You don't say?!! :oYou don't say?!!

Noted. Thanks greatly.

Thanks 4tunebest! How long do U think it can stay in the fridge befor I start getting concern of it going bad as no preservatives?

Hey pendo89! Quite some time I must say! I looked forward to your posts in my 'guest years' before being a member. Always had a good point...kudos!


@topic, will b posting some pics of homemade food here too. Love cooking and love food pics!lol.

interested....

went to the house of hubby's colleague and drank this drink made from pinapple and ginger. tasted pure and nice! Dnt know the recipe but I'l jst try a mixture and see how it goes. keep U posted.

Any standard idea on d recipe is welcomed ooo

@Op truth be told. With the little time you have before marriage, You have to work on your 'philosophy of life'. What I mean is you have to start accepting the notion that you will soon be 'under' a man and maybe like your father, Ur husband may want to prove he is the head.

My point is, you cant 'always' have the freedom you want but you can try to find joy in anything you have to do. You will be married soon and wont have this privacy you'r itshing to have.

Work around things. understand your parents and let them understand you so a reseanable line can be drawn...thats also involved in marriage so learn now.

All the best Dear



#Amelian and vingi gave it a real hit!#

Thanks demmykay! will sure try this out. do they have specific clothe for that purpose? I must try this nxt week!

Thanks for d reply Jade. Indeed drs can be ignoraant at times. When I noticed the stooling I STOPED evryoda thing immediatly only d 3cereals he was used to. I dnt add milk to the cerelac oh, wish I could anyway.lol.

Pls do pap go bad?(dnt laugh at me oooo.lol)
Der was no lit for about 24hrs nd I didnt put my gen on then, when I went to change the pap water I notice it was making litle funny noise, I washed d surface and made it for mysef, it was ok and then I made for baby ooo(dnt knw if that was the big mistake) and gav him twice nd d nxt day the pooing started. Yes I cook d pap after adding wata, mum said to do it dat way so that baby doesnt purge, but added the crayfish wen I want to serve. I thnk he liked the crayfish bcause when I made it with potatoes he joyfully ate it. Dont even know again joor!

As I stoped evrytin he pooed jst once today but startd coughing this morning and we stil went to see the ped. No temp at all. Didnt even think of teeth oooo( cause the two coming out from below never even stand well.lol). Doc said seven seas was good but now has fakes but forgot the name of a better one. imagine that!!!! I was like WAT?! Am I the one to remember?
I will try putting it in his pap the way U said but I realy need courage to try pap again. will try d bcomplex too.

Questions:
How do I remove the water completely from pap so its strong lik the ones in the market I use to know?
How do I preserve pap after making it from scratch(freezer idea)
what does zinc do in babies(will google this tho)
can I add soyaplus in cerelac?

Thanks greatly mums!

@juli. sory for the stress U'r going thru sounds lik U did exclusive lik me. my boy frownd his face at water as if I added venega ooo. I jst waitd again til d weda was hot and instead of breastmilk I gav him water, he had no choice but tuk litle, somtims I made it very lukwarm to know if he will take it nd anytim I try to giv him I always say "wata wata". Now if he hears wata he wil grab the cup, lean forward and open his mouth!

Did she throw up at d can food too? did U try pap? I think her tommy wil tolerate it as she threw up at adult food. Mine didnt even open his mouth for the rice cereal,cerelac, at 6mnths but I forced d food inside ooo, provided him no vomit!lol, until he got used to the taste. I pray she starts eating normaly soon! All the best ooo

@jade, pls wat brand of codliver oil do U use? d seven seas made my baby's poo very watery the next day and he doesnt like it at all! I had to stop it ooo.

I added d crayfish nd milk(sma)to d pap(added after mixing d pap wit hot wata) nd gav him twice on wed. yestdy he purged ooo, pooped 6tims!!! ready for hospital nw but he had not poo since d last time he did(around8pm). I'v givn him like this befor but jst once and it was few days befor this one I gave him twice. pls wat's the cause? did I not had it rightly or its d pap or crayfish?... confused...

@jade. thanks for d info, thought I wasnt doing it rightly. at six mnth my baby didnt lik pap(wit or witout soya+)nd cries wn he sees it. I decided to start again now at 8+mnths but dis time wit milk nd crayfish and he loves it!

^^^ I think 15weeks is quit early for him to be sitting. I started sitting my son at 4mnths and at 5mnths he was sitting very upright! Mum nd others say U dont start sitting boys as early as girls because of thier
waist(dont know how true but didnt start early as I felt he wasnt strong enough).
For the neck, dnt knw but if his birth weight was very low, it may be a factor. It will get strong gradualy as we dont expect them to be very firm overnight.
I also take him out for early morning sun(vit D), heard it helps thier bones, not everyday sha.lol

My thoughts tho.

Wow!!! I cant believe this is my first "real" coment on nairaland! After being a guest for two years, decided to reg about two weeks ago. Been following this thread since the day it was created! Thanks to all the mothers that made it worthwhile!
Enjoy the joy of motherhood!

@chacha3, I second Omogemi's opinion. My baby is 8mnths plus nw. At 7+, I started him on cerelac (appl, wheat and milk) nd I noticed he was reacting funny, like his system cant digest d food well, unlike him for almst a week he didnt poo nd when he did, it was very black. I had to go back to the rice and milk I startd with at six months. Try d rice nd milk or other lighter cereals. Dnt be in a hurry to solids as his major food.
Hey! at six months, until seven months was as if I was still doing baby freindly! I waited upto a week befor introducing anything new.
And indeed let a good ped be aware befor introducing anything new.

I vote LUPEY
