Zhengzhou Day 4 - Info from the Update

Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China
Monday Morning, August 27, 2012

This is the information I got in my update yesturday.   Some of it I already knew and some of it needs to be taken with a grain of salt, because Chinese Perspective and American Perspective are DIFFERENT!!
 
1.  She has 3 meals in a day at 8:00am, 12:00 and 6:00pm.  We feed her with spoon.  Her main food is noodles and rice.  She likes meat and potato.  She eats rice cereal sometimes.  Her rice cereal brand is Yili.
 
2.  She has 2 times supplementary food at 10:00am and 4:00pm.  She has small bread and cookies as her supplementary food.  She drinks fruit juice sometimes.  She like Nurti-express and other sweat beverages.  She drinks plain boiled water from a bowl.  She eats fruit such as banana, grape and peach.  She does not like apple.
 
3.  She goes to bed at 9:00pm and wakes at 5:00am.  She takes a nap from 1:00pm to 3pm everyday.  She sleeps throughout the night.  She does not need to be fed during night.  She does not need to be brought to toilet for pee during night.  She wears diaper during night.  She sleeps with her foster mother and sleeps on her back with the light off.  She does not need to fall asleep.

4.  She has one to two BMs in a day usually at 10:00am or in the afternoon.  She does not wear diaper at day time, but wears diaper at night.  She does not need to be held to fall asleep.
***This is from the Chinese Perspective. A child is potty trained and doesn't need a diaper if they know to squat and pee/poop using their split pants.... anywhere they are. One of my travel mates saw a little girl squat in the middle of the Forbidden City.... she finished peeing and her parents picked her up and they kept walking. FYI, she is still not potty trained by American Perspective and she WILL be in diapers.  Even our guide, Yisha, said most of the kids are not American Potty Trained.***
