Meanwhile saw a random post where you mentioned using 60 diapers in two weeks. Truly you've made my BP come down thought it was only us oh.... We never even reach two weeks and 60 diapers don more or less finish! This baby meme na real wa! May God Almighty continue to provide.....

This individual has a policy of pooping only when diaper is clean and dry so i change him and then he poops *rolls eyes* God dey! When i sha start pointing to one lace or gold for him to buy he had better not speak any English to me LOL

..

..he dares nt oo..its even constipation dat slows our own marathon race down to 4per day amen to ur prayer ma nd kisses to him.

For mother's who's children have refused formula, you have to continue giving them especially when you have no choice, they are like that.
But if you can increase your breast milk production then do or try. Because at this age they want only breast milk

Sometimes its not even the milk, its the comfort that comes with breastfeeding. My lo can sleep off after 2 sucks on breast..... give her 2 gallons with bottle, she can use 1 hour to finish it then knock out afterwards.

I was once told when giving bottles to let other people feed her, initially as she is more likely to take it from them.
As with the mum....she already knows that the bobby is around the corner.

Its like you smelling some point and kill peppersoup coming out of your kitchen and then they bring out plain rice for you.... na your kitchen so who no go enter go find the source of that fish pepper soup. But if its another persons kitchen if you go just talk thanks or no thanks.

So mamas may want to try this as well if thry are not already. Get grandma or hubby to feed her when giving the bottle. Hopefully the babies will accept from them.. and then hopefully, they will start accepting it from you again.

Mamas just noticed that I am pregnant and I have a 15 months old baby that just started walking and still breastfeeding pls hope it wont affect her in any way. Abeg make una answer me cos I am confused.

My dear, why na?

Doctor prescribed 5ml so why reduce it?

For the doctor to have prescribed both ear drops and antibiotics for a baby that young , it means on checking your baby's ears there was a lot of pus/discharge.

Please stick to your doctor's prescription of 5ml. Also ensure you complete the total number of days you've been asked to administer the antibiotics. It's important to effectively administer the antibiotics as this will ensure the infection is totally gotten rid off and also prevent further future complications. Eg. Partial deafness.

My dear, it was from here dat I learnt dat 5ml is ovadoze for my baby. Also on the leaflet 5ml was for 2years n above bt no prescription for less than 2years. A woman in my church also adviced dat I don't always go wt the doctor's prescription. Bt baby is healing fast sha.

Tnx dearie.

Forgot to add: Chicken and meat stock is really good for kids. I add it to scrambled egg. However, I don't cook with Maggi so you may want to have that in mind.

please how do you cook your chicken without maggi? can you share your recipe?

Hi y'all

Another long post/ Rant / tip. Depending on how you want to view it.

Apologies in advance. But do bear with me and read to the end.

This post is for all mums out there that as soon as the los turned 6 months went out and got all the weaning gadgets and gizmos. And then find out that on top of the list of baby-absolutely-loathes-items is BABY RICE! Meanwhile you have bought like 3 packs and they are now looking at you and chopping counterspace!

Yes baby rice! It is marketed as a cereal, just add milk it says on the pack...happy baby picture on the front! Yum yum!! What a scam!

So my experience is this....
my baby will have it as a cereal but we take like an hour to finish 2 tablespoons... plus i have never been able to get the consistency right.... 1 spoon to 8 spoons of baby's usual milk it says on the pack.... easypeasy you think! now if you are using breast milk. Thats not very easy.

Is the rice spoon heaped or level It doesnt say.

You see i tried level spoon rice and i had a very watery soup with 8 of the same spoons of milk. erhm am i supposed to use a spoon now or do i use a bottle Tried adding more rice.... it lost taste, adding more milk ...... back to the same watery problem.

Solution: ok where is my baby cup, we had it like a drink! i cant shout.

If i use heaped it kinda becomes too tasteless. And round and round we went.

Note: if using formula you may not have this problem, depending on how much milk you are willing to use to make it have a nice taste.

Now when i used formular to make it here is the experience.... the formular 1 scoop to 30 ml water right? That means two 15ml table sooons of water per scoop. Now to make the rice as per package instructions..... one tablespoon of rice = 8 tablespoons of milk = 4 scoops of fomular per baby rice.... considering that is essentially a 120ml bottle of milk, that i am now going to gamble on baby rice only for my daughter to take one spoon, squeeze face and spit it right out... in this harsh economy?. i rather just give her a 120 ml of formular and everyone is happy biko!

I am sure i cannot be the only one to have expereinced such frustrations!!

So as you can guess i kinda gave up on the bland powderiness of baby rice until.......

I realised it is magnificent in EVERY OTHER THING but as a cereal!

Need to bulk up fruit purree...... add baby rice.

Added a bit too much water when blending baby food.... add baby rice to thicken it back to desired constitency.

You know how annoying it is when you buy hipp or cow & gate and you want to replicate that texture?

Yes, your home blender will NEVER make it as smooth but in order to get that thickness that holds well on a spoon, most.... about 95% of baby food contains potato, cornstarch or...... you guessed it. RICE FLOUR... which is essentially baby rice. It doesnt usually need to be stated in the title as long as it is below a certain percentage.... so when you see stuff like chicken and sweetcorn and peas.... you will find on the ingredient list the percentages of the main ingredients listed but in additon most will contain rapeseed oil and a thickener that is either potato, cornstarch or rice.

Now you can add potato or cornstarch to thicken but that needs to be cooked through to thicken it up and it usually if you remember at the start of the cooking, or reheating post-blending.... tedious .


All you need is baby rice.... no need to cook through

So there you have it..... now go dust out the packs of baby rice you have at the back of the cupboard. And start using them up.


Alphahandmaiden out!!!

AlphahandMaiden you just hit the nail on the head! I've also been wondering why my boy makes a fuss and takes longer to finish his rice cereal, until I tasted it (yuck!) Warrahel? I had to apologise to the boy for the torture

We also take ours as a smoothie drink sometimes when he could not longer stomach another spoonful.
Thanks for the tips will try them out.

^^^^^ lmaooooooooo @ the two mums above me.

Baby rice isn't that bad na. Have you tried baby muesli? That one tastes like dried wood. my son spat it out the very first time he tried it and till date I'm still stuck with two packs. I'm thinking of using my blender to grind it to very powdery form and see if he likes it or may be I will just wait till he's a little older and then try again.

With baby rice, it was a hit for about two months once he began solids and then he got bored of it. It's still a part of his diet but I mix it with his other favourite cereals ( creamy banana porridge and the likes). Another combo that works well with baby rice is mashed very ripe banana+formula. Yummy
