Mamas in the House, so sorry this dad is probing in here, but i would like to have Food suggestions for my 11months girls.
They love their cereals but i feel its time to load them with some real food.

PS:
They have been taking mashed Potatoes with butter, occasionally amala and Semo (thanks to their grand ma), also egg yoke.

Abeg o i need suggestions.

Thank you

Give them whatever you are eating. If you feel it's too hard for them then mash or purée it but at 11 months they can eat pretty much anything

Awesome @Onegai. Thanks babe

I am in Lagos. It was a private pool (in family house). Ikoyi club has a baby pool so if you know a member, they can take you in. I heard on the mainland, Sunfit gym has a pool and I used to hear about Alaka estate having a swimming place.

you can get a pool noodle (those long colorful things, they are at Ikoyi club but I'm sure you can buy them at the Sports stores in Ojuelegba), I like them better than floaters. And follow this video (my sis used it and it works on building their confidence in water).

Pool noodles are N700 at Game and the swim diapers are in Balogun or you can get off Aliexpress. The floater costs more and deflates easily plus it ia not sized well, the pool noodle helps them use their legs and they will definitely splash water withe their hands. Start by putting baby with water in ther bathtub so they like splashing. HTH.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (that's d name). Unfortunately my dear no cure for it. It comes and goes on its own. In some pple it last for up to 6months after pregnancy and for others one year. It's very uncomfortable but don't worry it will go with time. A friend uses wrist brace. She wears it on her wrist and says it helps.

U can read this for more info about it.

And who said powder is not good for babies? since it is the face ensure u bath ur baby with lukewarm water keep proper hygiene and apply any Good TALC power available. Even at 6months ideally I should introduce ur baby to family diet!

I do not think its best to use talc powder as there appears to be evidence to suggest it causes cancer.

See the link below.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-35648252

Talc powders are also linked to respiratory problems.

If you must use powder at all, then use non-allergic ones made from corn starch.

Hiccups is normal o. My MiL said its cos the stomach is expanding....I dont know if its true lipsrsealed.
In the tummy, during the day your wife was active and her going back and forths rocked your baby to sleep, at night when your wife was still and asleep the baby more active . Now that he is out, he is still used to the style. In about a month or so, he will readjust.


Powder with cornstarch.....Boots.
cc happymama.
I use boots and rising raving ( really good for rashes), i dont apply directly. First I put on my palm and let the 'dust' settle away from my LO. With my fingers, I apply little by little.
I use it only once daily. At night.

Dr quack angry you've brought me out of my sabbatical leave with this your comment here, powder is not to be used on babies below six months of age and if one must it shouldn't be used on the FACE! Because of TALC.

TTC mothers have chased you out of their Thread with your nonsense comments and you've come here with your kaya! grin please keep your opinion to yourself mother's here know best and we have QUALIFIED doctors and nurse who give meaningful advice so yours is not needed! Please kindly open another thread where whoever needs your service can contact you tongue

Don't forget to put a caveat that they do so at their own risk tongue angry grin

Erm.

What chart did the nurse use in arriving that your baby is on his way to being obese? undecided

My boy was 4.1kg at birth and 5kg+ when he was weighed at 6weeks. Using my health visitor's weight chart, he was within the 95% percentile range for his age.

If your baby is 7.2kg at 14weeks, if anything he should be within his weight percentile (or under) but nowhere close to obesity.

Besides who rants about obesity for a 2months + baby that's being exclusively breast fed? undecidedbDoes she want you to starve him or leave him to cry when he's hungry or put him on a diet plan ? Some nurses sef angry

Chicken pox is usually at a later age, I think from one year. So your baby is still young for that.

Proudmum, when my nephews had Chicken pox, everyone avoided my house, even visitors to them. I didn't tell them, they all decided to (so as not to carry it). You've already gotten good advice but let no-one in your home go visiting downstairs to your neighbour for now.

Thanks ma'am
