To wean a child from breast milk is best done in stages.

You should introduce the adult food/flavours in stages and in small bits.

Many mums start off with cereals- pap, cerelac, gerber brand of cereals, custard etc etc.

You can also try some noodles cooked to a pulp,boiled fish, amala and ewedu, potatoes- sweet and irish variety etc etc but it must be very very soft!

Don't have high expectations at first.

Then ensure he's hungry so that he may accept a few spoons.

Mama hw old is ur baby? How do u my his Moimoi. Tx

over 7months

essentially its same way u do moimoi for adult o. peel n wash d beans, blend it with onions n pepper if u want (tatase or bawa pls not chilli/rodo). you can add skimmed egg yolk and/or blended crayfish (I don't usually do since he takes these in other foods but I'm sure it will make the moimoi richer) add ur vegetable or palm oil. then put it in d leaves for moimoi (I use leaves. u can also use tin or nylon so far they are clean). n cook in a pot with little water for about forty mins. I don't add salt or any seasoning

I usually blend his beans separately from that of everyone else but cook it in same pot as that of the entire family but I mark his so I can recognise it. that way I don't av to cook his separately. I keep d moimoi in freezer n cut out in small bits when needed


hope the info answers ur question

Hello Everyone, been a while. Someone told me a story yesterday, its from a song in his native dialect & felt compelled to share...

[b]Two childless women went to an herbalist to seek for babies, he told them he could help, they'd have the babies but run mad thereafter.

One of the women agreed while the other bluntly refused.

Fast forward a year after, the child free woman still went back but the herbalist said the condition hasn't changed, while the other that had become a mother went as well & said "Baba I thought you said I'd run Mad as soon as I have this baby?, but look at me very sane.

The herbalist laughed & put forth the following questions forth;

1.Do you talk to this baby who does not understand a word of what you say?

2. Do you dance withhout hearing music when this baby is crying?

3. Do you love this baby more than everything in this world including your own self..

The woman looked at the man strangely & said yes of course, It is my own baby!!!

The herbalist said "That is the madness cos without this baby in your hand, All the actions will be considered ABNORMAL. You are madly in love..[/b]

I AM MADLY IN LOVE WITH MY LBK...

God bless & keep our LOs..

Mo,pls can you giv me the link to that pregnant thread?

You are a mum true true, thinking of how many ways things could go wrong..

Follow @Nita2013' s advise minus Indomie, I'd prefer very very soft boiled spaghetti.

Noodles are not healthy,even for adults.

You can also add rice, well cooked beans & don't forget fish as well...

Good morning great mothers....pls when can i stop bathing my baby with warm water and start using room temperature water? Thank y'all

Babe, no judgement, not at all...

Still fighting a major battle weaning my big kids off noodles as it is & i ain't winning yet...

The problem with noodles isn't the monosodium glutamate in the seasoning only, the binding agent that gives it that shape & the preservatives no be play play as well.

If you parboil a bit & strain the water before adding the other stuff, it is not so bad.....

We are all learning on the job, it is well.

If no malaria parasite or infection was found , just carry your precious & ruuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

Nothing like prophylactic care, no bueno...

If she runs from hospital ma, where else should she go to? Herbalist?
@Mytestimony get another opinion from a different and good hospital - make sure its a pediatrician you are seeing. Consistent high temp in a baby is a sign of something wrong.

She will go to baba egbeji nah..


On a more serious note, if test is done & no malaria or infection is found, would you advise anti malaria & antibiotic,, of course she should ruuuuunnnnnn away to another hospital with competent paed.

it is likely flu or major teething induced fever.....

I am no doctor, but i have senior pediatric consultants on speed dial...

The truth is dat just 1 negative mp does not rule out malaria. Ideally, u shld test for malaria up to 3x, wt each abt 8hrs apart. So its actually possible to have negative mp but still have malaria.
That said, how old is ur baby? If u re not comfortable wt wot ur Dr prescribed, u can go to anoda hospital. Since fbc was normal, u may not need d antibiotics. how s s stooling now? Were u given oral zinc and ors?

It's entirely up to you and of course dependent on the weather at the time of bathing!

You feel the water on your own body/skin first and can intuitively tell if it won't cause the child to catch a cold.....
