(This is a 48-hour sticky post, scroll down for updates!)
Having a child changes me both physically (that's the most obvious ;p) and emotionally. I've become more alert, more sensitive, more caring, more loving and more worried than ever. I think of my baby like 839,183,145 times a day (I'm sure all mothers too), wondering if she had enough sleep, if I'm feeding her right, if she drinks enough milk, if she gains enough weight, if it's okay to feed her this and that, why she's crying, why she poops too much or too little, etc etc. The list is endless! I find myself constantly worried, especially if my baby is sick. My baby's pain feels so much worse than my own.
So far in her 1 year of life, my baby had fallen sick twice. She had diarrhea once when she was about 4 months old (my Paed suspected contaminated water and told me that breastfed babies don't need to drink plain water), and then again when she was 10 months old (I was away to Singapore for the Nuffnang Blog Awards and left her with my husband at my PIL's). It was heart-wrenching to see her in pain.
Bacterias and germs are like everywhere.
And what's worse - babies like to put everything they can get into their mouths!
While vaccination is important for children, it doesn't guarantee immunity. Breastfed babies have stronger immune system, but not all mothers are able to breastfeed their babies until 2 years old so in this case, choosing the right formula milk and also practicing a healthy and hygienic routine is vital. It's important to feed your child with healthy nutritious food too bcoz not eating healthily is one of the factors that may affect your child's immune system.
Homemade food are the best!

Homemade food are the best!Nutrients that help to build a strong immunity as well as the growth and development of your child include protein, vitamins, mineral, prebiotics and healthy live bacterias (probiotics).
