Gudevening mamas,i am a little disturbed.plz what can I do for my 3weeks old baby to gain weight.i am a first time mum and I love chubby babies.At birth my baby weigh 2.8kg.I breastfeed and also use NAN formula for my baby and he eats very well but he is not gaining weight as expected

As long as your baby is healthy and growing fine, pls don't be disturbed, keep breastfeeding or giving formula till 6months then you start with fatty solid meals for your baby.

Goodmorning mamas I have a question to ask.
My 6months old son was running temperature thru out last weekend(btw 36.9 to 37.3degree Celsius), I took him to d Doc on Monday, complained of just high temperature and cough, after examining him she gave us anti malaria(to be taken twice daily for 3days) and amoxicilin oral suspension(to be taken 3* for 5days) and nothing for d cough.
Now today is d fifth day and he's still running temperature and coughing,I clean his body with wet towel almost every night.
what else do I do?
what else could be causing d high temperature

Is your baby teething? If Yes, then high temperature is one of the symptoms of teething. The doc is suppose to give a pain reliever like (paracetamol syrup or ibuprofen). It worked for my baby.

Oliran:
Please ma'am, do you freeze these purees or you just make little that you want to give your LO?

I put in the fridge and consume within 48hrs.

Baby boiled beans and ripe plantain with onions, crayfish and palm oil.

Apple, sweet potato and avocado.

UmmuFarrah:
Good morning mamas. Plz I need suggestion on this, anytime I give banana puree to my baby girl her poo is always very black though she likes the banana very well I don't have to force her to take it but the poo thing is my concern, does that mean I should stop giving her? plz come to my aid

Black poop as a result of bananas is very normal. If you're worried, minimize giving her the puree. But also be careful, bananas are constipated food. You can try other fruit puree to blend it.

rvpbae:
Do you use your normal blender to make these purees? Or you got a seperate one?

I use my normal blender for it.

I know what you're thinking... I use hot water before and after use to clean it up.

Pear fruit, carrot and sweet potato.
Same way.. steam till fork can run through then blend. To get the consistency, use Breast milk, formula or the water from the steam.

goodhairdiary:
Looks good
Love the colour
Did you remove the carrot shaft?

The shaft, you mean the back of the carrot? Yes it was peeled off. Then I steamed and blended.

Avocado, egg York and carrots.

Dont mind the texture. The meal is very light and best for dinner.

See as the baboon hold am like say him be him pikin.

Oliran:
please ma,Is there a particular rice for babies?

No ma..
What I meant about baby rice is rice boiled to porridge form. Like very soft that when blended, there won't be any trace of lumps.

goodhairdiary:
This looks good
What type of rice did you use and is there another veg option I can use cause broccoli is not easily accessible here

I used the long grain rice, but you can use brown rice if you have.
You can ugu leaf or spinach.

Steamed apple and pear fruit then blended. This helps to relieve babies from constipation and also to build their immune system.

Boiled baby rice, with broccoli, fish and sweet potato.

Note: I added sweet potato to the recipe to sweeten the meal.

claseek:
please u mean fresh egg yolk, or mashed boiled egg yolk?

Mashed boiled egg york ma.

@wowdiva I didn't find you on whatsapp

Broccoli, ripe plantain and fish

ifyalways:
There are oats and wheats cereals for 8months up.
Cerelac ( Malaysia) has oats, wheat and prunes combo cereal. Twas my grand sons favourite daily first meal. Guarantees daily, smelly poop .

that's the outcome.

I know about baby oat/wheat, just bcus your son likes it so much doesn't mean it's what's best for your baby then. Most baby's digestive systems aren't ready(fully formed) for such meals.

The American academy of paediatric (AAP) strongly adviced against it because of alergy, that of oats/wheat, egg whites etc...

Anyways do what you think it's best for you n your baby. Follow your instincts.

khaleesi:
Mamas pls I need a trusted and tested baby soap, powder/cream for baby rashes. The rashes on my baby keep spreading and when old ones die, new ones appear. I have changed her sponge..I had to start using savlon in her bath water, Dr said its not measles or chicken pox and prescribed antibotics, allergin and Endix G cream for her..Dr also advised I stop using the coconut oil I have been using as cream for her and use vegas. I suspected maybe she was reacting to wheats and oats cereals which I newly introduced and discontinued, still the rashes continue and it itches her. Pls I will appreciate any advice. Picture is attached

Oats/wheats are not for infants. Their body system isn't ready for such meals until 1yr hence the reaction. Just discontinue those meals. i'll advice you discontinue those chemicals you're using on your baby's skin. Use breast milk on the skin after bath and air free your baby's body. There's nothing breast milk cannot do. Give your baby lots of breast milk.

On a second note, are you really 'Khaleesi' from game of thrones?

This one pass wickedness. I couldn't even touch the screen to scroll. Graphic indeed.

wowdiva:
For some reason I can't access my email, here's my whatsapp https:////2347046211743

Ok.

wowdiva:
I love this, how did you get this smooth paste, what's the recipe? Pls share other recipes.. Can I chat you on whatsapp pls?

Sure you can.

Other recripes: Beans, ripe plantain and fish
Steam to still retain their nutrients then blend with crayfish.

Broccoli, chicken and sweet potato. Do same.

Cook unripe plantain, with onions, crayfish and fish(mackerel or shiny) precisely, small ugu leaf/spinach(owo leaf as called in the local market) then add a half teaspoon of palm oil. When soft, you blend.
Don't use milk for this particular recipe to get the consistency you want. The water you used in cooking the meal should be enough to get it. Just don't let the water dry up.

i'll upload pictures whenn next I prepare these meals again.

wowdiva:
This is very timely! Thanks for taking the initiative...
The mashed potatoes, can I add breast milk, as oppose to for formula? What consistency should the potatoes be? Very watery? What amount of milk should I add to the potato puree?

The mashed potatoes, can I add breast milk, as oppose to for formula?
Yes you can add milk.

What consistency should the potatoes be? Very watery?
Not very water and not very thick, just inbetween.

What amount of milk should I add to the potato puree?
The amount you think is ok.

A typical example below.. Though that is with carrot and egg York.
