44 hari berpantang.....

hmmm... kejap je dah 44 hari berlalu sejak kelahiran 'awang chik' sorang tu.... nak dikatakan berpantang tak de lah sgt kot... my mum jaga the way her mother did for her...and after talking to my cousins it seems that dlm my mum's adik beradik yg jaga betul pantang sorang je kot... my Aunty Kamar... itu pun because dia pantang ikut her mother in law...

so how did i 'berpantang' ? basically i just stayed away from sayur2 yang 'berangin' or 'sejuk'... like timun, petola, kangkung...ada org cakap sayur berjalar seme  tak boleh... yang pasal ayam, daging seme tu... saya bantai je seme... Mak Cik Tun, my tukang urut cakap, org tak bg makan ayam tu sbb setgh org gatal...tp kalau awak tak gatak mkn je la'...and so i did.... ikan haruan? sekali pun tak makan...hahaha...maklumlah saya sgt memilih bab ikan2 ni...so in an effort to get me to eat fish...my mum proceeded to cook ikan tenggiri, ikan aji-aji, ikan bawal....nak senang ikan2 yg isinya putih la ye....白身魚....

my mum has this theory that if you pamper yourself too much...it will take that much longer to get well... it's all up to that person... cuak jugak lah...coz i didn't really ask her dia amik cuti brapa lama... turns out my mum just took 1 day leave because harith was born a day before the chinese new year holidays would start.... so since my mum had already hinted on it.... the day i got back from hospital i stupidly tackled the baby's laundry on my home... that was only a day after harith's birth....haa..amik ko...sakit pingang after that...so my mum took over the baby's laundry and all forms of cooking...

i did everything that had to do with harith...change his diapers even gave him his baths since day 2... that first bath at home was quite a laugh...haha... i got half of the bedroom wet when i accidentally let go of the shower head when i was filling harith's tub... dah lah my mum wasn't home...klakar2...hihi.... changing diapers was a no brainer..thanks to ample practice with alauddin dulu...hihi

what about jamu? well yang ni tak try lagi...sebab harith kena jaundice... your not allowed to eat jamu, or large ammounts of spices (termasuk lada hitam - which most people tgh pantang eat a lot of) if you breastfeed...beacause it might affect the baby... masa kena  harith admit kat hosp sebab jaundice tu ada one lady nye baby kena masuk wad ...jaundice disebabkan olh jamu...the lady was shocked since her three elder children had no jaundice even though she took the same jamu... but then evry baby is different right... and so because of that... my jamu is still in the box...

barut...haa...yang ni pakai... Mak Cik Tun even asked me to buy this cream called Krim Mustajab..which is actually a ginger based cream to be applied before the putting on the barut...

banyak kena tegur masa friends and family datang jenguk harith.... even the nurses from the nearby klinik kesihatan who came for a 'lawatan di rumah' pun tegur...mana maknya? i answered...saya...''eh tak mcm org pantang pun dah jln sana sini.'....my cousins pulak ckp...'jgn dok jln sgt...nanti herot'....hahah...dunno lah...

i'm not against the traditional way of 'berpantang'...it's just i think you have to adapt to your own situation... my mom went back to work the next Monday..and harith and i had our 2 day stay in an-nur because of his jaundice... so after day 10 i was on my own...the only thing i didn't do was cook my own meals....mummy did that every morning before she left for work..and bacause i was on my own, i couldn't do some of the more tedious things like mandi daun or pakai pilis....nak mandi pun always rushing...especially if you start hearing the litlle one's cries.... hoping sgt2 that the next time i pantang i get a little more time to myself... things would be easier if hubby was around i guess...at least tak de lah mandi pun nak bekejar kan...
