Hi everyone, recently my 5 YO Daughter is facing constipation issue. I'm so worrying because she told me that sometimes her stomach is quite pain and she never poo for 4 days. I'm a new mother so I'm not dare to give her to try any medicine. I hope anyone here can suggest to me that what kind of remedies can prevent the issue.

mummy2be:
pls when can a baby start taking cereal?

there re cereals for 4month olds

Have u given plenty fruits including orange juice? plenty water? If it has persisted, u can tk her to d hospital.

Pls whoever knows anyone dat knows anyone dat knows anyone dat works in Nestle, shld tell dem 2 pls improve d taste of Nutrend. It tastes like shaft. I always force my lo 2 take it, but wen I tasted it, I regretted buying it. Wen I give her friso gold, she takes it without stress bt wen it comes 2 d nutrend, na war. I'm switching 2 cerelac once dis tin finish. Sorry 4 d ranting.

I took nutrend a lot wen i was in school.

NoQualms1:
@shndy, thanks. The agnesia powder that I bought didn't work. I guess it's fake.

@tchiwinnie and @lovinam, thanks. I've been hearing about this powder, but I've never seen it anywhere. Where can I get it? I stay in Lagos.

Thanks mamas for the heads up on Nutrend. I won't bother to go near it.

Check shops dat sell baby things or supermarkets.

I'm not sure cos I think friso contains enough milk. I usually give my baby aptamil as drink cos his cereal contains milk

AdaobiFelix:
plls can I add aptamil to my baby's friso?

U gv ur lo nutrend without milk?! Me, wen i tk it it, i add enough milk o. I ignore wot they write on d tin and add milk o

Good day mamas in d aos? Abeg I need una advice here based on experience. Wch formular is d best for a baby after exclusive breast feeding. I tried by LO on SMA gold and he's been av running stool. My LO is 6months old and pple associate d diarrhea wt teething, meawhile, I prepare d sma thick cos its nt easy spoonfeeding a watery milk( d nurses adviced against bottle). Som1 says I shd get frisogold WHEAT & another says frisogold RICE; I'm confused. My milk supply has reduced and my LO has lost soo much weight[color=#770077][/color]

I finally bought frisogold wheat after checking all the cereals in the store. It's far better than that Nutrend. Ive given him twice now and i think he loves it. I even added his formula thinking it's the same with Nutrend. I tasted it and found out twas too sweet. That means it has enough milk already. I won't add milk henceforth.

I started with Aptamil and everthing was fine but when i couldn't get the milk, i bought Nan 2 and he reacted badly to it. Now i'm giving him SMA gold and it's okay.
U shouldn't prepare it too thick. The way u prepare is written on the tin. one scoop to 30ml of water. Maybe that's the problem.
U can start with wheat . I think it's easily digestible(written on it). Hope this helps

@munz, I can't stop laughing, normally cereals improve,we used Nutrend for my cousin about 11years ago and it was not so bad, though I have not used it for my baby, anyway you can use others with your frisogold cereal

Please don't alter the measurement of the milk...it is very dangerous....it is even written on the tin. Who advised spoonfeeding milk? I have never heard or read that one before o. A 6mth old should be taking milk from a bottle, a sippy cup or a regular baby cup. Spoon will create a mess even.

chickygirl:
Gud evening mamas in house..pls I realy need una advice, my 1 year nine month old baby is having measeals and people recommened seven keys herbal mixture for him..hv bought but am having second thoughts, pls has anyone used it before

Pls Madam, follow the other advice given. Take your baby to the doctor. Measles in children is not beans, that's why they particularly developed a vaccine against it. Any illness in children should not be taken lightly. Pls see your doctor.

Besides, wasn't he vaccinated?

that's what the nurses at govt hosps advise, but I don't follow that wahala, I only give cereal with spoon and plate, it's more reasonable

How old is your baby? I'm currently using aptamil 3 for 1yr- 2yrs

AdaobiFelix:
thnx Lovinam for ur reply. Another one plsssss, the aptamil from 6mnths is written "wwith pronutra" can I continue using it? Thnx much. God bless u n ur family

Thick ke? Pls follow the instruction on the tin. Also you need to get a feeder( feeding bottle) or sippy cup. Rice is always better as first cereal.

Most, if not all cereals r supposed 2 only need water added. U r a grown up so u can afford 2 break d rules. I ll just get her anoda tried n trusted 1 jare.

A nurse also told me to feed my baby with cup and spoon that using bottle is very dangerous, i didnt take to it o because its not easy feeding formular with it. I just rejected all the bad effect she said it can cause like choking. Moreover,our mothers have been using feeders for so many years and nothing happened.

There s absolutely nothing wrong wt spoon feeding a baby milk.

After exclusively breastfeeding my baby, he didnt tk formular so i gv cereals and added formular to his cereals and pap. As odas hv said, u dont need to mk d milk thick. U cld get either of d cereals u mentioned. There re actually a lot of cereals out there in d mkt.

Some People saying using a spoon and a plate is more hygienic, than using feeding bottles. Cos u will have sterilize d feeding bottle bottle, why d plate you just wash it. Also some babies reject feeding bottles.
