For the past one month now,I expect my son to get bigger but he is becoming like me(lepa) but this is a boy that weighed 4kg at birth.He is 5 months old and he is on exclusive breastfeeding .We discovered that nowadays that he sucks his fingers a lot and put anything he lays his hand on into his mouth.All these leave us to worry may be he is tired of breastfeeding alone .And besides,he likes breastfeeding every time and after being fed ,he start cyring and making moves to suck again .Please,I want him chubby and I don't want him to be too slim like me .Can we start giving him all these tinned formulae or what is it called ?If yes,can you tell me which is the best for a 5-month old baby ?I mean the one that can change his weight .Lest I forget ,he weighed 4kg at birth and he is still 6.8 kg at five months!!!

Hello mums, please i need ideas on activities to keep my 15month old son busy for at least 1 hour, or is 1 hour too much I just need him to let me rest small on weekends.
He doesnt like to watch cartoons, he is always looking for something to carry, drag, pull out, scatter. Help me pleaseeee

Same with mine, I tot it awkward for a toddler not to like cartoon, he just likes dragging chairs scattering tinz, cooking imaginary food with my pots, bring my pots from the cabinet, play with water n once in a while he plays with his squad bike by pinning d bike to 1 corner, press d buttons n touching the tyres as it's rolling , very annoying sometin.

Iyawotuntun:

Lol, just allow him scatter, it is u that will not mind d scattering, what I usually do is to remove important and dangerous things out of his reach, i close my room door and d kitchen door and let him be, if i get to doze off by d time i open my eyes it will b as if an elephant entered d house but i ve learnt to only arrange whe he is really tired of playing and wants to sleep, naso we go dey manage d scattered parlor o

As in, may God help us ooo. The funniest part is if my son's is scattering on a normal level n he sees u re coming towards him to stop him, the way he will quickly scatter d tin eh ... like let me do quickly b4 she reach here , hubby used to ask if I am giving him rum, as am typing now he is standing in front of my dressing mirror n throwing everything on d floor, I just dey look, I can't co man kill ma self.

How old is your baby?Mine loves sleeping on his tummy though he switches to side and hardly back.We are 18mnths sha

a month

For now baby should sleep on his or her back till he/she has good neck control then you can switch just to avoid stories that touch.Baby should have good neck control by 3 or 4 months,by then you can think of other sleepiing position but for now,maintain back position.

There's Heinz cereal for 4+ months, and Gerber cereals for supported sitter. Just go to the baby cereal section of a store and make your choice. You can also try pap with a lot of milk. In a few weeks, you can start August secret cereals, cerelac, nutribom and the rest depending on which one he accepts. If you start pap and August secret cereals and he's still not fat, then you just have to embrace the fact that the boy is lepa like you

Happy birthday Giddyperson,God bless you!

Congratulations. God bless your little one.
If you are still in the hospital, have him checked by the doctor.
He might be trying to adjust to the weather but keep him warm and don't expose him to ac or fan.

Cheers

Are you sure its catarrh? I think he should be examined by a doctor.

Do I need to add milk to nutribom please?

spiceeamiee:
I want to laugh but I cant because this and many more are my current struggles. When I want to rest, I just put her on the bed and lie beside her pressing phone. The bed is quite high so she can't climb down so she stays there either pulling my nose or dragging my hair or thumping my stomach but at least I'm not shouting No. Leave there. Hey. Chai.

Spiceeee sure u’re good mama.
I’m on leave now sha and my boy is in creche, isn’t life just gooood nobody should call me out please. Leave is for resting and that is what i shall be doing.

Lool he’s practising how to be a chef, allow him na .
Really i thought it awkward at first, even my MIL thinks it is a big deal that he doesnt watch cartoons because her other grandkids did. I’ll just tell her he will watch when he is ready, abi is it everything we will read meanings to? Let him explore jare, even me i didnt watch cartoons as a child.

Good pm lovely mamas, i trust our los are treating us well God bless them for us...

Please,Ejor, Biko make una forgive me that i want to rant this afternoon.There's this my SIL though far younger to me. She stayed with us during my preggy days sometime last year even though she wasn't of much help to me in that state but i chose to overlook some of her attitude sha. When i had my twins last year,she came to the hospital and as soon as she left, the nurse(because she was around then to help me feed my babies) asked if that was my SIL as she looks like DH and i said Yes. She asked why she was so cold and not free,based on her observation she concluded that if it were to be her own sister that gave birth to twins, won't she be more happy than merely sitting coldly, though i also noticed how unfree she was so answered her that since she's still single and doesn't know yet what it means to bear a child let alone twins that i don't expect her to go overboard as her own time too will come. Now to the issue......
Note:We're not friends on most social media especially on FB. Recently i stumbled upon her picture where fb usually recommend 'people you may know' then i decided to click,lo and behold....i found my babies pics on her page where she was announcing their arrival 4 days after i put to birth(though i know she must have gotten those pics from her brother since i didn't allow anybody to take a pic of them). Now my anger is this: 1. she never ask for permission from either me or dh to post those pics on fb (2)she didn't bother to tag either me or dh on the post rather she tagged her other siblings (3) In her post, she announced: "welcome to the world my lovely twins" without even acknowledging if the mother is doind fine or not (4)one of her older sis she tagged in the pic has never bothered to either call or visited even as i write to congratulate me since i put to birth...... I brought all this to dh's knowledge and he was also surprised but asked why i didn't bring it to his notice all this while and i told him i just stumbled on it recently on FB........ Now my questions........ Is this right? Even i that gave birth hasn't gone to fb to announce yet 4days after i gave birth seeing that i was still trying to recover from CS pain and all that, It took me about a month to upload the pic on fb and that was on their baptism....Since i came across this post, i"ve been bothered,is it everything you post on fb even without the owner's express permission and knowledge? Could it be that she couldn't hide her happiness that she has to go and announce on fb even though she never really showed that happiness when she visited?

Dear mamas, i'm very sorry for the long post but please can someone tell me i'm over reacting or tell me about someone who will not react to such issue cos up till today those pics of my babies of about 3days old she put on her wall i never have them on my fb page, though i've asked dh to ask her to take those pics down.....please i'm i over reacting?

End of rant!!!!

MumIbeji:

Do I need to add milk to nutribom please?

Yeah it certainly looks and tastes better with milk plus the baby needs milk. But we sha used to drink it like that when GB was still breastfeeding and didn't like milk.

You said someone should tell you you are over reacting. So...You are over reacting

On a more serious note, I really don't see the big deal. She's family. She put up her neice and nephew on fb not you. Even if she doesn't like you, she probably likes her brother and his kids.

I don't see why her brother should ask her to take down the pics, that's just being mean. It's not like they are embarrasing or sensitive pics or you had ever asked her not to post your kids. She hasn't really done anything to you apart from be cold and lazy, which might just be her personality. I don't like seeing unnecessary rift between family esp when people are not trying to keep the kids out of it.

Good afternoon mamas!

Please I'll like to hear from mamas who have fed their babies August secret food and baby grubz, which of these food is better off I'm tired of feeding my children nutribom and pap so I'm thinking of getting either of these two foods.

Haven't tried baby grubz. August Secrets looks like pap and finishes fast but your kids would probably love it.
