Feeling Lazy….
zoopslife on Apr 21 2008 at 11:34 am | Filed under: Family, Food, Ian, My Rants.., My Shopping Addiction..
This weekend I did some grocery shopping and then some spring cleaning. Instead of buying fresh food, I have opted for frozen food this week.
It’s because the fresh food usually gets thrown out when I forget about it. But with frozen food, it doesn’t and I get to save a lot doing that. Besides, I have read in the papers before that frozen food and vegetables have more vitamins than the fresh ones…..so why not…
I also bought some vitamins for Ian. He is such a picky eater. He only eats Oatibix for his lunch and dinner, unless it’s chicken/ turkey nuggets with chips/ fries. I also give him yogurt. Not very healthy I supposed.
But he would not eat anything else except junk i.e snacks…biscuits. I have tried everything, so exasperated. Even if he eats junk, I try to give him healthy snacks like raisins, brioche, biscuits, unsalted crisps and etc…
I have almost given up now. He used to eat bananas and grapes but now it depends on his mood *slap head*. I really don’t understand why he is like that. But then again, he has been like that since birth even when I was breastfeeding him. He would take ages… stopping all the time.
So, I decided to buy this Eye-Q by Equazen. It is fish oil, it was recommended by a friend. Not cheap though, but there was an offer in Boots Pharmacy, £9.99 each. Buy 3, the cheapest free.
Before that he was on Seven Seas Cod Liver Oil. I have to mix it in his juice. It really taste yuck…hehe. I also saw this at Tesco the other day and thought that I tried it out as well. It’s Fruit and Veg in a sachet by Ultralife. I checked out their website….seems legit. So, I guess it is alright.
Anyway, it has been quite a lazy weekend. I did some spring cleaning and then just watch TV the whole day, catching up with my recorded series…Desperate Housewives, CSI, Criminal Minds…so many…haha…. Also did a lazy dinner, fish and chips…hehe….
Chloe is the same with eating.. ! headache . .i know… and she doesn’t want any kinda meat..!! love your fish and chips..

Thanks…fish and chips..hubby’s favourite….luckily it’s oven-cooked not deep fried..
Hi Sue
I hope that fish thingy u bought will work on Ian. The plate of fish and chips looks so inviting = ) yum yum! We buy alot of frozen veges too, to save on waste. Unless of course we hv salads then we buy them fresh on the day itself. Nora’s pretty ok with her greens but she does have her days off from veges totally and that can be frustrating, all she wants then is McDoLald (McDonald!!) sheesh kids eh!
Big hugs for a great week ahead.

Ya save money…well, Ian seems to be taking the fish oil…he is also a fan of McD!!
the eye-q is great. aidan is on efalex, similar thingy. promotes their brain development and function. keep on giving on a daily basis though, don’t be lazy like me! haha

Haiyo nowadays he is so active…hard to take photo or I am forgetful..hehe
I was tempted to buy some of those frozen stuff too but my hubby is not a fancee of frozen goods lor. he like them fresh.
You can ler..your house so near the market..
My 6 yo little nephew is also a very very picky eater, i can remember when he was about 1+, he refuses milk, so his mom got to get vanilla ice-cream for him!
so far so long, no amount of vitamins/supplement or even weight gain formula can make him eat either faster/more. But I remember a period of time when he takes colostrum tablets, he eats a little more. That’s the best thing i can think of that works.
Even now, he can take up to 2 hours to finish his meal, he can chew and chew forever. Damn sien when I see him eat.
I’m not trying to ruin your extra effort in making Ian to eat, but I think some kids just don’t like to eat. Funny hor..
