    Adventures in Feeding a Family
    2008-08-20 10:04:00
    I mentally ticking items off the list in my head of stuff I need to take care of on lunch. My father-in-law is having major surgery right now. Because of that, I offered to have the family over for dinner so that no one had to worry about starving to death or subjecting themselves to hospital cafeteria food.Of course, when I offered I didn't know that I might have about 10-12 people stopping by to eat. And of course, my in-laws have excellent appetites. Since I'm such an awesome cook (note sarcasm), I will be making chili in a crock-pot. I can only do a double-batch, so I've already started brainstorming how to stretch to make sure no one goes hungry. Because, as you may know, that is the ultimate sin for a Polish woman.Between my brain and suggestions from Sabrina (thankyouverymuchyouRAWK!), I think we're going to pick up a couple $5 Little Caesar pizzas to go along with the chili, French bread and whatever frozen vegetable I find in the freezer to cook up. I have visions of a s

    Health Tip: Feeding Your Baby
    2008-08-02 03:19:00
    (HealthDay News) -- It's important for new parents to understand what and how often your baby needs to eat, and how that schedule should change as your baby matures.The U.S. National Library of Medicine offers these guidelines to help plan your baby's feeding:Babies who breast-feed typically need to be fed once every one to three hours. Babies on a diet of formula need to be fed every two to four hours, as formula takes longer to digest. You should never give a baby younger than 1 cow's milk, since it is difficult for an infant to digest. Don't attempt to give baby any solid food until at least 4 months of age, preferably 6 months of age. Begin introducing solid foods between 6 months and 12 months of age, starting with pureed or mashed foods, and graduating to more solid foods. Introduce new foods one at a time, and monitor closely for signs of allergic reaction. New foods should be introduced only when an infant is hungry.

    Feeding Your Pet Stingray - The Essentials of Maintaining
    2008-06-12 22:43:00
    Stingrays will eat a wide variety of foods. Maintaining a varied diet is extremely important in captive animals, as monocultural diets incur a risk of nutritional deficiencies. Stingrays are very active, and should be fed at least once a day, preferably twice or even three times daily. The daily diet can be varied in order to create some environmental enrichment as well as balanced nutrition for the rays.First FoodsFirst foods for newly acquired rays should be blackworms or tubifex worms. These foods seem to be the most readily accepted, and are small enough to be inadvertently ingested either by mouth or through the spiracle, thereby giving the ray an opportunity to taste these possibly unfamiliar foods by chance. Foods that have been used for very small specimens, such as the teacup rays, are small insect larvae such as mosquito larvae, small shrimp known as ghost shrimp or glass shrimp, live adult brine shrimp, and blackworms. Chitinous foods such as shrimp provide less nutritional

    Feeding the SPR
    2008-05-14 02:11:29
    Congress defies Bush on oil reserve - CNN.com "Purchases for SPR [the reserve] account for one-tenth of 1 percent of global demand," Bush said in April. "And I don't think that's going to affect price when you affect one-tenth of 1 percent, and I do believe it is in our national interests to get the SPR filled in case there's a major disruption of crude oil around the world."As usual I think our president simply doesn't understand the world from the perspective of the average American. The fact that oil prices will only go down a little means a lot when you depend on gas for your survival. Putting oil in the SPR while gas prices continue to break records is like funding your 401k while going bankrupt. Sometimes you just have to re-prioritize. Now my readers out there are almost surely saying to themselves, "but Mark, you are in favor of high gas prices, aren't you?" And the answer, of course, is yes. I am in fact in favor of high gas prices as a means of changing the way America

    Breast feeding mothers can't drink
    2007-12-19 09:23:55
    I am always curious about breast feeding mothers not being able to drink alcohol while breast feeding. I looked it up online, and read that it is okay to drink wine or alcohol only in moderation. Hmmm...do nursing mothers really try? I think I heard Britney Spears drunk alcohol while pregnant or breast feeding. Did she even breast feed I wonder? Anyway, I am confused between drinking or not drinking while breast feeding. I wish there is no restriction...LOL, that nothing affects the little ones like we see and hear people say. Oh, I guess, people should just do what's good for their baby after all, it is not for life bearing with the situation. So bear with it mothers if possible, avoid drinking alcohol. It's better to be safe than sorry. Maybe a sip won't hurt but who knows.

    Feeding the Prostate
    2007-12-06 03:22:00
    Ideally, people would get all the nutrients and vitamins they need from food. Unfortunately many people start with a nutrient deficit because our food- products are designed to produce good-looking items that don’t spoil on the way to the consumer instead of nutrient-packed, healthful foods. That’s why most people must turn to supplements. Liquid and natural supplements are much easier for our bodies to process, and are more easily absorbed. Supplements that specifically benefit the prostate include zinc, kelp, nettles, green teas, pygeum, saw palmetto, and avena sativa. Zinc: This mineral is a major component of ejaculate. Zinc strengthens the immune system, is vital for strong bones and reproduction, and regulates both sugar and blood cholesterol. Kelp: A seaweed rich in minerals and iodine that help to prevent and treat prostate cancer. Nettles: Contain iron, vitamin C, and other nutrients that can strengthen the prostate. It can be taken in a variety of forms.

    Feeding Evacuated Children.
    2007-11-12 13:22:00
    November 13 … On September 1st 1939 in England the mass evacuation of children from the cities (which were expected to be bombed) to the relative safety of the countryside began. The experience was very varied – most must have been very homesick at first, some were ill-treated by their host ‘parents’, but some were happier and better fed than they had been in their real homes. Country families who took evacuees were paid 8 shillings and sixpence a week for each child. On this day in 1939 The Times ran an article explaining just how two particular country mothers fed the children in their care. “One, a Scottish woman who has five boys in her house (they range from 6 to 12) … says they have gained in weight and are always contended with their food. .. Being a Scot, their hostess naturally believes in porridge. This they have three times a week for breakfast, alternating with scrambled eggs.” Her charges were lucky – they had three meals a day (bre

    Feeding baby solid food for your 4 month baby
    2007-10-02 12:21:48
    Feeding baby solid food for your 4 month babyStarting baby on solid food sometimes make parent confuse, because they do not know in what age baby to introduce to solid food. I found really great article about introducing feeding baby solid food to your 4 month baby with the great tips to do that and some unique sign from your baby when he ready to feed with solid food.If your baby is 4 month old now, know the sign from your baby and prepare feeding your baby with solid food.Weaning your Baby Onto SolidsAuthor: Cecilia KohOnce your baby has completed his fourth month you can start weaning him onto solids. A couple of signs which your baby will show when he is ready to start solids are:1. He starts drinking less milk.2. He smacks his lips when he sees you eating.You also do not want to leave it later than 6 months when it will be more difficult for the baby to learn how to coordinate taking food into the mouth and swallowing because he is too used to sucking.Do not give your baby solids before he has completed four months because the digestive system is not ready and you may create unnecessary problems. I have heard older ladies telling the new mothers to add rice powder to the last feed at night so that baby will sleep through the night before the babies are 4 months old. Please do not do this!Preparing the food• Place one teaspoon baby rice powder in a bowl• Add a little boiled hot water• Stir the mixture until it is smooth• Change to a plastic spoon (I find the spoons from KFC are ideal and it saves cost)Get the baby ready.• Try to feed baby before bathing as it can be quite messy.• Put him in a carry chair so that he is properly supported.• Give only once a day until he is ready for more.• There is no need to sterilise the bowls and spoon. Just normal washing is sufficient• Let’s put on the bib before we start.• Take a tiny bit of the mixture on the tip of the spoon• Put it into the baby’s mouth• Baby will make a funny face which is the most typical reaction to the first spoonful• Baby will not take the food like adults but try to suck as if drinking from a bottle• Being a new experience baby will not know how to swallow yet so the food will dribble out. Don’t worry if the food continues to dribble out, just continue to scoop it back into the mouth• If baby is very active, you can hold him down by placing one hand over his hands and body• Be patient and do this slowly• If baby starts crying and refuses to feed, stop and try again a few days later• If he likes it let him finish the feed• Continue feeding and scooping back until it is all gone• Give him some water from a bottle after he has finished feedingIf baby likes his solids, continue with one teaspoon a day for one week then increase to two teaspoons the next week and slowly increase according to his appetite. Please take note that this small amount does not replace a milk feed. After he has finished eating and has had his bath give him his normal milk feed but if he cannot finish it, don’t force him. As the amount of solid he is taking increases you can decrease the amount of milk accordingly but only for the feed that the solid will eventually replace.After one month of plain rice powder you then add vegetable powder, and if there are no signs of allergies you can use the other flavours of ready to eat food. You can also try increasing to 2 feeds per day. I find that before 6 months it is more convenient to use packet food as the amount they eat is too small to warrant the time and energy to cook food.From six months onwards you can start making home cooked food for him. What you cook will depend on whether you want to offer western or eastern style cuisine. Personally, I find it easiest to offer Chinese or local cuisine as I can put in the meat, rice and vegetables all in one pot until the child is older and has teeth to chew other types of food. So I will concentrate on teaching you how to cook baby porridge. Also it looks more appetizing at least for the adult. Please do not blend the porridge. Giving blended food for too long will make it difficult for baby to learn how to eat adult food which can be introduced from 10 months onward. If you think that the porridge is too lumpy you can mush it up using the back of a spoon. Do not give baby overnight porridge as it can cause a lot of wind.I find it easier to cook the porridge in a slow cooker and it only takes about 4-5 hours for it to be ready. The time you start cooking will depend on what time your child wants to eat.• Put hot water into the slow cooker and add the vegetables. Cook enough for 2 meals• After one hour add the washed rice (about 1 handful)• When the rice grains have opened up (usually about 1 hour) add the meat• If you use fish add this 1 hour before meal time as fish cooks very fast.What do you put in the porridge?Meat and fishAlways boil the meat for a couple of minutes to remove the scum before adding to the porridge. The bones will give extra taste and sweetness. Leave a tiny bit of fat on so that it can extract fat soluble vitamins into the porridge.Pork is ‘neutral’ therefore it can be used frequently. Use the ribs or bony part as this will add sweetness to the porridge.Chicken is ‘heaty’ so once or twice a week is alright. If your child has a cough do not use as it makes the cough worse.Beef is ‘heaty’ and the smell can be very strong if you use too much.Lamb is very ‘heaty’ and the smell is quite strong so I don’t use it in the porridge but you can let your child eat it when he is olderFish is ‘neutral’. Add a slice of ginger to the porridge to remove the fishy smell. Check carefully that any bones are removed. Do not use if your baby has a cold as it produces more phlegm. Salmon and cod are too rich in omega oil therefore not suitable below 1 year.Dried scallop, ikan bilis (anchovies) and oysters are very salty so they should only be used once or twice a month. To remove the excess salt, soak in milk for about 20 minutes before use.It is best not to use minced meat because you do not want baby to eat too much meat at this age. Minced meat is quite rough in texture which may make it difficult for baby to swallow. Eating too much meat may also lead to intestinal worms. The reason for using meat is to extract the protein and add taste to the porridge. When baby is older you can flake off some of the meat and mash it up with the spoon before giving it to him. Do not add salt as too much salt can lead to kidney problems. Some people add sesame oil but this can make the porridge ‘heaty’ if used too often.VegetablesRoot vegetables are used to add bulk and fibre to the porridge. Must be grated finelyPotato - use only half the potatoSweet potato is very useful if your baby suffers from constipationCarrot should not be used more than 2 times a week as it can make your baby’s skin yellowGreen leafy vegetablesUse only the leaves which must be very finely cut. I prefer to buy the ‘baby’ variety as they are finer and easier for babies to digestBoxthorn leaves or gow gei are high in carotene.Spinach or choy sum is rich in iron he berries can be used to improve eyesightBroccoli/Cauliflower - use only the florets and chop finelyWater cress is cooling so you can neutralize it by using chicken or adding red datesTomato must be finely chopped. You can remove the skin by putting it over a flameLong beans/French beans must be chopped finelyTry to use a wide variety of food so that your child gets used to them quickly and easily. I always combine fish or meat with one root vegetable and one leafy vegetable in the porridge. It also provides a variety of taste and your child will not become picky with food.Food not suitable for use before your baby is 1 year old.If one or both parents have a family history of allergies, asthma or eczema then it would be best to delay these food until the child is 2-3 years old.• Eggs have too many allergens especially in the egg white. Start with the yolk and watch out for allergic reactions, when you introduce eggs to your child.• Honey can harbor spores of Clostridium botulinum, which causes botulism• Citrus fruits or juices may provoke an allergic reaction, especially if allergies run in your family. Do not give sweet juices from a feeding bottle as this leads to early tooth decay.• Peanut butter - Peanuts are highly allergenic. The thick sticky consistency may make it difficult for baby to swallow.• Crustaceans are considered toxic and if given too early can lead to allergies. There is no hurry to introduce this food.• Kai lan/cabbage - the leaves are too fibrous which makes it difficult to breakdown and digest• Nuts or anything that is hard and cannot dissolve easily. A small child does not know how to chew the nut and I have seen too many cases of the nut going into the lungs which resulted in the child having to have part of the lung removed or dying from choking.Signs of an allergic or bad reaction to food include vomiting, diarrhea, rash, swelling, abdominal pain, cough, crankiness, excessive gas, stomach bloating, hives, itching and runny nose. Check with the paediatrician in case your baby needs medication to treat the reaction. Shortness of breath and wheezing are more severe reactions so you should take your baby to his paediatrician immediately. Symptoms often show up within a few hours of eating.From 10 months onwards, you can start offering other types of food such as noodles but it must be cut up finely so that baby will not choke. If the noodles are salty, rinse it out with boiled water before cutting it. You can also offer bread and sliced cheese but make sure that they are cut into smaller pieces so they do not become a choking hazard. Initially, you have to feed the baby yourself but you can start teaching him to feed himself so that he can do this by the time he is 1 year old. Some children will take to this like a duck to water but some are lazy and will not even try. Do not worry as the objective of this exercise is to provide your baby with the opportunity to develop his skills, not to force them to do things against their will.High chairsOnce your child can sit quite well you can start putting him in a high chair for his meals. This helps to discipline him to sitting in a chair during meal times.I personally find it best to use a high chair that do not have foot rest because there will not be a place for the baby to step on and start climbing out. They are not going to sit for very long so it is alright for their feet to dangle for a while. In fact the babies actually love to swing their feet whilst sitting in the chair.If you feel that your baby needs a tray, then it is best if the tray is detachable which will not knock their heads as with the ones that you have to put over the baby’s head. In fact you do not need to have a tray as the chair can be pushed right up to the dining table so the child can eat from the table. The chairs must have seat straps so that you can strap the baby otherwise they will start trying to climb out when you get up.If your dining area is not very big a booster chair will be ideal because you strap it onto one of your dining chairs. I like this chair because it is portable and is ideal for dining out since you do not know what type of chairs the restaurants provide. It is very light and washable.You should let your child sit with you at the table during meal times so that he learns how to eat at the table. It is easier for him to learn by watching you eat and it gets him used to eating at the table instead of running around with you chasing behind him. Letting him sit at the table also helps to encourage family bonding.A little tip: never make funny faces at food in front of your child, no matter how awful it may look or smell to you. If you do this too often she will imitate you and can become a picky eater.Try not to give your child too much sweet food before 2 years of age.A little tip: when you decide to give sweets to your child, never let him see the original packaging. I always transfer the sweets into a container and Marie did not recognize the sweets when we go shopping so no demands for sweets at the checkout counters. Instead she will ask for her sweeties at the plastic container section and when I show her the empty containers she is quite happy to forget about the sweeties.Do not let your child eat unsupervised in the car. Better still don’t let your child eat in the car at all as the crumbs will attract ants and cockroaches if you do not remove them immediately. If your child is hungry stop at a designated rest area.About the Author:I am a British trained nurse/midwife with over 30 years working experience in UK and Malaysia.

    On Feeding the Hungry
    2007-09-06 06:49:51
    The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "God will question a person on the Day of Resurrection (saying)): 'O son of Adam, You found me starving but you did not feed Me.'The person will say: 'My Lord, how could I feed Thee when Thou art the Lord of the worlds?' (God) will say: 'Didn't you know that a servant of Mine asked you for food but you did not feed him, and were you not aware that if you had fed him you would have found Me by him?'- Holy Prophetic tradition of Sahih Muslim (hadith 1172)In Matthew 25 we read similar: ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink... Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? ... The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brother

    When the child’s first birthday is over, the baby begins to eat anything which can be chewed and swallowed. The parents have the responsibility to take care of the baby and to see to their needs. It is the act of crying that sets the process of respiration going opens up the clogged lungs and infuses oxygen into the blood.

    The basic ingredient in most commercial baby milk preparations is cow’s milk, which has been modified to make it as similar to mother’s milk as possible. It is important that you stick to instructions and do not give more that the amount of milk powder that is recommended. The reason why the baby begins its independent existence with crying is that crying is vitally necessary for it to keep alive.

    Your baby should be free to breastfeed whenever and for as long as it chooses. It is important that the baby not only gets foremilk (rich in carbohydrates, vitamins and proteins, that also helps quench the baby’s thirst), but also get hind milk ( rich in fat and calories). Bottle-feeding may be a direct cause for breastfeeding failure.

    Word of mouth: Feeding the flames
    2007-06-11 14:26:58
    A few of months ago I had some important, and sombre, news to tell a room full about 20 of my former co-workers. After breaking the story to a few people, I soon realised that the story had crossed the room (and been altered slightly) before I had a chance to. Wildfire did not seem like a strong enough word. Pandemic would to be more appropriate. Pandemic – Viral Marketing, well isn’t that a coincidence? A meme is the measurement for smallest amount of transmissible social information. They’re the building blocks of communication and therefore cognitive understanding, and inevitably logic. These tiny packets of information are easily replicable, and multiply to infinite numbers (see Small World Project). These memes are travelling at an ever increasing speed over the Internet and mobile phones. I’ll never forget learning of Steve Irwin's death via a badly Photoshopped email. How did I hear the jokes before the news? How long would it have taken me to find out

    Exclusive Breast-Feeding and HIV Transmission
    2007-04-13 02:57:23
     Sorry about being a bit slack with my posting of late but life has been very hectic for me lately.This isn't a low carb article but it is very interesting all the same and I wanted to share it:Basically what it was about, is the rate of HIV infection in newborns from infected mothers in South Africa and whether exclusive breastfeeding from the infected mother helps or hinders the rate of infections.You would assume that breastfeeding from infected mothers would make things worse yet according to this article these were the statistics: Of the 1372 HIV-infected women, 1132 (83%) chose exclusive breast-feeding. The median duration of exclusive breast-feeding was 159 days (67% for ≥ 3 months; 40% for 6 months). Among exclusively breast-fed infants who were HIV-negative at or after 6 weeks, the cumulative risk for infection after 5 months (i.e., at about 6 months of age) was 4%. Infants who received solids along with breast milk were nearly 11 times more likely than exclusively br

    Proper Care and Feeding of Yourself
    2006-04-13 19:06:00
    Are you properly caring for and feeding yourself? Who are you on the inside and outside? Can you honestly say that you are a child of God? If you can, then a child of God would be in a broad sense who you are? If you are a child of God are you making it your purpose to live your life under the fundamentals of God's philosophy? What is your purpose for you, your family, your marriage, and your life? Once you figure out "who you are" then you will know the proper food to feed yourself with.How is your relationship with others? How would you rate your marriage on a scale from one to ten, with ten being the best? Are you feeding everyone else first and then only getting the leftovers? If so then you are not properly caring for yourself or others. You have to eat first and then give everyone else your leftovers, which consequently multiply into abundance and even taste better.It is absolutely imperative we learn to love our selves so we can become unselfish with others, and that takes place when we understand the spiritual self within us, or rather, recognize the spiritual aspects of who we are. Are you spiritually alert to the presence of the Holy Spirit within you, or are you spiritually deficient? For an example, if you were calcium deficient you would take calcium supplements for your bones and teeth, right? Well what would you do if your mind were spiritual deficient? You would supplement with God's word, right? Or would you seek enlightenment from somewhere else?There is a big difference between just taking supplements to meet a requirement or to accept the supplements as part of your life. In other words, you must accept the fact that if you are calcium deficient that you need calcium for stronger bones; likewise you must accept God's undeniable truths for your happiness and purpose in life. Would this be enough to properly care and feed yourself? Let's take a closer look.It matters a lot where you get your calcium supplements, because most calcium is cooked,

    My lawn needs feeding and overseeding. Which should I do first?
    0000-00-00 00:00:00
    If your lawn has not been fed in the last 4 - 6 months then you should feed it 3 or 4 days before over seeding. For best results spike the lawn first with a fork, down to the depth of the fork tines, every 300mm (1 foot). This will help get the lawn food into the soil where it can be absorbed by the lawns roots. If you have fed your lawn more recently then spike the lawn with a fork and over seed. You should plan to then feed the lawn within the next 4 - 8 weeks.
