Eve,
I spoke to a daddy of 5 kids 2 weeks ago,
I asked him, how do they cope, 1 breadwinner, 5 kids,
this is what he told me...
<font color="0000ff">We live day by day with love & whatever little we have,
we go to restaurant only once a blue moon,
we don't have the luxury to travel yearly,
but we're very contented & happy,
don't worry, God will provide.</font>
I'm not a christian, but I'm touched.

Connie,
It's called Reutefene, but now the name changed to Bio Gaia. 1 day 5 drops to be taken in e morning. Are u seeing any doc frm SBCC, u can ask e PD for it. Nt sure if Guardian sells it.
Ellysia,
Happy 2nd birthday to YuZhe! May he hav a blessed birthday and grow up to be a strong n honorable man.
Feifei,
How is Char now? Babies after 1 can drink fresh milk, but it must be FULL CREAM, nt low fat. Think its natural for their appetite to drop when they're ill.
Lengleng,
That's really touching. But I really believe tt God will provide.
Check wif u, ur nick in FB is Tan LengLeng also issit? Can I add u to my list?

lengleng,
I always think that supplement cannot be taken very constantly for years else our body will slow/stop creating the immune system to fight the disease since we kept taking the supplements.
Some people took organic powder which have good effect on their body but after a few years, when they stop, it will affect their body system too.
My BIL took supplements for years end up now having cancer. Not sure is it due to supplements. He is non smokers, always go gym n take supplements constantly and quite young.
For me, supplement is only temporary and no intention to intake for years.
Kids will need more vit if their fruits intake is not that much. I will start giving my boy vit C after he turn 2 since he always play with fruits and feed my dogs.
Roxy
My boy also v slow in speech. He don repeat what I said. now he can say 1 to 5, a bit of aphabate, xiao su, jie jie, mama, mummy, daddy, papa, ah ma etc but not accurate. kuku become gugu, kaka become gaga.

roxy,
do you let your maid stay at home alone with your gal in the day time? My MIL gg tour next week and my leave not approved, can only take half day morning. thinking of letting her stay at home with my ger, not sure ok or not,.
So far, only done that a 2-3 hrs only. If she go SIL place, I will be v tired walking up n down since I need to fetch my boy back from CC.

Connie,
there's lots of articles on popping pills or eating fresh,
it's another chicken & egg issue,
no one has a definite reply.
Many reasons cause cancer,
my own dad is a cancer survivor, twice some more.
When I when National Cancer Center with him,
(as usual, KPO me will talk to people lah)
most patients there are struck when they least expect the tumor.
Doctor says genes, air, food, water, habits, lack of sleep, stress lifestyle, etc, etc, etc...
How to explain?
Just my 2 cents.

Lengleng,
Thanks for the sharing of the story...so touching. sometimes in life we get too worried for the slightest things.
I agree taking too much organic food will cause the body system to get used to it. just like what old folks always say... "eat dirty grow up faster" hee
Just to share..i came across a clinic. the doc is specialize in "treating" autistic kids..
i just realised one of his way of "treating" is by improving their immune system by vitamins supplements etc. =) since there is no exact cause of autism. sigh...i see how the parents helping with their kids at all cost really makes me feel parents are the most weida people in this world. =) some even travel from neighbouring countries to cure their kids.

Eve,
well... ... ...
talk about organic food,
there's this lady who's down with liver cancer,
she's a home maker, seldom eat out,
cook, eat, drink all organic,
she exercise regularly, don't smoke, don't drink alcohol...
When I talk to her, she's all yellow already,
after few weeks, I don't see her anymore,
I guess, she's gone to somewhere painless already...
I ask my dad's doctor why, he tells me lots of blah blah blah, still never answer my question...

Yest brought Yu Zhe to zoo to celebrate his bday. Halfway while playing in the water park, rain start pouring so we have to go back. But got carry umbrella so just need to walk slower & he can't run around. Now he know how to see the animal exhibits and he will remember his favourite otters, but yest unable to see otters bec' they r preforming, then on the way back they hide in their nest cos of rain. Overall he enjoyed, he like the running and greenery.

Speech - my boy will sometimes repeat after us.. like parrot. Got 1 time we say he is like parrot, then he said 'parrot'.. we nearly laugh until collapse. Recently he blurt out short phrases like "I want water" but still not clear, trying to teach him.
I believe speech is related to the ability to munch chunky food cos apparently it help to exercise the mouth muscles. Also, the story telling at home helps a lot too.

<font color="aa00aa">HI Ladies, i'm back. Clearing ton of emails yest, so din came in here.
My YuJie still dont talk much oso, but i realised she is choosy in what words to talk. She'll only talk if she likes to, or else she'll ignore us.
Btw, i'm thinking to send YuJie to 2 hrs playgroup next year and i'm asking her if she wanna to follow her sis to school, but she reply me 'NO'. Everytime we asked she will say No. Then we try to tempted her with new bag, new shoes, snacks, she still dont want to go. Not sure what will happen when i send her there. *headache*</font>

Ellysia,
Agreed with you. My frien gal have to see speech therapy and she suspect due to jaws. Last time she has a mind set, if bb don eat, nevermind, give milk. End up her gal jaws not strong.
My boy also don like to eat lor n v choosy on food.
Lengleng,
Cancer can come all the sudden. Everyone was surprise as he is the healtiest compared to the rest. Yet one brain tumor, now collapse. His is the final stage, after all the operation and pain, another one detected at the other side. Life is so unpredictable.
CC vs playgroup
Still flickerminded. My friend advise me to stay cc for another 3 months to see how it goes. If still fall sick so easily then stop. He send his gal to 3 diff cc and he conclude that all cc virus are diff. min 6 months for each to get immuned.
Roxy
There is modern mottisorri at JW swimming pool. Notsure good or not. No HFMD there but got 9cases of chicken box detected.

I read in baby magazine earlier on tat speech is related to eating and munching. But before tat, i have been training my boy to eat 'tough'/chunky food etc since he has teeth. Maybe also good he develop his teeth v early. Sometimes he can't manage the food and he will spit it out or try to swallow it (end up whole piece in the poo poo).
Now he can eat small pieces of meat provided it is cook soft enuff. On weekends dinner we go out and let him eat outside food.
A good way to start is to progressively increase the texture/size of the food, can start on his favourite food. Or u can give baby bites/gerber puffs. Pasta is oso good bec' it is soft and yet train them to munch.
Doctor told me milk only give calcium but other nutrients v little. So if give a lot of milk but v little solid food, is not good lor.

couldn't help to post and agree about the poor country ppl being stronger in health. when my boy had stomach flu, both hubby and i were infected but my maid was still going strong. also when hubby and i gets the flu, she doesn't get it at all.
i tried giving lucas the liquid multi-vits and he didn't like. so now going to try the tablets form. i tried the gummy bears but found them too sweet. my boy falls sick very easily too. and i think its cos of his cc cos there's a girl in his class who is always sick. i just flipped through the medicine book today and saw that she is constantly on medication. and it seems that her mother will not bring her home unless she's very sick. but that's so unfair to other kids! Grrr!

Now I still feeling the CH charging me $400 after subsidy consider expensive. If I switch to pg, I can enrol him into sat enrichment class. If not, will stop all enrichment class first.
My boy start fighting in cc already. Furthermore, he fight with a gal smaller size. Now they have more gals than boy. If I switch to pg, interaction time is lesser, maybe will reduce voilent. hahah

Hihi girls
see u all talking abt speech ah. Lil zu-en's speech is pretty developed. She is starting to string words to form sentences n can string up to 7 words. I m not worry abt a speech but she's painfully shy! She clamped up when there's strangers n stick to me like koala bear. Duno how to make her less shy n more confident.
Re: supplements
I think they do help. Now lil zu-en fall sick less easily n recover faster wor as compared to before she starts supplement.
