How to Feed Sick Sam?????????

Very irritating, when Sam has fever.

Since he's sick, his appetite drops. Has strong preference for liquid foods. Lucky this time he's willing to drink Dutch Lady's strawberry milk in addition to breastmilk.

In fact, he drank so much strawberry milk, he pooped 4 times today, all watery stools, since he didn't eat much solids.

Can't give him rice or porridge cos of the fever, which is very irritating, cos he seems to want to eat that. At least, when he sees us having dinner, he kept indicating the rice plate.

He didn't want macaroni in soup, nor with pasta sauce on Monday. Tuesday I specially cooked udon for him, and ended up having to eat the entire bowl myself! (not a favourite of mine, I'm a soba gal)

All he wanted from those 2 day's lunches were the carrot slices!!

So today I specially boiled some carrots for him. Even flavoured the stock with soya sauce.

And no, today not a carrot day. He only wanted the peas!!!!!!!!! Urgh!!!!!!!!

Ended up serving him bread today. Yesterday he ate 1 entire slice with tuna mayo spread (successful attempt after the udon rejection). Today, didn't want it with tuna mayo, took a whole day to finish the slice with ham-flavoured cheese spread. The garlic butter & margarine bread he only ate out of politeness.........

Didn't want the banana I forced myself to eat while still too raw for my taste (to entice him with). Willingly munched the pear my hubby ate though!!!!

Tomorrow gonna try macaroni & cheese, & some broccoli.......keeping my fingers crossed.

Hoping very hard his fever will subside totally by tomorrow & not return tonight. Otherwise, not only do I have to bring him to see the doctor again (as per doc's instructions), but I'll also have to come up with some other non-rice options for picky Sam!!!!!!
