StevensJojo: Start from like when she is 2month 2weeks. I started training mine at that time and now she sit well at 3m+. Though i dont allow her to sit herself ohh until when she want to. Then also involve her in exercise like folding legs on her playmat, stretching hands and pulling hand close to you to sit. PS: To do this exercise, please make sure her neck is stable a bit before engaging it this. You can get more exercise tips on youtube or baby center. |

faithisallihave:As long as she accepts bm it's very ok! Then you can sneak in the formula/regularly milk into her cereals cos milk is good for her developing bones and teeth. Just find a way to make sure milk is in her daily food routine. 2 Likes |

realsupermum: Just some tips from a natural haired woman. Get a moisturizing shampoo for her. Conditioner for co-washing Coconut oil/Shea butter A very wide tooth comb. You can co-wash every day and shampoo wash once a week. Section her hair into 4 and apply coconut oil and Shea butter on each section and massage into the hair while detangling with your fingers. Hold the hair by the base and gently comb the tips of the hair and move to the base. If you can find it, buy a leave-in conditioner for babies for her Never comb the hair when it's dry. If you want to comb it in-between baths, just sprinkle water on her hair to moisturize it first before combing. The LOC method (Liquid e.g water, Oil e.g coconut oil and Cream e.g Shea butter) helps the hair to retain it's moisture. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

Akorkor pull ups are just to help toddlers get used to the idea of wearing pants (pull up feature) while still keeping the function of disposable diapers. |

realsupermum:Shea butter is great for hair softening! Apply a generous amount while the hair is still wet and comb through. Try segmenting her hair into four parts and gently comb each section rather than combing all at once. 3 Likes |

realsupermum: Combing the hair without washing is very painful, please stop.. Buy baby ribbons and knot the hair then loose them the day you want to wash it and knot again till another wash and so on.... that's what I do for my dd and I comb her hair part by part with a lot of singing and distractions. Also apply oil daily on it like that. 1 Like |

Liftedhands: Ok. But i was thinking to get her ovaltin. She doesn't like sweet foods. Ribinna n co is a no no her. |

iomoge2: Although I am a new mum and I don't really have experience but I think you should take it easy on what you give your beautiful daughter. I read and my gynaecologist even advised that baby should start solid food from 6month upward because that's when there digestive system is strong. So gentle gentle on ovaltin or beverages. Biko |

realsupermum: Never comb natural hair on children when its dry....than ma my motto. Get a spritz bottle, fill it with water. When you nees to comb her hair, spray some water on her hair, massage it in, leave for a while for the hair to absorb it a minute or two is fine, add your oil and cream. Then comb. ( you can mix a bit of leave in conditioner to the water) When combing start at the tips to detangle and work your way to the base . Always hold the bottom of the hair so you are not pulling the scalp. With all these precautions you will think dd's hair go done reach waist oh...... the thing is still there hugging the scalp! 3 Likes 1 Share |

iomoge2: Ovaltine although rich in vitamins still has sugar! And lots of it. Whatever benefit it'll give will be inconsequential cos of the sugar content. It's recommended to leave chocolate drinks out of children's diet at least till age one! Juice inclusive. Children can easily get addicted to the sweetness thus reject other foods later. 2 Likes |

Doynb:My son had it and I initially thought I may have used very hot water to bathe him but it kept spreading. So I stopped his chicco lotion and used coconut oil, I applied it generously with gentle massage. You can try it and see if it helps, try not to peel the scales off cos it leaves a red patch that is painful afterwards​. Note I didn't towel dry his body before applying o I guess the skin needed moisture the dry flaky stopped eventually and I also reduced his bathe to once a day as against the twice daily which may have stripped his skin of oil. 1 Like |

Doynb: This is the baby "eczema" we were talking about some days ago. What worked for us is E45 moisturizing lotion. One mama said Vaseline worked for her, Shea moisture baby eczema range worked for one and another said Aveeno eczema therapy worked. So choose what you can based on your pocket 2 Likes |

iomoge2: Tea has some caffein in it. So its not advisable. For all the other beverages, wait till at least a year old. All she should be having now is milk and water, not even fruit juice . I believe someone mentioned you can blend with fruits.... that is another healthier way to add variety Later on if you decide to give other drinks, reduce the quantity of the beverage or dilute well, for instance if i want to give dd milo, i fill the cup with milk and add a small teaspoon of milo just enough to change the colour and taste abit. For ribena and other squash like drinks.... add more water than you would for an older person. Plus.... sometimes the thrill for this children isnt what they are drinking but the fact that it is coming from a cup! 1 Like |

Doynb: Chai my dear here are the possible causes of that patch: Very hot water: pls I beg reduce that hot water to warm please Soap: use baby soap and not medicated or antiseptics its too harsh on baby skin Powder: in case you use mentholated dusting power, stop. If you're guilty of one of the above, stop it asap then it will vanish on its own. May God help us. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
