#advicepls my 2yr plus old son goes into 15mins-30mins severe meltdown every day for the past few days. He's having fever and flu for a while, so we thought it might be due to him feeling uncomfortable. But the meltdowns are quite bad. He would cry uncontrollably, scream, go hysterical and nothing can stop him. He throws himself backwards violently and sometimes starts hitting me when I tighten my grip on him (to prevent him from falling). Each meltdown goes on for more than 10mins, happens once or twice a day, and the trigger can be something really minor eg change diaper. Not sure if I aggravated or triggered though cos sometimes I'm just very loud and assertive. But he usually responds well to all these triggers. Just like to understand if this is normal behaviour, ie kid can go hysterical when sick for no reason. Or it's something we need to work on, eg it's a fundamental problem thats not due to sickness?.

Hi all, I've been eating more than I need everyday for the past week. It's a little uncontrollable, as in I just keep on eating and don't stop when I'm feeling full. I've gained 3kg in less than a week, which scares me 'cos it's a bit too fast. I'm in my first trimester, week 10, and I know most people don't even gain weight during first trimester. I'm wondering if anyone's experienced the same as me, and if it is dangerous to gain weight at this rate?

I'm craving for it but have not found much info in the pros/cons of this fermented food... Anyone help pls?
