Mas Duda Looking For Mom Milk
Getting to know Milk Formula
Because no longer hires Mina, with a heavy heart Tama also provides Formula Milk for her little baby. Although many children are healthy and grow well by drinking formula milk since infancy, it's just that Tama feels sad. He thought first, Cellia can continue to provide exclusive ASI for Citra considering the many benefits of giving exclusive ASI such as a stronger baby's immune system, making children smart, child's weight becomes ideal, and, reduce the risk of allergies in children, and in addition strengthen the relationship between mother and child (bounting).
Unfortunately, all of that could not be Citra get because the baby had become an orphan a few hours after his birth.
When the ASIP (Mother Dairy Milk) owned by Mina Maid stored in the pockets of ASIP was exhausted, Tama also entrusted Citra to Mama.
"Ma, nitip Citra first yes, Ma ... Tama want to go to the mini market, buy Formula Milk for Citra," he said by leaving the 2-week-old baby to his mother.
“Sini .. Citra follow Grandma well,” reply Mama Rina.
“Tam, buy that Orange Milk Formulas Cardboard packaging. She said Mothers in Posyandu, many babies fit into the packaged formula. Look for babies aged 0 - 6 months,” explained Mama Rina to Tama.
“Iya Ma ... later Tama find the milk formula packaging it,” answer.
“Oh, yes Tam. Babies need a lot of diapers. Per two hours change, so that there is no rash,” explained Mama Rina again.
Tama nodded his head, “Iya Ma .. later all bought Tama, same Oil telonnya Citra exhausted earlier,” reply.
Being a single parent is like this. Men who incidentally difficult to shop, now have to shop and memorize the needs of the baby anything that runs out and immediately buy it. Because the distance of his house with a mini market is so close, Tama chose to walk at night that day.
Upon arrival in the mini market, start Tama looking for formula milk with orange cardboard packaging as pronounced by Mama. The young papa even carried a shopping cart in his hand to buy Citra's depleted baby items.
“Shop Yes Mas?” greet a neighbor Tama. Middle-aged mothers who are also shopping.
“Iya Bu .. buy milk for Citra,” replied Tama by nodding her head.
“Drinking cow milk huh Mas? Pity ya Citra,” said Mother earlier that.
Actually, if you can choose Tama prefers Citra to get ASI even though it is not from her biological mother. However, finding a Mother Milk is also not easy. Some mothers milk if asked at once to be foster mothers also the results are not as good as Mother herself. For example, Mbak Mina who is behind the Tama family apparently cursed Citra with bad speech.
“It's okay Mas Tama .. want mother's milk or cow's milk, which is important the baby is healthy. Yes already, I first yes Mas Duda .. uh, sorry .. Mas Tama, that is,” said the mother immediately passed from before Tama.
Yes, the image of Mas Duda has begun to stick to Tama. She is 28 years old, but is already a One-Baby Widower. Therefore, some neighbors also often call him Mas Duda. However, Tama did not want to bother. In fact, he is alone now. Being a widower because of a bitter destiny line.
Back shopping, Tama finally get formula milk for babies aged 0-6 months with orange color cardboard. Because this was the first day Citra drank formula milk, Tama decided to buy a small package first. See if Citra will match the formula she bought now. Because, choosing formula milk also has considerations. Some babies also do not match certain brand formula milk.
Then after shopping, Tama immediately paid for everything and returned home on foot. It feels like it was back when Cellia was still around. This moment of household shopping becomes a fun activity at the beginning of the month after payday. But now Tama has to buy everything herself.
“Look at Cellia ... Even now I'm buying everything myself. Milk for Imagra, diapers, telon oil, and various baby supplies. Didn't think I'd do it. I thought, first we'll have an exciting monthly shopping activity. However, it's all over, Cell ... is more sad because in Mama's housing complex, the neighbors often refer to me as Mas Duda,” Tama muttered inwardly.
Once at home, Tama washed Citra's dodot, and sterilized it by boiling the dodot in a pot so that there are no germs or bacteria attached to the dodot owned by Citra. Then Tama carefully read the milk making instructions available in the packaging cardboard. Dodot that has been sterilized was so cold directly Tama give a little hot water and cold water with a warm temperature, then give a spoon of milk dose of formula in the form of powder, and shake the bottle.
In making formula milk, water should be given first in a dodot bottle then the milk is poured, so that the folic acid content in the milk does not break. Folic acid can break when milk powder is put first and poured with hot water directly.
“This .. Baby Citra drink first well,” said Tama gave the small 60ml milk dodot to Mama Rina.
In fact, it was sad to see Citra who for the first time drank formula milk. However, Tama had no choice anymore. Asking for ASIP belonging to his relative, Mbak Kanaya is also constantly impossible. While to find Mother Milk is also not easy.
“Hungry and thirsty may be Citra,” says Mama Rina.
“Iya Ma, that's until that sound sucks his nip-ple dodot,” reply Tama.
Tama then gives a swab at the head of Citra, “Same introduction Milk formula first yes dear .. hopefully you are okay well. Your digestion is safe, healthy, his daughter Papa. Papa will find Mother Milk again to make another image well,” muttered Tama with a tight chest to her daughter.
