My Baby is 11 months and doesn't eat adult food. He doesn't suck either. I give him NAN formula and cerelac. His formula remains NaN until he is 1 next month.
Dh said from next month he will reduce the amount he gives me for his baby food that I should force him to eat adult food.

So I'm actually looking for baby food that is cheap and good.

He even said he won't give me money for cerelac for our next baby., that it is pap all the way. cheesy cheesy cheesy

Thanks.





Fortified pap is very good. it turned a tiny premmie baby to an orobo. i witness am live!

MiracleMum:




I support Tchiwnnie's suggestion. which are you not comfortable with? the nanny at creche or home nanny? if its a home nanny - she can be changed and if its a creche, you can change your baby's creche or make a report to the school authority - after all you're paying for it.

There's another option, which some of my colleague use. They bring their nanny and baby along to work, because we have a cozy lounge in the office where they use. This way they can monitor the nanny and correct any anomaly. I didn't go with this option because i didnt want friends and colleagues carrying my baby, so i chose creche. But recently, i didn't like the attitude from one of the caregivers to the babies and i made an anonymous report about it to the school authority. (anonymous so my baby wont be victimized) The next day this particular nanny was removed from the creche and replaced with someone else.

Truth be told, we cant expect perfection from them, no one can take care of our babies better than us. Resigning from work is not that easy, it changes a lot of things especially when hubby's income alone cannot suffice.
Kindly consider other options before resigning. Its well with you dear.

if you can get the pap(3 in 1) from a reliable source i.e prepared in a neat environment, you are good to go, just add your baby's formular to it with maybe a little sugar and feed your LO. I don't give my baby cereals, just pap and formular and he is as healthy as can be.

Humm, I don't taste baby's food. It's always irritating to me. For the egg and pap, I learnt it from my aunty.
I mix the raw egg when cooking the pap and also add formula when feeding him.

He takes fish and meat. He doesn't allow me to feed him (rice, indomie and spaghetti.) he turns the plate upside down and start picking them.

If I dare put any other food in his mouth, he will spoil his face and start shaking like someone that wants to have convulsion. cheesy.

Ok, I will keep giving him. Thanks ma

Babies require a lot of patience. Its OK to allow him play wt food. u cld put little food in a plate and allow him to pick from it. Just mk sure d area s clean. Don't worry abt him getting messy and all dat.It even helps good hand coordination.D fact dat he can pick food and put in his mouth. let it b fun to him. I m sure wt tym he ll eat. Its good to taste baby food o, esp wen they reject it. d pap +crayfish combo probably wasn't tasty to him.

Giving birth is an exhilarating experience, y not make breastfeeding your LO a bonding and memorable moment with this nursing camisole. It features

A gathered bustier cup to help keep your breast in place.

A breast pad insert to absorb leaking milk which can also be hand washed and replaced.

A front buckle opening for convienent breast feeding.

Light and comfortable material

It's long enough to serve as tank top

Why not pair with your jacket or blazer for that sophisticated mom look - elegance and comfortability at a go

Ooops... the egg with pap will surely nauseate one, i've never tried pap with crayfish sef. i give pap (millet, maize, and soya) with formula. I ran out of this mixture, then someone directed me to somewhere in Ogba - i bought from them and its really nice. I couldnt differentiate between theirs and the home-made pap i was using. Though theirs has millet, maize, guinea corn, soya, groundnut.

Good afternoon mothers in the house. My DS of 7months has been on formular and breastmilk from day 1. When he became 6months + 2weeks he refused any other food apart from breastmilk. What can i do to enable him take adult food or formula. I was thinking i would stop him from breastfeeding at 7 months. Please mamas in the house, your input would be appreciated. Thanks.

To wean a child from breast milk is best done in stages.

You should introduce the adult food/flavours in stages and in small bits.

Many mums start off with cereals- pap, cerelac, gerber brand of cereals, custard etc etc.

You can also try some noodles cooked to a pulp,boiled fish, amala and ewedu, potatoes- sweet and irish variety etc etc but it must be very very soft!

Don't have high expectations at first.

Then ensure he's hungry so that he may accept a few spoons.
