sugarcanebaby:Mamas here have answered you on the importance of these vaccines. Government hospitals now give PCV free so you pay for only retrovirus it shouldn't be more than 7-8k. As for me, I ll rather give all the vaccines and save my self the stress cos GOD forbid the child gets any of these disease, you may end up spending more to treat it plus the stress of taking care of a sick child. 2 Likes |

rofemiguwa: How old is your baby? Mashed food/lumpy food are best introduced after a certain age so as not to overwork their digestive system. As their taste buds develop, it's all about the texture and consistency of the food in their mouth which is why it's advised to start with puréed food and slowly introduce mashed/lumpy food. Below is a brief breakdown of my son's diet for his first year. 0 - 6months = breastmilk and formula 7-8 = breastmilk, formula, factory produced baby cereal, strictly puréed food. Only mashed meals were banana and advocado. 9-12 = breastmilk, formula, factory produced baby cereal, mashed/lumpy food. 8 Likes 6 Shares |

zimunachimdi: For all my kids... I combine dawa, corn and joro (dunno the English name) which contains calcium and then ground together. As for the groundnut, I ain't sure what it will turn out to if you add to it. 1 Like |

I think what the researchers are saying is "don't give pap/ogi as a daily meal unless you fortify it with enough protein combos". Pap, like custard should be fine for maybe twice a week. Because people do take plain pap with milk and give their babies daily, see the child getting plump and think the child is healthy. Nigerian food is carb-heavy because our ancestors used to trek to the farm and do strenous work under the sun all day and trek back. So they needed high-energy carb rich foods. Just like a footballer or runner. We don't live like that anymore. 2 Likes |

starbuck: Guinea corn, corn, millet. As for the groundnut, I think it's the powdered form that's added to the prepared pap. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I don't know if anyone has seen this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/3467558/crisis-looms-prices-drugs-increase#51097206 Basically, drugs are getting more expensive because of the Forex issue. Prices are skyrocketing or expensive drugs are not being replaced. Children's mulitvitamins were highlighted. Please we all need to be careful where we buy our medicines because knowing Nigerian factor, unscrupulous people will start cutting corners and selling expired and substandard drugs at chemists and pharmacies. I believe I trust Healthplus enough and I know a few other pharmacies around Lagos I think I trust. But let us be very careful. Also, in getting drugs from your hospital be also watchful, especially if it is all those small private clinics that is basically a one-man show. They may wish to cut corners. 6 Likes |

Onegai: I may have been part of that conversation because that was the solution that worked. The cradle cap went in less than a week, and now I wash daily. I was only sharing my experience of when I stopped washing his hair twice a day and how it led to cradle cap. With the way my grandma embarrassed me, i'd rather risk him having strong hair by daily washing than have a recurrence of cradle cap @rofemiguwa. Thank God he's a boy self, make hair strong if e like, we're cutting it at six months. Does hair being strong not have anything to do with genetics? as per hair type. I'm 4c, hubby is 4c, so i don't expect my son to have 2a type of hair. The guy has already inherited male pattern baldness from me self. |

rofemiguwa:My dear am in the same boat with u, am so confused on this pap issue now |
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by Onegai(f): 3:07pm On Nov 17, 2016 |
Tojued: I believe Cradle cap is made worse by dryness. The only shampoo the dermatologist would recommend was Sebamed during that time and it took a while to work. Oil worked faster. And shampoo is drying. I have type 4 hair but I have seen so many type 4 hairs that are soft and manageable because they moisturise constantly and are using the right products for their hair. Mothers of young babies don't usually have time to deep con, prepoo, spritz daily and so much. Though I'm trying to improve. As an aside, I really really hate when I ask those Natural Hair Gurus what products they would recommend and they smugly reply "it's different for everyone, you have to try everything and see what works". I'm usually like "Bissshhh do I look like I have the time and money to be spending buying your entire store and helping you earn money reading your blog, before you hand me a bottle of the right conditioner? What is the point of typing my hair if you won't advise me what others with my hair type use??" 2 Likes |
