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
No, I don't add egg yolk. I boil an egg separately, take off d white and then feed her d yolk. I don't add formula/milk either. She doesn't like it. Any airtight container will do but I don't get what u mean by watery when kept in d freezer? Why would u want to freeze it? I haven't tried dat option though but I once tried d room temp thingy and it didn't stay fresh for long.

There's a special small pot I keep handy for her food but sometimes converted to other uses wen d need arise.

i agree with u, but isnt d head of fish too bony for babies?

The water u cooked d head with is enough.
Actually, d head contain all u need.
Omega 3 acid and all d micro/macro elements r there. Perfect for immune boosting.

As time goes on,blend d head together with beans for ur baby moimoi.

I tell u,u will never ever visit d hospital.

Too much processed food is not good for them.

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.

I certainly agree wit u especially the bones, which is mineral-rich. Egg yolk, liver, chicken, beef and fish are also good. But again one may have to be careful with some seafood cos of allergies. But other than that, its way to go

Good day mamas in the house,
I moved over from the pregnancy thread, and has found this thread helpful. A FTM here. My baby is just 6 weeks old and has been having rashes all over her body inccluding her head...I use Ori (shear butter) for her body and johnson baby oil for her hair.
Don't no the cause of all these rashes oo. Pls I need your assistance as this whole thing is about to drive me crazy.
Secondly, my elder sister's new born 4 weeks has been stooling (over 6 times a day)..greenish stool. Pls I need your urgent response on these issues.
God bless u all.


Stop d johnson asap nd note dt ori does nt work 4 all children(gud on one of my kids bt bad on d other)u cn try sebamed as ther ar lots of testimones abt it,its expensive though bt works.abt ur sis I think its abt hind milk nd fore milk,d breast milk. Comprises of fore milk nd hind milk.if d baby does nt suck well on a breast he only sucks d lighter part,let d baby empty one breast b4 givin him another.

OK I just read again now(google), it says from one year you can introduce but it did not say it should replace their baby milk. But if you as a mother is comfortable with changing fully to cow milk I don't think there is anything bad with it but if you ask me I think give them their milk it was prepared for their age and definitely is more nutritious it's even there.

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.

My sis ao far nw nd ao is baby?ekiti kete nko?make year pap normally on fire,bring down nd add d crayfish,mix well nd add milk.if u ar storing d pap in a flask dnt add d crayfish b4 storing o cos it wil spoil after a few hours.u no wan use soya abi?

I don't think babies can have dandruff. It is called cradle cap. What I did for my LO was, pour olive oil on his head, wait 5-10 mins and comb out with a fine tooth comb.

There is a special shampoo for it though.

pls mamas that give friso rice to their los do you give only twice a day as indicated on the tin or it doesn't matter? I just introduced it to my lo and they wrote on the tin that number of feeding per day is twice and he eats more than twice in a day. I want to give him for 2weeks before introducing another brand as adviced by a mum here.
