~You're The Jam to My Jelly~

Since the past 2 weeks mama buatkan Z homemade jelly. Tapi ini bukan sembarangan Jelly, ini jelly ber magnesium :D.

Mama read a lots about the goodness of magnesium, especially how it could help with the anxiety - sosial, loudness, laughing, and teeth grinding - in Z's case. Sebab tu mama nak try bagi Z magnesium supplement. for the moment mama just kasik Floradix about 5ml (62.5mg) per day. Mama pilih Floradix sebab it based from nature.. And not that strong in my opinion. Mama blom berani lagi nak kasik magnesium lain. lagipun Floradix ni liquid based and ada rasa buah2an.. 

Mama rasa sedap jer taste nya (mama pun kena makan jugak time pms tu..), tapi not for Z! Mesti tutup mulut rapat2 bila mama nak suap. So nak tak nak, mama kenalah being creative. Sebabkan ia dah ada rasa buah2an, so mama buat lah jelly. Mama masak agar2 and gelatine (halal), then campurkan dengan homemade fruit juice (pear/apple). Bila dah agak sejuk sikit, baru mama masukkan Floradix. Yummy!! Z loves it!

Tapi stok agar2 n gelatine dah nak habis, kena beli kat kedai Pakistan le pulak. The only problem is, they come with flavoured. Ada tambahan gula, pewarna, perasa and all.. hmm.. Kena suruh mak teh post from Msia la nanti..

Then, mama juga dah start buat homemade jam over the weekend. This time mama buat apricot jam (less sugar). Sebabnya nak kasik Z makan with his NVD Nightime supplement. Selama ni mama cuma add to his dinner, but actually it is not advisable to add with other protein base food, nanti kurang lah effect dia.. Sebab tu lah mama try kasik with jam :)

Oh btw, Z dah on magnesium for nearly 2 weeks dah now. Nampak la dah berkurang sikit aktivity teeth grinding.. but still 'krup krap' lagi lah time dia tengah khusyuk buat something tu.. In term of anxiety pun nampak la sikit improvement. Sikit jer la.. Contohnya masa physio datang last week, dia tak nangis pun, but asik berpeluk dengan mama jer la.. That's a lot better than crying nob-stop for the whole session actually..:) Masa pegi housewarming party kat rumah aunty rini weekend haritu pun agak ok jugak.. Boleh bertahan nearly an hour without crying walaupun orang bising2. Lepas sejam, dia dah mula buat perangai lah. Alhamdulillah.. Its a lot better :D

Severin Yogurt Maker

Next project is homemade soya yogurt! Z mmg  makan yogurt everyday. Sangat2 costly sebenarnya. Kalau mama boleh buat sendiri, dah boleh cut cost gitu. Now tengah survey inexpensive yogurt maker. Hopefully menjadik ler.. :)
