Good morning mamas

So someone bought a carton of cerelac wheat and milk for me.. To use when Adele completes 4months. The issue is that the lady that sells formula for me said that the wheat is for chubby children and it won't make my princess add weight

Biko how true is this?because I really want her to gain weight

I once heard this wheat and chubby babies gist b4, but I dunno how true it is.
My daughter has refused to be chubby despite all the food i eat, so i dont bother anymore.

See eh, as long as Adele is healthy, it's fine....she may not necessarily be chubby

Please don't start Cerelac till she's at least 5 months and sitting without support

All that one is story, weight adding is a function of many things including genetics. My baby eats Cerelac a lot and is quite weighty. So far she eats very well, quantity and frequency is good and she's hitting her milestones your baby is healthy and fine. Orobo no dey reign again sef, ask Coache Enque

1. This is the story of a mobile baby (or semi mobile) that goes to creche. Home remedies, vitamin c everyday to build immunity. I only go for drugs if the catarrh is thick and yellow (TMI but sign of an infection). Permanent beating is very unlikely
2. How many hours does she go without eating? Maybe try Wellkid, it worked for us. Although no 1 and 2 are ususally the only signs my baby gives when he has malaria. Did they run a test in the hospital before medicating her?
3. Unsweetened yoghurt is fine from now. Ribena me I started at 10 months but some people start earlier. Tea I'm waiting till 1 year but again, some start earlier. I just don't want him getting used to sweet things so I avoid them.

spiceeamiee:
Mamas please I need answers to my questions;

1. Please o, What is the cure for on and off cough a d carttarh? We have been to the hospital and has been given series of drugs but as soon as my baby finishes her medications, max two days we are right back where we started. What can I use to beat this thing permanently?

2. How do I increase my baby's appetite? It's scary now the long hours she goes without eating. Put food in her mouth abd she just leaves it there crying until she is tired and spits it out or you are tired and cleans it off her mouth. I have tried a variety of foods but all to no avail.

3. When can i start giving my baby tea, yoghurt, Ribena, etc? In my quest to get her to eat, I have her some of these once but I wasn t so sure she was upto so I stopped. She is 7months old

Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by hunniesuzie: 12:28pm On Feb 08, 2018
Lol. Experience varies even that won't help you. I may have used an IUCD and it didn't work for me while some other mamas use it and are fine. The things to note are:
* if you had trouble conceiving or are scared you might I don't advise a hormonal method
*if you are prone to being overweight and are not sure you can workout/watch your diet, stick with the non-hormonal method
*for how long do you want to space? If you're doing hormonal that will determine the type of implant
*you can also do the 2/3 months injectables but that's if you have time to go regularly to renew. That one wears off faster sha
*agree whatever it is you choose with your partner

For me, I wanted something long term (at least 2 to 3 years), I didn't want anyone to put hand up my Vee cos I was barely 6 weeks pp, so an IUD was out, I have no weight problems (until I started eating like a thief) and I'm comfortable with hormonal methods - the arm implant was my choice and I have no issues with it so far (I've had it for almost a year)

Thanks ma. We have been taking Vit C daily. No tests were run. Maybe I will ask them to do a malaria test this weekend.

For the food, I was with her Saturday and Sunday and she had her first meal around 12:30pm and that was after I got tired of waiting for her to cry for food. No way this is normal. Will try Wellkid then

The thing is she's chubby but her weight is not high.
Someone said it's because she sleeps through the night(she doesn't wake up to eat or soak) that's why she doesn't have much weight. That 12hrs is too long for a child not to eat.. I dunno how true that is oh

e say light at hand. What is her weight in kg? Check and put your mind at rest. She's over 3 months, count yourself lucky that your baby has started sleeping through the night, we didn't achieve this till I weaned my boy at almost 11 months undecided undecided undecided

I don't even know the one my dd takes lipsrsealed just checked the empty konkon and is cerelac wheat with milk and honey so I don't know if is true. She's not chubby but heavy that you can't carry her for long without telling her to come down and use her leg and waka.
