jazzyjazz:
The boy was happily taking Tom Brown when I first introduced it. But all of a sudden he's not taking it anymore. So I end up throwing it away each time I make it for him.
I'm just look for substitutes right now.

But is it okay to give pureed avocado? Do I add milk after I puree it?

I add a little milk to my pureed avocado sometimes, but either ways...with or without my DD still takes it.
you can add breastmilk too....

Good morning mamas pls help a ft mum here ooo.... Which infant milk is good for a three months old baby? Pls mamas help

my LO has been on 'SMA Gold' and we have no issues with it.

ciscamustexcel:
Sabi mamas in the house pls oh my exclusively breast fed son has been struggling to poop for the last 2days now and he passes out heavy gas all the time like hubby will call him the master blaster. I even opened his anus and put rub inside yet he still refuse to poop and he pushes like someone in labour. Though I have not taken any fruits for the last 2days too sha. Could that be the cause or is he trying to gain weight[color=#006600][/color]

I'd say leave him and stop putting anything in his anus.
Not all babies poop everyday...

My DD doesn't poop everyday, she could go 6 days, 4 days , 2 days without pooping but she is healthy.
Just take note of the consistency of the poop to be sure he/she isnt constipated. (You can check babycentre.com for more info on baby poop)

Watch what you eat, cos ur on EBF. Take fruits and vegetables, lots of water will help you too.

ftmum:
Good morning experience mother's
I'm here again oooo.
I need your help and advice.
My two weeks old and some days baby would not just sleep in the night. Like starting from 10pm till like 4am.....he won't sleep, he would be crying. When I breastfed him, he would do as if he is sleeping but once I put him to bed, he start to cry . I can rock him for hours. He won't blink an eye. He can breastfeed like 2 hours at a go.
Its frustrating. I hope someone can relate with what I'm saying. Please what can I do.
I thought new born will just eat and sleep.
And also the way his nose sounds like someone that has catarrh but nothing is coming out from the nose oooo.
I need help. HELP A FIRST TIME MUM

from experience, the noisy nose thingy was normal for my DD...
It goes away with time.

Are you sure he is getting enough milk?
Try expressing into a bottle and feed him, let's see if that works.

Take it easy on yourself dear, you''ll be fine.
kisses to your LO

@roseval

for pear and apple puree, you have to peel off the skin, and then boil in little water first before blending.

For avocado, you can just go ahead and mash without cooking.

Akorkor:
For mama asking for tom brown preparation again, please see below:
Tom brown is a perfect food to wean your baby with, tom brown is nutritious and filling. A lot of Mamalettes often ask questions about where they can buy Tom Brown mix in Nigeria. But rather than buy Tom brown, why not make it yourself at home? Below is a step by step guide on how to make your own Tom Brown mix from scratch.

What makes up Tom brown mix is a mixture of cereals (yellow corn, guinea corn and millet) and legumes (soybeans and groundnuts). The cereals and legumes add a variety of nutrients beneficial to baby's good health to the meal.

What you need:

Millet
Guinea corn
Yellow corn
Soybeans
Groundnut
How to prepare:

1. Buy dried corn from the market, then roast it on fire until its turn brown and just before it starts popping like popcorn, remove it, leave to cool ( You can fry the two different types of corn together).
2. Fry your groundnut (1 Derica is okay depending on how much cereals you're using)
3. Fry the millet and the soya bean. You have to fry everything separately
4. After frying the soya beans, grind softly with mortal and pestle to remove the shaft, blow the shaft away with your mouth
5. Leave everything to cool
6. Combine all the ingredients together, if you have a high powered blender you can blend the mixture with your blender but if not, take it to the local mill to blend. The mixture should be blended dry (o not add water!)
7. Your Tom Brown mixture is ready! Pour it inside a dry container and prepare it

Method of preparing Tom Brown porridge

It's one thing to make the powder, it's another to know how to prepare it so it doesn't turn out lumpy, the key to achieving a silky smooth porridge is to stir it constantly especially at the beginning of the cooking just like semo).
Place a small pot on fire, pour small water into it, then make a thick mix of tom brown and pour it into the pot
Using a turning stick, turn till there's no lump in the mixture
Continue turning it until it becomes thick like a custard and looks cooked
The fire should be on a medium heat, cook for about 7 minutes until it becomes firm, cooked and smooth.
You can serve with baby milk or breast milk.

Gud evening mama's, finally we are six month after doing exclusive bobo refuse to take anything apart frm breast. Pls come to my aid wat should i do.
Cc liftedhand, realdentist, Gaily...y04, iomo...ge2, zayn...ie and all other sabi mama's.

Na here the real work dey start...
I'd say start with pureed fruits (avocado, apple, pear, banana etc) and see how ur LO takes it...and then gradually introduce other pureed foods.

If u sabi sing well, just compose one 'feeding album' and use it to ginger ur LO to eat.
Not easy but with time, they'll come around.

Giddyperson:
I just bought the panda paracetamol syrup and the recommended dosage starts at 3 months-1 year. Is there another one I should have bought cuz my baby is six weeks old.
Cc Za..ynie, Hunnie..suzzie, Jazzy..jazz, everybody

Nna mehn....I read that dosage thing too o,
but the immunisation pain just made me close eye and give her 'nwantiti' (very small)..
Not even up to the recommended dose.... n she was good.

AbbynHummy:
Dats the only meal she is taking aside breast milk?

I'm guessing ur dd isn't up to 6 months....
U know she still needs her regular milk intake asides whatever new food u r introducing to her ryt?

olamitie:
thanks for the response @enque @rofemiguwa
Did that today and it worked out fine *kiss*7
Yes I changed diaper @hunniesuzie, just want to try Huggies dry comfort

Cool..

AbbynHummy:
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.

Mama I think 2-3 is much..
Once a day is fine.... Or 3-4 times in a week.
Give her water well.... She has started solids.

ciscamustexcel:
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.

Nne takeirieazy!

Newmercies:
Pls mums, what will i do?, my 1month & ten days' baby is having constipation and always cry painflully while deaficating As I said in my previous post that iam not breastfeeding but with baby formular (NAN 1) pls what do I do to make his poo soft and without pain .

Try going a scoop less on the formula and see if that works...
Since ur LO is on formula, u can give little warm water at intervals, in between feeds.

olamitie:
Good evening. For those using baby formulae do you make it and put in the warmer? Or they make it in the creche? Don't know if I can just prepare like three bottles and put in the warmer
Secondly what causes skin on babies bum to peel?

I bought those 2 bowls in the pic below.
I use the transparent one for formula and the white one for cereal (from 6 months).

I measure out the scoops of milk she takes into the corresponding number of feeds for each day. Example, assuming she eats 120ml, 3 times while I'm away... Then I'll measure 4 scoops into 3 different bowls.

I boil hot water n put in her flask n also put 1 bottled water in her bag for diluting hot water.

I instruct the nanny on how many Mls of water Dt shld b used to mix her milk... Also if for any reason, u increase her feed, make sure u let d nanny know.

I pack 5 feeding bottles (4 for milk and a small one for water).
