My baby was like this and I told my MIL that it seems my baby has jaundice cos the sleep wasn't normal. She gave me a negative look but my mother instinct won't let me rest. I took my baby to hospital and it was confirmed. Called my Dr Aunt, she said if I lyk my DS I must wake him up to feed at least every 3hrs so he can pass it out through poo. I started waking him by running tap water on his leg. I didn't say ur baby has jaundice but most babies with jaundice sleep excessively and you must wake them up to feed if you like them cos they need to poo a lot,to flush jaundice out of their system.

Pls ma how did you manage the jaundice?

Get cotton seed and sugar cane leaves boiled them together for like 30mins and drink it. It serves as your water,discard after 24hrs .Do it for 4days.Pls do not give baby to drink, if you are lactating well, i will suggest you pause formula for now. It was raining then, I did not make use of the sun but the weather has changed now. Expose LO to early morning sun for like 20mins btw 8am-10am, pls cover his eyes. DS sb level was 14% when I went back the 4th day it has dropped to 3.2%.
Please I beseech thee wake LO up to nurse every 3hrs, so baby can poo well. Calm down, this phase shall pass.

I used unripe pawpaw soak in water and the early morning sun. I drop some in this mouth and drank half a cup myself and fed him every 2 hrs so he can poo it out. I applied breast milk into his eyes to clear the yellow colour and make his eyes white again. I did this for 5 days.,took him to the hospital to check and the doctor confirm him ok.

On this jaundice matter,I gave glucose water and breastfed every two hours and early morning sun.
I guess the essence of treatment is to make baby pop often and everything falls into place.

Good evening experienced mamas in the house. I gave birth via cs on Monday and my child had to bottle fed with formula . But I’ve been trying to put him on my breast for 2 days now and he keeps rejecting my breast . I just end up giving him formula. Now my breast are so full and hard and very painful. It’s even leaking. But still he won’t suck. I really want to breastfeed him. What can I do. I tried pumping with electric bottle pump
Today but that thing is too slow . I need your expertise please

Haaa..... teamie, this was my exact situation yesterday night that I had to wake up and order a breast pump online. Thankfully, the swelling reduced this morning and the pain went away.

I wore a good supportive bra which I haven’t taken off except when I am going to bath and baby has been sucking as much as she can too.

I also massaged both breast with warm soapy water in circular motion when I was having my bath.

I don’t know if any of these was what helped as I am also a FTM

Other moms with experience will come in soon

Sorry, hang in there.... cos I totally understand the pain as I went through same which is only subsiding today

Continue trying, he will latch soon. My first son didn't latch till the 6th day, ny nipples were small. I had to pump for him and used formula to supplement. For the pain, wear a firm bra always and massage with hot water first, then try pumping again. You need the milk to come out.

You just have to keep trying before he gets too used to the bottle. Always offer him breast first when he's hungry and keep trying for a while before u finally offer formula. And keep pumping for now, even with the slow pump so that your breastmilk production doesn't reduce.

Am skeptical about the loratidine because on it it was written 12 yrs and above. Pls don't look and pass o.my baby is having temperature, have given him paracetamol though
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by Mumaraoluwa: 2:46pm On Nov 08, 2019

Mumaraoluwa:

37.1 is normal, you should have given para to him
Did the doctor run any test on him before prescribing the drugs or he just worked on what you described.
Is the cough serious that he prescribed Augmentin? Didn't he tell you how many dose to administer when you buy them.
Augmentin is a strong antibiotics(a gsk product and costly too)
Drugs are measured and administered to children according to age and body weight too. That's why my children's pediatrician prefers a syringe to the measurement cap.

Maybe you should discuss with your doctor. He might change it to Piriton

Woah, thank God you're fine. I was trying to console myself by saying atleast it didn't burn me but that didn't work initially, though I see reason now. I was holding the pot to stir when the pot shifted and I felt a sudden wave of heat from the gas on my hand. I had a split second to choose between letting it scald me and flinging the pot cry, when I saw my work of art laying on the floor, I started feeling I chose the wrong option cheesy

So sorry. I didn't know pressure pots explode. That sounds dangerous. It actually waited for you to come into the kitchen for it to explode. All these contraptions. That's one reason I don't like these camp gas things too, I've heard too many stories of them exploding.

Please I really need someone's help.
My mum Is suffering from glaucoma. She discovered this last two years. She was told to do surgery then but because of the fear she has concerning anything surgery she opted to receiving prescribed medications(eye drops and drugs). Recently however, she has been complaining incessantly about her sight deteriorating and I'm really scared coz I don't want my mum to go blind. So we went to d doctor who told us to do surgery before...but we were told it was too late for surgery and she just has to keep managing her sight like that...please I sincerely need some advice from the opticians in the house. Please is there a possibility of getting glaucoma surgery two years after it was diagnosed.
