nicky had a little runny nose on thursday, took medication, then had cough on friday nite...so took him to see dr Tan first thing on saturday morning!
went there at 845am and had to wait for approx.1hr before it's our turn...went mcDonald's for breakie, nicky's 1st try on hotcakes! :) and he seemed to like it... hee...
dr Tan said there is new medicine for nicky boy now cos he is "older" so those at home, gotta put aside for spares... so she prescibed bigger bottles and higher dosage for nicky, poor baby...
and i tot the medicine was very christmas-sy cos of the colors! :) the red & green...
Since i was at there at the PD, decided to clarify some doubts...
- Checked if nicky's stool (kaya-like paste) is normal? she said yes
- When can nicky can start eating Beef? she said anytime now.
- When nicky can start eating eggs? (this is a shocker to me ~ only after he is 1 yr old!)
For pt 1, joelle's nanny was concern if it was due to "wrong milk powder brand" but for dr Tan, she said that if his stool has all along been like this, then there is nothing wrong.
For pt 2, i heard from somewhere that babies shouldn't start eating Beef too young, cos their liver cant digest or something....dr Tan says, not true. So no problem to start now.
For pt 3, cos momiji had immediate allergy when she ate eggs the last time, so i tot i beta check with dr Tan and she said, it's best to start after he is 1 yr old. Didnt ask in detail cos it may be toooo chim for me...so i just left it as that.
Hope this information is useful for you mummies :)
For now, both me and ah dee are down with flu and cough...:(
I read somewhere that it is the egg white that causes allergy....egg yolks are safe. But I think we better pass till they are 1 hor.
ReplyDeleteBTW, you can try blueberries for Nicky. Hailey loves it. Must peel skin.
Rich in Vits!
