Easter Break n Sensory

Long weekend! Good Friday and isnin plak cuti for Easter Sunday.. Weheee!!

Mama x kemana2 pun this weekend. Just rehat2 and kemas rumah n settled few things jer.. From next week mama akan start busy at work, have bunch of reports due end of this month and also end of May.

Memang betul2 malas rehat pun! Spent the whole Friday doing nothing (except layan2 Z la of course and some reading). Saturday baru keluar shopping n do groceries. Ahad plak managed to make few bookings for our next holiday. Today make this few tubs of sensory materials for Z.

Tubs

Mama agak risau dgn manual ability Z sebenarnya. At this age, he still cannot hold his own bottles yet. Apatah lagi nk suruh dia suap makanan sendiri. Dh banyak kali mama suarakan kerisauan mama pada his physio n paed. Diorang kata nothing to worry yet.. Maybe he just dont want to do it rather than incapable of doing it. Lgpun dia kan ada his own helper, thats why dia malas - kata his paediatrician.

Mama tanya jugak bila nk start occupational therapy. Diorang kata x perlu, unless sampai umur 2 thn nanti still x de improvement, barulah dia akan buat referral letter. Duh!

Hmm, ok lah, maybe dia malas. Tapi takkan lah nak biarkan dia terus malas kan? Dia boleh jer grabbing things, mcm time main or membaca or anything he has interest in. Cuma he does not tend to hold them longer! Dia pegang kejap, then dia buang ketepi. Lepastu dia ambik balik, then buang lagi!

Sebabkan itu, mama rasa it could affect him in standing up or cruising jugak. Contohnya now dia mmg dh boleh pull himself up by using my hands or furniture. Tapi masalahnya, as soon as he is standing up, dia akan terus lepas tangan.

Sepatutnya dia kena lah holding to the furniture first (and start cruising). Ni asik bangun, then jatuh. Kalau ada org sebelah ok lah. Mama risau kalau x de org jer. So far dia cuma gunakan sofa jer utk bangun. Ok lah lembut jer. Tapi dah beberapa kali mama tgk Z cuba berdiri by pulling the tv stand or the bookcase!! Aiyoo, kalau terhantuk camna tuh?

Anyhoo, his physio suggest to try different type of materials for sensory. Sbb Z ada hypotonia (low muscles tone) maybe jugak sbb tu tangan dia x rasa sgt anything that he touch. So kena stimulate more.. Mama nak kena carik lagi banyak materials for him. Nanti nak jahit few small bean bags la pulak. Pastu dh x de idea lg dah.. Try search online pun x berhasil sangat.. Anybody has any idea???

  1. dear..awfeeya pun macam tu dulu..pegang barang kejap then campak..pegang pastu goncang-goncang then campak..alhamdulillah, skarang da kurang sket..dia pun da pandai pegang botol, tapi lepas minum susu n tak nak, die campak je botol tu..haaiihhh..

    u try brushing technique by Wilbarger (suggested by awfeeya's OT). kat youtube ada video tunjuk how to brush..brush tu boleh dapat kat Amazon.com nama dia sensory brush. try yea..jangan risau-risau mama Z.. =)

  2. Zach Momma - my anak bujang, zaheen - pegang botol pun lambat jugak. dulu jenuh kami ajar pegang sendiri. tapi tak mau. tapi my mil selalu ajar dia pegang, lama2 dia mau. tapi ambik masa jugak la...i rasa masa umur dia setahun lebih baru dia nak pegang botol sendiri bila menyusu.

    Zach Momma - err i nak tanya...zach ada problem yang serupa macam zaheen ke? Bila you citer yang Zach kena pakai kasut...i teringat those days yang zaheen kena pakai splint sbb tapak kaki tak rata dan melengkung..syukur sekarang dah tak perlu. cuma rajin follow therapy session ye...and lots of usaha dan sabar...

    1. zaheen pun lambat ek boleh pegang botol? i risau jugak lah sebab dia takmo pegang botol nih.. risau takut dia ada masalah lain jer.. dok suruh jugak babysitter tu ajarkan pegang tiap kali kasi susu.. tapi kadang2 jer la dia buat.. :(

      physio Z kata dia takde la specific problem with his legs. cuma sebab low muscles tone tu jer lah yg menyebabkan global physical delay. kaki dia mmg tak kuat sangat kalau berdiri tu.. goyang2 jer. at least bila pakai kasut tu mcm berat and grip kuat sikit ler kot..
