Good Morning Daddies and mumies here.Our baby is 6months plus,a baby boy.My major matter ;he seldomes sleep long, his sleep is max 30minuts and he's already awake.(2) he eats a lot oo!! Thank God my spouse is a bit chubby,else this young man would have dropped down terribly, her shape and size.He sucks alot,we just concluded our EXCLUSIVE LAST MONTH,and already trying out our dark grain(the Fulani type which is the best for kids),but he hardly takes it ,one will have to bring up al the rhymes he or she learnt at pry school before small uncle sips a little amount of the pap.Abeg,what are your advice, I need to him to start sleeping like normal human beings in Africa ooo!my spouse too also need go old sleep .Had to leave one BRM for them to the other room when night vigil became too bearing on me despite I am a clergy my self.How do we get him to start taking the pap well ?? Do we start ADDING HONEY /GLUCOSE ? HOW DE REDUCE D BREAK MILK 24HRS EATING ??
Good Afternoon.

Try to establish a routine before sleep time for,example a warm bath plus baby massage then story time and a cuddle.Baby will get used to it but if you do different things each time they tend to get confused.

Also after the meal do you burb till you hear gas escape?.I only ask as you said he eats plenty it can be quite uncomfortable and then he cannot sleep.

I do not know how normal human beings sleep but i can advise that you do not give your baby honey till they turn one year old.

thank you ma'am.first paragraph well understood.will try lecture madam over that .quite surprised that the kids too understand patterns and time table !!. On 2nd paragraph,we notice he eats very little at a time and this can suck intermittently.He hardly sucks for long,(I also noticed the father too does same ,my eating habit hmm..I can't sit down to eat a load at once no matter how hungry I am, I would have to stop by a little and return back to meals again). Thirdly ,his sleep is quite short , say 25-30mins max, and bro wakes up to meal.For days now he doesn't take afternoon naps, he stays wide alert , disturbing the mum to the extent she can't even have time to cook or wash(if there are no helps at home ). I lend helping hands in babysiting as I am a bit good in that area whenever I am at home and sometimes do some men's kinda cooking before going to work,He is just very active and his sleep is quite short ,these are my areas of concern.How can the mum solve this puzzles ?

Yep kids understand patterns and time table and the sooner you start the sooner you can rest.

Be happy he is active that is a good thing.
Well done daddy,and you are co parenting too not “helping” as the child belongs to you both.

There really is no magic formula and the puzzle does not have a solution just a bit of tips here and there to help.

You have said it all.

When you sing all the church songs and run out add your tribal songs plus nursery rhymes from when you were in School.

Raising a child is no joke and am proud of you,mum must be too.

Is there a relative to help besides yourself?.You sound a tad stressed especially when you said considering my office.

What’s PEP please?
I’m looking to get nice clothes for my baby girl

PEP is a store,mostly for children's clothes. I think I have seen one along Allen avenue in Ikeja last time I was there. There is also one in Enugu ShopRite. I think there are many PEP stores. Just ask around.
You can also try online jumia,you can see some unique stuffs for your girl. If you are using jumia,always check the size chart,it will show you how they grade the sizes based on weight,then you can compare with the size of the cloth available at the moment,then you can step up a bit on the size so your little one can wear it for longer.

Kudos to you. Keep helping your darling wife.

Try this, whenever he seems sleepy,keep him flat on his tummy. Babies sleep a little longer on their tummy than their back.

Also,stop using a bottle to feed him pap,try and switch to a cup and spoon; measure his normal milk volume,add milk or whatever you want him to drink the pap with,then add little pap to the made mixture so that the pap is flowing,not very thick,give him with spoon. After 30mins,give him water.
Allow him to play or rest,then rock him to sleep. Babies tend to sleep more on very full stomach.
I hope this helps.

The issue with Jumia and most online stores is what you see is not always what you get especially garment textures.
Whereabouts are you based and how old is your little girl now?.
Maybe go into your local market and have a walk around,you are bound to find something.

Good evening dear fam.
I have a two years old son. He recently celebrated his two years birthday. Just this evening I and my wife noticed that his testicles and scrotum is swollen. It was my mother
Inlaw who first noticed it then but it wasn't this big as at then.
He doesn't really feel any pains.
What could possibly be the issue here and what's the possible solution.

Please I need your advice.

Thank you.

Yes you can.Perhaps baby is ready to start weaning too you can try mashed potatoes mixed with the milk like a pudding which is more filling.

Hi Mum you should start by 6months.
I use Johnson,s baby oral cleaner for ages 0-3 but with warm water not toothpaste as most start from ages 1year old.
There are other baby brushes and silicon finger soft brush like the ones Dr brown and chicco make.
If you cannot find buy some gauze at your pharmacy and wrap round your finger and dip in warm water,then gently rub babies gums and teeth.

I don't know if it is late but I suggest you take TIGERNUT in any form! Make milk out of it, eat it raw like that or the powereded form. Just take enough Tigernut, you will see massive difference

Rob kwa!!!. Sorry ma if i might sound offensive but some of the things you have been posting that you administered to your child seems very odd. I hope you dont end up harming that innocent baby.

Exclusively breastfed babies can go several days without pooping. Its totally normal
