This na A+ but .Pls can I feed my baby cereal fruit puree from bottle or It's just plate. Will start my baby on solid next month I am trying to decide on which formula for him. I suggested SMA gold but hubby with to the mail saw it and said its too cheap that he wants Aptamil or similac . He prefers similac but the trusted shop we can get it don't have . Is Aptamil better than cow and gate? How many cups of formula do babies take on the average in a month?

I started feeding cereal and all solids (puree inclusive) with plate and spoon from 6 months. Reason being it's easier to wash and I dont want to start worrying about food being stuck in the teat of the bottle.
Also assuming u want to give ur LO baby okro soup, u go use bottle? lol

we have been on SMA gold from birth (my DD is combi-fed) and it's been very nice for her. The 900g tin we use is 6k (depending on where u buy). I haven't used aptamil or similac b4.
My DD consumes 2 tins of 900g SMA gold in a month, sometimes i have to buy an extra 400g b4 the end of the month. I wouldn't know how much ur LO will take, considering that apetites vary.

luscioustrish:
Nobody even cared to answer me sef
Na so una dey do?
I asked what I can use to clean my baby's mouth

does ur LO have teeth?

My dd is 8 months and doesn't have teeth. I clean her gums with a damp warm washcloth.

Thanks Mama, God bless you. You don get A for this project no worry

No jor, This is A+ material...

hunniesuzie:
Thanks Mama, just got the August Secrets plan too so I'll work with this guide
Enque I'm still waiting for your arrangement

Hallos, i don show
eheeen, so here is what we do...

fruits - Banana puree, apple puree, avocado puree

cereals - Gerber oatmeal, Nutribom rice, nutribom multigrain, Cerelac (any of their combos), nutribom maize

Home made foods - Plaintain+titus fish puree, Sweet potato+titus fish puree, any other new meal we have tried and she likes.

August secrets nuttymeal, August secrets mixagrain,

Her daily meal is a combination of one or 2 foods food from each of the above groups and then milk (formula) feeds as well.

Example, for today I packed - 2 milk feeds + August secrets Mixagrain + Plantain fish puree + Cerelac.
She had breastmilk very early in the morning B4 we left the house(5.30/6am ish) and then around 8am she will have her mixagrain. Later in the day her nanny rotates the formula feed and other solids for her.
Most days she finishes all her food, but there are days when we have mostly 1 milk feed left, In such a case we take the milk for dinner and then breastfeed all night till the following morning.

I just try to vary her food so she isn't eating the same thing every day.

On the days when we have exhausted our home-made foods, we just do august secrets + cereals + formula feeds.

For cereals I also mix; Cerelac + nutribom or Gerber+cerelac or Gerber+Nutribom

* We try new meals on weekends, so I can see her reaction and how well she takes it. If she likes it, then I incorporate it into her weekday schedule.
*She likes boiled egg yolk, so I give her at nights when we are home (not everyday o), cos i feel it may get spoilt if i have to pack it in the morning and they wait till later to feed it to her.
*Fruit Purees are for snacking, more like an in-between meals kinda thing, cos e no de belleful her again. We also take fruit purees as dinner and then use bre.astmilk to support
*August secret veggie beans is for weekends too. She isn't a fan of it jare so I didnt include it in her weekday schedule.
* I add formula to her August secrets food except veggie beans

Chai! I can't believe all I just typed, e b like project defence speech

biko, if i remember more tips...i'll let u know jare

Cc giddy..person Jazz..yjazz

This was our schedule when we started solids a few months back

Chanbaby:
I loved the way my baby was taking it so I just continued giving him. Gave him one whole apple and 2fingers of banana separately though. Even dh said its too much for him. Thanks mamas

Chai... i think 2 banana is too much o.
I don't give more than 1 banana cos Banana is very filling. Even me as an adult, I sometimes take banana alone for dinner.

If it's a very big apple, I share it into 2 and freeze the remaining for the following day.

Chanbaby:
Mamas I got tempted by all this sumptuous purees u people are talking about here. I decided to give my 5mths+ exclusively breastfeed baby banana puree and apple puree separately and he took it very well but I noticed he had to push so hard poop he cried so hard when he pooped and when I checked his diaper and I could pick the poop off the diaper to tell u how hard it was. Hubby had to force him to drink water cos he doesn't like it.
I tot fruit helps people to poop easily? Pls what didn't I do right?

Banana and apple puree (applesauce) can be constipating for babies depending on the quantity u give, So u don't give so much at a time.
I ensure she takes enough water whenever she takes banana or applesauce.

U did nothing wrong my dear

Prettyhurts ur LO's healing is perfected in Jesus name..amen

jaygirl Pls find a creche close to ur office and put him there. U can take time today to find one during ur break.

blackFTM:
Wonderful mothers....ina Good afternoon o...

Abet I need advice....I have cough and I don't know if I should get cough med because I am EBF. what do you think

Try zaynie's palm oil and sugar, if symptoms persist after 2 days....go and see ya dokito.

wholesomegrace:
Did you cook the apple? Which is better, cooked or uncooked.

I haven't forgotten about that number. The lady from P&G said she has requested her office to send her the contact, once she sends, i will forward to u

my dd is just 8 months, so i steam the apples with tiny water before blending.
then i add the blended apple to the food.

ok. will be expecting it

Good morning mama, Just checking on everyone. Cough and Cattarh did not allow me to rest ohhhh

u or ur baby?

Jazzyjazz suzy

welldone mamas.....
just take it easy...ur LOs will adjust pretty soon.

The transition from bm/formula to solids isn't an easy one but we just have to keep trying. I'd advice u make very little quantity of whatever you are making for starters so that u don't beat urself up for wasting food if eventually they don't eat much.

I too always get scared when trying a new meal cos my dd is very unpredictable attimes

Have u guys tried august secrets baby foods? most babies love it

hunniesuzie:
Lol. Just made it oh. Dude ate pinchini and vexed
We'll try again tomorrow

Lol
Don't worry.... He'll soon start rushing it
