Giddyperson:
Please is there any thing else apart from water that I can give baby daily to avoid constipation. I try to give her water but she just plays around with it and spits out most of it. Or Is there anything I can add to the water to give it a more encouraging taste. She's finally pooping now and it's hard and she's straining too much

try pear puree
Oatmeal is easier to digest
try watermelon...u can juice it and give her as a drink.
Breastmilk - believe me it works!

JGracious:


I don't know about using ribena as a sweetener. Personally I will prefer natural foods /fruits as sweetners.

You can get a potato masher if you don't have a blender. It works fine for my apple puree, rice pudding...you only need to get what you're mashing soft.

check the stores for a potato masher. you fit get one in your kitchen already sef.

Tnx a lot ma.

hunniesuzie:



My boy don turn big boy now now! God bless him. No, it's too sweet. I have one small hand masher that I use sometimes. Just boil the fruits soft and mash. No need to boil banana sef. Also your baby may be like mine that doesn't even eat sweetened pap sef

Lol I pray o...
Thank ma.

feddy27:


You don't need sweeteners. The cereal + milk is already sweet. Fruits is to add extra flavor and more nutrients.

Wow didn't even know its jex for flavor sef, thank God.
Thank ma for ur response.

babythug:


No ribena can't serve as a sweetener! In fact it's discouraged except in cases like Giddy's where baby isn't drinking water readily if you get me.

From my experience with my boys sweeteners aren't always necessary infact I've never given to my children till they were much older. Cereal with or without milk is all they were fed as babies.

One mum here was gracious enough to share how to make date syrup it's worth giving it a shot! Just read back a few pages and you'd find it

The purées too aren't so bad nor are they that cumbersome to prepare but of course only if convenient!

Good luck and hope this helps!

Alryt ma, thanks alot.

enque:


u dont need a blender for banana - u can use a fork or spoon
apple is softer once cooked, just cut into much smaller bit before cooking, so u can easily mash with a fork afterwards

Awww sounds more easier... Thanks mommy Zara, kisses to her.

Good evening experience mothers. I just started cereal for my son, I got Gerber oatmeal cereal which I started just this morning, he took a little. Please who has bought BEBIVITA FRUITY BREAKFAST PORRIDGE BEFORE? and is there any better cereal I can start. He will be 5month next week.

Help a sis please

Lol. Rihanna has some hard core stans so me I take her reviews with a pinch of salt. A friend of mine is a stan, Rihanna follows her on SM and all so she has exposed their crazy world to me. I'll ask for her review cos I'm sure she has bought

Giddyperson:
Not bad at all if u are looking to spend less money on foundation but not wow. Me I'm eyeing Rihanna's fenty, I wonder when it would reach those of us in the third world tho I hear it's high end but I'd like to try it atleast once cuz all the reviews of it I've watched on YouTube are great.

lol I feel this one is more than stanship. That's why I prefer watching YouTube reviews cuz you can see their faces transform 100%. Plus me too I like Rihanna. *Runs away*

*runs back briefly* Thanks Enque for the tips

I clean with vinegar and a wash cloth. You can get vinegar from any pharmacy near you.

I was like, I don't see reason to for now since we are still ebf (no food dropping on her cloth) and she isn't drooling..she was now like surprise that no drooling at 5month+ that she learnt that if a baby didn't drool the will be falling sick when they start teething.. ha I rejected it..

Its not true superstitious believe I think. My baby didn't drool or fell sick I only just saw he already grew 2teeth at 3months. Now he will be 8months soon he drools now and has 7teeth already with NO SiCKNESS. Just use the yoruba black teething soap to bath ur baby from his head down to other parts of his body u wouldn't even know when his teeth will come out.

Blend avocado?!!! No now but if you have hand blender you MAY use.

Pawpaw... blend with hand blender, banana and all other fruit too because I also find it not smooth when I mashed my banana with fork so I use hand blender

Just passing by, say make a holla my baes!! Longest time..

I just saw this little mortar on Jumia, maybe I'd hold on until I order it, I also saw the hand blender, the little ones sold for 1k ish. I think I'd just go with the mortar cuz it's easier to sterilize plus those hand blenders are not strong at all. Anyway until then, avacado would hold on cuz my spoon is just not cutting it, literally

Giddyperson:

Yes you can blend with a little water or breastmilk or formula mixed with water, sometimes I blend with carrot when I want a smooth paste

You use fork to mash mama!!! Not spoon. Spoon is to scoop it out then fork is to mash

babythug:


Will share this on one baby food thread I found if you don't mind please!

Fed..dy27 I shared your tips already hope you don't mind!

It's ok dear

This is what I use for pawpaw, bananas and avocado. A spoon doesn't really work

Got it free though so I don't know how much it's sold

Heinz and cow & gate have cereals for 4-6months. I've never heard of this one this mentioned. Also introduce a new cereal one at a time. Give it 4 days before you introduce another one so you detect if your child has any allergic reactions
