A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
I’ve heard about the BRAT diet for vomiting toddlers but I can’t remember what they are. When Sherilyn vomited 5 times several days ago after she overate some ramen and udon noodles at the Japanese restaurant the night before, I surfed the internet to check what the BRAT diet is. Just before surfing the internet,…
Baby C loves tofu and I am surprised that she does coz tofu is quite a bland tasting food and my 2 older gals don’t really like it. I normally just steam the tofu plain and scoop out a small portion for her. I am glad she loves tofu coz tofu is rich in calcium and…
Last night, Daddy brought Alycia and Sherilyn to the Japanese restaurant at our condo for dinner. I stayed home with Baby C as she was super cranky yesterday due to another UTI attack. They had dinner at around 9pm. According to daddy, Sherilyn stuffed herself full with lots of udon and ramen. This brat of mine…
It’s a monthly affair. I think Baby C has another UTI. The urine FEME test today showed that there are WBC (white blood cells) and RBC (red blood cells) in the urine, which suggest bacteria in the urine. Once the urine C&S report is out in 3 days’ time, we will know what bacteria is…
I bought these Heinz juices for Baby C but to my disappointment, she didn’t like them a wee bit. I guess she hated it because I fed the juice to her together with her antibiotics. Anything that goes with the meds I suppose wouldn’t taste good, right? I still have an unopened bottle. Next time…
I am still feeling a tad sluggish today, since yesterday. I am quite definite all my symptoms are stress related – the headache, the nausea, gassy and bloated tummy, feeling lethargic (lack of sleep coz I keep pulling myself up from bed twice a night to change Baby C’s diapers) and feeling really crabby. Don’t know why…
When Baby C kept rejecting baby cereals, my mum cooked her some porridge. To our surprise, she loves porridge to bits. She has been eating homemade porridge for the past 2 weeks and I am really glad and relieved that I’ve found something that she really likes to eat. So what am I going to…
Ever since Baby C started to eat porridge, she has not been able to do her poopie business everyday. Instead, she would only poo poo every other day. Last week, she could not poo poo for 3 days. On the 2nd day, she was feeling the effects of the constipation and was fussing the whole…
The other day, I bought a cup of organic tau foo far (soy bean curd) without any sugar/syrup after my morning jogging session. This is how I ate the tau foo far for my breakfast : I added a teaspoon of Milo and threw in a handful of organic pumpkin seeds and walnuts. When Sherilyn…
I think Alycia most likely had indigestion (a result of over-eating, mostly junk food) coz she did not purge and she stopped puking today. I’ve not given her any milk since last night until this morning and I think I will skip milk for her for the rest of today. It’s best is to let her…
