Since you’ve seen Tee enjoying a foot massage, you might as well know the real reason why she was there in the first place.

Colic.

Yes, colic. The menace that keeps your baby screaming continuously like a wailing banshee throughout the wee hours of the morning, or the late hours of night, when all you really want to do honestly, is hit the sack.

Not rock the baby. Not coo and sing to the baby. Not even put the baby into a big dustbin and close the lid.

Tee had colic. Every night between 8pm to midnight, she’d start crying. Non-stop. She wasn’t hungry. We tried almost everything and actually discovered something that worked – skiiing.

What? Skiing in sunny Kuala Lumpur where the only snow we have is in theme parks and the idiot box? Yes. I’ll tell you how.

Hold your baby upright with both hands, one on bum, one on back. Place your knees together and start bending them together left, up, then right, up, then left again, up again, alternating……for an hour. In the meantime, make this sound gently with your lips, “Shoo-shoo-shoo-shoo” while you do the imaginary ski on your bedroom floor.

It was the only kind of rocking that worked for Tee until someone recommended this sifu master in PJ for healing Tee’s colic.

He was bloody expensive but it worked. After that 1st session, her crying stopped. Of course, he recommended that she have a few more sessions as the dreaded Mr C would come back otherwise. So we took Tee for her weekly foot massages till our pockets grew holes. The guy would spend 15 minutes massaging Tee’s feet with some non-oily ointment and voila! Magic. Complete silence at night.

*Please do not massage your own baby’s feet as you do not know your own strength. Babies bones are very soft and still developing*

Later, we rubbed this famous oil that we got from the pharmacist called YUYI oil. There are 2 brands of YUYI oil in the pharmacist. The better one is called Wong something or other. Put a few drops in your hands and rub them together till your hands are really hot. Then pat your hands on your baby’s stomach and quickly cover the stomach when done. Do it a few times.

Don’t put TOO much oil as the oil has a slight burning sensation but it soothes the baby’s stomach pain. Once the stomach is done, again rub your hands together to generate heat, then hold your baby’s feet to transfer the warm oil onto those tiny feet. Works like a charm…….

Good luck!

She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged.
