Dear mommies/daddies,

I have a situation here. My son frequently having fever and sick after been sent to nursery, it was like 2 weeks once for now. Been to nursery for about 2 and half mth, since then sick for 3 times already. Fever, flu and cough. Got fever again last night so been brought to doctor and doctor asked do we send him to nursery. So he said is common like that when they started going nursery. So I am wondering is there any better way of prevention or anything that I can do to avoid my son getting sick frequently? Supplement or any dietary plan that I need to feed my son. I'm very depressing actually as my son is a picky eater and I'm trying so hard to feed him timely. Lots of people commenting that he is very thin and that makes me even more sad. Sigh. I need help.

Hi Loki, thanks for your suggestion. I will give him supplements after this. What brand of multivitamin is good? Any recommendation?

Sigh. Hygiene is very important. I decided to send him to nursery also because of previous babysitter's hygiene is poor. Thought nursery is ok. Even worst than sending him to babysitter. I think only thing I can do or try is give him supplements.

I think I will try to give him supplements. Any recommendation on which brand of supplement is good? Agree with you though. Junk foods are bad. Make his taste buds goes strong. Actually my son took milk more than daily meals. If at nursery he is taking his daily meal well. If at home, I gotta run and chase him for feeding. Or make him sits and placed the food in front of him for him to eat. But it doesn't works all the time. Always ended up the food finished half only. I'm thinking am I bad mother. Sigh. Seeing those mom prepared home cooked meals perfectly and their kids finished all. I'm a full time working mom. Only able to cook on weekend. Sometimes I'm stuck and totally no idea what to do next. On the other side, my husband keeps saying that I'm not putting effort to feed or accompany my son. Sorry a bit out of topic. I should stopped here else. Just kinda depressed sometimes. Anyway, thanks for your suggestion. I will try those ideas.

Agree with you. Sometimes when stressed out and saw all these perfecto thingy indeed make me even more depressed. Anyway, im feeling great now as there is still a lot of parents out there that like me. Thanks for your reply. Truly appreciated.

did that before but then, my son started to reject porridge. Then i try with giving soft rice. sometimes he is fine with it but sometimes he rejected it.
He is 2years old. But for the fruit part, i think i did a mistake there. i didnt feed him fruits regularly. I guess i need to start it now.
Thanks for your suggestion. It really helps a lot.

I started probiotic for him last night as prescribed by doctor. I bought Seven Seas Cod oil + multivitamins. Really hope it will works.
Thanks for your suggestion. I will identify his favorite meal. Also, i agreed with you that they tend to follow other children especially when eating.
he is doing good in nursery, no feeding problem but when back home,i have a problem feeding him food. he always rejects the food that we gave. but in nursery, teachers told me he finished his meal clean. =(

I bought him Seven Seas as i saw cod liver oil + multivitamins that comes in syrup form. so i thought i give it a try.
I agree with your idea on finding out his favorite food from nursery. i should do that too. i tried before the nursery food, they cook without any MSG not even salts for taste. so i think they are doing good in that.

Everytime when my husband commented my role playing as a mother, he tends to give me negative comments. that is hurting actually. It seems like for him, i never do any better for my son, but he never try to understand my situation. honestly sometimes when back from work,i really tired. As i need to do housechores everyday. cant miss it not even one day as im staying with mil. i think you understand. so, i barely have time to check out my son's need. there is a time i thought maybe he is right, i should care and spend more time on my son. but when it comes to reality, it seems like i dont have enough time. after housechores done, i need to spend time with my son and then put him to sleep then i need to tidy up the mess and prepare his school stuff for the next day. plus now i need to spend time to cook at night or the next morning. sometimes i really just need a break u know. but it seems like it is hard to make ppl understand our situation.

my son is 2years old.

i see..thank you for enlightened me..i understand now..
jst got him started probiotics that prescribed by doctor. yes, i believed those vitagen or yakult are not as good as advertise so i never give any of them for my son. i prefer he takes water..

Actually my mil cooks everyday's dinner. So i wouldnt want to be a bad dil. i help her to wash dishes, sweep and mop floor. sometimes with laundry. she is working too(own business). i have no issue in doing those housechores..just that sometimes im very tired and i need to rest. i think compromise is very important in this issue.

for my hubby part, he did send my son to nursery everyday cuz he works flexible while im not and sometimes i fetch my son back from nursery. that is the part that he helps.
