He's 3 weeks old. He will be 4 weeks old on Monday

I'll follow your advice
I gave him warm water 5 minutes ago and he went back to sleep!

Dearie, Pele.
If I say I cannot relate, I am lying.

Give water early in the morning and after every formula feed.
Ehen, also, be feeling his fontannelle from time to time.
If he is properly hydrated, it won't feel sunken.

About BM, have you been taking the necessaries like pap, hot peppersoup...onugbu soup etc?

It helps. Though Pap...better pap o, might make you gain weight.
Then Mom bought one paint of yellow corn, Guinea corn and Millet.....washed it extremely well after soaking for 2 days then grounded and sieved.
I was advised to make the pap watery with enough milk. I took it morning and night.

I didn't like the speed with which I was gaining weight, but for my own DD, I will do more than that sef.

Formula feeding and warm water are like 5 and 6.

Once you introduce formula, the general advice is to introduce water to prevent constipation.

Give water at regular intervals. For example, if your baby has 6 bottles of formula a day, you can give 2 or 3 bottles of water (small sips totalling 10-20ml per feed). As your baby grows older, you can increase the quantity and frequency.

Water should never be used as a meal replacement. That is, substituting formula for water when baby is actually hungry.

Good evening mama's. Please oh my ds has constipation. He grunts and shoes when he wants to poo and someone's he only manages to fart and then after so many screams, grunts and rolling, he will poo small.

PS - I'm breast feeding and also giving him formula.
I started with SMA gold, then I switched to NAN. I've tried tummy time, and moving his legs like he's riding a bicycle but it's not working. It's so bad it doesn't let him sleep. I've equally tried reducing the number of scoops of the formula

Abeg make una help me. It's painful to see him like that everyday. It keeps him up all night which means I'm equally up all night.
Help me oooo abeg


PS - I've not started giving him water

PS - he poos everyday. Issue is when he is trying to poo, it's a battle

Mummies n daddies good morning o, am checking in live from preggy thread. I had my son a week ago and we are all doing fyn (ftm). From the little av experienced, motherhood is sweet but its gonna be a long ride, and I get plenty plenty questions already, hope am welcome? Can see my former teamates, hw far oo..

How is everyone?

This motherhood no job be like am ooo. Had to resign and am now at home. My granma left this last month and we don't want the kids to start daycare that early.

@Sayoddy, sorry about her condition. Am sure she will recover fast. Did you make the soya beans yourself or you bought it? My sil wanted to help me make it but I did not oblige her cos she might not be too careful (neat) during the processing. The kids dr also did not encourage pure soya for them so I don't even get it for them.

Myy kids don't take pap, my granma asked me to always add sugar to it (a cube of st louis), but I really don't want to introduce suger to them now, pls is sugar ok? However I add horney to it and they still don't take it. What do I add to they pap to make them like it? (pap is made of millet and guinea corn).

For now I give them, gerber, (banana, strawberry n apple blend), nutrend, n I still try to make them take pap (this one na seruios fight n begging). They eat other food we eat in very very little quantity. They will be nine months in few days. Let's I forget, I add milk to alll their food.

Am I good? But I need them to be taking pap I beg, cos it reduce cost I beggy.

Morning Mamas,

My DD's baptism is ds Saturday and her Godmother just dropped off her baptism dress.

Do I need to wash it before she wears or she can just go ahead and put it on like that? Its all wrapped and sealed and I haven't opened it yet.

Liftedhands:
My personal opinion is I wash! Whether brand new or not I MUST WASH.

Just soaking in dettol and rinsing is enough sef if it's new.

zimunachimdi:



how is baby now?

beyedew:


My sister he is ok. I gave him palm oil and I haven't seen any side effect. Thanks live for checking. How is you and yours?

sugarcanebaby:
Mamas in the house. How are we all doing. May God continual ly watch over our child( ren) .

I saw this nutristart baby formula by cow and gate. It has a white cover. I was surprised that it even goes for 2400 as against the 3300 for sma. Checked their website and didn't see the picture of nutristart.

I was tempted to get it as I've heard great reviews about cow and gate but na price hol me. Pls is it OK? Has anyone used it before? Or is it the Nigerian version like I recently discovered that even sma has the imported one

Livez:
Good Morning mamas, I have been worried. At seven weeks, we weighted 4.3kg, we were 3.4kg at birth.
Plz sabi mamas, are we on track or not?
We are on Ebf. My dd is so calm and peaceful, she doesnt even cry when hungry.

Livez:
