Secondly the poo is kind of greenish, watery and a bit slimy, up to 3tyms a day. Pls is it an alergy from d nan or d cereals or is it teething. I'm confused oo

Pls I hv a question, my baby has been on formula since 2weeks but by nextweek he will clock 5months can I start to give him frisolac rice cereal? because he seems not to like d milk again, pls because I want to give him now. Thanks

Frisolac rice cereals is frm 6months. U can use gerber rice cereals instead or cow and gate creamy poriage or fruity poraige. They can be used from 4months

[quote author=yemstico post=31748138]Gr8fulheart,tom brown is the combination of maize,millet soya milk and groundnut. Its mostly eaten by notherners but its now known by a few here in the south.we use to get from kaduna in those days.
It usually comes in powder for so u can store in a dry container. I make for my baby tho its a tedious exercise bt worth it. You fry your maize in a dry pan,also fry ur groundnut too(u can buy one derica)do same to millet then as for the soya beans fry it first then grind roughly to remove the shaft,blow away the shaft(the shaft is not good for consumption) after that combine all these four ingredients and grind all togeda then store in an air tight container.



I'm gr8fu yemstico. Bt d questn is, dt roasting of maize part, cn I mix d tom brown into freshly prepared ogi? Or is d tom brown to b taken seperately as a paste? Is it to b mixd wit water or formula? Hp a 6months baby cn tk it.

@nita, tnks 4dt detailed corn preparatn mixture.
Pls I want to ask what is tom brown? I hear ppl talking abt it.
Secondly, dt soyabeans, sm say boil and sun dry, some say fry and grind. Biko wich is d real one? Mama, pls answer

Rahmatlawahl I'll pm u pls. Thnks

Nita, thank u ojare

[quote author=Nita2013 post=31441816]It depends on many factor. Medically most paediatrician would tell u 6months for exclusive while few tells u, 4months is ok to start. 6months is mostly adviced because by then d baby's digestive system is very matured and to boost d baby's immune system more cos of d antibodies contained in breastmilk to fight infections and diseases. That's not to say by 4months d baby's digestive system is not matured though but it's more matured at 6months.

If u want to start at 4months, u av to consider the following; is d baby interested in food while u r eatin?, is d baby's neck stable?, can d baby sit assisted? Etc

For me, I started my baby cereal at 4months. Apart from the fact that my answer to d questions above is yes, breastmilk was no longer enough for him. When I feed him, he ll be shoutin in less than 30mins which was unlike him. So a paediatrician adviced I supplement and since then no more cryin.

So my dear, it's not compulsory u start at 4months. If u are producin well and ur baby at 4months is suckin well and gets full after each feed, pls continue till 6months.


Pls what cereals did u start @ 4months pls? D name of d cereal

@My FTMs,
Sisters for a really detailed and educative ANC, General hospitals are the best,they'll tell you what you need to know not just fuss and mollycoddle you so every little thing won't send you to the hospital .
I've done ANC at both a 1st class private hospital(they even do IVF) and a dugbe GH and the GH taught me a lot and you'll meet a lot of other mamas who will share their experiences as well.

Modath,pls I'll send u a pm now.thnks

@lovinam, so wht do I do to stop d tongue sucking.

Lovinam, I dint c d angel of mine oil. 4d johnson oil I was askd to check nxt week. @rezzy, ur own is just thumb. baby sucks both thumb and tongue. I wear hand-mittens on hand but it does not deter instead d hand mitten wil get soaked with spittle. As 4d tongue sucking dt one is done while sliping. Wat do I do? Note I hv bought 3 diff types of pacifiers, all are being rejected and pushed out of the mouth. I yaff tire

Lovinam, thnks a lot. lemme go and find d cream. Splndid weekend 2u

@lovinam and bosslady, big hugs to u. To think I wash d hair morning and evening whn bathing baby. Chai, I don lost tay tay.
Lovinam biko wich one b cream lotion? Wetin b d name gon gon, is it cream lotion dts written on d body. If I no see wat oda alternative cn I use to soften d hair sins its now a weekly shampoo washing? No fezz for d plnty questn

bossladyMo:
Number 1 - Stop washing your baby's hair everyday. Just get a good conditioning shampoo for babies, and wash just once a week. Washing the hair everyday will harden the hair, as it strips it of its natural oils.

Number 2 - Pls don't tell me you just peel the cradle cap from the scalp without softening with oil first....do you? What you should do is apply olive oil generously over the hair, leave for about 15-20mins, then take a fine-toothed comb (picking comb), and gently edge it off the scalp.

Number 3 - The hair loss at the middle of the head is quite normal...I call it 'The Halo' lol. It's because the hair is still tender and pulls off when babies are laid on their back or sides and move their heads from left to right. That's why the top part and lower back doesn't experience it...just the middle that frictions with the bed. It will grow back.

Number 4 -Olive oil is good, but get shea butter. You can mix the shea butter with olive oil or coconut oil.

So far, my daughter's hair is still bouncy and curly...infact over curl dey worry am so tey, it appears short until you comb it out. I wash her hair just once a week, and use shea butter + olive oil. She also had cradle cap, but it is gone now, and no patches. She has the halo also, but it is not bad at all...I guess the shea plus olive oil combo strengthened the hair. She is 3 months too.

My son had lots of hair when he was younger, and I used to wash it everyday...not knowing the dangers, and I also never used any shea butter, olive oil or coconut oil. At 3 months, his hair was already thick and not curly at all...and the halo he had was very obvious.

The difference in hair care for both kids, made me realise the above tips work well.

Thnks a lot bosslady. I don't just peel d cradle cap alone, I use olive oil to mk it soft first b4 using comb to pick it.
Whn u say washing hair once a week do u mean not washing d hair at all whn bathing d baby or not allowing water touch d hair and then use shampoo once a week? Wt shampoo do u use pls? Thnks once again

Gdevening supermom"s. Pls I nid clarification. My 3months baby has cradle cap, I noticed if I peel it off, d hair pulls of too, as a result der r a lot of spaces of baldness on the head.
I also noticed dt d back hair has parted in2 creating a wide space inbetwen.
Mama"s wat cn I do? I use oilve oil 4d hair. Wt cream cn I use to mk the hair curly and bouncy cos the hair looks too scanty and not soft @ all. Thanks y"all

@kaffy4bill and lovinam thanks a lot for replying. It has calmed my nerves cos I was thinking smtin is wrong.
@onegai, thnks I'll look for here in nigeria.
Pushing mamas may God b with u all.

Onegai:
Since this is a community, can we all put heads together? Post a pic of your favourite product and why you like it. Cribs can be wooden, but finished in wrong lacquer, the slots on the side are small enough, it has a firm mattress. A pic makes it easier plus we can all keep an eye out for it and see the lowest prices where.

As for diapers, I'm planning on using clothe diapers, the new and improved types (not the old school one). They're cute, they look and act exactly like disposables (minus the cost) less diaper rash, colourful and I can use them up to 3 years, plus they're way cheaper than disposables. I'll be using washing machine o, I can't handwash but the savings alone plus the fact that you can reuse them for another baby is just making sense.

I'll be using Olive oil instead of Johnson's lotion, my sister used it for her boys and never had an issue with it and it moisturised beautifully, hair and body. I will get a car seat than a rocker and hope a lot of people gift me baby clothes (because those things are the biggest money drainers ever and your LO grows so quickly, you won't use most of it)

@ onegai pls hw muc did dey call the washable diaper?

Experienced mom pls, lovinam and maran and odas, is it normal for a two month baby to cry in her sleep, deep cry as if sm1 beat her and then continue back sleeping

Hw much?

@ rezzy for colic pain, ders notin u cn do abt it. It normaly goes by 3months, but u can use nospamin, its #180, pls stop d agbo drinking tin, dia liver neva strong reach to handle such.
Pls 4d abidec, wats it for and cn a 6wks old baby tk it? Wil it mk baby fat?
Lastly mama"s pls wat was d estimated weight of ur LO"s @ 6weeks imunization. Tnks

Hello fruitful moms, God wil surely attend to each and evry1 of u individually.
@twintower, I loggd in jst to drop a msg 4u. Sfa done afta one week of abstainace wil definitly get u zero result. Pls go smwere else and do it, eida a standard lab or some oda hospital. Abstain for jst two days and do d sfa d 3rd day preferably in d morn. Anoda tin is don't open d bottle until dh want to put d sperm inside and close it tight. If u r going from d house mk sure d sample reaches d hospital not later than 30mins and kip it warm wrapped in a cloth or hanky or anytin to kip it warm. Above all mk sure dh is not stressed b4 producing d sample. Do all these let's see if d result remains same so ul no wat step to take. My 2cents. May jehovah be with us all.gdmorn

@ladyg, pls cn I hv a copy of the book too. Bless ur kind heart.
