MomBloggersPlanet Cutest Baby in CAR SEAT Contest

Ok...I missed out on the June09 Cutest Baby Contest from MomBloggersPlanet...figured I'd just join the following month's contest instead (I got stuck thinking why Sofia should win the Cutest Baby in Red contest cos she's just oh so adorable....I ended up staring at her picture the whole while)
So, this one 'MomBloggersPlanet Cutest Baby in CAR SEAT Contest'....I cannot miss!!! Lucky I managed to capture these pictures of Sofia when we were on a wedding outing...(her age at the time of picture is approximately 4 months old)

Prizes are courtesy of the following:-
PhotoBookMalaysia : http://www.photobook.com.my/
AliceWonders : http://www.alicewonders.com/

If ever this entry wins...I stand a chance to win:-
One Medium Landscape Hardcover or Medium Portrait Hardcover Photobooks by PhotoBook Malaysia (worth RM144) One bag of his/her choice from AliceWonders (worth from RM50-RM200)

Excitednya maaaak!!! Kalau menang the bag from AliceWonders boleh pass down to Sofia heheheheheh...

Name: Sofia bt Zamir (yes...Sofia je...one solid name will do)
D.o.B: 3rd December 2008


This particular carseat was sponsored by my elder brother (Sofia's PakLong)...who's residing far away in the UK, the least he could give to his one and only niece (for now.. :D). He told us to browse around and select the one we think is best.
After a few trips around the mall, hours and hours of internet browsing (until I dreamt of carseats and strollers...), we decided to purchase a travel system from Maxi-Cosi - the carseat/carrier/rocker/stroller set.
The carseat: Maxi-Cosi cabriofix

Product Details (from Maxi-Cosi website):


For babies from birth to approx. 15 months (up to 13kg)


Integrated Sun Canopy: always on hand and easy to store


Practical belt hooks retain seat belt: for getting the harness system out of the way whilst placing the child in the seat


Handy retractable buckle: for getting the buckle out of the way whilst placing the child in the seat


Ideal 3-in-1-travel system combining the Maxi-Cosi/Quinny pushchair


Excellent test results in combination with Maxi-Cosi EasyFix/Easybase Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix simple to install on base using click system


The Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix is installed with a 3-point belt (I bet Sofia can drive an F1 car with this kind of harnest cos it's soooo safe - but in the picture she's not wearing it lar :p cos we've reached our destination hehehe)


Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix in combination with EasyFix can be installed with IsoFix and/or 3 point belt


Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix in combination with EasyBase is installed with a 3-point belt


Fits the Bugaboo, Quinny Buzz and Zapp pushchairs to form a travel system (and it's universal :D)


Ok ok enough of me promoting the carseat...so my 2 sens worth about using a carseat:-


"If you plan to use it regularly...introduce your child to the carseat as early as possible...cos from our experience with little Sofia, she was abit reluctant at first and always tries to prop up and wants to be held...but I assured her by sitting by her side and communicating with her."


"Make sure to strap up tight (not so tight sampai baby uncomfortabe laaa)"


So here goes....wish us luck ;)

the day when i went to see the doctor...

and she pressed my belly till it hurt!

DR: berak u macam mana?
me: haaaaaa eerrrrrrrr (agak terkejut sebab macam dah a few times i went to the ladies this morning alone), sihat kot :p

i've been feeling uncomfortable around my belly area these past few weeks, especially when i need to reach into the machine and change stuff, so she went on to pressing my belly until i shouted "OUCH!!" i didn't know it hurt that bad before!

yes...i must confess...i am constipated...no not literally...physically! dulu masa pregnant kena dah...haaaa tak serik lagi ye!

balik ni sure kena leter ngan hubby yang without fail demands me to drink lotsa water...and always shows off how much he drank..."i dah minum AMPAAAT gelas air...you baru brapa???"

The night I got scolded by the Minister of Health

Serious tak tipu...I did get a scolding from Datuk Liow Tiong Lai...in my dreams :p heha

"Eh you're breastfeeding, right? Why aren't you pumping? Don't be lazy laa!! Apaaani Go go!!"

All thanks to reading about the widespread of H1N1 in Malaysia in the papers with his name splashed all over...and hubby telling me to pump before I slept that night - bangun tido and geleng kepala~

the dreaded 6 month slump...gRrRr!

have read about it...and dreaded it! some breastfeeding mothers might experience a sudden drop in their routine yield after 6 months...and I've hit my yield drop.My usual 10oz is only yielding ~7.5ozs (and if i'm lucky enough...9ozs).
Several factors to 'thank' for this (hampass sungguh)...

1) the capital L-A-Z-Y no la...am not lazy to pump OK! it's just sometimes I have to push back my pumping time by a few hours...but never be lazy ok para ibu yang bakal exclusively breastfeed!

2) youre baby really needs to be directly fed...tapi sofiakusayang prefers the bottle sebab susu badan lambat kuar...she'll start screaming if so...(oh so demanding anakku)

3) hormonal changes (kot)..but I don't feel anything different pun


I guess now I should get back to my 'boosting milk supply routines' again...chaiyok to myself!
