Eating strike

About the hardest part of taking care of Jo Ern is feeding her.  She is on ANOTHER eating strike after a short bout of fever.  The fever has gone but she continued to refuse food.  Well that is, the nutritious and yummy food painstakingly planned and prepared by Mummy. *roll eyes*  I HAVE given up forgoing seasoning on her food and have been using salt, soy sauce, ikan bilis, marmite.  So last week I didn't send any more cooked food after the predecessors all ended up in the bin.  She has been surviving on milk, fruit, cheese, yogurt, cereal and biscuits.

Ah ok, still nice and slim.
Mummy: Oi, you're supposed to GROW!

Aiks this little kid of mine.  She had just reached the 9kg mark and now she's gone below, this at 15 months.  I am hoping she doesn't take after hubby, who also prefers snacks and junk food to real food!  (And is always worrying about being underweight, heh)

  1. That's a appropriate picture for the post. Cute.
    U must be feeling very heartsick when each time Jo Ern refuses the food that u have cooked. I always get all flustered and upset when Ally refuses to eat too. From the food that u mentioned that she still eats... sounds alright la..nutritious and still has her calorie intake. Does Jo Ern like Japanese food? Like sushi or the egg custard chawan mushi? Ally loves that and is so gung ho abt eating that. Not my own cooking tho.

    About the food strike, I tot she was still on strike two weeks ago when I was there? So is this a new strike or continuation of the pvs one?

  3. Leona, quantity consumed of the 'replacement foods' isn't much so caloric intake is still low. She hates fish and that rules out most Japanese food! Oh that happened to me too... she does eat chawan mushi so I made soft steamed egg for her - kena rejected immediately haha.

    Y, some delay in posting. :)
