MojAyo: imagine o,na my mum said,we can be giving him liquid semo,bt I objected,nt my baby,as per d semo with soup,what kind of stew,did my baby need to taste pepper at 6 month,pls elaborate everything to me,and also about d baby cereal,which one can I buy my baby

LaRoyalHighness: I don't know about 'liquid boiled semo inside feeder'.... (Maybe other moms inthe house can confirm that)
I would advise that at 6months, prepare semo like you would eat(a little softer than yours.... make soup and give to your LO. Cook very soft yam, mash and give to baby...

Try very soft indomie, add sardine, mash and give to baby. I can't imagine giving my baby semo to drink. He or she is a human being na.

*and about water, give baby as much as he/she wants...

MojAyo: dear,in d yam,I shouldn't put salt or sugar,and also when its done,can I blend d yam for my baby also to give,and pls name d best baby food I can give my baby,and how is it taken,is it 3 times daily

LaRoyalHighness: Cook yam VERY soft, you can add 'very little salt' put inside plate and mash with a fork.. serve with tomato sauce on it. (or whatever sauce you eat in your house. (lol@sugar no abeg)

@Lunch! You can pound yam, semo, foofoo and serve with soup.

@dinner! Boil very soft indomie with Titus fish,plus egg yolk mash and serve.

(In between these meals, if the child is hungry, cereal, pap, milk with bread comes in)... Do you get?

MojAyo: dear,tanx for all ur explanation,is it everyday d solid food should be given to d baby like dat or it must be changed,dear,u amuse me with bread,can a child at 6month eat bread

LaRoyalHighness: Lol.. Don't bother yourself too much... with time, every thing will fall into its place.

You don't eat one particular food every morning, afternoon and night... Right? Nevermind...With time, you will know what food your child prefers and you will adjust accordingly

Lol..@bread! At six month, I put milk inside my child's cup, I shread pieces of bread into his/her cup of milk and serve her with a spoon. Remember I told you I give my children whatever I eat from six months and they are doing just fine.

MojAyo: Hello mothers,my 22weeks old baby has an eczema on his face before which is known as eela,I took him to d doctor,my baby doctor prescribed an antibiotics for him(Zinnat)which when he use as prescribed,the eczema went away,and also then,my mum was using toto to bath him then because of d eczema,it went away,after some while ,my baby started scratching his eye(one of his eyes),I think its an allergy,which I stopped using d toto for him on his face,and started using baby acqeous cream as soap for him on his face,then d scratching of d eye went away,I just notice some 2days frm now,there si something like heat or ezcema on his face which I can't describe,and it make him to be irritated by him crying,it makes some part of his face to a little little red,pls mothers,what can I use for him

corrall: Well, from 6 months i bought a seperate blender for her food and then i gradually introduced -

- rice cereal maybe cerelac
- birds custard with milk
- semo and okro soup with titus fish
- pureed banana
- gradually introduced quaker oats (grounded into powder form) with milk
- peeled beans with titus fish, crayfish, and palmoil.
- from 9 months i started cooking chicken/beef, carrots, maybe tomatoes, and grind together to be pasty and add to very soft noodles or mashed potatoes or mashed yam or mashed sweet potatoes.

I also used to put any other soup in her mouth, even if it had a little pepper. now she does not refuse food even if there is pepper in it.

She did'nt use to eat a lot of it so i used to give her formula and bosom as well.

corrall:

I think you should take him back to the hospital, since it is recurring.

MojAyo: u knw what dear,I'm confused,my baby will soon be 6month,the only thing I give my baby is breastmilk and 30mls of water a day,my mother said its good to give baby liquid boiled semo,dat it will be inside a feeder,I'm afraid of giving my baby dat,pls I want u to tell me what best baby food I can start giving my baby,and solids,with also d measurement of water I can be giving him at 6month,pls help me out here

MojAyo: okay dear,like what kind of his solid food I can use it to blend

ijeoma2728:
No cereal @ all he prefers homemade food.esp irish potatoes.is it okay for him to take just bossom milk and solids?cos he doesn't take formula even in a sippy cup,the highest is 2oz I've. Tried nan nd sma.d only time he takes formular is d little I add wen I'm making his solids sometyms.
Thanks 2 all dat reply me, im rily grateful

MojAyo: hello,should I put pepper in my babys mouth at six month to taste,and should I also be adding it to his solid food from dat 6month,I need more explanation on dis

corrall:

I did not say put pepper in the baby's mouth.

What i said is when i eat soup, apart from her okro, it could be vegetable soup, or egusi soup, the watery part of the soup, i give her to taste, trying to make her get accustomed to the food we eat, because right now, she is 1 year 6 months, and she eats everything we eat, we dont say 'oh because of the child in the house i wont put pepper in food'. it worked for me.

As for her own meals, when i cook meat/chicken, (boneless chicken) i dice it into cubes, and boil as i would boil my chicken but without all the plenty spices, put onions, dry pepper, a cube of maggi, (some people say it is not okay, but the food always tasted bland, so i use it), diced carrot, diced tomatoes, and then i blend it together. the food will not be pepperish, but it's there. same goes for the beans.

cereals, oatmeal, custard and banana goes with milk.

That was what i did, i hope you understand.

MojAyo: yeah I do,bt wanna ask u one question,when I carry my baby to d health centre for d vitamin A supplementation at 6months,if I ask them there,can they tell me what baby food and solids I can be giving d baby after exclusive breast feeding,and u knw those people use to be vry busy with people,its a public health centre for babies,pls reply back,I'm just afraid of introducing any food when my baby reach 6month without consulting d Peidrician

olakeeton: yes they will because at my baby's 6month visit to the immunization clinic, they lectured us. We had a weaning class where we were taught how to introduce food to our babies.

MojAyo: okay,bt re u sure they do it at every immunization clinic

corrall:

MojAyo: okay,bt re u sure they do it at every immunization clinic
