Your 1-month-old's development

Holding her head up

Your baby's neck muscles are getting stronger, which allows her to hold up her head for short periods. She can also hold it up for a few moments while lying on her stomach and may even be able to turn it from side to side. She may be able to hold it up when she's in a car seat or front or back carrier, especially if she has lots of support and you use special baby headrests designed to help her in those situations. 

Exploring extremities

At birth, your baby had no idea her arms and legs were attached to her. That's all changing now as she starts exploring her body. The parts she'll discover first are her hands and feet. You can encourage her interest in them by holding her arms above her head and asking 'How big's the baby?' or by reciting 'This Little Piggy' and counting her toes. 

Learning to soothe herself

Babies love to suck. They need to suck. In fact, you may have discovered that a pacifier works wonders in helping your baby calm herself. And when her pacifier's not around, she may even be able to find her thumb or fingers to suck. 

Look who's babytalking now

Your one-month-old may gurgle, coo, grunt and hum to express her feelings now. Be sure to coo and gurgle back, and talk to her face to face. A few babies may also begin early squeals and laughter. If you have things to do, she'll still enjoy hearing your voice from across the room. She'll hold your gaze for ever-longer periods now. 

Even though your baby has been able to recognise you since she was a few days old, by the end of this month she may be able to show it. About half of all babies this age begin to exhibit an obvious recognition of their parents: they react differently to mak and ayah than they do to strangers. Your baby may quiet down and make eye contact with you; some babies at this age are able to smile when they see their parents. 

Baby listens and enjoys music

Now that your baby is awake for longer periods during the day, you can use these times to stimulate her sensory development. Try singing nursery rhymes or playing music to her. The sound of wind chimes or a ticking clock will also amuse your baby. The more varied the offerings, the richer the impact. Inevitably, you'll see your child react more pleasurably to one selection over another as she begins to develop preferences. 

Eyes can track objects now

Having learned to focus with both eyes, your baby can now track a moving object, something she may have been able to do for brief periods since birth. A simple rattle passed in front of her face will often transfix her. Or you can play eyes-to-eyes by moving very close to her face and slowly nodding your head from side to side; often her eyes will lock onto yours. 

The shops are packed with developmental toys, but you'll do just as well with everyday household objects. Pass shiny foil or a bright plastic ladle from side to side in front of her. Then try moving it up and down. This should attract your baby's attention, but she probably won't be able to smoothly follow vertical motion for about three months.

Pregnancy di bahagikan kepada 3 bahagian. Jumlah keseluruhan minggu mengandung di kira sebagai 40 minggu bermula drp tarikh terakhir period. Jadi,

1. Trimester pertama bermula drp minggu 5 hingga minggu ke 12. 
2. Trimester kedua minggu 13 hingga ke minggu 26.
3. Trimester ketiga minggu ke 27 hingga ke minggu 40.

19th month

Your 19-month-old's development

A more adult view of the world

At around 19 months, your toddler will begin to understand when things don't conform to grown-up ideas. She'll laugh at something that's obviously wrong -- like calling a giraffe a zebra or calling a brother a sister. She'll also recognise when something isn't how it should be, like a stuffed bear with an eye missing or a new stain on the carpet. 

Growing vocabulary

Although you're probably still understanding less than half of what your toddler says, she's beginning to understand most of the words you use around her. She's also having a vocabulary spurt and putting together pairs of words, like "Me go" or "You put." 

Bossiness and negotiation

To reduce power struggles as your toddler strives for independence, make sure you treat her the way you'd like to be treated. Try compromise instead of commands. Instead of "you can't go outside now," you might say, "we can read a book now and go outside later." Instead of "you must pick up the blocks before dinner," you could make it into a game: "I'll pick up the puzzle pieces while you pick up the blocks." 

Socialising

Your toddler will get all the stimulation she needs from unstructured play, so you can steer clear of formal lessons until she's at least three or older. Mother and toddler groups, and playing in friends' houses give her a chance to play near other children, but don't expect children to play with each other at this age.

03.08.2012
saLam~
14 ramadhan....

Hari ni pagi² lg aku dah disuruh minum, of coz ar puasa aku batal kn...huhu :(
Tapi ko terpaksa terima jugak la kan, sebab itu tuk kebaikan ko ngn baby jugak....
Air ape yg aku kne minum??

Air gula laa...huhu untuk pe sebenarnya air gula tu??
Setahu aku la kn air tuu untuk detect ko de masalah diabetes ke tak!! Sebabnya walaupun family ko x de penyakit keturunan nih tapi disebabkn ko dah pregnent....risiko tu tetap ade.....dengan kate lain ko akan menderita (diabetes semasa hamil). Keadaan ini dipanggil sebagai 'gestational diabetes’.

Semasa hamil diabetes akan berlaku kerana paras gula (glucose) ibu melebihi paras normal. Keadaan jangka pendek ini berlaku semasa hamil sahaja dan paras gula tersebut akan kembali ke paras normal selepas bersalin. 4% dari wanita hamil mengalami gejala diabetes ketika hamil dan 70% dari mereka akan pulih dari gejala tersebut.

Bahaya ke kalau kita mengidap gestational diabetes nih??

Jawapan nye :- 
YA!! Antara Kesannya Terhadap Bayi

1. Kematian kandungan dlm rahim : Berisiko tinggi berlaku kematian bayi dlm kandungan. 
2. Pembesaran bayi yg berlebihan : Gula dalam darah yg berlebihan menyebabkan bayi menjadi besar (macrosomia) membawa kepada masalah kesukaran untuk bersalin. Bayi yg mempunyai saiz yg melebihi 4 kg akan mendapat risiko kecacatan bahu.
3. Tekanan darah rendah (hypoglycemia) di kalangan bayi baru lahir : Paras gula dalam darah yang tinggi membuatkan bayi menghasilkan lebih banyak insulin utk mengurangkan paras gula dalam darah semasa dlm rahim. Insulin yang berlebihan menyebabkan hypoglycemia berlaku kepada bayi setelah dilahirkan dan bayi memerlukan penyusuan yg kerap. Dalam kes² tertentu, penyelesaian melalui intravenous (IV) gula diperlukan atau jika tidak bayi akan mengalami kecacatan otak.
4. Simtom lemah pernafasan : Bayi yg mempunyai ibu yg mengalami diabetes semasa hamil boleh berisiko tinggi untuk mendaptkan kesukaran bernafas dan memerlukan sokongan ventilator.
5. Bayi pra-matang mudah mendapat demam kuning (jaundice).
6. Berisiko tinggi untuk menghidap diabetes jenis ke-dua dan kegemukkan (obesity) kemudian hari. 

Kesan Terhadap Ibu Pula

1. Wanita yg sedang hamil berisiko tinggi untuk menghidap 'pre-eclampsia' (mempunyai tekanan darah tinggi dan berlebihan protein dlm air kencing).
2. Seseorang wanita berisiko tinggi utk mendapat jangkitan seperti vaginal moniliasis (jangkitan faraj), jangkitan pada luka yg menyebabkan lambat untuk pulih.
3. 50% dari wanita hamil boleh menghidap diabetis jenis ke-dua kemudian hari.

Macam mana ko nak tahu ko mengidap gestational diabetes nih??

Huh!! sebab tu laa ko kne minum air gula untuk mengDiagnosis ko mengidap diabetes ni ke tak...sebab kebanyakkan ibu² yang menghidap diabetes semasa hamil ni tidak mempunyai tanda² dan simpton² klu ade pun tidak diketahui puncanya. Okey antara tanda dan simtom² diabetes yang biasa, seperti BMI tinggi sebelum mengandung >25kg/m2, terdapat gula dalam air kencing dan berat badan naik mendadak, tapi sekarang pemeriksaan diabetes semasa hamil menjadi sebahagian drpd rutin pemeriksaan hamil dari 24 minggu ke 28 minggu kehamilan di kebanyakkan klinik. Diagnosis ni di kenali sebagai 'glocose tolerance test (GTT)'.

Macam mana GTT dilakukan??

1. First ko perlu berpuasa selama 8 jam sebelum melakukan ujian tersebut so mase ni aku x makan laa mase sahur kn..dah hari ni free² aku x bole pose... huhu :(
2. Pas tu ko akan dapat air minuman yang mengandungi gula sebanyak 75g. [Air yg aku dpt  cuma plain jer air glukose biase x der ler perasa² bagai oren ker anggur ker mcm yg penah aku bace kt blog² mummy lain huhu].
3. Ujian gula dalam darah akan diperiksa sebelum ko minum air gula pagi tu kul 8 pagi dan selepas 2 jam kul 10 pagi darah ko akan diambil lagi skali kat lengan.
4. Lepas 2 jam jika paras gula dalam darah ko melebihi 140 mg/dl, maka ko telah di diagnosis sebagai 'gestational diabetes'!!!.
5. Paras gula dalam darah yang normal berdasarkan sumber dari kriteria diabetes oleh World Health Organization (WHO) ditunjukkan dalam jadual kat bawah ni. 

Puasa	Lepas 2 jam
≤ 7.0 mmol/ l	≤ 7.8 mmol/ l

Macam mana rasa air gula tu sedap ker??

Haha...rasenya macam ko minum air letak gula terlebih ar...huhu depends pada masing² punya tekak kot, aku rase ok jer..sebab pikir macam air ubat kn so telan kerana terpaksa ar...x der laa pulok mase tgh minum separuh jalan tu nk termuntah ke terpitam ke tak plok..klu nk ikutkan manis lagi air kt kdi² mamak tu kot...cuma die x der perase jer huhu.

Keputusan ape yang aku dapat??

Selepas dua kali buat ujian darah tu kan....selepas 2 jam aku dok melepek kt klinik tunggu pukul 10 kan akhirnya name ku di panggil kan dan.... berita yg paling tak besttt aku dengar dan aku tengok sendiri kt mesin test blood tuu mmol/l aku menunjukkan angka 7.9!!! owh my....huhu Okey akhirnya aku di diagnosis sebagai mengidap gestational diabetes!!! walaupun cuma terlebih 0.1 jer dari paras normal tapi diorg sgt strict hokey still cop aku sbg menghidap diabetes tak nak lah nanti pape jadi kat aku ngn baby next time...pas tu tak kan ko nk biar jer wat ta tau kan. So aku redho je laa tak per...Allah sayangkan aku..tak nak aku tanggung banyak dosa... sebab tu bagi aku sakit kn....lepas nie ade banyak laa prosedure kesihatan yg perlu aku tempuhi dan lalui...
