The Situation
My son was only two years old at that time. Both of us are busy in the Internet shop. My partner used a pot to boil water for his coffee. Since the Internet shop was bustling, he forgot about it because there were a lot of customers. I had no idea that he was boiling water. Suddenly, the Super Kalan or stove erupts. The water inside the kettle dried up.   My partner ran and put out the flame with a cloth instantly. We are all shocked.

Am Rice for Baby

Am pronunciation is like, "I am". Wondering what's am rice? It's the broth from cooking rice. It's an option if a family cannot buy milk powder or on a budget. A woman told me that it made her baby earn the exact weight. But what benefits will my baby get from? 
1. It treats diarrhea.
2. It helps bring down fever.
3. It fulfills and energizes your baby's needs.

I did not have a chance to breastfeed my baby, so, I gave him formula milk. I used a brand of milk but as the months passed by, he is getting thinner. He is 4 months old but weighs only 5.2 kilos. My ears are getting full by different comments. Good and bad about my baby's weight.

Today, I was surprised when a resident doctor told me that my baby was malnourished. Gosh, it breaks my heart upon hearing this. I thought malnourished babies are those who are thin, skinny with a big tummy. My baby wasn't like that. He's thin but moves and kicks actively.

I am considering to change the brand milk then mix it with Am rice as my baby's infant milk.  Just half of the Am rice on his feeding bottle.

Preparations for am rice:
1. Wash 1 cup rice in a pan or small casserole
2. After washing put 4 - 5 cups of water then let it boil.
3. When boiling, stir until rice broth becomes sticky.
4. Set aside the broth in a feeding bottle or bowl.
5. Let it cool.

I hope my baby will gain weight through this. I know he is ready for weaning because I've  seen the signs.

What Is White Noise and Where to Download It for Free

I was looking for baby's lullaby from the net when I come across the word "White Noise". Now, what is a White Noise? Why it is called, white noise? What's the connection of the white noise to a baby's lullaby? These are the questions that instantly popped into my head.

According to Mr. Wikipedia
is a random signal (or process) with a flat power spectral density. In other words, the signal contains equal power within a fixed bandwidth at any center frequency. White noise draws its name from white light in which the power spectral density of the light is distributed over the visible band in such a way that the eye's three color receptors (cones) are approximately equally stimulated.
