mamas that add crayfish to their baby's pap how do u prepare the crayfish n store it. I think i once read here that one should stir fry it a little to ensure its dry n then blend. is this OK?
after grinding will it be OK to just leave it at room temp or it has to b in d freezer?
at what stage of cooking the pap does one add the crayfish.
I'm also guessing d pap should not be too thick

in short my baby s stopping exclusive n I want to start introducing pap . cereal n formula sabi mamas I need advice o.
I personally stir fry first befor blending. And then store in a glass container in the refridgerator. I make a batch that lasts an average of one month and it stays fresh.
On adding d crayfish, I usually add it after preparing the pap and cooled down a bit. I don't stir in the crayfish at once after adding. I place on a part of d pap in d plate and then stir in bits while feeding. I do this becos I noticed after stirring in the whole lot and left to stand for a while, it makes d pap have a watery consistency. I don't know why, maybe d salty nature of d crayfish.
So I stir little by little from d corner while feeding simultanoeusly. I dunno if u get me wish I could upload a pic so u can see

thanks a lot. I really appreciate ur response. was wondering if no one will reply. do u add egg yolk too? n milk right? I intend keeping the crayfish in an air tight plastic container. would that be OK? I'm guessing a freezer will make the crayfish watery. so is it OK if I keep it at room temp?

finally do u use a diff pot for preparing ur baby's food? or can I use d one I use for the entire house?

waiting for ur response pls

Babies can digest cow milk from 1 year old. All those toddler milks are clever marketing schemes. Make sure that when you switch to cow milk, your LO's meals are well balanced or you give multivitamin.

hello everyone.
pls what can I give my 16 weeks old daughter for cough?

pls is there any interaction between cough/cough medications and vaccination?

If the cough is accompanied by fever, give paracetamol, lots of fluids ( breast milk) and let your LO breath in steam with drops of eucalyptus oil.

It is caused by the normal common cold virus, no medication is required. Go to your paediatrician if symptoms persist.

You are missing the point.
I was just trying to refute the claim the Johnson's products made in this USA are good while the ones made in Nigeria or South Africa are bad.

I won't go as far as saying any product is good or bad.

But the formulation and quality for products with the same name differ accross countries because regulations also differ

It's obvious even in huggies, pampers, mcvities biscuits such as digestive, hobnobs. They are not the same and it's not a 'foreign products are better mentality' just the cold hard truth

. I can't use cow milk From one year never for me even when you Google they say start introducing cow milk from two then you can change fully from three. Then those using complain, complain is a supplement for malnourished children,not for every child it is written boldly use only on doctors prescription and assistance, we should always follow instruction, these children have all their life to drink adult milk,and eat adult food only three years to give them what they deserve is not too much

Mamas, kindly help with this. I noticed that he sometimes opens one eye wider than the other. Is this normal?
Why not take your baby to a pediatrician, I guess people don't know that is why no one responded. The only time my baby opens one eye wider than the other is when I breastfeed him and it's cos of the position he is while breastfeeding and I think that is true for all babies, but of your LO is opening an eye wider than the other at other times, please see a pediatrician to rule out all worries.

Fact: babies can digest cow milk from 1 year old.

That is standard all over the World. Whenever you chose to introduce cow milk should be your personal choice.

Please I would like to see a source that says babies shouldn't take cow milk at 1 year old. You must have been reading a formula company's marketing site.

Every baby has the pulsating soft spot until 18 months. You don't have to worry. As long as it is not bulging or sunken and your baby is striving.

My paediatrician recommended Vitamin D drops for exclusively breastfed babies to promote closure of the soft spot.

About the rashes on his face and neck, I noticed my baby had the same and decided to watch all I did for him then, and I discovered what caused it was cos I used soap on his face while bathing him. I stopped and the thing cleared, I tried it again and it was all over his face so what I do is I only use My wet hand to clean his face, no soap or anything. It could be soap, powder or anything but it is likely a reaction to something

I don't t know what alefo is, other sabi mamas will soon attend to you.

Babies can take adult milk from 1yr.

But instead of going all milk,why not try cooking with bones(yes,bone),sea food(periwinckle,lobster,shrimp etc not forgetting icefish especially d head) and veggie and give ur baby. Not only will people admire ur baby color,it will also boast their immune system thereby fighting diseases.
Believe u me this is all ur baby need. It can be in form of peppersoup so ur baby can drink d water.

Natural food any day,any time is the best for ur baby.
