Mummys in the house,thanks for your assistance! You women are really great,God will bless you all..I have started giving my 6months girl guinea corn and she likes it,though at times I will have to force her to eat it.
My question is how can I introduce rice to her,Is there rice flour? Or I should try meshed rice for her as I intend to be giving her home made food for now.
How can I be giving her fruits? What are the processes involved.
Please I need suggestions.Thanks

Hello parents in the house. There has been lots of questions regarding baby food, I stumbled upon this thread in d food section. I bet it'll answer lots of our questions regarding baby food .

@bunlizlaw
Rotavirus isn't given in general hospitals, just private ones at an extra cost. My hospital costs 6500 for d vaccine and 7000 for pneumococcal conjugate. Other vaccines not offered in GH are chicken pox (12k at my hosp.) and yellow fever. That long queue at GH was too irritating for M̶̲̅ε̲̣ jare, had to switch to private

bunlizlaw: .I chose not to go to general hospital cos of their annoying delays.

general hospital is at my doorstep my i dot go there for anytin,i dot like how they attend to people

I have found the above website very useful in introducing solds to my baby.

adetunrayo: Hi sweet mothers,quite a while.my issue is about my 4 months baby prefaring 1 bosom to d other.I noticed this when she was a month plus.Now she doesn't want 2 suck the right breat @ all except d left.This has made d bosom smaller than d other, plus low milk productn.I just want 2 know if there is no side effect.I guess I hav been used 2 d left bosom too.I we equally want 2 know what else I could do 2 increase my milk prod. It just 2 low,I tried 2 support with formular cos my baby isn't satisfy.thanks

My own problm was worst than urs.Wen sh was born,sh refused 2suck d breast so I was expressin&givin wit feeder whch wasn't easy then wen sh turned 6wks,sh started suckin.Afta a while,sh refused suckin d right breast no matter wot we did so dat one dried up.If I tel ppl I breastfed dis chick for a 14mths wit only d left breast,they don't believe although I started supplementin wen I resumed work but sh took only BM once I was back frm work.2increase my milk flow,I used 2tak a lot of fluid:Malt,kunu&water (kunu especially whch made me gain a lot of weight esp around d tommy)&so on.So wen d breast is 2full&d baby is sleepin,I'l express&store in d fridge so one breast eventually served a purpose so don't beat urself up.These kids won't frustrate us at al.These's always a way out

slim05: Hi everyone, my 6 weeks old baby has had cold, stuffy nose for about 2 weeks now and sleeping at night is always uncomfortable, we went to d hospital and we were given vitamin c, can I use otrivine nasal drops for him?

I'l rather advice u 2do steam inhalation wit silverbird ointment&b givin d vit C.It'l clear wit tym&patience

pretty trust: Pls house I need urgent response,my 7mths baby is having serious rashes all over her body expecially her face in it is inching her I don't no wat to use and some pple said it is becos of her teething dt it will go but am really confuse if she is reacting to somtin

My baby's teethin coms wit rash&fever.I giv her 2.5mls (wen sh was below 1yr) of piriton mornin&nyt cos it can b crazy itchy&i giv ibuprofen 4d fever.It gets betta afta 4-5days.U just hav 2wait it out.I also apply RISING powder 2her skin.It helps wit d rash too

slim05: Thanks everyone, I have come again oh, please what do i use for colic pain for a 6 weeks old baby, he's uncomfortable, added to the cold and stuffy nose. I feel for my baby seriously. He's on my back now seems like that works but I can't back him all night.

Colic pain has no medical remedy.Just lie d baby facin dwn on ur lap.He'l sleep off then wen he's sleepin at nyt,lie him on his tommy&mak sure he/sh burps afta suckin.

ify's world:
Hi all. @Omogemi and itsmelex. I don't have a first hand experience on Nta and Umafor. But its always associated with babies being fussy, restless, feverish, inadequate weight gain and weight loss. Mostly, de diagnosis is made by de herbalist.

My frnd said Nta is Marasmus in english&is protein-energy malnutrition&d symptoms u described isn't wot I read up.If her baby isn't addin weight&there's no underlyin medical condition,then sh shld look at her family or husbnd's family&d d baby's diets.Local foods might not b enuf&how often does sh or her nanny feed d child.My sister&her husbnd ar so so slender so their children ar always thin but vry vry vry brainy.They tak d most expensive foreign milk&cereals so let ur dr advice her

honeyyetty: Hi mums,pls my baby has bruise in her bums atfirst I tot it was rashes then I started applying ori and then soak her bums in warm water and dettol but no changes. Pls urgent help

Apply a lot of vaseline b4 wearin his pampers&leave his bum naked atleast 6hrs durin d day so dat fresh air wil help wit d healing.Don't use wipes 4now.Rather wash him up wit water wen he poos

OMO LADY: Good day mothers. My baby completed one year old today and was taken to the hospital as requested to be brought.

She is a CONSUMER(thats she eats good food and a lot)i dnt just know why she is so small. Pls Advice

How big ar u& ur husbnd or ur relations?Was sh a premature or full term baby?U can giv her bcomplex 2xs a day,it'l improve her apetite then u tym how often u feed him/her&give lots of beverages too

I'm very concern, can someone give me an advice or remedy to help heal my baby with this uncomfortable situation? she is fed on Breast Milk and NAN 1, her mom tried feeding her with breast milk alone but she keeps crying like she wasn't satisfied,please Somebody help.

That NAN gives constipation,My baby was on NAN 1 wen my baby refused 2suck&d baby milk wasn't flowin well cos sh wasn't suckin directly frm d breast rather was expressin.My baby wud stay 5days without pooing.I gav her orange but sh refused 2tak.I started outtin oil in2 her bum bum(using syringe) whch worked.It stimulats her 2stool&maks it less painful

I was like that when growing up o, infact was lepa till I was 15 and there was nothing wrong with me. I just hated eating which I still do. I started gaining weight at 16 and till now still battling to stay slim. Some pple don't just like food. Just make sure she gets her 5 a day.

joker5180: how many babies hv u seen with that nd over what period of time?

Forget medical texts.We're talkin frm experience here.Drs don't knw it al.My own baby brings out rashes while teethin;each&evry single one of her teeth til now.I use rising powder&atimes piriton cos it itches her.My nieces used 2hav boil wen teethin&my collegue's children used 2hav cough&once the teeth erupts d gum,al these symptoms just go away

corrall: When can one start giving babies beverages like milo?

I started at 7mths + uptil now.Sh's ova a year now

Chicken pox 12k? I paid 3500 at govt hospital.Don't rememba payin 4yellow fever.Paid 5500 for Rotavirus.Didn't giv pneumococcal cos my paed said its not necessary since d baby is not a sickler&DPT covers d chest s**ts.If u go early&get numba,u don't hav 2queue up 4immunization.I trust govt hospital vaccines cos they hav steady light&their cold chain system is deck.Pls ask ur paed if u can stil giv rotavirus vaccine at dis age cos its vry vry important.My baby neva stooled 4one day&wen d baby starts sch,any child dat's infected wit d rotavirus,sh won't contact I gues

Jade William:
Another thng is:wot's ur child's genotype? Also try givin ur baby Seven seas cod liver oil.U can add it 2her pap if sh doesn't lik takin it.Prepare corn wit jero&dawa&b givin her too.Sh'l add weight.Use complan beverage.Its highly nutricious&had different flavours

Thanks madam> i have looked for this seven seas cod liver oil for children. i guess it is syrup but wat i do come across is the capsule can i give her that without the shell? Pls what is jero&dawa? When u mean corn i guess u mean ogi that is pap?

Jade William:
How big ar u& ur husbnd or ur relations?Was sh a premature or full term baby?U can giv her bcomplex 2xs a day,it'l improve her apetite then u tym how often u feed him/her&give lots of beverages too

She is not a premature but she weighed 2.6kg at birth and till now she still uses mini pampers.

Wow.Dynamogen is a vry good multivit.My neice was lik dat.We'l use cane 2force her 2eat semo&other food but d cry wil not even allow her 2add weight but I realized that its frm her dad's side.Her dad can stay days without eatin.So wot we observed was wot sh liks.Sh liks cripsy,tea&somother foods so c if u'l observ wot ur daughta liks.At a certain stage,their body adjust 2multivits&can't do much 2stimulate apetite.Keep tryin out thngs:gold,cornflakes;fish,meat,chicken,fruits;yoghurt.anyone sh likes,stick 2it til further notice

maxiflexi: My daughter was born with lots & lots of hair. By 3 months she had lost it all & now d hair refuses to grow. She has just a small patch on d middle of her head & is bald on both sides & round the back. Pls, how do I get her hair to grow

Apply ori.Get d original one.D hair wil grow back.Its al abt patience though.Don't b freaked out

Hi Jade,

i guess it will probably be very light right? maybe 2 scoops of her milk to half teaspon maybe? what do you think?

I started wit 60mls;Use d spoon u c in NAN/SMA,add 2scoops of milo&a scoop of milk of warm water.Myn wud finish it&want more but I don't cos I was watchin 2c if it'l purge her so I don't giv much.I giv it mainly at nyt wen I'm tired of breastfeedin&once in d aftanun.As sh grew,I increased d quantity&spoons of milk&milo.Sh refused milk early as in d milk mixed in water but wit d tea,sh's gettin d milk.I prefer milo 2ovaltin cos milo contains more nutrients(read wot's written on theirpack/tin)&is less sugary but wen sh got 2a year,I switched 2complan.Pls don't add sugar 2her tea ok?

OMO LADY:

Thanks madam> i have looked for this seven seas cod liver oil for children. i guess it is syrup but wat i do come across is the capsule can i give her that without the shell? Pls what is jero&dawa? When u mean corn i guess u mean ogi that is pap?

No no.Don't giv d capsule.Seven seas codliver oil syrup is evrywhere.Its vry vry thick&smells lik fish.Patiently find it.Its vry vry good.It helps wit immunity,eyesight,bone,apetite&prevents bowl leg.One of my collegue's baby's leg started bowin at 11mths but wen sh started d cod liver oil,d boy's leg bcam normal afta a while.My girl doesn't eat well but wen u carry her up,sh's so heavy.I started givin it 2her at 4mths.I used 2add it in her (a cap full 2xs a day)
Dawa is guinea corn&jero is millet&then yellow corn.I buy 3mudu of ogi;2mudu of guinea corn&2mudu of millet.Soak d corn 2day,add d jero&dawa d next day then grind al of dem 2gether nxt 2moro(day 3) then seive;tie in waterproof,d quantity sh'l tak in a day&store on d freezer&it'l last for mths

OMO LADY:

She is not a premature but she weighed 2.6kg at birth and till now she still uses mini pampers.

Lik I asked,ar u guys fat(u&ur boo)?2ndly wot does sh eat?Elaborate on that then we'l knw wot 2suggest.is sh just on natural food.Stil wearin mini pampers? Wow.At 1yr,sh shld weigh atleast 10kg for a girl&12kg for a boy atleast.Let me knw.2ndly,is sh thrivin well.Has sh started walkin?Lik I met a lady&her kid at d immunization centre;at 1yr 6mths,d boy just makin effort 2walk

Dainy1: Hellow mothers, how do u see a woman who stop bosom feed by 3months due to the nature of her job, will the baby grow healthy at all? will the baby be fine? is any mother in the house doing that? who do u do it?

How com resumin work made u stop bf?Can't u express&keep in d fridge or bf wen u com back frm work?D child wil grow healthy 4sure but mak sure u wash&sterilize ur feeder urself&observe d quantity of milk ur child takes cos if u leav d child 4d nanny,d child might not b takin d milk&wen u com back,ur nanny wil lie dat he/sh ate well
