All About Bryan and Dylan

I have not heard of any complaints from Bryan’s teachers at school when it comes to meals. But at home, getting him to finish his meals on the dining table is a big challenge.
So I tried to vary the food that we offer to him and at the same time try to make his food [...]

After my success with the ABC pasta chicken stew, next up – Claypot chicken rice. WhoIsBaby posted a easy to follow chicken rice recipe and I decided to try that.
I followed her steps with the following variation.
1. I added sesame oil and more dark soy sauce to my chicken marinade
2. I added sesame oil, a few [...]

Bryan gets wholesome home cooked meals whenever he is at my mother’s place during the workday. But during the weekend, he eats whatever we eat, and in most case may not be the healthiest choices for a toddler.
So lately, after a long break, I decided to make sure that he gets at least 1 homecooked [...]

We went to Sakae Sushi last Sunday and Bryan had his first Japanese food meal. He has been to Japanese restaurants with us but we were just feeding him morsels of food, hardly what I would call a meal. Besides, in his previous visit, I always feed him his proper meal before we go to [...]

Mothers are happiest to see their babies eating well. As I have mentioned in my previous post, I am so happy to see that Bryan’s appetite has fully returned.
And to add to my happiness, he is now taking “adult” food pretty well and is quite capable of feeding himself unassisted (most of time).

The photos were [...]

Miche once commented that “mothers sakit hati when their babies wouldn’t eat.”
I couldn’t agree more.
During the first 2 days when Bryan was hospitalized for Cosackie, he had trouble drinking and eating because of the throat ulcers. However, we still tried our best to persuade him to take his food & water, albeit a few [...]

I have been starting to introduce Bryan to “whole” foods. Maybe i am using the wrong term here, but i am referring to food that are not mashed up and mixed alltogether in porridge or pasta.
Today I cooked soup using pumpkin, carrot, brocolli and cauliflower with pork. I took out the vege when they are [...]

Today, i finally got Bryan to drink formula.
My ex-classmate got married today, and I took Bryan to her morning wedding party - you know when the groom comes to pick up the bride party.
I decided to take Bryan along as her house is very near to mine. Less than 5 mins drive away.
We went home [...]

During the last few days when I was away, Bryan has been rejecting milk via bottle, spoon or cup. Mom tried all sorts of method to get him to drink milk and it was such a chore each time. My dad and her had to distract her with something new, or mix some cereals into [...]

Bryan is getting from bad to worse. Now he is rejecting the milk bottle all together, whether it contained EBM or fm or water.
So now mom has to spoon feed him milk and water. That’s the only way to get him to drink any liquid. My mom tried to get him to drink from the [...]
