If you are spoon feeding cereal, add as much milk to get the right consistency. You are right, thr is nothing like too much milk.

I make my own puddings, purees,smoothies. The only things i buy now r just formula and cereal. I'll suggest not adding milk to fruit puree, just let your baby get accustomed to the taste of fresh fruits. You can sometime add milk and bottle feed as smoothie.

Sorry to disturb you but in adding formula to cereal and purees, do I use normal strength .i.e. D normal consistency baby take normally or do I reduce the water thereby getting a thicker milk?

favoredgal:


There is negative review about every product on earth by dear.

The best way is to make your own everything

Welldone onegai. That's the way to go

You are missing the point. A product meant for babies and it has 90% negative reviews If you are amongst the lucky 10%, take it and run with it.

I was just trying to refute the claim the Johnson's products made in this USA are good while the ones made in Nigeria or South Africa are bad.

For example, my baby takes 180ml which is 6 scoops of formula. For spoon feeding cereal, I make 120ml (4 scoops) of formula....pour it in his bowl and add enough cereal to get this consistency. Make sure you make the formula in a bottle first, shake it to dissolve properly before pouring in a bowl.

Thanks for the links, will look it up

Wow!!! I'm impressed...You are super crunchy. Kudos to you.

nefertitiram:


I actually saw somewhr online that lotions are not to be used on baby's skin. Will post the when i see it again. Nevertheless, perhaps other Johnson products (head.to toe wash, etc) may be good enough.
I bought the Johnson set for $10, and aveeno goes for $20, soup wey sweet... hummnn

Mothers who hv treated their lo of nracha, pls what and what did you use or give to them?

Mothers that are complaining about baby lotions.
Has anyone tried BOOTS products? I use the lotion,oil,powder,shampoo,soap for my daughter.. Five months plus,no rash,no reactions.. And my baby has a lot of folds on her neck and laps..yet no rash or any skin problem at all.
Though I use shea butter for her hair, infact,people stare at her whenever we go out cos its so long and full.

I use shea butter alone except for the few times I use anoited olive oil and I dont apply it in the morning..but most importantly I wash once in 15days and condition with egg yolk. Then I cover her head overnight with net(I use the cap used for bonding,it goes for just 50bucks.

Although, I think it migh t be herediatry cos I get comments about my hair too

TopeMel:
Dear Mothers, why do babies open one eye than the other?

Mamas, kindly help with this. I noticed that he sometimes opens one eye wider than the other. Is this normal?

Mamas, who has or is using Complan, Complan beverages and Horlicks for her baby frm 12mths. Would like to know the benefits.
And would there be need for toddler milk, as i hear babies can take adult/cow milk from 12mths.
I anticipate ur responses oooo

Cos she has very soft n curly hair even though we cut it @ 7days (Muslim tins). I also noticed it has dat component dat onegai says dries d hair. I looked everywhere 4 baby conditioner bt I dint find and had 2 settle 4 boots cos I know its a very good brand. I also use Shea butter 2 rub her hair always. Now I can use it without fear, its just 1ce a week anyway.

she's 5.2mths. That's why I use the flexible cap for her and not the regular thick head net

mamas that add crayfish to their baby's pap how do u prepare the crayfish n store it. I think i once read here that one should stir fry it a little to ensure its dry n then blend. is this OK?
after grinding will it be OK to just leave it at room temp or it has to b in d freezer?
at what stage of cooking the pap does one add the crayfish.
I'm also guessing d pap should not be too thick

in short my baby s stopping exclusive n I want to start introducing pap . cereal n formula sabi mamas I need advice o.

Pls how can I help my baby poop. Her poop is hard and she is straining to pass it

Hernyolar:

I just started using complan cuz of my inlaw's insistence that my baby needs some flesh.

It's day 2 and she is seriously constipated already.

A serving contains 250 calories so if you are not trying to pad your baby up not sure it's the way to go

My hair dresser made didi 4 her which she carried 4 almost 2weeks n I rested. Now I'm not in lag n I'm back 2 d war of washing, combing n making puffs. Some times I ll just b threatening her wit hair cut, she ll Just b lookn @ my face. I'm seriously lookn 4 who can b making d didi here 4 me cos not everyone can plait baby hair.

You can introduce formula. Nan 1 is okay if she tolerates it.
