A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
When there is no foul smell in Baby C’s soiled diaper each time I smell it, When Baby C’s pee does not look yellowish on her diaper, When our doctor tells us that Baby C’s condition is under control, When I see that Baby C’s pee is clear in the specimen bottle, When I see…
I mentioned earlier that I will blog about Baby C’s daily feeding schedule. Well here goes : My day with Baby C starts at around 8-8:30am. When Baby C wakes up, I will feed her 2.5ml of Bio-Strath, mixed with apple and cranberry juice. I used to give her organic pure Cranberry juice but it’s so terribly sour that…
What and who prompted me to write this post is my good friend, Miche. I was just Google chatting with her and she was telling me that her morning sickness for this pregnancy is terrible. She thought this would be an easy pregnancy too as she did not suffer from any morning sickness during her…
As Baby C is still exclusively breastfed, I try to include as much DHA and Omega 3 rich food in my diet everyday. I pop 1-2 fish oil capsules a day, eat an Omega enriched egg or free-range chicken egg a day, try to eat fish as often as I can, eat flaxseed powder and eat a…
Whilst I was waiting to see Baby C’s pediatric surgeon yesterday, I saw a mother sitting on a wheelchair, also waiting outside our doctor’s office. On her lap was her 5-year old son, with a urine bag attached to his bottom, hanging on the wheelchair. When the lady saw me and Baby C, she smiled at me and…

Looking at the report, which states that there is a scanty growth of E Coli bacteria and a WBC (white blood cells) of…
Though I have 3 kids, it was only after I had Baby C that I found out that when a baby hiccups, this means that a poo poo is bound to follow suit. It was my confinement lady who told me this. I didn’t believe her but now, I swear by this cue. Each time…
The report for the urine culture done on Friday was out on Monday. The WBC (white blood cells) have come down from 10-15 to 2-4. Also, the Klabsiella bacteria is no longer in the urine… praise the Lord! But there is still a scanty growth of E Coli bacteria in the urine… which both our nephrologist and pediatric…
Who? Me of course! I love anything that’s healthy and wholesome. I love anything that has sesame seeds or sesame seed oil in them. I especially love to sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds on my food – on my bowl of sugar-free yoghurt for breakfast, together with walnuts (a brain nourishing food) and other seeds and…
We bought a new water filter 2 weeks ago after I caught our maid putting un-boiled filtered tap water into our kettle used to store drinking water. One of the reasons that could have contributed to the E Coli bacteria entering Baby C’s body system, causing her frequent UTIs is through drinking water. E Coli…
