Hello mamas, please can a 5 month old baby be given Nan wit Cowbell chocolates as tea?
Including other foods like
Cornflakes
Golden morn
Quaker oats
Swallow.

Tnx all

Quaker oats should be blended into a fine powder and can be made into porridge or swallow.
No to cornflakes, golden morn (only from 3yrs) and tea


Oga what's the update on the ear issue you raised before? Any improvement?

juliao:
Good morning mamas, please what other

food can I introduce for my 5 months old baby aside from pap and breastmilk.. please do not read a nd pass. Help a first time mum

Kindly read some pages back... you would find very useful information that would help.

Damilare5882:
congrats and I claim your grace

You claim her grace?
Why not access yourself and see if you have her kind of work, family ties and travel history?

Doesn't really follow.my foodie dd was exclusively fed.i tink it depends on the child.
Hotmomma u gat to try n find out wat he likes.there must be one of the food he takes with little struggle compared to others u have to turn to jackie chan to feed him.

.

I should change that to some babies. But I said easily not that they don't eat at all

olamitie:
thanks for the response.like 100-150ml each.cant really predict the exact quantity she eats but she finished 60mls the one time i tried to be sure she will suck from bottle.
will be picking her up by 3pm for now
What Kind of soap is used in washing babys bottle.me FTM sabi ask question

What time are you dropping her off?
How many hours interval does she feed?
That would determine how much milk to pack for her so she doesn't end up hungry and crying before you come get her at 3.
And also if there's some kind D of traffic and you can't get her at 3, she should still have food to keep her until you come.
How old is she now?

Disregard the putting the warmed milk back in the bag, that only works for fridge.

Just pump the specific quantity she takes at each meal in her bottles and check the time interval between each feed and how long she would spend at the creche.
So if she eats 60ml every 2hrs and she would be at the creche for 7hrs (8am-3pm) meaning she would eat 3 times, pump and Carry 4 bottles along. One extra bottle for contingency.

We use normal morning fresh o. But the bottles/nipples are boiled for 5mins after washing.

hotmomma:

_{#operationsavemybreast}

Just so you know, some babies that have been breastfed only (no bottle feeding) do not accept other forms of food easily. It's hard to go from sucking (thrusting the tongue out) 'chewing' and swallowing that's why when you give them food it looks like they are spitting it out.
Was he bottle fed at all? You might want to express to a bottle and have someone else feed him to start detaching him from your boobies.
When I gave my baby his first food (Gerber fruits), I had to film his face cos he squeezed it like I had just given him lemon or chloroquine. Suffice to say, the meal did not go down well. Then I tried pap and he outrightly rejected it. I was already worrying when my DH told my neighbor about it and she brought over Amala and ewedu soup and fed him herself and he almost finished the plate of Amala.
You also have to be persistent.. he would eventually start eating without too much hassles.

Cc sugah sorry for bugging you,just want to be sure i'm doing the right thing
finally resuming tomorrow, was given extra 15days.
1 Will be using this thermal bag,will express milk in two bottles and put it inside with ice
2 When she's ready to eat the bottle should be put in a bowl with warm water?
3 If she doesn't finish the milk at once are they to return it inside the thermal bag or throw it away?

No p.
1. Two bottles of what quantity? It's easier to just pump and store the exact quantity that she eats each meal.
2. Yes, they'd put in a bowl of warm water to warm it up.
3. If she doesn't finish the meal, they can put it back in the bag within 30mins and can warm it again once.

**Update**
Please disregard this....it's for refrigeration not thermal bag.
. If she doesn't finish the meal, they can put it back in the fridge within 30mins and can warm it again once.

olubankemi:
Won't it cause any harm?

All the reviews about contraceptives are really scary to me oo. No period yet, so am thinking of continuing breastfeeding my kids until God knows wen. Want to use it as delay tactics.

But for how long? Haaaa.

I took it out already o. It was causing me issues already.

Breastfeeding is not full proof contraceptive o, unless you are ready to have Idowu

hotmomma:
@sugah, hahhahahhahaha,NNE ayomide don come, hospital to avoid... See me laughing like
E na acho okwu oh

Florena:

Florena:
i was the only one using it initially then I bought for hubby and baby too, just a swipe on the soap and you have enough foam to bath 2 babies. very economical.

I bath with this and it's quite hard on my skin. Is yours soft?

TFeminist:
Thank u ma. I said 'usually' oh.

Usually: under normal conditions, generally.

Maybe you meant sometimes?
And in case you haven't noticed, this is a newborn thread......

Are you a medical practitioner? What hospital do you work with?

lemme know which hospital to start avoiding

Onegai:
Please get one 30 minutes away from you. Ago Palace Way to Festac is way over 45 minutes. You do not wish to go far in case of an emergency. No hospital should be more than 30 mins away from you, Nigeria does not have working ambulances.

My dear, Lagos has changed small o. Ago to festac now shouldn't take up to 15 minutes

Congratulations to all mamas, yes ALL mamas. Those that have announced their bfps and those that​ are yet to announce.

firsttymum:
I make hairbands.... Ankara o, anytype... As posh as u want it. And it's affordable

4realwoman:
i really love seeing things like this cos it always lift my spirt and hopes up, cos i have been thinking if it is possible to take in after Myo, but with your testimony and sugars own i believe that i will also testisfy soon. the problem is we as human we always react to what we see or hear and when Af showed that day it really broke me down and i also remember dh friend that the wife gave birth and how he always plays with little children it make me feel as if i am not really doing my best. Thank you for your prayers and i really appracaite you sharing your story here. e-hug to you and lo.

Thanks dazzle86 for lifting our dear sisters spirits.
4realwoman you have conceived before, there's no doubt or question about your ability to conceive..the only problem was the fibroids that disturbed​ the foetus. You have done​ your own bit by taking out the fibroids, now relax and LET GOD do His own bit.

TFeminist:
Nne, milk residue isn't thrush. Thrush is also non as oral candidiasis, it is a sign of immunodeficiency.

This is from Google
"About Oral Thrush. Oral thrush is a very common infection in infants that causes irritation in and around a baby's mouth. It is caused by the overgrowth of a yeast (a type of fungus) called Candida albicans. ... Candida overgrowth also causes diaper rash and vaginal (yeast) infections."

I don't think it's right to say thrush only happens to HIV patients. That's so wrong.

TFeminist:
Ocp is oral contraceptive pills

what dh was feeling is thread and not d copper. Cu is the part touching your womb.

Thanks.

It wasn't​ just the thread.....the IUD was already expelled to my cervix

TFeminist:
I for wonder, coz I know dat usually happens only in hiv infected patients.

Huh? Oral thrush only happens In HIV?

Giddyperson:
Hubby finally had to transfer himself to the floor and beg me to bring her to the bed cuz I was going to inspect her cot every five minutes. I think what we need is this bed

You could look for a Chicco next2me sleeper. It's really nice.

Hello house,

I greet you all fellow parents. I need advice from all the senior mamas and papas in the house. I have a 9months old son, soon to turn 10 months this May, first of all he sweats a lot, sometimes when the weather is mildly hot and the fan is on, he sweats, sometimes I am propelled to want to increase the speed of the fan but for fear of cold getting into his body. Even when the weather is cool, he still sweats. Is this normal of do I have something to worry about?
Secondly, the lil man is scared of eating, the sight of the plate for his food sends him to frenzy....lol. He cries as if he is been stabbed when eating as his mother/my wife has to force the food in him till he finishes it, which is quite tasking on the mother and frustrating too,however he stops crying immediately he finishes, which makes me believe he just doesn't like the 'eating food' part of life. These yeye habit started when he turned 5months. His food now is Lactogen 2, Cerelac(mixed fruits, wheat with milk) and Pap(Ogi baba). He eats solid/adult food but after 3 bites or swallows, he is done and would want to run off to play.
He is still on the chubby side and weighs about 9.8kg but his fear for food gets me worried and angry too...How I go dey grind my behind to ensure he eats and the lil bugger would run away from food at sighting the plate.
What can we do to make him eat without crying? Are there other foods children love to eat?

If power supply is not a problem in your area, please put the AC on for him.
You DW has made feeding a traumatic experience for him hence his crying when he sees food. Please tell her not to force feed him again.
Personally I don't feed my baby myself, he always refuses to take food from me except his swallow and I don't have the patience to do what my nanny does. She sings, dances, plays music from her phone, uses his toys all to distract him to eat. Sometimes it takes as long as 30mins for him to finish his meals but once he starts turning his head (to say no) we stop.
Also tell your wife to diversify his meals. Babies are humans too, they get bored with same foods all the time. Check some pages back and you would see organic food combinations shared by feddy2.7 and I and she can try them out on him.
If the problem is he wants to run off to ​play, she can carry the food and follow him about and put a spoonful​ of food in his mouth while he plays......it's part of the joys of motherhood.
It's not unique to your baby, most babies do same too.

portable4real:
I don vex ooo

hunniesuzie:
No its not painful. They numb the area first and it takes less than 5 mins

Ok, thanks.

feddy27:
Sorry dear.. How is Ayomide doing? I was going to tell you to confirm it's not milk residue but my phone was acting up. Thank God it's not serious

We are still struggling with food and he totally hates medicines. But he is fine, thanks dear.

feddy27:
O dear! I'm sure it happened cos your cervix length is small. When I went for mine, she had to do a measurement first and said if it does not fall into their range then I have to make anoda choice. Fortunately, it worked.

Now for the arm implant, it does not make you fat; it increases your appetite which can result in weight gain. If you have an active lifestyle, then you don't have a problem. So have a rethink about it.

Billing method No experience.

Both times measurements were done o, that's actually the painful part of the procedure..for me at least. But doc said it might be cos of my 2 surgeries they can't gain full access through my cervix.
My lifestyle isn't that active ooo, especially when I'm at work but I'd think about it.
Is the arm procedure painful?

ebonyjoke:

olamitie:

Funny thing is, he's still his normal playful self. The only sign to know something isn't alright with him is when he starts rejecting his food.
