These past few weeks had been exciting for me. I've got to take care my little nephew whom will turn 2 months in few days time.
For some, this might be a day to day routine but for me, all this were extremely new. I've got a brother when I was 3, I don't have any experience taking care of my little cousins and my Mom never babysits anyone.
So when Hazim arrived last weekend and stayed the whole 3 days for Raya Haji in my house (biasanya dia datang kejap2 je, or stayed overnight.Most of the time dia kat rumah atuk lagi satu), my makcikhood instinct was tested. Ahaha.
Jaga baby ni is a weird experience, yet interesting. Masa belum pernah jaga baby, memang excited gila nak tunggu my SIL delivered and tak sabar nak tolong jaga baby tu..(siapa tak suka baby kan). Baby is always adorable and cute and playful, nak-nak my nephew ni sangat aktif dan dah terer gelak walaupun umur tak sampai 2 bulan lagi. Mungkin dia belajar gelak sempena raya haji haritu (ada kaitan ke). Pastu suka buat muka comel, muka kesian, muka cubaan untuk mengamuk dan sebagainya.
Tetapi...
Baby tantrums are unavoided. Si Hazim bertuah ni memang bertuah, pantang letak je kat tilam dia nangis, kalau tak angkat meraung2. Bukan nangis2 comel tu ye, dia nangis cam kena pukul tu. So orang kat umah tu take turns pegang dia,dah tu bila pegang je dia tido. Pastu bangun nangis mintak susu and tido lagi. Time nak sendawa pun payah sangat si kecik ni sebab dia boleh mamai-mamai and tido masa kena tepuk nak burp kan dia. Bertuah betul anak buah aku sorang ni..kalau mengeliat and menguap pun nangis gak, padahal dia sendiri yang buat tu. Kita tak usik pun.
Paling best I learnt to take care of Hazim. Dari tukar nappy, sapu minyak telon, baby oil, bedak, baby lotion, pakai barut, pakai mitten and booties, pakai baju and seluar. I didn't know that siapkan baby ni must be in sequence. Pastu belajar mandikan baby. The good thing is Hazim ni suka mandi, lepas mandi je good mood dan mula bercakap ngan orang tapi baby talk la (macam ooh dan aah) dan membuat sound effect (kat mana la belajar tu). So saya sebagai makcik best bercakap la ngan dia.. siap pi luar rumah tunjuk "Ni kucing", "Ni pokok", " Ni kereta MyVi" "Eh hari dah hujan la Hazim" yelah the expets said that eventhough babies at his age could not understand what people said, but the brain has started to process the things that he hear and see. New things learned : Never knew minyak telon brand Bebiku smells so good. Rasa nak curik je.
Besides, I learned how to make baby's formula milk. Rule of thumb : must be the right mixture of milk and water, and warm. Kalo tak Hazim campak je botol tak nak minum susu sejuk.Memang le senang je buat susu tapi kalo dah sehari dalam 10 kali (dia pakai botol kecik tu), lenguh gak mak ngah. Pastu baby sorang ni susah nak burp, suruh burp dibantainye tido (walaupun masa tu dia tengah duduk), then once in a while bila tengah dukung dia muntah susu sikit2. Selamat la baju semua orang. My luck was when I wore a brand new shirt, wahahaa padan muka saya. Kesimpulan : Jangan pakai baju baru masa tengah dukung baby. Haha and then lepas basuh botol2 susu dia tu, pakai sterilizer plak. New things learned : Baru tahu sterilizer comes in tablets.
On raya's eve I experienced handling baby perut kembung..abis sumer orang berjaga sebab baby nangis tak berhenti (Tapi atuk and abah dia dah selamat di alam mimpi la.. as usual). Macam2 minyak guna, penat nangis dia berenti kejap pastu sambung lagi..sampai la kul 1-2 pagi.
Tula sikit sebanyak kisah seorang makcik.Kalau saya ni makcik jaga 3 hari pun dah rasa penat, mak ayah dia lagi la.. biasanya diorang siap ada shift untuk jaga anak tengah malam. Pastu I think this is a good training ground for me la, for future preparation..
