Beryl, thank you so much. I'll do like you have said. Poured the warm water, no result yet...lol

Nita2013:
Pls get gerber prune. It's about 450 for 2 in a pack. Give him half of it and he ll poop after a while. I m sure d 1st poop is hard thereby blockin d not so hard ones.

It's because u just introduced cereal. Like Beryl stated pls make sure d cereal is a bit watery since u just started it. After a while u gradually thicken it. Also don't load it in his tummy. I started with 2 level tablespoons.

Pls don't give wheat cereal yet until 6months. U can try oat instead.

Thanks a lot Nita. I will look for it today

Kimoni:


Pls don't make them swallow it even though children's toothpaste contains less fluoride. I put a bean size on the brush and clean their teeth, then encourage them to spill it out.

It's not easy potty training a child when one is not with them all day. But getting a very colorful potty for my LOs sort of motivated them to use the potty.

frantoy:

Please, please, please and please, if you make your tombrown yourself, can you give a detailed description of how you make it? I bought groundnut, soybeans and crayfish only to discover there is another type that requires millet and Co. Please help out, thanks.

Kimoni:


I start when they go on solids. Before them, the mouth is self cleaning.

Pls what do u mean by self cleaning in this context?

franky2013:
is this what is called tombrown? someone did it for me, have nt been able to give it to my LO, it wasnt well sieved, i will have to sieve it to get a smooth texture, then i ll b good to go

shndy:

Oh u make da little everytime, I get it now. By cooking, I mean the way pap is cooked, cos you didn't mention anything about cooking

Kimoni:


That the bacteria in the mouth are not harmful when there are no teeth yet or before they start solids.

Babycenter advises that you start cleaning just before the teeth sprouts. Some people then use glycerine at this stage instead of toothpaste.

tchiwinnie:
Tombrown does not require sieving. U just need to grind very well, more Dan 5x till its really smooth.

It won't get spoilt. just put it in an airtight container. Prepare it like u do quakeroat, ie dissolve well in water and bring to boil while stirring continuously.

BryDario:
