Claseek, dodo/fried plantain is very suitable. Just remove the hard bits at the edges.

My children don't like fried plantain. Like, they actually dislike it, with extreme prejudice.

So we're getting them DNA-tested because no child of mine hates dodo. These must be some white kids that got switched at birth for my babies. That's the only explanation for this calamity.

My son too won't take plantain in any form. Boiled, roasted, fried so I concluded he took it from his father because me don't try me with plantain I can do anything for it.

Sadly, I've closed my breast milk factory. I was an exclusive pumper so she was largely bottle fed after a while. I stopped around 8 months and switched to 100% formula. I feel she won't be getting enough milk if it's only with cereal that she takes once a day.

greatp80:


My 9 months doesn't even drink formula at all.In fact he doesn't feed from the bottle . So I mix d formula with his cereals. He is still on breast milk.
Try to mix with her cereals, you might increase the quantity.

Rota vaccine is a vaccine that helps to prevent a certain type of diarrhea caused by the Rota virus which can be very virulent.
If your child is pooping as a result of taking the vaccine I would be very cautious because vaccines do revert or mutate.
In diarrhea, what actually kills is the loss of electrolytes from the body and the fastest way to replace lost electrolytes is through IV fluids.
So ORS and Zinc may work but not fast enough.

But I guess he's OK now.

Not to lie, I never took the Rota vaccine because of the fear of it reverting. Even all the ones we took, didn't the kids still fall prey to the pathogens?
We took MMR, my kids had mumps laslas
They also had chickenpox.
So I honestly don't trust our health workers, our prayer is that the kids not be exposed to the really dangerous ones.

Please check with a pead to address your concerns.

If you give your baby an iron supplement, his poop may turn dark green or almost black. This doesn't happen often, but it's a completely normal variation that would make Popeye proud.

One thing: If your baby's poop looks blackish and he's not taking an iron supplement, it's a good idea to call the doctor to make sure it's not melena, or digested blood.

Many thanks. She actually eats Amala and ewedu like 2ce a week. Also rice, beans, Porato - I have to cook and blend all these for her to eat, and mealtime is always crying time oh. Thanks to her nanny that perseveres with feeding her. Can they eat pound yam at this age? 9m. It's only Amala swallow I have tried for her.

Thanks for the link too!


Onegai:


Break out the amala!! Seriously. My child had this issue and we were struggling with cereals. Some kids hate the taste of cereals and formula after a while. My nieces was delighted with Ogbono soup at 8 months

While you treat try to cover with wrapper when you carry baby so it doesn't get worse
It's caused by heat/sweat from skin to skin contact

I introduced cereal after 6 months.i started him on single grain,e.g cerelac rice,frisogold rice, nutribom rice,Gerber rice.etc
Presently,I feed him almost everything I eat well mashed in small quantities coupled with his cereals.
I feed him frisogold rice cereal, sometimes Gerber oat. I tried nutribom multigrain of recent, but noticed that he doesn't really like it.
He also enjoys pap.
There are lots of cereal out there, just look for the one that works for her sha.

Cc. Zay.nie
Flora.EC

And other sabi mamas

Menigococcal conjugate
MMR (measles mumps and rubella)
Varicella (Chickenpox)

some give the mmr together with chicken pox. Its called mmrv

It's mostly private hospitals that administer it at a cost that ranges from 8k and above for each.

Be sure to check the vaccine packaging for expiry date before it is opened. Also, ensure you take it from a reputable hospital that maintains appropriate storage conditions for the vaccines.

i will also encourage you to read up on these vaccines so you will be well guided.

No dear, this is MMR and Chicken Pox vaccines. Before 2 years. Private hospitals tend to jack up prices on vaccines they know Govt isn't giving out (this includes Rotavirus and MengC). They have to make money somehow so I can't really blame them.

Can you pls post your immunisation schedule? The one i have is quite different from the one sourced online.

He just started being a fan of fried plantain at 18months.
