Mum can't find the share certificates....What do I do...?

AlphaHandMaiden:


Due to them being pre term i would say let them reach 6 months before introducing any other forms of food.

With the 90 ml, is that what you prepare for them, or is that what they take when you prepare more. i.e if you make a 120ml bottle, 30 ml is left.
Babies cant talk so if what they are used to is 90ml . They will tend to take that and cry again much earlier than usual except they are really really hungry and may keep crying after the 90ml is finished
You can up the quantity and if they dont finish it at first give them a few minutes, burp them and offer the remaining to them. Even adults need to adjust belle sometimes to get more food in so its not unusual that babies may be the same.

About your friend and the vjay/post partum issue........all i will say is she needs to be categorised as a " take what she says with a pinch of salt or no salt at all" friend.

With their milestones, there is no reason they wont achieve them in due course. As with full term babies, everyone is different and will develope at different rates. However, If you are having any doubts or worries go see your peadiatrician.

Concerning taking expressed breast milk to creche I bought this tiny fridge on olx for 7k. Go to olx and search for fridge, then sort by price low to high. There are three: one is 3k and can take only one can/bottle, one is square, one is shaped like a football.

I bought the square red one it can take 2 big and 2 small avent bottles. I can certify it works well and is excellent for my purpose, but I've only used for one week so I can't vouch for durability.

I start cooling the fridge at home in the morning (in case no light at creche) then when leaving the house take out milk from main fridge and put inside. Then plug it in when I get to creche.

I normally use lansinoh lanolin but I don't know where you can get in naija. I bought on amazon and someone brought back for me.

Kpele. It's very painful but you have no option than to continue breastfeeding. I guess you can use ori or Vaseline instead, but make sure you wash off before feeding baby. The trick is prevent the crack from getting dry or it will get very painful. Rub on immediately after feeding baby.

Try and give the sore nipple a break, feed more from the other side for now while giving the ori or lanolin time to work. E.g feed three times from less painful side before feeding once from painful side. Don't worry about one boob getting bigger than the other for now.

Mommies please I want to start formula and I don't trust caregiver to correctly measure food for baby. Especially since they feed him with cup and spoon.

Is it possible for me to mix the bottles of formula down? With the fridge I described in earlier post I can then store the milk either hot (fridge also had warming function) or cold (then they heat in warm water like they're doing with breast milk now)

I would have loved to do 6 months exclusive, but pumping is not my strong point (don't want to get into sob stories here) so will be introducing formula at 16 weeks.

I dont know about other brands but with aptamil i know they say discards after 2or so hours ( or is it 4 hours...sorry i cant remember) after preparation... it has to do with the powders not being sterile so the longer after you prepared it stays, the higher the chance of micro-organism growth.

I would say measure out the dry powder into the pre-sterilised bottles so all they need to do is to add warm water. Or room tetmperature water and pop into a cup of warm water. ( this is what i do when i am out and about. ) it also gives you the chance to give your own water either hot in a flask, or in a bottle (boiled and cooled).
Note: bottled water ( eva and like ) are not advisable for babies as they sometimes have a high level of added sodium during the manufacture. So use sparingly if you must.

It will be easier to use the correct sized bottles so they dont add too much water i.e. 4 scoops into a 120ml bottle, 5 into 150ml and 6 or 7 into a 210 or larger bottle. But if that means you have to go buy new bottles dont worry.
If you have the bigger bottles, Just use masking tape and a pen to mark the level that they need to add the warm water to.

You will have to change the tape everyday though but i will like to think you only need to do that the first few times /days when you just start the creche or when you increase the feed for the baby. After which the creche staff should have gotten the routine.

cc Tojued. Lansinoh is sold at Medplus and Healthplus pharmacies. Saw it like 2 weeks ago at the mall. In case you can't get that, can you try these tips from KellyMom (it is one of the best resources on Breastfeeding and is recommended by doctors). The authors suggest a saline solution, Lasinoh or pure lanolin and using your own breastmilk to heal the area and airing it. Loistee, I know someone who breastfed with cracked nipples and she said her baby drank like that with the blood!

Thanks ma u are a darling. Kisses from me and my baby to u.

Get milk dispensers, measure out the appropriate quantities, put clean sterilised bottles and hot water in a flask for them. Show them the quantity of water to use per feed.
