okirewaju: 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
grin

It's not advisable to feed cerelac or any type of cereal through the bottle / feeder because of choking

Pls read it up

A bowl and spoon as shown in the picture on the pack is better

MojAyo: okay,tanx for d advice,pls is it hot water u use to mix ur baby food or just warm,and re they bottle water,u knw why I'm asking,I boiled tap water inside d flask to mix my baby food dis morning,I put d hot water to mix with d cereal,there were still some big particles there,it wasn't smooth,which I tried to make it smooth,bt its nt,then when I give my baby,he was crying,after some time he vomited it,yesterday when I want to prepare his cereal,I use warm bottle water which does nt make him to vomit,I'm thinking something is nt right the way I make his food dis morning,pls help me out

Since the warm water dint make him vomit why not keep using it. It's all trial and error and no two babies are the same. Do whatever works for your child.

Relax, you are a good mom, perfection is not required. Hugs

My adorable prince is 2wks old, his birth weight is 2.8kg cos I delivered him @ 36wks through c section because of placenta previa issue. I think his weight is a little bit low compared 2 his elder brother nd sister who weigh 3.8kg nd 3.4kg. My friend told me about complan, but I think complan is meant for the elderly, athletes, pregnant and nursing mothers. Am feeding him with sma gold as of now, though he sleeps a lot but I always wake him up to eat. I want him to add sum weight. I don't know much about similac, pls friends help me out and suggest the best infant formular for my baby. I wouldn't mind the price plssssssssss!!!

@Zikamax, my daughter was also weighing 2.8kg at birth. I was worried too. but breastfeeding did the magic for me o. she is now very big and chubby. I cant even carry her for long without complaining. so my dear,if u can,breastfeed him and you will see the difference.

We call it ''nlacha'' in igbo. U shld avoid sugary food, drinks etc while breastfeeding. Nlacha and jadi jadi atimes comes 2gather. Sometimes ur baby's poop may turn greenish in colour, and he tends 2 cry after eating or sucking, d rashes is itching nd will make ur baby uncomfortable. Try dis foreign milk care below. It is a baby vitality moisture cream with vitamin c. Try it. Its very good

Simplesoul yea dats wat am talking about. It can also cause hair loss when it enters ur baby's hair. U can as well use saint leaf, sqeeze out d juice, give him some nd rub some on d affected part. Dis method is normally used when d ela hs gone into d stomach. It will clear off within 3 days.

Hello mums & dads in da house! Please, can one feed 9mths old LO blended Oats? What's your take on adding Glucose D to his meals too? He's my first child, so kinda new to baby care/meals. Thanks

About 'Ela', it's advisable not to rub raw Skinneal/baby tribotan on your baby directly because of their steroid ingredient (says my LO paed), instead, mix any with your baby cream (my boy uses Shea butter-ori). I used lamisil & local herbal soap for my boy when he had it, & it worked.

hey there. I am happy to be back again after a long break. My little one is almost two now. Want to thank all the sweet mum for their advice it realy helped me pass through those tiny little trouble they give. @ zikamax I think u should try Aptamil it is good for all category of children especially those that are sensitive to lactose. That's what my angel took and she is looking very healthy and hardly falls sick and also very intellegent. But breast milk is still the best.

MojAyo: And can giving baby breastmilk with a lot of water cause diarrhea
you don't need to give water when giving breast milk because it already contains the quantity of water the baby will be needing. If in doubt extract breastmilk into a glass and allow to stay for a long time u will see the water seperate from the milk. Then u will be able to know the quantity of water in breast milk. Giving water could lead to so meny kinds of sickness because of its source.
