Hapi wknd beautiful mamas...pls can I add a little bit of sugar in d pap I make 4 my 8mnth old baby?

Probably not. Pap is not nutritious and you have to add all sorts to make it so (crayfish, soybean, groundnut, formula). Wait till 13 months fod sugar and give very little (I add less than a quarter of a cube of brown sugar to Weetabix for my 15 month old). Don't give honey, a mum told us here how her child died from it and doctors don't recommend it before 12 months.

Pls mama's come to my rescue ooo, it's 20days now n my babys cord is still intact. I started using chloxyl gel and I noticed it wasn't dried at all after a week so I stopped using chloxyl gel n I went to hospital to check for infections n d Dr confirmed it wasn't infected but I should continue cleaning with spirit n cotton wool, till now it's still intact. I noticed a flesh like stuff on d belle botton n an upper part of the Tommy close to d belle botton was red ( not oozing out pus, no smell, not running temperature either but just d redness ) I went to hospital again. Pls Sabi mamas what else should I do? Dis is driving me crazy my BP has increased, I'm just so confused, pls make una help me I dey beg oooo.

The culprit is that chlorxyl gel, it delays falling off of d stump. It happened to me and I quickly switched to methylated spirit. Keep using original methylated spirit, clean d baseevery well, it will eventually fall off. Just guard against infection. Relax ok, no need getting worked up.
Remember to clean frequently

I've never tried potatoes with pap o. Is it digestible? Potatoes on its own is fine, just boil very soft and then mash with butter. I used to add thr crayfish after cooking but I'm not sure it was the right way so maybe add and leave on fire for a bit.

There are dried potatoes at the market or if u can buy fresh ones, wash and dry. I always add potatoes to my pap both wet and powdered pap. sweet potatoes o.

Most people use it to make kunnu. Especially for new mothers, instead of using sugar potatoes is the alternative to make it for them.

Before grinding, roast d crayfish slightly in frying pan. Have never used potato, what I used then was unripe plantain. I slice it thinly and sun-dry, then I roast it in frying pan/oven till it's brownish(till it's done). I mill it together with my crayfish, groundnut and soyabeans. I add into d pap when i'm ready to feed. For your potato, you can roast in d oven till it's done then you mill. I hope this helps

Mummide just keep cleaning with methylated spirit as often as possible it will eventually fall off, my son own took more than a month too to fall off and each time I complained to my doctors they said no need to worry so long as it's not infected.

Stadora please toast the crayfish a bit before using.

To the mama that asked about sugar please its still early to give your baby sugar or honey! Use pureed fruits or formula.

Wash his face with only water go natural and allow the skin breath! Do this for a week and see if it helps otherwise you see a doctor.

You know, you kind of sound frantic a lot. Do you have anyone with baby experience staying with you? Sometimes it helps just to have that reassurance. Take a deep breath, you're doing good! Don't panic, okay?

I think you're doing too much to baby. Eczema does happen and Newborn tend to throw a rash no matter what sometimes. Let his skin breathe, just wipe him down with water for now, he's not playing football so he's not dirty. Get a bar of Dove classic soap (you said you were in Ilorin so Dove Sensitive may be hard to find), rub a tiny bit on a washcloth and use it to wipe baby down every 2 days and then follow up by wiping him down with clean water after. Avoid letting the soap touch his eyes. Then dry him off.

Stop all the powder, it's not really good for his lungs and get some Ori (shea butter) or Goya Olive oil and use that as his cream.

Sometimes if you do too much, you end up aggravating the skin and cause dryness. It may look like eczema. So why not try this and then in 4 days' (yes be patient because Newborn have rashes for like 3 weeks easily), let us know if it is calming down. Cool?

How old is he? And stop forcing him, when Himself and everyone used to force Baby E, she spat it out, cried and generally ran away and would Even refuse Cerelac. So I took my time and sat with her: it was exhausting but she now eats most stuff. I was given excellent advice by only one person who told me "don't force her and give her what you like eating".

Let the pharmacist decide on what you can use since he/she will see it directly and be able to advice accordingly.

The rash could be anything any mama here who wants to advice or point you in a direction will at least need a visual

I've also realized that the brand and authenticity of the meth spirit could also make the cord dry faster or otherwise!




Ensure its a good brand you're using and n original product i.e. Buy from a reputable source
