Personally, I won't give my 7 months prince milo or juice.
Milo is extra sugar and not essential for a 6mth old. Perhaps try something healthier as a sweet alternative,like some pureed strawberries, banana, apple, pear etc, stirred into the formula/breast milk
Thank you Charmybliz

Stick with formula, cereal, fruit purees and vegies for now.
Thanks for the response bosslady but basically what adult foods can he take?

My baby takes similac advance so that's the measurement of her scoop, 1scoop of formula wl make 60ml of water,im sure ur scoop is half d size of mine which is not out of the norm as all formulas do not have d same scoop,iv posted this pics before,im posting it again for u to see the size of my scoop.
As for d ratio of formula to cereal, if Ure giving him cow n gate cereal lyk u mentioned in ur previous post, remember that it already contains milk? The cereal is not meant to replace his formula of course so what I do is...let's say my LO takes six bottles in a day, I feed her cereal twice, one jar of food, and den three bottles of formula. I'll try to look for d website instructions on cereal preparation den post to u.
And of course,if u feel the need to add more formula to ur cereal preparation, go along with ur motherly instincts, milk can never be too much
o
Yea, av seen the scoop now. Mine is half of that so we are really saying the same thing. The cow and gate rice dosent contain milk cos it says one should add milk. Thanks a lot mimzy.

Fexcathy, Oh gud. My girl takes 180ml too, for every one scoop of formula ,i add two scoops of cereal. 1:2 . Lyk if I Wana prepare only formula for her, three scoops wl gv me 180ml so If it's cereal with formula,i put one very full scoop of formula ,den two level scoops of cereal
Kinda confused o! D scoop u r talking abt is it a spoon u use or d scoop that comes with d formula. One scoop is for 30ml of water so 180ml of water is 6scoops. That's what's on my baby's cow and gate instructns plus I to that d formula shud be more dan d cereal or am I wrong?

Good morning moms! My baby is 5months now and she has been having recurring cough and carther. We've been to d doctor. They gave us cough and carther syrup. We completed d dosage a few days ago and its subsided for just 2days. Now the cough and carther is back again. What could be d cause?. I also don expose her to cold too. My mum was suggesting I get her antibiotics. Is it safe? Would antibiotics work for it?
Since you have used the drugs and it didnt work, you should jus let it be. It wud pass on its own. Breastfeed more often, use metholatum on chest, hands and feet, steam baths too as my paed would say.

Which Gerber r u talkin bou,the one in the plastic or d paper pack,d one in d pack contains milk and its equivalent to cow n gate while d one in d plastic doesn't contain milk. They r both gud,depends on ur LOs preference. I buy a mix of cow n gate, Gerber n two others so she doesn't get too used to one brand incase of unavailability. Goodluck wink
Actually this is the first time am seeing that paper pack own o! That means its unavailable in my location (warri). I also saw cow and gate rice cereal for the first time yesterday. Didnt know they had a rice cereal.

Gud day my fellow mamas,pls I hv not seen my period sinc 5th of april I gave birth to my twins tru cS. Am afraid to kpekus wit DH cos of dat to avoid stories dat touch. Pls mamas am I free to kpekus sinc I hv not seen my period yet? What shuld I do to start seeing my period? Pls mamas I need ur answers
You really dont need to do anything to start seeeing ur period. Some women dont see their period while breastfeeding until they stop and for some others, d cycle would be very irregular. So to really avoid stories that touch, u av to take precautions.

Hello vigilante Mamas, my LO is a month old but strains n grunts each tym he sleeps, dis gives me so much concern. Dnt knw wat to do? Anyone wit d same exp?
Secondly what kind of food can I eat to boost my breastmilk supply? Tnks for prompt response.
Dont worry, its just a phase that will surely pass. The gripe water you are giving him isnt necessary as it wont work. I know its not easy but jus try and wait it out. As for foods that wil boost ur breastmilk supply, u can eat pounded yam, beans, amala and ewedu, hot pap, hot tea. Palmwine helps a lot too.

Please has anyone use Tommy tippee manual breast pump before? Did it pump well? I'm worried because I tried expressing today n it only filled the bottom of the storage container which is very small. Someone told me me avent manual is better though she hasn't use Tommy tippee before.

I expressed after breastfeeding my son and I'm now worried that maybe I'm not producing enough (though my baby suckles and sleeps well when he's filled up). Please help a first time mum.
I use Tommie Tipee manual pump and I express 120ml to 150ml. It pumps well for me.

Gud morning mums', pls mothers using tomme tippe feeding bottle is it true d teat mimics breast? Before I go waste money again, tx
Tommie Tipee products are so so good. Its very truethat the teat mimics breast plus its also anti-colic too. Thats what I use for my LO and the way he plays with breast is d same way he does when sucking on d bottle.
