Baby Plus - Myth or Fact??

 

I learnt about BabyPlus from Hubby's cousin, Amir & wife, Anim when I was pregnant of Afeef at my 3rd trimester. Back then, I didn't even know where to find the thing in Malaysia, ingatkan kene ebay. Fikir2, by the time it reaches me, Afeef dh keluar dh pn. Later did I know yg Cosway ade jual BabyPlus. It was quite expensive, RM650 a unit, sangatla pricey for a super simple drumbeat sound device.

And me & hubby strongly think nak anak pandai amalkan aje surah Luqman hari2 and makan makanan berkhasiat mcm ikan, kurma and almond. InsyaAllah, pandai dan bersifat Mahmudah la anak kita. And Alhamdulillah, setakat ni, Afeef's behaviour and milestone mcm same je dgn testimonials from BabyPlus user: xbyk merengek, tido tenang xmeragam n xkisah pn bunyi bising,  terus pandai latch on when 1st time nursing, development cepat dr normal milestone (except for walking la huhu), and sgt cepat ckp..walaupun xpakai BabyPlus.

Tapi bile tgk Areez, Amir & Anim's only child yang sgt bijak berbanding cousins and aunty yg same age as him rase mcm teruja pulak nk beli (Hubby is, not me..I'm still sticking to our initial belief, Surah Luqman is the key recipe that is, although adela terpengaruh skit sbb sgt impress dgn Areez yg bijak). Hubby said, Amir die amalkan jugak Surah Luqman hari2 besides the BabyPlus. So after much contemplation and discussion between us, we thought well Surah Luqman is definitely the key recipe to Anak soleh yang bijak. But BabyPlus is just a supporting tool proven by scientific research. So why not trying, since Cosway pn is having an offer, for 3 coupons collected, we can get RM490 per unit. Akhirnya beli la jugak..

Al-kisah lepas beli terjumpe pulak this website yg sangat anti BabyPlus and the arguments given were so strong and evident that I was quite frustrated with myself for falling for BabyPlus marketing trick. But benda dh beli, and I didn't want to frustrate hubby even more, since he was the one who invested in it, so I continued using it, hari ni dh nk masuk lesson 2 i.e. a little bit faster drumbeat than the 1st lesson. Adik Ahza is responding well to it, everytime I was using it, adik Ahza will also kick vigorously as though following the drumbeat, hehe...

Logic wise, the marketing is quite convincing as it says, the baby will try to differentiate between the mother's heartbeat and the drumbeat from the BabyPlus. So in a way, we are training the baby's analytical part of the brain from the womb. Xpela, yang penting cuba je, berkesan atau tidak, semua nya ketentuan Allah swt dengan usaha yang berlipatganda dan doa kita yang xputus2..semoga anak2 mama semua bijak dan soleh insyaAllah..

aku tak dapat nak baca artikel panjang, sebab akan mengalami misalignment dengan mata aku...tapi aku nak jumpa ketua murid...adakah beliau masih panjang dan gagah?

hahahaha! saye mempunyai masalah suke membebel panjang yg sgt kronik..maka perangai saye itu telah berjangkit dgn si ketua murid yang telah naik pangkat menjadi ketua pengawas yg garang dan suke membebel dan sukar untuk dibuli oleh kanak2 yg lebih besar kerana die pandai melawan balik sambil menjerit garang huhuhu!

Besides surah Luqman, amalkan juga surah Muhammad. Tak panjang, 4 pages Al-Qur'an aje. Insya Allah anak-anak kita tak banyak ragam sejak hari pertama dia lahir lagi. Kelima-lima anak saya begitu, Alhamdulillah, even sampai sekarang.
