Since d other twin likes feeder,express&giv him.My baby prefered feeder wen sh was young so &giv.NAN causes constipation.That I experienced but its betta ur baby constipates than purge.Do d normal scoopin.Not a full spoon but a leveled spoon.Mayb we were ova addin d milk or doin somthng wrong but my baby can stay 5days without pooin.Another good milk is SMA gold(made my baby purge&sh rejected it but took NAN til sh got 2a year then I switched 2peak 123&Complan) but there lots of imitations in d markt cos I don't knw if I bought d imitation.Another good one dat my anty used is Isomil (it contains soya (my baby didn't really lik it).Aptamil is so so so good&wil mak ur baby brainy&plumpy but its damn 2expensive.Its abt 4,500 cos its frm UK&u hav twins.If u hav somone in UK,d persn can send it 2u.It shld b cheaper there.I'l find out frm my frnds there.U hav twins so don't go 4thngs dat drag ur husbnd dwn cos pampers alone can b exhorbitant.Another good one is Emfamil&similac.Also frm UK.They mak kids super smart.

I might try this...my baby hates to drink plain milk. But i noticed that you did not use it,is there a particular reason considering that you say you did not use it.

My sister.D 1st few wks,I used NAN&it constipated baby so I saw my frnd usin Aptamil&decided 2get it since sh rejected SMA gold (whch made her stool though-don't knw if I got d imitation).My sister! My baby so loved it dat a tin (u knw its big) finished in a wk+ cos sh prefered it 2d bosom&me 2lazy 2express cos sh refused 2suck directly breast til sh was abt 6wks.My dear,my husbnd bought it 2xs&started naggin plus my inlaws dat was makin side comments on y he shld spend dat much on milk (cos they saw d price tag on d container) lik its their damn biz.So I told him not 2buy again.I bought once wit my money&al hell went loose (he took it as a spite).He said i shld force her 2breastfeed.So I continued wit my NAN 1 joor til I forced her 2b suckin frm d breast.My frn dat used dat Aptamil;if u c d child,sh's super super smart.U won't believ sh's just a year +.I can't start mentionin wot I observed joor.Me I carry honey dey support my own

Wendy, babies reactions to food/milk are very different. Even if most ppl accept a brand, there may be at least a baby that may reject and react to it.
At 6mnths I startd my baby on sma, he didnt like it. I stopd and tried afain at 8mnths and no sucex. I even tried one lactogen my mum said she used in those days, no sucex but with NAN2, from 9mnths+, I can breastfeed once or twice a day...he so love it, no constipation or what have you. That's for me and you and may not be for another.

Hi everyone. I'm so sorry for asking all sort of question. I'm a first mum and really do not know much about motherhood. My baby is having a serious tummy problem. He doesn't sleep well at nyt although he doesn't cry but he makes this sound that is uncomfortable. I went to see his doctor and prescribed NOCOLIC BB but its not really working. I've used gripe water, bt yet nothing and I've also used bitter kola. Don't know what to do. Its really heart breaking seeing your baby in pain and can't help. They said it will pass away when he will be 3 months and my baby was 1 month 2 days ago. I feel helpless and terrible. Can anyone help me out? PLEASE.

Oh! Sorry dear but I don't knw if there's a remedy 4colic pain.My baby had hers til 4mths.It was so frustratin esp at nyt.I used Colipan&infacol whch givs a little relief but doesn't hav long lastin effect.At a tender age,I'd lie her on ly lap facin down&dat position made her sleep.I gav gripe water but it didn't do much so I just waited it out.Kept usin d Colipan though.Used paracetamol drop too cos it made her cry a lot so I didn't knw if it gav her headache or so.Paed said it'l b ther til 3mths that I shld lie her on her tommy most tyms.Goodluck

D baby is not 2smal anythng.I hope u don't hav massiv boobs so dat it doesn't suffocate d baby cos my frnd slept off&didn't knw her big boobs had closed d baby's nose.If not dat her husbnd woke up 2com&check up on them,we wonder wot wud hav happened.Another thng my collegue experienced whil lyin dwn 2bf is d fact dat som of d bm went 2d ear or so cos d baby started bringin out fluid frm d ear&d ENT dr said it was due 2d lyin dwn position&d posibility of chokin is another thng.Me I didn't practice but while I was in d hospital afta birth,I saw d nurses teachin som women wit newborn babies how 2lay dwn&breastfeed.I didn't practice it til sh was abt 6mths cos my husbnd was sceptical abt d process.I express,keep in d fridge so dat wen I'm sleepin,anybody can feed her&i was sure of d quantity sh was takin.If sh finishes lik 150mls,sh'l sleep 4long so me I'l sleep too.

Hello mothers,

Pls I have 2 questions 1. How true is it that babies shld not be given milk that as been opened 4 over a month. My baby is 1 year old and I give him peak 123, I only put milk on his golden morn and pap, so the milk as refuse 2 finish on time. And can I just prepare d milk only 4 him 2 drink?

2. His immunization vaccine for 12mnths-15mnths is MMR and chicken pox. The hospital I use said the chicken pox is not available, they later called me the one they could order is N7500. And it seems expensive + the MMR which is N5500 How true is it that chicken pox vaccine is 7500 for mothers that took it 4 their kids. Can I try somewhere else? Or is it kind of scarce at the moment.

Thanks in advance

@Jade Williams. Pls advice me on what to do. My baby is 7kg n 10mths old. I feel d weight is rather too small for her age. But she's on d tall syd. She takes frisogold milk with pap n lyks beans a lot. I also give her wellkid multivitamin. She hates egg, but i try to force her 2 have egg yolk. How do i make her add weight? Is dt milk okay?
Also, my husbnd says its not good givin soya to her (i mix with pap). I m quite confused @ ds point. Pls advice. Thanks

I started lying down to breastfeed my 2nd baby from when he was 1 week. I didn't know there was a syle to it so he had an ear infection. When the paediatrician treated him, she showed me how to do it perfectly. Since then till he stopped breastfeeding, it was just the most comfortable way. There are youtube videos and stuff on the internet to show u.

You don't just leave him to lie down, you must elevate his head with your arm or a pillow.
