Good morning mothers.
Please I need your insight on this issue, my baby of six months just started taking pap. We are on the second tin of formula now, and I noticed that for some days now, she poops while eating, it's normally when she is almost full and it's a bit watery.. I don't know if I need to worry or go to the hospital. It happens at every feed.

Maybe her tummy just feels very full and she needs relieve. It's normal.Definitely not something to go to hospital over.

He can eat it like that, just don't give him too much or more than once a day. make it beans and yam or beans and fried plantain.

Good morning mothers. My wife looks too disturbed. How do I help her?
Our first baby girl turned 6 months, nine days ago. She was on exclusive through out (not even water was given to her). After the exclusive wahala, we decided to introduce soya bean meal, prepared with groundnut, and crayfish. She'll just taste it and then close her mouth. Completely refusing to let another one touch her tongue. We may have allowed her taste ice cream and other things, of which she rejects. But she agreed to take normal tea.

Now the main issue: three days ago, she just started throwing up, drooling, temperature increased, she never smiled again like before. We got bonababe syrup, emzolyte for hydration. She has stopped throwing up but still stools watery stool like every 2 to 3 hours. We observed that about 8 teeth are trying to shoot out. She hardly closes her mouth. Yesterday, my wife drew my attention to her down side peeling off (becoming reddish) . This morning, the redness has increased to the bombom. (she said its jedijedi). All these complications is just within 3 days.

Advice please. Thanks

How's your baby doing now? You guys should be more careful in future biko. To me, Ice cream and tea is a no until the baby is at least two. Try giving her home-made pureed foods, like Irish potatoes, Nigerian rice, even eba. Also you can mix your soya in pap and search nairaland through Google, for baby food ideas. Even bonababe sef is a no, let her teeth in piece.

Good evening moms, please any idea on how to wean my baby, she stopped eating any other food apart from breast milk and i was told its because she sees breast milk as substitute.

She would be a year two months, by feb ending, what makes it more difficult is the fact that we're always together.

I planned on stopping today but her cries couldn't let me.

Experienced mums, how do I go about it?

You just have to endure the cries. Find a food she likes a bit, even if she takes just two spoons of it. The longer you withhold the breastmilk, the more spoons she'll start accepting, and she'll gradually start accepting other foods too. Just dedicate three days for crying, sleepless night and breast pain , at the end of day 3, you'll be on the road to recovery. If you keep pitying her and giving in, she's just going to get smarter and more dependent on breastmilk.

Graciouslara:
Good morning mamas in the house, please what can I give my 1month old baby her tummy do make noise, and she use to stretch before she fart or poo and that always disturb her sleep, she like sucking even if her tummy is full.

Make sure you're holding the bottle properly when bottle feeding her so she doesn't gulp in a lot of air. Just google how to and look at the pictures. Also you don't need to give her anything, its normal for babies and will pass as she grows

Mamas in the house I need help biko nu..... My 2months old baby has been seriously coughing and also has a running nose. Have taken her to the hospital and doctor prescribed cough syrup 2.5mil morning and night but she has taken it for three days now no improvement. Don't know what else to do. Please help a worried mum.

Cough syrup? Maybe the doctor didn't really believe she has serious cough cuz these babies can do all the coughing at home then get to the hospital and act like they're good. Children's cough syrup hardly changes anything. Take her to the hospital and tell them you want to run test for infection, if it comes out positive, they would prescribe the appropriate drugs, if it's negative, you'd just have to keep her away from fan/AC, do occasional steam inhalation and warm massages until it stops.

Rocktation:
I have a quick question, mamas. What would you have appreciated that someone brought for you at the hospital, immediately after you gave birth? Someone you're not so close to, so peppersoup is not exactly an option and all those diapers and baby clothes na long tins?

Cash for the baby has always been my favorite gift from not-so-close people.

Nyxx123:
Experienced Mamas pls I need your advice, for mothers that exclusively fed their babies, did you find it difficult introducing formular milk or pap to your babies, because my DD is refusing to take any. Pls I need suggestions on how to go about this. I need to get a food she can easily take beside breast milk, as she will be enrolled in crèche in a couple of weeks.
Pls don't waka and pass.

How long do I need to keep trying before I try something else
Meanwhile Mamas please what is this Tommy brown(don't know if I spelt it well sha) I see all the time

It's tough to introduce anything else most of the time. Just keep feeding her pap and formular between meals so that she keeps getting used to the taste even if she's not eating much. For most babies, once they're in creche and you and your breast are nowhere in sight, they will hungrily drink all their pap or formular with no issues.

Goodevening everyone. Am a ftm although my baby is 16mths ��. My bone of contention is this, my baby has been taking golden morn since he was 9mths old. Although now i try to limit it to breakfast or mid morning brunch or sth i give to him when wr are in a public place. I was recently told GM is not suitable for infants younger than 3yrs(didn't know).
I tried giving him pap ge rejected it, oatmeal he rejected it too. Right now am stuck i want to stop giving him GM but i neef suggestions for alternative cereal for his age.
PS he is already eating adult food, he enjoys it too i just want an alternative for him.

Why can't you give him cerelac or any other baby cereal? There are thousands of baby cereal out there. Cerelac, nutribom, Gerber, etc. Try them one at a time and he'd definitely like one of them, start with cerelac cuz it's closest to Golden morn.

jazzyjazz:
How old are the twins?
Why not wait till they are fully dependent on solids before you begin to worry about the way your stomach looks? You carried twins for 9months! It's not easy! Even us that have singletons have big stomach too.

Please relax for now, let the twins start depending on solids then you can begin diet and exercise.

Relax ke. That's how people end up with everlasting pot belly.

Pweetiebabe:
Thanks mama, infact hubby don give me my answer that na me dey think say am smaller but I already look like trailer and am walking as if my jajaina dey on fire, infact I dey plan the kind purnishment to give DAT man, no browsing of my website for d next 1month

Lol, can you not chose a punishment that doesn't involve punishing yourself

Pweetiebabe:
Happy Sunday Belleful mamas, how are we this hot Sunday afteroon?

Pls I have a very funny kweshion o especially for d after 2 upwards that are still forming slay mamas, and nobody shd laugh @ me or else I will call my cappo for u.
I tot I heard/read that subsisquent pregnancy bump are always bigger than d 1st? But me am not sure dis is d case with me o(though I don't remember how big I was ard dis time with my 1st pregnancy) but I am assuming I was bigger that this, though I know am carrying this baby low compare to d 1st and am Also bigger/fatter than d 1st(infact my weight now was wot I weigh d week I gave birth with my previous pregnancy)... I have no issues infact baby was measuring 1week ahead during my 20weeks scan 5weeks ago(around 75-80percentile) even d sonographer keep asking if it was my 1st cos tommy no big @ all, she's super active in here that u don't need anyone to remind u that u are having a temporary visitor there DAT will be evacuated in 13weeks time. So Can sex of d baby, mother size and how she's carrying determine d size of d bump?

It's different for everyone I guess. I was bigger with the second pregnancy but I know at least two people that were smaller second time around.

MzBertty:
Am a ftm, what food do you recommend for a baby of 3 months

All the baby needs now is breastmilk and formula. If you're struggling to afford milk, you can wait until he's 4 months, and start giving occasional pap. The pap doesn't contain most nutrients needed by the baby so don't start feeding him only pap, still breastfeed and give formula alingside. At 5-6 months, you can start giving him softer versions of what you eat (not indomie or junk foods o). Be patient, you're almost there. More grease to your elbow.

Nimi22:
Good days mothers. It's been long I came in here, please I have a problem. How do I manage reflux in my 7 weeks old baby? I feed him in bits and burp him but before the belch comes out the milk comes out. I've tried sitting him upright in a position for long also but it doesn't seem to work. Please if you experienced this how else did you manage it? It's getting to my nerves. Thanks

Congrats o, mama bomboy. How did I miss your BA? You've already tried everything I'd have suggested, maybe its something he'd outgrow as his tummy gets bigger.

GoodMum:
Hello Giddyperson
How u dey? Quite a while.

I'm fine, thanks for asking. How are you and your princess?

Iyamefa:
Thanks for the advise. It’s so hard to watch her cry honestly but I have to be brave

I honestly can't relate when mums say this. You people have energy. As long as I know a baby is fed, dry and well, it's just really annoying watching them cry. It's always their dad that saves and spoils them these days There's a time for carry-carry, but when I have things to do I have things to do biko. And trust me it works, right now I'm typing away on my laptop and my son is in his playpen watching TV. This could not have been possible last year when I used to let him whine me with fake cry.

Mumaraoluwa:
Please which milk is best for a year and 4 months old. Thanks

Once they turn a year old, I use peak or Dano full cream milk, the same one the entire household uses. It's safe for them from 12 months. But if u want one specifically made for babies, then there's no way of saying which brand is the best. Just buy the one that is marked 1+ year.

Many people have said peak 123 purged their baby tho, so you may want to avoid that one.

NIFES:
Hello dear mamas, happy Sunday to us all.
Please I need your advice on what to give to my daughter for cold and runny nose that has refused to go for almost a month now.
We have had to go to the hospital cos of this; taken antibiotics and 2 bottles of vitamin c but the runny/blocked nose still comes and goes. It may appear to have cleared in the morning when she just wakes up but before midday it will start again. Because of her we hardly us AC/fan to sleep again or anywhere around her.
It's getting me worried.
My experienced mothers please advice
c
Thank you.

GB has had the same thing since December. I think it's the harmattan so I'm just waiting for it to pass. I notice the nose starts running as soon as we are out of the house for school in the morning, then stops when the weather warms up. Also starts when we use fan. She even has cough too. I gave antibiotics when it started in Decmber, since that time its occassional Vit. C up until now. The day it stops you won't even notice, probably when harmattan stops coming back. No more antibiotics biko, try home remedies, and keeping her away from window air at night.

Fyngal1:
how is you and the entire clan? long time

All alive. Happy new year, how are you guys?

Saltwater:
Good p.m Sabi mamas, I need advice from experienced mamas.

It's been less than 2 weeks after my baby is born. Breastmilk is slow, so we resorted to formula. Now, my baby is having a hard time passing poop. It comes out in small small lumps.

What can be done to increase milk production?
How do we help soften her stool? Is it safe to add glucose to her formula (heard glucose water help soften stool.)

Sos please

Make sure she's taking enough water else she can't escape constipation

Iyamefa:
Hi Mamas, long time!
My baby is almost 9 months old now and starting to have separation anxiety. All she sees is me, I must carry her everywhere, drop her down, screams. Anyone else carries her, screams. She wakes up at night after a feed for no reason. Stands up frm her bed and starts crossing over to my side of the bed because she’d rather sleep in my arms. We still breastfeed so it’s even worse. She hates formula and adores the breast! My mat leave would soon be over and I’ll be going back to work. Not sure how to cope. Any advise is appreciated

Wow 9 months maternity leave. You should be glad it's almost coming to an end so that your baby won't get the chance to learn the gumbody she's trying to learn in old age. Put her in creche, she'll cry for the first few days then she'd learn to stay on her own.

This is how my son behaves too. When you spend all your time with them they tend to start acting like your Siamese twin.

The only cure to her making you carry her everywhere is to put her down and let her cry. I put my son in his playpen if not he'd still cry and follow me around. Sometimes he gets distracted and plays with other things in the playpen or watches TV. Other times he is ready to cry for thirty mins before I come and carry him. The crying sha reduces after a while if you keep doing it.

Abiolajustified:
Good evening family, please what food can we feed a 15months old baby. Tired of her feeding on nutribom every day and thinking of having a food chart for her since Mama is now ready to eat anything but we still want everything to be balance

My baby is a year old, I'd just list all he's eaten today.

5 am: Nutribom
8 am: Fried potatoes & egg (not really his meal, he joined his dad to eat breakfast)
10 am: Garri and bitterleaf soup. (Insert really long nap)
2pm: Nutribom
5pm: Garri and bitterleaf
8pm: Jollof rice
10pm: August Secrets Nutty meal ( I'm about to give him the nuttymeal now and put him to sleep), he'll wake up by
2am: Nutribom again.

He eats A LOT. He eats everything so we give him everything. He can finish a loaf of bread if you let him, and he likes water a lot.

Long story short, give her everything you eat, not from your plate tho so you can be sure how much she's eating, just avoid bones and plenty pepper in whatever you cook. Put plenty milk in her nutribom. And remember fruits. My son loves bananas and oranges so I buy that a couple of times a week

Follyshowbaby:
This really cracked me up . Don't mind me ma. I'm a ftm and its not been easy. No help, just me alone. It's well

Lol lay him beside you, open your boobs and sleep, whenever he wakes up, he will help himself. You'll enjoy it now because you'll be able to sleep better but in a few months you'll start to hate it too cuz he'd get so used to it that he'll suck all night. But by then you can decide to wean him.

talltosyne:
Absolutely correct..... I remembered before I had Josh then, na ice cream we set use them but now na Greek yoghurt....if you never try this recipe, you are missing.

Nobody should look at me somehow@giddyperson or call me bad Child....


I am just talking from experience

Ok o, lemme start saving up for my own. Do you do opay delivery?

Liftedhands:
You never see chomtin! Is it becos I didn't talk about the other things that yoghurt can be used for also? If oga wants to lick the plate you can apply it there and let him have a treat even on the microphone oga will turn to choir master. Apply it all over and lick away

Yes unsweetened yoghurt is great for yeast infection, apply and also eat some in order to restore the vjay back to it's natural flora.

Debclem:
