Chemical Free titanium dioxide or zinc oxide sun block
Swim suit and swim diaper
Step 1
The chemical free sun block is a much better choice for your little one. These types of sun block work by performing as an actual barrier between the skin and the sun. You can apply it right before you go in the sun and it will still be effective. You might feel like you cannot fully rub it into the skin but that's ok, that's how this type of sun block works.
Apply all over your baby and also your self.
Step 2
Usually once their try and cannot get the hat off, they go on about their day and leave it alone.
Put on the swim suit, swim diaper, and t-shirt to protect your child's skin further and also to prepare them to go into the water. Also put on the hat to help keep the sun out of their eyes and to protect their head which can get sunburned as well. You will find the strap on the hat useful as your baby may try to remove it.
Step 3
Let your little one feel the sand. Many babies might want to eat the sand and it can be hard for you not to let them touch it in hopes of preventing them from eating it. The best thing they can do to learn is touch and feel everything around them so try to let them. They might eat a little, it won't hurt them, and some babies have even been known to eat a lot of sand and it just comes right back out the other end. Let them feel it, crawl in it, make wet sand and let them play in it, get down and enjoy the sand with them.
Step 4
You shouldn't plan more than a couple hours at the beach anyway, but you still might need to feed your little one a snack while you are there. If they eat from a jar of course it will be cleaner and easier. However, if they are feeding themselves it's a good idea to sit them down on a clean towel and feed them some dry snacks. You are at the beach, so inevitably sand will get everywhere, but you can eliminate a huge amount by not bringing anything wet to eat.
Step 5
Anytime you need to get the sand off... during diaper changes, before eating, when you leave... this trick works great for the whole family. Rub baby powder or cornstarch onto your skin and the sand magically comes off.
GLORY BEACH RESORT on the 30th and 31st of January!

a few days ago blogger sarah was in miri to look for houses...yes, we're gonna be miri buddies soon....ehehhee...ive been following her blog as well as her baby signs blog. i love the techniques that shes been using...cuma susah sgt nak schedule my time masa kt kl for the classes. since she was in Miri for a few days only, we only managed to have dinner together....took the chance to invite a few other frens also...miss them..asyik2 balik KL ye hazam...ehehehhee
we had an awesome night dining and hanging out at siamese secret
the food was great...the company was amazing...
sampai all the babies and kids dah gosok2 mata
pity bilal...way past his bedtime kan
sarah was such a loving mother....and yes, every minute was a educational moment for bilal...
let me say, Bilal ( sarah's prince ) is the perfect testimonial on the effectiveness of thebaby signs program...during our 2 hour date...he signaled ( and said ) car, star, baby, eat, pick up truck and sleep. i think there were a few more...tak ingat. Bilal is one clever 14 month old baby....masyaAllah....sgtlah kagum
but anyway...
Babies have a lot to say....even before they can actually speak. With the Original Baby Signs® Program, babies and toddlers can communicate what they see, what they need and even how they feel by using simple easy-to-do signs for words like "Eat", "Milk" and "More". Research has shown that the Baby Signs® Program decreases frustration, help babies talk sooner, enriches parent-child relationships, and boosts' babies intellectual development.

info from www.babycentre.com
What causes heat rash?
Your baby sweats to cool down. If he sweats so much that his pores clog and sweat can't get out, heat rash develops. (Babies and young children are particularly prone to heat rash because they have smaller pores than adults do.)
Hot, humid weather is prime time for heat rash, but you might see it in winter, too, if your baby is wearing too many layers of clothing or is running a fever. Sometimes a baby will get heat rash after a cough ointment is rubbed on his chest.
Is heat rash serious?
No, but it's a sign that your baby is too warm. Overheating can lead to serious conditions such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
Is heat rash painful for my baby?
No, it isn't usually painful, but it can be itchy. Some of the bumps may be tender to the touch.
How should I treat heat rash?
Start by cooling your baby off. Loosen or remove his clothing, and move him into an airy room or a shady spot.
You might place him on a cotton towel, which can help absorb his sweat. Apply cool, wet washcloths to the areas affected by the rash. A lukewarm bath with a little baking soda — 2 teaspoons per gallon — can also help.
Let him air dry rather than rubbing him with a towel. And don't use ointments or creams on the rash. These can make the rash worse by trapping moisture.
If it's hot at night, use an air conditioner or a fan in your baby's room. Direct the fan near your baby but not directly on him. Or place it far enough away so that only a gentle breeze reaches him. You want your baby to be comfortable, not chilled.
Trim your baby's fingernails regularly sohe doesn't scratch himself if the rash starts itching. You may want to put little socks on his hands at night so he won't scratch himself while he sleeps.
dr said, the rashes will come out...
banyak2 n then dia hilang mcm tu je
so no need to worry
dia tak garu pulak...
cuma he rubs his face now n then...xsure sbb gatal or bcoz hes sleepy
sbb tpt lain dia xde garu...
nasib baik, hes still his old self....main2 gelak2....klo x mesti mama nangis jgk
what a very nice way to celebrate being 8 months old...
demam for 2 days before
i think hes teething...tapi xde kuar pun gigi
but
according to www.parents.com these are the signs of teething
biting ( sakit! )
drooling ( yup...habis basah baju )
gum rubbing ( he uses his fingers )
sucking ( mmgla selalu )
irritability ( sometimes he'll start biting me and then nangis for no reasons )
wakefulness ( tido 2 jam, wake up crying, gigit 2 jari, BF then tido and ulang blk )
ear rubbing ( xsure , bcoz he does this whenever hes annoyed or sleepy )
facial rash ( yup! dah start ada blk , ingatkan bcoz i byk mkn seafood tp sblm ni xde pun )
decreased appetite ( 5 spoons then terus pandang tpt lain , xnak dah )
mild temperature ( 38 degrees i think xmild kot )
and yes, hes been doing/having all that.
but then thank god his temperature was 38.8 tapi still main2 dgn sangat aktif...
tu yg pelik tu...cuma at nights he frequently wakes up to be nursed which is always accompanied with attempts to bite my n*****s...ouch!!!!!!!!!!!sgt sakit tau...
usually rafiq hates to be cuddled...kejap2 xpe... he wants to be free...(provided im aroundlah kan) but these past 2 days...he wants me to hug him, he wants me to cradle him at times..main2 kejap pastu dtg nak peluk2 mama.
mama tau...
rafiq tak comfortable ye sayang....kesian dia....
so now,
ive started using the mothercare silicone baby toothbrush on him
he loooovessss it! mata stim2 sedap kot... gosok2 gusi yg gatal tu
i think i need to get dentinox.. as adviced by mommy steph
hopefully he'll stop giving me those painful bite marks
anyway,
happy 8 months old rafiq zulkarnain... ur as clever and bright as ever... we love u so much... muah
im a mother, watever stuff thats bothering me is nothing in comparison to catering to rafiq's needs everyday mommies yg tanya2 tu....no...xdelah...its just me...ehehhehehe.
n moreover

*he will cry for no reasons if im bz doing something...pastu bila BF dia...nyonyot 3 kali n then dia pandang I dgn mata bolat...as if "apa?sapa nangis?gotcha!!" and then sambung main...sabar jelah
my cayang double trouble...notty2 bam bam bucuk
*he will sit in his playpen bila terjaga mlm2 n then call "apappapaaa" pastu nangis mcm kena dera calling papa to get him out ( ni mmg kerja papa.i xpnh bgn angkast rafiq)...n then bila hubby letak him next to me , he will hug me , put his palm on my b**bs and then tido...susu xnak plak.nak menyibuk bawah ketiak je
*he plays on his own, and then if i bgn je nak pg toilet ke kan...he'll suddenly starts panjat sofala, TV cabinet la, almarila..and then pusing pandang I muka notty....of course la mama will patah balik n get him...gedik tau!
*if im bz onlining, dia sibuk nak BF pastu nak terus tido on my lap.klo bgn nk letak dia genggam my hair kuat2.hes doing that right now..lenguhnyaaa..
*he wants to eat when other ppl are eating..so kdg2 i pura2 makan benda yg dia makan..so that dia pn nak makan...dia tau his bowl dgn org lain punye mangkuk..so he knows we're tricking him.so kenalah i makan jgk at times.
also, he doesnt want to eat the same thing in one day. pagi lain , ptg lain... pastu klo makan mmg kena ckp2 dgn dia...or nyanyi2 .. or kira 1 spoon, 2 spoon.... klo x dia marah. esp suap n i tgk tv. dia mmg marah. tp klo kita buat semua tu dia mmg pndang tpt lain sbb dia kunon2 malu hahahaha
noooooooo not apple juice nooooo
* klo dia dah pro satu benda tu and i ask him to do it again dia mesti tak nak...kadang2 dia saja je tgk i muka notty mcm "mana ada" ...tp kalau biar sorang2 amboi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- dia suka serang grill depan tu panjat, diri nak tgk papa dah balik ke blum
- panjat TV cabinat xnak bg mama tgk tv
- panjat keluar walker...semalam the walker tu sebelah sofa, i went to get the remote, tau2 je dia dah duduk atas sofa...stunt apakah ini????bertuah betul
* dia sukaaaaaa sgt i urut2 sambil nyanyi2 sambil geletek2...mesti dia sengih besar nampak gusi yg xde gigi tu and then pandang tpt lain. malu la kunun.....but if i stop dia tgk i blk...hahahahaha gedik!!!!suka suka
*if i pick him up to put him in his walker dia akan kangkang, n thn bdn n kaki dr msk dlm. unless i dah tjk his feeding bowl, or i run around him , dia sukala nk kejar. last2 walker tu jd mcm feeding chair plak pupose nye
* he will drink plain water in his sippy cup or cup only. klo letak dlm botol dia buat muka disgusted . nasib baik when eating hes ok minum byk2 pon. tp time2 lain mmg dia tak nak.nsb baik still bf...so oklah sbb bm pun mmg air kn.and he hates fruit juice jgk...klo fruits ptg2 bg dia gigit2 dia nak.
* skrg suka turun dr tpt2 tinggi.sbb dah pro turun dr blkg wooohoooooo...penat ni ajar dr baby.tp bila dia dah pandai dia over2 asyik nak buat je and then kdg2..dia excited pastu duduk kat edge tu.nnti jatuhla kan...so kena always monitor...masalahnye..bukan monitor bila naik je.kt bawah pon, tau2 je dah panjat naik n nak turun . sgt extreme..
