give ur son more supplements, vitamin C, cod liver oil and good quality honey...
cut his junk food intake and he has eat his meal regularly ( that u gotta b strict with him la).

my son also goes to nursery and he is 3 yrs old...I gave him all the above supplements and I am strict with him when it comes to meal time...

ooohhh... ya, veges r important... not to forget his regular milk meal daily...

personally, I believe junk food is the root of all this... if they start to eat junk food, they tend to b picky eaters...

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.  unsure.gif I should stopped here else. Just kinda depressed sometimes. Anyway, thanks for your suggestion. I will try those ideas.

I wouldnt recommend any specific brand as long as the vitamin C is for toddler and children and WITHOUT coloring (some vitamin C are very colourful), as cod liver oil, I dun think there are many brand out there, my son is taking scott's emulsion and good manuka honey will do...

Nursery food is important too... u gotta be sure that they dun cook their food too salty or add MSG into his meals (I will try to buddy buddy with the nursery fella, try to find find out wat my son like to eat). then, I will try to cook wat he like to eat

u gotta b strict, REALLY strict, when it comes to meal time...

u r not a bad mother, ur doing de best u can for ur child and husband plays an important role too... Being a father in 21st century is different from 50 years ago... my wife is working full time too and works really late. I will usually pick up my son from the nursery and I will cook dinner for my son and wife. a modern day father just cant talk only but gotta do a lot for his child...

keep ur chin up... u can do better...

BTW, how old is ur son???

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.

at de age of 2, u should b spending more time with ur son and husband (QUALITY TIME). it very important for ur child's development. I believe u wouldn't want ur son to follow ur husband's bad traits (if there is any). I can only suggest to u that u should try to talk it out with ur husband, he may b rite at times AND he also may b wrong too... but I am not here to judge anyone. to bring up a child nowadays needs de mother as well as the father... it no one man show...

as for ur MIL...I have never lived with my MIL, so I cant say much... Personally, I strongly believe that a kitchen can NEVER have two cooks ( hope u can understand wat I mean).

again I as said earlier, quality time with ur son and husband is de key here... if ur husband shares some of ur burden, I believe 90% of problems are solved... there rest is some small issue nia... for me, my wife and I will do everything within our ability to give de best to our child. I believe as we watch our child grows, our is also watching us in return, they are also trying to understand us and at times they tend to abuse it too...kids these days are smart than us back then...

as for housechores, I used to clean it until its is sparkling clean BUT then what the purposes??? ur house wont say thank u to u... now as long as my house is clean, it is good enuf... JANJI ADA KEMAS RUMAH, I would rather spend more time with my wife and son.

work in de ofis is already tough, y should our housechores b tough too??? relax...take things on de lighter side...

Y u need to do so much housechores when staying with MIL? Shouldn't she help? But as what you explained, it seems that staying with her had become someone QC you to ensure you finish all chores of the day.

Sigh...Mrs.. please don't do everything just to pls ppl. You know you did your best and if need to, let go of the housechores and only handle your kid as we only have very short evening to spend with them. As for the housechore, leave it til weekend. If anyone complaint and cannot tahan .. suggest them to do it.

Hubby is suppose to share your workload and the responsibility. Next time, if he trying to give you negative comments. Do tell him that you know you are not perfect in handling the role but you still doing your responsibility. If he sees something need to be done to improve the kid, he being the father should have done his part equally as you did.

being offensive with ur spouse is not the way to solve ur child's problem...

Main content in Vitagen and Yakult are sugar, next is chemicals.
If you really want your child to have better digestive system and healthier body, take natural yogurt.
Children's antibody system are not that good, so any fever also must not treat it lightly. If the nursery always have children getting sick, you shall lodge a complaint to local council or Jabatan Kebajikan. Not listening to some said, let them be.
My wife are running day care, every morning she is doing fever screening, who ever that being detected 37.3°C, will not be allowed to enter.
Fever among children can be very serious, I have a friend's son ended up with brain damaged because of prolong fever due to negligence.
Taking supplements won't really help improve their condition.

true...vitagen and yakult r filled with sugar... Natural yoghurt is best. my son usually have them with fruits in it.

Because natural yogurt taste not that good, so need to add in something, fruits, coco powder are some good option whistling.gif

Yes, being offensive with spouse won't solve the problem. But is her man's negative comments that put her in stressful mode and she really take his word that make her feel she's really not doing a good job. Her man need to stop that and help her to find solution instead of putting any single blame. There is a message she need to her man to understand.

who r we to judge who is rite or who is wrong...
put egos aside when it comes a child interest, we r only doing our best for our child...

her husband MAY BE lousy with words BUT that doesn't mean he is wrong OR she MAY BE too stressed out seing her son falls frequently. I will only encourage her. if she calmed, relaxed and a have peace of mind, I believe she can even better, then of cos her husband play a crucial role too... its no one man show...

telling who is rite and who is wrong would only tense up the situation, it will not help a stressed out mother OR father.

Totally agreed. Is just the matter of whether her hubby willing to help.

It is NOT just a matter of whether her husband WILLINGNESS to help...

the husband has GOT to help... HE is de father of the child... there is no either or choice for him to choose...
the moment his wife got pregnant, his paternal instinct has gotta kick in already...

it is for him to perform his duty as husband / father to the fullest...
there is NO two ways about it...

being father in 21st century is NOT same as 50 years ago.
