mummies,
Can u all advise me on wat kinda health supplements I can give my bb? Other than the usual Vit C, cod liver & multivits?
I see the virus so rampant these days. So scary. Somemore intending to send Kay to CC when she turns 18mths. Thinking to strengthen her immunity now.

Hello mummies, hope u all have fun at Dsii's place tmrw!
And all the unwell babies have a speedy recovery!
Joshua also recently recovered from a bout of HFMD. Mild case. Doesn't seem to have much effect on him (in fact, his appetite is very good). Just difficult to manage as he is not used to being quarantined at home.
Do u all feel like your babies have suddenly grown up? Just after his 1st b'day, Joshua seemed to be able to do quite a few things (walking, climbing down the bed himself, holding his own bottle, sleeping on his own). Big boy now! Kinda mixed feeling on my part though.
YB, actually the best way to acquire immunity is to be exposed to the illness. Joshua's PD recommends Fish Oil (the brand is PFO "Pure Fish Oil"), $30+ a bottle which can last 1.5mths.

ep - that was funny.
zita - my PD/nurse told me not to put antibiotics in fridge. is it the white solution, with alot of residue one?
YB - on supplements, my PD always say most impt is healthy/balance diet. but my boy also always sick due to IFC, thus I pester her again
she say: most impt is still Vit C. the probitics also good as help intestine to digest better. alot of times kids get sick becos of tummy no good. the cod liver oil is the good old mtd, she reply is why not.
Anyway, I have further research and start to give zav: 1) Childlife Colostrum + probitics 2) Cod liver oil 3)Multivits with vit c (my pd says not all mulivits hv vit c. so pls see label) I gave Zav these on certain days of the week. not everything everyday.
some other things tat other parents are buying:
1) Nature way's Sambucol for Kids (jun mummy buying)
2) VIT C Natrol - ESTER C LIQUID - 250 MG - 8 FL OZ New Berry Flavor (jun mummy buying)
sometimes i will KPO n see wat others buy in those drugstore/iherb spree.

Would be joining u all for the gathering tomorrow. Yeah!
YB, like what MTDT suggested, tink the Childlife Colostrum + probitics is good. my twins are taking that with their milk feed every morning. when i wean Germayn from bm i'll give her that as well. then i give them multi vits also, but it's those jelly type. cos the liquid one from childlife for germayn but i only give her once every few days cos she always struggles when i give that to her..duno why also.. then cod liver oil i give scotts emulsion to the twins and germayn, but germayn, i only feed her that once every few days..eh..or a week. haha.

dsii,
I organised my own spree for childlife essential colostrum...got it from myvitanet.com. There are few other websites such as luckyvitamin which sells as well. Else, you can also get it in GNC here but will be much more expensive lor...
Zita,
U can also consider nordic naturals cod liver oil....I got mine fromo luckyvitamin.com.
What is a good brand for multivit with vit c? I gave delrosa which is recommended by missmoon.

wow, looks like most of u feed quite a lot of supplements to your bbs. I only give the pure fish oil (upon PD's recomm) and since it a very rich source of omega 3, good for brain devt too. Other than that, I also give him bb yoghurt daily which has been fortified with pre-biotic/probiotic. Like what MTDT said, most importantly is ensure choose healthy stuff for your babies. (fruits + veg are essential)
i actually think the IFC exposure to diseases is doing Joshua's immunity some good. Other than the HFMD, he has been healthy (i.e. no need to see PD) for the past 3 mths. Quite an achievement. So mummies, don't be too overly concerned.
sometimes i think i'm a very lazy mummy. My mum-in-law is very paranoid abt joshua's hygiene. I just let him be lor, unless it's clearly unacceptable. My thinking = providing an artifically sterile environment makes him very vulnerable once out of that protective shield.

Wah! Mt - Zav liek got so much to eat. Haha.
I also ever asked my doc abt giving supplments, like what MT says balance and healthy diet is most impt, eat according to the pyramind chart. But because VitC cant be retained in the diet so I still give him daily doses.
My doc is also a father, so whatever he gives to his child I will follow him. However he did comment that all vitamins in SG are not certified by HSA, so take it with a pinch of salt. He prefers to use good old brands that are in SG for long time like scotts emulsion. Colustrum extract (ie not from mother's milk) he said is quite new in the market so "the results" might not have been tested, that's why he didnt recommend me to get it. So now, I'm feeding Emerson only Scott's Emulsion (Orange) with Vit C. I stopped his Enervon C because with his food and 2 kinds of Vits, I scare I overdose him.
YB - If u want to strengthen immune system, VitC, A and B does the job. So U might want to consider multi vit with C for Kay. Pre/Probiotic protects the bb's gut, so they dont get diahoerr and vomitign easly, this are avaible in certain FM (GainIQ, Pediasure, Nestle range etc) and some yogurt as well.
Bear in mind also if u are giving more that 1 kind of vit, daily doses of Vit A shld not exceed 2000 IU for our babies otherwise will cause intoxification.

Forget to add: My doc also says its time to teach our bb basic hygiene. So he asked me to practise washing hands for them esp so when we come back to the house. The most germs and bacteria are found in their hands esp so when they like to touch touch here n there. I do that before Emerson's meal time also. He will rub his palms where u say "xi shou"
Blessings - Nope, the orange dont have the fishy smell, it's very orangy and tangy smell in fact he enjoys more than normal Vit C syrup I previously gave.

Blessings - Yes, I give straight from the spoon. But it says to give 15ml, E's mouth is not big enough for the big tablespoon so I give him 2x Once day and once night (if i remember).
Emerson used to like delrosa, that is if I make it like "ribena colour" if not he wont drink.

Wow. You guys feed so many supplements. I opt for the natural approach. So far so good... (touch wood). D has never had to see the doc for any illness. I only feed him Orange Scotts Emulsion cos he doesn't like raw fruit (vit C) and I myself grew up on cod liver oil. I don't feed him the original one cos I think it tastes disgusting. ;-p

Mummies,
For Kay's diet, I make sure I give 1 veg + 1 protein food for each meal. Other than milk, I'll also give her yoghurt/fruit.
I've just bought Seven Seas multi-vits with cod liver oil & vit C. And another Champs emulsion cod liver with orange. Haha. I take the multi-vits too, cos I think I malnutrition. Everyday mostly eat bread.
I saw there a Lite Yacult in NTUC. I think it's less sweet. Is it suitable for our bb? I hope to strengthen her stomach & intestines.
MT,
Where to get colostrum & probiotics? Wah! Zavier eats alot of supplements!

PM,
I'm thinking of switching Kay to Pediasure cos I heard it is gd for fussy eaters, although it also contain lesser calcium. No choice lah..since Kay seems to prefer Pediasure to Gain IQ. I guess I can only supplement her calcium in other ways.
My mum said Kay's teeth grow very slowly. Each tooth takes about more than 1 month to spout out. So I guess I need to giver her more cheese liao.

Ooh... Childlife colostrum & probiotics can be brought at GNC. it's $79 I think. but i bought from some USA spree for only $34. It's much cheaper as even with 35% GNC discount, still need about $50.
But yes, probiotics can also be found in yakult and yogurt... so not neccessary get it. but i seldom have a chance to feed Zav both... so i get it.
actually Zav really eat alot huh? oops.
I gave him probiotics on 3 days in a week, the CLO & Multivits - I gave him once a week only.
Zoe - i must agree that your natural mtd works!!! D has a balance diet.... his typical meal is a 3 course meal leh. appetizer, main and desert! haha I dun have the luxury of provideing Zav a good meal on most days. till now his weekday dinners are mainly still cereal.
then when I pick him at 7pm, he sleeps at 9pm, I hardly hv time to feed him anything in between.
