@Blank. Yeah, U'r right! I actually asked that question to know if the reaction was as a result of the nan, I was thinking maybe her tummy isnt accepting it(that is if the discomfort startd as a result of it) so I thought if stoping the nan improves the situation then she may try another product, ofcourse after being certain the discomfort was bc of the nan... Strictly my thought!

Making it light is also a good option.

ogugua88: Home fries, scrambled eggs, sausages, and coffee for breakfast.

Ogugua I dnt need the whole plate, just three spoons would quench my hunger ooo

MrMexs007:

[size=13pt]I agree, as long as the Baby is healthy that what counts not when your baby is over weight and looks like Mr Dunlop , I know a couple who pumped there Baby Boy with all sorth of Baby 'feed' at uncontrolled portion. By the Boys 9month he was so fat that He's 'we-we' was disturbingly tiny. At that point they started running from one pediatrician to another. [/size]

Now this got me laughing 'we-we'

gbeduman: My 2 weeks daughter is finding it difficult to poop, she pushes and struggles to poop but instead she will releases air, her stomach feels very hard, she have stayed for 24 hours now without pooping. I'm very concern, can someone give me an advice or remedy to help heal my baby with this uncomfortable situation? she is fed on Breast Milk and NAN 1, her mom tried feeding her with breast milk alone but she keeps crying like she wasn't satisfied,please Somebody help.

When did you start the nan1? I'll sugest U stop giving her the nan for now and see how she feels, she may be constipating. For me 2weeks is too early to start introducing baby to formulas. If your wife has not resumed work she should stick with the breastmilk for some time. She can eat well and take lots of fluid to help the quantity of milkflow-pap, tea, kunu, palmwine...could help greatly. For me, kunu did the magic!

For the discomfort, U can put warm water in her anus or as somone said, U can put menteletum in cutton bud and insert lightly in the anus. U can also GENTLY massage the stomach and do a mini cycling with her legs. Mum should also eat lots of fruits and veg to help baby's system. Avoid the environment being stuffy(fries, damp, smoky and all) Hope this helps.

Wendy80: Great Mums, has anyone ever tried Gerber pureed fruits I̶̲̥̅̊n jar? I intend giving iit 2my 4months old Girl.....jar say from 4-36mmths

Not heard of it nor tried it. Hope someone who has tell us about it.

Your son shall live and unto old age. All those negative challenges or conditions attached to preterms shall not be his portion as he grows in Jesus name, Amen!

@Julicoka, just thinking about your daughter reminds me of a boy I know, he's 8mnths+ now and doesnt take pap, cerelac, baby formulas... but if you see him with semo ehn? omg! he drags food with adult oh, be it eba, semo, rice, beans...any adult food but semo is his favourite. Have you tried adult food? does she show some interest when adults eat? just thinking sha....Or Omogemi have you also thought in this line? hmmmm! no be joke oh!

Luvlystar: Pls mothers, can i give my 16months old baby honey for her cough?

Sure you can! Heard they can take honey from 1yr. You may want to get a good honey.

omogemi: just normal b complex syrup. U can get it @ d pharmacy. I ll suggest u give her 5ml 2ce a day. What u ll do is dis. When u wake up in d morning, breastfeed her. Let her have her fill. When she burps or after abt 10mins, give d b complex. Then go bath her. Dont offer breast again. Instead, go prepare her food. If she wants to sleep aftr d bath let her. But if she dsnt sleep, let her play. When she crys out for d breast again offer her d pap. She may not lyk d position u place her. Try another method. Let her sit in a chair. Or place her on ur lap sitting n sing rhyms for her or any song she likes . Offer her d food and see if she takes. If she dsnt take d pap leave her just dnt offer breast at dt moment. And if she takes a spoon or two, fyn, let her sleep with that. When she wakes u ll offer food again.

Good!! Talking about baby eating time. I also observ (for me) that position, spoon shape, plate or feeding bottle, rhymes... can encourage or discourage babies. Somtimes my son will refuse spoon and take bottle at other times reverse will be the case for the same food oh! when he was 8mnths I must sing befor that food will finish, now no need for that. hmmmm! I even changed this song
...mummy oh oh oh, wa pke laye.... to
...mummy oh oh oh, your food is so sweet, daddy oh oh oh, I love it so much....hahahaha, funny now.lol

It is well.

demmykay: Tanks omogemi, he is actually taking bosom milk well. I was given suitrox(azithromycin) for 3days and flygy. His poo is watery. I took him back to d clinic today nd was given ocefix(cefixime) to administer for 7days. Pray it soothes him. Once again tanks omogemi

Good luck Dear!

I feel Ur concern. Dont knw what else oh. Hopfully other mum could help out. If you can force a litle on her tongue Icwas hoping it will creat quest for water...that was how I started initially. stay strong, you'l pull throught and praying she comes around and increas apetit.

[/b][b]

ayobarmy: Thanks @kenny, she has stop b/feeding but all the food u stated here, are just her best friends and she love sugar just the way she loves me, she doesnt eat eba, but semo, and the funny thing is that she like to eat big a once........ So am confused oooooooo...

lol@the sugar part
Bro Ayo I know how you feel but truth be told, 98% of the work should come from her. She has to see reasons to work on herself and be determined to! I gave birth thru CS and I'm still breastfeeding but I which I can stop TODAY!lol. Why? I need to focus on my diet abeg!

I have always been feeling unhappy about my tummy and added weight, my cute and expensive ahirts can't button at the tummy side. annoying! What got me to my 'senses' was a pics we (my family) took in church two weeks ago with a celebrating family friend. I said NO oh! this is not me!lol. I came up wit a diet fast fast oh and hide somtims to follow it strickly cause hubby will say am breastfeeding.lol. After putting baby to bed, I do a min of 15min exercise befor bathing to sleep. will post the time table I compiled when am very free

bottom line, She has to wiiling and determined then apply decipline.

julicoka: pls itmelex i real need help i ve been battling wit my baby she is going to 8 months she doesn't eat i ve tried many tin pls what will i do her d worse part of it is water she doesn't drink it pls real need help urgent

So sorry oh. Have you tried oranges/multivitamins to boost her appetit? Oranges work well for me. U can try the egg yoke ( just put litle in her mouth to lick ) I gues it can make her thirsty and dont forget she's a baby and may not drink as much as we expect as the quantity may look too small for us. does she urinate well?

Strickly my opinion oh! all d best

blank:

He has responded severally. They had to make changes to the design of the foundation and it has thus increased the budget. He has taken the criticism and is moving on. E don do abeg.

He has even mentioned his initial expenses and went further to explain his inconvinience to give the incured amount along side the progress. I gues he will explain when the he is disposed to do so at a reasonable point. pls let him work.

debbie: Thanks for the tips! Pls for how long will I boil the fruits? Can it be stored in the fridge for how long? I hear sm pple say de don't put baby fomular in the pap,but use breast milk.how do I put vegetable in de pap? Am gathering my stuffs together.

I boil till its soft enof to mash, not timed it oh. I store the potatoe puree and beans in freezer but not stored fruit puree befor but I'v put blended watamelon mixed with orang extract in fridge stayed for like 3days. Experiment it and we will lik to know how it went

I dont know about the formula stuff but I tried the two oh, formula then breastmilk but my small oga no gree take pap ooo. Most people add formula jor! dont know of veg but my baby's ped recomended adding grinded crayfish, U can also try it with soya plus.....Babies?No be joke oh!

Yeah I forgot that! But I dont add milk again to the banana as its already sweet to me. will try adding a litle and see. I've never added milk to the apple oh, I gues some people do.

Oya am waiting oh! I scrolled up again to that rice and actually swallowed saliver on seeing the pics!

@Debbi, U can start with pap first, thier tender stomach tolerates that. If you decide to introduce tin food, start with a light cereal like rice, leav wheat till she is much older(this is from my own experience oh, she may tolerat it).

Cant remember all now but U could try these:
-peeled apple boiled and mashed
-irish or sweet potatoes, boiled and mashed ( I add crayfish, titus and tiny magerine or olive oil while cooking and blend all together)
-blended oats(to smooth whil dry), cook and add milk
-well cooked and mashed peeled beans(I introduced this at about 9mnths and very minut quantity..not much at all)
-egg yoke (somtimes I add this to well cooked/mashed white rice)
-yougut

These are the ones I can remember now. I'l sugest you try the pap for 2-3wks first befor gradualy introducing any other thing U feel lik. I started my baby on solid at exactly 6mnths! pap is mild, you can make it very light...dnt forget U introduc a food at a time and wait for like 4days before introducing another(I waited upto a week to intro new food cause my boy is very sensitive...but now two days max)

In all sis, do what you'r comfortable with and if you'r very confused visit the ped. Heard every mum has great instinct, don't ignor yours now!

All the best

ITSMODELLA if you dont know, I do the oficial tasting in this thread!lol.
Oya before I saction you, quietly put the spoon so I do my work ooo

Looks great!
DISCLAIMER(interpreted from pics): stay away, the rightful owner has the spoon except U dont mind using your fingers. hahahaaaaa

Honeyyetty Dear! Personally I had no idea at all to your inquiries oh! In fact, I was looking out for answers on the ovaltin part. Sorry you felt that way. Not all questions may be answered as some mums may be in doubt and some may have been answered befor.


Wow. Now you got lots of mum and DAD on your question!lol.... oya take this e-hug unbehaf of all the mum on this thread..***hugs***lol

No oh!lol. Ok.....but wait oh, I'm a female too and I commented on the topic na?lol.

maran! maran! maran! how many times did I call you?lol.I'm not a lecturer oooo. it was made on the headline. That I made an observation doesnt make me perfect na! Thats typo jor not gramatical error.lol....Sincerely looking out for us makes us better! thanks.

Oya, give an answer to Op's question.

Thanks imuboss. I'l check around.

Common on nairaland is the use of 'being' and 'been' interchangably.***just wandering why***

@op it is 'been' and not 'being'. Sorry its irritating to the eyes.

@topic. Every married responsible determined woman pray and STRIVE to CONTINUALLY be a blessing/chanel of blessings to her husband and children. There's always a positive testimony to this at the end of the day(mnth/year) by the husband and people around.

However, it takes a long term goal and vision to keep this going in all circumstance!


...women have potentials than we(women) realise.

Uzoo! Uzoo!! Uzoo!!! How many times did I call you? I must get shawama today!..... No no no, I overcome this heavy temptation ooo! watching my weight closely!*frowning*

Great job there Uzoo! Inviting indeed!!

hey IMURBOSS, pls what brand of codliver oil are U using? my baby reacted to seven seas and Doc said it has imitations but she cant remember d name of a good one(imagine!). pls tell. thanks!

Happy happy happy birthday to your babies!!!(ify's world and Omo lady), many more joyful and prosperious years ahead!

@ Omo lady, what was the doc's recomendation abi na only complain him just dey complain? Am sory I dnt knw what to advice, would have said you try giving her vitamines/multivitamines/oranges but you already said she is a consumer! Hope she start adding soonest.

@ify do what you'r comfortable with ooo and leav side-sayers. WHO says breasfeed till two years, our mothers say 1yr, me I say 10months(ONLY A WISH OOO!lol). They can get what they need from peak 123?
***i tap this your twin anointing for my next preg ooo***

^^^Wow! that makes us 3! must have omited adeturayo's post. Mine was because my nipple was 'flat' and after pulling it out during pregnancy, the left nipple improved and it became his favourite but I didnt let it get to the point of being biger at all! If he sucks the left now, I'll pump out the right and give him next(in the position of the right bust). Also I waited til he is very hungry and put him on the right bust and with determination he will suck the thing well!

Indeed, it's a phase that will pass. Also go with Omogemi's sugestion as one side may not be too good for his neck and posture.


@slim05, what is colic pain? Do U now observe that the warmth he gets from your body while on your back is reducing the congestion and cold?
I gues you know how to steam a baby?
I have also read here that mentoletum helps.

Omegemi, Not that the fragrance of agnessia is bad I just dont fancy it, I like that apealing baby smell my baby's powda gives compared to the agnesia when I used it, but it worked greatly and thats what counts!
#na me complain na, not Pretty Trust.lol.

Ehn, help us tell ify ooo! Been with notepad and pen as regards that nta and she has not come to explain ooo

Eya! @pretty trust if its teeth then twill be for a few days. Feel your concern. Hope it clears fast! You may want to always keep her dry to reduce itching and see a Dr if it persist...all the best ooo

PRETTY TRUST sorry about that. I may not have a perfect solution for you but have U tried Agnesia powder? I use coconut oil(self-made) for my baby and his skin has been excelently smooth but once I mistaking bought 'fake' food and the next day rashes all over his body! A nurse told me to buy the powder and I did, though I hated the 'smell'(not fragrance ooo.lol). within 2-3days his skin was cleared.

Did you change her washing detergent,cream,soap or food? Are her clothes well suned? It may also be teeth ooo.
All the best!
