stadora:

My dear, there s ntn more advisable 2 gv him nw dan BM. Jst make sure u eat wel balanced diets n kip breastfeedin him. He ll gain weight preety soon. Relax urself.

Thanks ma. It ws d nurse at d clinic tht told me he's underweight. I introduced formula cos he cries a lot. I hardly sleep at night & my bp has been going up and down. I started with frisogold on Monday but was advised to switch to aptamil, so he's taking that now though I still breastfeed very well.
Pls is it normal for him to poo as soon as food gets into his stomach?

Please mamas in the house, how can I ensure my son gets well balanced meals? He has refused friso rice cereal, cerelac, guinea/millet/corn mixture, collected custard a little then stopped. Out of desperation, I gave him foofoo, you guys needed to see the way he was gulping it down, I tried garri and he ate plenty too. Am I to feed him only foofoo and garri? He's 6months old.

try sweet potatoes garnished with fish nd crayfish, very light semo and ewedu cooked with fish nd crayfish, and amala.. gv egg yolks too..fufu nd eba I believe is too heavy.. abrg the pikin nva start to dey crawl.. u can do unripe plantain flour.. its loaded with a lot of nutrients. . u can boil ripe plantain and cook like porridge. u ca also fry once in a while nd gv him.. u can try irish potato friea with ketchup.. try quaker oats..u can also gv him smoothies. .I usually do a combo of watermelon, pawpaw nd cucumber, or bananas, carrots etc..
I am sure he will like one of them. also try to make eating time fun..eat with him nd make funny faces..u hv to put it in ur mouth first so he will b interested. .

ur lo will b fine..one step at a time.

Pls mamas, what can I give my 6wks baby to help him gain weight. He weighed 2.5kg at birth, he was preterm & now weigh 3.4kg at 6wks. I ws told he is underweight at d clinic. He poops during each meal. He was on ebf before, just introduced formular this week & it's stil d same thing. Sabi mamas, Pls wat can i do to help him gain weight.
If you think your baby is not sucking well then you can suppliment with formular. My boy was preterm too,weighed 2.4kg at birth, 3.1kg at 6weeks, when the nurse complained about his weight i told her ma he was small at birth so thats why. But i noticed he likes sleeping anytime he is sucking(not that am not lactating well o) my baby will suck for like 10mins and sleep off thereby making him not adding weight. I had to take courage and introduced formular to him and since then he started gaining weight so the solution lies with you if you know he is sucking well and not sleeping when he is supposed to be eating then continue Ebf but if not continue with the formular to help him get enough for body building and with time your baby will be very ok.
pls sometimes its not all about food that makes babies big,let them get enough sleep and care when neccesary, if you have to reduce noice or disturbances do,just for them to get good sleep and with good food and sound sleep they come out healthy.

Huhn, yesterday my baby pooped three times. I ws really happy thinking he's changing. When I fed him in d nyt, he didn't poo only for him to refuse to sleep o. He cried himself out through out d night. Each time I tried breastfeeding him, he threw up after few minutes. It ws then I guess his stomach ws filled up & started praying for him to poop. I gave him few drops of warm water, he pooped immediately & slept off around 5:30am.
I've learnt to stop comparing my baby with other babies cos they are different & look out for what is good for him & not what others think.
