eagleeye2:
hello mamas,
my baby will soon be three months, and my wife wants to supplement breast milk with another food.
My question is this; apart from Pap (akamu) what other food supplements can we give him?

3 months is too early. Wait till at least 4 months and start with rice cereal then maybe oatmeal cuz it's easily digested

Hello mums, does Enfamil have follow-on milk for 6 month old baby? Cos i went to the stores n what i saw was 0-12months. Is it the same formular that a 6 month baby will use?

Whats the difference between Frisogold rice, Cerelac and Nutrend. Is it just company price or quality differs?

. Yes it's the same but you can use Enfagrow from 9months if you feel like changing.

. No much difference but sometimes quality may differ that is why my baby may not like cerelac but yours will

He weighed 2.89kg. Nop, he is taking baby food [NaN]. someone said I should give him bonababe

Someone advised I start now so that when he starts teething, it won't disturb him. He takes NAN and I breastfeed him also. He takes NAN twice a day, I don't give him weekend.

I don't keep records but he sucks fine. In the day, anytime he starts disturbing, I put bresst in his mouth. He sucks at least 4 times before daybreaks

Pls stay away from teething drugs. If during ACTUAL teething the baby runs temp give paracetamol

Check this link to see if his weight is ok, these are just indicative anyways, best is to talk to your pediatrician

And @rezzy if his weight is small try putting him on a schedule of 2/3 hours instead of feeding on demand, so you know exactly when he should eat and ensure he is getting enough

I ll advice u leave off d teething powder. My ds never took it, and he s fine. I also think u shld feed her more often, she s probably nt getting enuf. Wot quantity of milk do u gv her, u may probably increase it gradually.Give enuf water too and continue breastfeeding. Apart frm her weight, is there any oda issue? is she holding her neck nw?

Yes, he is holding his neck now. He poo often, it started when he was 2 weeks old . I complained here, they said it's normal. That time, immediately I finish breastfeeding him, he poo straightaway and it's foamy but now it's no more foamy. His poo is very light and has white stuff inside.

Thanks

If he is not hungry, he won't collect the food even if it breeast. Okay, I won't give him teething drugs.

Thanks

Thanks. Just dat i was thinking the milk should be more fortified as the baby grows older, and for those of us that did 6 months exclusive. As wit NAN, SMA etc

Hi. There is this mixture the people here gives their children which makes them put on weight. I gave it to my baby. Concerning the teething stuff, there is also an imported calcium i bought for my son. It was my sis in law that prescribed it cos she works with the minister of health in this country. So she told me to use it and my baby brought out teeth without being sick or vomitting or even seeing rashes.

If his weight is below average then you need to find a way to feed him even if he thinks he isn't hungry.

My baby was 4.2kg @ birth and by his 3rd month of life he was 8.2kg. My hubby is quite a big bone person. Wil it b fair for the mother of a 2.5kg baby born d same tym as my baby to compare their milestone? NO, cos it wil sure make her feel she's nt doin enuf. Hope u get my point.
Wats d physique of ursef and ur dh? Nt all children have the so called societal rating weight. Pls we all grow differently, as long as ur baby look healthy and u feed well, b rest assured everytin is fine.
And medically, we don't advice teething powder or drugs for d kids cos nt ll baby even manifest any sign nd symptoms while feeding.
My love to ur sweet baby and dh, stay blessed
