Hmmmn, sincerely speaking, I am so tired and exhausted. I made the beans this afternoon, they tasted just three spoons as usual and refused taking it again. I don't know what else to do, I have tried almost every cereal I know, semi draw soup, Pap, bought august secrets foods yet they won't eat. All they want is breast milk, then they ear mashed yam / potatoes and butter well. They dont take formular alone except i mix with cereal even that only three spoons. I am exhausted !

Try gerber rice or oats, mix it with gerber apple juice, don't add any milk oh. I am sure they will love it. When my second child rejected every food from cereals to adult food, to the extent that he became weak and cried all the time cos d breast milk was no longer enough for him, Gerber foods restored his appetite

Yeah. Formula feeding isn't stressful at all!
She can even teach her hubby or anyone staying with her how to prepare it and then she will rest too.

My son has been formula fed since he was 3 weeks old and his poo has never been hard. And he's healthy.

Dont be tired ooo biko
did u try the mashed banana iomoge recommended?

let me share my experience ;
So i woke up today and decided that we will try mashed sweet potatoes+titus fish for the first time. I made it and started feeding her with all the joy in my heart,

she took the 1st spoon and made the usual gra-gra face....
took the 2nd spoon and wanted to spit it out but changed her mind grin...
took the 3rd spoon and was still doing the face but she no spit am out o
took up to 7 spoons and dozed off...

I trashed the rest, thankfully I didnt make so much... At least we have tried a new meal today, and even though she didnt eat much cos its still new to her, I trust that next time she will do more than 7 spoons.

when it comes to babies and introducing new meals, one needs to 'wear patience like a cloak' grin grin

Couldn't try the banana because of rain. Was unable to go to the market. I'll definitely try it
I'll not give up. I'll keep trying. I know there's a food he must take. I just need to figure it out

if you are doubting the importance of vaccination, then you need to read the untold story of chickenpox. I bet, you are going to be flabbergasted.

Ma'am I think you should be patient with them cos as time goes on they will adapt,so am not the only one going through the frustration of child rejecting food..I now pray to God daily to touch the boys heart because am really frustrated,i got a multivitamin that doubles as appetite stimulant VITANE ,you can check it out,he has improved a bit ever since I started giving it to him..shalom

Pls, don't give him those measured milk o. You can give start giving him Nido or any other brand but make sure its full cream milk and not filled version,

Also, I think peak 123 is good also cos I know of mothers giving their babies and no complain. Just take note of any reaction while he is on it, then if you are not comfortable, change it.

Though I read it here sometimes ago that the sugar in peak 123 is much.

thanks dear. You are right about the sugar in peak 123. Anyways,my eyes are open for any reaction.
I think most of this toddler milk are skimmed milk,i stand to be corrected...my regards to your fam.

Miksi is not that bad. Although I prefer nido,normal Peak or Dano. It boils down to preferences. At 1, your baby should have other sources of calcium and not only milk. You can boil bones and give them the water to drink. The bone marrow is very nutritious.
thanks for this.

I'm not in a position to advise you Nne.
The boots I bought before giving birth 4in1 is what finished recently, so I thought to try Chiccocheesy

You know what?
Use NL search bar to search for aveeno then Sebamed

You should see mamas opinion.

Please how willmdis work for a baby who is on exclusive as the mother has the breast milk? Except she has to express in different bottles at night and keep for DH. I don't know if I'm right

Yes you're right. Sorry I forgot to mention that.
I always express about 500ml every morning and divide into bottles & store in the fridge for that purpose.

Mama, if some muslims work there, then I believe it's a 'dress code' policy and not a 'no muslims' policy; a dress code the hospital expects you to abide by irrespective of your religion.

Don't give up the search just yet. You ll find a suitable job In Shaa Allah.

@ the bolded. Judge not.

Don't give up dear, when my baby rejected oaths too what I did was to blend banana with the oaths then mix with his formula and guess what he loves it. You can try that too.

Sweetie if you don't eat well it will affect your milk production. Also if you need to introduce formula till you adjust don't feel guilty, the only important thing is for your baby to be healthy. You can even stop the formula when your production is better or you're well rested. If you have a breast pump you can express for dh to help you feed and you can sleep. You need to be rested and healthy so you can take care of your baby

Thank you dear

Mamas in the house, I hail oh.
@ fruitful home, I don't want to believe it's because u breastfeed while lying down that is the cause. If it is so, my 3 kids would have had d same problem. In short I am suppose to receive an award for that, I don't get up when my baby cries, I ll just shift her close to me and put breast in her mouth, did same for my older kids, I never visited d hospital once

How I go do now? So I was told my MIL and my mum ooo. I can't even tell them about the puss because they wil blame and crucify me. I read online that one of the causes could be bottle feeding baby while he is lying down. That is why I'm feeling whether its true

Mummy ibeji pls don't be tired, I also tried the beans yesterday and same thing happened, I will still try it again sha. Babies are like that they reject it at first but you try again till you get how they like it. My boy rejected oaths and rice cereal at first but took it when I blended it with banana. He takes pap very well, semo and amala with ewedu and eats rice with me when I am eating. May Jehovah bless all our efforts. kiss kiss to them.
