To make you ogi nutritious, add a lot of milk + fruits and veg

You can have the following combos:

1. Ogi + banana + milk
2. Ogi + peanut butter + milk
3. Ogi + potato&chicken puree ( I cook sweet or irish potatoes + chicken breast + carrot and blend all together)
4. Ogi + pureed strawberry or apple or blueberry + milk
5. Ogi + pureed carrots + milk
6. Ogi + oats + milk
7. Ogi + Fish&carrot puree + milk (boil mackerel fish + carrot and blend together)

Hey babes, congrats to the twins!

Hotmomma how are you doing dear?

I'd try and answer as much as I can

I prep my foods for the week and store in the freezer. (Pix attached) If you have good power supply you can do same..Then just put the frozen foods in a plate and cover it to take to creche..It should have melted and ready for consumption by the time he needs to eat it. They can just mix in the milk and feed.

I started feeding my LO from 6months. Initially I was making it the way Feddy described (as a porridge) but I switched to making it into swallow and feeding him with soup.
The Gerber oatmeal is a cereal that you just mix with milk. Don't limit him to just cereals, give him more of homemade nutritious foods.

No don't start with the combos. You need to gradually introduce each food to him to watch for allergy. E.g you give pureed potatoes mixed milk then you repeat again cos he might not accept the foods outrightly as he is only used to breastmilk. Then when he accepts and there's no allergic reaction, you add carrots or egg yolk. Then eventually increase the combo.

Hope you are already putting soup in his mouth with your fingers while you eat, it helps prepare thier taste buds I think. He was already struggling with me for my foods cos I make sure I carried him while eating swallow, I guess that's why it's his favorite meal.

A favorite and easy first meal is Amala and okro soup/ewedu with plenty crayfish. Cos he only knows how to suck now so swallowing​ Amala and a slimy soup might be easier than cereal.


For the milk, as long as he doesn't react to it I guess it's fine. And Feddy says it's good.

Liftedhands:
My son does this whenever he is sleepy but too uncomfortable or restless to sleep. Try whatever can pacify him and see if it stops, also check and see if there's any rash or boil there it could be he is itching somewhere,check his diaper also. However if all fails and he is still tugging at his hair please see you paediatrician. Kisses to baby ilan

AlphaHandMaiden:


I am not sure oh
you may want to take him to a paediatric E.N.T specialist it could be that his left ear is bothering him. has he had a cold recently? usually colds have a way of affecting ears as well.

Sorry dear! kisses to him.

This is a symptom of colic, my dd pulls at both sides, even sometimes scratches her face in the process especially when she is sleeping, they will eventually outgrow this stage. I am in the same dilemma with you.

Mummy sugar, I am eyeing this your freezer oooo. I'm just jealousing you jare.

But do you live in naija or redemption camp were they have constant power supply cos these cube foods are really rock solid. I think an alternative for mamas without constant power ss is to store each feed in cereal dispenser containers or any available small containers and freeze.

Also, I read that some fruits shouldn't be stored in the fridge not to talk of freezer. Will the nutrient content of some of these fruits still be preserved if freezed?

Redemption camp too dey naija na
There are some coded places in naija with constant power supply Im actually currently at work and staying in company accommodation so light na 24/7. But even my house get constant power with a combo of NEPA/Inverter​/generator
Good suggestion for storage without proper power supply.
I'm not quite aware of fruits that shouldn't be frozen, any examples of them?
It's definitely better to prepare each food fresh before feeding but not really practical for working moms. And I would not want my nanny spending too much time in the kitchen cooking my son a meal or even carrying him into the kitchen while cooking for fear of burns etc. But frozen is still better than the shop bought foods in bottles packed with preservatives.

chychy4us:
Weldon sabi mamas, thanks for all the great tips, I have been following this thread for weeks now.
My challenge is my dd who is 10weeks now is having colic, I have heard so many remedies from gripe water, nospamin, in fact, to natural remedies like uda, ogiri etc, but I am not good in experimenting cos I am on ebf, I just use nospamin and I massage with hot water, just counting to 12 weeks for the colic to vamoose.

Buy all the veggies (carrots, potatoes, peas). Boil and blend then store in your freezer. Buy quarker oats, blend for her. If you can't make pap, August secrets sells very good pap.

Akorkor:

I quoted this because i want to know how you do it after it is freeze. Do you re-cook it or microwave. Because i learnt microwave food is not good for less than 1 year.

feddy27:


I bring it out of the fridge and allow to melt then add it to the already made hot pap.

If I need to feed the potato+chicken puree alone, I put water in a pot and put the bowl inside to warm. When I take it out, I add my milk

sugah:
Akorkor thanks o, your breast pain might be mastitis.

Massaging with warm towel, offering that breast first and pumping all the milk out would help ease it. You are probably not emptying the breast out when you feed
