@enque please respond o cos i bought the supported sitter one for 2300 at Globus in Ago.

Naomi14 how much them dey sell for una side? Where for iba/Lasu you dey stay? I used to live at iyano-school. Still frequent there cos my mom has a shop in iyano school. My elder sis and three uncles also live there. Attended Command.

na ago i buy am, it was scarce sometime in august and no shop around me had so i send my sis to get it at globus. Mine is for sitters tho, dunno if the prices vary.

Tank u ma'am..I jst read back now nd got ans to my question.

I want to start giving her the cereals from today that's why I was asking about prep method. I have attached a pix of the storage cups I got. This one has 3 containers but I saw the one that has 5 containers yesterday so I'm going to buy that one today.

On the food ish, ordinarily my Lo finishes 150mls or 180mls when she is very hungry but this is when she is really hungry. Other times,it ranges from 60-120mls depending on her mood. I have already gauged and I know what mls she will finish at what point in time and I also supplement with breast milk. Now I don't know how to explain to the creche that she may not finish 150mls at a go cos if they keep making 150mls and she does not finish It, food is wasting ni yen.

Secondly, the woman at the creche says they spoonfeed them formular so that they can control the feeding, that if they use bottle, the child controls the feedingand may decide not to eat. My mom can around yesterday and tried to spoonfeed LO her formular. You know those style of putting the milk in the baby's mouth once she opens it to cry, ehn ehn, That style. I was not comfortable with it so I asked her to stop (my mom bring who she is did not even listen to me). Please is that really how babies are fed? Seems like an infringement of their rights ..but really really, should I be worried about feeding her with spoon? She will be 4months the day she starts creche.

the only thing my baby takes in a feeding bottle is formular, every other liquid is done via cup....she is waay older than urs anyways. I don't like spoonfeeding formular because I am not that patient, but if the creche says that's how they want to feed her, u should discuss ur reservation about spoonfeeding with them and they can make an exception for ur baby.

since she does 60-120ml on the average, they can make say 90-100mls and watch how she takes it. but then again, babies have moods and that determins what quantity of food they will take. example, my babby will eat more when she wakes from sleep than when she has been active, its like sleep triggers her hunger.

u can buy the 5 containers, u'll need it more for when she starts proper cereals.

most cereals have the same prep method - pour out cereal, add milk and then water. I guess gerber should be same.

AlphaHandMaiden:
That is not the mind set to have,
it is like a story i was once told.

A man was having a party, and asked all the invitees to bring a bottle of wine, when they come in they should empty the wine into a big drum, from which all would take from when the party begins.

So one man thought: I wont waste my money and bring wine, since we are going to pour it into a drum, i will bring water instead, one bottle of water in a big drum of wine will not be noticed.

So on the day he filled his empty wine bottle with water, sealed it up and went for the party. the stewards showed him to where the drum was, and then he poured his water into the drum.

when it was time to eat and drink the stewards brought the feast and the drum for everyone to drink........

poured the drink in the glasses and served the guest..... low and behold it was Just Water, every one started carrying face, and the host told them, well it is what you put in, you got out.

Every single one of the guest thought exactly like the man. "I will bring water and just one bottle will not dilute a whole drum of wine to be noticeable".

If you think like that, do not kid your self you are the only one! that few photocopies could be like a few million!

There are millions of people in nigeria yes, not alot of people can afford the 8K that the book is costed at. of that millions of people, there only a few million that will be able to buy the book and only maybe a few thousand that will actually buy it. Please let her reap the fruits of her labours biko!

Baby food is not rocket science, so If you are not innovative enough to make heallthy meals for your kid, do not spoil another person's business. bear in mind that she has cost associated with the book to pay, abi you think the pictures in the book were taken for free, or the publishers printed it for free. Do unto others what you want done unto you. if it was your business, will you not be using Sango to swear for people doing photocopy.

There are also millions of free recipes online that you can use , even here on NL, there are also hundreds of recipes people have shared at various times, there is even a thread for baby food recipes, all done by nigerians so you cant even say oh the recipe is onyibo oh and called for shallots, swede and butternut squash, that is why you cannot make it.

word!!

Giddyperson:
Oh this is the exact one that makes my baby's poop green. I can see another one thats partly hidden in the lower cabinet, it looks like its just oatmeal, can u show me that one plssssssssssssssss. You have so many tins lined up, Jesus. Thats's like looking into my future, and mine would be empty tins of August secrets.

Aunty, na supermarket rack i snap oo
That one below is just plain oatmeal for supported sitters. Most of the oatmeal for sitters has something in addition to it, cos I searched for plain oatmeal tire but i no see.

There's another one I saw oatmeal+sweet potato, but was hesitant to buy cos I wasn't sure how it'd taste.

I have so much August secrets empty 'kom-kom' in my house eh, that I have started converting them to maggi, crayfish, drypepper and maggi containers.

Giddyperson:
This Gerber oats of which you speak, is it just oats in it and nothing else, I might be interested in that. Also please confirm that the way to make apple puree is to cook the apple then blend

See pix of oats below..
I peel the back of the apple and remove the seeds inside. I steam with little water to 3mins and blend... Shikena


Some people use regular oats but u have to blend it to a smooth texture before cooking it for ur lo

It's our month o

spiceeamiee:
Mamas please answer my call o. Monday is here already and I don't want to miss anything. Tanks a bunch!

I don't use gerber rice, I use greber oats... I have a mental calculation of how much my lo takes i.e. 4-5 tables spoons. I measure out and add 200mls of milk, and that's it. SO, if there's no instructions, u may hv to use ur discretion.
I've done some posts on my creche modus operandi, will look bk n tag u...I gat 0 strength to start retyping now.

How old is ur LO? I started fruit purees at 6 months, some people start at 4mts tho

u may need to upload a pix of the bowls u got, so we know wat we r advicing based on.

Hve u tried giving her any of these cereals/foods at home? I always try out new meals at home first b4 packing for creche, so i can see her reaction and that helps me know what she likes/doesnt like and guage what quantity she can finish, to avoid waste

jazzyjazz:
We just started creche last week and this is what I do
I have a medium sized flask for his hot water. Then I put a big bottle of Eva water (this is to use to dilute the hot water and it also serves as his drinking water.

I instruct them not to wash any of his utensils but they said they can't give me dirty plates.

So, I calculate his feeds. Since cereal is all my son likes to eat, and I feed him every 3 hours, I calculate from 8 am to 5pm. How many times will he eat and how many scoops per feed.

I have a small flask, I mix his cereal with his milk so all they need to do is fetch the quantity he eats and then mix with water.
I equally put about 4 feeding bottles, 4 mins and 4 mini handkerchiefs. 4 plates and 4 spoons.

I always feed him before dropping him off

I also put 2 extra body suits, 1 extra pair of trouser (sometimes I put 2) and 1 extra pair of shirt

Reason for the extra clothes is 1. If he gets stained with poop, he can be changed into clean clothes. 2. The creche usually clean him up with wipes, change his clothes and comb his hair before I pick him up. So by the time I get there, he's clean and smelling fresh.

His bag is usually quite heavy but I prefer it that way. Also the creche is very close to my house so I don't have issues with the big bag

Welcome to the club
Her nanny even nicknamed us 'gbogbo big bags'

Ammy5565:

Cc enque,zaynie,hunniesuzie,akorkor.. thanks

no

kelizosuy:
no one answered me

r u sure she has catarrh, cos my dd used to breathe like her nose was blocked while sucking, but it turned out that it was just one of those things. it wasnt blocked nose or anything of that soort

Giddyperson:
Thanks, I wanted to try one of the nutribom that was recommended for me here but my sis went and bought the rice cereal mistakenly. That thing is horrible, I dont think any baby would ever like it. Anyway, Is there a special reason you are recommending nutribom and which of the cereals do you think I should try. I need one that's not sweet

Noticed u've mentioned most brands except nutribom, or maybe i missed it.
we've tried all nutriboms flavours...the least sweet is the oats.
have u tried giving her regular oats (blended) since she isn't a sweet tooth

mydreams25:
Good afternoon mothers, pls I need advice from experienced people. Here goes my story.
Am a mother of two( first is almost 3years, second is almost 7months). I don't have a job, been seriously looking for one that is family friendly but haven't gotten, my dh has someone that can help me with a banking job but we are both afraid of how to cope with it and the kids but the present economic situation is not smiling now. I don't have any help I, my dh and 2children stay alone but my parents reside in the same state with us ( Ilorin to be precise). My question now is those that have worked in a bank or working in a bank without any help, pls how do you cope? I don't have any experience with banking job but I do hear its very stressful for family women but if I have reasons to back it up I will rethink.
Let me add that my dh's job too is demanding and closes 6:30pm almost everyday. So pls should I go for this job or keep waiting for better one if yes pls I need advice on how to manage my home with it. Pls I need a reply based on experience.
Thanks n anticipation

why do i feel like no job outside lag can be as stressful as that within lagos.
Take the job, resignation is an option.
