Thanks alot mama dis helps a great deal.
I can puree potatoes. Abi.
Or i shud just leave out root crops for now n jus give pureed fruits


I never gave my baby pap, or any of the various pap combinations. Whether corn, millet or guinea corn, with soya, with crayfish, or any other variation.

We only did formular and mashed/ purreed foods from 6 months plus, so there are LOADS of stuff you can give. Including modifications of the normal food you eat at home.

In fact i gave pap for the first time like 3 weeks ago. Now my dd eats well and takes almost everything but she absolutely hated it. so i dont understand why so many people reccommend it.?

Now that we are one.... ( yippeee!!!) I have brought out the Nido milk. And sippe cup. I have given myself one month to phase out all feeding bottles.

You can mash or puree almost anything. You can start with sweet potato before you introduce irish potato and yam.

Let me give you a list of some of my tried and tested menus..... yes i kept a record of our meals and combinations. And will keep the book like a treasure. .


●beans and ripe plantain pottage ( no oil, and pass through a wire mesh sieve with a spoon to remove the skins)
●Avocado and egg yolk
●Yam and fish with small butter ( with spinach and/or garden egg as an option)
●Ripe plantain and fish/meat/poultry
●Pureed mango, banana or other fruit.( either plain or with baby rice to add bulk)
●amala with blended okra soup with fish
●sweet corn, beetroot and chicken
● yam pottage ( remove before adding oil and pepper and maggi)
● Beans and sweet potato.
●carrot, sweet corn and cabbage purree wih small knob of butter.
● Pasta with mince meat sauce ( or stew with meat- blend afterwards just omit pepper and spices.- you can make her own stew/ sauce seperately and combine with "soggy rice or pasta. ) i also find mixing pasta and rice with maybe carrot/sweet corn/other veggie puree help with not making it too tomato-ey.

Note: You may need to add some water while pureeing or blending to get the right texture. If it is too dry, your dd is likely to refuse it.

Dont be scared of adding too much water... if it turns out too watery, add a bit of baby rice or boiled irish potato to thicken it back up. It wont change the taste.


So dearie, there is more to weaning than frisco gold and pap!
Good luck.

Rofemiguwa, let me make a confession to you: almost all the mothers didn't give pap because their babies refused it. I tasted the pap-soy-crayfish-milk version and I gagged, it was so nasty-tasting. So we stopped trying to make her eat it. A lot of the mums I asked, would mention pap because that is the expected answer to "what is a good local weaning food?". We only drank pap after 1, when i added some sugar and milk and served with akara.

Madam thou art nigerian, why have a pet chicken....
My rule of thumb, it cant be a pet if it can be BBQ'd.


But on a more serious note anything that you know you dont want kids to eat or drink should be kept on the top shelf! I.e only reachable by an adult standing.... i kent fit for story!

I have always Spoon fed with water from a cup. Even cereals is fed with a spoon.

Only milk goes into a feeding bottle. - my personal preference.

You forgot to mention the great deal of work involved in making pap from scratch.

Soaking the corn, blending and then filtering through a mesh, et al.

I'm not surprised your daughter hates it. You've already exposed her taste buds to varied tasty, sumptuous meals (I'm loving all your meal choices) and then you bring in pap. You sef grin grin

Good evening wonderful mothers. @deyoola, my lo also had d eye discharge thing which resolved we tried several things but finally resolved when he was 3 months. My suggestions are: get normal saline (drip) and clean cotton wool and clean as much as possible may be even 3 hours daily. Also try punctal massage : massage the area where the inner eyes touches the upper part of the nose using strokes from the inner eyes down to the side of the nose. You can do like 5- 10stokes thrice daily. Ensure you wash your hands before doing this. This is to ensure free flow of eye fluid so that it can drain into the body. Also it will prevent accumulation of water in the eyes that can become infected and then discharges.
I hope it helps



Thnks ma,I really appreciate ur contribution. I will abide with it.

Sorry for asking did silly question but I want to know how I will be able to start solid and how to know my ds is filled. I started giving solid yesterday (two egg yolk) he kept on eating then vomited everything and went back to his precious breastfeeding milk.
I just to know how many spoonfuls should I start with because he is always opening his mouth and I don't know when to stop.
