I cn understd wat u mean when R scream in protest against med ! i alw alone at hm, so i had to devise a strategy to dose my girl . hehe, i cut n paste frm my blog:
Step 0: Put her into her combi hi chair and lower the back rest so that she's reclining but not totally flat down.
Step 1: Get ready HT teddy biscuit and give her a small bite to get her smiling and in a good mood. Put balance biscuit in a bowl.
Step 2: Get ready syringes with diff medication on standby.
Step 3: Take first syringe behind my back (so she can't see it) and use other hand to take biscuit.
Step 4: offer her the biscuit. When she opens her mouth quickly move the syringe which is in my other hand towards her mouth and inject the med in.
Step 5: pop a little biscuit into her mouth to kill taste of med in her mouth
Step 6 : Repeat the above

i also use the pigeon aspirator, but my boy refused to let me suck for him. He can be very violent and he is now very strong. When i feed him medicine, i also use the same technique as urs, i distrace him with biscuits.
bless
hey u can post! cool. ur colleg bought u lots of jibitz, now u can change a different one every time u wear it. then it will be a fresh new look! I also have a few jibitz to change for R's shoes. Now he is a bit better, can breathe properly, but when he cough, i still can hear a lot of phlegm stuck in his airway. poor thing. But he these days very notti, even refused to eat his porridge and especially cranky and temperemental, but i put up with it since he is unwell.

r also dun wan to eat mee sua leh. now he only likes fruity rice cereal. SO i blend apple or avo or pear or banana and mix it with cereal lor. But he cannot be eating it every meal right? then he become vegetarian laio! any suggestions wat to cook for him?
i also realised the jibitz wld leave a mark if u take it out, so i just change the design, but its always the same hole of the shoe.
Is jovan so cranky too when he is sick? these days R's crankiness is driving me NUTS!

Hello mummies
Seemed like alot of babies are falling sick.... Hope all the babies get well soon and mummies take care too
My boy kenna the HFMD on last fri. Running a high fever and ulcers all over his mouth. Not able to drink nor eat. Keep throwing temper at me, himself and the ulcers. Keeping telling the ulcers to go away and want me to take out his ulcers..... poor boy....
And my girl also got it on Mon and having high fever and the worst thing is when I brought her to see GP, GP suspect her heart got problem 'cos her heartbeat abit abnormal and ask us to bring her to see PD once she recovers from her HFMD.... sigh
Yesterday there is a big ulcer infront of her tongue and she totally refused to eat nor drink. I'm worried that she will get dehydrated so no choice hv to force her to drink. She cry and screamed so badly and really struggle very hard to fight with us so I think it must be really very very painful for her to swallow the water. Now she got phobia leh... once she saw the bottle, bowl, spoon etc, she started to scream and run away. Basically she did not eat nor drink anything for the whole yesterday except those few spoon of milk which I forced them into her mouth. Today she is much better but still refused food and milk but at least willing to drink water from her water bottle, wat a relief for me.... but I realised there is alot of small blisters around her bum which is itchy for her and she keeps scatching them. Hope she will recovered soon....
I'm dead tired with 2 cranky kids.....
Irene, I think I saw u yesterday during lunch time. U r crossing the road to BHG right?? Couldn't go up to u to say hi 'cos I was at the other junction walking back to office. Hope to meet up with u again someother days........
Aiyo... irene u sala, mist is staying one floor below me lah.... Ya lor, i still hv not meet up with mist yet. Maybe we can arrange one day to meet up together at the senior citizen corner...

Esther, bless & Irene, tks. My boy has 80% recovered now but my girl still struggling with her painful ulcers which I think will only go away in another 2 days time. Yup, my boy got it from his school and spread to my girl which I hv expected 'cos they r too closed together. Sleep, eat, bath and play together every day....
It very heartpain to c her crying and screaming so hard 'cos her mouth is pain. She stick to me like a kola bear now and keeping crying for nothing and refused to sleep at nite, just want to be carry for the whole nite. Just hope that she will be back to normal soon
mummy2: The did u took leave to look after them? Very tiring to go to work everyday without much sleep.
Esther: I called u on ur hp but guess u r bz. I think mashed potatoe can be done quite simple. Steam mash poatoes till soft or u wanna use the food blender for faster results then add some butter to it for tasting. Or u can steam sweet potatoe let him eat. Very nice too. Of cos u must eat with him cos kids see us adults eat ma chiam very nice so he will eat as well i guess. Hee, ur HP last 4 digit is my office extension! Haaa!

really sad to hear both ur kids are dwn with hfmd. hope they get well soon .. hv u tried giving ur girl the delrosa / gripe water? hopefully sthg sweetist may be more palatable for her ? did doc say hw long before they can stop quarantine?
bless
haha, think u salah liao .. jang not refering to my cake la .. wahaha... she's refering to my girl's birthday cake =P Her birthday was 2 mths ago. so u must check the older blogposts. hehe
ester
hw abt changg the menu for this week? mayb r's curiousity on the new taste will trigger him to eat more? does he like pasta? i make pasta with cheese + zuchini n tomato n my girl likes it. hw abt lentils? i personally dont like it *blech* but my girl likes it =P. i think when kids are ill, they like thgs that r more 'tasty' (cn be more saltish/ sweeter) becos their taste buds more bland during this tm. Cn also add wolfberry to make ur porridge sweeter.

Mink, we tried all we can think of and even her favourite cold Soya Bean pkt drink but no used. Once she tasted it and feel the pain, she will started to cry and reject them totally. Now I give up lao.... just let it be.
Don't need to separate both of them since both already got it but need to quarantine both at home so that they don't pass it to other kids.

sorry to hear abt jerald... Several times i wanted to take isabelle to KKH too so i understand ur anxiety... Take care yah...
PD fees
yep yep PD fees r indeed ex!
For isabelle's constipation pblm, I spent more than 200 bucks seeing 3 PDs...a lot of money too. Saw 3 diff PDS. All said no need to chnage my goat's milk powder. But guess what?
After i switched to cow's milk her constipation pblm is gone!!! Yay! But haiz... shld have done that earlier but din realise the milk powder is the cause until FIL suggested. That wld have saved her much trauma and me alot of money!!!
Feeding Medicine
Isabelle hated the syringe. She wld scream and cry but after we put the medicine directly into her feeding spoon she thot it was food and happily ate it up. Now we have no pblms feeding her medicine. Mebbe mummies can give it a try?

hey hey girl! ya indeed goat milk is heaty, though its very nuitritious. Last time when my brother was a lil baby, he was very underweight, then my mum switched him to goat milk, and goodness, he balloned till he was so chubby..
Re feed medicine
i also wanted to try using spoon, but i very KS, want to be accurate on the amount la, haha.. so use syringe instead of spoon.
mink
i gave R the new recipe and he didnt like it too! sigh, i tasted it and found it quite tasty leh, argh.. Tomolo gonna try something new again. I realised he like food that is sweet, he has a sweet tooth! He doesnt like savoury food that much. Perhaps i shld just lace his porridge with apple, so its sweet and covers whatever taste in the food. Yep, tomolo gonna try it

we actually used the syringe to measure first then squirt it out onto the spoon.
yah, i din know that goat's milk can be heaty before this. Now i know all those ang moh websites cannot believe. I actually tried to check it out and they all said goat's milk supposed to help with constipation, and PDs also said no need to change, it's the calcium blah blah blah... MY FOOT!

the goat's milk was really very 'powderful'. Even those medication the PD gave to soften stools and prune juice didn't help. Somemore my girl is a veggie and fruit lover. The milk powder slowed down her digestive system so much she only poo-ed once in 3 to 4 days. That made the stools very hard.
But now with the cow's milk, she can do onnce every 2, 3 days and it has softened so much i told my mum and maid to stop the PD medication and prune juice yesterday and see how...
As for me, I kenna gastric flu and was on mc yest and today... So suay...
clarissa
cos i thot goat's milk is easier to digest and causes fewer allergies mah. All that hype. haiz. Anyway the organic cow's milk that i use now is in fact cheaper than the silly goat's milk! What an irony...
And hmm... she seems to think that taking medication is fun. Weird but mebbe cos medicine for kids is sweet? I'm not sure either...

ya we did finger-painting today, and he loved it. The paints are the crayola washable non-toxic kind. I got this idea when i attended the Julia gabriels playgroup. apparently finger painting stimulates their imagination and creativity. Aiyah, as long as they have fun in a safe way , im on for it!
