How to take care of a child?

My mother's home has got no water heater, also no shower. Usually we bath with cold tap water filled in a pail. So baby's bathing water uses hot water cooked with gas. I used to bath everyday with that hot water too.

From using small baby feeding bottles with nipple to drink plain water, use a water bottle with a straw like head instead when a toadler turns 2 years old.


Use this Cosway antibacterial bottle cleaner to cleanse nipple like Fiffy nipple bought at Farley at baby's department, bottles, round pacifier of Pureen bought at baby section and etc.





Bathing time for baby requires warm shower water from the heater to fill up the basin. Grab hold of the shower head and wait for the basin to be refill with sufficient warm water. Or you can just put the shower head into a pail and wait for the pail to be filled with water. Add in small amount of Carrie Junior shower cream into water to create bubbles or apply directly onto body although this is not very much recommended for baby's skin is delicate and sensitive. Bath baby using small cup while sitting on a small plastic stool. Wash baby's delicate skin with handkerchief or small clothe while baby is in a sitting position to ensure cleanliness. Don't forget to wash her under part. Hold baby up to wash her buttock. Use a towel to dry baby's skin. Apply Carrie Junior baby powder with Fiffy powder case and sponge onto baby's neck, tummy, around under part, lift up buttock while applying and back. Put on nappy cream and pampers. Then, put on baby's clothing. Comb her hair neatly. Remember to do it with the window closed else baby catch a cold easily. If baby 大便,use baby wet wipes to clean her xx. During hot days or before sleep, you may reapply powder on baby's body again.

For new born, can learn how to bath a baby on youtube. You can place the basin in between 2 chair or do it in the bathroom. First, wet the head with warm water. Then use a cloth to wipe the eyes, nose, ears and mouth. Then, place the baby inside the basin. Rinse her with water diluted with a small amount of baby wash, as the skin of a new born is very sensitive. Use a cloth to wash her body all over. Then, hold her chest with one hand and show her buttock while the other hand clean it with soap water. Wrap her with a towel and dry her quickly so as not to catch a cold. Do it with windows closed. The next step is the same with last paragraph, but this includes the cleaning and care of her 肚脐 with alcohol and cotton given by the hospital.

Changing diapers on the floor

My daughter is still wearing pampers whole day and night even though she turns 3. I am having a hard time in toilet training task, especially putting her in potty every morning and whenever I got the chance to do so. My husband plays an important role in doing this.

Since my daughter turns 3, I let her bath through showering, meaning while she stands I shower her with warm water. You can too use a pail filled with tap water.

My daughter takes her nap for about 1 to 1 1/2 hour per day. Sometimes she missed her nap. She sleeps at around 12am every night with her father taking her into sleep. Pat lightly on her buttocks.

My child wears pyjamas before she gets to sleep at night. Pyjamas includes long sleeves shirt and long pants. This is to prevent your child from feeling cold at night. Meanwhile, she wore short sleeved shirt at all times or singlet due to the hot weather. Since my child fell down while running by the roadside months ago and hurt her knees, she is reluctant to wear shorts but long pants.


Put on a silver braclet on your child's foot so that you know where she is, especially the one with a silver bell. I bought mine at a goldsmith at carpenter street cost about RM50+. You can get one a lot more cheaper at a silver store at BDC Everise.

There were times when I kissed my daughter or she kissed me, saying 妈妈loves Emily! Or ask her Emily 有没有love mummy?She will answer Emily loves 妈妈。

Sometimes, my daughter experience nose bleed. She does fell down. Once she fell down from the sofa with a big bun on her forehead while jumping by herself. My husband too rub it with Zambuk.

Another time is I didn't know that her thumb was stuck on the door yet I still shut it, and she cried still I don't know that she cried because of pain for I thought she cried because I closed the bathroom door with me inside. Luckily I opened the door a few seconds later, and found that she hurt her fingers. I quickly rub it with Zambuk.

There are times that she fell down from the bed with a bang sound and cried thereafter, even at a few months old, when she keep on kicking and got herself out of the bed while my husband placed her on the bed alone and he do the laundry behind. I was too tired after getting back from work and was not aware and around. Also, she fell down from the bed also within this year while sleeping beside me when my husband went outstation. She fell down right on an adult size pillow and woke up looking at me.

The last time my daughter fall down from the bed was a few months ago, with nose bleed occur thereafter or as usual I am not sure, but she hurt her lips. I bring her to 1 Malaysia Samar Indah and her wound got better after applying cream. For nose bleed problems, a nose spray was prescribed by Dr. Chiew and it slowly heals her nose bleed.

This type of pampers is cheaper if compare to Momy Poko that my daughter use. It is thin.


Baby bag used to keep pampers, milk powder, drinking bottle, Fiffy milk bottle, pacifier, purse, keys, baby wipes, tissue, make up or lipstick and etc while go outing.

She is 3 now but still using pacifier but not all the time. Hope she stopped soon through sweets temptation like reward for not sucking pacifier for 1 day.

Do not keep baby's clothing in lower case of cupboard for she will disturb looking for dress for outing or cry to have it. Keep at other place like other room.

At first, baby's clothes are bought by me, of 3 sets day time and 3 sets night time for other baby's essential needs from milk bottles, nostrils to nail clip, anti-slippery mat, baby car seat for my baby to lie on at all time about 4 months later with pampers on all the time, despite of sleeping time and others based on list from the book. After baby being born, months later my mother starts to make and buy clothes for her, also toys, books, for which I learn from her how to buy things for my child which even my husband don't know for we are inexperienced. My mother too doesn't know how to take care of a baby or child, I learnt mine from baby sitter. She only knows what to buy. I fear of spending too much on baby's clothing uncontrollably.

Sharing of food, toys, books, clothing and items are very common for children with sibblings, although new purchased are made later.

Baby learn walking late I think after 1 year old, by holding her hands, walk around, then by 1 hand only then she is able to walk on own.

We forbidden canning, but do hit by slapping on thigh, hands or pinch her ears when she is extremely naughty.

My mother helps me in taking care of my child from preparing food to child education. My husband and my mother really aids me a lot in my difficult times.
