    Pediatricians in Toa Payoh, Bishan Area

    I second this suggestion!! My son who has cried every single time we visit a clinic (yes, he cries from the moment we step in till we leave), did not shed a single tear in Dr Oh's clinic. Instead, he was smiling, giving high five to Dr. Oh, and even a flying kiss to her at the end of the...

    Dealing with fever - western or chinese beliefs?

    I use the same combination of western and chinese medicine too, although I'd choose to relate the covering up and sweating it out similar to the wiping with lukewarm water in an area without wind. Idea is to use the sweat/lukewarm water to bring temperature off the body as it evaporates from the...

    Weird fever virus?

    Yup, if u see sticky strands of stuff in their poo, do not panic. If you feel that the cough is getting a little chesty, you can do some chest physio for your kids to facilitate the release of phlegm. Just cup your hands, and tap gently and rythmically on the shoulder blades. If unsure, ask your...

    Upset with 18mth weight

    My son was also about 9.5kg when he was 18 months, and now at 25 months he's still only 11.5kg. He's under the 25th percentile, but has always been since birth. I think the most impt thing is the pattern of his growth, i.e. not going from 75th percentile to 50th or 25th percentile that is impt...

    Ok to give multi-vitamins for 1-yr-olds? And formula?

    I totally agree. it seems to be a norm with many parents to offer milk when the kid refuses food. I think it creates a very bad habit, and encourages the child to be lazy (cos its easier to jus drink then to chew) or quickly get over a meal so they can get back to playing. Parents with...

I'm a dietitian myself, although I do not specialise in paed nutrition, but I hae a pair of twins myself so I feel for the parents as well as applying the professional knowledge. My son is also a skinny boy who is 1.5kg lighter than my girl...
