Mamas pls i need suggestions again on what to feed my baby, I'm confused and lost...we will be 7 months on sunday and i want him to start taking proper food not just pap and mixagrain.. i cant find the baby okro soup recipe and how do I prepare potatoes for him? What do i add to it pls? Thanks

my okro recipe - Okro+ewedu+ blended crayfish+deboned titus or chicken+ little palm oil
I simply blend the okro and ewedu after slicing..
put the mix on fire and add the crayfish, deboned titus fish or chicken and palm oil.
Allow it to cook for a while.

Potatoes - I do mashed sweet potato
sweet potato+blended crayfish+ titus fish or chicken+ onions+ olive oil or coconut oil

peel and wash sweet potato
dice and put in a pot with enough water to cook it.
while it is cooking add crayfish, onions, coconut oil or olive oil, titus fish or chicken to it.
Let it cook to a very soft texture so that ur LO can swallow (if u want to give him mashed)
U can blend it to a very fine puree and serve.

Pls be careful when deboning the fish cos of all those tiny tiny bones that can hide in the middle.
Sometimes I use chicken instead of fish
For emergency, when i don't have fish or chicken readily available, I use august secrets blended fish to cook her meals
U can use irish potatoes instead of sweet for variety
U can also cook plantain for him using the sweet potato recipe
U can prepare mixagrain or nuttymeal as swallow (same way u make semo) and use it to serve the okro soup

feel free to ask questions if any

Happy birthday to baby Fedora

Start with little liquid in the cup and you can offer her from your cup. Watch the position of the tip of the cup, make sure it's positioned well on the tip. It may take a while for her to master it because they are used to moving both lips in sucking reflex while taking liquid.
I really don't do sippy cup. The older ones didn't like it so I started giving them water with plastic bottles, my own cup then I started giving them in small cups. By 1 yr, they can hold the cups and drink water without help.

Thanks Ma

Biko I want ask kweshion
How do I 'cup train' my dd

We hv been trying but half of whatever we r drinking ends up on her bib.

2 days ago it was anus. Today is vagina. Someone will not have hypertension on top the stuff she sees in this place

Ambient I can't say I understand how you feel, the doctors haven't said anything at all? I won't recommend trado care sha but like I said earlier, I have no clue how to advise in this case. Praying for divine healing for your baby

Enque and Giddyperson hope your girls get well soon. It is well

Burntcoal give her the multivitamin and disregard the rest just to pacify MIL. keep the paracetamol for immunization days. That's when you'll need it. If MIL isn't there don't bother giving her any meds so far she's feeding well with no health issues

Thanks

helovesme:
my dear, i have just been shaking my head on all the things i have been reading.

if I say what's on my mind, they will say I have come again.

Giddyperson
please take your baby to the hospital ASAP. sepsis is a life threatening condition that needs to be taken seriously and treated urgently.
I am surprised the hospital sent you home. they should have kept you at the hospital for at least 24 hours to monitor your baby.

enque
please next time, give your child 'baby ibruofen;. (neurofen)
it brings the fever down in record time compared to paracetamol and it avoids situations such as convulsion/seizures.
as soon as the fever reduces, then take the child to the hospital.

cc. all mums
always have a bottle of baby ibruofen (neurofen) in your first aid kit.

fever in children should never be taken lightly and can be due to so many reasons such as immunisation and infection.

once the fever is hovering 37-38degrees and paracetamol isn't working, please use neurofen.
neurofen will bring down the temperature hence preventing a seizure/convulsion (I am speaking from personal experience and also advice I received from experienced health professionals)

it is an over the counter medication that can be used for babies from 3 months.

it can actually be used interchangeably with paracetamol (every 4 hours) for kids older than 12 months.

for kids below 12months with any symptoms of illness, take them to the hospital that same day - worst case scenario, first thing in the morning.

older than 12 months - monitor for 12 hours (max 24 hours) and then take them to the hospital.

with children, the earlier they are treated, the better as things can go from bad to worse very quickly.

Wow...
Didn't know babies cld take ibuprofen.
Had to keep giving paracetamol every 3 hours but then deep down in my heart I felt it wasn't working.

Will buy it ASAP.
Thanks

Giddyperson:
She doesn't even want to suck at all. She took little pap before which she's just thrown up. Can I boil an egg and give her the yolk cuz I'm running out of ideas here.

Yeah u can

Giddyperson:
My baby has not let me put her down since yesterday and her temperature is out of this world. She's heavy, my back aches. They ran tests at the hospital and said malaria and sepsis. They sha gave us medicine to take home. Now she has added loss of appetite and throwing up to her other symptoms. Seems it's back to the hospital again. A mum is tired

This was me all thru last week
Her temperature got to 39.8...was moping her body with tap water and the water was getting warm. Got to the hospital and they ran tests and said it was malaria and her white blood cells count was high (Dr said her body is fighting an infection).
We were given antimalaria and antibiotics. She refused eating anything with milk and and only wanted to be backed. My mum had to ask me to bring her over so she cld take care of her personally.

She is fine now...we are trying to regain her lost weight and her appetite is gradually returning.
It was really stressful but thank God.

Hang in there... Give her her drugs as prescribed and she ll b fine. Ask for help in taking care of her if necessary.

Take care

Graciouscharis:
In addition to other suggestions, you can try oats, rice and pounded plantain

I've never tried pounded plantain o...
Nice idea.

Will try it next

Saw this and thought to share

ambient:
Thanks everyone am still at same hospital they brought in a doctor that have been following the case and he requested for a lumber puncture for his spinal fluid....he had a total if seven seizures.... Still praying.

U n ur LO r in my prayers...God will heal him totally. Amen

Giddyperson:
Even the name sef is not encouraging

Lol..
I used mine to fry akara once...

hunniesuzie:
Me I tasted it and I couldn't blame him honestly. Yuck!
He was even very hungry but he was still shaking his head and crying. I had to quickly make cerelac, if you see him gulping the cerelac and crying cos I was trying to cool the cerelac so I was slow in feeding him. Felt so bad

Giddyperson fele is soft/fluffy/light

I just even threw away the one I got since July today.. Tried like thrice but it was a no no...
Funny tho...d day DH n I were eating our normal beans and plantain, she was throwing tantrums...we kukuma gave her and she loved it.

So I wonder...if she cld eat Dt, y she no want d veggie beans.
I don give up jor

BritneyStacy:
I misss this place! !!!
Well done mamas!

Helloooo
How are ur babies?

Giddyperson:
what is fe le.

ok thanks

Fe le shld mean soft

hunniesuzie:
Try it with some formula or use apple puree to sweeten it. You can also make it into a shake and see if she drinks it. The mixagrain has that sweet vanilla-ish scent, maybe that's why.

It's the veggie beans that my son spat in my face this afternoon. He loves the other 2

what's with babies not liking Dt veggie beans sef?

Giddyperson:
Is there a special way for making Eba for babies. Also can I make that nuttymeal like semo and serve with soup

I use my Nuttymeal and mixagrain for her swallow. I make it like semo.

Naomi14:
