Some children r like dt. Reduce the clothing as per no cap, mittens, socks ontop overall (some even wear singlet wth d overall). Only overall is ok. If u wana put on the fan or airconditioner ensure it's d lowest and the fan should nt face baby directly.

Biko I will pm you. I have further questions

enque:


Hallos, i don show cool cool
eheeen, so here is what we do...

fruits - Banana puree, apple puree, avocado puree

cereals - Gerber oatmeal, Nutribom rice, nutribom multigrain, Cerelac (any of their combos), nutribom maize

Home made foods - Plaintain+titus fish puree, Sweet potato+titus fish puree, any other new meal we have tried and she likes.

August secrets nuttymeal, August secrets mixagrain,

Her daily meal is a combination of one or 2 foods food from each of the above groups and then milk (formula) feeds as well.

Example, for today I packed - 2 milk feeds + August secrets Mixagrain + Plantain fish puree + Cerelac.
She had breastmilk very early in the morning B4 we left the house(5.30/6am ish) and then around 8am she will have her mixagrain. Later in the day her nanny rotates the formula feed and other solids for her.
Most days she finishes all her food, but there are days when we have mostly 1 milk feed left, In such a case we take the milk for dinner and then breastfeed all night till the following morning.

I just try to vary her food so she isn't eating the same thing every day.

On the days when we have exhausted our home-made foods, we just do august secrets + cereals + formula feeds.

For cereals I also mix; Cerelac + nutribom or Gerber+cerelac or Gerber+Nutribom

* We try new meals on weekends, so I can see her reaction and how well she takes it. If she likes it, then I incorporate it into her weekday schedule.
*She likes boiled egg yolk, so I give her at nights when we are home (not everyday o), cos i feel it may get spoilt if i have to pack it in the morning and they wait till later to feed it to her.
*Fruit Purees are for snacking, more like an in-between meals kinda thing, cos e no de belleful her again. We also take fruit purees as dinner and then use bre.astmilk to support
*August secret veggie beans is for weekends too. She isn't a fan of it jare so I didnt include it in her weekday schedule.
* I add formula to her August secrets food except veggie beans

Chai! I can't believe all I just typed, e b like project defence speech grin grin

biko, if i remember more tips...i'll let u know jare

Try a different bottle/teat.

Boil the new teat in water for about five minutes to further soften it.

If that doesn't work, it's possible he's tired of NAN. try another milk brand like aptamil or any other reputable brand.

Why not have him stay in a reputable crèche ? I won't really trust a maid/housegirl with a child that young.

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.

Mamas, pls come to my aid, my baby will be going for her 14 weeks immunization next week and I'm already scared cos our experience during the 6 & 10 weeks is not pleasing at all. Her thigh got swollen at both occasions and it took weeks, not days before the swollen part goes down and it has make that part of her thigh to be black maybe cos of the ice I'm putting, I don't understand, the two injections for her 10 weeks was even given to her on one thigh cos the other thigh was still swollen and painful at that time. I always use ice on the spot immediately I discover it's swollen but it doesn't go down on time, the next day it becomes red and more swollen and she cries so much if I mistakenly touch it. Pls mamas what can I do to avoid this same occurrence next week cos presently the thigh she took the injections for 10 weeks is still paining her. Do I need to press very well after injection or what? Pls sabi mamas, come to my aid, don't jump and pass pls
PLEASE DO NOT PRESS AND DO NOT APPLY ICE! DONT! NEVER! pleaseeeee. I wish you had come here to ask before now.

If the thigh is still sore you can push it forward for another week or two.

See if you can ask another personal to administer it incase the previous person hand is "hard".

Give pcm if there's temperature hike and place a wet wash cloth on the injection site.

That thigh may need to be checked out by a doctor if it's still painful as you've said.

I use it and so far, we've not had issues with it. However, each child is unique and might react differently to any formular.

If ur hubby insists that he wants Aptamil, why not buy it for a start and watch how ur LO takes it.
If it's good for him, all well...
If he doesn't like it, then u can push for SMA gold

3 babies out of how ever many your friend may know..... cannot be classified as "most". That is quite an exageration!

The rash could have been caused by something else the child was exposed to that may have coincided with when the aptamil was introduced. The reaction the other babies had what exactly was it? Plus is it the original one they got, Nigeria is notorious for a lot of fake items so i wont rule out that.

I used aptamil follow on milk from when DD was 8 months up to 13months and had no issues with it. It is one of the brands tipped to be one of the better quality ones on the market.

Buy a can from a reputable source and test first before you decide to do larger quantities.

Really? No ice? It was even the pead that advised I put ice so that the swelling will go down, it is well o. I took her to the hospital cos of the pain and hardness, they had to do ultrasound of her thigh and they said everything is fine that with time the hardness will disappear but until now, it hasn't. The person that administered her 6 weeks was different from the 10 weeks own and still the same thing happened, that's why I'm worried.
Thanks so much for your response, I really appreciate.
NO ICE AGAIN

I have been hearing Don't clean their ear for sometimes now but if you obviously see a big dirt , what should we do? Leave it? Clean it? Or allow it to block the ear. Please shed more light because am not understanding

See a big dirt where?

It is impossible to see the inside of an ear (ear drum) without specialist instrument. If there's any ear wax that has pushed out to the outer ear, simply use a flannel or soft face towel and wipe the outer ear.

Check your pack of q-tips/cotton buds. The instructions on it are clear - do not insert in the ear.

If you are concerned about ear wax then take the child to the hospital.

I did combination feeding and I introduced aptamil when my child was around 3 weeks and stopped at 13 months when I introduced cow milk. I had absolutely no issues with it.

Like alphahandmaiden has posted it's possible the rash was due to something else or the milk was fake.

Use pillows to support him all around(front, back, side) and keep him sitted upright. He shouldn't be kept sitting for a long time though. You can also gently massage his back after you're done.

You have to let him rest his back against something soft.
Or a carton that isn't too big. Like indomie carton, pad it with wrappers.
