Kebaikan SusuIbu...

Usah Nafikan Kebaikan Susu Ibu

Rencana dari Bernama 17 Januari 2007 14:43pm
oleh Adibah Ismail

KUALA LUMPUR, 17 Jan (Bernama) --
Asli atau tiruan?
Lazimnya kebanyakan orang tanpa ragu-ragu akan memilih yang asli.

Namun begitu, masih ramai ibu bapa yang merelakan susu formula iaitu barang tiruan menjadi makanan pertama anak mereka.

Mengapa susu formula atau susu tiruan ini dikecualikan sedangkan masyarakat sedar walau sebaik manapun sesuatu barang tiruan, ia tidak akan sebaik barangan asli?

Polisi Kebangsaan Penyusuan Susu Ibu menggalakkan semua ibu menyusukan anaknya dengan susu ibu sahaja selama enam bulan atau dikenali sebagai penyusuan eksklusif dan meneruskannya sehingga dua tahun.

Makanan tambahan pula hanya dimulakan semasa anak berumur enam bulan.

Kebanyakan ibu hanya mampu menyusukan anak mereka sehingga dua bulan atau sepanjang tempoh berpantang dan apabila mereka kembali bekerja, ramai yang mengambil jalan mudah dengan memberikan susu formula.

Ada juga segelintir wanita yang baru bersalin langsung tidak memberikan susu ibu kepada bayi mereka sejak dilahirkan walaupun menyedari susu ibu adalah makanan terbaik bagi bayi.

Menurut perangkaan 88.6 peratus ibu-ibu di Malaysia pernah menyusukan anak.
Ini bermakna 11.4 peratus ibu tidak pernah menyusukan anak mereka!

Daripada 88.6 peratus ibu yang pernah memberikan susu, hanya 29 peratus yang mampu menyusukan bayi mereka secara eksklusif dan hanya 11.7 peratus yang menyambung penyusuan sehingga bayi berusia dua tahun.

KEBAIKAN SUSU IBU
Menurut Penolong Pengarah Pemakanan Jabatan Kesihatan Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Siti Mariam Ali, susu ibu mengandungi zat dan vitamin yang mencukupi dan berubah mengikut umur dan keperluan bayi.

Ia mudah dihadam dan digunakan oleh bayi dengan berkesan serta melindungi bayi dari penyakit, mengandungi antibodi, faktor tumbesaran, enzim dan tiada pencemaran.

"Contohnya bagi bayi yang dilahirkan pra-matang, susu ibu yang dihasilkan sesuai untuk perkembangan bayi tersebut. Ia kurang laktosa, lebih protein, Laktoferrin dan Imunoglobulin untuk mencegah alahan dan jangkitan," katanya kepada Bernama.

Katanya susu awal ibu atau dikenali sebagai kolostrum yang berwarna kekuningan pula adalah makanan pertama yang sempurna bagi bayi dan mengandungi pelbagai kebaikan.

Antaranya ialah mengeluarkan mekonium (najis bayi di awal kelahiran), mencegah penyakit kuning (jaundis), melindungi bayi dari jangkitan dan alahan (susu ibu kaya dengan antibodi dan sel darah putih), mencegah jangkitan dan penyakit mata (kaya dengan vitamin A dan E), mengandungi faktor pertumbuhan bagi kematangan usus sekaligus mencegah alahan dan bertindak sebagai imunisasi pertama untuk menentang bakteria dan virus.

"Jika bayi diberikan makanan lain sebelum dia diberikan kolostrum, makanan tersebut boleh merosakkan ususnya dan menyebabkan alahan," katanya.

Selain itu susu ibu juga melindungi bayi daripada kolik, lelah, penyakit kulit, hidung dan alahan kepada makanan, mengurangkan penyakit seperti batuk, jangkitan telinga, bronkitis, pneumonia, meningitis, dan cirit-birit.

Ia juga mengurangkan risiko penyakit jantung, kencing manis, kanser dan obesiti kanak-kanak di kemudian hari.

Selain itu susu ibu turut mengurangkan risiko sindrom kematian bayi, mengurangkan masalah karies gigi, penglihatan, pertuturan dan menguatkan pertumbuhan rahang.

FAEDAH TERSEMBUNYI
Terdapat banyak faedah lain yang diperolehi oleh bayi, ibu, keluarga mahupun masyarakat.

Mungkin kebaikan-kebaikan ini nampak remeh tetapi ia sebenarnya memberikan kesan kepada kehidupan kita seharian.

"Kajian menunjukkan IQ bayi yang menyusu susu ibu adalah 5.2 mata lebih tinggi daripada yang tidak menyusu ibu."Bayi yang menyusu ibu akan jarang dijangkiti penyakit, membolehkan ibu bapa bekerja dengan senang hati tanpa perlu mengambil cuti untuk menjaga anak yang tidak sihat, selain meningkatkan produktiviti," kata Siti Mariam.

Menyusukan bayi juga turut memberikan faedah kepada ibu tersebut dengan merendahkan risiko terhadap barah payudara dan ovari, mengelakkan pendarahan selepas bersalin, menjarakkan kelahiran kerana penyusuan merupakan cara perancang keluarga semulajadi, mempercepatkan proses pengurangan berat badan dan mengempiskan perut.

Penyusuan susu ibu juga akan menjimatkan wang kerana tidak perlu menyediakan barang keperluan untuk penyusuan, tidak perlu membeli susu formula dan mengurangkan perbelanjaan untuk rawatan perubatan kerana bayi yang menyusu ibu jarang sakit.

"Katakan anda memilih untuk membeli pam pemerah susu yang mahal, kos pembelian itu masih murah dibandingkan dengan kos untuk susu formula yang perlu dibeli setiap bulan."Pam yang menggunakan bateri walaupun berharga lebih kurang RM200, boleh digunakan sehingga dua atau tiga tahun. Jika susu formula, setin berharga lebih kurang RM30. Berapa jumlahnya sebulan? Berapa yang boleh dijimatkan dalam setahun?" katanya.

Selain itu, penyusuan susu ibu juga membantu mengeratkan kasih sayang antara anak dan ibu, lebih masa terluang bersama keluarga, dan menyumbang kepada objektif negara dalam perancangan keluarga.

KEKURANGAN SUSU FORMULA
Antara kekurangan ketara susu formula ialah khasiatnya tidak akan sama dengan khasiat susu ibu walaupun pelbagai zat tambahan dimasukkan seperti Omega3, Docosahexanoic (DHA), Arachidonic acid (AA), dan vitamin B12.

"Masih tidak ada kajian yang boleh menentukan kadar sebenar sesuatu zat yang diperlukan oleh bayi. Berbeza dengan susu ibu, kandungan zatnya akan berubah mengikut keperluan," katanya.

Zat-zat tambahan dalam susu formula juga membawa kesan sampingan lain seperti protein, walaupun ia telah diubah tetapi masih sukar dihadam manakala zat besi pula sukar untuk diserap, katanya.

Bayi yang diberikan susu formula juga terdedah kepada pencemaran bakteria apabila air bancuhan, peralatan botol dan puting tidak dibersihkan dengan sempurna.

"Bakteria membiak dengan cepat terutamanya jika susu dibiarkan dalam cuaca panas. Walaupun belum berbau masam atau basi, ia masih boleh membahayakan bayi," katanya.

Bayi juga tidak mendapat perlindungan daripada pelbagai penyakit kerana susu formula tidak mengandungi antibodi menyebabkan bayi yang diberi susu formula lebih kerap mendapat jangkitan penyakit seperti cirit-birit, demam, selesema, batuk dan alahan walaupun susunya dibuat secara bersih.

Terdapat juga risiko kekurangan zat makanan jika susu dibancuh terlalu cair ataupun jika dibancuh terlalu pekat, ia boleh mengakibatkan sembelit atau kerosakan pada organ tertentu.

"Sebab itu kita melihat ramai bayi yang mengalami kegemukan, mereka mendapat lebih zat daripada sepatutnya," kata Siti Mariam.

Berbeza dengan susu ibu, susu formula juga tidak mengandungi enzim. Ini melambatkan penghadaman dan menyukarkan tenaga dibekalkan kepada bayi.

BAHAYA AIR
Selain susu formula, kebanyakan ibu bapa juga cenderung untuk memberikan air kepada bayi mereka dengan alasan mengelakkan bayi daripada haus, badan panas, sembelit atau untuk mencuci mulut bayi.

Siti Mariam berkata alasan-alasan tersebut adalah tidak berasas kerana susu ibu mengandungi 88 peratus air dan bayi yang hanya diberikan susu ibu dijamin akan mendapat cukup air.

Amalan memberikan air kepada bayi sebenarnya boleh mendedahkan bayi kepada pelbagai risiko termasuk merencatkan tumbesaran dan akal, mengancam nyawa serta mengakibatkan sawan tarik.

"Perut bayi yang baru lahir hanya memerlukan empat sudu kecil kolosterum (2ml) dan jumlah ini akan meningkat kepada 40 sudu (200ml) hanya setelah bayi menjangkau umur setahun," katanya.

Oleh itu tumbesaran bayi yang diberikan air akan terencat kerana perutnya yang kecil itu sepatutnya diisi dengan susu ibu yang kaya dengan pelbagai khasiat untuk membantu tumbesarannya.

Air juga boleh menjadi pembawa kuman kerana pencemaran boleh berlaku di pelbagai peringkat sama ada sumber air atau bekas yang tidak bersih. Ini akan mendedahkan bayi kepada cirit-birit.

Air juga akan menghakis salutan pelindung penyakit yang dihasilkan oleh susu ibu dan ini akan mendedahkan bayi kepada pelbagai jangkitan.

Bagi bayi yang mengidap jaundis, air yang terlalu banyak boleh merencatkan akal manakala bagi yang berumur di bawah lima minggu, air yang terlalu banyak akan mencairkan garam di dalam darah yang mengakibatkan suhu badan yang rendah, kembung atau sawan tarik.-- BERNAMA

Foods & Kids..

8 Good Foods Young Kids Love
(Prepared byCatherine Saxelby)

1. Fruit
   Universally liked, sweet, enjoyable, a good substitute for vegetables. Whole fruit has more fibre than juice. Nutritious and refreshing snack. Bananas are beaut for babies and in smoothies.
2. Yoghurt
   Smooth and pleasant, yoghurt is an excellent food for children and a good dairy food for those unable to digest milk or with lactose intolerance. Acceptable to most non-Western cultures. Adds gut-friendly bacteria.
3. Bread
   Our first convenience food - soft, chewy and satisfying. Can do a million things with the humble loaf - from toast, sandwiches, and jaffles to pudding. Quick food for kids who can’t sit still for long. (Always supervise young children while they are eating and don’t let them run while eating as the risk of choking increases).
4. Breakfast cereals
   Convenient, nutritious, all low in fat (except for toasted types). Good for snacks, enormous variety for all dietary needs. Encourages milk consumption. Something that children can get for themselves. Encourage low-sugar varieties and sweeten with fresh fruit if desired.
5. Lean mince
   An easy way to get kids to eat meat - the best source of bio-available iron. Can be turned into kid-friendly meals like the ever popular Spaghetti Bolognese, savoury mince, meatballs, hamburgers, meatloaf, and rissoles. Inexpensive and versatile. Freeze flat in 500g or 1kg packs so there’s always some on hand.
6. Pasta
   Thank goodness for macaroni, spaghetti and noodles, say most parents. Great food for carbohydrates and energy, soft and easy for kids to eat, endless variations with toppings, inexpensive.
7. Eggs
   Always in the fridge, a quick meal when there’s nothing else. Under-rated nutritionally due to cholesterol scare, yet popular with children. A great standby for busy parents.
8. Baked beans
   Quick, handy and good to eat. One of the highest fibre foods, baked beans on toast is an excellent meal. Always have a can in the cupboard.

Milk for Toddlers...

Hanya Panduan..(Kalau dah tak BF lagi le..lepas 2 tahun lebih..)

(under 5 years old..)

MILK FOR TODDLERS...

How much fat?

• Give full cream milk to children between 1 and 2 years of age. Whole milk has 4% fat.
• Children over 2 years of age do not need full cream milk. Choose reduced fat milk. Low fat milk has 1 to 2% fat.
• Don't give skim milk ('99.9% fat free') to children under 5 years old.

How much milk?

• 600 mls of milk (about 2 ½ cups) a day is plenty. It is only one part of what toddlers eat and drink and other foods are needed too.
• It is important that children do not drink so much milk that they won't eat other foods as this is a common cause of health problems (such as iron deficiency anaemia) in toddlers.

Why milk is important for young children

• Milk has a lot of calcium which is important for growing bones and teeth.
• Calcium is more easily taken into the body from milk than from vegetable foods.
• Milk also provides good protein.
• Whole milk gives fat for energy and growth.
• Milk provides some vitamins, especially Vitamin A (in the milk fat) and B group Vitamins.
• Most (although not all) toddlers like milk and dairy foods.

Calcium needs for toddlers

• Children under 5 years need about 700 mg of calcium per day.
• Calcium cannot be made by the body so the dairy foods (milk, cheese etc) that children eat and drink every day are important.
• Most children under 5 get 70% of their calcium from cows milk, 20% from milk products such as cheese, yoghurt, custard, and 10% from breakfast cereals.

Long life milk

• Long life milk and UHT milk have the same food values for children as ordinary milk, they have just been treated differently so they last longer.
• They are just as good for children.
• They should be used in the same way as ordinary milk, ie full cream milk is best for children under 2 years of age.
• Once the carton of "long life" milk is opened it is no longer long life, it "goes off" at the same rate as ordinary milk (and needs to be kept in the refrigerator).

Untreated cows' milk

• Cows' milk that comes straight from the farm and is not treated at a milk factory should be boiled for toddlers.
• Milk that is sold in shops and has been treated has been both pasteurised and homogenised. This means it has been heated to kill any germs that could cause illnesses (such as tuberculosis) and the fat has been thoroughly mixed in so it doesn’t rise to the top.
• It is safest for young children to drink milk that has been treated in both these ways.
• If you want or need to give milk straight from the cow, it needs to be brought to the boil (with care, as it easily boils over), then stirred well as it cools to mix in the fat.

Milk and mucous

• Some people think that cows' milk produces mucous and that they should not give it to their children when they have a cold.
• Research shows that drinking milk does not increase mucous.
• Milk has a creamy feel and tends to leave a soft, sticky coating in the mouth and throat. This is not mucous and usually only lasts a short while and does no harm.
• It is important that children continue to have healthy diets when they have a cold.
• If your children do not want to drink milk when they have a cold try other dairy foods like yoghurt or cheese or flavoured milk iceblocks and the other suggestions in this topic.

A2 milk

A2 milk is being promoted fairly widely as having health benefits, but as yet there is little evidence that A2 milk might be any better for children than A1 milk. Food Standards Australia and New Zealand recommend that milk (A1 and A2 milk) should continue to be regarded as a safe and nutritious part of the diet for most people.

Cows' milk has many different proteins. One of the most common beta-casein proteins in A1 milk is different to one in A2 milk. Milk from different breeds of cows has different amounts of these proteins. Some breeds of cows, such as Friesians, produce mostly A1 milk, while other breeds, such as Guernseys (and also sheep and goats) produce mostly A2 milk. Milk in Australia is mostly a mix of A1 and A2 milks.

Some very recent research in Australia showed that children who were allergic to A1 milk were also allergic to A2 milk. Children with cows' milk allergy should not be given A2 milk without a doctor's advice.

Soy milk

• Full fat calcium fortified soy beverages are suitable for use after 1 year of age as part of a mixed diet.
• If a child is eating good amounts of meat and other protein rich foods, but does not eat a lot of fruit and vegetables, it may be good to continue soy infant formula rather than give other soy drinks.
• Other soy drinks that do not have calcium added are not best for toddlers.

Rice milk

• Rice milk is a liquid made from rice, and therefore is a perfectly good food, the same as rice itself, as part of a mixed diet. However it is not really a subsitiute for breastmilk or cows' milk for young children.
• In the form available in supermarkets, calcium has been added, which is good, but the protein level is much lower than in cows' milk. It is also low in fat which is not advisable for under twos.
• Toddlers could have an occasional drink of rice milk as long as it doesn't take the place of other milks or milk foods in their diet.
• For older children and adults who want to drink it, it could be a valuable, low fat and lactose-free source of calcium.

Goats' milk

• Goats' milk is very similar to cows' milk, so it can be given after 12 months.
• It is very important that goats' milk is pasteurised or boiled, though, as it can contain germs that could make a young child ill.
• Goats' milk has even less of some vitamins than plain cows' milk, particularly folic acid (folate). To help with this, make sure your child has a good range of foods, especially vegetables, fruit and cereals, some of which have folate added.
• For very fussy eaters, a folic acid supplement may be worthwhile if they are drinking only goats' milk.

Coconut milk

• Coconut milk is not really a milk as such and doesn't provide the same nourishment as normal milks.
• It contains a lot of fat and provides little else of value to the diet.
• Although it is fine to give children occasional foods (such as Asian dishes) containing coconut milk, it is not ideal as an infant food and certainly cannot be used to replace other milks.

Foods that contain calcium

• A 250ml glass of whole cows' milk contains about 165 calories, 9.5 gm fat , 8 gm of protein and 305 mg calcium. Low-fat milks contain at least as much calcium as whole cows' milk.
• Toddlers can get their calcium from drinking milk and/or eating foods that contain calcium.

Other foods that contain calcium

• Food / Amount of Calcium
• Cheddar cheese - 20 gm /130 mg calcium
• Cottage cheese - 20 gm / only 14 mg calcium
• Cream cheese spread - 24 gm / 67 mg calcium
• Fruit yoghurt - 1 X 200 gm tub / 250 mg calcium
• Natural yoghurt - 1 X 200 gm tub / 390 mg calcium
• Baked beans - ½ cup / 40 mg calcium
• Canned sardines (with bones) - 60g (½) tin / 200mg calcium
• Canned salmon (with bones) - 50g (¼ cup) / 100 mg calcium
• Broccoli and sesame seeds / Smaller but useful amounts of calcium.

Calcium enriched milks

From time to time milks are put on the market where the milk has been enriched eg with extra calcium. If children are getting the calcium requirements listed above, there is no need for them to have milk that has extra calcium in it. It is important that children under 2 have full cream milk and not low fat milk.

What parents can do

• Remember milk and other dairy foods are most important for calcium and contain other food needs as well.
• Do not give too much fruit juice, etc as it may take the place of milk.
• For children who don't like to drink milk, encourage them to eat breakfast cereals with milk, or try giving cereal and milk during the day as a snack.
• Choose desserts that are made from milk, such as puddings, custards, yoghurt etc.
• Try casseroles, pasta and rice with sauces made with milk and add melted cheese.
• Sprinkle grated cheese on vegetables, pizza and sandwiches.
• Give your toddler tinned fish (eg salmon, sardines), mashed with bones.

Children who cannot eat dairy foods

• Soy milk can be used for drinking and cooking (ie in sauces and custards).
• Soy yoghurts are now available.
• However soy products do not have much calcium unless it has been added. Check what it says on the packet. To take the place of cows' milk there should be at least 100 mg of calcium per 100 mls soy milk.
• Use special soy toddler formula until the age of 2 years.
• Tofu can be a good source of calcium as calcium is used in making it.

Children who cannot eat dairy or soy

• There is some calcium in most foods, especially tinned fish, green vegetables, peas and beans and cereals.
• However it can be difficult to get enough calcium without using some milk foods.
• Calcium tablets are easy to get, and can be crushed and added to other foods - check your child's needs with your doctor or a dietician.

Is there enough milk?

Is there enough milk?

Many mothers think that they haven't enough milk when there is really plenty. These are some of the things many mothers worry about, but they are all normal and usually not signs of a low supply of milk.

• The breasts feel softer and may not leak as much. This is normal after the early weeks.
• Most babies have fewer bowel actions and shorter feeds as they get older.
  Breastmilk looks more watery and blue-ish than cow’s milk. This is how it is supposed to look and does not mean that it is too ‘weak’.
• Babies show the rooting reflex if something touches their cheek (they turn their head towards that thing, open their mouth and start sucking on it). So they suck on their fists or fingers much of the time. This does not always mean that they are hungry.
• As babies grow, they demand more feeds than usual. This is a way of boosting the milk supply. If frequent feeds are a problem, see below.
• The baby is unsettled. There are many reasons for this that don’t have anything to do with breastfeeding.
• You have small breasts – breast size is not related to how much milk you can make.
  

Some mothers worry that their milk is not good enough for their baby. This is not likely, because even if you are not eating well, breast milk will be made using your body stores of nutrients, vitamins and minerals.

It is very rare that a mother can't make enough milk for her baby (except after some types of breast surgery). However, some babies do not suck well enough for the breasts to make enough milk.

These are signs that your baby is getting enough milk

• 6 - 8 wet nappies in 24 hours and several poos a day in the first few weeks of life. After this some babies can go a few days without a poo.
• The baby is putting on some weight.
• The baby seems bright and alert, and there are some times when the baby is awake and happy

What to do if you really do not seem to have enough milk

• Don't worry - everyone has "low" days and it is possible to build up a low supply.
• Check the baby's position and that the baby is sucking well.
• Offer both breasts every feed time. Change sides several times if your baby will not suck for long.
• Feed more often - every two or three hours - and/or offer top-ups at the breast in between feeds.
• Express milk after feeds especially if the baby is not feeding well.
• Make sure you get plenty of rest and good food. It is good to drink plenty, but extra fluid doesn't make more milk. Remember to have a drink each time the baby does.
• Cut down on smoking as this can make your milk supply less.
• If you need to give the baby extra formula from a bottle, try to give it only once at end of the day. It is best not to give a bottle after every feed unless a doctor advises it. With young babies you can use a cup or syringe instead of a bottle.
• You can give extra milk at the breast through a supplementer (supply line) .
• Talk to your doctor - there are some treatments which may help increase the amount of milk you have.

Teknik, buku & bayi...

Teknik melahirkan minat membaca/minat pada buku untuk bayi dan kanak-kanak bawah 2tahun....

1. Buku/Majalah yang tidak digunakan lagi...

• Sejak lahir beri buku atau majalah yang tidak digunakan lagi.
• Pastikan bukan kertas surat kabar atau kertas yang tajam hujung nya.
• Jika bayi dibawah usia 6 bulan, perhatikan segala pergerakkannya, supaya tak dimakan
  kertas tersebut.

2. Buku Plastik/ "BabyBath Book"...

• Jika menunjukkan minat pada bahan bacaan, belikan buku plastik seperti "baby bath book".
• Jangan dibiarkan sahaja bayi bersama buku tanpa mengajarnya. Tunjuk gambar dan sebut. Baca sambil memangku bayi.
• Lakukan setiap hari, walaupun hanya 5 minit sahaja.

3. Buku keras /"board book"

• Jika bayi sudah tidak menghisap buku atau menggigit buku, boleh dibelikan buku yang keras dan sederhana besarnya.
• Buku yang mempunyai gambar-gambar yang menarik dan nampak "real".
• Baca bersama dan sebut serta tunjukkan apa yang terkandung didalam buku tersebut.
• Lakukan berterusan. Setiap hari, 5 ~ 10 minit.
• Buku ini boleh diberikan padanya dan dibiarkan dia melihat dan membelek buku tersebut sendirian.

4. Buku jenis nipis/kertas...

• Buku jenis kertas ini nipis dan mudah dikoyakkan.
• Tidak boleh diberikan sahaja pada anak-anak.
• Ibu bapa harus membaca bersama anak-anak dan menjadikan rutin setiap hari.
• Buku tersebut harus la di simpan dengan elok (tidak dibiarkan anak-anak mengoyakkan).
• Biar anak-anak tertunggu-tunggu waktu untuk membaca buku tersebut. Mereka akan menjadi lebih "excited", dan menghargai buku.

5. Berikan buku yang berbentuk "education". Bukan cerita-cerita dongeng/ fairy tales.

Why Breastfeeding is Important?

Artikel dari : Australian Breastfeeding Association


BREASTMILK IS AN IRREPLACEABLE GIFT A MOTHER CAN GIVE TO HER BABY. IT IS THE START IN LIFE THAT NATURE INTENDED A BABY TO HAVE.

Breastfeeding...

• protects your baby from illness and infection
• provides the correct food for your growing baby
• aids the development of your baby's eyesight, speech and intelligence
• promotes a special loving bond between mother and baby

Babies who are not breastfed…

• have a higher risk of cot death
• have an increased likelihood of allergy
• cost more money - you need to buy expensive infant formulas and feeding equipment.
• non-breastfed babies are more likely to fall ill, costing more to the family and the community in medical bills
• are less environmentally friendly - in terms of fuel, energy and resources needed for artificial feeding

It helps to know:

• Most babies have a strong need to suck when they are first born, so you can start breastfeeding straight away if you are both well.
• The more milk your baby takes from the breast, the more milk your breast will make.
• To establish a good milk supply let your baby feed frequently, whenever he wakes or seems hungry.
• Allow him to finish the first breast before offering the second side.
• Breastmilk is easily digested.
• It is normal for young babies to feed frequently, including night feeds.
• This helps your supply too.
• Babies breastfeed for comfort and closeness as well as to satisfy their hunger and thirst.
• There is no need to avoid any specific foods while you are breastfeeding.
• There are no magic foods that increase the milk supply - a sensible, well-balanced diet is the key.
• Many women successfully combine breastfeeding and work outside the home.
• As your baby grows, your breastmilk changes to meet his developing needs - your breastmilk is always the right food for your baby.

Breastfeeding - The Natural Choice for Babies

• Breastmilk contains all the nutrients your baby needs for at least the first six months of his life and continues to be the most important part of his diet throughout the first year, supplying half or more of his nutrients till his first birthday and up to one third to his second birthday.
• The colostrum your baby receives in the first few days, and the breastmilk that follows, contain antibodies that provide resistance to infection.
• The unique combination of fatty acids and other components in breastmilk contribute to optimal brain development, so lack of these in artificially-fed babies may result in lower intelligence.
• Ensuring your baby has only breastmilk for at least six months may help minimise allergy problems.
• Breastfeeding provides optimal development for infants' eyesight, speech, jaw and oral cavity development.
• Non-breastfed babies have a lower resistance to disease and are more likely to become sick. Apart from the health benefits, breastfeeding means fewer doctors' visits and less time in hospital with illness.
• Lack of breastfeeding is linked with a higher risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS or 'cot death').
• Non-breastfed babies are more likely to develop ear infections.
  Artificial feeding may increase the risk of a baby developing juvenile diabetes in the future. It may also increase the risk of heart disease.

Breastfeeding - The Natural Choice for Mothers

• Breastfeeding helps your body return to its pre-pregnant state more quickly. Many women also find they lose excess weight while breastfeeding.
• Women who have not breastfed their babies have an increased risk of cancer of the breast and ovaries, heart disease and osteoporosis.
• Breastfeeding can delay the return of menstruation for many women. Apart from convenience, this saves money and lessens the impact of tampons and sanitary napkins on the environment.
• Breastfeeding's contraceptive effect can delay the return of fertility in many women, who exclusively breastfeed their babies of less than six months of age, and have not recommenced their menstrual cycle. This is known as the Lactational Amenorrhea Method of contraception, and is successful in approximately 98% of women. If a woman has an unchanging vaginal mucus pattern, there is minimal risk of ovulation, but if the pattern changes, she may need to seek advice if wishing to avoid pregnancy.
• Breastfeeding is usually easy and convenient. Breastfed babies are very portable and you have instant, pre-warmed, ready-to-serve food wherever you go.

Breastfeeding - The Natural Choice for our Environment

• The production and feeding of breastmilk have a far lower impact on our environment and world resources than ANY alternative feeding method.
• Breastfeeding saves food resources, fuel and energy.
• No packaging is required and no chemicals are needed for preparation or disinfection.

Surirumah, Menyusukan bayi & Makanan Tambahan...

Setiap ibu mampu menyusukan anaknya, tidak kira sama ada ibunya bekerja ataupun tidak. Kesungguhan, usaha dan keyakinan seorang ibu amat penting dalam menjayakan penyusuan anak nya dengan "Susuibu".

Susuibu adalah semulajadi, ianya hadir bersama-sama bayi yang dikandungkan oleh seorang ibu. ALLAH telah memberi kemudahan untuk para ibu, dengan mudah dapat memberikan susunya tanpa sebarang masalah. Jika kita lihat, bagaimana Susu Formula boleh di keluarkan? Di zaman 1860an, dimana Henri Nestlé, seorang "pharmacist", mencipta makanan untuk bayi yang tidak boleh menyusu dengan ibunya dan ibu-ibu yang mempunyai masalah kesihatan yang tak dapat dielakkan. Maka terhasil la SUSU FORMULA Susu formula adalah khas untuk bayi yang tidak dapat menyusu, seperti bayi pra-matang. Tetapi di zaman sekarang, teknologi yang semakin berkembang, bayi pra-matang boleh mendapatkan khasiat dari susuibu nya. Dengan terdapatnya pelbagai jenis pam di pasaran, boleh digunakan oleh ibu tersebut untuk membekalkan susu kepada bayi pra-matangnya. Tiada alasan untuk memberi susu formula.

Aku tidak faham kenapa sesetengah ibu yang tidak bekerja, masih mengatakan susu formula lebih senang diberikan kepada anaknya berbanding susuibu.
MENGAPA?????
Adakah kerje rumah itu terlalu banyak hingga tiada masa untuk menyusu????? atau ????? Adakah rumah mesti sentiasa bersih? Tingkap berkilat? Dapur berkemas? Rumah teratur? ..TIDAK!!!!!

Ini antara mentaliti para ibu yang tidak fikir tentang anaknya, tentang kesihatan anaknya, tentang ekonomi rumahtangganya...... Kerja ape sekalipun tidak akan habis. Tetapi apabila seorang ibu tidak bekerja, dia dapat menyusukan anaknya, bila-bila masa sahaja, tanpa menetapkan masa. Itulah "ON DEMAND", mengikut kemahuan anaknya.

Seorang ibu yang tidak bekerja, menguruskan rumahtangga bukan menjadikannya orang gaji atau amah, itu tidak betul konsep surirumah..... Seorang surirumah, memastikan anak-anaknya mendapat apa yang terbaik dari segi pemakanan harian dan juga pendidikan selain mengurus kan keperluan suami serta mempunyai masa sendiri untuk hobi dan diri sendiri.... Ini antara pendapat aku...

Aku dapat menyusukan anakku tanpa susu formula. Alhamdullillah telah 18 bulan aku berjaya menyusukanya. Insya'allah semoga dapat menyusukan anakku hingga 2 tahun lebih...
Anakku lebih banyak menyusu dari makan. Bagi kami, tidak mengapa, susu adalah makanan utama kanak-kanak berumur bawah 2 tahun. Makanan lain hanya tambahan sahaja.

Lain bayi, lain perangainya. Ada sesetengah yang suka makan dan masih menyusu dengan ibunya, ada yang lebih suka makan dan kurang menyusu, ada juga yang menyusu dan kurang makan. Ini bergantung pada ibu mereka, bagaimana menanganinya dan memberi makanan yang berkhasiat untuk anaknya.

Dalam makanan tambahan bayi, tidak perlu garam, gula ataupun minyak serta perisa tambahan lain. Yang penting makanan itu yang berkhasiat dan mengandungi zat-zat yang diperlukan pada tahap tumbesaran tersebut serta segar. Mungkin pada fikiran seseorang, tanpa perasa tak sedap. Tetapi cuba kita fikir untuk jangka masa panjang. Kanak-kanak dibawah usia 2 tahun sedang dalam proses tumbesaran, sistem penghadamannya masih baru dan belum cukup matang, bagaimana mampukah sistem tersebut bekerja keras untuk proses semua makanan yang dimakan??? Oleh itu makanan yang kurang fiber amat digalakkan.

Anak adalah anugerah yang tidak ternilai......

Buku Panduan Pemakanan & Kesihatan... II

Makanan yang berkhasiat adalah sangat diperlukan untuk menjamin kesihatan tubuh badan seseorang.

Kanak-kanak dibawah usia 5 tahun, memerlukan sesetengah zat melebihi orang dewasa dan juga terdapat zat yang kurang diperlukan oleh mereka.

* memerlukan lebih lemak/"More Fat"
- SusuIbu/"BreastMilk" : >50% lemak
- susu susulan /"follow-on milks" : 42% lemak
- kanak-kanak yang berusia 1 hingga 2 tahun boleh diberi susu penuh /"whole milk"
- kanak-kanak yang berusia antara 2 hingga 5 tahun boleh diberi "semi-skimmed milk"
- "skimmed milk" tidak boleh diberikan pada kanak-kanak dibawah usia 5 tahun
- "whole-milk yoghurts" dan "cheeses" amat digalakkan
- lemak yang diperlukan adalah amat penting untuk kegiatan harian kanak-kanak tersebut

* kurang fiber/"fibre"
- sistem penghadaman kanak-kanak masih belum matang untuk bekerja keras dalam memproses makanan yang mengandungi fiber yang tinggi /"high-fibre food"


* kacang tidak digalakkan sehingga usia mereka 5 tahun
- mungkin akan mengakibatkan tercekik
- alahan/"allergy" terutama kacang tanah,boleh menjadi masalah dalam tumbesaran kanak-kanak

Anakku Hassan...

Hari ini genap la usia anakku Hassan 18 bulan...dah besar, semakin bijak, semakin semangat badannya, dan makin mengada-ngada.....dan memanjakan dirinya....

Semenjak peristiwa "Umi peluk Koala", Hassan makin mengada-ngada, cemburu pada koala tak hilang-hilang lagi (sejak gi Lone Pine kat Brisbane). Tidak boleh berenggang langsung dengan Uminya, pantang Umi tak de depan matanya...dipanggil-panggil "Umi..Umi.."..... Dah pandai mintak dipeluk ..."Polok....Poolok...." Dipeluknya Umi kuat-kuat...macam dia tengok Koala peluk Umi la ...hehhehe... anakku yang bijak ni.... Tergugat dia dengan Koala tu, takut Koala amik "ushu" dia (susu umi lee...)...bengang sungguh Hassan dengan Koala. Mungkin Koala tu sama besar je ngan dia masa Umi peluk Koala, dan peluk elok jee..... diam je Koala tu, Hassan menangis pun Koala tu tak gerak-gerak pun...hehheheh

Minggu lepas masa di Brisbane, kami belikan Hassan sebuah buku "Children's World Atlas". Di dalam buku tersebut terdapat gambar Bendera-bendera negara di seluruh dunia. Setiap hari sekali, Bapak Hassan akan mengajar Hassan mengenal bendera-bendera tersebut. Buku tersebut menjadi buku kegemarannya. Hassan akan tertunggu-tunggu masa untuk dia belajar bendera. Seronok sangat apabila melihat Hassan belajar. Hari ini genap seminggu buku tersebut dibelikan dan diajar, Hassan dapat mengenal 10 bendera. Walaupun tidak semua dia dapat menyebut nama negara-negara tersebut. Dan dia dapat membezakan antara bendera Australia dengan New Zealand, setelah diterangkan apa perbezaan antara keduanya.

"OOsyia fleek"/"Australia Flag" adalah perkataan yang selalu dia sebut, bila dia nampak aje bendera Australia dimana-mana sahaja (walaupun aku tak perasan), dia akan menunjukkan bendera tersebut.

Bendera-bendera yang Hassan baru kenal...
Australia : OOsyia
Canada : Nanana
Malaysia : .....sia
Amerika : Ameka
New Zealand : OOO zelen
Turkey : Tuki
Hong Kong : Hokong
Japan : Pan
Brazil : Bazil
United Kingdom (UK) : OK

Hassan suka naik bas. Seronok dia kalau dapat jalan-jalan. Siap cakap "jalan....bas...busstop"/(nak gi jalan, naik bas, tunggu kat bas stop - cam ni la lebih kurang apa yang Hassan nak cakap tu..) . Dah pandai bila aku minta dia tahan bas kat "bus stop"...dia pun angkat tangan (cam kita tahan bas la..)..hhehhe..bijak..bijak..

Macam-macam perangai Hassan dalam masa 18 bulan ni...WOW!! sekejap je dah besar anakku....rasa macam baru semalam aku melahirkannya...

Hassan ..Anakku Sayang....
