? I keep the contents of my bag pretty secret. I stick to the fringe. Lay low. Keep my hair in my eyes.

Him: Are we still speaking in metaphors?

Me: Sort of. I can't wait until these damn bangs grow out. Anyway, now that I've been to a few of these blogging conferences, I've seen people who have shared intimate details of themselves building relationships with others who also aren't afraid to show their emergency underwear, so to speak.

Him: Did you ever think maybe not over sharing is a good thing?

Me: Maybe. I guess I wouldn't like strangers poking through my metaphorical tampons.

Him: Exactly.

Me: And then Andrew tells her she has problems.

Him: Yep.

Me: And then there's the thing of her being a pathological liar.

Him: Uh huh.

Me: And I never did understand why she had to get all pretty for the guy to like her.

Him: Mmm hmm.

Me: Why did she have to get a Molly Ringwald makeover? She was the same girl underneath all that black shit. Molly Ringwald should have let her keep the black shit! She liked the black shit! Although, I do believe the headband was an inspired choice.

Him: We're not talking about your blog anymore, are we?

Me: No, I guess not.

Him: Can we drop this subject then?

Me: Yeah, sure. I guess. But I'm totally, like, blogging about it.

Him: I wouldn't expect anything else. Will you warn me if and when you decide to dump out "your bag"?

Me: Like, totally. And for the record, your mom spent way too much time on your high school jacket. It's kind of troubling, actually. If at anytime you'd like to talk about it...

Him: Drop it.

Me: Okay, Sporto.

BlogHer '10 or 20th high school class reunion? Decisions, decisions.

2009-08-06T07:45:00.000-07:00

When BlogHer announced the date and location of next year's conference two things went through my head:

1. Yay! It's closer to home next year. A bunch of us New England bloggers can take the train together and bond over mimosas in the club car and get to know each other better by chatting in our large, comfortable, non-airplane seats. Probably via Twitter but you know, still chatting.

and

2. Hmm, that date sounds awfully familiar, like I've already planned something for that weekend. But that's silly, I never plan anything that far in advance. It's an entire year away, I don't even know what I'm doing next week. Pshaw. I'm sure it's nothing.

And I swatted that notion away like a pesky fly. Until last night when I was checking my Facebook page.

I don't know what made me check Facebook. I hardly ever check Facebook anymore. I mean occasionally when Twitter is down I'll run to Facebook like a fickle lover. I'll whisper a few sweet nothings and send them out into the ether, just to get my fix. But for the most part, the people I have friended on Facebook are either the people I already chat with in on Twitter, friends I see every week anyway, or high school friends I haven't spoken with in almost 20 years so...

Almost 20 years. Wow. That's a long time.

Twenty years. Twenty years?

Shit, my 20th class reunion is next year. I'm not looking forward to attending that reunion.

My reunion. My reunion? My reunion!

My 20th high school reunion is the same weekend as BlogHer '10.

Okay, that's funny.

It's like the universe is absolving me from having to go to my reunion and mingle with people I didn't really much for when I was a naive 17 year old and will probably really dislike when I'm a much more worldly 37 year old.

Hey, I've had my passport stamped at least twice. Maybe more. That totally counts as being "worldly".

But still, I weighed my options. My 20th reunion should be something I want to go to, right? I have this girlfriend who didn't go to hers, and every once in a while, she gets this really terrible feeling--you know, like something is missing. She checks her purse, and then she checks her keys. She counts her kids, she goes crazy, and then she realizes that nothing is missing. She decided it was side effects from skipping the reunion. No wait, that was prom. And if you get that reference we can friends.

On the one hand, I told myself, I could go for four days to New York City and hang out with people I genuinely want to spend time with. Okay, they're people I met in the computer but as far as I know they're not going to slip me a horse tranquilizer and harvest my vital organs. Although, I do have my doubts about a few...

But on the other hand, maybe I should put aside petty differences and hurt feelings and resentments and all that and bury the hatchet - so to speak because, you know, not literally bury the hatchet, even though I may want to take something sharp to a certain girl who used to be my friend before she stole my boyfriend, bitch - and maybe reconnect with the few people I actually liked in high school.

I gave it a lot of thought (five minutes) and actually came up with a pros and cons list. Ready?

"Should Tania go to the BlogHer '10 conference in NEW YORK FREAKING CITY or go to her 20th high school class reunion and stand in the corner and muse over what happened to that hot boy she had a crush on when she was 16 years old and he never gave her the time of day's hair and probably leave after an hour?"

Going to Blogher -

The Pros:
- It's in New York City and despite being just a few hours away I've never been. And yes, I've just admitted that I'm really that lame on the internet.
- Overwhelming, but in a good way.
- Late night parties, good conversation, and you never know where you're going to end up at 3am.
- SWAAAAAG: The steel cage match. Two people go in, one person comes out with a trial-sized bottle of laundry detergent.
- I like to squee.
- Where else can you gush over someone's business card and mean it?
- Seeing friends I only see once, maybe twice a year. Even the ones who live twenty miles away from me.
- *add something here about cultivating my craft and building business relationships and blah blah blahdee blah*

The Cons:
- The price. Wowza. I think I need my own street corner to pay for next year.
- Overwhelming, but I'm working on my social anxiety. One drink at a time.
- Exhaustion. Come to find out, I'm not twenty anymore. Who knew?
- Four days of squeeing when I'm generally done after two.

Going to my 20th reunion -

The Pros:
-
-
.....
-
- Um.
-
- I'm sure the food won't be too bad?

The Cons:
- Really? Do I need to write it all down? I have kids to take care of before they go off to college.

So after much soul searching and wringing of hands and rendering of garments, I've decided to go to BlogHer.

Who wants to hit the nightclubs at 3am? Because if I'm going, I'm pretending I'm seventeen years old again... And paying for the after affects for the next year. I'll need the company.

Mungkin hal itu juga menjadi keluhan Anda. Menurut Sabine Hack, MD, seorang dokter gigi, bayi yang sering mengempeng dan menghisap jari punya kecenderungan bicara cadel.
Jadi, inilah yang sebaiknya Anda lakukan:

Sejak awal, jangan kenalkan empeng kepadanya. Jika bayi rewel, lebih baik dipeluk atau digendong sambil dinyanyikan.
Lepaskan empeng jika anak sedang ‘sibuk’ bermain atau mengobrol dengan Anda.
Jika anak tidak bertanya, jangan tawarkan empengnya.
Jika dirasa perlu, atur waktu penggunaannya, misalnya hanya ketika mau tidur. Segera copot empeng jika anak sudah tertidur.
Kenalkan teether (mainan gigitan) sebagai pengganti empeng. Letakkan dulu teether di kulkas, efek dinginnya menyenangkan anak.
Jika empeng rusak, jangan beli penggantinya.
Lebih banyak lagi mengajak si kecil bermain, untuk mengalihkan perhatiannya dari empeng.

Kalau Bayi tetap Ngempeng Berlebihan. jangan menyerah. Kesabaran Anda memisahkan dia dari empengnya suatu saat pasti akan berhasil juga.Selamat berjuang….

Atur Keuangan Setelah Bayi Lahir

2009-06-16T23:25:00.000-07:00

Mengelola keuangan penting, terutama ketika bayi sudah lahir dalam keluarga. Biaya ekstra pasti tidak terelakkan lagi. Suami istri harus memiliki strategi mengelola keuangan keluarga setelah bayi lahir.
Senangnya, bayi sudah hadir di tengah–tengah Anda dan pasangan. Pasti banyak yang sudah dipersiapkan. Siap mental, siap fisik dan juga siap dalam hal financial. Semua itu harus dipersiapkan dengan matang. Kehadiran bayi sebagai anggota baru di tengah keluarga pastilah menambah pengeluaran rutin kita.

Satukan pendapatan. Pastinya terdapat perbedaan pengelolaan keuangan ketika belum menikah dan setelah menikah (apalagi dengan kehadiran bayi). Ada tips dari Ahli perencanaan keuangan, Dr. Adler Haymans Manurung, yang juga Direktur Pengelolaan Investasi di salah satu perusahaan sekuritas.

Beli yang terjangkau. “Sesuaikanlah kebutuhan anak dengan kemampuan keuangan orang tua. Misalnya saja, orang tua bisa cermat memilih susu formula yang harganya terjangkau dengan kandungan gizi yang tak kalah baik dengan susu formula berharga mahal. Anda harus pintar memilah-milah pengeluaran," ucap Adler.

Yakin ada rezeki. Selain itu Adler menambahkan bahwa para orang tua muda ini haruslah punya keyakinan mengenai rezeki yang akan mereka terima. “Tak perlu takut uang Anda habis karena ada anak. Percaya bahwa Tuhan senantiasa memberi rezeki. Tinggal bagaimana cara Anda memilah-milah pengeluaran dan konsisten terhadap pengelolaan keuangan keluarga ini,” tutur Adler.

Hilangkan yang tidak penting. Adler menyarankan sebaiknya pasangan muda meniadakan penggunaan kartu kredit. “Bila gaji Anda masih terasa pas-pasan, ada baiknya menghilangkan penggunaan kartu kredit karena menjadikan Anda penghutang. Tetapi bila gaji Anda besar, tak apa-apa menggunakan kartu kredit ini karena Anda bisa ‘memainkannya’.

Bagaimana kini sudah tidak bingung lagi kan?

Fakta Bayi Baru Lahir

2009-06-15T23:23:00.000-07:00

Bayi baru tidur terus, selalu menangis, kulit keriput, dan sebagainya. Itu memang kondisi alami bayi baru. Apalagi kondisi-kondisi bayi baru lainnya?

Wajar jika ibu baru masih merasa bingung dengan apa yang terjadi pada bayi yang baru berusia seminggu. Ini fakta-faktanya:

Tidur terus. 18 – 22 jam sehari, itu memang waktu tidur bayi baru lahir. Uniknya, ia lebih banyak tidur di siang hari, sementara di tengah malam ia sering bangun.

Tukang makan. Lambung bayi baru kecil, sehingga hanya mampu menampung ASI sekitar 100 ml. Itu sebabnya ia punya jadwal makan hampir setiap 2-3 jam.

Bobot turun. Jangan terkejut atau takut. Sekalipun minum ASI sepanjang hari, berat badan bayi di minggu pertama akan turun 5 – 10 persen dari berat lahir. Penurunan tersebut terjadi karena bayi mengeluarkan sejumlah cairan serta kotoran pertamanya.

Menangis terus. Wajar saja, karena menangis adalah bahasa bayi ketika menyatakan perasaannya. Cobalah belajar memahami apa yang ingin ‘dikatakan’ bayi melalui tangisan.

Kulit keriput. Kulit bayi usia seminggu memang terlihat ‘aneh’. Kulitnya keriput dan mengandung lapisan. Sebenarnya, kondisi struktur dan komponen kulit bayi baru sudah lengkap, hanya saja belum berfungsi sempurna.

Tangan dan kaki dingin. Hal ini wajar. Biarpun tangan dan kakinya dingin, bukan berarti ia kedinginan, selama bagian dada dan perutnya terasa hangat, dan permukaan kulitnya tidak tampak kebiru-biruan.

Rindu belaian. Bayi baru biasanya ‘haus’ sentuhan dan belaian. Dari kelima indera bayi, indera peraba adalah yang paling awal berkembang.

Bagaimana bunda, sudah lebih memahami bayi baru Anda?

Penelitian membuktikan, ASI adalah makanan paling tepat untuk bayi, termasuk bayi prematur. Jadi, bukan susu formula! Bahkan, susu formula yang difortifikasi atau diperkaya zat-zat gizi tambahan untuk membantu proses tumbuh-kembang bayi prematur pun, tidak banyak berbeda efeknya dengan susu formula biasa.

Pernyataan ini dibuktikan riset Dr. Winston W. K. Koo dari Wayne State University and Hutzel Hospital, Detroit, AS. Dalam risetnya yang dilaporkan American Journal of Clinical Nutrition edisi Desember 2006, diteliti 89 bayi prematur yang secara acak diberi susu formula biasa dan lainnya susu formula yang telah difortifikasi.

Dugaan semula, bayi-bayi yang diberi susu formula yang difortifikasi akan memiliki skor kesehatan yang lebih baik ketimbang bayi yang diberi susu formula biasa. Kenyataannya, dari hasil pengukuran berat dan panjang badan, kandungan mineral dan kepadatan massa tulang, serta tebal jaringan lemak antara bayi-bayi yang diberi susu formula yang difortifikasi, tidak menunjukkan perbedaan yang menyolok dan berarti dengan bayi-bayi yang diberi susu formula biasa. Jadi, sampai saat ini belum ada yang dapat mengalahkan khasiat ASI bagi bayi!

Diabetes Melitus (DM) dapat menyerang siapa saja dan tidak pandang usia.
"Penyakit ini, "kata dr. Aman B. Pulungan, Sp.A, bersifat kronis dan hingga saat ini belum dapat disembuhkan." Penyebab pastinya masih menjadi misteri namun faktor-faktor genetik dan lingkungan diduga ikut berperan.

Tidur Aman Bersama Si Bayi

2009-06-05T01:17:00.000-07:00

Pernah mendengar larangan untuk tidur satu tempat tidur dengan bayi? Larangan itu awalnya dikeluarkan oleh CPSC (US Consumer Product Safety Commission) pada tahun 1999. Menurut CPSC, sejak Januari 1990 – Desember 1997 di Amerika saja terjadi 515 kematian bayi dan anak batita yang tidur bersama orangtua. Lebih dari 75% angka tersebut adalah bayi di bawah 3 bulan. Waduh!

Laporan ini mengundang reaksi banyak pihak, terutama mereka yang tergabung dalam berbagai aliansi peduli anak. Salah satunya adalah API (Attachment Parenting International), yang menuduh CPSC didanai oleh perusahaan pembuat tempat tidur bayi . API menyebut, tidur bersama bayi memiliki lebih banyak keuntungan dibandingkan kerugian. Nah, agar bisa tidur bersama bayi dengan aman, inilah saran API dan Elizabeth Pantley, penulis buku The No Cry Sleep Solution:

Usahakan bayi tidur terlentang, tidak tengkurap.
Tempatkan bayi di samping mama, bukan di antara mama dan papa.
Jangan gunakan water bed atau tempat tidur yang terlalu empuk, juga jangan gunakan terlalu banyak bantal dan guling, karena bayi bisa ‘terjepit’ di dalam lekukannya.
Pastikan jarak antara tempat tidur dan dinding rapat atau sekaligus cukup jauh, untuk menghindari kemungkinan bayi terjatuh di sela-selanya.
Pastikan kasur sama ukurannya dengan tempat tidur untuk menghindari bayi terjepit di antara tempat tidur dan kasur.
Tempatkan bantal atau kasur di sekeliling tempat tidur agar kalaupun ia jatuh, tidak jatuh langsung ke lantai keras.
Pastikan seprai tak mudah terlepas, agar jangan sampai bayi tertutup seprai dan tak bisa bernapas.
Gunakan pakaian yang simpel.

Kulit memerah dan rasa gatal yang tak tertahan, membuat bayi rewel. Segera atasi biang keringat pada bayi dan cegah sebisa mungkin.

Coba periksa dahi, leher dan bagian tubuhnya yang tertutup pakaian. Jika ada bintil-bintil kecil berwarna merah yang kadang-kadang berisi air, dengan disertai atau tidak kulit yang tampak kemerahan, maka mungkin dia mengalami gangguan kulit yang dikenal dengan nama keringat buntet atau biang keringat. Dalam istilah kedokteran disebut sebagai miliaria.

Hindari banyak keringat.

Kulit bayi masih dalam tahap perkembangan dan penyempurnaan. Misalnya saja, proses penyerapan dan pengeluaran keringat belum berjalan semestinya. Akibatnya, sering dijumpai bayi yang berkeringat berlebihan. Beberapa hal yang dapat Anda lakukan untuk mengurangi timbulnya biang keringat pada bayi adalah:

Menjaga kenyamanan lingkungan di sekitar bayi. Misalnya, kamarnya bersih, tidak panas dan tidak lembab, serta memiliki sirkulasi udara yang baik.
Memakaikan baju yang terbuat dari jenis-jenis bahan yang mudah menyerap keringat, lembut, dan tidak ketat pada bayi.
Setiap kali dia berkeringat, segera usap dengan menggunakan waslap basah, lalu keringkan dengan handuk yang lembut. Jika perlu, ganti bajunya yang basah dengan baju yang kering dan bersih.
Jaga kebersihan tubuh bayi sepanjang hari dengan cara memandikannya, jika terlalu banyak keringat yang keluar
Jangan membubuhkan bedak pada kulit bayi yang basah, karena bedak menghambat keluarnya keringat.
Tidak mengoleskan baby oil, baby lotion atau baby cream pada sekujur tubuhnya sepanjang waktu. Gunakanlah produk tersebut sesuai kebutuhan, misalnya jka kulit bayi tampak kering. Kulit yang kering lebih akan menghambat keluarnya keringat dan memudahkan infeksi bakteri.

Jika bayi sudah mengalami biang keringat, lakukan langkah-langkah untuk mengatasinya. Untunglah, sebagian besar biang keringat akan sembuh dengan sendirinya tanpa pengobatan.

Langkah-langkah mengatasi biang keringat:

Siapkanlah alat-alat yang dibutuhkan, seperti waslap, baskom berisi air hangat, baju yang bersih dan perlak.
Bukalah baju bayi. Keringkan kulit yang ada biang keringatnya dengan waslap bersih yang telah dibasahi dengan air hangat. Atau, mandikan bayi dengan air hangat (usahakan agar jangan terlalu panas karena akan merangsang timbulnya keringat).
Biarkan tubuh bayi tanpa baju untuk beberapa saat sampai kulit dan lipatan-lipatan kulitnya menjadi kering dengan sendirinya. Tujuannya, mencegah agar kulit yang terkena biang keringat tidak bertambah parah karena bergesekan dengan handuk pada waktu dikeringkan.
Kenakan baju yang kering dan bersih.

ATASI BAYI PILEK

2009-05-29T02:23:00.000-07:00

SI KECIL masih bayi tapi sudah pilek, gimana ya cara mengatasinya???....penyakit Flu adalah penyakit yang disebabkan infeksi virus yang menyerang saluran napas atas(hidung dan tenggorokan) memang mudah menular, lewat udara juga bisa, namun anda bisa koq mencegahnya yaitu dengan memakai masker saat mengendong atau berdekatan dengan bayi termasuk pada saat menyusuinya. Aturan yang sama juga berlaku bagi ayah ataupun siapapun yang berinteraksi dengannya.

Namun bila sudah terlanjur tertular dengan gejala lesu, demam di atas 38`C, batuk-batuk serta rewel karena rasa nyeri dikepala dan tubuhnya, berikut tips yang dapat anda lakukan :

Biarkan banyak beristirahat untuk meningkatkan daya tahan tubuhnya.
Tetap susui ASI. ASI membantu kekurangan cairan yang mungkin terjadi akibat demam.
Pantau suhu tubuhnya. Setiap 3-4 jam sekali. Untuk menentukan perlu tidaknya diberi penurun panas.
Perhatikan sirkulasi udara di kamar bayi mengalir dengan baik. Ruangan yang pengap akan memperparah penyakitnya.

Sebenarnya penyakit flu akan sembuh sendiri tanpa pemberian obat-obatan, bila si kecil ditangani dengan baik ia akan sembuh dalam 4-5 hari. Namun bisa jadi selama rentang waktu tersebut bisa saja si kecil rewel karena hidungnya penuh lendir. Untuk itu ada beberapa tips yang perlu diperhatikan dalam pengeluaran lendir:

Gunakan pipet khusus untuk menyedot lendir bayi. Pastikan anda mematuhi cara kerjanya.
Jika ingin mengoleskan balsem oles saja di bagian baju depan dada bayi jangan di kulitnya karena bisa saja terjadi iritasi pada kulit.
Tetesi obat tetes hidung yang kandungannya hanya garam. Obat ini mengencerkan lendir sehingga lebih mudah ditelan bayi dan merangsang bersin, sehingga lendir mudah keluar.
Kalau lendirnya terlalu banyak segera bawa ke dokter anak anda, lendir akan dihisap alat yang bernama suction (bentuknya selang kecil dan dihubungkan ke sebuah mesin).
Jangan sedot lendir dihidung bayi dengan mulut karena bisa menyebabkan dia tertular penyakit jika anda menderita sakit tertentu.
Jangan ganjal kepala bayi dengan tumpukan bantal. Otot-otot leher bayi relatif masih lemah dan pendek tumpukan bantal hanya akan membuat leher lebih menekuk sehingga membuatnya sulit bernafas.

2009-05-29T01:15:00.000-07:00

Saat memandikan bayi terkadang kita mengalami kesulitan, seperti: rewel, menangis, atu diam di tempat saja. Sekarang anda tidak perlu khawatir karena ada cara efisien untuk menghapus itu semua. Dengan mengajak bermain bayi anda saat mandi. Trus bagaimana cara bermainya…..baca donk!!!!

Cara bermain: Begitu si kecil mulai menepuk-nepuk air, mulai nyanyikan lagu favoritnya (tak masalah jika suara Anda fals). Tepat sebelum sebuah kata atau kalimat yang sering diulang-ulang, berhentilah menyanyi dan tunggu sampai bayi ‘menyelesaikan’ lagu itu (meski hanya dengan bergumam atau berceloteh). Mengapa bayi suka: Sama seperti kita, si kecil senang mendapat giliran, dan reaksi Anda yang gembira ketika ia menyelesaikan lagu dengan tepat merupakan dorongan yang dibutuhkannya untuk membangun rasa bangga. Apa yang diajarkan: Keterampilan komunikasi. “Meski secara verbal bayi belum bisa menyelesaikan dengan kata-kata, otaknya akan membuat semacam hubungan, yang mendorong si kecil mengerahkan seluruh ingatannya untuk mencari kata yang pas,” ucap Dr. Perimutter. Dengan memberi bayi kesempatan untuk merespon, sebenarnya Anda sedang membangun landasan untuk berkomunikasi. Kapan mulai bermain: Usia 8–12 bulan, saat keinginan bayi untuk berkomunikasi mulai tumbuh, dan ia berada pada ambang mengeluarkan kata-kata pertama.
