It can be verrry frustrating introducing foods to babies but pls don't let the frustration lead you to hitting the baby. In a very short while, you would be shocked how well you baby eats. Just be patient. Creche can be of help cos the child would see other children eat, just ensure the creche isn't the type that force feed children. Pack what he can tolerate and just little of what you want him to take, pack cereal and milk without mixing in his bag and let the minders know he is choosy. All the best

Good morning mamas...pls treat ugently....pls may baby started stooling on Saturday and I have taken him to d hospital dey gave us some medication
But d stooling hasn't stop...
Pls what can I do or give him again...

How would you describe this stool? The frequency, consistency? Have you used zinc? Is the child weak? If she is weak, just go back to hospital asap.

For most babies, the birth complexion is not their real complexion. Look at the tips of her ears, whatever colour is there is the real complexion, just embrace it and focus on ensuring that whatever the colour of the skin is, it glows with no blemish. Personally I use only organic products for my son and his skin has had no issues since birth.

Iyamefa:
Hello mums, good to be here. I gave birth a few days ago and here to seek advice. I know this issue most likely would have been overflogged here already but I would love my baby to retain her birth complexion. Any ideas on what products would be suitable for this or what products to avoid? Ftm here. Thanks

Hi, please do not force your baby to eat. Whatever he's taking please continue to give him. Beating him before he eats will make him further associate tears and bad feelings with food and that's not what you want. Patiently try new things, my son is like yours. Eating adult food then regressing, we're still patiently managing him

Iyamefa:


Yes, the same

If is the same with the tip of her ear, then continue with the product you're using for her. I use jimpo ori and boots baby soap for my children and no skin issue.

Eezohbae:


No dear...Just like Anugod answered,the SMAPro1 is still within her age and you're doing it right

For example SMA Gold,they have SMA1 for 0-6months,SMA2 for 6months to 1years and SMA3 for 1year -3years

OK..THANKS MAMA.

Lol at fighting with him abeg who won the fight? Babies at that age are quite choosy and easily get bored with food. Thus they might seem to readily accept a certain food today and by the next day, they turn their faces at it. Patience like others have said is the key. Also try getting someone else to feed him. He might not want to accept food from you when he can readily access his milk factory. So ask someone else to feed him and leave his presence while he is been fed. Let's see if he would be more cooperative. It is well

Oh Mama, i feel ya!

I have an equally hyper-active 14month old GIRL who cant sit still, almost like you described "as if she on an errand" - we have moved things around and always shut doors behind us.

However, once we back her tightly, she will doze off in less than 15mins.

In their defense, this is the stage for this kinda attitude, My SIL runs a sch and says its perfectly NORMAL so please don't worry, its not a medical condition (i thought it might be).

If you can back him yourself, please do, then stack pillows and lie down on your tummy with him backed. If not, please find someone to back him.

May God reward us with peace of mind with these children.

Welldone Mama

Hello ma'am, since d place is red already air his bum. Allow fresh air there for sometime. You can very small quantity of funbactA cream on the affected spots
They will dry in no time. And pls stop d cream immediately they dry up and religiously change baby's diapers frequently. Ensure to use wipes at each nappy change
Pele

Hi mums. Pls come 2my aid. My 3months old baby just fell from the chair. I met her face down. I'm so confused right now. I have checked all her body n seen nothing. I don't even know how she fell cos i went to take her clothes in.
What should i do. She has stopped crying tho

Oh dear!
That's how my 8 months old who just started crawling crawled from bed and fell yesterday I was careless!
How's she feeling today?
Try press her whole body with warm water and massage her with Shea butter or palm kernel oil.it will help loosen all her joints and ease any pain.

Good day mama,
Kindly assist with your review on aptamil+frisogold, and or August secret for six month old.

Thank u Mamas as we await your response.

My baby is 6months and she’s taking frisogold, aptamil, cerelac and August secrets.. she has refused to take any other thing even fruits. When we started introducing solid foods, she rejected all the foods but the first time I introduced August secrets, she ate. I was speechless mehhnn, she likes August secrets to the point that even when she was sick, she stopped taking her cereals but she never stopped taking AS. She likes frisogold too and takes oatmeal sometimes. I’m sorry for the late reply.

Frequent watery stool... Zinc and ors is among d medication given....he is not weak

Good morning mothers. Pls when is d appropriate time to start giving teething medication?

Not necessary
When my boy's teeth came out, I didn't even know.

Funmi2510:

Is the child teething, hence putting stuff into the mouth which might not be so hygienic, because zinc when given in the right dose should stop the stooling. I would advice you keep up with d drugs and hygiene too, and let him be well hydrated. if it persists, go back to hospital oh.

Try to air dry as much as possible. I did everything to prevent my daughter for having diaper rash, but she still had it. I kept on applying her diaper cream and wash her bum with water after every diaper change and let it air dry for 30 minutes before wearing her diaper. When i'm less busy, I remove her diaper and hand fan her bum.

The rashes faded after a week.

Good day mamas,

I dont know if i am being paranoid oh, mosquitoes bit my child yesterday a looot and today she seems to be cold, tho d weather is cold. Shes makin loud noises in her sleep and at a time was breathing as if shes shivering. I have covered her up but she has been sleeping for too long and I’m worried cos she’s usually a light sleeper, but i have made plenty noise yet she is still sleeping and making loud sleep sounds. Her temperature is normal. She is 14 weeks old. Please help

Good afternoon mummies in the house. Please o I need help! How do you wean your baby from bottles? My DD hates spoons(Except as a toy). She throws a tantrum whenever I try to feed her with a spoon and sometimes even throws up.
But give her bottle and she will finish 200ml of thick pap/AS. I need ideas on how to make her like using spoon. She's almost 8 months old. Biko don't ignore... Cos her grandma is saying I should leave her alone, that since she stopped sucking breast by herself, she will stop the bottle herself too.

Linda2019:
He used to take pap with sma pro but bcus of I I started breastfeeding him a lot he doesn’t want to eat anything at all just to suck breast even d yogurts I bought sef which is a mixture of blended fruits, I bought 3 different types but he rejected all of dem even wen I give him biscuit flakes he used to eat now he would totally refuse it

Sorry mama, i know this phase can be quite frustrating but please take it easy with him. He might be teething and thats why he is refusing all the foods he takes before. I experienced this with my son, just give him some time
