Toddlers and tantrum

Lately, we are worn out like this:-

Sumpah penat weh!

Cik Aiyu ni rupanya cepat jugak naik angin, lelagi sejak takde susu magika. Tak dapat barang mengamuk, tak dapat main bilik air, bising. Tak dapat bukak peti sejuk, pergh.. buat breakdance atas lantai dapur.

Yang mak nye pulak, depression. Badan rasa tak best. Rasa nak muntah pun kekadang ada. Sebelum ada yang speku, bukan itu ye. Rasa nak mengamuk tu memang kata berganda la. Rasa nak nangis, lagi la berganda ganda.

Cik Abe pun mula hilang sabar. Mat kool mat kool kawanku pun boleh naik angin, korang bayangkan lah macam mana keadaan kat rumah kami. Dari bawak bersabar, ada yang pitching tinggi. Belum lagi dengan tepuk tepuk manja. Kurung Cik Aiyu dalam bilik? Tu pun dah cuba, tapi tak jalan pasal member boleh bukak pintu sendiri, hahaha…

Anyway, setelah buku diselak, laptop di Google, rupanya depression is common for weaning mothers. Some will have the sick feeling, i.e. nausea, headaches, fatigue and such. Oh, so me! Reason? Hormonal change. Breastfeeding stimulates the production of hormones such as oxytocin, known colloquially as "the love hormone." Mothers' moods may plummet in its absence. So mommies out there, be prepared! I guess daddies too, since mereka mereka ini bakal menjadi mangsa, hahaha…

As for Cik Aiyu, apparently the best way to handle tantrum, is to ignore them. When they are going crazy for no reason, just i-g-n-o-r-e. Their tantrum is being elevated when they have audience, so the best way is just to ignore. Jangan jerit, marah atau pujuk. Easier said then done, but have to start somewhere lah kan.

So far lepas kami guna taktik ignore ni, elok sikit lah perangai dia. Still ada kejadian breakdance atas lantai, tapi dah kurang. Hopefully she’ll get better in time.

Untuk mommy nye, lega bila dapat tau, depression after weaning is ok lah!
