Dear Mothers, I Need Your Help by toykathy(f): 2:26pm On Aug 17, 2014
Hello wonderful moms, happy sunday to y'all. Pls I need help with my baby's eating habit. He is 9months old and he doesnt eat. I have tried almost all d baby foods that i knw and ws introduced to but still is either one makes him stool or he doesnt want another. At nine months, I believe his eating habit should be getting better but i cant say its getting worse. Mothers pls can u advise me on how to feed him or any other baby food that is ideal for him? God bless you all.

Is he still bossom-feeding? If yes, then until you wean him, he may not like to take any other thing even though the breast milk can not fill him any longer.

Instead of baby foods, try giving him the meals you eat. Rice, yam, eggs, beans, pap, etc. Start with small quantities and don't make it seem like a chore, I mean don't give him forcefully. Make it fun. You may tell him to feed you, and you too will say you'll feed him, you know something like that.

Kids can make a lot of fuss when it comes to feeding, especially toddlers. But there is no problem if the child is not losing weight or looking emaciated. To ensure this, let him take plenty of fluid.

Don't worry, he'll be fine.

u can giv him pap(millet +guinea corn) mixed with milk(i used NAN 2 for my 2kids) then add soyabeans
Re: Dear Mothers, I Need Your Help by Lizboh(f): 9:56pm On Aug 17, 2014
Most babies in dt range don't usually like food, but just have to try, try to introduce Titus fish well cooked and spiced without pepper, u Will just give him as if u ar giving him biscuit, if he can finish a whole one then dt shld be okay, dn give him enough water, some babies don't really baby food, sometimes u can make mashed potato for him. U shld try to always give him fruits also.

Re: Dear Mothers, I Need Your Help by toykathy(f): 1:28am On Aug 18, 2014
Oh! Thz alot ma, i have never tot of dat. Is it sweet or irish potato?
Re: Dear Mothers, I Need Your Help by Nobody: 9:13am On Aug 18, 2014
Just go to all these sellers of maize, millet and rice. Ask them you are looking for millet and Ogi-baba as Yoruba call it. Sieve it to remove sand, the soak them. On the third day take it for grinding and wash it. Allow it to drain then sieve off the water and bag it to further remove the water. You will have your pap. You can only do this easily if you live in Nigeria.

Alternatively, buy from the pap sellers the already washed one. In this case, the hygiene isn't guaranteed. Remember to add milk to the pap, you can also add soyabeans.

Try the mashed tomatoes (Irish preferably), give the baby lots of juice more of home made like watermelon, oranges. Keep trying stuff for him and you might be might be lucky he will collect one out of the lots.

Re: Dear Mothers, I Need Your Help by FINA4804(f): 10:20pm On Aug 18, 2014
try pap some babies like it with guinea corn, millet and soyabeans all grinded together, so if you try the single he rejects then try the mixed. Then watch him if he likes very soft foods you can give him puddings, yogurts, then try other softer cereals make it lighter maybe its the texture he does not like. I have a shop for baby foods so I am used to these complains and with my children I have learnt a lot
