Super Mummies, well done o!

Please Mums with 8 month old babies:

1. how did you get them to sleep all night? When will this vigil end biko?

2. Apart from their regular Cereals, fruit purees and rice puddings from Cow & Gate, what other nutritious (inexpensive) foods do you offer? My DD self-weaned already.

3. Also, what good hair products do you recommend for healthy hair growth?

At this age, she is ravenous... putting everything in sight in her mouth!

At 8 months, she can eat whatever you eat at home. Plantain porridge, Rice, beans, garri, blended pasta, (i like to blend the dry pasta before i cook) just put little or no pepper in her own meals and no bones.

As for sleeping at night, since she's been waened, try to start training her to sleep through the night. My method was to feed her as late as possible before she sleeps. (9-10pm) then not pick her up at night. If she wakes up I just tap her back until she sleeps back. If she's not sleeping back, I'd give water and keep tapping cheesy. Also make sure she's not too hot or too cold at night else she'd keep waking up. Didn't work for a long time cuz her dad would always pick her up and sing and feed and spoil her, but since we travelled and no daddy here, I've showed her who is boss cheesy She still wakes up eat every once in a while, and I feed her, esp if her last meal was before 7pm. I guess you would never stop totally waking up at night once you have kids, it just doesn't have to be every night.


Hair, I use water and shear butter mostly. I occasionally use other products to make life easier but I can't vouch for them.

Sorry dear. My dd coughs a lot too, their paed said is bronchial something, can't remember and is hereditary but will outgrow it before 10years. We don't sleep with AC on again, I don't do steam Inhalation for her, I fry once in a while and she mustn't be around even dust or fuel triggers it. I don't fleet again even if I want to, I do that in the morning when nobody is around and I always leave with my son so he won't inhale it too cos I don't know if he has it too.
I've Ascorex, Vit c and ibuprofen always in my house which was prescribed by the paed.
I believe she'll outgrow it one day.
E-hugs dear

Thanks so much mama. Also have those meds hsndyy

Have you tried giving ginger to your baby? Ginger has a very high benefits in cases like this. In your baby's pap/ogi blend ginger in it, in any other food put ginger. It'll help cure/relieve your baby from that. that's what has kept my baby from such ailment.

I wish your baby speed recovery.

I've always blended his pap with ginger just little quantity though and when the cough started again I have him ginger and honey but it didn't really help.

Thanks for the suggestions

I don't know about raw... but boiling it before adding would be ok.. what I do, while grinding the guinea corn, millet and yellow corn, I add it together and grind. So when I'm extracting it I do it at once and while making the pap, the hot water in making it makes it cooked.

FloraEC:

Supplements don't do shit for her. She'll be hungry but will request for agege bread or aintain or nta(water). What I do is to feed her bit by bit like 5 times in a day with fight.
We've tried: Vitane, well kid, Astyfer.
I'll take 10ml of Astyfer and be shivering for food like someone that was starved.
If you want her to cry or sleep just bring out her plate grin cheesy

Good afternoon mamas, I have 2 crèche on mind and I'm at a crossroad on which to pick.

1. It's opposite my house and it's a new school, although they have school elsewhere. they just built this annex in my street. The last time I checked there, they don't have any baby in crèche yet, and few pupils in other classes.

2. It's close to my house too as the street is behind us. The day I checked there, they have about 7 children in their crèche.

Hubby prefers the ones with children, he said DS will have friends to interact with.

Please mamas which one is better?

I'm sorry mama but I believe the more children the high tendency of children falling ill. Less children the less ailment and the caretaker would focus more on your child. My thoughts.

If he's up to 9 months old, then go for the one with kids. The learning and socializing to me is one of the few advantages of creche.
