Hello mother's in the house. Yesterday evening I notice a black/blueish spot in the middle of my DS tongue. Please help me, anyone with this kind of experience? I'm a bit worried. I read online it is thrush. But I need more clarification before going to see the pediatrician on Monday. Thank you all and have a wonderful Sunday.
He is about to clock 4months in few days.

Funny enough, I see aptamil at every nook and crannies of lagos, felt it was one of our aba brothers new invention. Some people feed their babies Enfamil of 9k, Similac of 12k and no noise. Everyone shld feed their babies whatthey can afford simple as long as the baby Is healthy

Kikikikikiki....make I laugh like firsttymum grin

I stand with helovesme on this! My lo is on combination feeding and I go one scoop less! Sma gold stated on their tin that your baby may need more or less scoops than recommended! Less works for us and he is just fine!

Find out what works for your baby and stick with that simple. There's no one size fits all on this matter.

You just read my mind...do what works best for you. How's Ekene the great? Kisses to him

mum modath good morning. . I abeg I get qwesion.. I read tht u started giving ur los golden morn at 10months.. I bought for my lo whn he clocked 11 months and I hv given him a few times.. I observed tht he gets constipated whn he takes it although I make it watery.. Im thinking it's the milk cos I used to load it with milk.. I stopped after sometime.. just started it again but this time with reduced quantity of milk.. waiting to observe
cerelac is now scarce nd even if I find I buy 2k2 for 1kg nd it will last 7days.. o boy not in this kind economy. . not having cerelac makes me creative with his meals.. I try to incorporate fibers in his diet but mama cant b in d kitchen all d time..
how dd u control the constipation in ur los if they ever had?
if they ddnt, how can I go about it..
my lo will by one 14th of nxt month..

Sometime during immunization last year, some pediatricians/ doctors came and gave a talk about giving paracetamol to babies before immunization. They said it's not right and it interferes with the injections.
Have anyone else heard this?

Hello sis, it's been a while & my memory is a bit fuzzy but i can't remember having constipation problem cos the golden morn wasn't the only meal, it was just the primary cos at that stage, they are still a handful & feeding them nor dey easy....... but i know :

..i didn't use much milk,

...We did amala & ewedu + crayfish & fish,

....We did soft boiled eggs, rice, almost any kind of food..

Squeezed oranges & lots & lots of water also ribena as well...

I learnt from my baby friendly class that little ones' palates are adaptive & we should from 6 months begin to feed our babies bits & pieces of anything we eat as staple to get them acquainted. ....

Baby K clocked 6mths last sunday & I've tried to introduce Amala to him 2ce now but na squeezey squeezey face tinz, e nor get choice, e must wack am, na patience...

BTW... Ogi is fantastic but a lazy die.. tongue


*caveat* ..... My biuriful mamas, this is my way, it is not a prescription or guideline, it is what i was advised & worked for US.... , Love everyone... kiss kiss

So I just left the hospital in tears..my baby is underweight for his age cry.. He's weighing 3.47 for a baby who was born at 3.5kg..his paediatrician said he isn't getting enough breast milk and the little he's getting he's burning off by sucking for so long..that I should get a breast pump and take lots of fluids..truth is I'm trying my best to eat as much as I can but I'm not finding it easy..it hurts to.. know that all his cries were caused by hunger..the annoying part is I'm very busty..why then is there no milk..I'm so not happy..I'll increase his feeds then get fenugreek..pls any other tips on how to improve milk flow..


i can soooo relate with you, had my lo on the 15th of dec so he's abouth the same age as yours.fenugreek kind of worked for me so you can try it. No need feeling bad o, i was so sure my lo will be on ebf but from day 1 he refused to nurse i tried all the technique bobo say no. so i had to express full time. nurses had to advice i use a spoon cos he refused to suck the bottle too. My priority was for food to sha enter his body. 3sundays ago i wasnt able to get 100ml of bm, my mum was blowing grammer for me. i just went to buy formula cos at birth he was 3.1 kg and looked really under weight probably because he's a tall baby. right now any day i express lots of bm he takes it more otherwise i give the formula. at his six weeks immunization last week he weighed 4.5kg. put him to the breast everyday and since last he would just suck a little and thats it i sometimes feel bad o and wish i was making enough bm but buttomline he's eating.
