Pick Me Up

Hurmm... my muse started writing again. How lovely. :)

Sigh! Had to give sarah an enema last night. The teacher told me that she was having hard stools and was having a hard time excreting them. This time around, she was wailing when we told her what we're gonna do. Last time elok je. Maybe because she had a tough time pooping at school kot.

Now.. this constipation thing always happens once in a while. Like most other toddlers, she just refused to eat veggies. Cakapla macam mana pun, eat celery stick like the Wonderpets ke, eat spinach like poppeye ke, have to eat veggies to poop better ke... Tak jalan jugak. Haritu, we went to a restaurant where they served celery sticks and carrots with dips as the appetizer. We're quite relieved that she took one celery stick, and dipped in the veggie dip. Alih-alih, dia makan dip je.. celery tu panjang tu la jugak. Sigh!~ Maybe i'm not persistent enough when introducing veggie kot. Huh.. Kena lebih persistent lepas ini, dan lebih tenacious dari sarah. Hehehe..

Sometimes, when making tomato sauce for pasta, aku masukkan jugak grated carrots, tapi sarah kurang gemar tomato sauce. She drinks juice, but i think the best source of fiber is in the fruit/veggie itself. Bila dah jadi juice, fiber dah kurang, gula je lebih.

She used to enjoy eating carrots and peas when she was younger. In fact, we had no trouble getting her to eat veggies when we introduced them earlier, when she started solids. Sekarang je, bila dah besar dan makin bijak, semuanya yang macam sayur dan buah... "I don't want!!" Hadeyy...

Bagi idea sikit, boleh?

i. Macam mana nak bagi toddler makan fiber - buah/sayur/ other fibrous foods.
ii. Idea resepi yang boleh dicuba.
iii. Petua / teknik meredakan constipation.

Terima kasih atas idea-idea anda, ya?
