How do you know it's their first shot gun? Takkan you expect them to say "aiyah, we pancut dalam so many times takde hal...manatau this time kena"?.

wtf confinement only 6888? your in law or parents take care of it ar

It tastes like almond milk, but the flavor is quite different when it’s hot temp vs normal temp vs direct. Hot one definitely better.

I can see it can be pain, some mother like it, breast milk the best.

Lately, he is learning a bit of tantrums already. He’s very active baby.

Yes mostly, the eyes and nose like mother, very beautiful. Grow hair very quickly like me. Opposite of me; he is very active baby, friendly, smile to everyone he sees, never scared, smart as well. I bring wife and him outside every weekend, almost every public people like him.

Not easy, will never be easy, it is manageable.

If I recalled correctly, you did once said that you have insecurities to start family or something of that sort. You worry about your ability to provide for them and their future. Assuming my recollection is correct, how do you feel now after the wonderful child comes out? How does that change your perception or insecurities/worries?

At least 2 times a month, 3 times if got special days in that month

Yes, my wife and I plan to start trying for baby this month and so on. Have at least two children. I believe it’s better to take on this challenging life earlier rather than later. It also makes future things like school schedules, dates, time and overall planning easier to manage.
Tried many brands, ended up with Aptamil Step 1 & 2, after 1 year, trying Anmum Step 3.

At times you might question why you decided to have a child but trust me once he gets to around 2 yrs 5 months it will be the most meaningful experiences in your life.

Everyday I wake up and when I see him I have this thought that Life is Truly Meaningful and Beautiful.

Children are entertainment . Like television. Got comedy , love story , sometime the plot make you angry, some time got horror and suspense , drama.. a lot of drama (mine was 2 girl😅) action scene .. and dont forget the plot twist 😆

since ada anak, wife got give BJ?

How about the cost of preparation, delivery, and post delivery like maternal care?

congrats ts happy for u

Pandai. Make 2 at least and keep the gap close. Very good

Just like you said, these days, many parents use smartphones to play videos and calm their kids down. I’ve done that too, but only for a 1 minute or less. My baby quickly gets bored and just tosses the phone aside.
A better approach, in my experience is to keep rotating toys. As soon as he gets bored(very fast in fact under 1 minute), I give him something new. I also bought those magnetic blocks and style cubes for the future. Those likely can actually keep him entertained for hours.



I used to be a happy-go-lucky single guy. I spent over RM30k+ on my photography hobby without a second thought, so much freedom, so much joy in being able to buy whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted.
But one day, it hit me, those things only brought short-term happiness. I started to crave something deeper wanted to have a family of my own.
2 years ago, walking down the wedding aisle with my wife, I almost broke down in tears in front of attendees. A year ago, when my baby boy was born, I cried inside and outside. Just a few days ago, we celebrated his first birthday with so many siblings and relatives around, I nearly shed tears again this time in front of everyone.
Despite the world with AI/automation and rising inflation, these small personal family moments above may seem insignificant. But for me, they are everything, that’s what real happiness and pure joy look like.
Nothing compares to the smile of my child, the way they look into my eyes, etc.

u spend the given angpow? i save it for my child future, that's why i never mention about using angpows. if your wife can breast feed/ pump breast milk... eventually you save at least 60% to 90% of milk powder and bottle cost for the 1st year depends how rajin is your wife.

at times your milk too thick/ heaty cause difficult to pass stool as recommended mixture ratio is 1:1, i mix 0.8:1 milk powder to water ratio. bulk purchase really save alot but at the same time planning is important when your child go thru a transition. else you end up lots of extra milk powder and diapers.

confinement RM6888 you hire a confinement lady? then you miss out the cost of food, cost spend on confinement lady's needs, 1 month's herbs soup ingredients and misc.... last time my wife confinement RM9k++ in confinement center... ALL IN!

They say sex during relationship is better than in marriage, and after marriage/got baby, dead fish. For me, it is the opposite, marriage sex is better/superior.

30 May, I post here few days after

1 year & a few months can already be considered okay or even fast, especially desire is strong and almost perfectly timed ovulation dates. Most people only succeed after trying for around two years but we often don’t know the full story behind their journey. Some may take 1 year or more just to get more financially stable. Honestly, I doubt the husband could resist/tahan to shoot inside after marriage.

Hell yeah, my baby boy is super active, can’t force him to sleep, cry for sleep or very tired. He can only sleep in his baby spring cot and bed. Lately, he starts fussing a bit whenever the car stops at a traffic light.


So far, my mental health and sleep quality have been good, although experienced a bit of anxiety as parent. Fortunately, my wife is very supportive and allow me to spend time playing games with friends and my photography hobby, which has been great way to reduce that anxiety.

1) Even got supporting, when eat, see phone, clean plate, household stuff, he come to see for a while, under 1 minute go to other things.
2 & 3) I don’t buy any expensive stuff, most expensive is the stroller, about RM200, and he on that stroller for 1-2 month only, then cannot because he gets heaty fast with his long fast growing hair.
Brands like Pureen, Anakku, etc.
Clothing/toys few bucks RM20-50, mostly given by my siblings.
All natural foods, banana, avocado, rice porridge, fish, chicken meat, veges, etc.

Wait till they reach terrible 2 and horrible 3. I puke blood when my son start throwing remote at my TV, throw my phone on floor because not able to get what he wanted

Small issue la. I had to have my macbook screen replaced not once but twice. End up basically like getting a new macbook. And he was 6 btw

Employed M40, definitely not enough use.
Last year my pc psu shortage, pc total damage, luckily got 2 cores wife laptop with upgraded 8>12gb ram, very slow but still can play dota 2 at very low setting with possible disabled all things, run lightroom/photoshop/photo editing like snail.
I think almost a year, no budget to build new desktop pc.






RM6888 Confinement in year 2023, Penang Island.
After many surveying, this is the best and great hospitality, cleanliness, security, caring, good & healthy foods for mother, etc, and cheap.


Preparation:
- Chinese herbal soup, free by my grandmother & mother.
Delivery:
- RM30-50 if not mistaken, at Penang General Hospital (government)

Post Delivery:
- RM6888 maternal care (in year 2023),
- Government clinic, mother & baby checkup and vaccines, free (first time blue/pink record book about RM10 if not mistaken)
- My baby had jaundice for 1 short week, free block check at government clinic

During her confinement period, my wife told me heard few mothers say loudly, went to private hospital, C-section costs RM20k+, normal delivery RM10k+, Private pediatrician 1 visit RM60-100+, excluding any needle/vaccines.
I know private care is far superior, but going to government hospital is definitely more cost-effective and easier on the wallet.
