Sorry oh but this statement is based on .........

A very good number of baby cereals (branded) are based on oats and wheat.

If a baby has a particular intolerance or allergy to oats or wheat, that is an individual and isolated incident. Not a generic one that applies to ALL infants.

Countless babies world wide have been weaned on these cereals the only recomendation is that it is cooked properly as with most foods you give a child.
And as with all foods is an allergy or intolerance is observed, then the stop giving that food.

American academy,see above.
Meanwhile oats are one of the least allergenic cereals.

OK. May God help us..

Mamas in Magodo,Shangisha,Ikosi-Ketu environs can now get Rotavirus vaccine for free at the Ikosi PHC.

Happychildlove, if the PHC in ifako-ijaiye is administering for free too then I'm almost sure that all PHC's in Lagos now have it.

Rotavirus vaccine is administered orally and helps to prevent rotavirus infections which often leads to diarrhoea in babies.

Cheers everyone.

After I've paid 10k twice baa
They should better make 12m own free

Plenty plenty money shall God give to you all the time.
They didnt even put all those special vaccines on their card for 12 months and above. They will give you only vit. A o.
Start saving up so that body no go pinch you when 12 months reach.

God's protection be on you and all that is yours.

Pls can any mama help with natural suggestions?

Morayolae:


Very good position...

It is a risky position.

You replied a 2012 post moreover sleeping on the chest for babies is no more encouraged . This is to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

If you have to put a baby to sleep on his chest. Make sure you are awake beside the baby for proper guidance.

Rota vaccine is for diarrhea and vomiting. Are they administering it free of charge? Please talk ooo, let me know where I can start searching for it here, cos 15k for rota 1 and 2 plus transport to buy it no be here. I have asked my sis in bmh (state govt hospital) and she says they don't have it. Ppl using Uniport shld confirm, b4 I spend this 15k.

presently I see some health workers giving it free, am even surprised as well that was why I came here to ask cos I know it's 15K

thanks ma , I was told they will still repeat d exercise by next month too

AlphaHandMaiden:


Once a baby has crossed 12 months they can eat most adult food. Cereal-wise I will say crush to make the pieces smaller. Ensure that there are no added sugar or salt and avoid the sugar coated ones like frosted flakes and the Choco this or strawberry that. You can also mix with baby rice to get a thicker texture if your baby prefers it like that.

Nutrient wise, you will need to vary her meals. Just keep throwing all variety at her. If she likes Swallow mix it up, semo, amala, pounded yam, rice flour... I am not a fan of eBa but you may want to try a small quantity.

You may want to substitute the normal whole milk for toddler milk which is fortified with added vitamins Although these are more expensive and should not really be used as a meal substitute.

Also try finger foods she can eat at her own pace, the cleaning may be plenty afterwards but that may just be the solution to feed her some and let's her seat some by herself

Thanks alot for this, I really appreciate

Good morning mamas. My baby of 4months plus is on exclusive breastfeeding but on Saturday he was forcefully given formula by my sister in law, ("my boy' that is the name of the formula), on Monday he started poo like 10times(green colour) I started using ors and zinc, though the colour is yellowish now but he is still pooing, just small quantity but like 8 times in a day with much grunting before passing it out. Please help me what can I do?............................ ...

Good morning mamas, please I want to know if this is normal

I read somewhere here that some babies react that way to Rota. Some mamas complained of such, although my son didn't react to it at all.

nahzyla:


Choi, 16 months, you have really tried o.
I guess babies sleep all night after they are weaned.

I'm planning to wean her soon.

My son reacted to the first one. Vomiting;was given injections and saline through IV. I was told to allow the explosive poop to run its course and it later stopped.

Take the baby to the hospital

Ban your SIL from your house

You try giving her using a syringe.
A better option is to allow some other person apart from you feed her. During the feeding, dont stay nearby cos she will be able to perceive your smell and may still refuse.

Cheers.

It will run its course. Don't fret.
If I were you, i will give him ors with zinc to avoid dehydration.
Maintain a high level of hygiene as well.

Forcefully On what grounds? Without your consent??
Don't leave your baby with anyone without leaving specific instructions on how he should be looked after.
Those kind of SIL's will be the type that would put tribal mark on a child before the mother arrives.

Go to the hospital to have him checked although I'm quite sure the poo consistency and color will be restored to normal.

cheers

SIL that needs beating

Imagine the rubbish
