Pediasure

After 2 months of goat milk, Janelle starts to reject the milk.. each time she only takes in 10 to 20ml the most... some times, once the bottle is put into her mouth, she immediately push it away. Mummy has no choice but to move back to cow milk. Getting BRT help to increase her intolerence limit towards the cow milk, and slowly moved back to cow milk.

Recalled that my neighbour is giving her girl Pediasure as per doctor recomendation to plump her girl up for a ear surgury. After a year, she is in a good weight now. And also one of Janelle classmate was introduced to Pediasure by doctor, because of his eating habit (many things cannot eat) and he is in a good weight too.

Hence did some read up on the formula:
- "The unique formula of PediaSure provides complete and balanced nutrition. Pediasure helps fill the nutrition gaps that can arise out of a child’s fussy eating behavior."
- "PediaSure is clinically tested by scientists, researchers and doctors to help increase height and weight** and strengthen natural immunity in children.*** These findings have been verified and published in scientific journals that are read by pediatricians around the world."

Nutritionally, a Pediasure can has 237 calories (labeled energy on the can, 7.1 g protein, 11.8 g fat, 26g carbohydrate l-carnitine 4mg, taurine 17mg, packed with many essential vitamins and minerals, and water 200g. Not surprisingly, the top of the main ingredients is water, followed by suger (sucrose), maltodextrin (corn), sodium caseinate, high-oleic safflower oil, soy oil, fractionated coconut oil (medium-chained triglycerides), and whey protein concentrate.

Pediasure is lactose free, which they say makes it easily digested. However, it is not for children with galactosemia - G6PD (lacks the enzyme to convert galactose into glucose; galactose in the bloodstream is like poison).

It's seems should be ok. Thought Janelle is not a fussy eater, but because there are things that she cant eat due to her intolerence, hence I decided to give her Pediasure to fill the nutrition gaps and also to increase weight for this skinny girl.

We are now on 100% Pediasure, but her intake wasnt alot too.. a day she properly takes in about 500 ml but is better than goat milk intake.

Goat Goat Milk Milk

After hearing GD advice reduce cow milk intake for brain damaged child due as could be allergy to the cow homos, and BRT found that Janelle is having intolerance to cow milk. We decided to replace janelle's cow milk powder with fresh goat milk. We specially make a trip down to the Hays Dairies farm (Singapore Only Goat farm at Lim Chu Kang) to enquiry about the milk on Good Friday. http://www.haydairies.com.sg/ We bought 5 bottles of fresh goat milk to try out with Janelle to see if she can tolerance the smell. so far so good. So after this last tin of Gain IQ, we will move to 100% goat milk. The price is kind of steep. One bottle cost $2 (purchase from the farm) / $2.50 (for delivery) for 200ml. Says if Janelle takes 3 bottles a day, that's $6 to 7.50 a day, and $30-$35 a week and $120 - $140 or more a month. Was thinking of fresh Goat milk vs Powdered Goat Milk, i decided to go for Fresh Goat milk as it does not contains processed nutrients, sugar, preservation etc. It will be more troublesome, as we need to warm up the milk just like breast milk, but i believe this will be a better choice. To keep her body away from the processed ingredient while we are clearing and detoxing whatever is in her body. Goat's milk can be used as a replacement for cow's milk-based who have difficulties with dairy products. Unfortunately, goat's milk is lacking in several nutrients that are necessary for growing infants, hence now her every meal, will need to make sure the solid food that she is taking has the all the necessary nutrients.

A day in Goat Farm:

A guide in the farm who explained the process of milking goat, benefit of goat milk, how you handle the goat milk, introducing their goats and selling of their goat milk.

Goat Milk is packed in the bottles. 5bottles and it come with a cooler box that helps to keep cold for about 10 hrs.

Janelle's first try on goat goat milk milk

Drinking milk

Finally she is willing to hold her own milk bottle :) it's take me to 21mths to train her... Good job sweet sweet.
