Confinement Beverages You Can Enjoy
If you are going through the traditional Chinese confinement period, you will not be allowed to drink plain water as it is a traditional belief that it will promote “wind” due to bloating from water retention. Most mothers end up having to drink Dried Longan and Red Date Tea but there are other alternatives to spice up your beverage menu during this period which lasts from 1-2 months.
Here are the recipes for some drinks you might want to consider, as well as the recipe for the common Dried Longan and Red Date Tea.
Fried Rice Tea
Toast 500g to 1kg of rice grains (uncooked) in a dry wok over low heat until it is dark brown. Store the fried grains in a container that is airtight. As and when you want to brew the tea, scoop out a handful of this rice into a mug and steep it in boiling hot water for a while before you drink it. It is a fragrant brew that is not only easy to prepare but also very nutritious.
Ginger Juice
Ginger is the best remedy for “wind” in the body and very warming. It helps to improve one’s appetite as well. If you feel that there is a lot of “wind” present in your body, you should drink this once every 2 or 3 days. If not, you just need to consume this at least once or twice during the confinement period.
What you will need is 120g of ginger. Peel them and slice them up. Put them in a juice extractor and warm this juice over a small fire. Drink this warm and you can alternate between this and the other teas.
Milo Halia
Dried Ginger Juice can be overpowering in taste for some people. One way to help make it easier to consume is to mix it to hot cup of Milo. This can be drunk once or twice a day.
Red and Black Date Tea
You will need red dates and black dates for this brew- 30 each and pitted. Add this and 100g of rock sugar into 2 litres of water. Simmer over low heat for between 1 to 2 hours. As with all the drinks, it is best consumed warm and is a substitute for water. You dont’t have to consume the dates within the drink.
Dried Longan and Red Date Tea
This is the most common of all confinement drinks. Dried longan is “warm” and very beneficial for the heart and kidneys. You can also consume this if you are anaemic. You will need 50 pitted dried red dates, 2 litres of water, 100g of rock sugar and 100g of dried longan that has been washed and drained. Just like the Red and Black Date Tea, you will need to simmer this brew for about 1-2 hours over a small fire and consume it whilst it is warm.

Sighh.. Wanna ask u ladies.. U all will get v temperamental anot ar? I am leh.. Recently .. Sigh. N if Jav does sth wrong I will scold him... Sigh. I'm thinking if I'm too harsh on him anot.. A lil boy who is only going to turn 18mths in this mth... Wads yr opinions.. #2 mummies? Mmm, we were taught.. Lesser freedom to more freedom as the child grows.. So by right shud b more firm in younger age den older.. But jus wanna hear u mummies' opinions.. Since I see alot of close age gap w Jav... He's been a lil difficult recently, keep throwing tantrums.. Even each time I wanna change his diapers or bathe him, or when he doesn't get sth n he loves throwing things. Anyone help help? ... TIA. I was so angry w him jus nw tt I told him I dowan him but wan didi alrdy.. N he actually looked at my tummy n cried. Sighh. Am I v evil??

lilprecious: Spare the rod and spoil the child. I dont think u are being too harsh, but prolly try not to say things u dont mean or things like loving the didi more even though u are very angry. Becox children too young to understand what are words of anger, they will misunderstand and then end up get more upset and throw more tantrums. Try what I always do, whenever I get upset, I will close my eyes, den count 1-10 with my fingers, calms u down. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

now jav is moving towards the assertive period, of coz alot of things dont want this, dont want that
its very normal leh. coz its their newfound independence.
it depends on what your boy buys.
fierce?
caning?
reasoning?
let him throw his temper?
my boy at 18mths couldnt take reasoning so i let him throw his tantrum then after he finish liao i will tell him firmly xxx, yyy, zzz
then he will do...coz he knows he cannot bargain with me. coz i will not budge n give in
alot of ways to go around his "no!s".
can use the count 1-10
or the 5-3-1mins in advance notification to jav
or use "you must do xxx, then we can do yyy" (meaning telling him to do what you want him to do, then he gets a fun activity afterwards)
or jus pure distraction
many more, i forgot liao. i refer to my notebook later and perhaps explain in a longer post yah

nevermind lah, at some point in your life of being a parent, inevitable that you said something that will hurt your child...

perhaps facing his many tantrums in a day really wear u down. my boy is a very mild boy (in terms of temper), i end of the day oso started to raise my voice liao
console yourself: its a good time to let you #2 "hear" how fierce you can be....muahahahah

Milktea: my Previous Cl also from agency... I remember she fried the rice with Ginger then she store in container... Then pour hot water... I alternate with red dates tea... That one drink 28 days is quite sian lor
Limlim: the jap roasted tea nice leh! But I m not sure can drink or not... Contains tea right?
Lilprecious: I dunno u believe or not... They say when u Pregnant with #2, #1 will know and jealous so be one very naughty...
I also got times I got so pissed off with him and shouted at him...cos he like jav refused to do all things lor...
But then I feel so guilty after that cos he is only 2 years old..
So now when he throw tantrums I just take a deep breathe and let him be... After awhile then I pacify him and talk to him... Don't think he understands but it make me feel better.
There was a period I used naughty corner but he cried even harder so I guess it's not the time now...
Now jav approaching terrible twos, so all patterns will come out... Bear with it, be patient and things will turn out better...

lilprecious, I was in a similar situation a while ago. My hub's on reservist, i'm home only with my gal for the past few days. She's been really sticky, I could hardly go to the toilet or even have some snacks to munch. I showered with her in the toilet and she was pressing her face against the shower screen. Kept calling 'mummy'. Once I was out, yet to even dry myself, she went 'bao bao'. I was like, give me a break, and then I shouted at her. Scolded her for always wanting to be carried. Yes, kinda guilty too...
I was tempted to use 'didi' as a threat too, but reminded myself not to compare. In case it becomes a habit. I dun think they will like to be compared. Perhaps they're really approaching terrible 2? I read it could be earlier. Jav is turning 2 this year right? My gal too. Her tanturms has been quite bad.
My only salvage was when my hub came back, he took over while I took a break. I tried being really patient with her becos she's been through a bad week, entered a new class with new environment, she's been crying badly every morning i send her to school. Heart sinks whenever I leave the school...
long post, but i wana rant too... haha.

Oh yes, I punish her with 'time out' too, i.e naughty corner facing the wall. Only if she really got out of hand like tanturms by throwing food or toys on the floor. But for being so sticky to me, I won't send her there la. Not a mischevious act ma...
hmm ya, i must agree, taking deep breaths and counting helps, after all they don't mean to make us angry la...

2Ks: Ya.. I believe.. Haha.. But jus I don believe y I did all these unreasonable things today.. Hee. Ya, I agree la.. Sometimes I look at him, feel he's still so young.. Only coming 18mths.. Y I expect so much frm him.. =\ ehh, notti corner I gt use also.. But nt too often if nt he's nt afraid of it anymore... When I ask him go stand he'll cry n aft awhile he'll come back to me.. I'll explain n den hug him .. N tell him nt to do it again.. But of cos, it does repeat.. But notti corner I only use when I'm v upset... So u see, when I'm extremely upset, most most, notti corner or will piak on palm or thighs but only 2 times most. Tts y I say today I like crazy.. Haha. Scolding n scolding... Ya, agree mus calm myself dwn so things will look n feel better fr both me n him.. Hee..
Pixie: Haha, yr eyeball n stern look sounds funny.. I'll do tt too but Jav feels I look funny I think n he'll burst out laughing.. =.=

Lilprecious, don't be too hard on yourself! As educators, even though we know strategies n theories, that doesn't mean we can be perfect. There will definitely be times where u lose your cool n stuffs. As a parent, you tend to be more emo coz it's your own child. We are all humans. Just be aware and move on. I'm sure Jav won't remember it. =)

Chen: yea... I und hw u feel.. Being alone to cope w a sticky n terrible 2s child ain't a joke man. I'm w him at hm whole day every 2 days.. Sometimes I feel I'll go mad. Cos it's at hm whole day w his same old toys for him.. N w a lazy mummy who tends to use lappie thou I still play puzzles n such w him. But nt lasting cos he actually gets bored too. Tts y I mus bring him out when my hb's at hm.. At least he goes out w things to see, I get to shop arnd too. Nt so pek chek.. I dono y, but I see it as a better move for him to b in sch.. At least, he learns things n get to play n socialize.. Won't b tt boring to stay hm only half a day.. =P my hb will play w him while I'm hm too.. But u Noe men, sometimes do things here half dere half.. So I'm always dere to clear up or help. Guess mayb it's time fr me to relax 1 day w/o Jav!! Haha..
2Ks: yup, I think cos we spend more time w them, thus will discipline more n tts y they feel we're more fierce den daddies. Imagine he don get to see my hb like 3 times a wk.. So he will actually stick to him when he's at hm, knowing tt my hb will play w him more den me. I tend to b more relaxed when I'm w my hb.. Cos at least I get to haf my meal properly, bathe n do things. W him, I can't even haf proper meal or go toilet like chen! =\ so I always wait till he slps lo. I find it true la.. No point getting myself so upset when I know he don't really und tt much n forgets all the episodes on awhile! =P

So he will actually stick to him when he's at hm, knowing tt my hb will play w him more den me. I tend to b more relaxed when I'm w my hb.. Cos at least I get to haf my meal properly, bathe n do things. W him, I can't even haf proper meal or go toilet like chen! =\ so I always wait till he slps lo. I find it true la.. No point getting myself so upset when I know he don't really und tt much n forgets all the episodes on awhile! =P

Ladies , I just Saw my Gynae . Bb is 1.7kg at 31 weeks . He says it is a good weight .
Lilprecious- dun worry, just rant off here ba.. Sometimes looking at my niece so naughty I also buay tahan.. Must agreed, being at home with a child 24/7 really test e xaregiver's patience sia.. That's why I respect my mum cos she takes care of 2 below 3yos de 24/7 mon- fri.. Understand why sometimes she can b so hot-tempered with them..
Think quite true that somehow #1 when sense that #2 coming, they will be a lil more possessive n even naughty.. Cos all they want is ur undivided attention ma.. My niece took quite sometimes to adapt that now didi needs ah ma n mummy more than her cos didi only 8 mths.. She used to be a terror where mummy n ah ma carry didi, she will like jealous.. Now better, will still Help ah ma take care of didi..
Dun worry, since jav gg cc, it gives u a lil breather n also him an opp to socialise w others.. Things wil def be better de!
