I don't actually go with any ideal thing as such. I just try diff things o. first time, I gave him the avocado alone. next time I mixed it with his moimoi. another time with his mashed potatoes. other times with mashed rice. the nice buttery texture most likely makes it much easier for him to swallow his meals. Just my thoughts sha.

Just try it with some of your baby's meals and see what he/she likes.

Hello dear Cerelac naija is not only maize. It's up 3 varieties. One of d major difference btw cerelac naija and foreign cerelac is d lid of both containers. D naija own has transparent lid and some has normal tin lid. The foreign cerelac has yellow lid all around.

vivigurl:

That green poop may be a sign of food not being digested well by the baby's intestines. It's why you see formula fed babies with green slightly hard poop.

For babies who don't like eating, Can you try something different, not pap or cereal but check online for an entirely new recipe. Babies have tastebuds developing, Baby E has rejected the formula she normally takes and I suspect its because it's bitter compared to my BM. which means that when I start her on solids, I may make that pap but blend maybe a fruit with natural sugars in it (like strawberry or Quaranta local bananas something sweet that is a fruit, Orange isn't sweet). As a child I was the worst eater (the food wasn't sweet but they kept forcing it on me). So my sister used her experiences with me to plan meals for her own kids.

I personally use Nido fortified for my kids. I believe it's better than peak 123.

hi everyone, pls we noticed some rash/pimple like stuffs on our just 2weeks old baby's body, and her crying seems increasing lately... we use ori mixed with skineal to rub body. ....

FexCathy:
Thanks shndy, but which is the rolled oats? Just know of the quick cooking one.

FexCathy:
Abeg mamas, make una answer me this time cos my previous 2 posts, nobody responded . Can I grind normal quaker oats and feed my LO or there is a special oats for babies?

franky2013:
its nothing to worry abt, my LO sprouted her first set of teeth at one

liliana:
Please dear, stop using sudocream. Sudocream is specially formulated for nappy rash and I think it's what is aggravating the issue. It seems to me you have dried out her skin. If you have access to double base gel,you could try using it as it would protect the skin with layers while moisturising it. Then if you use soap to bath her stop using it ( soap sometimes dries out babies skin). Look for an emollient, like oilatum and use instead. It would take time, but it should work.

Goodluck!

Please don't try those creams without a prescription from a paediatrician or dermatologist. At least one of those is a Corticosteroid.

Shawbabe, take your baby to his/her doctor. If you are unsure about what they prescribe or its not working, please go to GH Lagos Island, they have dermatologists there who are specialised in all skin infections.

Mzora:
Do u back your baby a lot

Shawbabe:
Pls who can help me with this? It's on the back of my baby's head, what is it and what can I use to treat it? It itches as well. I have applied Shea butter and baby oil on it. Nothing. It's been there since my baby was 2 months. My baby is 5 months plus now.

Kimoni:
My baby is 6 month and 3 weeks with no tooth, should I be worried?

Of course not! Relax, the teeth just want to come out en-masse

Nita2013:
Totally agree with u. I didn't give my son anything except paracetamol and even d paracetamol sef, at times when he is running temperature I just wear him light clothes and d temperature goes down on its own. It's when I av done d needful and d temperature is still a bit high, I check with thermometer and then I give paracetamol.

ifefunmi:
Right now, people have bin pestering me to give my son piccan and the likes, I just tell ok I have heard. Do I really need to give anything? I am confused o jare

Kimoni:
No, what is happening is very common really. It happened to me and other moms in my daughter 's crèche way back.

She already identifies you as 'mummy' and she knows you are not as stern as the crèche aunties so she takes advantage of it. I am not sure what the solution is but you could get firmer with her during meal times or you can decide to wait this phase out. You could also give her something she loves very much when it's you feeding her.

Arihodo:
tank u 4 this information. my son had catarrh few weeks he was born till now 3months. u need to see him struggling for his breath each time he cries or make attempt to such . u go pity am. i have never heard of salin b4. infect, i am going to put BM for him nose now now even though him dey sleep. i lov this family.

Arihodo:
u sure say na she dey eat dat food for creche? just wondering sha!

Shawbabe:
First of all STOP giving ur baby antibiotics!!!! Dunno why naija Drs are quick to prescribe this for infants?! Catarrh is NOT caused by bacteria but Virus. Naija Drs can be funny.
Buy Saline Drops and drop it in her nose to loosen the catarrh, then suction the mucus out with a nasal suction. It normally comes in the pack of Saline drop u buy.
Then buy Olbas oil and drop in her room or bed...anywhere her nose is when she lies down so she can inhale it. Or drop in hot water and have her inhale. DON'T DROP ON HER SKIN OR INSIDE HER NOSE PLS!
hen buy Piriton syrup for children and give her 0.3ml three times a day. She should be fine in about 3 days.
Pls stop the antibiotics biko!!! All these quack naija Drs and over sabi
