MojAyo: Hello mums,pls advice me on dis,when giving my soon to be 8month baby food (cerelac),he sometimes wants to throw up,which I usually blow wind on his head to prevent vomiting,what did u think it is,is it also a teething related problem,though he has two teeths in his mouth which come out recently,and he also like to bite me while breastfeeding him
Try giving him smthg else. He may nt like d cerelac. I noticed my baby does dat too, bt nt wt all foods, so i try to gv more of wot he likes.Babies shld taste different foods, nt just one.

Hi mamas in da house,

My baby is 11days old, he got his BCG immunization yesterday nd since then he's been uneasy, he's not been able to sleep like before wen he eats nd sleep. I want to know if its normal and what other signs should I expect. Also if I need to give him any drugs although he's not running temperature.
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by FINA4804(f): 7:03pm On Oct 01, 2014
From experience I make sure it gets to one month because the milk I am using is quit expensive. Like I said if you want to follow instructions it will last for one month.

My baby, at 7mths was majorly on formula and cereal. He consumed about 28oz per day.

When I was using Aptamil, it used to last about 8days ot slightly more

When I switched to Enfamil, it was about 5days...

Aptamil was 900grams; Enfamil was 625g

It is dependent on the directions on the tin of your formula.

Aptamil does 1scoop to 1oz of water
Enfamil does 1 scoop to 2oz of water

My advice - Make the pap thick at first, like you want to take it. Then mix formula according to the manufacturer's directions. Now pour this formula into the thick pap...that way, the milk will thin it out.

If you make it thin already, and add the prepared formula again, it will be too thin.

Pls don't mise formula for your baby, they need it and should supply a bulk percentage of your baby's total dietary needs. Even if it is the cheapest formula you can buy, it is still better than him/her not getting enough.

Pap is not nutritionaly complete for a growing baby, no matter how many additives you add to it. Your baby needs IRON, DHA, CHOLINE, AA, and MANY other things which pap or soya whatever does not contain.

Go to this website - homemadebabyfoods.com ....there are many recipes for home made foods. If you can't afford the imported Cerelac, the Nigerian cerelac will do. You can also buy gerber rice cereal...rice cereal contains a lot of Iron that they need. It is 750-800, but lasts about 2 weeks or more, as they only need a few scoops per day.

There are many cheap and decent quality baby foods out there...just do your search. Don't malnourish your baby because of a few hundreds of Naira.

Bless you.

You can mix it with anything he eats, just as you are already doing. Make beans for him, veryyy soft, almost a puree and add formula. You can also make mashed potatoes and add formula.

That way, you will realise that at the end of the day, he will be getting the required amount of milk he needs.
