fates,
pd said no citrus fruits.
Chix is said by old ppl cos it will ignite the phlegm. But if you rem, ang mos always say hot chix soup is good when you have a cold!
But think better avoid if J is phlegmy cos its true to some extent. And that includes eggs!
And of cos ALL cold drinks, not only ice cream!
Well, as to wat to eat arh? That i also dunno...usually if they have poor appetite then just milk and plenty of rest? Thats wat i do for my lil one lo.

Thanks Ivy! How to avoid eating chicken when drumstick is his fav! 
That's the prob lo...i read those AM website and it said to avoid dairy products and eat more fruits leh....so contradictory hor...cos i think it's very imp for them to drink milk if their solid intake is bad..
You know of any chinese websites that'll rec such foods?
Do you think I can give him bird nest or lingyang to strengthen him up?
Really hate it because J never fall sick prior to his PG.

fates - for me when zav is cough/phelgmy
-no cold drinks, sweets, ice cream, chocs, tidbits, biscuits (usu also hardly hv actually)
-dilute milk (as milk cos phelgm)
-CC auto will remove chix for him. for myself, hardly feed chix.. usu fish/lean meat. (actually my TCM doc says no fish too! faintz)
-fruits - actually i still give apples, bananas, papayas. just no orange, grapes, watermelons etc. (liang fruits)
-veg mostly any kind
-naturally no oily, fried food also
For cough, i usu trust TCM more. but i still do abit of mixture of western/TCM (feed 2hrs apart)
Daytime = TCM Medi
Before sleep = PD medi (my PD gives fumicil to "dissolve" phelgm,can be bought from watsons)
Recently - I started giving manuka honey UMF15+. it seems to really helps! I am a believer in this now. hahaha

fates,
lengyang is not meant to strengthen him hor..Its a cooling herb, taken for heaty illness (phlegmy cough are usually not due to heatiness).
MT,
You reminded me of the manuka honey! Yes yes, its useful...i totally forgot abt giving it to son these days...must start again tonite cos he is starting to cough abit today (must be due to all the biscuits and ice cream over the weekend!)

<font color="0000ff">DS has started to cough yesterday and was sniffing too. It seems to be worse this morning. I also feel a bit heaty in the throat and took "Xia Sang Jun" (夏桑菊) last night. With some of us (and kids) falling sick, we have to perk up our health.
fates,
Bird's nest will also cause phlegm right? I thot that's one of the reasons why pregnant lady should not take bird's nest before 2nd trimester???</font>

fates,
No cold stuff if coughing still on. Maybe your mil fed him chicken before e ice-cream? Def no chicken!!!
hmm.. after J recover, can brew a bit of cordy ( 1/2 small thingy of cordy with pork, red dates & gou qi zi) and let him drink e soup.. helps to "pu" back e "qi" - only when toddler is out of cough or flu or any sickness and def no phglem..

Re: Science Centre (this Sat & Sun only)
I'm planning to visit this Sun so not sure about the fair. Are you going?
Re: Hair balding
It's been about 4 months after you gave birth right? That's the time when almost all pregnancy hormones revert to normal level and hairs that are not usually lost during pregnancy will fall together with the normal hair loss. Continue consuming the supplements so that hair loss is not abrupt. If you're into TCM, maybe you can visit one to prescribe medicine (must tell the sinseh that you're bf) to help you recuperate and "tune" your body back, tell him/her about the hair loss, maybe he/she will ask you to take 何首乌.
If not, try using Pilfood shampoo which is available from some pharmacies, e.g. Jurong Polyclinic, NUH. Some mummies said that it helps with curbing hair loss.</font>

managed to coax her to take the chinese med today wif a goat sweet as the carrot! must give it a few days at least to see if it works, i guess. She doesn't cough much but when she does, can hear the phlegm. The western med & ventolin inhaler this time din seem to work. thanks, will keep these contacts in mind.

This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl, stay in a New York Hospital.
It was sent by a medical doctor - Make sure to read what is in the closing statement
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slowdown.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last
Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
Wth the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste, Not see
his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good
friendship die,
Cause you never had time
To call and say,'Hi'
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
<font color="119911">Dear All: PLEASE READ & PASS on to everyone you know -
even to those you don't know! It is the request of a special girl who will soon leave this world due to cancer. This young girl has 6 months left to live, as her dying wish, she wanted to send a letter telling everyone to live their life to the fullest, since she never will. She'll never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a family of her own.</font>

joyce,
aiyo, cough till panting? Then pd gave wat med? On the puffs?
Erm, me will go back to work prob after 10 weeks or max 12 weeks. ms sure will drop once start work but i think dun be too bother by it...if not suffice then top up with FM lo.
In this kind of economy, better dun be out of action for too long...out of sight, out of mind! Hence must always let boss see you are working hard..hahahahah....

joyce,
wun be dependent on the puff one lah...its meant to use for 4mths (for x case the last round) then it help to build his lungs up. One is ventolin (blue) the other is a orange puff call flexiode( not sure abt the spelling).
wah, you took 11 weeks only? then the rest of the 7 weeks as annual leave? i suppose just supplement with the FM bah. Work stress is like that one.......
