yes, I hope it does.
Though I stay few kilometers away from Ado Ekiti, so stuffs like these are very scarce here and Konga/Jumai takes forever to deliver

if you know someone in Ado that can take delivery for you, Konga has an office there and they deliver fast to Ado.

I specitycally asked for vit a at the hospital n I was told they no longer give it routinely except during health week when they will go from house to house yet they couldn't tell me when the next health week will hold.

How are you mums doing? I'm fine.. And not too fine. Body ache, back ache from backing baby, hand ache from carring baby, br.east ache from feeding baby.. grin it is well with my soul. DH and I slept by 3am today. The twins were just screaming thru the night. The both wanted to sleep with the bobby, and I couldn't give d two of them at once.. See fight! I got angry, removed their clothes, and showered them with cold water. They screamed and cried. My DH was shouting that I was wicked to have bathed them with cold water. They slept 5mins later. I looked at DH like "am I still wicked now?" may we reap the fruits of our labour o. Our children shall all be great. All our vigilante will not be in vain in Jesus name.

The Lord is our strenght jare. It is well.

4 ur 1st question, I only tried peak123, so don't know if d odas r beta. On ur 2nd question, I tink pooing 3-4 times everyday is 2 much. Wen I started using peak123 for my son wen he turned 1, he started pooling, so I stopped n gave him regular dano milk which he tolerated. Some pple say peak123 is 2 sweet. Since dats d only different tin he takes 4rm yours, I ll suggest u change 2 anoda brand n c if deer is a change.

I understand you shouldn't mix drugs like that oh!!! So this concoction may not be a good idea. You can give at intervals sweetened with Vit C i guess but mixing all is a no no!

Oh, really, thanks. I guess we learn new things daily. I will ask his pediatrician and check google too.

I use a private hospital and they give vit. A at the hospital. I took my baby for it last week, it's even free in my hospital. I guess it depends on the hospital.

Working mothers, how do you cope with introducing solids to your babies at 6 months? I'm finding it very hard, so my baby has been taking Frisogold and NAN 2 only, separately though.

Pneumococcal and Rotavirus are not free in Lag. Some health centres stock it, but you need to pay for it.

cow milk for babies not up to one yr is a big NO pls, its really really not adviseable.
babythug:


One thing with baby's diet is that as with adults it is an individual experience. Some babies will readily take some foods and some will not. If you have given the individual pap and peak milk and s/he took it well then please continue.
Some people give their babies adult* i.e peak, dano etc milk straight away because of funds or other reasons like yours and from my personal experience the babies turn out just right.
As per quantity again it depends on the child. Start with the four scoops recommended. If he still seems hungry afterwards please feel free to mix up two or more scoops. At least till you are sure of what he/she can conveniently eat well at a sitting.
You can decide to feed your baby every 3/4/5 hours i.e you may wanna work a schedule. Some people feed when baby is crying or yelling from hunger. Again it depends on what you the mother wants.
For the weight loss there are some times babies lose weight the baby fat* drops off i guess LOL. As long as baby isn't ill or emaciating i wont bother worrying.
Please continue with the adult food too, the earlier one starts babies up on it the better.

Good luck and hope this helps wink

Hello Tchiwinnie and other mamas that encouraged me when i was disturbed about my daughter's neck control. Here's an update!
Her head is no longer wobbly!!!
She has a pretty good head control while sitting supported, though she's lazy in holding her head and chest upright while lying on her stomach during tummy time.

experienced mamas abeg I need ur advice on d type of walker to buy. I checked Konga and saw two main types.
1. The first one has seat and I am guessing that will help children learn to sit. My baby is just about 4 and a half months so I guess its more suitable but I am guessing that as soon as he can sit or crawl its goodbye to this type of walker.
2. activity walker: which is probably suitable for a child learning to walk.

So my question is does he really need the sitting one to learn how to sit? If he doesn't I'll just wait and by the second or do I need the two?

Thanks.
