We had a bash, inviting most relatives from both sides for DD's 1st so intend to have a quiet one for the next 3-4 years. Actually we have a "house rule", the kiddos can only have elaborate birthday bash every few years, this is to make them understand that such "luxuries" shouldn't be taken for granted.
I am wondering how to have a small celebration this time round. Probably not a stay cation since we are going for a short holiday in early Dec. Otherwise, it sounds like a lovely idea.

GG, yes when we go out, we usually give her plain rice with fish soup. Just plain white rice with fish & tofu, or plain white rice with duck meat, chicken meat, or pork from the chinese double boil soup. But she always end up wanting the soup, she is a soup person, so i will give her a little, outside soup afterall got msg. Once my hubby sick of sharing rice with her, and he order yee mee... and she loves it wah lau, she love salty stuff lah. But i try not to give.
U know eg. tpy food court, the Lao Huo Tang, the soup has no msg, but they do use cuttlefish to favor the soup, so if ur child has not try all this scallops/ cuttlefish brew soup before, test a little only and in afternoon, dun give dinner time, in case stomach not well or itch and dun need to sleep liao.
So in HK, i will order rice with say pork chop, sunny side up, and share with her. Or double boil soup with rice. Shes happy with rice. Actually travel hor, got to relax a bit, as long as not too oily or salty.

Ivy, I see. I only bring staycation before, brought porridge along and bread. Hubby dun wan bring overseas yet leh, scared their ear v pain during take off and landing. Wah she takes braised duck too? I love it but dun think my hubby will let him eat. So far ever let him eat those mix rice outside, will get steam egg and fish, sometimes sliced soya pork. He loves more than my food, think tastier since got seasoning. At home I only give him those meat cooked in soup, no salt one. Sometimes I see some parents let their young tod eat everything le, French fries, fried chicken etc. So at times wonder if I too strict already.
GG, I used to be like u. I nv give fried item before 1yo. V seldom outside food. I even give black face to whoever gave him junk food. Nv eat sweet before 1yo. That's makes ppl ard me v stress. Kenna scolded n I relax a bit. Now I give mcd, nuggets, fries, ice cream.. I gave everything. Lucky for me, he still prefer home cook food. Not keen on outside food. So I'll standby milk. He dun eat as much outside.
Sometimes I'll bake as snacks for him..

I think my son got a bad eating habit. He hasnt been eating rice or porridge or vege or meat for a month now, since he got better from diarrhea. And he doesnt want to drink milk. So now his 3 meals per day are gone. What he does now, is just snacking - we gave him anything he wants to eat (mainly cheese).
Then the PD told us he got hypersensitive taste bud. That's why he rejecting or get bored with food very fast. So he told us to offer the same food for 6hrs if he doesnt want to eat that food in the 1st hr. To de-sensitive him.
Have you ever heard of such thing!??? So am trying now lor...got 2 weeks of testing. If not successful after that, PD will refer us to professional help. SOB!

I think why parents offer all sorts of food like fried, or ice-cream to their children is because their children refuse to eat proper food, like mine
So sometimes I had to give him chocolate cake, crackers etc

Tks. I still dun let him eat fried food as I worry he develop taste for junk food. So far I let him eat cake and Mac hotcakes etc but I hope to let him eat homecook as far as possible. Once my mil tried to give him potato chips! My hubby v fast took away from my boy. But recently my boy tasted sausage at ikea, meant to let him eat the bun only but he accidentally bite some sausage and then like find it v tasty keep munching the sausage part till I snatch from him. But I got let him eat things like muffin la, also not v healthy but he loves it so I give in once a while.
Cheng, sounds stressful. So wat u feed him now?

Cheng my pd ever say during my girl milk strike. A child when hungry will eat whatever is offered. He will reject when he knows he had a choice.
GG yes dun start on fries if possible. My sis lor start it n if she sees fries she will want. So I try not to order fries, she dun see, she won't ask for it. Very bad addictive junk food - fries haha.

Ivy, my hubby also scold me when I try to coax my boy to set more. To my hubby, he feels must let them know wat it is like to b hungry so if he refuse food, take away from him so he know dun eat then no more food. But as mummies we find it hard to do leh, I will still try to coax him then kena scold by hubby. Recently we saw some documentary those overseas orphan no clothes to wear no food to eat and in spore we like have to beg or coax our kids to wear nice clothes and eat nice food makes me think ya really must inculcate right values in our kids. They dunno how fortunate they are. After seeing those shows I was telling hubby hopefully we can retire earlier and spend time doing more meaningful work like volunteer etc to help the needy esp children.

GG, same. Agree. Thats what i hope to do when im older and children grown up. I can contribute back in volunteering work. My interest is cooking, so was thinking cooking for orphanage or old folks home. ITs something in my mind since younger time. Hope we dun have to slaves till 60 70 yrs old.
I feel so bad. My DD eats sweets all the time and if I refused to give her, she'd scream the house down. Sigh. Having a girl is really very different. Last time my son did not care about food and cared only about play but this daughter of mine, says "EAT!" all the time. And aside from fruits, she likes junk (like me). Looks like I need to cut out my junk food eating and clear out all unhealthy food at home so she won't eat too. ALL my fault.
Fitti, haha ya they follow us. My boy see us eat ice cream all the time so he also wans. I never give him any sweets or choc so far. Even yakult my hubby complain say cannot give as it's v sweet. Yogurt he eats every alternate day or so. He loves biscuits and cakes (no cream) though.
Faint I just start looking for childcare, most got super long wait list already.

GG Lee: DD is very particular about food and even junk. I think I was too worried (unnecessarily) about her not eating enough so when she wants to eat something, I let her have it. Yakult.....she drinks 2 bottles a day. Aiyo!
Which CC are you looking at? When I started looking in April, the more popular ones were all filled and with long wait lists.

Give yakult.. Better give ace lite. If not normal ones v sweet.. I'll give fries but wo salt. I brought him to Mac n he eats max 1 nugget n few fries. He dun like soft drinks too. Think he hates the gassy feel. Sometimes bring him out also stress cuz he eats less then half of his normal portion. N kids meal are always spaghetti or nuggets or fish n chips..
Cheng, I didn't offer junk food due to him not taking proper meals. I just wan him to try try.
Do voluntary is good. I feel so sad about those kids in documentary. Honestly, even orphans in sg are generally well taken care of. If I got the time I'll wish to help out. Probably in few years. And I make sure my kids also help them. My hb used to help bring those old folks from old folks home out to lunch in restaurant or cc.

Jeanie, ya lor, most kids meal not v healthy type I find. A lot of fried things. I try to give things like boiled or mash potato and boiled meat if possible like those poached salmon at ikea. My boy dun really like those spaghetti with a lot of tomato sauce. At home I cook more of oglio style for him.
ivy : i just came back froum HK with my girl and she fell sick after eating the food there.. brought her to PD, and deduced that the oil they use there could be too heaty for her.. moreover, HK food are really oily, but din esxpect that it will have an adverse effect on her....
so do take some precautions when choosing the food in HK. =)

Hey Ivy, my boy had milk strike when he was 4 months old. Thought feeding would get better as the child gets older. But unfortunately, it's the opposite for me. Yah quite stressful especially he doesnt want to eat.
He doesnt have any favourite food except cheese. I offered him junk food eg fries, fish crackers, cakes, ice-cream - you named it!! Every food I can find in the house and he rejected them all!!!
Nowadays, I just leave it - he wants to eat, eat. Doesnt want to eat, go hungry then. Mind you, he can go without food for 5-6hrs and still active!
So Ivy, I guess I have to offer the same food to him for 6hrs or so....hope I can endure seeing him hungry

Cheng, can imagine how stressful it must b. When they dun eat we naturally will offer them watever as long they eat something. My frens say it can be worse as they grow bigger. My boy now less chubby and i am tempted sometimes to fatten him by offering him treats. But end up still try to control as it cld do long term damage.

Wah, am glad to know am not the only one. Thought my boy is the most fussy eater. But guess there are others out there
Ivy, is your girl skinny then?
Yes have to remind ourselves - importantly they are healthy, nvm being skinny
Mummy - Feeding milk is tough. I have to wait till he is very drowsy and give it to him - force feed. Sometimes he pushed away but I remained firm with my hand. Sometimes this takes 20mins to 1hr, cos he sucks finger (unfortunately), and I have to be careful to pull his finger away as not to wake him up. Mind you, I have waited sometimes until 1 hour and still was not successful in giving him the milk -I really cried man!!!!
Mothers - I dont know how they do it!!!! Feeding us when we were babies hahahaha!!!

GG Lee-Shichida does not offer any trial class. As mention earlier he behaves changes in 2nd term . I will give him 1 or 2 more term to go if he still do not participate much or rather run behind the class(try to open the door) most likely i will withdraw him from Shichida.
In fact i thinking enrol him to those more on language (GUG/Zoophonic/or any playgroup )he will learn more things..... as he still do not talk alot.

Talking about food intake, DD is quite uncooperative
I am still giving her porridge (& would be so happy if she managed to eat 3/4) as she spits out any bits and pieces (meat, fish, veg etc). When we are outside, she only wants to eat soup noodles (especially Japanese ramen) but without all the other ingredients.
She drinks a lot of milk but at nearing 2, she really should be taking in more solid food.

my boy is erratic in his eating. Sometimes a lot (finished his portion but still want more, and end up eating abt 10-20% more than usual). sometimes he eats very poorly (he will do it by eating slowly). He prefers rice to porridge. will spit leafy veg that is not cut small enough n cooked with tomatoes. exhibits strong preferences (e.g. codfish but not salmon, brocolli but not caixin)
as for milk intake, i am blissfully unaware. cuz i am still breastfeeding 3x a day
