Lactogen is good
I used it in the early days but my son consumed Nan 1 more so we went back to Nan 1
I would settle for Lactogen then... Thanks ma.

Not necessarily.
You'll have to do this assignment yourself.
When next you go shopping for baby milk, check the nutritional information and compare. You can take pictures too and we'll compare together.
At the end of the day, each brand has its own secret weapon: could be additional trace elements, more vitamins, presence of probiotics, less sugar, most like breastmilk, size of the tin, quality of the container.
Alryt ma, thanks...


phewww!!! wish I can do EBF for one year!!! iyam not crying, blame it on spiceeamiee onions.

It's what you can afford and if he will accept it. Why not start from low to high to see which he will take well. There are kids who took lactogen and doing excellently. Just feed him right that's all.
Benignasweety:
Plz @all maamas I have a question and I sure would appreciate swift answers thanks wink

Plz those formulas for lesser amounts like My boy 1400, Lactogen 1550. Does it mean they have lesser nutrients when compared to Nan 2100, Sma gold 3300 and all other expensive formulas.. Abeg I want the best for my son, I no go wan settle for Lactogen but yet my baby is lacking a lot of nutrients. Thank you all.

Is he eating well at d creche?
If yes, u can Ask them to do a video of one of his meal sessions at the creche and show u so u can see what they are doing differently..
U never really know

Yes. You're right. They told me he eats willingly without being forced
I'll request for the CCTV of his feeding hours for last week.
God bless you for this

hello mamas.
my boy is 7weeks old, he has been very fine since his arrival. he is exclusively breast fed(ebf). our worry is that he last pooped one week ago, and we are very disturbed.
some say its normal for ebf babies to stay days without going to the toilet, we are taking him to the Dr.
please share your experience if you have dealt with such experience.
thanks.

Mine went up to 8 or 9 days withour poo, mehn I was super worried to the extent I went to the hospital and after laughing at us in the hospital the dOctober wrote a drug for us to buy but the matron strongly adviced against it so we decided to wait 1 more day..but she finally pooped that night...don't worry so much, he will poo...

He's fine. No need to the hospital. BM is the perfect meal so nothing much to excrete

Jazzyjazz enque's suggestion is perfect. The food my baby finishes in crèche he uses me to make Shakara at home. Check that then you can plan action

Benignasweety so far the formula is on the shelf, with NAFDAC number and not expired, it has what baby needs. It's all the extra stuff plus cost of importation for imported formula that drives up the price

Zaynie how is our baby?

For the cough, grate ginger, add in hot water, add honey and lime juice. Drink slightly hot.
Instant relief.



Bloomingbud, no feedback? Did the mixture work?

For the cold. Use paracetamol and vitamin c, lots of fruits and you can do steam inhalation.

Ahhh sorry mama, I thought I gave feed back o, cos it worked like magic I used it morning and night for 2 days and cough and catarrh was conquered. Thank you ma.

So tested and trusted now.
Ginger, honey and lime juice for cough.
Personally I don't use this mix for my kids cos I'm not too sure they will accept it. I've never used it for my kids.
I use the palm oil and sugar for them


For catarrh for adult o, I use mint leaves, fresh or dried (no need to enter Spar, all these mallam that sell salad stuff sell it too, boil water, pound the leaves including the stalk and put in the hot water, allow to steep, sieve and add honey. Drink and watch the catarrh fly away, cap it with vapor rub on the bridge of your nose. kiss

Yes ma he's on Exclusive and he eat well and soak diapers well, just kind of worry and I notice he's running temperature too, planing to take him back to d hospital

Exclusively fed babies don't poop often...if he's soaking up diapers with wee, then he's fine. As for the rumbling, it's nothing jare...newborns av plenty things that scares new mums.

Talking of running temp, did you use a thermometer? Are you sure he's not overly wrapped with thick shawl and others? The weather is pretty hot so try reduce the layers...only a onesie and flannel is ok

Today's breakfast. For the whole family.

Oats with raisins and banana.

Add raisins either whole or chopped to oats before cooking.
Add chopped / sliced bananas after cooking.

Add milk

Serve.

Great for the whole family. No need for sweeters.

For babies under 1 year, chop raisins before adding or blend afterwards if required - add formula

For babies above 1 year - you may want to chop the raisins before adding add mormal full cream milk.

For older children and adults, whole raisins are fine. Normal milk, you can also add a spoon of ground flaxseed to make itn extra healthy

Have a blessed sunday and a great week ahead

Adding blue berries or strawberries makes it taste even more heavenly!!!!

Or Pap. Plain without milk or any sweeteners.
Bananas (not mashed), pineapple,pawpaw and watermelon(without the seeds) sliced or diced, oranges without the seeds please, bread, pancakes, puffpuff, donuts, boiled egg, fried eggs, plain white rice with butter.
Anything they can hold on to. You'll be surprised at how much they eat on their own. U

I have been using the excuse that she ain't up to 6month yet meanwhile she's 6months 2weeks...I actually observed that her appetite has reduced drastically... she only demand for bre5t like once in 2 to 3 hours unlike b4 where she takes like 2wice in 2hours...sometimes if she stays up to 3hrs and hasn't demanded I will pick her and pin her to the boobs but I only end up been bitten with toothless gums...in fact I envy all those maamas that their los came with eating anointing... I think mine came with playing anointing, she can play on behalf of Africa...

I only started giving her water which she takes very well...she isn't sick in any way, sleeps and plays as usual... its just this eating that is giving me cause to worry...

Hello Sis.
Just to add to this.

The people at Creche are most likely being truthful.
He will eat whatever they give him because he has no choice.

But with you, he has plenty choices.

My girl does not take pap from me again.
Even golden morn is just manage manage.

But you need to see her guzzling adult food. I dey fear kwanu. Honestly, she cries and throws tantrums that I should focus on Feeding her MY food.
She now wants to eat anything I eat.

So I think you should try something else, something new.
I don't think there's more to be worried about.

Happy Sundaywink

try what mummy zaynie said,i am sure he will eat one of those.
have you tried beans and fish mashed together?mashed ripe plantain porridge or mashed rice with banana.
At times too,it can be a phase. also,check whether he is bringing out new tooth,it can affect their appetite.

The acalypha flower is a very common plant. Some people plant it to decorate the front of their houses. I'm quite sure you must have seen it before only you didn't know the name of the plant and it's medicinal uses.
Ask around or you can buy from the herb sellers.
Google for red acalypha images so you have more views of what it looks like.

I give him boiled eggs, banana and orange juice. He takes the orange juice but won't take the egg much and he doesn't like banana. I give him masked potato too. But he doesn't like to self feed. I try several times. He will only play with the food
He also eats bread and biscuits
The day he fed himself the biscuit he threw up. Maybe he put too much in his mouth
