Pls Pls, don't use agbo. Agbo is a medicine, just like any other drug in the pharmacy and it has no dosage! Pls, your baby's liver is still young...don't overload it just because they say agbo is natural.

yeah,bt just a tiny liTtle bit will do,I'm nt saying of her overloading d agbo for him,seriously it do works,agbo is what these pharmaceutical transform into modern medicine dis days,about d dosage,dats why I said a tiny little bit will do,ciao

Hello mothers,am a father I need help on my 2 years old girl..sumtimes last week she had a serious flu by midnight she ran a very high temp and convusted in a bid to revive her n safe her mothes finger which was btw her teeth I had to force a little part of a spoon in her mouth she did responded mornin we consulted a doctor who gave her treatment for malaria..she medicated on malaria drugs n antibiotics..she is fully recoverd now but days ago we discover'd sour in her mouth which makes her unable to eat..we were told it's called ma je ata(yoruba)dat we should use lime in cleaning her mouth and then administer folic acid and vit C..now she as started eatin well,but yet still feels pain as we discoverd dat each area we treated is been healed..either new ones are emerging who we just dn't see some sour ealier..am very scared as she bleeds in her mouth at every little touch and smells each time she wakes from sleep..cld it b.d spoon that injured her in the mouth or the antibiotics that pushed d infection out in her mouth as sum1 said or the ma je ata as yoruba call it...thou d places in her mouth dat d sour's are places I doubt d spoon actualy reached..pls advice what could be the cos n wat else can we use besides d above mentioned medication

bossladyMo:

Pls buy formula for your baby, and don't substitute with soya milk or whatever. There is a reason it is called FORMULA. It is formulated specifically to contain all the nutrient your baby needs in the right amount and proportions. Buy a good formula and add to your baby's pap.

Also, I would avoid putting anything like crayfish or nuts in yourbby's food for now. Some babies are allergic to crayfish and nuts at this young age. If you are worried about protein, the formula you add will make up for that.

dear,about d pap issue,the corn,guinea corn and millet,am I going to soak it all together or differently

FINA4804: @mojayo, just as bossladymo has said, for me then when I was using pap I put the soyabeans the morning mi want to grind, if you have the time you can do all the frying but you still have to use formula and start with little to see if your baby likes it. For me after going through the hard work my baby rejected it so she doesn't take pap and she is very healthy but I pray yours will receive it.

dear,when u want to soak d(corn,guinea corn and millet)do u soak it altogether or separately

Once a child is running temperature, don't let her get to the point of convulsion. Give her paracetamol immediately then sponge her down with lukewarm water (tepid not cold water o).

As for the sores, its a reaction a lot of people get after malaria not cause of the spoon. I don't really know why. Cool foods and drinks can help relieve discomfort, and ibuprofen or acetaminophen may also ease the pain. Use only soft-bristle toothbrushes and be careful not to brush too hard. Avoid spicy, salty, and acidic foods (such as lemons and tomatoes), which can aggravate tender mouth sores. Give folic acid, B12 and Vit C

With time, they should fade away. If it continues past 7days, consult your doctor.

Hello to all the sabi mamas,I'm 20 weeks now,thank God I'm past the weakness n puking stage,pls I want to know if it's okay to take zobo drinks instead of the usual minerals,thanks for ur replies

@otonzy;,i don't think zobo is harmful because i drank it like water when i was pregnant and nothing happened to my baby,but i will still say moderation is the key word in pregnancy.

Milk is essential for your baby,pls don't substitute for Any other thing you can use soya beans but don't forget to add milk

@empro07, please the cure for that sore is vitamin B12. It is sold in all pharmacy. Ask your doctor if she can take it. Ask for B12 or tongue peel. I normally experience it alot recently I saw the supplement and it has being helpful. But just as someone has said it may be post maleria effect that will stop on its own.
@moyAyo, I normally soak everything together for two days

julijuu: @mojayo yes s0ak it together f0r 2days dats h0w I d0 mine and yes fomula is best

My son did that too, around that same age. Now he is walking normal and does not tip toe anymore. Don't worry, he will 'normalise' soon.

It depends on the kind of cream ypu are using. Is it a moisturising lotion? What exactly is written on d pack?

Hello mummies in the house, my 9 months old daughter, doesn't like pap at all, she feeds well however on cereal pls hope it doesn't mean if she doesn't take d pap at all, how can I use formular for her since she doesn't take pap. Thank u

It doesn't matter, my baby do not take pap, just give her the cereal she likes and add the formula to her cereal

I never knew formular can be added to cereal, on d container it is instructed to just add water.

Even when it says water, i still add formula. You can also give your baby bottles of formula to drink, without adding anything.

Formula can also be incorporated into othrr foods like mashed potato, beans...

Sorry, is formula=baby milk? If that's so, some cereals are originally prepared with milk, thus, it's not advisable to add formula. You could prepare milk solution for your LO separately. You could add to pap, oat meal, puree, etc.

Formula is baby milk, yea. Cereals like cerelac say no need for milk, but I like to make mine richer by adding extra milk....doesn't hurt.

Doesn't hurt, really OK

Yes mothers I add formula to all my babies food because she does not drink milk and you know it is needed, so like a mum say to make it richer and most times the milk they add is not just enough well if hou want to follow instructions you can go for food that do not have milk like gerber products, heinz packet, cow and gate. Etc.

jboixxx:

Look at it this way....your baby takes cerelac that has milk added already, and after he is done, drinks a 5oz bottle of formula to top up.....AND....you mix in the 5oz bottle he would have taken with the cerelac, and feed.
It still boils down to the same thing.

It's just like saying because Milo, for example, already contains milk, so you shouldn't add milk again....but we all know it still requires milk to taste better.

The only harm is if you don't mix the formula with the right amount of water.

Exactly. My son didn't even like it without the extra milk. Besides, he wasn't eating, so I needed to get the required amount of formula into him, one way or the other...so I put it in almost everything he ate, from beans to rice cereal to cerelac.
