My toddler girl doesn’t like to eat vegetables. I’m worried about her having irregular bowel movements. Any advices how to prevent constipation for kids who don’t like to eat vegetables? Thank you!

Because happiness is homemade and this is how we take a break from digital devices ❤️ . . These were crafts I did with my kids last week when I wanted them to take a break from screens, digital devices/technology & the internet. We made candy dispensers for fun play, interactive car land crafts complete with DIY car wash, car showroom, petrol station and car workshop! My kids & I enjoyed it so much and this is how we bond together as a family too! . . I always believe kids need to take a break from digital overload especially these days home based learning is no longer a choice but a mandatory from the school. Taking a break from screens has many benefits including decreased stress, increased sleep, and decreased distractibility.

Every once in a while, walk in the nature, feel the fresh air and it’s a good way to have fun “offline” . . . These days, digital devices are unavoidable for my kids and as much as I want my kids to stay offline but I have to be flexible & open minded in their learning especially during this circuit breaker period, my kids have to depend more on digital devices to catch up with their study & school curriculum. The best thing I can do as a parent parenting my kids in the digital age is to have a good balance between going online & going offline. When it’s time to go online with their digital devices, I will make sure my kids have their screen time controlled and after they are done with their home based learning, they will take a walk through nearest park or reservoir because I truly believe being in nature reduces stress and improves positive feeling. Engaging with nature is a way to limit children’s exposure to screens and possibly a way to improve creativity too! . . Thanks to the tips I read from Media Literacy Council bit.ly/CliqueClickGuide on how to regulate screen time back to normalcy and how to have fun offline activities, I’m confident I can teach my kids to set boundaries on their own screen time use. My parenting way to take a break from digital technology is engaging with nature and how about you? I would love to hear more! . . . Follow @betterinternetsg on IG or Facebook for more resources.

Introducing full cream cow’s milk along with breastfeeding to baby Cassandra. She doesn’t take milk bottle at all and she’s only direct latching when she’s breastfeeding. When I introduced full cream cow’s milk to her as part of her healthy breakfast or snacking choice, I used straw cup instead of milk bottle for smooth feeding. She’s drinking really well and there’s no nipple confusion at all. Along with full cream cow’s milk, she’s also taking baby biscuits or wholemeal bread as her healthy meal choice for her optimal growth and development. I have also tried to dip baby biscuits or wholemeal bread into her full cream cow’s milk and she can’t get enough! It’s really yummy! Actually mommy also loves it! ? Eating biscuits or bread together with full cream cow’s milk is her favourite meal time now! I believe healthy toddler is happy mommy and fellow mums, have you tried dipping biscuits/bread into full cream cow’s milk? Did your little one like it? ?❤️

Baby Cassandra is one year old this 25 September and she’s still breastfeeding full time. As much as mama enjoying this special bonding moment so much and no planning to wean her off from boobs yet, mama has been thinking to introduce her full cream cow’s milk along with breastfeeding. The reasons are full cream cow’s milk contains calcium and vitamin D, minerals & vitamins are essential in building her strong bones, soon to be a toddler, baby Cass needs nutritious higher fat content food for her growth and brain development and also protein in full cream cow’s milk helps baby Cass in building strong muscles as she grows into an active toddler ❤️ And because her two siblings are having full cream cow’s milk with wholemeal bread as their healthy breakfast choice before going to school, it’s pretty easy to introduce her full cream cow’s milk, she loves to have what her siblings having. She has tried full cream cow’s milk a few times and so far so good. Mama plans to include full cream cow’s milk as part of her daily healthy breakfast choice for her growth and development! Let’s welcome her to toddlerhood where her new world (and mama’s too) will be full of wonder and surprise ❤️ .

As a SAHM of 3 kids, I have the privilege to watch my kids grow up, witness their milestones as well as fun play and learn with them. And now with a baby around, our play time is always at home! Just like other kids, my kids get bored easily at home and as their mum, it’s important to keep them entertained through games, toys, activities and plays at home. Gameplay should also be fun learning and a few gameplay ideas I’d like to share: 1. Colouring, I love reusable & easy to wipe silicone colouring mats. It helps to calm my kids down for a while & improves creativity. 2. Play dough, Blocks, LEGO, Puzzle , Building bricks/sticks, Board games, Kinetic sand, etc. These games are excellent for their motor skills, creativity and brains development. 3. Imaginative play toys such as kitchen set, complete with food/fruits/drinks toys for kids to role play as Chef, waiter, customer etc. Imaginative play is not just limited to toys, but it’s also dressing up as a character kids want to be. For example, my 6 year old son loves to dress up as a fireman, complete with helmet & toy equipment, it helps with his speech development. Imaginative play toys are not necessarily to be expensive, it can also be easily DIY at home such as using cardboard boxes to build a fire engine car (kids can help with the decorations) or a farm house for farm animals (kids pretend to be farmers) imaginative plays are unlimited and always fun when parents join the kids together & role play as a family. It promotes bonding too. 4. Home Playground. It’s important to keep kids active no matter they are at home or outside. Benefits of being active are stronger muscles & bones and better sleep. And also physically active kids are more likely to be motivated, focused and confident. Would love to share about Friso’s ongoing promo (1 March to 30 April 2019).
