MiracleMum:


The sweetness of pap is actually the milk but i dont follow any rule. The quantity am feeding her at that time determines the number of scoop i use. e.g 60ml of pap - i use 1 scoop of enfamil mixed in very little bottled water since the pap is already hot. I noticed when i add too much milk, my daughter doesnt take it, so this guide works for me.

Thanks Mama for your response.

Hello dear Cerelac naija is not only maize. It's up 3 varieties. One of d major difference btw cerelac naija and foreign cerelac is d lid of both containers. D naija own has transparent lid and some has normal tin lid. The foreign cerelac has yellow lid all around.

Mama, what of d ones in d carton? Are some made in naija too and how to tell it from imported. Tx

whao, its really not the same thing. Thanks.

MiracleMum:

Obviously, baby cant eat an entire avocado even though it's nutritious and has a buttery flavour and texture. It's advisable to mash or puree half the flesh and wrap the other half with the pit still inside to keep it from getting brown. You can also store pureed avocado in ice-cube trays.

Thanks for the tip

I think my boy formula is among the cheapest. It's #1100 and NAN is #1400 now or #1350 in super market.
They are good but my baby reacted to my boy formula. He poos immediately after each feed

Hello moms. Howdy? Please I am in a dilemma. I want to get an electric breast pump, I had Philips avent in mind but I cant afford it at this time. I have seen evenflo and lasinoh and its something I can afford but I'm afraid. I don't want to buy and regret. Please if you've used an electric breast pump that is below 20k and is good, please let me know. Thanks a lot.

Hello, I use Lasinoh manual breast pump and it's good.

Good Morning Mamas, am officially porting to this thread after birthing a BB thru cs. She is 5days old 2day and her cord just felloff yesterday afternoon.
My question is,what can I use on the navel to heal it faster & properly apart from cleaning with menthlolated spirit. Coz I was rubbing ori on it after cleaning with menthol spirit but the nurse said ori preparation is not hygenic enough and could cause an infection.
Thanks.

Please, who has used this cereal (NUTRILAC). I want to verify the availability before commiting to it (as a replacement for cerelac). Found it in a supermarket in Warri. About half the price of cerelac.

Clean it with spirit after bathing her and rub Vaseline on it "blue seal"( the one with blue cover)

Thanks bims87. @ cutiereborn, welcome to the world of vigilante. After cleaning mine with methylated spirit, I applied blue seal Vaseline. I did that up to 5 times a day.

Don't rub Vaseline or anything to avoid introducing infection.

Just clean with methylated spirit

Yes, I feel the same, so I mix it with Unsweeteened yoghurt or soya meal. This reduces the sweetness and she only eats it twice a day.
