Hello wonderful mothers
Please how safe is it for a 3 month old to take pap? if yes, any special method of preparation?.
Just asking ahead as I was told by a family friend its possible but I need opinions from mothers here.

Thanks

I knw people that gave at 3 months...i think it should not be too thick

Thanks mamas for the contributions on my case....God protect and bless us and our families,Amen

Make Una rejoice with me o
After a year and 3 months, I finally landed a job! And I'm to resume immediately

Congrats Jazzy..

I wont give him sugar till he grows to maybe 2 years then i can introduce it..Children need sugar but I think starting at six months is too early nd wrong, thanks mamas.

Naomi14:
Did you ask the doctor why? Or just because he is 6months so he should eat more sugar.

He should eat sugar because babies need sugar according to him...

queensnow:
heard some babies have low sugar or short in glucose maybe u shd ask ur doctor his reasons. Is ur baby doing slow slow like he's been sluggish?

He's not slow at all, very active...he just said babies need sugar.

Please o the doctor said I should add plenty sugar to my baby's food when he's six months old...I thought babies dnt need sugar? And my husband agreed to it, i dnt want to give my baby sugar o! He said plentyy

[quote author=hunniesuzie post=59573153]No need for formula. Start with cereal preferably rice cereal (cerelac, gerber and Heinz are popular brands)then you can do purees of fruits like apple, pear or banana, or vegetables like carrots, potato or peas. Whatever You give, mash/blend well to start with,
Put a lot of milk so LO can enjoy it. Pap and crayfish is also an option. To start with, replace 1 milk feed a day with solid options then you can increase gradually however babies must take about 500mls of milk a day. If You express enough you can continue to use breastmilk only but you must give baby food rich in iron and vitamin D

Ps: sabi mamas will still chook mouth, this is from my research and very recent experience starting solids

Okay thanks a lot..

Hi mamas, pls my baby will be 6 months soon nd we are ebf...I'm confused on how to go about introducing food, do i start with formula only for like a week then introduce pap/cereal nd other solids later? I need to knw what to do,when and how..thanks

Pls mamas i want to switch to lipton and skimmed milk,i want to know if that's okay or if it will have any effect on my baby..my baby is 4months old and we are on exclusive..

iomoge2:
ehn hen.
I just saw drugs.

Cough made us see a specialist o. It was that serious.
They said children shouldn't be given cough syrup.
That cough syrup is to gather the phlegm to enable us spit it outbut children will swallow making dder stomach congested.

Infact ehn..... just try home rememdy.
Plus is there high temprature?
When does ur baby cough more? Day or night?
Hope no dust gathering whatever in ur house?

In my case we had to remove the rug too....
But the melted ori did magic.

No there isn't high temperature...i think he coughs more during the day, i will try the home remedy tomorrow morning nd hope he doesn't spit it out.thanks a lot

Chanbaby:
Its very possible for 3mths old to be teething. My son's teeth came out at 3mths without stooling. Someone recommended yoruba black soap when he was 2months old that it makes teething less stressful for u and the baby. so I used it to bath him religiously and he didnt stool.

Okay, thanks... i will look for the soap

Is it possible for a 3months+ baby to be teething?
Does teething come with frequent stooling?

olubankemi:
The drugs they gave you at the. Hospital, is/are it/they cough syrup(s)? If yes, please there is strong need to treat infection. They. Should run a test on him to know the cause of the cough, once the root is treated cough will go.

We were given vitamin C syrup and Axitin...Okay i will take him back to run a test, thanks

Pls what's that home remedy for cough? My 3 month old baby has serious cough nd I'm not sure the drugs they gave us at the hospital is working... the way he coughs scares me, like it chokes him... please

Leave it like that ke? Nooo...circumcision is painful but it's something you have to do nd the earlier the better,my son was circumcised 8days after birth nd he cried oh,serious cry! But when he was brought out nd i fed him that was d end..then i was told to give him pcm that day and by the next day he was fine,the ring fell after 5 days
