So, concerning Dano Milk....

Dano states on their website that they are not for children under the age of 2. Which is weird, because Full Cream milk is supposed to be acceptable for children 12 months and older. Unless, Dano is saying Full Cream =/= Whole Milk.

Background: The whole idea of Follow-up milk started from its manufacturers, who were prohibited by laws of better continents like EU and USA, not to sell or advertise milk to parents of newborns (WHO had announced that Breastfeeding was best and they were trying to comply). So milk makers then packaged whole milk as follow-up milk and THEN sold it beside their formula brand in stores. So that a tired, stressed out parent would see follow-up milk from Brand A, certified by all the certifying agencies and see formula (Which states in VERY FINE PRINT on the can "Breastfeeding is best" ) beside it and think "if their adult milk is good enough for toddlers, same with formula". It's a marketing strategy.

Howeverrrrrrr, Naija is the opposite: people here LIKE cutting corners. So at one point, Golden Morn was being fed to 6 month old babies (it's not well-digested). And when Nestle announced that parents should stop, Nigerian mentality kicked in and people said Nestle was only saying that to force "wise pipu" to buy their more-expensive, made-for-babies cereals.

Now, since Nestle didn't want to get sued by anyone whose child eats Golden Morn, they slapped a disclaimer: "Not an Infant Cereal" on their packets.

Same with Dano: they have stated it on their website and Facebook. They do NOT want "wise pipu" to feed their 7 month old powdered whole cream cow's milk, then hit them with a class action suit in court. Peak already has their follow-up milk product (Peak 123), it has added sugar (that's why some Drs don't like it).

So if you are gonna keep giving your child Dano Full Cream, do it knowing that if anything happens, their asses are covered legally.

Is there anything wrong with Full Cream Milk for a child 12 months and older? Fvck no. Unless you're one of those parents who are Vegans and do not give ANY animal products to children (I have 2 friends like that, one only drank milk in uni and isn't giving her child any).

You're welcome.

That's a bacterial rash, sudocream won't treat it. Antibacterial ointment will.

That rash is caused by Atopic Dermatitis and it was EVERYWHERE, spreading amongst babies for at least 4 months. One of my Drs is supposed to do a blog post about it. Can I ask a favour from you?

Secondly, stop the pap for 2 weeks. See what happens.

For the mums wondering what to feed their kids

www.nefescorner.com/6-food-hacks-for-your-baby-and-toddler/

I did not give cereal to my baby until 7 months because he ate what the toddler ate. Most mums of multiple kids will tell you the same happened to them. No point in giving bland cereals and purees then expecting a miracle to happen at 12 months and the child will accept Ogbono. HTH

OK thanks dear...i dont think it has anything to do with the taste of the pap...i actually tried Frisogold..the rice based cereal which is very sweet and he refused it...I tried cerelac, he took very little..just today I also tried potatoe puree with fish, which came out very nice..he took little as well.. I just wish he cld get his large appetite back...

Thanks or the link...I guess I ll have to keep trying


What quantity are you expecting him to finish?

For guidance, A baby's tummy is as big as their fist. So use that to gauge the food size So you reduce waste.


In the first few weeks of introducing solids a few spoons is considered success. Dont beat your self up. Do not expect him to finish a whole bowl of cereal, if he does, all well and good. He is also learning to control his tongue to swallow thicker food fed from a
Spoon rather than sucking from a bottle or nipple which is placed at a different position in the mouth. so sometimes the spitting out is just him getting the hang of it. It's only been a few weeks. Give it some time.

Feed whatever solid you give and and when he indicates he is no longer interested still give him milk, to top up afterwards. Maybe like 150ml rather than say 210ml.

Pls help describe how to do steam inhalation for a 5weeks old pls

This should help you.

AlphaHandMaiden:


Get a saline nasal spray. It comes either as drops or a spray. I feel the spray is easier to use though but some prefer the drops.
If you see the catarrh is dry and thick, use the spray, it helps soften it up and it will be easier to either suck out or just help moisturize inside the nostrils.

You can get olbas oil, ( it is more efficient than plain eucalyptus oil(silverbird)
There is olbas for babies and the normal olbas. The one for babies is much milder. But a few drops on her bib or on her clothes - do not put directly on her skin.


Menthylatum, (, i dont know how strong the one you have is but if it is not a baby grade one, i will suggest you dilute with shea butter and rub on her chest, back and on the soles of her feet.

You can also add a TINY bit with some shea butter and rub ON her nose across the nostrils and from forehead down to the tip of her nose. Please do not put anything apart from the nasal spray in to her nostrils.

You can do a bit of steam inhalation with hot water and a few drops of eucalyptus oil.
Get help from your hubby or someone else to hold a wrapper or bed sheet over you, the baby and the bucket or bowl of hot water whilst doing the steam inhalation.

Or if you have running hot water, sit with your baby in the bathroom( may be on the toilet seat) and run the shower on the hottest setting so the bathroom steams up. The steam she inhales will help ease some of the congestion.

Try and keep her head elevated when she is sleeping it helps the congested feeling. For day time naps, you can let her stay in a bouncer or rocker. For night time, try elevating the 2 front legs of the crib.


Sorry there is no surefire cure, but these will help provide some relief.

Other things you can do is get hand sanitiser and use frequently and for other people that want to carry her either they go wash their hands or they use hand sanitiser. Also Limit access to other older but small children, as they can transmit all sorts of bugs from nursery, school and God knows where else.

Ensure that place is dry before you wear nappies. They kind of rash is usually caused by moisture. After wiping, pat dry with a towel or tissue. Apply your prescribed cream and let it air dry for a bit before diaper goes on.

My 5 weeks old been sneezing and breathing like stuffy nose
Any remedies I could use or over-the counter drug to administer or need I see a doc for it?
Do steam inhalation ( get a bowl of hot water or run a hot bath with you and baby safely covered. You can apply sheabutter to the bridge of his nose to decongest and aid easy breathing.
But if you feel it's not getting better or it worries you much please see a doctor.

If the poop is not watery, slimy, greenish, whitish or blood stained no worries. It should stop as her system adjusts.

You can see a doctor if you need more assurance.

Eyaa, i feel for him. Please no diaper during the day, leave soap for now when bathing him, no spunch too. Just warm water. Rub ori (shearbutter), free up his bum for fresh air. Give him fruits rich in vitamin or simply give him vitamin c, this should hrlp him heal up in two days. You may also apply normal powder (not dusting powder oo, it will hurt him more).

Freeing his bum, please also watch the weather around you. Its a bit cold now so you may need to wear him something light but not diaper for covering.

This works great. She can also apply the ori on the head and chest. You won't smell cold around your baby as long as you do this.

Let him go bare for now no diapers. Just wear loose pants day and night, you can use an under lay for bedtime or spread nylon with old bedsheets on top to absorb urine and poop.

When he is healed be sure to apply base cream before diaper and not leave the diaper on for too long.

Also he may be reacting to the diaper you use, did you change brands or place of purchase? Might be inferior quality.

My son and nieces reacted badly to the red Huggies so I stay clear of it.
