Muslim MTB?

Walaikumsalam siti and welcome to this forum..



we are already in the 17 day of fasting.. very fast the next two weeks will pass.. :D



so siti you expecting??

 


I am breastfeeding my son so I am not fasting this year. I only fast for 10 days last yr bec I was in my first trimester and I keep throwing up so end up everytime my fast kena broken. I am so buys at work that I didnt get the time to pay fidiyah. Anyone knows how to calculate it?



Oh! about breastfeeding.. I was so upset when I learn that a friend of mine who is breastfeeding also chose fasting over breastfeeding her baby. WHen u fast the milk ss drops rgt. I told her not to fast but she didnt give a reply. I mean Allah swt knows your intention and there are other ways to show your ibaadth during Ramadan right?

 
im fully bf still n alhamdulillah my mmilk as usual..

btw to fast or not to fast is an individual thing. since there's a rukhsah(to lighten up) commands from Allah.. only d individual can determine whether she's able or fit enough to fast or not to..

i was totally worried at first..since i tried to fast a day not in ramadhan.. n my milk supply totally drop.. but not to worry since ive quite a lot of EBM stock in the freezer..

then my hubby said. y not just go on with fasting for few days n c the result.. so i tried 1st day of ramadhan 2nd 3rd n till now.. alhamdulillah..

i managed to do so. ^_^



but mummies dun force urself if u think ur unable to do so k ^_^

 
Fasting makes the milk drop i agree cause my milk also drop alot.



But i eat Funegreek in the night after break fast. I pump 6hrly so that it will not clash with my working timing ...

 
anishrei --> since u only fast for 10 days meaning u skip for 20 days right? and u havent even 1 day of fasting kan?

so the calculation will be : 20 x $1(amt i paid at darul arqam) = $20.

so $20. ^_^

 
I am able to fast but I choose not too because my son prefers to latch on. I have trained him with fm/edm/bf-ing. He is ok with everything but recently he gets cranky if i dun latch him on during the night as i always do. So cant afford a drop in milk supply. already my ss not enuff to sustain my son's drinking capability.



Siti- thanks! instead of giving the money here, can i have my niyaat and send the money to india for the poor in terms of food?

 
since.. ur here in singapore it's better for u to pay in singapore. bcos muis will do the job of handling d $$ as for the poor in india maybe u want to donate instead of fidyah..?

 
THe reason why I am saying that I prefer to donate direct to the poor in needy countries is bec I am an auditor and hv assisted in mosque audits. and frankly am not happy with the ways the mosques handle and distribute fidiyah funds. I think it shdnt be a problem rgt. It the niyaat that matters. I do donate money to India regularly too. You'll be surprised how much stomach u can fill with just $20 Singapore dollars.

 
aishah ur due will be end of oct rite? just asking if u wld want kotex loop maternity pad.. cause i do have excess of those.. got it from NUH n another pack i bought and both are opened.. ^_^

 
CT the Funegreek you eat the raw one of you get the capsule from GNC??



i was unluckly with my first one as not able to bf as my supply came late and not enough.. but am so determine for this next one to bf him..

i bought this scared tea online am standing dont want to be drepressed like the first one.

 
yah am due in oct.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



I have not used the loop one before.. is it easy to wear?

At kkh i got the stick one kind to the panties.



If not i can try.. how many pieces you have?

 
cant remember maybe can just drop by ur plce and give it to u..rather than i throw it away.. hmm it's good for the first few days which d flow is quite alot.. ^_^

 
When u ladies mention about the pads. it just drifts me to memory lane. How I delivered my boy. Apr 27. Induced.. and thats the first time ever i had a VE done!- Thank God my gynae is a lady. If not I would have felt super uncomfortable.

And all that blood! *faintz* Luckily there wasnt a mirror in front to reflect and see whats happening down there. If not I wud have fainted... and the PAIN!! I was screaming takbir when baby was crowning. Didnt know what else to do at that time... and serious it was giving my life to give a life... Now I try knwo why Nabi SAW gives such emphasis to respecting mothers.. Alhamduillah

 
Thinking back really makes me laugh.. how the midwife wil say push push.. and i will be going yes yes.. and in my heart i was saying allah pls make this easy for me. Just keep the baby healhy. :D all went well was so lets see for this one.

 
which hospital did you delivered??



btw any of you having the same problem as me as i can't bear to leave my child and come to work. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]



and he will cluch on to me each time i go out of the hse and his crying gives me no heart to come to work..

 
I delivered at Parkway East. 'Family' hospital. heheh!

*Raises hands* My heart really aches when I leave my bb at my ILs and go to work.. the worst is when he is wide awake and smiling at me when I get ready for work.

Yesterday evening we left him at my IL's plc to go break fast with friends and ony went home at about 10pm... my MIL told me that abt 8 plus he kept reaching for her chest (i think he wanted to latch onto me)even after drinking his milk... I latch on whenever I am at home... I felt so gulity... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

 
yah can totally understand that. it is so hard to part with them even for a few minutes.



thats what i did for my first one.. i did not hang out with friends at all. if i were to go out will also bring him. cannot let him go out of sight and they are so cute. i love it when he just comes and huge me. :D really makes my day and i forget all my worries. :D :D :D

 
salam ladies and a very good afternoon..

how is your day today, it is finally FRIDAY.. am so looking forward to the weekend and Hari Raya is nearing. :D

 
Hey Salaams!



Super busy at work today.. just have some breather during break time... Was reading the news on the YOG and stuff online.. I must say there are so many foul-mouthed bloggers online!



Yes yes.. 2 more weekends to rAya!! Yey for celebrations! But am also sad that from last Raya to this Raya, I have dbl-ed in size. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

 
oh yah yesterday was the grand finale..

i think it is expected as generally sg'ans are complianans. :p



Dont worry about that it will decrease as times goes. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Good afternoon all..

Hope all in good health :D



CT how is your son? Today is his discharge day. Lets us all pray for the wellbeing of CT' son. AMEEN

 
Hey salaams!



Have been busy over the weekend! Went over to Geylang bazaar last friday.. the same as last yr.. the kueh per box is cheaper here. $6 per box. Where as in JB RM100 for 4 or 5 boxes...



Sorry Aishah, left u all alone here.. heheh..



Mulishette- how have u been? My boy just rolled over last week. Its his 4th mth! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Alhamdullilah, i'm good.

Some of us Singaporean prefers to go JB to buy kueh coz they claim JB got more varieties and it's cheaper than here. People there think otherwise i guess. Hehe.



My baby just turned 3 months last week. 2 weeks ago, she was showing sign that she's trying to push her body sideway to turn but never able to unless i help with a slight push. Then, her hands got stuck,can't pull it out and start to cry.

Just curious,it takes step by step or just one fine day, baby will just roll over and will be able to pull her hands out independently?

 
muslishette- thats how my son started out too. Now he enjoys showing off his new trick! heheh. Ya they will eventually get their hands out properly..

 
yah my son also the same it is steps that they learn how to control and coordinate they boby movement. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Ic ic..Hehe..Thanks!Just so excited to see how baby progress.



How's ur preparation for Syawal? I guess all are ready..

I'm contemplating if i should put on baby baju kurung or just a simple dress for my 3mths baby. I'm more concern about her comfort. What you ladies think? For 3mths is it ok to put on baju kurung? Will bb get 'rimas' ? [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
i think for short while is okie but not the whole day.. most prefered is to let them wear 100% cotton clothes.

but i think in baju kurang she will look super duper cute.. :D

 
if u said JB as in angsana n larkin the kueh there are quite expensive if were to compare to KUlai jaya or simpang renggam.. i bought a box of cookies..which cost me rm20 each.. ^_^ and here in singapore they sell ard $20 each ..hmm...



btw yah my son is gonna b 7 mth by syawal.. i still prefer him to put on shirt or polo t rather than baju kurung which will make them stuffy.. but yah cant deny ..to put baju kurung on them will be super cute.. hehe..



muslihette... yes my boy's first attempt of rolling when he was 3mths and cried whenever he cldnt move his hand.... and fully roll left right.. at his 4th mths...
