Graciouscharis:
Have you tried using syringe without the needle? You put it inside the mouth on the inner part of the cheek and release it gradually.

I will try it. Thank you!

@Twogreatnations_ thanks for the tips, tried it but didn't work as the drug(antibiotics) is so concentrated she knew the difference.

Twogreatnations:
Hehehe, welcome to my world before before o. The only way my babes will take a drug without throwing it up is: I make small formulae( a bit creamier) with oats, and mix the drug, then give them . Put little food in the spoon , then put a bit of the drug using a dropper in the same spoon , then feed as though he is eating. That's what works for me. Speedy recovery to your Lo

NB; You might use the cereal he loves more to do it.

Thanks. Not sure how this would work for us as she currently doesn't accept food except formula. I will try with formula. Thank you

Good evening mamas. Please I need tips/tricks to administering drug to lo. She throws it all up...

Good afternoon mamas. Pls is there any one in Uyo who knows am affordable baker? Pls help me with contact.

4 spoons formula + 1 spoon gerber rice = 150mls of water..... That's the way I mix it.

i think you should reduce the milk or give enough water afterwards

Hi Moms, I started my baby on Gerber rice (supported sitter) on Saturday (her 4 months birthday). I mix 4 or 5 spoons of aptamil with 1 spoon of gerber rice and she's taking it relatively well. Now the challenges are
1. she's yet to have a poo and she poops everyday or on alternate days. I've started alternating formula and mixed food (formula+solid) since midnight and even gave her 30mls of water to induce poop. what else can i do?
2. I use tommee tippee bottles and the mixture of aptamil and gerber is not flowing well at all. I even repierced the holes on 3 bottles again, yet no improvement, she's getting frustrating sucking the bottles. The munchkin latch bottles that I have are better off but I only have 2 that came with the sterilizing unit. Does tommee tippee teat size 3 have bigger holes or where can I get latch bottles to buy in lagos?
3. How do I feed her when I increase the ratio of solid to formula? she's starting creche soon and using spoons and bowl is more susceptible to germs.

4 or 5 spoons of milk and 1 spoon of cereal to what mls of water? For the bottle, would have said you should cut with a scissors instead of piercing, but at 4 months the flow may be too much.

Mamas how are we doing? Im so upset with this MFA people ordered for diaper since Aug 30th still haven't received it. Called them twice they said its already in Nigeria but not ready for pick up now my baby's diaper is almost finished. Can't go and buy expensive one here then they will now call me saying its ready for pick up.

Sorry.... Mine was delivered in a wrong state... I had to buy a small pack of 8 pieces pending when I receive it

[quote author=olamitie post=60465088][/quote]there's this palm oil and sugar treatment. Experienced mamas will provide more info. I think the baby can, just ensure its not too sweet-a-biscuit

There's a mama that asked about combing baby's hair. Can't remember your moniker and I was lazy to type that day. I want to share a tip and I hope you get to read this.
Get a spray bottle, add some water and oil (coconut, olive, castor). You can use one or combination of oil. Anytime you need to comb the hair, spray the mixture, detangle with your hand and comb. It's a lot easier that way. However, there are ready made detangler, if you prefer to buy.

enque:
nobody buy formula from MFA??

aptamil is around 7700 on the page and I have a supermarket that sells for 7300 very close to me.

Eminya:
Mall for Africa mama's I have a few qeustion o, do I need to download the app? How do shop on the site? there are a lot of stores on the app, which do I use? Thanks for the answers cos I know I will get them
cc Enque Akorkor Jazzyjazz Naomi14

use the web page not app. http://grocerydirect.mallforafrica.com/
The page is easy to manover

jazzyjazz:
That depends on the wipe you're currently using.
I use cussons 3 in 1 wipes and it's 750 here. That means it's 150 wipes total
The cheapest wipes on mfa is pampers and it's 4 packs of wipes in a pack and it's about 1500

I still plan to buy the wipes sha. I want to see if it's the same as the one they sell in naija

the asda wipes is 3300 thereabout (much cheaper at checkout) for a pack of 12*64.

@spiceamiee like other mamas have said. Ask around for a creche that provides daily services. There was a time I had a presentation and nobody was available, taking her there wasn't even an option. I had to go that route and we were fine. Pele

jazzyjazz:
I was going to buy wipes but I did my calculations and discovered that the one I buy is still cheaper by maybe 50 Naira
But I'll buy wipes with my next order

for the bulk wipes, I think it's actually cheaper o.

Thanks jazzyjazz and Naomi14

MFA shoppers, what other thing have you found to be reasonably priced aside the diaper and wipes?

Yes, got a mail too. Thanks.

jazzyjazz:
Okay
Looks like they have started shipping items again as the last one I ordered has been shipped

jazzyjazz:
BTW 10 to 15 days

ok thanks. It's still within range

jazzyjazz:
Tips for other mama's planning to buy from mall for Africa, their orders are being delayed due to hurricane Irma. So it's best to wait till after the hurricane before you place orders

I already placed order. How many weeks roughly did it take?

Damisinto:
Thanks ma, please how much is it and what day of the week

it was 7500 in dec/jan. Wednesday

Akorkor:
Thanks. @liftedhands, thank you too. Am going to pediatrician tomorrow. I can't shout. Although my mum said is teething poo but anyhow doctor go tell us what's up. Will give you guys update tomorrow by Gods grace

Is your lo feeding well?

Damisinto:
Morning mamas, any idea of where to get 6 weeks rota vaccine at ibadan?

UCH

Thanks enque and jazzyjazz for the response.

All ye mallforafrica shoppers please I have some questions. Do they deliver nationwide? For the asda little angel diaper selling for 2800 plus, how many pieces is in there? Thanks for the replies

joshipura:
pls i need help! my child is three months plus, she is exclusively breastfed but recently stopped feeding well therefore not adding weight. i want to introduce Friso gold rice to her but still confused on which formula milk to add for her to support breastmilk.

The fact that she isn't sucking well, are you sure she would accept something else? At 3 months, all the baby needs is milk. If you want to introduce formular, then it depends on how much you can afford.

ambient - green poo sometimes is due to inSufficient feeding. Is your lo feeding well?

blackFTM:
Mamas please I need your help. My son will be 5 months next week and I had started sitting him up like 3 weeks ago but he is yet to sit with his back straight. When ever I sit him down, he usually bend and try sucking his socks. Is this normal, won't his back get bent? Please teach me the right way to go about this sitting stuff...thank you so much

I think he is not ready to be put in that position. Don't force it, baby will sit when he is ready.

Chanbaby:
Pls does any mama give their lo Aptamil. Pls what can u say about the milk. A friend of mine just told me that most children react to it. That it caused rashes all over her nephews body. That she knows of 2other babies that have reacted to it. Hubby said he want it for his baby. I want SMA gold that I can easily see here.

i do and no episode of rashes

Liftedhands:
I'm good sis how are you and dd?

we are fine thank you.

Liftedhands my teamie before before. How are you doing?

Damisinto:
Hello senior mummyz. Kindly help a FTM with these questions
1) My two weeks + baby prefers sleeping on his back instead of his sides as we were told at the hospital, yes I pad his sides well to ensure he doesnt turn but he feels so uncomfortable till I remove the side guards and sleeps better. How dangerous is it?

2) he streches A LOT, he doesnt cry while stretching though but I just feel its too much for his age as he does it like an adult. What could be the cause or is it normal?

Thank you all for your prompt response

sleeping on the back is the preferred option so it's not dangerous. Stretching is also normal so no worries.
