pretty trust: Pls house any advice on baby milk or food I can buy to make my baby get fat,she is 7mths now n I need a milk to mk her fat

Milk alone won't mak her fat.Prepare pap wit jero&dawa.Tym his/her feedin (try 3hrly feedin).Frisocream&cerelac wil also help but start addin natural food:yam,potato&d rest

Jade William:
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

I discovered she liked golden morn wt bananas when she was abt 7 months.and she's bn on it since then until early dis yr she suddenly stopped likin it so I only gv her ocasionaly.she likes okro soup doesn't like fruits.hates anythin dat will make her chew so prefers tea n other drinks. i dread it when its feedin tym cos we can take as much as 2hrs to finish each meal

Ahhh! U'r lucky ur baby likes okro so wot ar u complainin abt?U can giv her dat wit semo or Amala as lunch or dinner;giv her tea.Does sh lik cerelac?d most important thng is 2giv her balanced diet.Me I hate fruits too.Giv her juice dat's made frm fruits.Don't beat urself.There's no right or wrong or perfection wit motherhood.U keep learnin 4eva.

Hello mamas, this thread is so educating, keep up the good work.
Pls i don't know what to do, my daughter kinda chews on the nipple of her feeding bottle instead of sucking on it. I've tried many times and she keeps doing the same thing, I'm using Tommee tippee bottles, is the problem with bottles or what?

Jade William:
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

She is 3 months old already.Is it not too late?Pls can I just go into any general hospital?What steps will I take?

@jade, thx so much for d encouragement.I do make okro for her on a reg basis.jus finding out if I could get more helpful tips to boost her weight . @ limsy how old is ur baby? if she's stil an Infant then she might likely be teething. u could change to d beak type of bottle tip.its plastic and won't com apart when chewed on

Its not d feedin bottle.Its usually teethin dat maks dem chew d mouth.Its either u get those cups wit plastic or stonger teat not feedin bottle teeth or d ones wit plastic mouth.My baby does hers as fun then I stopped usin feeder 4her&started usin cup.

Ok abt d weight.I realised dat as children grow,they bcom slender.I knw dat pap as in corn&jero (prepared wit beverage esp milo or ovaltin&milk&soyabeans is good too) makes them add weight but d thng is,does sh lik pap.Also indomie cooked wit myonnaise (bama butter) or bread wit bama butter makes kids add a lot of weight.U knw bama butter is vry fattenin.Also viju milk;hollandia yoghurt&soyamilk is vry fattenin&also cerelac&nutrend.Also d hollandia milk is fattenin (u can add milo 2it as in u add som of d hollandia milk in2 her cup of tea).2ndly do u ppl hav body in ur family&ur husbnd's family? My neices ar so lekpaish yet they ar heavy feeders but vry vry vry intelligent.Wen u c my sister&her husbnd,they're ova slim so their kids took afta dem.I lov 2c chubby children in church&so on.Al I want is a brainy&a well trained&respectful kid.That's al dat matters

Also giv her thngs inbtw meals lik afta breakfast,u can giv her yoghurt or viju afta a while dats if sh likes 2tak it.Then afta her lunch,u giv her tea&afta dinner,u giv her somthng else.Mayb biscuit dats coated wit chocolate.U knw chocolate is fattenin too.Som ppl just giv kids breakfast,lunch&dinner&dats it.Those thng burn&digest fast&d body wil start usin up stored fat.Giv thngs inbtw.Sh's off age,it won't harm her system.Also fry egg 4her using butter (its fattenin too).Wen sh goes 2sch,put those thngs sh tak easily tak on her own without d teacher forcin her 2eat it cos most of these teachers ar so over worked dat they don't hav d zeal 2force ur child or go extra length 2mak sure sh consumes al her food so they'l just pour it in2 d dustbin.These foods ar cheap.A carton of hollandia dats 24 pieces is just 1400;Viju&soyamilk is how much?d biggest bama butter is 600&d smal one is 200&wil stay 4long if left in d fridge;pap (u can mak on ur own);crate of egg is how much.Mix varieties 4her.There're chocolate biscuits dat's sold 3 for #50&d carton dat's 100 is 1k.Sh'l definately add weight.Goodluck

Another method of feedin her is:wot does sh like watchin? Is it barney or cartoon or music?Durin feedin tym,put dat thng 4her&sit her on her chair.Sh'l b watchin it&eatin.My baby likes Limpopo&Psquare's azonto&Davido so once u put it 4her&sh's carried away,sh'l open her mouth 2even ant dat u want 2put in2 her mouth.Sh got 2lik them ova tym.&Sh also likes any programme dat sh sees children (below 3) crawling or runnin around&wil b callin ''baby! Baby! Sh's not really in2 Barney.I think it scares her.Keep puttin thngs 4her&observe d one sh has interest in.Myn also likes 2operate d ipad so giv her dat 2distract her&feed her incase there's no light.I hope ur daughter's sch put children programmes 4dem too

@jade.thx a bunch..d tips r very helpful.she likes music and disney toons too so most tyms we do dat too. I will b more patient wt her cos most tyms m in a hurry to get other things done since I don't hv anyone to help wt her at home...ur baby sure sounds like she's fun to be wt

Hello mothers,pls my babies are less dan a month old,I giv dem Nan1 plus breast milk,one of d boys dsnt suck 4 lng,mayb after 2 mintues,he takes hs mouth off d n*ples,bt he takes d formula wel,do I av 2 b worried?...my second question is dat I heard Nan1 causes constipation in babies,ao true is dat?and if I wnt 2 chang it,what other formula can I feed dem with?

Congrats darling.

On the skin thing, i think you should use coconut oil. Natural coconut o, made at home. that is what i use for my baby and her skin is glowing everyday.

Jade William:
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

Hi Jade, i find this post really insightful. Please what can be compared to mudu in Lagos? maybe derica tin? as in the big one o.

i felt guinea corn is also corn so i never thought about including corn in the combo.

Normally, the guinea corn is soaked for like 3 days, but u r suggesting one day is that really okay?

I have this orange flavoured seven seas cod liver oil , i guess that is the one for babies, but i am currently giving her abidec? what do you think?

Jade William:
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?

Thanks, i will try this measurement.

Chicky-Girl congrats on the safe delivery of ur twins. You can also try ori (shea butter) mixed with coconut oil. Its very good. That's what I use on boys and their skin is superb.

Try using ABF cream,it works wonders,and pls don't do the AC thing,ur baby dosnt nid it,esp in this cold weather we're aving,make sure his clothes are cotton and breathable,discontinue the use of anyclothes wth wool in ot(caps,shawls etc,u can use a flannel instaed)
Not too sure bout d lime afectin ur baby,but I doubt it

Since d other twin likes feeder,express&giv him.My baby prefered feeder wen sh was young so &giv.NAN causes constipation.That I experienced but its betta ur baby constipates than purge.Do d normal scoopin.Not a full spoon but a leveled spoon.Mayb we were ova addin d milk or doin somthng wrong but my baby can stay 5days without pooin.Another good milk is SMA gold(made my baby purge&sh rejected it but took NAN til sh got 2a year then I switched 2peak 123&Complan) but there lots of imitations in d markt cos I don't knw if I bought d imitation.Another good one dat my anty used is Isomil (it contains soya (my baby didn't really lik it).Aptamil is so so so good&wil mak ur baby brainy&plumpy but its damn 2expensive.Its abt 4,500 cos its frm UK&u hav twins.If u hav somone in UK,d persn can send it 2u.It shld b cheaper there.I'l find out frm my frnds there.U hav twins so don't go 4thngs dat drag ur husbnd dwn cos pampers alone can b exhorbitant.Another good one is Emfamil&similac.Also frm UK.They mak kids super smart.

My new born nephew is hairy too so we were tyin it wit ribbon up until we went 4 6wks immunization&d paed asked us if there's any law or medical reason dat doesn't permit trimmin of newborn's hair as it grows so trimed d hair.As 4d sweatin,whch cream ar u usin 4dem.Mayb its d cream.Mayb its nature but I used blue seal vaseline 4long til my baby started havin littl rashes so paed said I shld use Sebamed cream&soap whch is wot sh's usin til now.Congrats on ur twins.May God giv u d strength&enablement 2tak good care of dem.One kid cam b crazy frustratin not 2mention 2kids.Pls get as much helpers as u can esp relations so dat u won't break dwn physically or mentally

Ori is good oh! But it so darkened my baby so my paed recommended Sebamed.Sh's so fair&glitters.I don't knw if its d sebamed cleansin milk dat's maintainin her complexion cos in my family,we're fair too.I stopped it somtym ago&sh toned down so. Its either maintainin it or makin her shine cos my sister's kids ar dark&sh uses Johnson's so try it out.although I use johnson's baby soap wit honey on her too cos d sebamed soap doesn't foam so u'l use d soap for 5days&each cos 1k.imagine dat.Goodluck

Mudu is equivalent to d biggest derica tin cup.A mudu shld giv u abt 9cups of guinea corn.Guinea corn is not corn.It reddish in colour&millet is light yellow or brownish in colour.D corn is d one dat's soaked for 3days while millet&guinea corn is saoked 4 24hrs per say.They're legumes&highly proteinous.Somtyms,I add groundnut 2her pap 2 cos kids need lots of protein.My baby is taller than her agemates.I also add soyabeans 2her pap wen givin her.Don't judge me.I started givin her honey frm 5mths til date.Heard it sharpens d brain.
Anyway,how I do myn.I soak d corn Thursday,add d millet&guinea corn on Friday&grind on saturday then seive;put in a bag,allow d water 2drain out over nyt then tie them&put in d freezer

I second this! I make mine personaly and mix with his cream and his skin is ever glowing!! I think it also prevent spots, rashes and some other skin infections 'cause they hardly appear on his skin only once when he ate a 'fake' cereal.

I also want to start taking lime every morning and nyt just 2 watch my weight, so I want to know if it will affect my baby.
