Umar’s 13 mos Jab..

Umar is 1 year old by January.. So it’s his due to 13 mos jab.. Both my hubs and I have no idea why baby needs this injection.. Haha.. Least we know about this jab is sebab da tertulis dalam rekod kesihatan dia and kene amek suntikan ni.. Kalau tak de tulis, tak payah amek la kan.. Senang.. Haha..

Actually during Umar’s birthday, mommy was having a fever.. May read the story [here]. Daddy pulak was so busy at that time so no time to bring him to the clinic..  (There was no celebration for adek at the moment.. Plan to have simple birthday party for him as to exhilarate the kids..)  So, we decided to bring Umar for his jab during weekend.. But when weekend came, Umar plak demam.. So cannot take any jabs during fever as advised by the doc during our previous visit..

Prior to that, I gave Umar ibuprofen syrup and placed the bye-bye fever onto his forehead.. Sekejap je baiknya.. After 6 hours, then badan panas semula.. So makan ubat lagi.. Still tak recover.. On Sunday, we brought him for a traditional massage in Banting.. Jauh kan? There is no other mak urut that I knew in Shah Alam or Subang area.. Have to jugak la kan, dah anak kesayangan sakit..

I have an experience before when both my kids were sick for more than 1 week and they still not fully recovered even when they’re given paracetamol and other medicine.. Worst thing is Iman has fits history.. We need to give intensive care to her as to avoid it from happen.. (Will share the story about this in another entry.. It’s a looooong story to tell..) Taken advise from my mother to bring them for traditional massage and after the treatment Alhamdulillah.. they even can run and play together on the same day..

 

After a long delay, we finally went to daddy’s panel to get Umar’s jab.. His weight was taken before we went to see the doctor.. Umar was 9.5 kg at the age of 1 year 8 days.. Ringannya I said.. I think Iman’s much more heavier than Umar at this age..

To cut the story short, adek Umar da selamat kene cucuk.. Menangis before the injection was given maybe sebab muka doc tu garang.. He tried to play with Umar before giving the jab.. Unfortunately adek Umar tak senyum pun.. Umar menangis sebelum kene cucuk.. After a while, he's OK lepas mommy pujuk.. Tengok la.. Siap boleh main-main lagi dengan kakak after kene injection.. Tak sakit Umar kan..

For info, at around 13 mos, baby will be given the MMR, the immunization that protects against measles (a serious illness with a rash and fevers), mumps illness which causes swelling around the jaws and rubella (known as German measles) illness that brings a rash and sore throat.

According to doc, soon after the immunization, baby may develop a fever, go off his food or develop a rash on his body. If this happen, then he suggested to give paracetamol liquid or liquid ibuprofen to reduce the baby’s temperature and to soothe any pain. Alhamdulillah, Umar tak demam.. Antibodi dia kuat seperti orangnya.. He is such an active and strong boy.. 

 And of course he is mommy’s little hero..
