Just out of interest...

1. When I have a kid, I have to stop speaking in Chinglish because it confuses the child and hinders its language development (and he'll speak Chinglish at school haha). If however I teach him two languages, but speaking them only one at a time, he will be smart enough to know that they are two separate languages and not get them muddled (unlike me).

2. If you keep switching between breastmilk and formula for your baby, you increase its chances of developing lactose intolerance (if you're really curious come and ask me how that happens). Oh and don't ever feed a newborn cow's milk cos it'll make him really sick.

3. It's better to circumcise a baby after they've moved out of nappies so that the healing boy part isn't soaking in, well, what nappies are usually soaked with.

4. When babies breathe quickly their head bobs up and down, so it's heaps easy to count their respiratory rate.

5. People shouldn't have children with their first cousins.

6. Kids who snore are dumber. Medical students who snore have a greater tendency to fail their exams.

7. If you have bad posture, try hamstring stretches. Apparently hamstring tightness can be responsible for lumbar lordosis (ie your tum sticking out like a pregnant woman), which in turn causes thoracic kyphosis (ie hunchback) in order to maintain centre of gravity.

8. Paeds is unleashing my clucky side.

Oh! And one last thing. On Nova the other day it said that there are ten 3-letter-word body parts in the human. I can only come up with 8! Can anyone come up with all 10?
