Cos I'm wondering if that could also be d issue. D pooing thing, how do I handle it? He's gone twice already today. & d colour is darker dan his normal poo. He usually poos once btwn 2 to 5 days. |

vickilafab: She did EBF for 6mths...he's still being breastfed now too but not as before...he's weaning himself now (if I'm not mistaken) because sometimes he won't accept it while atimes, just for a few minutes. 1st & last meal of everyday are always bf. BTW, could it b teething? Loss of appetite, stooling/diarrhoea & temp are symptoms of teething? Let's see how he reacts after his meds completion. vickilafab:*hiohiohiohio* |

vickilafab: Anti malarial, anti biotics seems like a lot of drugs for a six months old. Was it a pediatrician you saw? As per solid with hassle, it's completely normal. This is Someone that has had only one type of food, one taste (b.milk) for 6 months. He is ready used to it and set in his ways. So of course any other taste will be hassle, especially for a baby that is not adventurous. Just keep feeding him in bits and bits. He will acquire the taste for it. I read on baby centre or somewhere that it takes 22 feeds for a baby to acquire a taste. I started weaning my baby (with cereal and purées) at 4 months cuz she refused formula, it was a struggle too, some days one spoon other days not at all. But she liked water a lot just the way you have said. But now at 6 months she takes one puree in the morning, then cereal in the evening. All without fight. I am now introducing second foods like youghurt, mixed purées and regular food. So be patient and consistent. Those are the two ingredients for weaning. Hugs 1 Like |

ijeoma2728:I'm not sure if catarrh has anything to do with loss of appetite or anything of such. Have you tried steaming; rubbing of shea butter, palm kernel oil, baby mentholatum or palm oil on forehead & nose bridge? You could use nose bulb to extract the phlegm or use your mouth. The mouth usage is rather safer, if I may say. !Did u recently introduce new meal to him/her? That cld also be d cause if YES. My son always had catarrh when fed a particular brand of cereal, so, we changed to another. Dust can't be ruled out too. Over to mothers.... |

Hi, I'm a new mom. Have a beautiful 6weeks old daughter that weighs 6.2 kg. So far it's been a wonderful experience except when she started experiencing colic. Tried nospamin which didn't work till my elder sister told me to give her fresh coconut water morning and night for three days and viola! No more colic. She belch as she likes and passes gas easily. For new moms experiencing colic, try the fresh coconut water it really works. 3 Likes |
