I know I've asked before but I've forgotten, biko what is the least sweet cereal you know. My baby does not like sugar at all. Is there any cereal that has a sour cheesy or tangy taste or atleast is not too sweet. My mum said I should buy Nutrend cuz it's not too sweet but I haven't seen it in all the shops I've checked, I don't know if they are still selling it in Lagos. please any other suggestions or who knows where I can find nutrend. I cant pack August secrets as her 4 meals at the Creche. cheesy

It's not hunger. Just spoilt behaviour, even when they suck, they fall asleep before 5 mins sef grin



I know its not hunger, 5 mins is even too much, sometimes one minute and she's off, as if she just wanted to wake me up

Giddyperson:
lol, my hubby is the judgina in question here, the few times I've tried to breastfeed while lying down he would wake up and start saying, what if the breastmilk enters her ear, what if your boobs cover her nose and she stops breathing, what if what if what if, I'd just get tired and sit up or he would carry her and rock her till she cries herself to sleep, either way both of us never get any much sleep. But it's not even about that again, I want to teach her to start sleeping through the night. I'm tired.

Just like other moms suggested, breastfeed her while lying down for the sake of your sanity. I did that with all my children. I enjoy good night sleep with no issues.

Here’s what I do.

1: I co sleep. I had to alter our lying position to achieve what I want. I created a space for him close to the wall with the bed frame leaning on the wall.
2: No light. I don’t on my light. I use the light from my tv ( it’s on energy saving mode). I train them to sleep without light once I get home from the hospital.
3: No smile, no play. While changing diaper if need be, I don’t smile, talk or play with my baby at night. I avoid noise and put you back to sleep once i’m through.
4: I follow their cue. As Babies, my children don’t like being covered except if it’s extremely cold. 0 to 3 months, I wear them onesie and overall for bedtime. As they get older, I dress them according to the weather and try to regulate the temperature of the room.
I let them sleep on their tummy. There are babies that’ll keep waking up until you let them sleep on their tummy. Yes, there are natural tummy sleepers even oyibo people know that.
When they are 0 to 15 days, I lie him on his sides. 15 days upward, I lie him on his tummy.

I’v done this with all my children and they start sleeping through the night once I wean them off the breast. I breastfeed while lying down and can say for sure that it’s not difficult to stop.
If my baby is wide awake in the night, I leave him to play alone and continue my sleep. Most times he goes back to bed within minutes and I sometimes use my legs to cross the side so he won’t roll over without my knowledge.
There’s nothing on the bed where he lies and the bedsheets is well tucked in. My room is well ventilated too.

Thanks, my baby likes sleeping on her tummy too, as soon as you lay her on her back, she'd roll over on her tummy and keep sleeping, doesn't stop her from waking up so often tho, we don't use light too, I try not to cover her but her dad is obsessed with keeping her warm even when I dont think she's cold, I'm waiting until he grows tired of that one.

[quote author=Giddyperson post=61779856] I doubt it's hunger o cuz I've tried feeding her plenty pap just before bed time, didn't stop her from waking up in an hour. I sha tried hunniesuzzie's style last night and I slept better than I have in a long time, Hubby even c





to prevent her from chocking on the breast, what I do with my Son is to lift him and put him on my arm and put the closest breast in his mouth and then I go down a little that way, I am not directly opposite him the breast wee just look like v .I.e the tip is up and the breast holder is slightly down.den I wee sleep off and wake up later to find him sleeping so I just adjust him to sleeping position.

U can stop the cerelac... Or try another variant of cerelac (my dd has always been on the mixed rice+veggies variant with no issues)
Nutribom is nice... Never heard of any baby reacting to it.

I think you can blend rice cripsies, shreddies or weetabix.

No sugar.

Yes they are adult-y cereals but they have only one ingredient and have no added sugar or salts

If you can give pap! These are no different in my opinion.

No clue sorry, my baby doen't like sweet things but for some reason ADORES Cerelac. It's weird but who am I to question preference? Because of that we've never used any other cereal

Don't think Nutrend exists anymore

Try Heinz cereals it has a tangy taste.

This used to work for us (mixing of d drugs with milk or tea but now she could differentiate d taste of plain milk and one mixed...I even had to put inside her favourite amala and okro yesterday but she still felt d drug inside and spat everyting out..I seriously dunno how to give her drugs again....she's 18months

Our current situation and my baby just clocked 5 months on Monday. If you put a drop of drug in150mls of formula, she will know and won't eat it. That means we have to struggle with every other meal for that day. Thank God that she's not a sickly child.

She used to love Heinz 4+ months but it made her poo green so we had to stop. Don't know if she wont have the same reaction with the 6 months cereals.

You have to take all 4, you can't split it. If you read well and depending on your background/style of assimilation you can pass without study centre. I never went to study centre and I didn't have issues (1 resit in Inter 1 sha). Let me know your location so I can advise the nearest study centre to you

Modified: I see Naomi14 has settled your questions. All the best


Tanx. I tried clicking on d lagos study centers bt nothing showed...pls,I stay around isolo,any close?
