Madam abeg, take it easy o. this is the second time I will see you do this on this thread and its not healthy at all. You are not the custodian of all knowledge
Firstly, it was the issue of cough and cold syrup. Pediatricians says that it's not appropriate for children under 6years, you are saying it is. And I believe you are not a doctor, I agree that these drugs are sold over the counter but pediatricians are warning we mothers to stop using them and you were taking the issue personal like you know more than they do.
About the formula ,I have it on my brand of formula not to reduce the scoop or increase it as it can cause illness, I use to use isomil, I am sure it's written on nan too. Not everyone uses Aptamil and not everyone can use aptamil.
You may tag other formulas cheap but we are using them for our little ones proudly.
So madam, be considerate when you are making comments and read widely too. Thanks.

Not trying to support anyone here but Helovesme lives in the UK where guidance widely varies from Nigeria and has been clear and even posted links to back up her evidence. Cough syrup for kids in the UK is just glycerol and sugar and does not cure but rather relieves the cough frequency.

For the menB vaccine, here is a link to the manufacturer's leaflet which states drugs can be used to reduce the side effects such as fever. http://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/PIL.28408.latest.pdf

This drama just made my morning I swear!!! I was coming to rant before sef: some people can like to annoy someone, that was how the woman I buy things from was asking me if my 8 months old son has started walking. I said "no", she and her husband was now saying " he ought to has started now, our daughter walked at 7 months". I just gave them the "'shoro niyen' look, collected my spray starch and zoomed off. If I say make I talk ehn, I go just misyarn!!! People can like to annoy someone joor #rantsover.
BTW, that chair thing sweet die!!! *runsoutofthread*

Having a good laugh here Their daughter walked at 7 months. She must be "special"
If na me be you, i wont buy something there again because they'll keep monitoring and comparing both babies and its unhealthy.
Hope you didnt take it out on your son because my 11 months old is yet to walk on her own, she's still holding things to walk. So chill, all babies are different and very unique.

Hey Mama. Had asked after you in the pregnancy thread much earlier after I observed you'd been away for so long. How are you and your LOs doing? Good to have you back.

About the combination of breastfeeding and formula without water, it also works for my 2 months+2wks old twins. They don't take water and are not constipated. I actually attempted to give them on 2 occasions. The girl rejected it and threw up the little that managed to pass through her throat while she was crying. The boy took but I didn't give after those 2 attempts and observed it didn't affect them negatively.

Like you said observation is the key. I could never have tried excluding water with my 3 older kids back then. Recipe for constipation big time! Depends on what works for each baby.

Mum twins how now?? I feel so ashamed, lemme go buy 6 yards ankara to cover my face. I actually started my BS specifically cos u asked for it...it's still in my draft unfinished...so sorry...thank God for safe delivery...

Am doing ebf for my twins and so far it's working...but lemme confess my ebf is for selfish reasons. I went from size UK6 to UK10, my best bet ryt now is breast feeding as I don't have time for gym right now n it's working. They ve not had water for 4.5 months and there's been no constipation for a day- all thanks to God. My sis twins were more formula fed and didn't have water for 6 months- no constipation. If formula is properly prepared the right way, there's no need for extra water except the climate u live in is very hot.

U are a strong super hot mama o...5 kids at a time?? How do u do it?? It's been very easy not to say otherwise cos I have no help- my mums are old in their late 70s and 80s- so it's just hubby n moi. God has been very faithful. Will try to come in more often.

Kisses to the twins...cheers

What kind of things? You mean meeting milestones as fast as his sister? I hear girls are faster.
Cc: Goldmine, sayoberry, doubledouble

My girl is faster than her brother...sitting unsupported now whilst the bro is even jus managing to sit with support. I don't advice comparing kids...as long as he is milestones that is what counts. He doesn't have to be as fast as anyone, let him do things at his own pace. Cheers

Sometime during immunization last year, some pediatricians/ doctors came and gave a talk about giving paracetamol to babies before immunization. They said it's not right and it interferes with the injections.
Have anyone else heard this?

Yes that to an extent is true as the jury is still out on it. The bliv is it's better to give when and if needed and not as a precautionary measure. The pharmacists believe it reduces the strength of the drug. I am with them on this and refused it for my kids. My girl developed a bit of high body temp after their 14 weeks vaccines but it went down after a couple of hours. Was able to manage it without any drugs- thanks be to God.

Hello sis, it's been a while & my memory is a bit fuzzy but i can't remember having constipation problem cos the golden morn wasn't the only meal, it was just the primary cos at that stage, they are still a handful & feeding them nor dey easy....... but i know :

..i didn't use much milk,

...We did amala & ewedu + crayfish & fish,

....We did soft boiled eggs, rice, almost any kind of food..

Squeezed oranges & lots & lots of water also ribena as well...

I learnt from my baby friendly class that little ones' palates are adaptive & we should from 6 months begin to feed our babies bits & pieces of anything we eat as staple to get them acquainted. ....

Baby K clocked 6mths last sunday & I've tried to introduce Amala to him 2ce now but na squeezey squeezey face tinz, e nor get choice, e must wack am, na patience...

BTW... Ogi is fantastic but a lazy die..

My sister dont mind dem ooo, the "special" child is a teenager now oo. I no even look their side as long as my bobo is hitting all his milestones perfectly. You know when people say all those things, I just laugh cos I know every child is unique in their own way..

Why not allow another person to feed her. You know she can still percieve bm fromm you anytime you bring her close.

My sis, tenkyiu for checking up on me. we are good, how are you guys? How's your LO? Other senior mamas, I dey hail una o.

(I saw small wahala stroll here a while back and said to myself "abeg "

Baby E is teething so we are being nice to her and she is taking advantage of it. She now sleeps on our bed, her father sleeps across the edge of the bed and I sleep on the floor because we don't want to chop slaps and kicks with her rolling and she hates being disturbed. According to one of my sisters "you guys are finished, she has trained you people. She will drive your car on her 1st birthday and you'll be too scared to say 'pim"

Her hair is too much, but it's not hard to come dou

My sister, as we speak, big years are rolling down my cheeks, I'm in pains. I'm watching Cbeebies with no option of changing it, unless it's to SuperSport and Football (she likes the teams' bright jersey colours and the green of the pitch). I dare not complain...
