Yes I know, it took me so long to get a post out.
Sorry, pretty tied up lately, simply no time to blog and there’s nothing much to blog about anyway.
No no, not FB games but with all the spring cleaning, cookies baking experiments. There's so much to do with so little time.
We did celebrate New Year, over at Eve & WJ's place together with a few close friends.
No cake this time, had enough of it since Christmas and I am conserving my energy for Chinese New Year haha.
Lucas is doing well except for that sickening diarrhea which he had it since 2 week of December last year and it was on off kind of thing and lasted for almost a month long!!
On the first occurrence, after the anti-diarrhea medication, it did help, but came back again after 3 days. The same goes for the 2nd occurrence. I noticed that if he eats too much, he will poo alot and it became diarrhea.
We knew that no FM allow during diarrhea, it's best to take soy milk as it does not contain lactose, so better tolerance for his little stomach as compare to normal formula milk.
But GP also advice that if we don't want to use soy milk, we can actually dilute FM.
However this time round, we decided to put him on soy milk since it's been going on for quite some time. Oh boy, soy milk STINKS! Thank god, my little one still took them as usual.
We went to GP thrice, but it was still the same and he keeps giving him Lacteol Fort (Acidophilus in powder form).
Finally we brought him to PD, upon hearing the whole situation, she pointed out that we shouldn't do an immediate switch of diet once we see that Lucas's poo is back to normal.
In fact, we should switch it back slowly. Since he's on soy milk, we should slowly change it back to FM by introducing 1 feed each day and increase it as days goes by making sure the poo is consistent.
Do not give him too oily & rich food, no roots vegetables & fruit juice (as they have a higher sugar content which is currently intolerable)
After all these tips, Lucas finally recovered.
Now I am struggling to pile up his weight. He looks like a miserable tiny baby. He eats as usual even during days when he is not feeling well. Yet his weight seems to take forever to increase.
Not too sure where went wrong, Diet? Too active? Still not eating enough?
I am still sourcing help and advices and hopefully he can grow up stronger and BIGGER!!
We will be busy again for the next few weeks.
This weekend we will be travelling to Port Klang to attend my cousin's wedding. I am looking forward and getting excited because we are travelling together with extended family members as well!!!
After that we will be back to our CNY madness of cleaning, baking, cooking & SHOPPING!!!
