A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
SOS, my hair has been shedding so much for the past 2-3 months, I think I am going to go bald soon! People say that a mother’s hair will shed more once baby is around 6 months old. Yup, it did happen to me for a short period of time and then everything was fine,…
I bought a box of iron-enriched Heinz ABCs, 123s Pasta from Babyland @ SS2 PJ for Baby C the other day. Here’s one of the ways I cooked it: Boil the pasta al dente, steam a slice of seabass fish with spinach, red dates and a drizzle of sesame seed oil and served with a…

I used to feed her with Millenium…
I had Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Trigger Thumb (or Trigger Finger) about a month after I had given birth to my first child, Alycia about 6 years ago. The pain and weakness on my right hand were so bad that I could not even hold a milk bottle or open the door. I really felt…
This is another of Baby’s favorite meal – organic veggie pasta with steamed fish and broccoli in beet root-carrot-sweet corn-pork ribs soup.

When I first gave Baby a wedge of lemon to lick on several months ago, I was amazed that she did not push the sour lemon away or quiver her little body in response to the terribly sour lemon. Instead, she reached out her hands towards the wedge of lemon that I was holding and…
