In addition to the constipation issue,I just want to say incorporate a lot of veggies into your meal.I used to go to toilet once every 3 to 4 days thinking it was how my body worked until I had a severe constipation issue.suppositories weren't working anymore and then with the help of Google I had to advise myself.

Imagine eating a plate of rice n stew with fried plantain,chicken and kpomo or eating semo with native soup,ni fibre anywhere.The body keeps struggling to process this foods ofcourse slowly thereby keeping it for long in the body which eventually will become hard.the result is hard poop,pile ,colon issues etc.

veggies aside water helps the body a lot.it is what our bodies understand and thankfully very cheap.It provides bulk and fibre to our stool also softening it so that it slides out peacefully from the colon to the toilet bowl.

#200 cabbage can serve an individual for 3 meals,ugu ,carrots etc.make it a huge part of your meal.This applies to our kids and bf babies as well.when I started it in my house dh asked me whether we were goats but now everybody enjoys it and our digestive issues are gone.
Infact I poop everyday now☺

Ive tried different nipples still the same reaction. It's like she's just forgotten how to. I'd try formula with cup and spoon but formula is so watery that would take eternity

U can give her pap provided u r the one making the pap and pls remove d ginger for now.

Thanks Its a family member that makes the pap. She claims she put ginger tho I can't taste any ginger. I just want to try and see if baby would even like pap if she does I'd have hers made specially. Also how do I know how much formula to add to the pap

My ds used to be like this until i discovered that i had not bn eatn enough veggies.

I started eating veggies sauce(carrots,green beans,cabbage,onions & very little amount of pepper)to eat with rice or yam. I also eat lots of lettuce,tomatoes,cucumber & onions(as salad without cream). This helped my baby to poop daily bcus now his poop has changed from "egusilike" to being "pasty".

Just up your veggies intake and also watch wat u take. Hth.

U gat to use ur discretion on formula measurement based on d qty of pap u'll prepare 4 ur lo. IMO, I'll start wth d measurement I used for lo's cereal, taste it 2 check weda the formula is sufficient n den feed ur lo n watch ur lo's facial expression.

She's on exclusive and when she pooed on Saturday morning it was much and like egusi not hard atall

Thanks I've given her. I added 3 spoons of formula to 150 ml of pap. Hope that's not too much cuz my baby loved the pap a little bit too much. Someone that's a professional spitter promptly forgot how to spit. If I remove spoon from her mouth for a second to get more pap she would throw a tantrum. But it's so messy. Her clothes and mine and my bedsheets all need changing . She ate about 50ml before I gave up. I tried feeding her from a bottle but the formula made the pap thicker and it's not really coming out from the nipple.

Are you on EBF, if yes this procedures aren't worth it as it's very normal for babies on ebf to go days even as far as 2weeks without poo. It helps them gain weight so please stop the anus robbing/hot water.

fart is totally normal, don't give any herbs biko no Jedi Jedi.

Poop isn't green so I'm not sure wat it is
I hope u wash n sterilise bottles properly?
I don't really know much about ORS cos I've never had cause to use it but if it's a home remedy that can help, u can go ahead.

alryt ma, then stop the hot water and robbing of her anus cuz nothing is wrong with your lo. my ds then could go 2weeks before pooing while I poo everyday o. now he stays abt 6-7 days before he poos.

Breastmilk is the perfect food for babies, as their digestive systems develop, it is completely utilized hence no waste in the form of poo. Your baby not pooing everyday is fine

As for feverish feeling please don't self medicate. See a doctor to prescribe what you can take cos you're breastfeeding.

If you're giving pap in a bottle you need to open the tip more. Use a flea knife or a new scissors and cut the tip a bit. That way it flows better.

Also you may want to make it a bit lighter too

Thanks a lot for this. I made it very light but my SIL told me I always have to cook the pap if it's for baby dunno if that's true. I sha cooked it and that thickened it a bit then the formula. Also Do you think three spoons of milk is ok for one hundred and fifty ml

Lolllzzzz, who no like better tin? If she has given approval by eating, I guess u shd stick to d measurement or if ur intuition tells u 2 reduce d formula measurement, jst reduce a lil bit n see her reaction. Ndo, 4 d mess (Na normal tinz... Lolllzzzz). Our generation is even enjoying as per pampers v helped a lot compared to wen Na napkin era (we 4 really see post partum depression like season film). It's well sis.hope u dey sing ur village song n nt Fuji while feeding lo mk d pap dey go straight 2 its final bstop?
As 4 d thickness of d pap, mayb u'll mk a lil bit watery so dt wen u add formula it won't turn to eko.

I always cook my baby's pap on fire too but I think the milk is small.. I use lots of milk but whatever your daughter prefers. A friend son doesnt like his pap with milk but takes the milk separately. I do think you are the best judge on what to do, hth..

Hi mamas longest time, how are ur los doing? Aunty Flow knocked me down since oh. Since I have never had this kind of heavy flow in my life, Even DH pitied me (changed pad every 2hrs with intermittent annoying cramps)
My dear son clocked 6months a week ago, Introduced Aptamil and pap and he took it, we have been EBF but he eats little per time. Gave him gerber cereal this night and the guy enjoyed himself. I'm so grateful to God

Pls if u are having issues with diaper pls try Asda little angel( this diaper is Epic, super dry). God bless the mama that mentioned it.
