Salam and Good Day to all :D

I received this article from BabyCenter. So, i decided to share with all of you since this issue is very serious issue.


What is dengue?

Dengue (or denggi) is one of the most common mosquito-borne diseases in Malaysia. It is so common that the Health Ministry maintains a current dengue report on its homepage, updated weekly.

Dengue causes a high fever and a rash. Most people with dengue will be ill for about 10 days and, with the right treatment, will then recover.
How does dengue spread?

The female tiger mosquito spreads the dengue virus. Unlike most mosquitoes, dengue-causing mosquitoes bite during the day.

These mosquitoes breed in warm, humid weather and in stagnant water. This is why the number of dengue cases increases during the monsoon season.


What are the symptoms of dengue fever?

Dengue in infants and toddlers usually starts with the symptoms of a viral illness:
high fever or temperature;
runny nose;
cough;
a mild skin rash.

Older children may have:
a high fever;
pain behind the eyes and in the joints;
backaches and headaches.

They may also develop a red and white patchy skin rash. This may be followed by:
loss of appetite;
nausea;
vomiting;
itchiness on the soles of the feet.

Most people with dengue feel very weak. This can last for some time after the illness.
What do I do if I think my child has dengue fever?

If your child has a fever and skin rashes or aching joints, contact your doctor immediately. As the symptoms of dengue and chikungunya are similar, your doctor may ask for a blood test to confirm the diagnosis.

There is no specific cure for dengue, but there is treatment for the symptoms. Your doctor may prescribe paracetamol for the fever. Don't give your child any anti-inflammatories - they could affect your child's blood platelets.

You can:

make sure your child gets plenty of rest;
give him light and nourishing food;
put a wet cloth on his forehead every so often to help keep the fever down.

Dengue may last up to 10 days, but some people may continue feeling tired for up to a month.
How can I reduce the chances of my child picking up dengue?

There is no vaccine against dengue. The best way to protect your child is to get rid of the mosquitoes that spread the virus. Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. Make sure your house and the surrounding area is free of stagnant water, rotting vegetation and old flowerpots, especially in the monsoon season.

You could also: 

dress your child in long-sleeved clothes and long pants to minimise skin exposure;
dress your child wear light-coloured clothes (dark colours attract mosquitoes);
use citronella oil-based creams and sprays or other herbal mosquito repellents;
use mosquito nets while sleeping;
install mosquito meshes on windows;
air conditioning also helps keep mosquitoes at bay.

Even if your child has had an attack of dengue, it does not give him immunity against the other three closely-related, but distinct dengue viruses. Untreated dengue can develop into dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) which can cause bleeding, liver failure, convulsions and even death. Also, dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) usually develops in people who have already had dengue. So, prevention is very important.

Assalamualaikum and Good Day uols.

My scheduled post again. Just a quick one. End of the year kan byk sale sana sini kan. Online sales sangat la byk. Pening mak ok!

I bought these GAP sleepwear from my fren. Very affordable price!

Assalamualaikum and Good Day uols.

Actually, we ols dah ada kat KLIA ni waiting for our flight 3pm nanti. Doakan kami selamat menunaikan ibadah umrah diberkati Allah, selamat pegi and selamat pulang yer.

Last week, i tried making Almond milk for Ayser. Yela kan, i had to consume ubat tahan period for my umrah. The effect is my breastmilk production will decrease tremendously. So, risau la jugakkan. My dad suggested bawak soy milk powder which i dont agree to give to him. Instead, i made Almond Milk for him. Kene la bagi test minum ikut 4 day rule tu nk make sure there is no allergy la kan.

So far, Alhamdulillah no allergy. Hopefully, ada la jual Almond Milk kat sana. Although xde homemade yang fresh milk pon jadi la for emergency je ni. InsyaAllah my production is still enough for him. Ameen.

By the way, i used my Kuvings Silent Juicer je nk buat Almond Milk ni. Kire senang la jugak kan keje sebab half of the hampas2 tu dh di asingkan. Tinggal yang halus2 je la. U ols bole gune blender je blend everything and tapis. Tapis gune cheese cloth tu or gune tapis kain putih teh tu je senang.

Salam and Good Day u ols.

For this week activity, i'm still referring and using printables and information from 1+1+1=1.

Note: This is a very long post!

Find the Balls Sheet
This sheet also i guided him to find from one ball to another ball to make 'B' letter. After that, he scribbled the sheet.



Dot Paint the Balls Sheet
Since we still dont have the Do-A-Dot Marker type, we used the same method as the above to make him familiar with this kind of activity though he still did not understand. I think i will repeat all over again when we finish all 26 letters.

Nov 2013 Week 1 (4 Nov - 10 Nov)

Salam and Good Day u ols. This week, i started seriously our homeschooling activities. FYI, i refer and use the printables and information from 1+1+1=1. You can refer there too. I also refer to other blogs as well such as Little Tiger Growing Up. I might change the activities that suits my son.

At the moment, i'm referring to 1+1+1=1 because i need to get used to this kind of activities and be more creative :D.

For this week, we start from A. Each week 1 letter.
