@New.mercies This works, I used this method to ease my lo's constipation, however, I suggest you start with 10mls in between feeds combined with reducing the number of scoops as explained by zayni.e and see how it goes. Also google other ways you can ease constipation in babies. You will find things like tummy massage, cycling exercise and so on

In btw, hope your breast milk supply has increased. Keep expressing and keep putting baby to breast


I think she said something about not breastfeeding baby cos of health issues or so and not lactation ish.

Thank you so much. I will buy another one today and try all the method suggested. Phew!!!! sad sad
hunniesuzie, i dont even know. What i sha know is that since i started buying from the store, when i opened and remove some to small container then cover the rest before the next day, small insect(all those invisible insect) shey na weevil dem dey call ni, go enter.
@wholesomegrace, i cant put in water because its dry powder. Everything will just spoil once.

Thank you all. angry angry

Put inside water ke, of course, it will turn to water. What i'm talking about is elevating inside water o. i.e Just like u don't wanna get wet in a puddle and decide to step on a stone. The stone or whichever stuff you decide to use is the elevation.. like a plate, formula stays on plate and clear of water

Other uses for onion skins
Noted ethnobotanist James Duke recommends an infusion of onion skins as a soothing wash for the itch of scabies and other skin disorders.

The Onion Skin Has More Antioxidants than the Onion Itself

Onion skin contains a powerful plant pigment called quercetin which reduces blood pressure and helps prevent clogged arteries. Eating the onion skin dramatically reduces the risk for:

Cardiovascular disease
Colon cancer
Obesity
Type 2 Diabetes
Gastrointestinal problems
The onion skin has anti-carcinogenic, antifungal, anti-bacterial and antioxidant properties.

How to Make Onion Skin Tea

Onion skins are ideal detoxing agents. Use the skins for their amazing health benefits by brewing a powerful medicinal hot tea daily. Set aside the unused onion skins when you are cooking and use these for tea making. In a glass mason jar, place the onion skins and outermost layers of the onion. Pour hot water over the onion skins and let them steep for about fifteen minutes. Strain out the onion skins and drink the tea at bedtime.

Since my baby started this Tom brown, her poop is new extremely so strong, sometimes it comes out like stone, i give her water before and after every feed, though sometimes she hardly drinks after feeding.also, She take 120ml of the Tom brown 2-3 times a day, i think its too small, the highest she has eaten is 150ml, dunno how to increase her appetite, also heard that i should give her vitamin D now DAT she has started semi-solid.

Naomi I can understand your fears. Jajaina delivery with episiotomy no be moimoi. My first baby my episiotomy was in two places and it was quite painful and took a while to heal. Despite that I resumed duty with oga six weeks sharp . You can't tell your hubby you aren't kpekusing for 1 year now haba or you want a junior wife to be employed. The best bet is once you are fully healed which is usually max of 3 months go and do the family planNing thing if you are not ready to have another baby and then buy KY jelly . It's an okay lubricant that way you will be pain free . Once your fears have subsided you can stop using the lubricant.
abeg on this matter me too have decided that I will not have sex for one year to cos hubby refused to give me sex for 9months of preg. Even when I needed it to see if I could fall into labour to avoid Cs my hubby still refused and I went for a second CS just one month after delivery he is asking for sex. I am soo angry that since he can go this 11months without it he can as well go another 11months without it plus I pp scared of preggy and he hates CD.

My opinion is that she is taking too much of it. Give her once a day and then give other vegetables and fruits. Tom brown is millet, yellow corn and guinea corn. To me, it's like eating plenty garri and still expecting her poop to be soft.

Try and give other foods.

To ease myself the stress of making purees every morning , on Saturdays I make apple puree, Pear Puree, Avocado puree , carrot puree all depending on what I need for the week and store in the freezer . Anyone I need for the day I just bring it out in the morning while preparing breakfast nd warm it.

Then I made date syrup myself and put it in a jar and kept it in the fridge . When I make my baby's food i sweeten it with the syrup . Like she will be having rice cereal mixed with carrot puree this evening I ll add her milk then sweeten it with the syrup . The rice cereal was made by me also ( recession plenty grin )

Give her water well.... She has started solids.

Mamas have answered the formula question well. Do you use barrier cream for your LO? it may be a reaction to that or the diaper especially if you changed diaper recently.
