Hello to every parent out there, I hope you're all in good health and happiness. Yesterday I was introduced to Hive blockchain, and when navigating and exploring the community I fell in love with every content posted to this community, honestly it's not easy to father or mother a baby and that is why I'm here today to share my fatherhood journey and experience.
My Fatherhood Journey and Experience
Toward ending of June, 2022, my fiancee gave me the news about her missing monthly flow (menstruation). I was happy and we both celebrated it. But at that point in time everything was tough and hard. I wasn't working because we were paid off from my last job due to COVID-19. And since then I haven't engage in any other job until August 8, 2022. I wasn't myself to be candid but I have to make my Babe happy by sharing the Happiness with her, an example of Suffering and smiling in Fela Anikulapo Kuti's Voice. So the journey Began.
The first 3months was a hell because the pregnancy was a total disturb to my babe(fiancee). This stomach upset just came from nowhere and it always come like it's going to kill the foetus in the stomach. At a time, it disturbed like defecating the foetus. But at the end it stopped itself. The Anti-natal began and steadily attended to.
There comes the 4th month, it was a totally disaster because everything that comes my babe's way is eatable except faeces.
Every bit of me knew I was broke to stupor at the moment cos I have to provide for the condition. But don't forget I have gotten and started another job at this point in time. Glory be to God most high.
There come the 7th. At some point in time, I named my babe(fiancee) FOODIE because she eat too much. Meanwhile, every bit of her flesh, soul and body knows she is well taken care of.
To cut the long story short, early morning on the 22nd of March 2022. God gave me a bouncing baby boy. Immediately, I named him the sweet names I and her mother has prepared for him which are FU'AD Ayanfe Ayinde Ademide Damian AJAKORE.
And the second phase began. I fell in love with my Prince to the extend that seeing his pictures is a joy to me. Every bit of me knows that his existence mean alot to me. If not that women are created to have breast Damian would have chosen me to breast feed him.
The characters I love about My Prince, DAMIAN
From his birth, there as been a sign of a bravery, success and lots more. He is so calm and gentle but was disturbed by umbilical cord and that made him act so uncomfortable. Every time he hears my voice, he get noticed and get eager to be carried by me. I feels so comfortable as a child to his father. He looks at me as if he want to communicate with me. He loves talking walk with me while in his baby carrier. The funniest pas is that I backs and pampers him like the olden ways.
To me, his action is far above his age and I pray he grows up to be the brave man he has always be.
Taking about food, My prince isn't okay with ordinary breast since two months old. Not until we added food supplement like soya milk, I learned how to prepare this because of my boy. As a father you can also learn from me on how to prepare soya milk for your baby, all you need is;
INGRIDIENTS:
- SOYA BEANS
- GREAT MILLET/SORGHUM BICOLOR/SORGHUM
- RICE
- DRY FISH
- DRY PEELED CORN
- DRY PEELED GROUNDNUT
- NAN SERIES (1,2,3 AND SO ON)
COOK THE ABOVE SUPPLEMENTS TO A DAILY CONSUMPTION OF THE BABY
HOW I TURNED IT TO MILK:
- Firstly I boil the amount of water I think my baby will consume daily.
- I guage the quantity of the food and mix it with ordinary water
- Pour the mixed food inside the boiled water
- Mix till it gets ferment.
- Put it in the baby flask
- Mix the NAN SERIES with hot water inside the feeding bottle and add the cooked supplement to it.
- Shake together and give to the baby.
This has been how my baby survived struggling with breast
