Giving my baby pap n cereal is war but she loves normal adult food,so I prepare to her texture e.g she loves potato ,carrot and chicken cooked and mashed together, swallow(amala,plantain n rice flour) with crayfish fortified ewedu/okro, Apple and banana puree mixed or separate,avocado,egg york,beans(without back) n basically anything... so u can try normal adult food just blend/mash for her age.

beyedew:Thanks. Her father insists I boil bottled water. I just wanted to know if that's a thing. Thanks to everyone else that replied me TashaStPatrik:my baby had to take formula (NAN1) for a few weeks cuz breastmilk supply was poor, she started rejecting formula as soon as I started breastfeeding well. Many babies do this, I don't think it's because of the kind of family. If you milk supply has improved and you can do it, maybe you should switch to exclusive breastfeeding, if not don't let her defeat you, give someone else to feed her too. 1 Like |

dapotemi: The sucking of the nose is ok. As it removes the phlegm and eases baby for a while. If you are not comfy with MIL sucking nose, you can get an nasal aspirator. Comes in two types, the bulb type and the sucking type.... both in pics below. Get some olbas for babies and put on her bib it will help ease the congestion. After a bath, rub her chest, sides, back and soles of her feet with some baby grade metholatum. If you dont have this you can mix half robb with half shea butter. To dilute it. Also you will find that laying her flat on her back will make the congestion worse so if you may find she sleeps better on her bouncer or you can lift the front legs of her crib with a book or something so her head is more elevated. Please DO NOT use a pillow. You can use a folded blanket.... UNDER.. the head of her mattress. If at any time you see she may be struggling to breathe ( i.e using plenty energy with excessive chest movements) please take her immediately to the hospital hope it helps. Good luck and welcome to parenthood. 3 Likes 1 Share

AlphaHandMaiden: Well done Dad. My ds of 6weeks was down with catarrh. I carried him to GH and he was nebulized. I was told to do steam inhalation . Take off his or her cloth, pour hot water intonation bucket, put a drop of eucalyptus menthol/oil and get someone to cover you and the baby for some few minutes . It has really worked well. Do it for upto 6 times daily to get effective. My son is fine now 2 Likes |

Lovely weekend to everyone. Pls what can I give my six months old baby to ease passage of her stool apart from water. I think she's having constipation, she's been straining to pass stool since yesterday. I also want to ask if the food she's taking could be d cause(nutriben and NAN2), this is d second time she's having d constipation issue this month. We were on EBF just started dis with her when she clocked six months. Pls any suggestion? |

yseries: How thick do u make her cereals? Add more water to make it lighter if it's too thick. Give her water in between meals Giver her water first thing in d morning b4 any meal. I gave my baby mashed watermelon this morning n she pooped well n it was soft. It's my first time ever trying it sha. U can try it too n see if it ll make a difference. Pls make sure u remove all d seeds well. |

Giddyperson:I agree with other mama. if ur milk supply has improved. plz continue with exclusive. it's too early to change her milk to prevent diarrhea. in my own case. my milk supply never improved and I had to continue with nan1.and the fact I resumed work after 2months. Lo is 3months plus and when I changed her milk to cow and gate(not the foreign one). her poo texture and frequency changed which caused weight loss. so my candid advise is once milk supply is good. focus on that and less of formula. but if otherwise. u can try nan1. |

TashaStPatrik:In addition to all the remedies the other mamas have given always make sure you raise the neck up and add palm kernel oil or ori after each bath to serve as barrier between sweet and the neck. |

Try enque's suggestion but subsequently note that its important to give plenty water once you introduce solids. Nutriben and Nan2 are fine yseries: |

Biko Zaynie and other mamas can I give pap to a four month old. I'm tired of trying to get her to suck from a bottle she's just not having it. I'm thinking of trying pap and feeding her with a spoon. Also the pap is currently have is dawa the brown pap and it has little ginger can i give her that |

Giddyperson: You can spoon feed her the formula. Also you can buy cereals for 4m above.... Let's see if she'll take the spoon |

queensnow: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 |
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by zaynie(f): 12:13pm On Aug 21, 2017 |
Giddyperson: She can start Pap at 4m,you still have to support with some kind of milk: breastmilk or formula. It's the additives I'm not so sure of especially ginger. Heinz cereal is a favorite. I also like Cerelac. Gerber also makes a wide range of baby foods. Be sure to get the one that states the particular age. I know Heinz has for 4m cos Atinuke started early too with it. 1 Like 2 Shares |
