Liftedhands:
Ok thanks will put that into consideration whenever I try the dry Pap thanks again.

Meanwhile can any mama tell me what I can give my almost ten months old in place of milk? He has stopped taking milk both formula and bm? Just like that cry is it safe ok for his age not to have any milk at all? I use banana or pureed apple to sweeten his cereals without milk but I feel it's not sufficient undecided

Today is the fourth day without a milk feed. Will be going to the hospital on Monday but I'd like to know if any mom has experienced this

Note he eats well any food I give him that doesn't have milk.

Cc every mama on this thread.

have u tried soyabeans?
If she can acept soyabeans, it even beta dan formula. My do give my lo soyabeans bt i mix wt formula.
U hav 2 find a way of includin milk in hs meal. Milk is very esential 4 babies.
Its wel wt u and urs

Wow. Pete to him. They say you can apply something from the freezer, even a very cold bowl but don't press too hard on the swelling, just use the cold thing to touch the swelling and leave it there for a few minutes.

Liftedhands, babies tend to refuse milk. It happens. My niece refused milk and even Cerelac and went straight to solids. Baby E refused milk and will take it added with cereal. You may want to consider looking up food substitutes, I don't know about Soy (there's a lot of back and forth about it), but there are other foods rich in Calcium and Vitamin D. We give Cheese (Mozzarella and Cheddar) when our pockets are feeling rich (usually from Shoprite or SPAR).

Rezzy and Dexterush,

Before una keel ya pikins in da name of Stopping Sucking of Thumb grin let me give you this gist: once there was a little boy who sucked his thumb. His siblings tried plaster, bitterleaf, Iodine, Aloe Vera (or maybe not, it wasn't popular back then), beating and even tying him up. They gave up eventually and said he would be a dumbo. Today, that boy builds planes. As in, airplanes. If you have ever travelled to England or the U.S. and used an Airbus (airlines like Virgin and Delta and co used them), you have most likely enjoyed his work. Infact, the new set of airplanes beings designed are coming from his hands. He also drives a $25,000 car cool and travels a lot for holidays (he's dating, he sadly never dated a Nigerian girl).
So, maybe your little thumbsucker may be a "black Bill Gates in the making" wink (Beyonce lyric ). Don't let it annoy you too much and just gently ease him out of it. Because he said the sibling who was gentlest with him about the matter is the one he really likes till now.

I've seen adult nail biters but never adult thumb suckers and in trying to stop something harmless in the long run, cause resentments and perceived notions about stuff.

By the way, when i was freaking out about not EBF, that same boy told me "don't sweat the small stuff. Breast milk is important but you being a good mum even more so and this is 6 months out of a lonnnnggg life". He's a smart boy.

Thanks mamas will try your suggestions.

I usually make scrambled eggs for him which he loves so today's own I decided to mix milk into the eggs and he ate it!! Problem is the milk is not formula but full cream Oldenburg milk lipsrsealed he is too young for regular milk nah? So I made another with formula and he also ate smiley so I guess it's fried milk from now on till he gets tired of it or starts taking his milk normal.

soonest:


*The child may suffer from allergies
*May not be able to digest it well
*May have diarrhoea or even constipation
Though some mothers in the village start pap as early as 2months but that's due to ignorance. WHO says a child should be on bm or formula exclusively for the first 6months of life and American Paediatric Association says at least for the first 4months of life. So that's it

Oh tnks for d info!

Abiagirl777:


my boy had it too, very irritating thing especially when his hair use to fall out in chunks with his scalp(eeeewh),there was nothing I didn't do.well a woman later brought me some red flowers (Google red acalypha plant and see if its planted in your neighbourhood),I washed it and boiled,it was the water that I was using to bath him morning n night in less than 5 days,it disappeared(I couldn't believe it),then use coconut oil as the cream both on the hair ,allow the hair to dry before combing.

Thanks mama. I will try to find out the plant

ok oo, i had 2 google d method and i found where it was stated dat d pap paste should b added to a boilin water and not d oda way round like normal pap.
I tried d method it later came out thick and pap like.

But d ish abt it is dat it wasnt gud 4 my lo, because as soon as d tin dy enter his mouth, na so he dy poo d tin dy comot. I had 2 stop feedin him n dscad d remainin.

Gues i ll hav to go bak 2 normal pap.
I ve jst wasted my time n efort 4 ntn.
For me I put back on fire to be properly done, same thing I do with normal pap.

No crime in trying, u v done ur best!

No problem. My point is, please do it gently. Kids never forget stuff and a lot of things you guys may like about me, used to get me into all sorts of trouble as a child because everyone wanted me to conform and they kept trying to correct me in the harshest manner ever. Not trying to tell you how to parent, just showing you the other side of things.
