I m in Abuja dear and it's in most big shops here that sell baby cereal.

mimzy:


nita2013 please where can i get gerber prune. i hv searched the whole of ikeja to no avail

corrall:


Same here o, I use a clean cloth and warm water to clean my children's mouth n tongue under 6 months , then use warm salty water when they are a bit older.

Why not use lemon and warm water to clean instead of salt cos salt is not good for baby under 1 year old.

corrall:


Please when you say raw egg, I hope you are talking about only the yolk cos egg whites is not good for babies under 1

my baby is 17months old.

Hello mamas!

My LO is 6 months and 3 weeks and I started on solids at 6 months which consist of puréed foods with loads of veggies. Since I started he has been having very hard pellet like poo. I have tried water, warm water, water with brown sugar, freshly squeezed orange juice with scent leaf juice, little drops of olive oil in water at night. Nothing has changed. He strains and groans and I'm so unhappy seeing him in so much discomfort. Right now I want to revert to milk only. Please advise me. Thanks.

mamas good morning, pls come to my aid . my lo is 6months and 2weeks. for a week after birth, my lo pooed 2ce a day. after yhen till he clocked 4months he pooped once a week and he was fine. (he wont poo no matter what I did tillnits 5/7 days). after 4 months whn he started his supplementary diet, he started pooing after every 3days and whn I started him on solids at 5months plus he started pooing everyday. his poos are soft and ok. some times he cld get constipated buh he was fine. but for the past 3days, he has been pooing during feeds. he pooped 8times yesterday ( btwn 12am and 6pm). its not runny. its the regular poo. he takes pap with soya, I have stopped the soya in his pap and its still the same thing. he ddnt poo after eating amala last night. his milk is thrive signature. he has been doing well with it. pls what cld b d problem? he acts fine, he is playing and he sleeps well.but im not comfortable with the every feed pooing snc it has never happened before. i breastfed him only tonight and there was no poo but he ddnt sleep well cos he wasnt getting filled. after i gave him his milk he pooed after taking like 30mls and he continued with it till he finished it.his nanny said he wants to get light so he can lift himself. I know its an old wives tale.

Whn it happened to my lo I read online that you give at least 10mls of water before every feed. well did it work? I cant say but I make sure my lo takes 30mls of warm water first thing in d morning. during the course of the day its water, water, water! especially whn he is playing rough. I gv water to calm him down but I discovered it reactivates his energy. so my sister the secret behind it is water!

Tombrown does not require sieving. U just need to grind very well, more Dan 5x till its really smooth.

Thanks ma'am. I will try it. he ddnt poop during his meal this morning. will still try without milk regardless. I am grateful

@hajarahbadmus, I wld say ur baby is fyn. keep him well hydrated and watch him. I don't think it ll b d milk since he didn't just change his milk. keep his surroundings clean too.

I heard mashed potatoes for babies is prepared with butter. does anyone know which butter is preferable for use?

MiracleMum:

I use president or oldenberg..any foreign butter sold in the supermarkets is fine. Someone also taught me her method. Get carrots, sweet pea, fish (titus) and potatoes. Boil the carrots, peas and potatoes together. boil fish seperate, de-bone and mash. once boiled, put the potato mixture into a blender, add the mashed fish, a little water and blend. It produces a smooth nutrious pudding.
Keep in freezer. when you want to warm, dethraw the food, either use microwave or put a little president butter on the frying pan and add the food for warming. Tastes delicious.

I also followed the advice here, bought basmati rice, boiled it, grinded it into rice pudding.
Then I served it with either milk or my special stew sauce.
Stew sauce: buy tomatoes, onions, pepper (shonbo-non peppery), beef, chicken and fish.
Boiled all the meat and fish. debone and mash fish, meat. For the meat, I used my salad grater to grate the beef and chicken. Blend the tomatoes ingredients. Put on fire to boil with a little oil. when cooked, add the mashed meat/fish, including little salt to taste and mix. Voila -tomatoes sauce with mashed mixed meat.

Its not been easy trying all the recipes I get here becos I work all week, take her with me for office creche and can't stop at the market on the way home but I now a system of cooking her meals on Saturday for the week, freezing it and bring it out when I need it. Thank GOD for improved light situation.

You too bring out ur breast on time naa, you don't know men like breast ni pls don't mind me oo

But you just need to pay more attention to him really, since he is healthy and sleeping well. Babies also have different temperaments.
