On our way home after lunch on a hot afternoon, my 3 girls dozed off in the car. The moment I placed Baby on the bed when we reached home, she shrieked! So I figured she needed my boop or someone to hug and that’s what I gave her:
My big big huggable bolster with her hands and legs wrapped round it lol! And it worked…. she felt so comfy, did not utter a sound and continued to sleep until this clean freak mummy wiped her face and hands with a wet hanky. I can’t stand my kids sleeping on the bed right after they are back from an outing coz they sit everywhere and touch everything when they are outside.
For the past 3 days, Baby seems to have lost interest in her food. She seems to feel full whenever she’s spoon-fed with Pediasure in the morning. For 2 mornings straight, she puked her milk out when I was finished feeding her! Toddlers her age should be drinking about 8 ounces of milk during each feed but she’s only drinking 3-4 ounces each feed, twice a day. She used to be able to drink 3-4 ounces of Pediasure in the morning, together with 1/2 an egg yolk with butter, some biscuits or bread and about 10ml of orange-flavored Scotts Emulsion cod liver oil (which she actually likes). But these few days, she seems to hate everything that she’s been eating or drinking EXCEPT for mummy’s milkie!! I am really amazed how she can still suckle and suckle my tits like she’s really famished right after her lunch or dinner!
This is one of Baby’s favorite food now :
Heinz iron-enriched ABCs, 123s pasta with homecooked spagheti sauce and minced meat, with a little sprinkle of ground mozarella cheese and ground raw almond for that extra protein. I guess she likes it because of the mozarella cheese, which is a tad salty.
But I know that if she’s fed with this pasta 2 days in a row, she’ll puke at the sight of it on the 3rd day! This little fler wants OUR food, food that tastes good and is salty! And she likes to taste something different everyday.  And oh yes, yesterday after painfully eating half her bowl of green tea noodles with fish, brocolli and soup, her eyes beamed when I gave her 1/4 slice of walnut wholemeal bread. That’s it, I told my maid not to cook anything for Baby to eat today. Just feed her with soup (which thankfully is her all-time favorite) and bread – twice a day! Her eating habit is looking more and more like Sherilyn’s, oh gawd!

maybe u can start getting her a small bolster oredi
Try to let her use a straw to drink milk and must be a brand new milk. She may like it
Oh gosh, we are so alike… the clean freak part. If Chloe happens to be sleeping on our way home from somewhere, I’ll wake her up to bathe and change into clean clothes 1st no matter what… cleanliness is more important than sleeping hehe..
haha…what a cute picture.. the bolster looked so much bigger than her.. but as long as she is comfortable, that is what counts!! 🙂 about her food diet, not sure i can help..my kids during this age ate porridge i cook for them.. varieties of this and that.. meat, ikan bilis, fish, spinach, carrot, all chinese style.. it varies each day…
poor you…have to crack your head on what to cook for cassandra since she seems to be easily bored with food.
eh, if Cassadra can fall asleep with your boops in the car, maybe she can actually sleep without them at nite 🙂 once she’s asleep, give her your bolster and see how…hehehehee
What a cutie!!
Don’t worry abt her diet..just give her healthy choices(which u definitely do!). Kids will NEVER starve themselves..they’ll eat when hungry. Kids grow thru growth spurts too and that’s when the appetite increases. C may be teething, so she may not feel like eating. Don’t worry abt milk..she will get the calcium and protein from other sources esp. boobies. Kudos to u for continuing to breast feed!
I went thru this before…went crying to the doc that my 6mth old son wouldn’t take apple juice even tho the “book” says he should. He calmed me down right away..let the kid eat what he chooses just as long as u can give him healthy choices. Growing up he was always a scawny one among the non-Asian friends, now he towers over them!
Of course when she sees everybody eating yummy adult food, she also wants lah….
she is soo cute!
sigh…mine not eating well too. the boys can go without food just for one day. milk also miserably 2oz pediasure for korkor and only bm for didi.
same case here too…pediasure max 4.5oz twice a day (eh, mine is 2yr old de, lagi teruk compare to ur Baby C leh), if lucky, can feed 3x lah… always eyeing on our ‘salty’ food also. pening kepala oredi.
