evening mamas...is it okay to give my 6months old baby indomie and egg?

Except you'll blend smooth and watery with milk to enable your baby swallow it. But to me it's too early for that. Fruits and vegetables puree is ok.

It's normal for infants on breast milk. When you start giving solids you should be worried then.

my daughter loves groundnut o..
we finish a bottle in 1 week

Your own is one week and that's you and your daughter o,... my hubby can finish one bottle in one day.

Oliran:
Good afternoon mamas, I have 2 crèche on mind and I'm at a crossroad on which to pick.

1. It's opposite my house and it's a new school, although they have school elsewhere. they just built this annex in my street. The last time I checked there, they don't have any baby in crèche yet, and few pupils in other classes.

2. It's close to my house too as the street is behind us. The day I checked there, they have about 7 children in their crèche.

Hubby prefers the ones with children, he said DS will have friends to interact with.

Please mamas which one is better?

I'm sorry mama but I believe the more children the high tendency of children falling ill. Less children the less ailment and the caretaker would focus more on your child. My thoughts.

How old is she?

Oh she just turned 2.

The effect is mainly under 12.. 15months is still around the corner tho. I think so.

Shallypop:
Just got to know d effect of ginger from your post. Can i add raw ginger or I must boil b4 adding it? Also what quantity can I put in her food? Thanks so much.

I don't know about raw... but boiling it before adding would be ok.. what I do, while grinding the guinea corn, millet and yellow corn, I add it together and grind. So when I'm extracting it I do it at once and while making the pap, the hot water in making it makes it cooked.

enque:
if u dnt mind my asking.....whats with groundnut?

It's comes with it's Good and side effect. Cough and skin allergy precisely, but its unsaturated fat is good for babies.

goodfortun:
Not really
.. cos he doesn't chew yet and I don't add to his pap too.

i'll suggest you keep trying the ginger... and as a mama suggested you take a break from the creche.. kids easily gets sick in the midst of other kids. Sorry about the ailment. He'll be fine.

goodfortun:
I've always blended his pap with ginger just little quantity though and when the cough started again I have him ginger and honey but it didn't really help.

Thanks for the suggestions

Do you give groundnut?

FloraEC:
Supplements don't do shit for her. She'll be hungry but will request for agege bread or aintain or nta(water). What I do is to feed her bit by bit like 5 times in a day with fight.
We've tried: Vitane, well kid, Astyfer.
I'll take 10ml of Astyfer and be shivering for food like someone that was starved.
If you want her to cry or sleep just bring out her plate.

Lol.. @shivering for food.

goodfortun:
Moms I'm tired and helpless. Teary even. For the past couple of months we've been battling cough and cataarh. My baby is 15months. Lifeline children's hospital is our go to clinic. In fact they know us there. I've had to buy nebulizer mask cos they constantly Do It for him every time we go there. My poor baby's cough is so deep and I feel so much for him. Don't know what to do again. As wary as they are against prescribing anti biotic there, they invariably have to. We've taken all sorts and kinds. Today now they've prescribed inhaler for him. Don't know te triggers again.

I've stopped regular fan/a.c. usage, in fact hubby moved outta the room for us claiming its too stuffy. I avoid him being around wen cooking things like soup or pepper or using cleaning agents and mosquitoes spray as much as possible. I've informed them at creche too upon that we're still here.

Oti sun mi. (I'm tired ) ive tried all the home remedies I researched here but still it persists.

Have you tried giving ginger to your baby? Ginger has a very high benefits in cases like this. In your baby's pap/ogi blend ginger in it, in any other food put ginger. It'll help cure/relieve your baby from that. that's what has kept my baby from such ailment.

I wish your baby speed recovery.

Carrot and Apple puree

nwarosa:
This worked like magic. Thank you.

Please mamas now I have started flowing, not gushing yet but my baby had gotten used to the bottle nipple and now won't latch unto mine. He's so impatient. But he doesn't mind breast milk.

So my question is can I use electric pump for the whole duration of breastfeeding without needing him to suck from me?

It's your choice if you are impatient to make him get back to sucking the nipples. i'll suggest you keep putting him always to the breast but express milk out for him in case the effort is futile.

PRAISE THE LORD! My baby can now suck from a sippy cup.

Dancing since morning.

I don't think this is applicable to PH alone but the whole country with the advent of Pet and satchet packages. Upgrading our recycling system will go a long way in providing a lasting solution to this.

Don't mind them.

a year and one month

I'm suspecting what he eats. Since he is fine without running temparature, fruits might help. If it persist pls see your doc.

Shallypop:
Hi ma'am. I tried this combo for my 10 months old baby but reacted to it. Soybeans was even added to it. Though, I introduced my baby to Aptamil milk and this modernised pap dat includes d things above. He reacted to one of these.

Oh dear I'm so Sorry about that. One thing is, you should know and understand your baby's body. I'm having a feeling it's the soybeans. 70% of babies react to it and/Or groundnut or crayfish. i'll suggest you stick to just the millet, guinea corn and yellow corn with milk for and observe the reaction.

You give the soymilk to your baby from one year, im sure his body system should be ready for it.

I'm sorry about the reaction. Give him enough fruits, breast milk, water and watch the reaction, he'll be fine. Take care of him.

Mamas I'm here to learn too.

Ogi/pap(millet, guinea corn and yellow corn) with groundnut, crayfish and baby formula.

amorprincesa:
Check the pack of the blender. It is usually written on it or check the instruction manual.

Ok ma I would if I still have it but it's been disposed a long time.

Jennykoko3009:
After weaning my son, his poo is now greenish, is it as a result of weaning? or is it sign of teething? if yes please mummies what should be the remedy...

no increase in temperature, still active

How old is your son?

Sweet potato, chicken and fish with baby formula.

Forevergirl:
Mama Biko what brand of blender do you use and what’s the wattage if you don’t mind me asking.

I use binatone blender.

Wattage?.... I'm sorry mama I can't really analyse all that..but I know that i can use it on both low/high current even with gen.

talltosyne:
How old is ur baby? Guess dis combos is too much

10months plus and it's not my dear. You mustnt do the exact combo cus most babies might react to it so I think you should do the one you think will be okay for your baby.

Roseey0:
Pls how do I store after it forms

Put a little water over it in a bowl and refrigerate or store in a room temperature but change the water everyday or after each use.

DanZenithh:
Good day fellow mothers,

angeltolly:
I just introduced this to my 14 months old son, he seems to like it. Checkers oat with peak 123. I don't blend tho

Which yoghurt did you add?

I added Farm fresh unsweetened yoghurt.

nwarosa:
Good evening mamas, please how do I make my breast milk come out. I put to bed yesterday via CS. Been putting baby to suckle but nothing yet. Took pap and pepper soup today. I don't want baby to get used to formula.

What else can I do please?

Just a glass or 2 glasses of palm wine would solve your problem or buy fenugreek.

FloraEC:
That's what I used. Immediately the cord fell off, I started using vaseline. Some people use mentholathum

I know about mentholatum tho.
