dear babytang and nkkcal,
thanks a lot for all your idea, i found that i am not alone on this problem to be tackled (common problem for those 2-3 year olds?)
in fact,小麥子doesn't have any `snack' at all.
7am 1 bottle of milk (with ling-chi powder inside) (this morning takes 30 min for it)
830am bread with tuna or jam or cheese (taking 1 hr for this, or refuse at all); or water with biscuit (taking 5 min to finish); or noodles (taking 45 min to finish half).
sleeping from 1030am to 1130am.
12am lunch of rice (with omega added ) and vege (usu spit out) and meat (just a bit) and soup, taking 45 min to finish 2/3, or refuse, and fish oil 1 tbsp.
school from 1-3pm this week. next week onwards it becomes 1-4pm. he doesn't take any snack at school at all (inc cake and bread, he just takes a bit biscuit if they provide that day. about 2 times in 1 week)
4pm 2/3 bottle of milk
630pm dinner of soup and rice with veg and meat/fish etc. quite slowly but fair amount taken (taking 45 min to finish 2/3)
8pm half bowl of draggon fruit/kiwi fruit and water. he refuses all other types inc papaya, bannana, oranges, grapes, etc. 6 months ago he was still enjoying the juice but now he refuese all kinds of juice.
845pm 1 bottle of milk
sleep from 930pm till 7am next morning.
he is not having any weight gain for 5 months already.
i wish if he has some good friends to eat together, but he does have. where are you living and where studying, dear wingfung and max? nearby? i would like to join if there is any gathering in future, so that the kids can have some good friends and models to learn from. we are staying at kowloon tong region, and studying at HKPS (KlnTong樂基) .
the precious nursery is okay, but i believe in Doman's thinking and wish to give him a mandarin & english language environment as early as possible. also the currrent school is good at planning the parents/kids for going to primary sch.
littlemak,
5 months hasn't gained weight is not a very very big deal, according to my memory, 小麥子 is quite heavy, above 34 pounds ! Many april kids have not reach this weight yet.
From you daily plan, I can see that 小麥子 is still taking afternoon milk after school. My suggestion is to drop this milk, then he will be more hungry for the dinner.
Wing Fung does not eat any afternoon tea for about 4 months (even biscuits) before going to school, when I noticed that he is not interested to eat at the dinner time. Of course, now at school, he eats afternoon tea, I even give him 1/4 piece of sandwiches with jam and juice when I pick him up after school. Because, he is very energetic at school.
Breakfast, I suggest you give him milk and bread eat together, just like adult, you cannot eat hugh amount of food la after drinking a whole cup of milk.
Educate 小麥子 to show whether his stomach is full or not, do not push him to eat even he is full.
I am not living in Kln tong, but near, about 15 min travel time. I am not that rich lou.
Wing Fung is studying at 九龍靈糧堂, let you know when we have gathering next time la...
lala,
i saw one shop where is next to chicco in cityplaza (taikooshing) selling beautiful dresses, i can't recall the name, but not cheap even on sale at 50% off, at least $500+
littlemak,
i want to boost up geralyn's immunity too, i heard of Colostrum & Sambucol are good, may i ask yr hubby's professional knowledge in which one is better? or what's his own suggestion?
nkkcal,
i was thinking what should i give geralyn to drink coz recently she refuses to drink water since i swap her bottle to cup, u just give me alot of good idea of home-made fruit juice, but can our toddler not drink any water instead of fruit juice, soup.... ?-(
babytang,
max is much better than what i saw him before, he's taller and bigger now! sure u pay alot of effort on him, ya? so u got more free time now to take care of yr gal when max is in school, rite?
dear babytang,
小麥子 is 35 lbs but also tall (4 months ago the record was 92 cm with 16 kg), so not really fat.
also, tonight i tried making him tired and hungry after going to toyrus at festival walk for 2 hours, then he finished the whole bottle of milk within 5 minutes. hip-hip-hurray ! thanks for all your good idea!
dear CeCe,
just asked 小麥夫, he said these two med were seldom prescribed in hk, and little info about them. Any formal registered name (rather than generic names?)
he suggested better to see a doctor as not only one med name can solve your problem, follow up and adjusting the dosage are same impt.
also, it's not that good to have just juice and soup and no water at all whole day, as sugar level remains high in oral cavity, and tooth decay chance higher. however, just as a transient period is understood.
fyi.
dear nkkcal,
ha ha, what a coincidence !
something good for wingfung then, give it to you next time (when see you at the gathering if possible), which might be useful for him.
pls check PM.
