cheerbear,
Actually I don't mind my baby trying out different food, but my mother always tells us not to until after one. I think it's ok to delay the eating of other food as long as the baby is fine. After her bout of fever, I'll let her try out other things. Basically, I just want to delay her developing a liking for msg, salt and sugar. My elder kid sort of developed it abit early and she wants flavouring in her food almost all the time, and it's usually salty, so I want to be more careful with this one.
ypg,
Ya, I know MT teachers usually have common breaks, but not for EMS teachers. I always thought I'm the only one gulping down lunches within ten mins, until other colleagues were mumbling their grouses. A friend from another school also told me the same thing when she was telling me her complaints,"It's so unhealthy to gulp down our lunch when we are educating our children to eat healthy during Health Ed." Our schools are in the north side. I'm not sure if it's common for the north side schools.
R&R mummy,
Eh, how can you ask such a sensitive question in a forum lah? I'll tell you when we meet in person, ok?
jellypurin,
I remember during the last stage of pregnancy, I threw up gastric juices - very sour. Didn't have appetite but had nausea. Remember to stay away from cold or oily stuff.

Hope bb get well soon.

i feel its part of growing up. me and siblings hv a fair share of being sick when we were young at this age..juz dat we cant remember.
If u were to ask yr caretaker, they will tell u. I was always down with viral fever, febrile seizure and cold, cough.its part of built up of immunity., although the weather these days are horrible. And in these days, we often bring kids to crowded areas which its the best place to be exposed to all kind of germs unlike when we were young.
Personally, this stage will pass. Hang in there, mummies.
Ey rarely gets sick after 2 yo.

XY,
hahahaa, you are really funny.
EY,
True, true! My mother also always tells us that babies always fall sick, me being the sickest of the lot. They always had to rush me to hospital when asthma hit. But I don't remember a single thing about that.
You're right. You make more sense than my friend who said that perhaps nowadays, the environment is too sterile and so babies fall sick more easily.

I dunno what u mean by exposed to other food being related to msg, salt, and sugar.
I dun add msg, salt sugar in aless food. And he doesnt eat outside, apart from homecooked and occasion bottled organic food.
if we can afford to give them more nutritious food, why not? I dun think mummies here are talking abt outside food. can add some veggies, meat, fish to your plain rice. Its good for bb physical development

Thanks. The truth is dat im not closed to the uncle, but i luv the wife very much, she always treats me like a daughter. I want to be there for her when she needs someone.

Rains,
We have to learn to see the up-side to everything. I have learned to be more patient, more accomodating and less demanding. So... try to make light everything. Dun get sooo stressed up.
Try boiling soup/stock for ur little one. Can start giving her stuff like yoghurt, cheese. Slowly explore new food.
Karen,
We all learn to eat faster with bubs. As for the other stuff, i'm doing things at much slower pace.

EY,
Sometimes when you let babies try other kinda food, the food come with stronger tastes. I used to let my elder kid eat grounded ikan bilis, and she grows up having a liking for salty stuff. This is what I meant. I'm not saying that eating a variety of food includes adding in salt, msg and sugar. It's a separate issue that I'm concerned about. Nothing to do with the variety of food.

lilbluey,
Remember last time u ask us to put our name for the Christmas photo taking? Is this the $100 package u talking about? A Dec mum mention it on their thread. I want I want to take.
EY,
Me and my brother are very healthy type, never MC during school days. But for me, everytime I am sick, usually landed in hospital. I was admitted in hospital for accident (knocked by motorbike), impacted teeth, appenditicis, gall stone infection, removal of gallbladder. All big stuff. Haha...
dimpletot, Karen, icylemon,
I want to go for Bodyworld also. Mummy only date right? Though would love to bring my gal to the water play at Science Centre but think the exhibition may be a bit too hard to swallow for our kids.
dimpletot,
I sing badly but I still love karaoke. Haha...
Tweety,
Is this the 1st time u r away from Varner?

<font color="119911">cod liver oil :
i m also thinking abt introducing scott's cod liver oil to Nat early in case she will b turn off by the smell when she gets older.
The min age is 1yo stated on the box. But i haven give her yet, mayb will check with the PD 1st.
marmite/bovril :
what is this? is this gd? I have never take this myself, to me, it looks like loads of chemical/msg/sugar/salt =P
Nanny did say we can add it into Nat's porridge but i refuse coz thinking natural is still the way to go for bbs.</font>

Have you ever felt this way? Just as you are relieved that one year has passed, and you're rid of a particular class that you so detest, you realised you're tasked with teaching this class a mainstream subject and a non-core subject for the next year.
I just came back from a futile work review session (2nd round), and my sup insisted that I took the mid-yr copy of the work review when the info is supposed to be confidential! She asked me to explain why my mid-yr work review is missing from her file if she didn't give it to me! It's not like I could say,"You lost it, that's why. And your comments about me in that work review is not for my eyes, so you couldn't have given it to me!"
She wants me to go back for a 3rd round of the work review tomorrow becos there's this ticking of rating to be done and she 'has to do it with you all over again becos you misplaced the mid-yr copy'.
To top it all off, I'm working with her and another head for curriculum planning next year. My colleague remarked,"You die liao! These two don't do work one. You better prepare to do everything yourself."
That really sucks! My depression is official.
