beedam:


My charming prince eats a lot so I had to introduce cereal @ four months. I want to wait till six months or later before I give him pap. He ate 9 tins of Nan+ breastmilk @ 3 months. They complain of him not getting filled on time in creche. But now, with the introduction of the cereal everything is okay. There are cereal made for four months old babies so why is it a no no?

Their reason is that the baby's digestive system is not strong enough to digest cereal at 4 months. I was looking at introducing it to my DD when she's 4month to be taking at the creche instead of expressed BM cos I have fears that they may not be handling the expressed BM well.

See them una wan be figure 8. Lol! Here is the simple recipe to flat tummy
Its a lemon/ ginger drink.
Ingredients
1 lemon
1 ginger
1lime(optional)
1/2 cucumber(optional)


Cut the ginger to small pieces and put in a pot. Add 1litre of water to it and boil. Peel the lemon and add the peels to the pot. Boil for 5mins. Turn off the heat, cut up the remaining lemon(the insides), + the lime and cucumber add all to the pot. Cover and leave overnight. Sieve it in the morning and bottle. You can chill or drink it warm. Do this daily for 1month.
While taking this step please cut down on carbs intake for quicker result. It works like magic, I was introduced to it by a friend. So I decided to share with my fellow yummy mummy!!
Please this is not for bosom feeding mothers.

#youdonmeanit# Adding a margin of N2k to a product costing N3k per item is not too much?

You must be very wealthy oo madam or are you in that business?

Note that baby items are fast moving goods and also get the most waivers and tax exemptions from govts. The major reason why it is insanely expensive in Nigeria is because it is treated as a luxury item.

My fellow mothers weldone o,this thread has really been helpful to me,may God bless our children.pls I need ur candid advice urgently.after having my 2nd baby,hubby nd I decided we ar okay for now(maybe anoda one can b added later)so I made a decision to go 4 family plannin nd I got tested b4 I was told to av d implant done,b4 I had it I ws 50kg(very lepacious)bt within 6 months now am 65 kg,even if I dnt eat atall am still addin weight,av been exercising nd eatin healthy nd all sorts bt d weight still increases,no house help which makes me do all my chores wt 2 boys to run after bt still its as if am being pumped.I complained to my gynecologist nd he said its becos d implant is settling down in my system nd it will normalise itself later.PLS AO TRUE IS IT?PLS DNT CRUCIFY ME O

My dear, implanon,pills,injections all have their side effects cos they are hormonal. Hormonal increases your apetite,thereby you consume more food, thus the increase in weight.

The safest form of artificial fp is the Iucd cos it's non hormal,just a little increase in your flow during menses for the first three month. And you can get pregnant almost immediately when you remove it.. Plus you must pratise good hygience once it's Iucd.

I don't like all these artificial fp methods though.. You can plan your cycle well,know when you are safe, oga can use condoms when you are'nt safe or when you are doubting(7days in a month isn't too much to ask for)...all you need is know your body well and plan.

What I do is put the spoon inside his mouth till he swallows the medicine, then I remove it and carry him on my shoulder. Sometimes, I press his cheeks with my 2 fingers, and pour the medicine inside his mouth not his throat o. I only remove my hands when he has swallow the medicine. I'm always careful with it o. I no dey for my Yam no done

esteria:
How did u cope wit teething?

He refused to eat,so I left him hungry for days o. I was giving him water and glucose. When his temperature refused to come down after the 3rd day, I took him to the hospital. He was given malaria drugs.

He is teething presently[upper teeth] but no temperature.

Mehn, it's not easy oo. The first day, I didn't sleep till 5 am.
If his temperature is too high, use wet clothes and place on his body.

favoredgal:


There are cereals for 4 months. Case in point gerber rice and oat cereal, that's what u used

Everybody always has an idea when it comes to how u raise your kid, do your research and go with your instincts! Nothing is a one size for all anyways

Am just seeing this. Thanks so much. I'd check them out.

babythug:

have you tried multi vitamin drops for him?
You can also wait till he's hungry before bringing the formula or cereals.
some.children move straight to adult food ie they skip cereals and milk that will mean giving foods like noodles or boiled and mashed potatoes or even good old amala and ewedu.
see if you can get someone else to feed him he may accept it that way. It may be a case of him knowing you will bring out breast if he refuses everything you bring forward.
these pikins can see somebody finish lol

Hope these helps

yeah,u re nt lying

Please how much is the piccan ?

pretty16:


I used piccan. Worked well for my son.

Please the piccan na how much na ?

udoka2:

i cant remember who requested this update again....

I want for 18th month immunisation yesterday, asked the pead about the polio being given to children street by street by the government, whether there is a need to give my son since l have a going routine with him at the hospital. His response was that, if l am sure l have not missed any of his routine..that l dont need but if not then l need it. However, no course for alarm if he takes again, as he thinks there is no overdose. Though he advised l shouldnt give him if i havent missed any of his vaccine routine.

He was given MMRV (i.e Meases, mumps, rubella and varicella), Opv and hepatitis A yesterday.

sorry,I think 18months immunization is only for vitamin A supplementation,or he will still need to collect injection join,pls educate me more on dis,and is it govt hospital u use or private,tanx

I think u will be fine as time goes on,its d babys mouth dat will heal it,dnt worry

completey:


That is motherhood. U cannot apply anything. It is because he has not latches on to the breast correctly. When he does you won't feel the pain again. Also, you can help him to latch on to the breast correctly by making sure that the nipple is fully in his mouth while sucking

yeah

FexCathy:
Kimoni, pls I want to ask u somtin. U said u usually don't giv ur babies water until 6 months even if dey take formular. Do u usually giv dem cereals from 4 months witout water too?

Watin man go do we need the money, if you can bring it cheaper I don't mind buying from you. Lolz

no milk is best, they are all good, just buy the one that your baby can tolerate. For instance Peak 123, nido 1+, sma1-3, aptamil1-3 etc

Good evening mothers, please how do I use cold water sterilizer by Avent with that tablet thing.
