. I use haers and it serves me well

franky2013:
gud day mamas, my LO is 13months can i start giving her tea? if yes pls is there a particular tea for kids? tnx

. Yes you can start,i use ovaltine and her milk

FexCathy:
Ok. When nxt I go dere, will get d number for u. Do u stay in warri too?

no, but my sister in law can help me get it, thanks

@mummy2b, if you cannot get cow and gate you can still use others like thrive,nutiben natal milk.
@fexcathy, please if you can get the number of the person you buy from I will be very happy....thanks

Rashomo:
mama in d house, pls i want to know which is better, FRISOGOLD AND THRIVE..I noticed dat thrive has sugar n i dont need to add any to my sugar to my baby gerber cereal., but frisogold does not contain sugar at all.. pls advice me .. thanks a lot

. Both of them are good,but you may try thrive. But hope you do not add sugar to your child's cereal, please cereals do not need additional sugar, they already contain sugar

The aptamil 900g I have here 'millupa' is not written on it, you can snap it and post here. The one I have here is the same as the ine posted earlier.

shndy:
Choi, nobody dy use aptamil here?

. the one they wrote millupa on is it in a can,If yes then that one was made for nigeria children while the other one that comes in 900g was made for UK children but they are both good for use, you can use anyone you lay your hands on

Devosequence:
Pls mama's in the house I need a response to this which milk is best for baby of 13months old

no milk is best, they are all good, just buy the one that your baby can tolerate. For instance Peak 123, nido 1+, sma1-3, aptamil1-3 etc

#youdonmeanit# Adding a margin of N2k to a product costing N3k per item is not too much?

You must be very wealthy oo madam or are you in that business?

Note that baby items are fast moving goods and also get the most waivers and tax exemptions from govts. The major reason why it is insanely expensive in Nigeria is because it is treated as a luxury item.
My dear no be so oh, I am into the business,there is no government waver,we pay heavily to bring the goods especially those without Nigeria's NAFDAC number.do you know nigeria just increased custom charges 11th of June. Things may even go higher. When we buy 3000, maybe we transport 1000 for me I sell 4500 so some others may decide to make a gain of 1000. Watin man go do we need the money, if you can bring it cheaper I don't mind buying from you. Lolz

Kimoni:
That's like N2000 profit, they know their customers are billionaires o

. My dear it is not too much oh,what about transport, custom charges, agents clearing. Then if you use air the charge is even higher, and remember we do business to make profit

@senior beedam ,fexcathy,mummy2be nd phunmielomo,tanx i wil try cow nd gate learnt it makes baby to b fat,my baby is lepa though @2mths he is weighing 5.5kg, bt on breast milk nd water alone.thanx ma's

. My dear no formula makes babies fat, a child who will be fat will be fat and those that do not have fat will never be. Good formulas will only keep them healthy. Cow and gate is a nice brand

The drugs did not affect my daughter in negatively in any way,it is not compulsory but a thing of choice.
Concerning the INDOMIE"
"What is its use"
When a child is moving from cereal to adult meals, you need to start with foods that are very soft for example Sweet potato,ripe plantain,mashed fruits,indomie etc. Almost in every Nigeria home you must find indomie. I personally do not eat indomie,but I have to give my children say once a month,so I am not saying it because I eat it but that may be the love of some children, and now with awareness people make it richer.
So in other for the child to move to adult foods you need very soft meals

If your baby takes milk and take it well,dont bother to much,you can introduce food like indomie,and other adult foods. Then leave the child to be hungry he will also eat
Concerning seven seas I gave my daughter from birth and it worked for us even cod liver oil though it was not priscribed for us in the hospital.

@which milk is Mamil, I have not seen or heard of it before

@frank2013, happy birthday to your princess, many more beautiful years IJNA

@munz, I can't stop laughing, normally cereals improve,we used Nutrend for my cousin about 11years ago and it was not so bad, though I have not used it for my baby, anyway you can use others with your frisogold cereal

FexCathy:
Pls any mama using cow & gate first infant formula, how good is it?

. Cow and gate is a good product

@enioladimeji, or you can get any of the ones prescribed they are all from the same country,the difference between them is not much

enioladimeji:
Good day mamas in the house. How r ur LOs doing? My baby is almost 7months and i introduced Aptamil after breastfeeding exclusively. The problem now is that i couldn't get Aptamil follow-on milk(2) everywhere, so i bought Nan 2 for the meantime. Few days after, he started running temperature with diarrhea. His poop was green with blood. I took him to the hospital where he was admitted for 3 days. Now my husband has searched everywhere for the milk(island, shoprite and all the big stores in my area) but he couldn't get. They all have 1. So we are told to buy either SMA Gold or Cow and gate. I just want to know which one is better. Pls let me know the one ure using.
Thanks

. Do you live in portharcouth? If no. Then you are free to continue with the stage 1,if you can get it since that is what the child is used to,i have a lot of costumers doing it like that,even me I have done it before, because it seems your child likes the aptamil stage 1

@all, I read the article and I say it is true,so true no added ingredients. A friend of mine put to bed in portharcouth recently she told me that when she was in labour with serious pain, she started vomiting and the nurses on duty started shouting at her,another said she was abandoned. So more can happen

@toyosir, it will be tetanus like someone said before, I was given my last does 4 months after putting to bed.

lassbaby:

mydreams25:
Good morning dear mamas. My son will be 3months in 2weeks and am giving him Nan 1. I was surprised when i saw Nan 2&3 in the market because i didnt know they exist. Am worried maybe i should have switched to either of 2 or 3,pls at how many months will a baby starts taking Nan 2&3?

. Nan 2 is for a 6 months old baby, and nan 3 is for a 1 year old baby, so your baby is still supposed to take nan one
