How can a child gain weight? What do you feed your child?

I just started to try si sen on them now. Quite ex, $50 for a small portion. But if it works, definitely will be back to this thread to upldate all of u.

hi nonKiasu, where did you buy your sisen? I bought it from EYS. Very cheap leh, around $8-$10 for a jar (like the normal jam jar size).

I bought Choon Hoe \"kai wei\" powder to feed my children. It will booast their appetite

My ex-colleague recommended me and bought it for me. I think its bec there are 4 ingredients: si sen, pao shen, dong cao and mai zai. After this, I think I will just buy the si sen only like yours.

Is it 'workable'? Where to buy and how much?

thanks for the info, no wonder much more x becos of pao shen and dong cao (cordyceps right?). The EYS one is purely the si sen powder.

yes, cordyceps (in long, dong chong xia cao). But si sen alone will increase the appetite, rite? So don't need so much 'tonic', isn't it?
Btw, my ex-colleague bought for her grandson. She's working to past-time only. So guess she is rich to buy such expensive tonic for his only grandson. I can't afford to follow her 'standard'.

Yah, same here, very siong on our pockets if I include cordyceps.

Just to share, my son is having very good appetite still & I did not realise that he gained so much weight until I injured my shoulder while carrying him last night… Now my shoulder is so painful! Can’t drive…

Really :!: Congrats! I mean to the weight gaining part. I am sure this is a happy injury What is the wt b4 taking the tonic and now? How long have your son been taking it? What is the ingredient? I am thinking that if just si sen alone is not effective, I will have no choice but buy the expensive one lor.
It's so exciting and happy for u.

updates... gave my ds the sishen powder from EYS but so far no effect.


He's down with the flu now so my efforts may go down the drain again...

nonKiasu,
Totally understand your feelings. As for your concern over your sons' weights, it is fine as long as their mental development are on track. I don't need DS to be really fat but just want him to be bigger, or at par with those his age so he won't be picked on by bullies at school.

Desertwind,
Really envy you for having a hi-growth kid.
Gotta tell him to be gentle with kids that are smaller than him tho
