you mean she doesn't take milk??

Yup never took the bottle. Never took milk.

She takes it in her cereal and I have long weaned from the boobs

She walked at 9 months

Has 10teeth and is at a perfect weight.

I will say don't stress what you can't control. Put enough in her cereal.

Most cereal are from 6 months, gerber rice and oatmeal are from 4 months tho.

You can't predict what your baby will like so try diff brands. I used only gerber sha.

Also make puree if you can; apple sauce, vegetables like carrot, sweet potato, etc so you can have multiple variety.

You can google weaning puree recipe for 6 months old to get ideas.

I used to also go to the stores to look at he mixture purity food and all those other baby foods have and go make it at home cuz I do strictly organic.

Hi mamas!

I was told to give 2.5ml of vitamin c syrup. Also I am scared to use hot water near him so I put two drops of eucalyptus oil in very warm warm water then soak his wash cloth squeeze and gently dab on his nose for a few minutes. He's ok now.
Thanks mama.



I'm still waiting for answers to this. My baby's cough and catarrh has not stopped even though she's been taking the medicine that was given to her at the hospital for more than 3 days now. Mamas, any idea?

[quote author=pam09 post=34261543]Good evening house. Please I need urgent assistance.


Hi mama. I'm no expert but from advice handed down to me and my experience I can offer some assistance.

A 2 week old shouldn't really suckle for Thant long for a feed. I suspect she's either nursing for comfort or not getting enough. So you need to boost your supply.

Formula feeding is only going to make it flow less and your body is getting the message that your milk is not needed much and will readjust to suit what it considers as needed. So even if u must use formula TEMPORARILY you must pump so your body does nt register a missed feed.

My baby was jaundiced after 3 days post birth so the paed asked me to supplement as my milk hadn't come well. But he emphasized that I must first put him to the breast and when he's done give him 2 oz of formula. Not that I stop bf'ing.

So my suggestion and what works for me is this: I pump/feed every 2 hours unfailingly. Even if it's a few drops I get. I repeat every 2 hours. By the second day I was getting 8 oz in one sitting. The more I stimulated my glands the more milk I produced. So even if u give formula just to stop her from crying pump and see how much you're producing. If it's not much then start stimulating your milk production.

Like they say, most mothers' milk is sufficient there's just an art to it and a stressful one at that but I think it's worth it.

I'm back at work now and I pump in the office even. My child is my number 1 priority and I leave no one in doubt about it.

I love this forum! A little intro: I'm a ftm and ds is 3 months and a few weeks. He was 7kg at his 14 week appointment so he's a big baby. He was 8 pounds 11 oz at birth. I had him via cs as after 18 hours of active labour I was only 1cm with no epi.

He's healthy, chubby and happy. He had a terrible cough at 6 weeks and had to be put on antibiotics thanks to silly kissing family members.

Thank God for us all. We have seen their beginnings we shall never know their end. Omo lo ma sin wa o. We will not weep over them. Amen.

Remembered responding to d question maybe network didn let u see it. Sum babies just stop breastfeeding on their own plus do u laxtate well. Try express in bottle for her and see if she takes it but if nt, ur baby sure wants to wean herself early then u nid to start introducing cereals in her meal. Hope dis helps


My dear I expressed nd she finished and cried for more but when I tried giving her breast,she refused...

You can use cotton wool soaked in glycerin... but i don't think it should be daily.

Use a wash cloth in warm water but don't scrub too hard. Those are milk residue. It's a stage too
