What my kids are like, and how to raise your child/children in this day and age.

Ang Gatas Ni Akoba Ay Aqiva

I just find that phrase super funny..

please indulge with me..

You have met Akoba, right? not yet? Here he is:

And the story behind that can be found HERE

He is our picky eater..and he’s quite small by his age and as much as I want to give the best milk out there, his taste buds are hard to please.. we started from Nido then to Grow (brcause he liked the Giraffe design) now finally he’s loving Aqiva! Having the chance to attend Aqiva’s events, I know that this is the right milk for my little boy, so when I went home with two cans of Aqiva from an event I attended, I asked him to try it and so glad that he liked it! He can even drink it from the glass! Yay!

Ang Gatas Ni Akoba Ay Aqiva

I just want to share the happiness of finding the right milk brand for my boy.. hopefully before he starts schooling, we would see a progress on his weight as well as his height 🙂

Three Boys And A Princess Show: Orange Doughnut

Bakit naman kase ang Serinetea at Krispy Kreme eh magkatapat?!? hindi lang sa Eastwood banch ha.. kahit pati sa Rob Gale!

And whenever I need a milk tea fix.. the kids also need their doughnuts! hangastos kaya!

It is as if I can say no to my kids.. kung sana lang OK na sila sa original glazed eh.. the thing is, each have their own preference. My two older boys love anything but original glazed (they like Snickers the most) while my third boy only likes ORANGE DOUGHNUT (original glazed) and the little girl likes M&M’s doughnut or the minis.. good thing, she always thought the one with sprinkles is the same as the one with M&M’s hehehe

As always I have no choice but to buy one dozen assorted (with 2-4 original glazed) and as always, their look of gratitude is priceless!

Mga anak,

eto ang dahilan ng paghihirap ni Mommy sa computer.. para mabilhan kayo lagi ng Krispy Kreme

hehehe

Getting To Know Dermatitis: Cause, Symptoms and Treatment

My third soon often complains of itchiness behind his knees.. I thought it was just ants, then we noticed that his skin on that area becomes flaky and reddish. His pedia said he is suffering from Dermatitis. She said it was infantile eczema or Atopic Dermatitis to be exact. It was my first time to heard such as thing, so as any mommy would do, I asked the big G for more information: what is atopic dermatitis? what causes atopic dermatitis, what are the symptoms of atopic dermatitis, how to treat atopic dermatitis and how to prevent atopic dermatitis. What is Atopic Dermatitis? Well, according to our pedia, it is a skin inflammation. She said it was not nakakahawa or contagious. It can be very itchy and the child suffering from it experience discomfort. It can lead to infection though as when the child scratch with dirty hands. What cause Atopic Dermatitis? Pedia said it varies, it maybe food allergies, the sudden change in temperature, clothes material, dry skin or even due to auto immune reaction. Our pedia advised us to be very observant with my third son.. take note of the food he eats and see if this is the cause of his AD (atopic Dermatitis) What are the symptoms of Atopic Dermatitis? Itchy and flaky skin. Blisters due to scratching. How To Treat and How To Prevent Atopic Dermatitis? As the cause of AD varies, to prevent it, is to know the cause. If your kid is suffering from AD and the culprit is the food, pinpoint which and stop giving them that kind of food to prevent AD. Treating Atopic Dermatitis also includes pin pointing the cause so as to prevent it from getting worse. My pedia recommended the following:

Foskina B tow times daily
Use hypo allergenic soap such as Cetaphil Wash
Use lotion twice daily
Take a bath daily

Lucky me, I was given some Cetaphil products, I can give this a try and see if it can help cure my son’s AD. Here something about Cetaphil:

From the makers of Dermatologist and Pediatrician recommended brand of cleansers and moisturizers is Cetaphil Restoraderm. Cetaphil Restoraderm is formulated for very dry itchy skin. Cetaphil Restoraderm may help reduce the signs and symptoms of Atopic Dermatitis, improve quality of life, and prevent flare-ups and prolong remission. Cetaphil Restoraderm has two variants: moisturizer and wash. The Cetaphil Restoraderm Moisturizer contains filaggrin breakdown products and ceramide precursor, which help restore the skin’s natural moisturizing factors and rebuild a healthy skin barrier. The Cetaphil Restoraderm Wash has a patented foaming technology called “Miracare” that contains high levels of nourishing oils to hydrate atopic skin. Cetaphil Restoraderm Wash is non-soap, lipid-free and has a neutral pH. Cetaphil Restoraderm Moisturizer and Wash are both clinically proven effective and safe for use among babies, early as 3 months, and toddlers.

We learned that his AD was caused by eating chicken, mango, watermelon and egg! poor boy.. those are his favorites!
