(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB

misaryeo,

For me, I won't be worried. If I think abt it, having a cold will make it difficult for them to suck cos of the stuffiness.. Anyway, milk is not magic food. The main reason why toddlers are encouraged to take milk is for the calcium. Joshua is not a milkaholic and rejects milk frequently. I just make sure he gets his cheese / yoghurt etc.
 


Dsii..u wan do chicken wing? cause i like to eat..wahahaha. If not then i might consider fry chicken wing.

hong
eat alot ah??? hmm..drink milk 6X per day..and 3 feeds are milk with cereall..then cereals like honey stars/bread for tea...

lunch n dinner usually porridge cos lazy mum...oso rice at times (cos he eat damn slow for rice..and i'm impatient)kway teow soup/macroroni..etc...
 
Misaryeo,
possible that he reject milk due to cold. Did u check his gum? Has all his molars out? I found out Julian's molar is erupting. SO there are times he will be a little bit cranky but still ok with food.

Lok,
work, kids, family. I get tired too. Somemore u are expecting now. I always have alot in my mind what I wanna do with the kids on weekends. However, when weekends gets near I feel I exhasted myself with work. So many times I didnt execute the activites at all.

Dsii,
6X milk! wow so much! How many times do u need to buy milk powder? What brand is Ian drinking now? I opposite leh, I am too lazy to prepare porriage especially for Julian. So he end up eating rice. I realised he like soup very much, he always finish the soup 1st.
 
Thanks Lok, what I worry is the calcium he lacks
sad.gif
Cos now he has phelgm, I dun dare to let him eat yogurt and he doesn't like cheese
sad.gif
 
misaryeo,

If it's just temporary milk strike, I won't be overly concerned. U can also try other sources like calcium supplements from pharmacies or I also give goat milk sweets to Joshua.

hong,

Same here. I think Joshua will have to do confinement with me. Daddy usually will ask me what's the program for the weekend. If mummy not going, most probably Joshua will not be going anywhere too.
 
Lok,
same... when daddy on duty then I have to find program for the kids. Whenever I planning to go for a dip, the sky will turn dark leh. So disappointing. When daddy on duty, it will be a bright and sunny day but I cannot handle two at the pool alone. Haizzzzzzzzz

Dsii,
Jan is drinking dugro3. We have problem finding the vanilla flavour for Dugro3 sometime. Most of them come with honey. If cannot find then we will get Dugro1 for her. Julian still drinking Friso3.
 
thanks mummies.. since all say dun need to be so worried abt it.. theni shall not be.. just that very pek chek when i make milk and he drik so little only lor!
 
Hi LP, Read that Gerald is in Little Neuro Tree. I was contemplating this and shichida.. How's your experience with Neuro Tree so far?
 
misaryeo,
I also won't be overly concerned abt E's low milk intake. It's only temperary. Cos he's still eating solids as per norm, right? Just give him more cheese for calcium intake lor.

Why dun u make lesser FM for E, now tat u know he drinks little? At least won't be so pek chek when u see the unfinished milk.

Mummies,
I can't prepare curry chicken this Sun already. Cos gotta attend a full mth celebration prior to the gathering. I'll most likely buy some fingerfood/snacks on the way.

Hong,
I've also started Kay on rice long time ago. She eats the same thing as us for all her meals now. Her fav is chicken rice. Can eat 1 whole packet of chicken rice on her own.

Klcc,
Have u received my email? Still can change the particulars?
 
YB he dun like cheese leh
sad.gif
so i am waiting for him to recover abit more then give him yogurt. i only make abt 120-180ml each time... haizz... headache..

tmr is his first day of school leh.. mummy gan jiong lor.. crossing my fingers very hard, hoping that he'll be fine
sad.gif
If not i sure cry one lor
 
YB,
chicken rice can be quite oily so must control her intake.

I make an effort to prepare meals for the family on weekends. As we have meal outside for weekdays, i cannot imagine myself having dinner outside again. Furthermore, finding a place to eat, wat to eat can be quite a headache sometime. My hubby and I ask each other wat we like to have for dinner everyday after work. So on weekends, I will decide wat to have.
happy.gif


KLCC,
U are not feeling well ah. Take care.
at this stage, i just want Janelle to continue her calcium intake. furthermore, both our ger are not the thin thin type so dun really have to worry lor. I am more than happy if she could reduce her milk intake to once a day.

How is Cel eating? Janelle appetite increase alot. One of the night she finished half 7" pizza all on her own. She asked for 2nd helping of rice. I was shocked! If her daddy taking supper she will follow as well.

However, we dun really let her snack.
 
hello mummies..
R has refused to drink milk since 2 weeks ago, he will only drink when is half alseep. Haiz... He dun take any cheese or yogurt wat other food can he take to replenish the calcium?
 
Misaryeo..Venice is also drinking 120ml each time..But 1 day she can take 12 to 16 time...I going broke buying milk powder. 1mth she take 4 tin of 1.8litre.

E having cough..is norm that the intake is reduce, that time V also like that..maybe dilute the milk abit might be better.

Dsii..ok then i either fry chicken or curry chicken since YB is not doingg.
 
Hong, ya true..our gers not those miao tiao type..i am controlling her milk intake too..I always dillute her milk..she still on 3 feeds/day
and her solid food intake is as per 3 meals or more..she will drink her daily wake up milk followed by porridge as breakfast at my mum pl, will take the lunch (with 2nd helping somemore) at the school. Another milk feed after school. Take rice at my mum's place at dinner will have another round of dinner at my own place again at 8pm..then followed by one last milk at bedtime..
Think my mum also let her snack in between meals..v big appetite hor :p she will become mummmy size v soon!
 
Hong me too, tired of eating outside food. Then I suggest to cook at home and qns back my hb if he can take 'simple meals'. His reply was if it's nice of coz he will take. I told him we must 'grow' together mah... my culiniary skills will improve if i cook more often, so for now he has to bear with my lousy cooking first.

Then he says, If 'bo sim' to cook, no mattter how long i practise also not nice. Which i think it's quite true.. coz sometimes I cook, I just anyhow.. tired from the marketing and preparation already.

Then I immediately think of U.. Coz I think u really put in effort in cooking yr weekend dishes.
 
Zita,
Your ger can drink so much and still so slim. C drinks 3-4x milk per day at 160ml only...

Hong,
Wow, Janelle can really eat leh ...
 
Zita,
Venice drinking so much too, she take solid food also right... char is also drinking alot of milk, nowadays, I make 150ml to 200ml of milk for her, stimes within 2 hours she can drink 3 bots but but she dun take much solid food...
 
Wow, all your toddlers can drink so much milk.
My J only takes abt 150ml each time (maybe 3 times a day, at most 4 times). At least 2 slices of cheese a day. Plus 3 meals a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner). No wonder he's only 11 kg !
 
klcc,
Have forwarded your the email. I hope everything can be settle by today, cos we're going Bintan tomorrow. Sorry for any inconveniences caused!

Zita,
I'm shocked ! Venice can drink so much milk! My 1.8kg can last me more than 1 mth. Kay drinks 150ml milk 4 times a day, 2 solid meals a day + healthy snacks in between.

Lok,
No worries, my Kay is also around 12kg.
 
Melody,
Foods such as Chinese cabbage, kale and broccoli are other alternative calcium sources. Although most grains are not high in calcium (unless fortified), they do contribute calcium to the diet because they are consumed frequently.

Additionally, there are several calcium-fortified food sources presently available, including fruit juices, fruit drinks, tofu and cereals.

klcc,
Janelle appetite not very good in the morning. She only drink her milk and will head off to school. Did she eat well when u go oversea? We realised Janelle will slim down after trips cos she doesnt seem to enjoy oversea food.

PM,
I like ur " 'grow' together mah... my culiniary skills will improve if i cook more often".

Aiyo, so pai seh. I am ur inspiration.

I get very upset when my hubby dun like my cooking. How simple is ur simple? I think my hubby is too pampered by MIL. They must have 4 - 5 dishes for meals. For us, only 2, Janelle doesnt eat much dishes, I cant be preparing 4 - 5 dishes.

Marketing and Preparation : Can be quite tiring too. So hubbies must give face and support to finish our food else wun be inspire to cook anymore.

Zita,
Venice drinks so much!
 
Ya loh, she is drinking much more then when she was an infant,. Her intake increase after switching to Gain IQ from 1 yrs old. Still taking 2 times night feed 3am & 6am. Sometime siao siao within 2 hrs can request for 3 bottle of milk. I feel is more of craving rather then hungry. Daddy say she so skinny good to drink more milk...but drink liao also still the same. Soild only lunch & dinner. Morning is 3 bottles of milk from 9am to 11am.

Hong - Dont need to feel paiseh. I read yr blog... u really put in yr heart to cook.. and I feel ashamed of myself.. turn out not so nice also my fault.. coz I anyhow hamtum. Hahaha.

Simple meal -
CP CKN Wings/Nuggets my fav la.. put inside microwave can liao ;p
Dan tou fu cut and fry also easy..
Steam fish another of my forte.. keke..
I seldom cook veg coz all meat eaters lol
The soup that i cook is always very bland, although I keep thinking that it's the easiest..put everything inside slow cooker can liao. but always fail de..turn out bland n oily.
 
PM,
Soup - I may able to help u. For other dishes, stime also doesnt turn out nice. Haiyah..

Wat soup do u intent to make this weekends?
Carrot, mushroom soup? I got to warn u, I "invest" alot in soup. So prepare to pay a bit more for the ingredients.

Are u using slow cooker?
U try this and tell me wat is the outcome.
Carrot & mushroom soup

Ingredient
1 radish - cut into large cube
1 carrot (Big) - cut into large cube
1 can of mushroom
1 sweet corn - cut into 3 pcs

$2 of chicken bone
$4 of pork rib.

Method
- Boil chicken bone and pork rib to remove the "smell" & blood. Remove.
- Add pork rib and chicken bone into the slow cooker, add 1.8l of boiling water.
- Add the carrot, radish & sweet corn. Switch to HIGH and cook for 1 hr.
- Add mushroom and cook for another 1hr.
- Add salt to taste.

Actually all the ingredient + 1.8L of water shld be enough for two meals. Hopefully it turn out well for u.
 
klcc,
Janelle didnt eat well on her last HK trip. Hubby has already warned her to eat more this time. Guess wat she said? "Daddy & mummy eat lor, I will sleep on the table!" *faint*

May be she was too tired on the last trip. Hopefully she will eat well this time.
 
PM,
could it be yr soup boiling hours not long enough(I usually boil my soup for at least 6 hrs) or ingredient not enough..cos like wat u said cooking soup is the easiest, js dump everything.
I got this v easy steam recipe, the gravy is yummy to go with rice & v zy to prepare.
marinate 8 to 10 pcs of chicken wings with chinese cooking wine, oyster sauce, soya sauce, pepper for an hr. Soak mushroom & jin zhen gu. Slice the mushroom. slice some chinese sausages.
transfer the marinated chix wings onto a wide bowl, lay the mushroom & jin zhen gu on top followed by the chinese sausages. scoope some marinate & pour on top of the mushroom etc..steam for 20 min..and is ready for makan

Hong, hi 5..me too, i invest a lot on the soups..we luv soups..maybe cos i am a cantonese..am particular on taste of soup, in fact, we usually drink the soup & throw away the ingredients..v wasteful hor :p
 
Hmmm, I dunno what to bring, mayb go buy curry or asam fish head, heehee sudden crave, now very hungry in office, luckily gg home soon...
