Dainy1: Hellow mothers, how do u see a woman who stop bosom feed by 3months due to the nature of her job, will the baby grow healthy at all? will the baby be fine? is any mother in the house doing that? who do u do it?

How com resumin work made u stop bf?Can't u express&keep in d fridge or bf wen u com back frm work?D child wil grow healthy 4sure but mak sure u wash&sterilize ur feeder urself&observe d quantity of milk ur child takes cos if u leav d child 4d nanny,d child might not b takin d milk&wen u com back,ur nanny wil lie dat he/sh ate well

No no.Don't giv d capsule.Seven seas codliver oil syrup is evrywhere.Its vry vry thick&smells lik fish.Patiently find it.Its vry vry good.It helps wit immunity,eyesight,bone,apetite&prevents bowl leg.One of my collegue's baby's leg started bowin at 11mths but wen sh started d cod liver oil,d boy's leg bcam normal afta a while.My girl doesn't eat well but wen u carry her up,sh's so heavy.I started givin it 2her at 4mths.I used 2add it in her (a cap full 2xs a day)
Dawa is guinea corn&jero is millet&then yellow corn.I buy 3mudu of ogi;2mudu of guinea corn&2mudu of millet.Soak d corn 2day,add d jero&dawa d next day then grind al of dem 2gether nxt 2moro(day 3) then seive;tie in waterproof,d quantity sh'l tak in a day&store on d freezer&it'l last for mths

corrall: Hi Jade,

i guess it will probably be very light right? maybe 2 scoops of her milk to half teaspon maybe? what do you think?

I started wit 60mls;Use d spoon u c in NAN/SMA,add 2scoops of milo&a scoop of milk of warm water.Myn wud finish it&want more but I don't cos I was watchin 2c if it'l purge her so I don't giv much.I giv it mainly at nyt wen I'm tired of breastfeedin&once in d aftanun.As sh grew,I increased d quantity&spoons of milk&milo.Sh refused milk early as in d milk mixed in water but wit d tea,sh's gettin d milk.I prefer milo 2ovaltin cos milo contains more nutrients(read wot's written on theirpack/tin)&is less sugary but wen sh got 2a year,I switched 2complan.Pls don't add sugar 2her tea ok?

k4kenny: Hello parents in the house. There has been lots of questions regarding baby food, I stumbled upon this thread in d food section. I bet it'll answer lots of our questions regarding baby food .

@bunlizlaw
Rotavirus isn't given in general hospitals, just private ones at an extra cost. My hospital costs 6500 for d vaccine and 7000 for pneumococcal conjugate. Other vaccines not offered in GH are chicken pox (12k at my hosp.) and yellow fever. That long queue at GH was too irritating for M̶̲̅ε̲̣ jare, had to switch to private

Chicken pox 12k? I paid 3500 at govt hospital.Don't rememba payin 4yellow fever.Paid 5500 for Rotavirus.Didn't giv pneumococcal cos my paed said its not necessary since d baby is not a sickler&DPT covers d chest s**ts.If u go early&get numba,u don't hav 2queue up 4immunization.I trust govt hospital vaccines cos they hav steady light&their cold chain system is deck.Pls ask ur paed if u can stil giv rotavirus vaccine at dis age cos its vry vry important.My baby neva stooled 4one day&wen d baby starts sch,any child dat's infected wit d rotavirus,sh won't contact I gues

debbie: Mummys in the house,thanks for your assistance! You women are really great,God will bless you all..I have started giving my 6months girl guinea corn and she likes it,though at times I will have to force her to eat it.
My question is how can I introduce rice to her,Is there rice flour? Or I should try meshed rice for her as I intend to be giving her home made food for now.
How can I be giving her fruits? What are the processes involved.
Please I need suggestions.Thanks

Cook ur rice 2b soft then blend it 2gether wit fish(afta rmeovin d bones).Also blend ur fruits.Mash d banana.Blend d pineapple&apple.Sh can tak d watermelon lik dat cos its soft&kids lik dat a lot but rememba 2remov d seeds.At dis stage,u hav 2blend&mash evrythng til sh's older.Also try potato.They usually lik it

Forget medical texts.We're talkin frm experience here.Drs don't knw it al.My own baby brings out rashes while teethin;each&evry single one of her teeth til now.I use rising powder&atimes piriton cos it itches her.My nieces used 2hav boil wen teethin&my collegue's children used 2hav cough&once the teeth erupts d gum,al these symptoms just go away

ify's world:
Hi all. @Omogemi and itsmelex. I don't have a first hand experience on Nta and Umafor. But its always associated with babies being fussy, restless, feverish, inadequate weight gain and weight loss. Mostly, de diagnosis is made by de herbalist.

My frnd said Nta is Marasmus in english&is protein-energy malnutrition&d symptoms u described isn't wot I read up.If her baby isn't addin weight&there's no underlyin medical condition,then sh shld look at her family or husbnd's family&d d baby's diets.Local foods might not b enuf&how often does sh or her nanny feed d child.My sister&her husbnd ar so so slender so their children ar always thin but vry vry vry brainy.They tak d most expensive foreign milk&cereals so let ur dr advice her

slim05: Thanks everyone, I have come again oh, please what do i use for colic pain for a 6 weeks old baby, he's uncomfortable, added to the cold and stuffy nose. I feel for my baby seriously. He's on my back now seems like that works but I can't back him all night.

Colic pain has no medical remedy.Just lie d baby facin dwn on ur lap.He'l sleep off then wen he's sleepin at nyt,lie him on his tommy&mak sure he/sh burps afta suckin.

pretty trust: Pls house I need urgent response,my 7mths baby is having serious rashes all over her body expecially her face in it is inching her I don't no wat to use and some pple said it is becos of her teething dt it will go but am really confuse if she is reacting to somtin

My baby's teethin coms wit rash&fever.I giv her 2.5mls (wen sh was below 1yr) of piriton mornin&nyt cos it can b crazy itchy&i giv ibuprofen 4d fever.It gets betta afta 4-5days.U just hav 2wait it out.I also apply RISING powder 2her skin.It helps wit d rash too

slim05: Hi everyone, my 6 weeks old baby has had cold, stuffy nose for about 2 weeks now and sleeping at night is always uncomfortable, we went to d hospital and we were given vitamin c, can I use otrivine nasal drops for him?

I'l rather advice u 2do steam inhalation wit silverbird ointment&b givin d vit C.It'l clear wit tym&patience

adetunrayo: Hi sweet mothers,quite a while.my issue is about my 4 months baby prefaring 1 bosom to d other.I noticed this when she was a month plus.Now she doesn't want 2 suck the right breat @ all except d left.This has made d bosom smaller than d other, plus low milk productn.I just want 2 know if there is no side effect.I guess I hav been used 2 d left bosom too.I we equally want 2 know what else I could do 2 increase my milk prod. It just 2 low,I tried 2 support with formular cos my baby isn't satisfy.thanks

My own problm was worst than urs.Wen sh was born,sh refused 2suck d breast so I was expressin&givin wit feeder whch wasn't easy then wen sh turned 6wks,sh started suckin.Afta a while,sh refused suckin d right breast no matter wot we did so dat one dried up.If I tel ppl I breastfed dis chick for a 14mths wit only d left breast,they don't believe although I started supplementin wen I resumed work but sh took only BM once I was back frm work.2increase my milk flow,I used 2tak a lot of fluid:Malt,kunu&water (kunu especially whch made me gain a lot of weight esp around d tommy)&so on.So wen d breast is 2full&d baby is sleepin,I'l express&store in d fridge so one breast eventually served a purpose so don't beat urself up.These kids won't frustrate us at al.These's always a way out

saintchyco: i hear that plans has been concluded to give it to GHANA and massive rigging is going on right now
also people are creating false id as nigeria to rig in favor of other country


NAIJA we most do everthing possible to make nigeria win

Let Ghana do wot they can 4their country rep 2win dis year.Afta al;SA did theirs last yr&dat tongue-tied-low life-cursing n**gar won.I was so pissed off cos dat Keagan didn't worth winnin.Angelo is even betta than him.If Ola&Chris had stayed,they wud hav won.Abeggi off 2work.Wil comment in d nyt.Goodmornin Naija.Do somthng useful wit ur life

Ironi: This is a stupid competition , if your country has a big population then you continue to win.

Na wa o

Pls don't showcase ur ignorance.If u don't watch d show or knw anythng abt votin,don't comment

Chillisauce: I didn't watch the show this yr but be sure Ghana is gonna take it. Bigbrother knows how to manipulate votes.

Ghana has never won it and has very high subscription of DSTv.


Ama bet my 10 kobo , it's going to Ghana.


Ama also vote for Ghana.

Good country with good ppl.


Nigerians don't be selfish and vote for Ghana.


ROA vote for Ghana .
They deserve it

Walai,I'm suspectin d same thng too that Biggy might giv d grand prize 2Ghana

ghettodreamz: WORD... But does it change anything? I guess no, I think it's all about an individual's preference and values. TV is not a life for me, I would rather channel those precious time to doing something worthwhile; rather than just sitting wasting precious time at the TV screen watching some indecent show. Time once lost can't be regained, time is money.

D show doesn't hav naked scenes.They don't even show shower or s*x scenes unless u subscribed 4VIP.Al u ppl dat can afford 2subscribe 4BBA shld stop bn judgemental&keep ur opinions 2urselves&live ur boring lives&stop callin BBA watchers idle minds cos u ain't betta than d ppl dat watch d show neither do u mak more money than them.Simple

henchyk: Please give us better things to talk about than this BBA nonsense. I don't even see why a normal human being who calls himself a normal human being will decide to sit down for hours to watch other peoples' lives. Why don't they watch your own life? Besides, don't you have a life to live? I don't understand it and I probably never will. Some call it entertainment but please what kind of stupid entertainment involves two mature people having sex together on continental TV, watched mostly by minors who the show admittedly isn't for. But then How many parents regulate what their children watch? My point is that this show is doing a lot more harm to our general society than good, it is even making our already jobless youths more jobless and useless than they would care to admit, and the earlier it is stopped for good, the better for all of us. Infact, Big Brother Africa is proof that an entire continent can be outrageously stupid at the same time. God help us.

U mustn't comment plsss.Som self-righteous human beings shld shut d f**k up&go sit in d front seat of their church/mosque.U ain't one quarter betta than BBA watchers&multi choice made it optional dat if u want 2watch BBA,u shld txt Yes&ur pin to a code so plssss say wot u knw.FYI,those who watch it,hav jobs&if anyone wanna watch it 247,It ain't ur god-damn business&d show is rated 18&there's somthng called parental guidance&PG code if u hav a DSTV.Its because of ppl lik u dat made NCC cancel Big brother Nigeria whch was d height of big brother.Mshwwwe

Airforce1: Are u threatening me?
You should be afraid of me

ar u d priest in Okija shrine?

aro1: Avin sex wit dat s.a dick..naija no dey shame.Bleep!

wot's d difference? U guys wil stil go 2SA&marry grandmothers ova there just 4papers so y d noise

johnstar: C as gals full dis thread , na 'em dey kuku watch am pass , na d angelo b dat So hu go come dey f**k dat b|tch nw

Pls keep ur mouth in ur pocket.If u can't afford 2subscribe 4BBA or buy DSTV mobile,don't com here&form.Y ar u on dis trend wen u don't watch d show?

THE AMAKA: LOL girl please. All over the internet? Nice try. The same girl that said to Angelo yesterday why after one month he still doesn't wanna give in. the same Beverly that said last night that she is PMSing. Ok sha.
As for bathtub sexx, hope you're spreaking from experience.

U'r right on point dear.Angelo even said on stage wen IK asked him y he&Bev fought on Sat nyt&he said Bev said its bn a mth +&he stil doesn't want them 2do it but he declined cos he promised his mum he won't do it in d BBA house

THE AMAKA: I believe you're the one being fooled here. I watched the video and did not see any penetration. Funny enough, this is the first time i'm hearing this "pregnancy pill" talk. Where do you watch your BBA? Don't create rumors for the hell of it, because i can see right through you.

On BBA website,the administrator said they did it.Although frm dat video,d position&environment wil mak penetration&thrustin impossible&this is my ist tym of hearin abt Bev askin 4pregnancy pills too.I'm just sad 4Bev cos sh was a good Naija rep even more fun than Melvin but dat video has slandered her name out here&changed a lot of ppl's opinions abt her.Even on BBA website,they said sh's d 1st Naija rep 2hav s*x in d BBA house.Anyway I wish her d best joor.Let d best man win

usbcable: as much as i dislike her and her winning.

Beverly may end up winning

hypothetically;

RSA may vote for her because of Angelo
Ethiopia may vote for her b/c of Bimp
Nigeria may vote for herb/c of Denrele's army of voters(na theory ooooooo)

so she already has 3 country votes out of a possible 15 and she may still end up winning another country to ganner 4 votes

I doubt that.If ur dat's d case. Angelo wud hav won Nigeria's vote.D whole sex thng just destroyed her chances&Angelo cam on stage again 2say,wen IK asked him,dat they fought on Saturday nyt cos Beverly wanted dem 2hav s*x&he declined cos he promised his mother he won't f**k in d BBA house.Did he hav 2wash their dirty linen in public?

Temismith: Angelo was d only competetion melvin had in d house, now he is out. Naija will hav to decide on whom to vote for between melvin and beverly. Its going to be a long week for poor beverly since her 2 husbands r gone.

Dillish is a stronger competetion frm my own point of view
