The journey never even start. My daughter is here forcing me to agree that 11=onety one, 12=onety two. I had to agree so I can breathe.

My daughter started spitting out after brushing @25m. I'll sing "this is how I brush my teeth and spit it (pumm) brush my teeth" then tell her to clap for yourself anytime she does it right.
I introduced toothpaste @12/13m. Is 10months not too early?

My dear, with 7 teeth and the 8th one about coming out I had to start o.

Kudos to you on every methods you're using to get her to spit out. Na God go give us strength.

MzCorleone:

The rashes are on his neck,chest and back and they feel rough to the touch. The one on his face isn't rough

Ok dear... it doesn't appear too severe. You can try any of those creams and air free your Baby biko. This na dry season. And give enough breast milk.

If it persist, pls see the doctor.

That Graceland has always been a great school.

Oliran:
Good morning mamas, please I've some questions to ask.

I plan to compliment my DS feeding after 4months and he will be 4months in some days, Do I prepare his pap with the normal water running in the house or I should use pure water?

He will be starting crèche by January, by God's grace. Do I boil the bottled water into his flask or just boil pure water and put sealed bottled water?

Cc: All mamas

Modified: How old is your baby ma'am HolySteph?

Good morning ma'am.

He is 10months 1 week old.

I'm sorry I don't really have answer to your questions but me I just boil normal tap water and use for the pap then give bottled water for drinking.

MzCorleone:

Hi mamas, am a FTM and my 7weeks old baby has rashes all over his body, I use only coconut oil and ASDA little angels powder on him I don't know if I should stop applying coconut oil(he's got dry skin)or the powder.

Nycil anti rash powder was suggested to me don't know how effective it is or if it's safe for his age. Thank you

Firstly can we see the picture of the rash?

Do you over cover your Baby? If yes, then pls it should be minimal now bcus we are in dry season and the heat is so intense now.

I would have suggested you stop the use of the oil and powder for now and try any of these anti (allergic, bacteria and fungal) creams ABF, Funbact a or baby tribotan, if the rashes are not so much yet.

I am still struggling with my 2+ DD to spit out during brushing.Sometimes she will obey, most times,she will purposely swallow d stuf.
One day,I forgot to remove the paste after their morning brushing. My daughter in the company of his brother licked almost d whole paste,as in like sweet. I don't even know what to do with them. Angry that they wasted my money and angry that they swallowed paste.
My dear d journey continues...

Na wa! We are really in for it.

See me thinking that from 1 yr 6months he'll handle it himself.

Baby Oat ( blended to powdered form) a little baby formula and yoghurt.

This is a very lovely healthy recipe. A mama dragged me one certain time about my comment concerning babies allergy to oats.. It's not my fault..anything to protect our babies.. I was doubting oats for babies initially cus I read about baby allergy caused by oats so I was sceptical about it and adviced against it but I tried later and there was no effect.. my baby loved it. You can as weĺl try it.

talltosyne:

That is one of the condition required for sales of fresh yoghurt.

Am based in Lagos.

U can join our training group on how to make fresh yoghurt.

Ok I actually wanted to know so I can get and try some of your probiotic yoghurt.

DanZenithh:


He has been doing Catarrh for the past few days , his nostril was blocked, we have taking him to the doctor who told us to do steam inhalation and prescribe piritin and vit c for him, meanwhile he hardly suck as a result of his blocked nostril caused by Catarrh, pls help

If that's the case spoon feed him. Express the milk or use formula. He needs to be hydrated with enough liquid this period. It's probably cold to be the cause. As one mama recommended putting drops of silver bird or the other on the cloth or pillow of your baby. This would help to clear the nostrils. Also do the sucking.. use your mouth and suck out the mucus to help clear the airways. That vitamin c works too.

It's well, your baby would be fine.

ifyalways:

How old is he?

Under 15 months, im yet to see or hear of anyway to make them spit so the only solution is to ensure you use a very tiny quantity, pea sized quantity and also its toddlers tooth paste.

From 16 months, bath/brush time becomes a sing and demonstrate session. Play all the teethbrushing videos you can find before bathtime and then during bath time, start sing song, demonstrate the spitting and all.

How old is he?

He is 10months old

***hands on my head***

Will this journey ever end!

Good evening mamas.. Hope you're all doing well with babies?

Quick question,.. pls how can one make a baby spit out paste while brushing? My baby just has an unusual taste for paste now.. whenever he sees the paste coming to his mouth he becomes so excited... sometimes I don't even bother trying to rinse his mouth bcus he helps himself by swallowing it down before I do.

Microbiological, pap and yoghurt are same cos they both contain lactic acid bacteria both are product of fermentation. Instead of d yoghurt, add baby formula or breast milk.

Mama are you based in port Harcourt?

talltosyne:

Was it chill when u bought it?

Yes it was. Why?

talltosyne:


Microbiological, pap and yoghurt are same cos they both contain lactic acid bacteria both are product of fermentation. Instead of d yoghurt, add baby formula or breast milk.

I did.

talltosyne:


Babies yoghurt is different from adult yoghurt. Probiotic?? Or probiotic? Get ur info right. Habib yoghurt in anyway doesnt qualify for a probiotic yoghurt.

Ve worked with many yoghurt, some doesn't contain any live microbes, some are just milk acidified with lactic acid, while some are just milk flavored thicken with gelatin and starch yoghurt.

Check those who make fresh yoghurt on IG and see what d cost of 1litre fresh is and compare

Anyway u r free to give ur child what u think is fine but I will advise

Hm

I applied it to my baby's pap and got this..




More recipes coming up....

talltosyne:

Habib yogurt is made from our regular cow milk which children less than 12month cannot digest and utilize properly. Children start taking adult milk from 12months and same applies to yoghurt. I ll advise u get yoghurt made from baby formula

Ok I didn't see this. I didn't find the habib sef I got this one.

Evening mamas

Pls I have a questions for mamas that do fruit puree for their babies.

I observed thaf banana,boiled apple n avocado are part of babies first fruits from 6 months. I'm just wondering when other fruits can be introduced? Pls mamas when did you introduce others?

Also, why is watermelon not part of first fruits, I mean to blend and maybe sieve. After all, it's said to be over 90% water.

In addition, what's the longest time you've kept fruit puree fresh at room temperature. wondering if it can be prepared early morning and kept till lunch snack.

One last thing, did you get a dedicated pot for baby's food? And if yes, was it nonstick?

Pls help a mama
Thank you

Wow this your questions plenty.

Okay let me answer the one I can relate from my knowledge.


I observed thaf banana,boiled apple n avocado are part of babies first fruits from 6 months. I'm just wondering when other fruits can be introduced? Pls mamas when did you introduce others?

I've not really played around different fruits cus I'm scared of allergy, so I just go with the regular fruits and observe for reactions. I don't introduce any fruit without gaining knowledge or doing a research from Google about their health benefits for babies. So in other words I'm very sceptical about what goes in my baby's mouth.
So I think you can introduce then later combine them but never forget to know their health benefits before giving to baby.



Also, why is watermelon not part of first fruits, I mean to blend and maybe sieve. After all, it's said to be over 90% water.

From what I learnt about watermelon for infants is bcus watermelons(as the name implies 'water') has alot of water in it which is what is known as electrolyte. Infants needs more milk than just water. Secondly, the seeds for infants can be a choking hazards for baby. To me that's just the few things that I know about babies against watermelons but they tend to weigh the disadvantage above the advantage. Watermelon also is good for rehydration.


In addition, what's the longest time you've kept fruit puree fresh at room temperature.

I keep not more than 24hrs. I discard or eat it after 24hrs.

wondering if it can be prepared early morning and kept till lunch snack?
Why not! As long as it's in a cool place. Don't leave it in heated place cus it's a fresh fruit and it's likely to get bacteria if not in a cool place. Banana and avocado should not be stored or refrigerated. Consume immediately.



One last thing, did you get a dedicated pot for baby's food? And if yes, was it nonstick?

Yes I did. But not nonstick. It's a brand new pot from a set I got. It's your choice to go for nonstick pots but be careful bcus most nonstick pots becomes stick pots when the thing supposed to be making it nonstick goes off.. and most times it mixes with your meal, trust me you don't want that for your baby. So if you're getting, get original.

I hope I made sense. Sorry for the many English.

Good night
