My dear you ned to explain well so proper advice can be given to you. BM does not cause diarrhea cept you express and the feeding bottle is not well sterilized same as bottle for the watter. How old is your baby? It is not wise to introduce adult food till baby is 1yr( that's for me sha) cos we have a lot of orishirishi in our food. You can prepare his own naturl foods. If you want to start with cereal go rof rice cereal its easier to digst. Please don't force your baby to eat when he is not hungry or to drink water when he is not thirsty. Are you a first time mum? Well done, nuturing babies is no joke you need to be smart and vigilant all the time.

Olaiswealth: Please mothers I need your help as regards my baby's skin!I noticed she had some red rash on her face when she was 1 month and 2 weeks,took her to the hospital and the pediatrician gave hydrocortisone cream which bleached her face...I have used all sort of things which includes Agbo,e-45,aveeno,cussons,dove,chicco baby,skinneal,acneaway,tiocosid,oilatum,cod oil,kernel oil,coconut oil,shea butter,to mention a few.

She's 8 months old and still hasnt improved and it itches her real bad,she doesn't sleep well at night.
Each time I use skinneal mixes with skinneal,it works but when I stop after the prescribed dosage it comes back awful.I don't want to use it for long cos it's steroidal.

Please I need help as the infection has scrapped all her hair and she was so hairy when I had her.

Thanks and awaiting your responses


Dear,

I dont usually reply post but i have to reply yours because i had the same experience with my baby from birth till she was about seven months before i found a permanent cure after trying all options.

Please note that your baby might have a sensitive skin and I will advise you try Sebamed baby cream( there are different types, any one of them will do), Sebamed baby soap or baby body wash and Sebamed baby powder. Ensure you get them in a good supermarket. They are a bit expensive, Between 2300naira to 1200 naira.

Try it and come back with the good news, it was introduced to me by my colleague in the office and infact i book for them ahead at the supermarket.

You can continue using them because its verrrrrrrry good for baby's skin. Also check for the baby oil for the hair..... It will dry all i assure.

How old is your baby? I believe You should have mastered his fceeding habit. Don't you know the way he acts when he is hungry? Or wants to sleep? Time his feeding. When he cries find out if he wants to sleep or eat. Truthfully babies generally don't act same. I still ask. Are you a first time mum?

Its best to start with rice cereal. Its mild anmd very easy for babys to tolerate. I don't know lacktogen milk. I use sma progress from 6months. Feed him thre to four times daily. The quantity to be given is written on the can.

MojAyo: And is lactogen milk and cerelac food good for babies at six month
I started giving my baby cerelac @ 6 months and I started with rice based( check pix). I don't know what lactogen milk is!


As for measurement, I discovered that children are different and some are heavy eaters while others eat less. I started with 3 spoon full for my baby but sometimes that same 3 spoon full was too much and I ended up drinking the left over and there was a day I made her cerelac twice coz after she finished the first one she was crying for more and I had to make another one which she finished instantly.

If you check the body of the tin, you will see a preparation guide, maybe that might help.

Pls ensure you give baby water after each feed

Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by lovinam: 10:56pm On Jul 31, 2014
Rule no 1 in taking care of newborn is that u have to be calm at all times. Don't let anything overwhelm you. You also need to be vigilant. I believe if you had been monitoring your baby, you should know how he acts when hungry. Don't send yourself into a panic mode for nothing.

Every baby food/ milk comes with instructions. Don't listen to what the shop attendants are telling you. Read what is written on the "body"/ tin of the food. There is an instruction on the nos of spoons, quantity of water / milk to use. If you are giving milk the instruction is also on the can. When it comes to water, you need to give as u feed him cereal to avoid constipation. Avoid maize cerelac for now till baby gets to one year. Ensure you Get the rice next week

All the best!

Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by lovinam: 5:10am On Aug 01, 2014
It depends on how your baby eats. If the instruction is 1 spoon to 5 spoons of water. It means you multiply by 5 the number of spoons of food eg 5 spoons of water x 3spoons of food. That's 15 spoons of water. Tho you need to use ur instinct too. Don't make it too hard or too soft. Just give it the pap consistency. Don't forget to give baby water during each feed wheat is ok but rice is better

I guess the preparation guide in your's is different from mine. But since they wrote 1 spoon full of cerelac to 4-5 spoon of water then 2 spoon full of cerelac is equal to 8-10 spoon of water but since you are adding milk, you have to add some more water to mix the milk thoroughly.

The food should not be too light neither should it be too thick(check the picture of the plate on the tin of cerelac I posted above)

There is no fixed number of time that you can feed baby, you can give cerelac all through the day or even only at night-the choice is yours. I for example this morning, I have fed my baby cerelac once and I have breastfed twice, the next time my baby is hungry again I will feed with cerelac. There are some days I feed her with cerelac all through- there is no fixed time table for that.

I don't know about wheat for 6 months,I used rice and milk when my baby was 6 months and I only used wheat when my baby was 7 months (pix below)

You are welcome

I don't know if mine is the right way but what I do is I put cerelac in baby's feeder then pour little cold(ordinary) water then I add hot water from the flask which when mixed with the cold water(already in the feeder) makes it warm water. Hope you understand what am trying to explain?

Then I shake and keep shaking till it is without seed

I sometimes make mistake and the seed clog the feeder tip but in all practice make perfect


Sometimes I find out that I poured too much water(I add more cerelac) while sometimes I find out that the food is too thick(I add more water)sometimes I get it just right wink

Who said its easy been a mom
