Confinement lady - Ah Hua

I was damn regret that I hired this confinement lady called Ah Hua with surname Liew which stay in Segambut.

I already don't be so particular in what she is cooking for me as long as she take care of baby properly and cook 'ok' food. But turns out seems like she dunno how to cook and rules for confinement food.

1. She is so lazy until she dun cut ginger, mushroom or fungus freshly everyday. She dig out those tupperwares i have in cupboard and then cut them in batch and use it for 2-3 days.

2. According to rule, fungus helps to clean everything inside the body in order for herbs to take place so normally fungus only apply in food for first few days but she continue to use this fungus in my every meal continously for more than a week. Until one day my aunt realised and ask me to stop her immediately before it harm my body further. But who knows she stop for few days then i saw fungus in my breakfast one day i was almost pengsan where i was already start taking herbs. The reason she gave was she thought i already not sien with fungus.

3. She is not very hygiene where she is having long hair which from my observation she only wash it every 3 days. On the day she is going to wash her hair, she will not clip or tie she hair up and she cont on cooking and taking care baby. I've found her hair on my food twice and a lot of she hair falls on my baby's stuff like in the diaper, on my baby's cloth, bed, blanket etc..... i've hinted her by pulling out her hair from my baby cloth in front of her but no reaction. I think I got to wash all my baby stuff again after she left.

4. I was curious that why everytime when she wake up and leave the room then my baby will wake up. Until I did spot check a few times and found that she put baby sleeping next to her so that she dun need to step over to baby cot to pick up baby when baby cry. Everytime i ask why she will give me funny reasons which I was damn angry but I have to still not to be harsh as baby sleeping with her. And when she put baby sleep with her on the master bed which baby is DIRECTLY UNDER aircond.

5. We sent baby to clinic for jaundice check up and doc found that her cord is being infected. When I told her when we get home she just tell me "is like that for every baby when cord almost drop off la".........

6. She dun clean baby's bottom part with water or wipe when she change diapers. Until one day I found that my baby's bottom is red and the inner part was screwed. When i help to clean her up, her was so painful. My tears just fall up uncontrollable. When i tell her nicely, she just give me the standard answer "is like that one la"

7. She only cook 3 meals for me everyday until my mum and in law ask why there is no supper. During first week she say because i got stitches at the womb so cannot take chicken. In second week she still not cooking supper until i hinted to her "I WANT SUPPER". She gave husband reason that the pot for cooking herbs dun have filter so cannot sook herbs supper. Husband went to supermarket near by to buy one with filter. Guess what? After that day I do get herbs supper and SHE NEVER USE THE FILTER AT ALL!!!!!

8. My husband bring her to wet market first week to buy stuff. In second week, before she go market i told her to get one week stock as husband needs to work cannot go wet market everyday. She answer ok to me and my husband. Before they leave market, husband saw that she holds very little stuff so double confirm with her again which she confirmed that she already got 1 week stock. But in the evening, she was telling me that she needs to go wet market two days later as she need to buy more stock. When i question her why she dun get 1 week stock as i already highlighted to her. Her reply was because i did not told her that husband is not free to bring her there in the following week and the money husband gave her b4 he go ATM is not enuf. I was damn angry and ask why she don't tell husband she need more money when husband come back from ATM and meet her in market? She just keep quite. I was damn angry and tell her that no one going to wet market in the following week so she need to find her way how to settle in the following week.

9. She loves TV. When I start to bring my baby to living room in the second week, she enjoyed TV a lot and sometimes she can be feeding baby while watching TV but she dun pay attention to baby's milk bottle, sometimes baby can be just sucking air and she is not realise but happily watching tv. I've catch that few times and reminded her.

I am really really DAMN FED UP with her and wanted to use FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF for her. I hope ppl who plan to hire confinement lady will see this post especially ppl with similar name so that you dont make the wrong decision for you and your baby.
