new baby

Alhamdulillah.. last Thursday kak fiza my neighbour just delivered her 1st baby, aka the 1st grandchild of Cik Pah & Pakcik Kamal.. congrats!! the baby girl was delivered in KL, n was brought back to TG on Monday evening. that night, my mom, najwa n me visited kak Fiza n the baby la. she is soo cute and adorable (i bet all babies r like that hehe).. just got a bit of jaundice (kuning) but i think it is just normal 'physiological jaundice', nothing to worry about.

well, the talking is mainly on the event before, during n after the delivery la. the duration of kak fiza's stay in the labour room was just about 10mins only. believe me, that was very2 fast for a 1st timer. one of the questions is did she take 'air selusuh' b4 the delivery? yup, but not right b4 it la, when the pregnancy was in the 7th month kot. hmm.. ok.. since the baby is jaundiced, i asked wether she took any traditional herbs? not yet, she said. and Cik pah already bought 'air mutiara' to reduce the jaundice. err.. never heard about it.. (cant find in the internet either). then, cik pah cite, since it has been a long time since she last pegang baby, she was quite cautious when bathing the baby. she is scared that the baby's cord will fall out masa mandi, sbb org tua2 x bagi tali pusat luruh masa mandi. i asked why? cik pah asked me to ask her mother.. hihi.. x berani la..thus, i dunno why la..

so, kesimpulan here is cik pah said, sometimes we still kena percaya perubatan traditional nih. even if u r a doctor pon. cik pah tau, Frh x percaye kan?
(ye, sy mengangguk.. eg: sbb Dr kat labour room x bagi minum air selusuh. somehow it works to contract the uterus. vigorously, that it can cause uterine rupture. takut x bunyinye? tapi org dulu2 mmg beranak minum air selusuh je. xde inject oxytocin/pitocin ni pon kan.. hehe)

hm.. entahla.. bukan xnak caye tp sebab kite blaja modern medicine kan.. tp as long as it does not cause more harm than benefit, just let it go la.. ye x? :)

talking about traditional meds, my father just bought a plant called 'belimbing tanah' or its scientific name is tacca integrifolia. it does not look like any starfruit pon ok.. i dunno why it is called like that. it is very unique. macam ada janggut. here r the pics:

note the long janggut

according to org tua2, it can b used to treat hypertension, hemorrhoids, diabetes, heart disease and renal disease.. any comment? hehe..
