(2006/12) December 2006 MTBs


fizz,
haha.. win liao lor... u muz be hoping tt May comes quickly.. :p

hwee,
thanks.. now still okie.. juz tt i drank alot of water n need to keep going toilet.. quite disturbing coz whenever i need to go toilet, need to take off lab coat, wash hand, den go.. so troublesome.. :p

hi mommies,
is it necessary to give bb chicken pox vaccination? i was wondering tt since chicken pox is not life threatening, can i leave it to his own immune system to fight the infection in future... hubby felt tt since can take, might as well get him vaccinated so tt in future won't hav to worry abt it... but i dun like the idea of getting him vaccinated against everything.. would like him to fight the infection with his own immune system.. am i siao huh?
 
Dora
Same same. Nowadays I dun dare hide anymore medicines or supplements in his food liao. Just give it to him straight. Then hor these few days on top of his bronchitis he is also on food strike. Cooked porridge but he refused to eat so had to throw away the whole pot. Only ate a few mouthfuls of rice from our plate nia. When I tried to feed him rice from his own food bowl he also refused. I m getting stressed. Dunno what to do...shd I stop cooking porridge n just let him have rice with the hope tat he gets used to it soon n start eating more? I also dunno. So stressed cos he is still not drinking much milk.

Shihui
U r not the only one. I m also not giving my boy the chicken pox jab. I m not concerned whether he develops immunity via an actual infection or through vaccine (cos both stimulates the immune system in the same way). But I read that one of the potential causes of autism may be the preservatives/stabilizers (usually heavy metal based) used in childhood vaccines. So we decided we'll just give him those that r really necessary nia.
 
shihui,
y r u siao? i'm oso nt giving. chix pox vac wat. anyway, tink i heard/read fr somewhere tt having e vaccine doesn't mean e child will b 100% immuned to it. so wat 4?
btw, dun make me paiseh lah. i'm really nt a gd cook. i'm just v boliao, like 2 take pix n post on my blog. stuck at home mah, wat 2 do?
biggrin.gif
a lot o mummies r much better cooks den me hor. nv bluff u!

lil,
aiyo, sickness n food strikes always go hand n hand ya? *pat pat* i noe e food wastage part. sometimes in one day, i can throw away 1 big bag o mandy's food. if it's me i'll just keep cooking both porridge n rice. n standby bread/fruits/biscuits or watever he eats. at most waste lor. hope he gets well soon.

dora,
wah, JT bully u ar? hahahaha. now i wonder how well mandy will eat in other ppls' care. aiyo, i tink hor, i'll miss mandy v v much if e time i spend w her is suddenly cut dn by so much. but well, all o them gotta grow up, like u say.
happy.gif


oh regarding cornstarch, i've been hesitating 2 use it. wanna use it to bind food n soften meat. how much cornstarch do u add 4 one serving o meat? i tink JT n mandy eats bt e same amt lah. hehe.

serene,
eh, nothing special leh my pasta. i'm sure i prepared it e same way as u do.

cut vege into small pieces. puree pumpkin. steam e vege n meat (now mandy doesn't eat it minced, she prefers small slices but pork is harder so cut it smaller. chix just shred. beef dun overcook). boil e macaroni for at least 30min (tip from doggie who is oso v passionate bt bb food. *wink*) must drain e water well hor. mix everything 2gether. den i will sprinkle some mozarella n steam for like 3min more so tt e cheese melts.
happy.gif


i guess u must find a vege tt javier likes. mandy adores peas n will pick them up by hand n pop them in while i stuff some macaroni n meat into her mouth. hehehe.... or try carrot puree? tomato? sweet potato? anything lah.

mytrend,
aiyo, dun need permission 2 join one. just blabber on.
happy.gif
 
hi ladies,
just went back to work today and i'm offloaded for a while. very grateful.

kimi,
you really have very very interesting recipes. i am truly inspired by you. you are my inspiration. you have motivated me! where do you get your recipes from? trial and error or you have a great recipe book for fussy eater?? i need it desperately to make nat eatttttttttt!!! i'm almost giving up liao.
 
Hi Fizz,
sharing by one of the mummy abt one of the jab - the 18th mth booster jab, one must be more vigilant Coz she mentioned that when her gal had her booster jab, her whole leg with the injection became cramped. She cried as if the leg broke into 2 wor!!!! she almost wanted to send her to hospital. her mum said because she never massage the site of injection so the whole lump become harden and affect the leg muscles. her mum told me during her time, nurses would always tell mummies to put hot towel at the injection area and massage gently so that the jab solution can spread and not affect the body muscles. But she dono if that's just coincidence or wat..

so this might apply to the p jab too. last 2 week, I also kana jab too, my whole area also numb and swollen for a week.

Hi shihui,
ai-yo, I dun give any jab to tx also. only give her basic 6 in 1 + those required jab (mmr and boster). my sil's doc advise her bb to give chicken pox jab. she will be taking her bb for her jab next mth.
 
Dora,
congrta!!!
so glad tat JT is adapting well and even her eating habit have changed
bounce.gif
.
wat new hairsatyle you get? show show..... hee hee he.

Shihui,
i hv 2 fren's child who got chicken pox jab n still kena chicken pox.
the only diff (after comparing notes) is tat the child who had the vaccine get lesser spots popping out nia.
so to me, the vaccine is kinda useless provided you have a few kid at home.

Fizz,
Meg's PD jab her on the arms.
according to the PD, once our tots start walking, it's better to jab on the arm.

hope Cae will 55 recover.
dun feel lousy abt the fall. juz remember not to plc him by the side of the bed anymore lo.

Lil,
how's E?
 
Kimi
Tats why I also not sure whether it's the illness or a behavorial thingy. Cos even b4 he fell ill, I was already having difficulty getting him to eat his porridge. Maybe now its a combi. Ya tot of cookig porridge n giving rice if he refuses but really waste alot leh. Feel so guilty. Will see how it goes.

Alabone
Must presevere. I also feel v sian see my boy like tat. But still must come up with ways to make him eat.

Mbb
E only 2nd day on antibiotics...still v phlegmy. Going to see PD again to assess whether the med Bambec working or not...if not hv to go on ventilator liao. Meg meg looks v chubby n cute. Her looks actually hasn't changed v much.
 
Kimi
Ha, JT is not 100% angel when she is at the CC lah. Yesterday she refused to eat her kway teow soup cos she doesn't like soft and nua food. I already anticipated it so prepared alternatives for her. Today they are having porridge for lunch, so I prepared rice for her this morning, cos I dun think she is going to eat porridge either.
Initially I also dun wan to use cornstarch, but JT refused to eat minced meat on its own, so bo bian lor... I used quite a lot cos I add a lot of soy milk, so her meat pattie texture is almost like those commercial meat balls very smooth one.. nowadays I am trying to slowly cut down lor... I used to put 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and about 60ml of soy milk. Its also my trick to get her to consume more soy milk lah...
Mandy is good leh, will eat small pcs of pork and beef. JT will only eat small pcs of chicken. pork and beef still got to mince.

SH
I also never give JT the chicken pox jab, cos the doc said also not 100% full proof... he said the only ones that are 100% are the 6-in-1, rubella. The rest like rotavirus also not full proof one.. The pneumoccocal is not 100%, but since it has very serious consequences, its better to take so we took lor.

MBB
Aiya, just going to perm my hair only lah... nothing out of this world... just trying to look less auntie nia hehehehe
Yah, I also miss JT's look when she was a baby... time really flies....
 
Lil

waste also bo bian lor... JT also wasted sooooo much food previously. Sick they won't eat one lah... just give whatever he would take lor...potato? sweet potato? Bread? I used to finish up whatever food that JT rejected, that's why I am still so fat!!
 
LiL,
antibiotic must complete then can see the effect mah (but sometimes it does not work even completed). only 2 days how can see the immediate effect? those medicine not 'shen yao' (god medicine).
 
Hwee...

Thanx...I wil PM u the list by tonite...I wil list them in order of preference...max wil b 5 items...if the list is too long...jus cut out the least priority ones from the bottom...=P...as I dunno how much u wil b orderin...n u may not wanna go beyond USD250...

Tim is not thick skinned lah...I like to tink of them as brave boys...=P

Dora...

Y is cornflour not gd...I tot I cld try yr method to make the meat softer n more tender for Cae...

So Pat Schhse is actually willing to spoonfeed JT...most of the ones I asked dun do tat...hey...tat is very impt for Cae leh...he is 85% spoonfed...

SH...

Hmmm...not very motivatin to go to the toilet hor...so mah fan...

Cae has taken his chix pox jab...I guess the onset wif a jab wil b more to shingles...the pd highlighted to me tat while itz not necessary...it may cause inconvenience if it happens durin major exams or cause scarrin lor...the jab is more for minimisin the possibility lah...I took it myself...as I was afraid tat I wld kena durin preg...

Kimi...

Cae ate his mango pasta yest...but not before my maid removed all the minced chix...he jus refused to eat the meat!!!...initially he refused to open the mouth...my maid hd to try to get him to get a first taste of mango b4 hez willin to eat...n he ate the soft rice (I mean very very very rice) wif soup...wif the usu fussin...

Afcai...

My mil told me to rou the area of jab as well...

Mbb...

I miss Cae's bb look too...

Cae is a flipper...he flipped til he fell out from the leg side of the bed...luckily or unluckily my bed is actually a 13" mattress...

Mummies...

Wat do u tink of a boy wearin a pink shirt huh...issit ok...
 
Fizz

No lah, its not that cornflour is no good, but trying to get them to eat the most natural food mah... because her meat pattie now tastes very processed lor... so much cornflour and soy milk. I make the pattie batter almost like pancake batter like that, with the meat and veg inside.... that's why she will eat I think...
Yah, I'm also very surprised the CC spoonfed her milk cos I never gave them instructions to do so... cos JT won't let me spoonfeed her isomil anyway... but they tried yesterday and told me she took 25ml... I know it sounds miserable, but to me, that's already A LOT!!! Wah I really sound so pathetic hor?? 25ml is A LOT! :p
 
Afcai
NOT TOKING ABT ANTIBIOTICS LAH!!! Toking abt Bambec...my PD ask us to try Bambec (which opens the airways in the lungs) for 2 days then come back for review to see if he needs to put E on ventilator instead.

Dora
Dunno leh...previously sick he still ate some porridge. These few days throw whole pot of porridge away. He doesn't like bread, potato or even sweet potato liao. Biscuits also dun want unless it's adults biscuits with all the unhealthy fats. Cereals also dun want, adult breakfast cereal also dun want. Yogurt also dun want. So these past few days he kinda like living on air.
 
Lil...

I rem Och mentionin tat Bambec caused Made to become very phlegmy...

Does TV work on E...it does work 50% for Cae...I noe itz bad...
 
Serene,
my gal cannot speak but can understand.

Shihui,
my gal same as PH leh also scared of waves. dunno is the sound that scare them or the BIG pool of the sea. Wow they realli good frds manz..

Selinna aldy vaccinated against chicken pox. I brought her to BB Polyclinic for the jab. Yes the nurse say not 100% guarantee wont hv chicken pox. just that maybe if chicken pox comes, it wont come out so much lidat lor. then is like 90+% wont have isit ar? i also forget lar. i knw is not 100% say wont hv chicken pox one lor.

roo,
I dunno got such law that 4wks be4 ML cannot take MC leh. just submitted my 2 days MC (for yday & tues) & go cancel my leave leh. haha. If lidat then nxt visit i ask my gynae issue me Hosp MC lor. might as well stay at home & wait for labour then stil is covered under MC> haha
 
Dora
I know some kids behave differently when the main caregiver is not around. so in your case, it seems to work well for JT as she feeds well in cc. seems like the teachers are very patient and are willing to accommodate to each child's needs. that's very good.
happy.gif
i'm sure JT will get used to the routine and start eating all food given after a while.

wow, so now you're not auntie anymore liao, so have to call you 'mei nu' le.
happy.gif


you and kimi really make so much effort for cooking for your kids! Salute!

Fizz
its ok. think i'll go just below 260 in case the exchange rate set by the customs is higher and i'll have to pay GST. :p

I'm ok with boys wearing pink or pink prints. i actually let him wear some of my girl's clothing too! haha! so i'm not the best person to answer this. :p

Mummies
Seems like the chicken pox vaccine is not very popular here.
happy.gif
i got chicken pox during my 1st pregnancy and got so worried. so i guess if i can minimise the pain and agony for my children, i'll do it. i know its not 100% proof.
 
LiL
when children are sick, they are more picky with food. also smaller or no appetite. dun worry too much. they'll feed more after they are better. actually in adults its quite similar too. take care!

mbb
post new pics of meg lei. she's such a missy now!
happy.gif


Fizz
forgot to mention to you, my boy fell from my bed a few times liao! sigh! cannot help it as he always wanna climb up to sleep with me even in the middle of the night! :p
 
Fizz
Ya, i also remember Och say that Bambec didn't work on Made but my PD say he thinks E wld not like the nebulizer, so he ask me to try Bambec 1st. No leh, E not interested in TV. My mum n I decided tat we wld feed him rice from our plate during dinner cos he seems to want to immitate us adults. We'll try tat n see how it goes.

Hwee
Ya really pei fu Kimi n Dora. I m v lazy tat's why I wish my boy wld still continue eating porridge. Just chop everything stick in slow cooker nia, how easy is that
happy.gif
 
Fizz
I'm ok with boys wearing some pink shirts/tops. just dun pair the top with hot red trousers can liao
happy.gif
My boy loves reds n pinks n I let him wear quite a lot of red tops cos I think he looks cute in them.

Hwee
Ya...lets hope so.
 
Hi hi!

Chicken pox vaccine is compulsory here, so R had both her MMR and chicken pox jabs together yesterday. So far so good, I hope she won't get fever next week.

Hey LiL,
Is E better? Hope he gets well soon. I have a reverse problem... for a while, R only wanted milk and ate very little foods. Nowadays, she's eating just because she wants to play with the fork and spoon. And I'm still using the babycook - it's probably one of my best 'investments'.

Dora,
Congrats on JT doing so well at cc. And all the best in your new career!

Serene,
Hey, Jav is better than R. Really, coz R doesn't eat any fruits at all and also refuses to take any juices. Only wants milk. Yay, we've tried everything, all sorts of fruits in all sorts of preparations - all failed. And she doesn't take yoghurt either.

As at now, Regina's still rather clingy. I think I've fallen into the trap of overindulgence and spoiling her... haiz.
 
Hi Sylk
I m still using babycook too altho only to cook the excess vege for freezing. Recently, hv been using it to steam rice to make it softer. Thks for the recommendation...it is indeed a good investment.

Overall E seems to be on the mend but I can't tell whether he's still got phlegm in his chest or not. Think we need our Doc n his stethescope for tat
happy.gif


E also still clingy n I dunno why but he is getting so naughty. Keeps on smacking me, grandma n daddy. Doesn't dare to smack strangers yet tho. Think it's my fault cos I started smacking his hand when he does naughty things n he is now imitating me. As soon as we dun let him have his way he will start smacking pple n throwing things on the floor.
 
hi fizz,
i let my jared boy wear pink and i think he looks great. it's this pink and grey huge stripe polo tee that was a gift for him. i pair it with his beige berms and he looks fine. nothing girlie.

dora,
you must be soooo relieved to know that JT is doing well in the cc. i need to learn from you about the different methods of cooking too!

LiL,
poor E. perhaps he is not well therefore his naughty little acts? i also smack jared on his palm too when he is naughty. now when i say nat is naughty, he wants to go smack her. i have to tell him he cannot do that. only mummy and daddy can. i'm so stuck now. don't know how to resolve this...

hi sylk,
how did you overindulge in R? I hardly do that to nat but these days, she like super clingy. see me then want me to carry and don't want anybody else. a bit difficult for me coz shes not exactly light and likes to bounce in excitement when she's carried.

Fizz, hwee,
i think i had quite an okie experience when i had my chicken pox.. quite mild.. not much discomfort.. more like holidaying at home.. juz tt i missed 2 weeks worth of lectures n i nearly failed my Maths.. :p

i think tt is one of the reasons y i decided not to vaccinate PH against chicken pox..
happy.gif


Jen,
hehe.. yupyup.. they can be gd frens liao.. :p i think it could be the sound.. n maybe the waves come quite sudden n fast.. so they got a scare lor..

fizz,
i'm okie with boys wearing pink too.. PH has a few pink tshirt for him to wear at home.. n he got red tees to wear out too...
happy.gif


but... i usually can't tolerate guys who wear tight hugging muscle revealing pink tees... :p

afcai,

Alabone/Lil/Hwee

Aiyo I dun think I am any more special than the rest of you. It was out of neccessity cos JT simply refused to eat even 1 mouth of porridge. I can't possibly sit there and let her starve mah, so just have to keep trying lor, just like what some of you are doing... just that somehow JT's refusal of porridge came much much earlier than the rest.

Lil/Serene
I know how worrying it is to have baby who is on hunger strike, but it is really a phase that will pass. I think both E and Jav are trying to eat adult food liao, just like where JT was a few mths ago. In the beginning, they can only handle rice. They can't handle the others such as meat etc, but yet they dun wan their usual mushy food. That's why I came up with the meat pattie thingy... after a while they will get used to the idea that they have to chew their food and eat like an adult, then they will get better. JT is starting to get a bit better, able to eat quite big pieces of chicken and fruits. I started on plain rice and then gave her very concentrated soup, so hoping she'll get nutrients out of it. Then slowly I added ground meat and veg (I have the munchkin grinder) and then make into bite-size sushi balls... then the meat pattie... slowly one step at a time.... I know its impossible not to be worried, I'm sure you gals remember how distraught I was over JT's eating habits, but it will get better. Just have to keep trying different types of food. Would fish be easier to manage? JT loves to eat bake salmon now. But cannot be overcooked, must be baked just right.

Serene
For the fruit juice, have you tried blending it instead of juicing? Then you can retain the fibre better.

Sylk
Good to hear from you!! I dun think you overindulge in Regina lah... you're doing a great job! I think all of them are starting their terrible 2s already.... JT also.... she will struggle and cry when she doesn't get what she wants.
 
hi mommies
been a while since i came into this forum. one of you left me a comment on my blog, so thought i shld come in and say hello
happy.gif


my twins both sick, so pretty tired these days... btw, has anyone started training their baby to feed her/himself?
 
Dora
Glad to hear that JT is eating well. I think that is $ well spent on the cc. After hearing your story, i am more determined to send D to playgroup in July. Tho he can self feed a bit, he doesnt have the patient to sit at the hi chair for long. always need to on the tv for him. worried this is going to cause problem in future.

btw, D take rice dishes like JT. any special dish to recommend? more stress cooking for D than adults. I make the meat patty like u too, but usually make it into meat ball.

Fizz
Cae is 10kg ah? that is v good considering that he is a fussy eater. D take 3 rice meals a day and he only weigh 10.5kg le. anyway, not complaining abt his weight.
happy.gif
hope u dont mind me asking this, can Cae call u mommy or say other words. I read that chewing ability is related to speech ability, among other factors. I just wonder if Cae is not good at chewing solid food, has he learn to talk? no offend. U can dont answer.
happy.gif
 
karen p,
i can ans ur qn!!!!! hehehehe...
mandy chews v well n has been taking meat slices (not even minced or ground) since like 2 mths back? n she eats pears/apples/plums just lidat for many mths liao. BUT, since she started calling mama n papa since she was 8mth old (?), she still can ONLY call mama n papa. no other consonants n vowels at all. so, definitely NO CORRELATION! hehehehe....
happy.gif


alabone,
aiyooooooooooo..... if u ask me hor, i get most o my inspirations/recipes fr ppl like dora, doggie etc. sometimes anyhow hamtum, sometimes read books/internet, sometimes kpo kpo other bbs' food lor. hehehehe.... i'm sahm lah, so easier to experiment. plus mandy doesn't haf much prob w textures, like i can even stir fry chix n capsicum slices 4 her... so ya, it makes e job much easier.
happy.gif


but like i said hor, in e beginning super disheartening one hor. i will xin xue lai chao serve a new dish only 2 c her wail at e 1st mouthful or overturning e whole plate....
sad.gif
sometimes wanna cry one... until i din dare to try anything new. until i tot e situation was getting outta hand. so i read up n w/in one week, 'revolutionised' (wah! liks so dua dai zi lidat!) e whole toddler mealtime tingy n made myself stick to it. ya, basically, i just blabbered a whole history.......
yawn.gif


*sings* "revolution's coming...."

sylk,
aiyo. y u say u overindulged. u alone over there w her, already doing such a gd job! must gif urself a pat on ur back!
happy.gif


lyricist,
ur twins r so grown up now n sooooooo cute! just 2 let u noe i love reading ur blog! so well written.
happy.gif

i tink q a few o us haf started e self feeding tingy. mandy is beginning to get e idea tt mealtimes means she has to feed herself (tho i'm nt v patient so i stuff food into her mouth in b/w her tries). she can't scoop v well yet. aiyo, u haf twins hor, i can imagine e mess when self feeding starts. *shudder*
uhoh.gif


lil/serene/alabone/fizz,
ya... agree w dora. our kids haf been having food strikes since e longest time. mine was since she's 8 mths. n only now den i c some improvement. n she's getting more n more active n is still happy n healthy. so erm, just know tt it'll pass n it's common n normal.
happy.gif


i tink e mistake i made was serving her any old how mix n match food until she got so fed up. another big mistake is i kept making her eat even when she din wan to, n resorted to distracting/bribing etc. so her attitude 2wards mealtime was not correct. she din view it as a time 4 eating, just wanna b entertained n was impatient n frustrated when she cldn't get wat she wanted. but i've managed to change tt so u can too!

it's slightly hard now to try all sorts of recipes for her now since i'm back to work. my mum is the cook and though i want to suggest this and that, it seems difficult to do coz she will lose temper and say 'so easy you come and cook la' you know? like i'm not the one taking care so i should just bloody shut up. so during weekends when i take over, i try all sorts of different things to make her eat. and kimi, my mum does use the bribing method. i told her to stop doing that but same thing la, she will retort lor. saying that nat doesn't want to eat then how? starve ah?? sigh...

lyricist,
your twins are sooooooooo adorable! look so alike. are they decked out in colours according to gender?? oh dear. that sounded like a really bimbotic qn. forget i asked.

mbb2,
your meg is ever so cute and photogenic la. i'm gonna try my own magazine cover and see how it turns out. thanks for sharing!
 
LiL, Alabone, Hwee, Kimi,
Again, reverse situation.... R doesn't know what smacking/hitting is. So at the playground I have to keep a very watchful eye, else she will kenna bully or pushed by other kids, especially those who have closely aged siblings - these are the ones who really can 'fight'.

Definitely overindulge. I have been reading "The New First Three Years of Life" and the symptoms are all there. If she doesn't improve by 2 years old, I will be in for a loooong haul

Serene,
Nope, R's poop is very soft, no signs of constipation at all. I guess maybe her system just works differently. Like she will get hard poo when on isomil, but watery poop if on too much cow's milk or formula... quite the reverse from norm.

Lyricist!
Awww... Min & Kai are so cute. Looks like they have very different personalities huh? Oh yes, Regina can kind of self feed with fork and spoon already. Most times, she refuses to be fed, wanting instead to do it herself. No choice lor, just standby to wipe up the mess.
