A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Today is the 5th day that my poor baby has not eaten any solid or semi-solid food. Some of the things that have been going into her tummy via her mouth are Vitamin C syrup, paracetamol syrup, anti bladder spasm meds, some breast milk, Cactus juice and water. That’s about it and my poor baby…
When Baby C puked non-stop, well, like every half-hourly, though in small amounts, our doctor inserted a nasal gastric tube through her nostrils. The tube goes into her tummy. Our doctor then aspirated the gas out from her tummy through the tube. Each time she felt like puking, the nurse would aspirate out the gas…
This is how my poor baby looked like yesterday… with tubes everywhere on her body – 4 tubes coming out from her tummy, one on her hand for the IV and one nasal gastric tube on her nose that gets connected to a bottle. My little trooper kept moving about and the bunch of tubes…
I bought a bottle of organic dried seaweed, grains and mixed vegetables from the organic shop the other day. I meant to buy it for Baby C, to sprinkle them on her porridge. On reading the label, I decided not to give it to her as it contains organic raw sugar and organic sea salt. The…
We were informed by our pediatric surgeon that he needs to perform a procedure called cystoscopy on Baby C on the day of the surgery. That procedure is required in order for the surgeon to properly diagnose where the problem is before he performs the ureter reimplantation surgery. I did a google search on cystoscopy…
I double boiled some beet root + chicken soup for Baby C the other day. She loved the soup to bits. Here’s her colorful dinner: Porridge with purple sweet potato, pumpkin, organic purple cabbage, fish, pork and garlic; beet root soup and E.Excel’s Nutrifresh. Double boiled organic beet root with chicken breast soup. The soup…
This is the organic blueberry yoghurt that I bought for Baby C. It’s a tad sour and my sweetie-pie didn’t like it. I had to put some homemade pineapple jam to sweeten the yoghurt. But I really like this yoghurt, especially the mango flavored one. This yoghurt is really smooth and has generous amount of…
This is Baby C’s breakfast today: Freshly squeezed orange juice, Millenium cactus juice with probiotics, organic blueberry yoghurt, hard-boiled egg yolk mashed with avocado, some crushed Pureen baby biscuits and a dollop of unsalted butter. I find that the organic blueberry yoghurt by Lean Food (made in Australia) a tad sour for Baby C’s liking….
Our appointment with the new pediatric surgeon (who was referred to us by a pediatric surgeon in London) went well. This surgeon seemed very thorough, patient, confident and assuring. After a lengthy discussion, we were given a date for Baby C’s surgery. We will have to check into the hospital on the 4th of May,…
Baby C has started to lose interest in her porridge for the past few days. It would be a struggle for me to finish off feeding her the bowl of porridge and it normally takes at least an hour for her to finish her bowl of porridge and her bowl of soup. The easiest way…
