Weaning

I've been trying to wean her since she was 15 months old.
Pelan2 sih. Gw ga mau maksa.
Jd ya obviously adalah episode jerit2, nangis kejernya *this happened on BOTH the baby AND the mother*
Bukannya apa, tp gw jg sometimes very very tired.
Onya bisa bangun 2 jam sekali minta nenen.
Bahkan pas mo numbuh gigi bisa 30 menit sekali bangun.

Dan I know dia nenen itu no longer as "needs", tapi more buat comfort. Karena kalo weekend gw ngelayap seharian (onya ditinggal dirumah dijaga Andi), dia santai2 aja. Tidur aja tanpa nangis. Digendong sebentar juga bobo.

Jd ya pelan2 dibilangin, ga bole nenen lagi.
Trus kadang di tega-in, gak dikasih nenen walo dia nangis2. Tp itupun gak lama gw biarin nangisnya.
I'm not the kind of mom yg bisa blaga budek :(

Jd stage weaningnya Onya tuh gini:

1. Nencoy/Empeng/Pacifier
Yess... Gw in a very desperate need to get a stretch of night time sleep sampe gw kasih empeng!
Sukses???? Ooohhh jelas TIDAK!! Dgn sukses DILEPEH mentah2 ama Onya.
Gw beliin dia nencoy dr yg 20 rebu sampe 200 rebu, dr made in cina sampe made in USA, tetep loh ga ada yg dia mao. Malah dia lebih tertarik gigit2 pinggirannya. Hasilnya? Gw jd punya banyak "bangke" nencoy dirumah. (5 biji)

2. Mulai dibiasain dia gak pules pas di nenen.
Jadi sebelum dia pules, udah gw taro diranjang.
Awalnya nangis.
Lama2 mulai bisa, tapi sebagai gantinya dia suka naro tangan dia diperut gw. Jd tetep skin-to-skin lah.
(It's a very warm feeling)

3. Mulai biasain dia mau tidur sama Andi.
Nah yg ini awalnya dia ga mau, nangis2 kl malem digendong Andi, buset bisa nangis jerit2 dia.

4. Gw ngumpet.
Nah, dia kalo ga liat gw tuh ga nyari nenen. Lebih santai.
Akhirnya 2 weeks ago gw kl malem misah kamar. Nangis2 dia awalnya, satu rumah dikiterin nyariin mami.
Hat up buat Andi yg mau take the commitment buat dgn amat sabar gendong n bujukin onya.

5. Nipple Shield!
Setelah mulai bisa bobo sama Andi, ahirnya dihadirkanlah maminya. Tetep dooong nyari nenen lagii.
Tapi gw beli nipple shield yg sebenernya buat ngelindungin puting kl lecet. Pas onya mo nenen, dia ga suka krn dia dr orok merah kan emang ga pernah minum apapun dari bottle, so she doesn't like rubber silikon dot gitu.
Yes! Kali ini sukses. Gw jejel2in tu nenen ke muka dia, dia malah melengos pegi sambil senyum2 bilang "no! No! Ngga! Ngga!" Gituuuu

Ahirnya dia milih bobo digendong andi lagi. Yay!

kalo bobo siang, kan ga ada andi yg gendong.
Dia minta nenen, tp nenen gw udah gw sarungin. Dia ga suka. Solusinya?? Dia bobo sambil nempelin pipinya ke nenen gw aja. Tp ga nenen. Cuma nyari comfort aja.

3 hari kemaren baru dia mulai bisa bobo cuma gw pangku aja.

Hari ini Andi blg dia tidur udah ga digendong! *gw ngungsi ke kamar onya* jd cuma ditaro diranjang trus dia pules sendiri. Yay!!

So. It's a long proses.. Ini juga masih on going kok.
Ampir 7 bulan nih. Tp gw bener2 pake slow weaning with love. Lagian, anjuran IDAI (ikatan dokter anak indonesia), sebaiknya kan kasih asi 2 taon... And manfaat asi di early year itu luar biasa sih. Onya jaraaang bgt sakit. Kl sakit juga paling common-cold aja.

It's gonna be a beautiful goodbye between Onya and nenen.

Ini salah satu cara gw giving her the best yg gw bisa. Kasih dia bekal good imune-system sampe dia dewasa nanti.

Sekian yah. Dadakan ngantuk nih...

Bucket List

Yep. Been hearing a lot about people dropped dead suddenly. Mulai dari si Adjie Masaid, babenya si Joshua, then just now Emma's friend juga Dadaism died of heart attack. She was 29 years old, just got ,arrayed last October. Life is so fragile. That's why I really hate Andi each time I have to remind him over and over again about healthy lifestyle. Anyway, decided to make a bucket list for myself. 1. Back to NZ 2. Sky dive 3. Vacation to Russia 4. Having more than enough funds for Onya to pursue her degree in England, Oxford University preferably :) 5. Ngeliat Andi punya bodi keren 6. Buying a house for my parents 7. Karet tengsin dijual Hmmm....... Belon kepikiran yg lawn. Nanti di update lg deh

Lavender and Butterfly

My very first (and probably my last) tattoo. Why lavender ?  Because I love the smell.  I love the colour.  Lavender is pretty much the only plant that stays alive in my garden. It thrives in pretty much any weather with very little care. It lives with a big bunch of other lavenders but it can also lives on its own little bundle. It shows strength, and grace. Butterfly means beauty. Not just superficial beauty... but beauty after a storm. Beauty that was earned.  Like, after it went through struggles from a cocoon. Plus, you see butterfly (normally) in a great weather. Adds the beauty to the surroundings, like a balance in the universe.  Psalm 23:6 , is what I really resonate in my life.  That no matter what, no matter where, no matter how many bad decisions I’ve made.... God’s goodness and mercy is always with me. That I’m okay. That the God who made the universe loves me still.  That regardless how fucked up I am, His goodness and mercy is always wi...

A Wife's Heart

Postingan kali ini buat Andi. Feel so blessed beyond words punya suami kaya beliau. Walo banyak rese n nyebelinnya juga. He works really hard. I mean REALLY hard. I know I've complained about him being too busy, but lately he changed. Yes, dia masih sibuk banget di kantor. Yes, dia masih suka 'nyetrap' gw di mobil suru tunggu. Tapi I know that family is his top priority. The house is almost done. Andi spent hours last Sat and Sun buat bebersih rumah. Gw ga boleh ikut. "masih debuan banget" - gitu katanya. He knows Im allergic to dust and frankly, what can a pregnant woman possibly do? Ga mungkin juga kan gw ngangkat2 furniture. Naek tangga aja suka engap. Dapet laporan dari Otoy, Andi ngangkat2 barang ampe mukanya merah, ampe kringetan ngeces2... Gw tau dia pasti cape banget. Tapi begitu pulang he brought nothing but his big, warm smile. "Udah. Nanti gw sekali lagi kesana, finalize bersih2 - then you can come. Tuh gw beliin kelapa, mau diminum sekarang ga?...
