Postpartum depression indeed... It's like u all don't read before making comments, I said this babe don't eat anything, I do my pap myself... As for staying away from work and watching her I have not been to work since on tuesday all for her, and as for taking a nanny, u think nanny that will stay with her in the house is better than where she will be in crèche, mind u I have changed her crèche twice in a period of three months, all for eating reasons, asking if she eat in the crèche, am not there but I always ask when I pick her if she eat and ofcourse they will say she finished the food but when I carry her she always look light... Mothers u all should give me solutions other than blabbing about been a good mom cos I know non of u re better mom than I am and besides I know beating a baby is not good and before u condemned me I already did in my previous post. So u read well before commenting and not commenting coz other moms re doing that... The time u will use to type all that stuffs I already know, tell me things I don't know like ways my baby might take atleast any food cos that's y I posted here... I can count how many days I have been to work since I resumed work... My manager have to call me yesterday to know what the problem is... U know what no need as I see that most mothers here re self glorifying peeps who do more than what I have done... U only know what someone is going thru when dey open their mouth. So u all closing ur mouth and commenting should just be careful. At shilloh a woman have to tell me that this ur baby is two people that will hold her to feed, to tell u how bad it is and all this self glorifying moms comment what they feel like commenting. and mind u been a ftm does not make me to beat her ooooo,, lol, am the first in my family and I took care of all my siblings so I have seen different picky eaters ok. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

On a lighter note( change of topic) Copied: HOW TO KNOW IF YOUR MOTHER IS A NIGERIAN; . 1) When you say, "Mummy, I'm Sorry!" And she replies, "Sorry for yourself!" . 2) When you ask her where you should drop something and she says, ?Drop it on my head." . 3) When she brings food wrapped in a nylon bag from a party. . 4) When you say, ''Mummy, I have fever.? And she replies you, ?Why won't you have fever when you press phone every night? . . 5) When you say, ?Mummy I took 2nd in my class.? and she replies, ?So the person that took first has two heads abi?? . . 6) When she takes the DSTV remote to work, just to punish you. . 7) When you are watching television with her and then she sleeps off and still doesn?t want you to change the channel. . . When you tell her you are going to a friend's place to play and she asks, ''When last did that friend come here to play with you? . . 9) When she asks you if the food she served you is enough, and you reply no, and she says, come and eat my own with yours. . 10) When she tells you, if I hear Peem, you will hear Ween. . 11) When she touches hot pot comfortably without a cloth or paper. . 12) When she tells you, ''I didn't kill my mother, so you will not kill me''. . 13) When she calls you from your room upstairs and then sends you back upstairs to bring her purse. . 14) When you ask her to refund the money she borrowed u and she tells you, "All the food you have been eating in the house nko? Which money did you think was used in buying them?'' 15) When the remote is right next to her but she calls you from your room to change the channel for her. Our Mothers are wonderful.

@MummyGwen My heart goes out to you. There's nothing as frustrating as a baby who doesn't like eating. Pls sift thru all that's been said here u need to actually ignore some posts. To all mamas we need to reevaluate the way we respond sometimes. Diplomacy and tact is a good trait to possess. Its easy to sense her frustration about the issue she posted .there was no need to beat her up with our words. 18 Likes 2 Shares |

Mummygwen normally I'd jump and pass some posts, but before I do I'd say this. Try and see a pediatrician. My lo rejected bm for one night and I took him to the hospital the next day. I told the doctor I felt something was wrong and she agreed too. Ran tests on him and found out the poor chap had an infection. The doctor said she suspected infection when i mentioned his refusal to eat as it's one of the signs. **Always trust your instinct as a mom** 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Crayons and Writing So, we see kids with crayons and we give our kids but don't know why. It's an important development tool ad Scribbling leads to Writing and Strengthening shoulder and hand muscles. It's important to give your kids crayons. Because a lot of toddlers start school and hate writing or write badly. I know someone who said her nephew hated writing at 4 years old and my nephews wrote badly at 5 years. A crayon helps develop the right pencil grip. But there are some things you have to do first: 1. Buy the right type of crayons. See those cheap, Chinese ones? They usually have traces of Lead in it. And THERE IS NO SAFE AMOUNT OF LEAD TO ANYTHING, IT MOST DEFINITELY CAUSES CANCER. Proven fact. They keep complaining about those very cheap Chinese crayons in the US and I see them a lot here in Nigeria. So try and patronise brands like Crayola and Reeves (US and UK made). Also Nataraj is Indian but I don't know if it's safe. It is important to buy the right, safe brands because your kid is gonna eat a lot of crayons. My LO uses them as a snack (especially Green, Pink, Brown and dark Blue). 2. Unwrap them and break them into 2 or 3. It's smaller. A long pencil or crayon means your kid makes a fist and grabs it at the top and scribbles. And this becomes hard for them when they start using pencils and trying to write, because it gets hard. So break all pencils or crayons and watch your kid automatically hold it the right way (it will come instinctively). 3. Give them paper. I used to buy sheets of large paper at N5 apiece but they are a pain to get (unless you can ask an Art student to buy for you). Check Ojuelegba for art supplies (Artworld especially) and The Reading Corner in Ikoyi also sells Crayola brand (it's hard to find a bit). 5 Likes 4 Shares

Onegai: Interested. My 14months old has started grabbing Biros and Pencils. I read somewhere that introducing writing materials too early can lead to poor development of the hand muscles, ( i will dig up the article and post). So my questions are 1. At what age can i introduce any form of writing materials 2. She is still at the stage where everythg goes into her mouth. I tried crayon, next thg, into her mouth. Are there edible crayons and where can i get please? Thanks 1 Like |

MummyGwen: The staff at the crèche have no reason to lie about your baby not eating. To be honest, you are one paranoid woman !! Since you work, I'm guessing your baby is at crèche between 9am to 5pm (averagely). It's impossible for her at all not to eat during this time. Even if she did not, she will be extremely cranky and fussy and such babies are not fun to manage at any crèche. For this simple reason, the staff at the crèche would have told you that she's not eating well and they would have suggested meals that you can introduce. I have a son that started crèche early so I have a very good understanding how things work. The fact is that your approach to feeding is totally different from the approach adopted at the crèche. I'm sure at the crèche, she's fed with love and patience which is why she eats really well. What you should do is ask the staff at the crèche what time of the day she feeds and how she's fed and then you adopt their technique. You can also take a day off and spend a few hours at the crèche to see how the staff feed her. Since when did your hands become a "weighing scale" So just because you carry her and she's "light" means she hasnt been fed at the crèche? When was the last time you had her weight checked at the hospital ? Have you had the nurse or doctor weigh her and then compare her birth weight with her current weight using a baby's weight chart? 11 Likes |

MummyGwen: Is this your attempt at humour or what ? The fact that you BEAT a 6 months old baby makes you a very BAD AND TERRIBLE MOTHER. there's no sugar coating it. You are very lucky that this is a Nigerian forum and you have people here trading "turanchi" with you. Try this in any western or developed country and someone would have reported anonymously to the authorities, your IP address would have been tracked and you would have received a home visit from child protection officers. 9 Likes |

dtush: There are safe crayons from Crayola for 0-36 but the best place to check for Crayola is at The Reading Corner on Awolowo way in Ikoyi. AB Artworld used to have more options but reduced to just a few Crayola items because of lack of demand on the mainland. Truly safe brands of crayons are sadly not sold in Nigeria because they ain't cheap and no-one wants products only a few people want. Did you try my earlier mix of edible paint? That can be used with fingers or a brush and is edible. Just get a cheap, chubby handled bristle brush and let your kid feel like Monet. |

MummyGwen: Okay. Let's breakdown this your statement. Your baby is 6 months old and you have changed crèches twice in three months. This means she started crèche when she was 3 months old. At 3 months, what were you feeding her? Wasn't it just milk or did you introduce solids at that age? You've said in your previous posts that she takes breastmilk very well. So where you expressing milk for her to take to crèche at 3 months? If not, then what was she having at the crèche? If she was rejecting formula or bottle at 3months, did it ever occur to you that it might be that she was uncomfortable with the teat of the feeding bottle? Maybe the teat was too hard for her or the flow from the teat was too slow for her? Did you consider changing the teat or trying another formula brand? Have you had her checked to see if she's not down with tonsillitis as this makes swallowing very difficult/painful in babies? Finally, you fail to remember that your baby is only 6 months old. Let it sink it into your skull that your baby is only 6 months old and not 6 years old. Her sense of touch, smell and taste are still developing. 10 Likes |

farydah: Madam. Please speak for yourself. I have a 15 months old son and I have NEVER 'spank', 'tap' or 'knock' ed him. Some of us actually live in countries where we are accountable for our actions and there are family courts that won't hesitate to take a child from the parents. A baby here doesn't belong to the parents technically. Bring harm to that child and the government steps in, takes the child away and the parents have no contact till the child is 18years. U "knock" a child on the head and he faints and you rush him to A&E. A brain scan or CT scan is done and brain bleed is detected. Which mouth do you want to use to explain what you've done? Can't believe that you actually think it's okay to abuse/assault a baby physically and cheering her on that "it's okay" and "other mums" do it. 8 Likes |

Helovesme you really don't have the right to call anyone a bad mother because she spank her baby.I don't care which saner environment you are living but I think you shouldn't.do to your kid what you think is best for them but don't try and smother someone else with your opinion. I tap my baby bottom today when he threw up all his medicine and yes he is six months old. 24 Likes 3 Shares |
