I remember dewormin my baby at 8mths wen sh 1st started teethin so I think u shld talk 2ur paediatrician so dat they'l tel u d worm med suitable 4his/her age&d right dosage too.

Honiepie24: hello beautiful mums,pls could i ask if any one is doing xclusive breast feeding and for those who aint doin xclusive wen nd hw did dey introduce their young ones to bottle nd suppliment feeding?wat brand of suppliment food did yu use?tnk u.

U didn't state how old ur baby is.Well,I introduce pap as in d one made wit guinea corn&millet(was givin it 2her wit soyabeans&milk) 2my baby at 5mths but was stil breatfeedin&also givin NAN then at 6mths,tryin out differnt types of cereal.They hav diff cereals 4diff ages but I'l advice u start Amala or semo wit draw soup.Use locally made foods 1st b4 u jump 2oyibo food.Lik somone stated b4,u shld blend fruits (watermelon,orange,apple&d rest)&giv too

tjskii: it was ow fear jolted me into gettin family plannin orientation at my clinic yesterday,I finally settled on a contraceptive called jadell,its supposed to be a tiny catridge implanted into ur arm,and for 5yrs ure good to go,has anyone here used it,wat was ur xperience wth it lik

Since u hav 2kids already,it might b good 4u.My frnd used it(don't knw y sh went 4dat one)&now dat sh's ready 2concieve,sh's havin problm takin in&sh doesn't hav even 1 though sh carried it for just a yr.Sh Wanted 2go 4her masters in Canada so sh didn't want pregnancy or any s**t 2hold her back.I don't knw if its d implanol (if dats d right pronounciation) dat's d problm though but I knw sh suffered miscarriage a year b4 sh did dat FP.I remember afta my 1st baby,wen I resumed my period,I went 2c d gynae&d side effects of these family plannin stuffs scared d hell out of my husbnd esp d hormonal ones,they said it causes mood swings&d one inserted in d hand causes u 2grow hairs on chest (can't forget dat one cos my mind was there til d dr said it does dat 2som ppl so I ran).I wish u d best joor.I don't knw y men don't go thru al these s**ts

thnx swit

@ tjskii, babies no ne beans o, I'm also considering the implant. The one I'm currently using is noristerat injection, so far no weight gain or mood swings. Only thin is I've seen my period only once in the 2 months since I started. The doc took his time to ecpalin d possible side effect of hormonal contraception. I don't like the idea of renewing d injection every 2 mos, best get a longer term one

@hummingbird heard of a similar scary story where IUD was wrongly inserted in a poor lady. It led to cervical cancer and she eventually passed away. So you're right we need to be careful when considering contrapcetives.

@itsmelex. Similar thing happened to M̶̲̅ε̲̣ when my boy was teething at 9mos. He refused d b/milk. I was in so much pain for abt 3 days. Just when I was heaving a sigh of relief, this boys started demanding his property muyjk$ore than ever, I went to overflowing boobies to completely drained. So still dey observe him o .
Rily enjoying d thread, keep it up mamas

Ds issue of Contraceptv is really a serious one oh, hubby doesn't wanto hear Family planning oh and considering the side effects I kinda agree wth him. He dicided on wthdrawal method which hangs my mind.......God will help us Sha....

Na wa o...which one is d best na? all of them haf side effects.

Hi babes, funny enuf, I de-wormed my baby 2 weeks ago. She is 8 months now. She was always throwing up. Sometimes while eating, I felt it was over feeding. It was when she woke up from sleep at 12am and threw up on d bed, that was when I knew there was something else to it. A nurse asked me if she was de-wormed n asked me to de-worm her by giving her a spoon of liquid combantrin.

Hmmm, since I gave her enh...not one day has she even mistakenly thrown up. Never knew it was that important to deworm.

I knew a few peeps who never deworm their baby, so it's really up to u, especially if there is nothing wrong with the baby.

very intresting

zinylizzy: Na wa o...which one is d best na? all of them haf side effects.

m opting for the natural method o..may God help me,I cnt face all dis risks..and if another baby comes before 3years ,wil acept it(hopefully it wnt be twins den)

Great mothers in d house i salute u all,my baby is 9mos+ she is not eating only breast pls mothers i want to stop her breast is it gud by dis age ad what wil i do to help her

Yeah breastmilk is important, but some babies over indulge in it. Your baby sounds exactly another I heard of. His mother was fed up cos he was always crying and losing too much weight. At abt 10 mos they had to stop breastfeeding. It was difficult cos he cried a lot. Afterwards he started eatin everything they give him. Even his mama tire sef .
Its not gonna be easy but it may be time to stop b/feeding her. You've been at this for months now, you've really tried.

Thanks Dear. still observing oh. Still no interest today, but taking nan2...no going back oh!

@itsmelex abeg free d pikin,he don loose interest,same thing happened wth my 1st kid,he rejected breasttmilk at 4mnths,I jejely left him,cos I had alredy planned dt I wud wean him at 3mnths sef(na my mumsy hold me till d 4mnths sef),all dose plenty talk bout breastfeedinn d pikin for lik 9mnths no dey enter my ear,cos d argument dt kids are brainier and all dat wen thyr xclusivl breastfed dosnt convince me,all dose oyinbo pikin wey dem no dey even breastfeed nko,and they end up being very sharp and creative,compare and contrast to most naija pikins dt they even breastfeed til 2yrs sef(wey d pikin go dey lift himm mama blouse hiself),I just believe dt if ur kid is naturally intelligent and u giv him d best education u can,thhen that child will do well,irresppectiv of whether or not he was breastfed

Now this is just my opinion,I'm not critisizing mums who r exclusively breastfeedin o,u guys rock,it can't be easy doin that for 6mnths and den continuing to 9-12mnths

@ Honie, wari,swtme and Jade; thanks, i realy appreciate all your response. may God continue to protect our children @ tsjkii: na wa oo, so how are we going to do it now? u please mothers which milk can l be adding to my 7 months baby pap or other food

Thread bn active n interestin......Kudos u all

Ur boo is lik myn.He said he doesn't want 2feel guilty at d long run so no FP.My gynae explained evry method one by one&d possible side effects.At 1st we agreed on condoms but then he said it kills d fun dat wen he was single,he was condomizin so y wud he stil condomize wen he's married so We settled 4withdrawal too but evrytym,I'l b so scared cos I'l b lik wot if a tiny soldier entered unknowingly?I'l spend hrs in d bathroom cleanin up as if dat can prevent anythng is d soldier found its way in.Then d anxiety of countin days 2my period&s**t.Evry mth,I get so scared.May God help women indeed

tjskii: @jade and humming,I feel u guys,also did research on d contraceptives,almost all of dem get comma,all srts of side effects,but wetin person go do na,belle no be beans to carry now o

I did al d research o.Got 2nd;3rd&4th opinions.My mum said sh no do any FP dat they condomized.Those side effects?? Chei God.I'v settled my mind joor.If it enters,I go carry am.Y was I born a girl again?

zinylizzy: Na wa o...which one is d best na? all of them haf side effects.

Walai,if u hav a coperativ husbnd,natural method is d best but u might b carried away &get knocked up again.That's d thng..As I dey here,I dey pray mak menopause set in d moment I'm done havin kids.Geez.I heard dat abroad,they tie women's tubes&wen u'r ready 2hav more children,they untie ur tubes.I'm yet 2confirm dat but if its true;I'l so go 4it.

Layolaw: please mothers which milk can l be adding to my 7 months baby pap or other food

I used NAN 2 frm 6mths.SMA gold is also good if u can get d original unles u want 2go for foreign milk lik Aptamil,similac,Emfamil,cow&gate&d rest.
Add soyabeans to ur baby's pap too.Its good 4kids.Do u knw abt 7 seas codliver oil? It helps wit baby's bone.Ask ur peadiatrician abt it.SMy paed advised me 2use it wen my baby was abt 5mths.

But let's not discourage d ppl dat wants 2go 4family plannin abeg or d ppl dat has done it afta al abroad,ppl do breast implants&al sorts of implants not mindin d risks&side effects.D only can keep us alive is God's grace.I fully support family plannin cos d burden of raisin kids,givin dem quality food;good education;livin in a good&secure environment is not easy in 2day's economy so I support family plannin.But it al lies in d hands of ur spouse.If u can convince him,then u'r good 2go.My gynae said he advises ppl 2go 4d hormone own if u'v had one or 2kids so if I hav another child by God's grace,I hav 2close eye&do one cos I don't want mistakes o
