Bismillaah

alHamdulillaah, yesterday Sarah and ibu went to the klinik kesihatan(again!) for Sarah's monthly check up.
(For all married friends-ladies: you all inshaAllaah will have an additional must-go place once you get pregnant and soon be a mother,inshaAllaah. That is KLINIK, be it your panel,private clinics or klinik kesihatan kerajaan. Once a month-minimum. You might have to visit the clinic more often if needed.

I chose klinik kesihatan kerajaan and did not go to the panel clinic simply because I feel more confident wtih the procedures they do at klinik kerajaan - thorough check up everytime-the lab,pharmacy, etc(including Dental clinic) all are there. I have tried going to private clinics for monthly check ups, but I still prefer going to the klinik kesihatan. Waiting time for both places are almost similar btw. No such getting faster service at the private clinics anymore-although at some less popular clinics you can be seen by the doctor in no time.but again, why don't people go there at the first place? Then, although I dont have to pay for the check up at the private clinic, I can still check how much they are charging(my employer) for my check up. Ohohoh...mahal lor for that simple cakap-cakap and check blood pressure and check sikit situ-sini. Apa-apa pun, it is up to your preference. I am a very kampung style momma.)

Singgah di ofis TSTC lepas check up

ok, back to Sarah. alHamdulillaah she has gained another 400g of weight. ehehe I thought another 1 kilo lagi. It might be due to her runny nose, batuk-batuk, and the teething process. She is 4 months already, and her gums is getting ready and busy preparing for the arrival for her first tooth! She has started to drool, and easily waken up from her sleep.gusi gatal rupanya walHamdulillaah. Lagipun, she is very busy meniarap and guling-guling around nowadays.

While waiting for our turn to be seen by the nurse, we got to listen to ceramah pergigian. It's good to be reminded of the importance of keeping our babies mouth and gums (and teeth) clean all the time. The nurse also recommended us to give our babies a drop or two of fresh water a few times a day to help cleaning babies' mouth and throats. Not a lot of water, just a drop or two ya!
(lots of water is not suitable for babies under 6 months old-it can leads to serious danger to the babies, so please breast fed them exclusively inshaAllaah)
