Health / Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by helixmanager: 9:46am On Nov 22, 2012 |
ayobarmy: Thanks for the info, but the big question always on my mind is, Why is custard not suitable for a 7months old Because custard is just starch,flavour,sugar,salt and colourant.In some cases fortified with few vit and minerals. It doesn't contain all the requirement for optimal growth and development for your baby at that age. |

ayobarmy: but the guy is now 7months old can i still give frisco gold? Yes,u can still complement breastt milk with Frisogold1(0-12mths)but from 6months milk no longer suffice for an infant. It might also interest you to know that some babies not started on solids by a certain age (9-12mths)may have great difficulty accepting solid foods. The best time to start solids is when your baby is showing interest in solid foods,whenever baby seems to be hungry even after breastt feeding or when weight gain is not satisfactory. You need to wean the child by introducing solid foods like family food as advised by some nairalanders or use the cereals.They have Friso cereals Rice and Wheat which are very smooth and nutritious and different from Frisogold1(Infant formula-milk).(I am saying these because of my experience with it). Let me make some notes on how you should introduce solid foods. Breastt feed before each feeding of solid food Avoid highly spiced and flavored foods that can cause an allergy Offer your baby the foods that he/she is interested in. Start with small quantity,then increase as baby grows older. Respect baby's likes and dislikes.Don't push him/her to eat a particular food Gradually increase food thickness as child grows make feeding times pleasant experience Wish u da best! |

ayobarmy: Hellooooooo is any1 here? Pls which is the most safest baby milk for a 4months old baby. I bought 123milk but some says its not good for him......i will be glad with the fastest response. Thanks I saw this late. Friso gold1 is a baby milk (infant formula)not very popular but a product of peakmilk.I got to know about it from one of their rep that came for a presentation in the hospital. Thereafter,I used it for my baby and the good result made me recommend it to patients when the need arise although we promote Breastt milk as a priority. I have never seen a case or complaints about the product except in cases of lactose intolerance. It also has a price advantage over NAN and SMA,so I was able to save some money for other household needs. Like someone advised,its better to start peak 123 from year 1. I hope this helps. 1 Like |

Romance / Re: Fulani Chief Calls For Inter-tribal Marriages Among NYSC Members by helixmanager: 9:13am On Nov 15, 2012 |
The Fulani chief also called for the overhaul of the new NYSC policy of posting corps members to only four sectors: health, education, agriculture and infrastructure. He said: “I pity the state NYSC offices. Like in Abuja, how many agricultural outfits do we have that can contain at least 1,000 corps members that were to be posted to agric sector for their primary assignment.’’ I am surprised that people are so clouded by religious and ethnic sentiments to have ignored the valid submission above. Which way Nigeria?We like it or not,we have to live together to build the Nigeria of our dream. |

Politics / Ngozi Okonjo Iweala Behaves Like God - Ifeanyi Ubah( Capital Oil And Gas) by helixmanager: 9:08am On Nov 12, 2012 |
Owing to his face-off with the owner of Coscharis Motors, Cosmas Maduka, the boss of Capital Oil and Gas, Ifeanyi Ubah on Sunrise Daily this morning indicted the Finance Minister in the subsidy probe matter as using her position to the advantage of her political sycophants. My worry is that GEJ has vested so much trust and power on this woman,if she's guilty of this accusation then Nigerians should expect more shocking revelations about these leapers we call leaders.

Food / Re: Nestlé Responds To Golden Morn Discussion by helixmanager: 12:35pm On Oct 24, 2012 |
Emary: Your definition of mild is very funny but again it only shows the kind of person you are. My dear,the ocean of knowledge is deep and wide.I doubt if I know a pin drop but my point is that we need continuous improvement,share and learn from each other and provide quality information. If you have a unique case where breast milk no longer suffice,you can supplement with infant formula(Pure modified milk) and not cereals. Manufacturers state that Infant cereals should start from 6 months in line with regulation. I am aware that some mothers start weaning from 4 months but this should be with the pass of the pediatrician/Dietician. GOLDEN MORN IS NOT EVEN IN THIS SCOPE!!! I hope this is not Mary I taught in Adams Adebobola Integral Tutorial Centre?graduated from LUTH? |
Food / Re: Nestlé Responds To Golden Morn Discussion by helixmanager: 10:08pm On Oct 23, 2012 |
Emary: I was actually mild with my response but if you feel insulted,I am very sorry. I would have ignored your post but when you said your sister took goldmorn from 4months and try to encourage that,I decided to react because of the audience.Even infant cereals are encouraged to start from 6 months after exclusive breast feeding for at least the first 6months from birth not to talk of feeding an infant Golden Morn from 4months. Again you displayed lack of professionalism which is my worry here because thousands of mothers are on this forum and they deserve 100% quality information.Infant is a sensitive word my dear if truly you know your onions in the medical world. let me react to the important points you raised. 1. Your personal experience cannot form a general conclusion because of variation and how many mothers did you study?where did you carry out the research and under what condition? 2.Is it all infant that tolerate Soya?Is the protein and other nutrients requirement in infants same as those above 3years? 3.According to the manufacturer,(check Seun's last post)its not suitable for infants and you still insist Is that what you learn in medical school? 4.Make more research on gluten and infant nutrition From today,I name you google doctor. 4 Likes |

Dear Nairalanders, Kindly verify the source of information before making your fecund conclusion. Imagine the post earlier about a suicide bomber in Arik Air from Maiduguri,which generated a lot of comments only to find out it was a false alarm. Thank you. |

Labelle: You may be right but professionally you need to respect the submission of the manufacturer. Economy vs Health implication MAY not be the way to go (Just my opinion because Golden Morn is regarded as ALL FAMILY CEREALS and not INFANT CEREALS Scientifically,one need to understand effects of micro nutrients,RDA of infants.....) Competition has also been a factor on low sales of Nutrend and cerelac especially with the introduction of premium brand FRISO GOLD CEREALS(formerly FRISOCREAM)which is smoother,irresistible by infants and highly nutritious. Permit me to say that Growth can either be qualitative or quantitative.Quantitative interms of height and weight.Qualitative w.r.t maturation of internal organs.So its not enough to say my baby looks healthy while you stress the digestive system or increasing the RSL(Renal Solute Load). 2 Likes |

Emary: I'm a doctor and I've been a Golden morn fan since it came out when I was a kid. My sister has been eating it since she was 4 months old and is now a perfectly healthy 28yr old. The only reason for the warning is that the formula is not made for easy digestion in children, not that it is harmful in anyway. It is still a nutritious and very balanced meal. However some young children may not digest it properly especially with the new maize formula so you need to observe their stool and look for poorly digested content. If you find it, you'll need to wait till the child is older. There is no need for any panic. I am surprised Anyway,being a doctor doesn't make you a Dieticians or Nutritionist.I recommend you widen your scope on Pediatric Nutrition. I am also aware Nestle has delegates that provide information about their brands in the HCF,ask them if at all you are a practicing doctor. Make your opinion known and next time you attach your discipline to unprofessional comments,I will....... 4 Likes |

switchmax8: woow this is crazy really insane country it is only in nigeria that this shit happen.why will nafdac or SON react when the various companies employ their family members in and they are not taking it.My daughter has been taking it for over a yr now and she is 2yrs plus now this last one at home when it finishes will not buy again because when i read it on nairaland i communicate it to my wife she said that was the reason soya bean was added to make it suitable for kids under 3yrs.I am going to put a stop to it and we should endeavour to spread the news now and it should be viral twitter,facebook and other affordable means because it is really bullshit I feel your pain brother cos my baby is also under 3 and Im gonna stop it till he's 3.We need to thank Peterwins for being so observant. This also goes to all that we should endeavor to check the labels of all items we buy before consumption.The labels are not just for adverts,they contain regulatory enhanced information to protect the right of consumers.I have lost count of times I have called attention of groceries owners to product expiry. We need to look out for expiry or best before dates,Manufacturing dates,Nafdac numbers,look out for allergy sensitive ingredients (e.g Some people are allergic to Soya beans),Alcoholic contents,........ Nestle isn't liable for you feeding your baby Golden morn below the desired age cos its on the product label,hence NAFDAC cant hold them for that.Infact,it has passed thru NAFDAC approval.Its an extra effort from Nestle to make it legible enough as a way of showing their respect to customer concerns. Its a National error,we are all in it just the way we unconsciously call all seasoning Maggi,all toothpaste Macleans,.......and we assume to once a baby takes Friso gold/Frisocream from 6months,by one year they can start taking Golden Morn instead of waiting for the child to clock 3. Permit me to conclude that Golden Morn isn't a poison but the Starch content is hydrolyzed to suit the digestive system of children 3 yrs and above. My Child ate it very well and he is very healthy physically but maybe there was much stress on his digestive organs. If you take time to read my long comments,I say thank you. 9 Likes |

plendil: Golden Morn is only suitable(i.e GOOD)for children of 3yrs or older,so Nestle is not responsible for any digestibility complications arising from parents feeding their children under the age mentioned. The MODIFICATION is on what Peterwins stated about clarity/legibility of such a sensitive information and they hope to make amends to that. |
