i am totally with you on this ''exclusive breastfeeding without water'' issue. i am an 100% advocate of combination feeding - breastmilk, formula and water.

the ones that amuses me are those that will be screaming ''exclusive'', ''exclusive'' and then you catch them feeding their 3 months old baby ''ogi'' Hian !!


meanwhile on this colic issue. i have a friend that mixes gripe water with her baby's milk and that is the only thing that has worked for her and eased her son's discomfort from colic. personally, i swear by infacol - it worked like a charm for me. i guess to each their own.

ABEG MAMAS SUGGESTIONS ON BABY FOOD THAT CAN MAKE A BABY CHUBBY.

sassyangel1:


I'm telling u... Some of our nurses will b scamming us esp ftm since 19okolo... I see whei during my first child's birth. I no go try d exclusive n water only again. This time I must combine formula. Come n see as I leghan (too lepa) cos of breast. My daughter can suck 4 Africa ehnnnn. B4 I Comot breast 4 her mouth say mk I jst branch toilet come n see cry. Naso mil go scream Oya oooooo!!!! Come n give my grand daughter breast. Any small tin, breast. She sneezes, grandma go shout Oya oooo , where r u? U too dey waste time, infant no dey wear bra again cos my grand baby must suck on d go and my daughter sooo hated feeding bottles. This forum is a very nice, funny n educative classroom.

Liftedhands:
you can come take some from Ekene! I yaff taya to carry his 9kg ass at just 7 months old
I hear aptamil is good cos of its sweetness and babies will crave to eat more and thus gain weight!

Chubby babies sleep better and make less fuss, their fluffy cheeks and sturdy legs are so adorable for kisses

You buy clothes all the time cos they quickly outgrow the ones they have

i want to believe that its only in nigeria that nurses, et al carry this 'exclusive' matter on their head and will at any opportunity 'bully' mothers into it.

i cannot remember at any time having any health professional moan to be about what i do with my breast and how i feed my baby.

my son was on strictly breastmilk, formula and water for the first 6 months. as long as he is hitting/exceeding his milestones and growing in accordance with the growrth chart/percentile for his age - daz all - the health professionals were happy.

when i had the 6 months check with my HV and she asked about his feeding, i told her he was on breastmilk, formula and water. she was pleasantly surprised that he was still being breastfed and she really praised me. she told me that most mothers give up at 4 months and introduce solids.

breastfeeding is a lottttttttttttttttt of work - whether full time or part time.

morenitemi:
Thanks mumsgirl27, I now guess it's teething as you said, he had his first set of teeth last month and the upper sets are on the way now I just succeeded in feeding him with carrot puree mixed with plain yoghurt and I just got custard and oats I pray he will accept that. Thanks for your advise.

helovesme:


funny, i have tasted both breastmilk and aptamil - breastmilk is sweeter

i dont like to use the word ''chubby''. i prefer ''well fed''.

well fed babies even look better in clothes. the other day i dressed my son in trousers, shirt, suspenders with leather loafers. see compliments. he looked so good that i was so proud and i literally forgot my CS scar.

firsttymum, biko listen to your hubby and boost your son's meals.
