U mean u didn't buy any formula 4baby after d 6months? Hw did u manage it?
@CharmyBliz
I didn't o! But I managed well, thank God. At 6 months, tried to wean him off breast milk, it was impossible so decided to go with the flow. We first have him water ( I had done exclusive bf) and then I bought cerelac ( no need to add milk) so I just topped it up with breast milk. I introduced other soft foods. I also gave him yoghurt ( Greek style) and Cheese as he had refused milk. Getting him used to all these took time and before u know it he turned 1. I switched to weetabix with full fresh milk. He stopped bf on his own at 14 months. He is now 32 months and eating almost all but sometimes he is picky!

Good day dearest mummies

pls my son throw up a lot right from birth till now 6 months. Any experience mom? pls what can I use to stop it?. He is breast fed ooo. am about starting solid.

Most likely reflux. My baby suffered it too, they recommended infant gaviscon which is very very hard to find in Nigeria

Good thing is she outgrew it at about one year.

Try and see a pediatrician for proper diagnosis and if they say reflux, know that there is a ray of sunshine down the line

Good evening mamas. Please I am a first time mum and worried. My prince arrived late night on Saturday and up till now I am not lactating. I am kinda worried cos he's loosing weight, he has not posted more than once since birth and he sleeps alot. Although I v given him nan 1and still put him to the breast.
What else can I do please.
Please how long does the episiotomy pain last?

abeg how do u pp make ur baby eat, seems it only my baby dt is different, I av to force him to eat pap, cerelac at 6 months, he won't take it still,as for NAN and sma gold, I just wasted my money, he wants to continue wit breast milk even after 6 months, and he looks small, 9kg at 6 months, imagine, in fact am really tired, av been praying to God to manipulate his appetite, may God help me o

You are funny o

Pls check out this link. The high part of normal for a 6 month old boy is 8.4kg

So your baby is even bigger than almost 100 percent of children in his age group.

May God not give you genuine reasons to worry

Personally I don't subscribe to eating so much food because you are trying to lactate

If you have a breast pump you can pump on a schedule say every one hour during the day and every 3 hours at night .

Milk is demand and supply so this will trick your body into increasing it's supply

Yes nothing. The skin won't be dry, just rub the powder on the neck region, the folds and baby is good to go. I've tried lotions and my kids developed rashes. I decided to stop, a nurse also told me to avoid lotions too. Try it and you will be amazed at no heat rashes

Ur kids r boti na. Lol

pour small eucalyptus oil in her bathing water,I mean very small, give vit C syrup and since u know d weather is kinda cold now, double clothing especially in d night , avoid exposing her to cold weather, I think this should help.

Thank you Ma. Will be doing that now but he sleeps on his tummy during the day when I can supervise him and on his side @ nyt.

Tummy time is different from him sleeping on his tummy. It is done when baby is not asleep. You can google search for more details. All the best mama.

Hello mamas, trust we are all doing fine. Please, is it okay for a 6-month old to take cheese balls?

Also, this giving of yoghurt to babies (over 6 months old), is it the normal sweet yoghurt one sees everywhere or is there a special one for babies? Thanks.
