itsmelex: @Debbi, U can start with pap first, thier tender stomach tolerates that. If you decide to introduce tin food, start with a light cereal like rice, leav wheat till she is much older(this is from my own experience oh, she may tolerat it).

Cant remember all now but U could try these:
-peeled apple boiled and mashed
-irish or sweet potatoes, boiled and mashed ( I add crayfish, titus and tiny magerine or olive oil while cooking and blend all together)
-blended oats(to smooth whil dry), cook and add milk
-well cooked and mashed peeled beans(I introduced this at about 9mnths and very minut quantity..not much at all)
-egg yoke (somtimes I add this to well cooked/mashed white rice)
-yougut

These are the ones I can remember now. I'l sugest you try the pap for 2-3wks first befor gradualy introducing any other thing U feel lik. I started my baby on solid at exactly 6mnths! pap is mild, you can make it very light...dnt forget U introduc a food at a time and wait for like 4days before introducing another(I waited upto a week to intro new food cause my boy is very sensitive...but now two days max)

In all sis, do what you'r comfortable with and if you'r very confused visit the ped. Heard every mum has great instinct, don't ignor yours now!

All the best

Nice tips...also like the idea of watching your Baby's reaction to the solid meal for 4 to 7 daz. Pap from millet constipates my 8months baby. Didn't start her on solids till Her 5th month cause breast milk couldn't satisfy her. Sharing this with Madam ASAP.... cheesy

So sorry oh. Have you tried oranges/multivitamins to boost her appetit? Oranges work well for me. U can try the egg yoke ( just put litle in her mouth to lick ) I gues it can make her thirsty and dont forget she's a baby and may not drink as much as we expect as the quantity may look too small for us. does she urinate well?

Strickly my opinion oh! all d best

lol@the sugar part
Bro Ayo I know how you feel but truth be told, 98% of the work should come from her. She has to see reasons to work on herself and be determined to! I gave birth thru CS and I'm still breastfeeding but I which I can stop TODAY!lol. Why? I need to focus on my diet abeg!

I have always been feeling unhappy about my tummy and added weight, my cute and expensive ahirts can't button at the tummy side. annoying! What got me to my 'senses' was a pics we (my family) took in church two weeks ago with a celebrating family friend. I said NO oh! this is not me!lol. I came up wit a diet fast fast oh and hide somtims to follow it strickly cause hubby will say am breastfeeding.lol. After putting baby to bed, I do a min of 15min exercise befor bathing to sleep. will post the time table I compiled when am very free

bottom line, She has to wiiling and determined then apply decipline.

what does she eat? as in what foods do u give her? does she accept it? have u tried homemade meals? does she eat cereal?isit that she doesnt eat what u offer at all or she takes a little? u need to give more info so mothers on this thread can help u. what i ll sugest first is to give bcomplex syrup only no multivita or vitamin c. it helps boost appetite in babies. when she's hungry, dont give her the breast; offer food in a little quantity.

@Ayobarmy. ur wife may not see herself the way u see her. so she may not be bothered abt the tummy. until she sees herself the way itmelex did.
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by itsmelex(f): 9:43pm On Jul 24, 2013
cry I feel Ur concern. Dont knw what else oh. Hopfully other mum could help out. If you can force a litle on her tongue Icwas hoping it will creat quest for water...that was how I started initially. stay strong, you'l pull throught and praying she comes around and increas apetit.

Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by omogemi: 7:19am On Jul 25, 2013
just normal b complex syrup. U can get it @ d pharmacy. I ll suggest u give her 5ml 2ce a day. What u ll do is dis. When u wake up in d morning, breastfeed her. Let her have her fill. When she burps or after abt 10mins, give d b complex. Then go bath her. Dont offer breast again. Instead, go prepare her food. If she wants to sleep aftr d bath let her. But if she dsnt sleep, let her play. When she crys out for d breast again offer her d pap. She may not lyk d position u place her. Try another method. Let her sit in a chair. Or place her on ur lap sitting n sing rhyms for her or any song she likes . Offer her d food and see if she takes. If she dsnt take d pap leave her just dnt offer breast at dt moment. And if she takes a spoon or two, fyn, let her sleep with that. When she wakes u ll offer food again.

To me I think there is nothing wrong with it as long as ur baby is healthy.my little boy started growing teeth at almost a year old! They said baby girls develop faster than boys but not in all cases, and hasn't been proven I guess,Don't worry ur baby will surely eat his birthday cake and chicken.........

Good!! Talking about baby eating time. I also observ (for me) that position, spoon shape, plate or feeding bottle, rhymes... can encourage or discourage babies. Somtimes my son will refuse spoon and take bottle at other times reverse will be the case for the same food oh! when he was 8mnths I must sing befor that food will finish, now no need for that. hmmmm! I even changed this song
...mummy oh oh oh, wa pke laye.... to
...mummy oh oh oh, your food is so sweet, daddy oh oh oh, I love it so much....hahahaha, funny now.lol

It is well.
