Orange juice for a 3wk old baby? Like seriously I know babies less than a year old ain't supposed to take citrus fruits cos of the citric acid in it. Are you pretty sure its safe?

Good day mothers, pls my 3 weeks old baby has been fuzzy, stretching and crying in his sleep since yesterday she's also straining really hard cos she has not pooed for 3days now. She's breastfeeding well but also strains and stretch while on breast. Pls help out with how to help her poop and also stop the fuzziness and st retching cos she's not sleeping well both during the day and night. Thanks

Please don't give a newborn Orange juice. If it is not recommended to give them excess water (on account of water toxicity), why would it be safe to give their still developing stomachs an acidic juice? It's normal in EBF but if you wish, you can eat oranges and veggies and fibre-rich food.

Your LO is colicky just like most infants. Do you use hot compress on her tummy?? You can also use your finger tips to gently massage below her belly button in a circular motion. This will help release the gas stuck in her stomach and also help her poop.

Orange juice is a NO..NO unless approved by your paediatrician.

@ lovinam, u r right. Though I prefer thumbsucking to tonguesucking.
Mamas my baby has chesty cough that won't go. Hv been to d hospital and hv taken all drugs and antibiotics, it gets beter and comes back. Last nite she was breathing as if sometin was blocking her chest. Any sugestions pls? I hv done hot water steam and all what not. It stil won't go ohhh.
Need I add "she is about sprouting upper tooth"
When my kids have chesty coughs most especially in d night ...i give natural undiluted lime extract (i buy fresh limes,cut,squeeze out d water in it and keep in a plastic bottle witout adding water)...d cough usually disappear 2 days after,it works pretty well.
Note: the baby might vomit any mucus hanging on chest and throat.

Good day blessed mamas,
I need your urgent help, I am a FTM, my 6 weeks old baby girl has been having particles like dandruff on her hair. She is very hairy hence I started seeing lots of tiny white particles on her scalp that. Looks like dandruff. Even wen I wash her hair very well, It still comes up after few hours. I initially was using johnson oil, then was asked to change to ori and coconut oil, but it still persisted. I wash her hair with johnson baby soap. She keeps putting her hand on her head to hair and cry every minutes which makes me feel it itches her.
I will appreciate your urgent advice on wat to use for her scalp.
God bless you guys.

Google cradle cap treatments. It is not dandruff.

Modified** Stop any Johnson's product for now. Try Aveeno or Sebamed.

Instead of lime,why not try vitamin C drops for babies. Lime is very acidic can actually erode away the lining of an infant's intestine, cause diarrhoea and digestive problems later in future.

In as much as i advocate natural remedies, we need to consider the age at which these natural remedies are appilcable. lime and lemon can be given to babies of 10-12 months old

You want to give your 3 months old beans? God help you o. Beans can make a 6 months old poo to oblivion not to talk of a 3 months old. Its your baby, your choice.
