kwentjules: Mamas, Using powder on Lo less than a year isn't advisable, I will suggest your stop using powder for now and let her skin breath, powder blocks the pore of the skin and this causes breakout on LO skin. 3 Likes |

ngsoundz: Sorry I'm just responding been a long day here!!! A dry diaper isn't too good at her Age. Increase your milk supply with more fluids and eating better. Ensure you drink At least 2 liters of water then add pap, kunu and milo . A few spoons of iru i.e. Locust beans also helps! You can also give her some clean water in case she's getting dehydrated and we can't tell |

ngsoundz: It may be nothing to worry about. But i will always say no matter how frivolous you may sound, there is no harm in having her see a doctor. If she sleep throughout the night it is not unusual for babies not to pee while sleeping and then they do so when they wake. But since it happens during the day as well, i dont know what could make her pee so infrequently. Is she otherwise active and alert?, and not showing any signs of dehydration? Any changes in her behaivour- clingyness, crying more than normal since the pee strike? If no, It could be her system adjusting, or a growth spurt - - wierd things happen when babies have growth spurts? Maybe you could give her some water inbetween her feeds. Like 30ml like 2 or 3 times a day and see if the pee situation changes. If you are still uncomfortable, as i said before abeg go and see your peadiatrician to assess her. Good luck. |

dtush: mama,the only thing i can say is once your dd sleeps,sleep immediately too. if you dh is around,you can nicely ask him to help you feed baby while you sleep. infact,any time you have chance,sleep ooo by so doing you will get your ration of sleep per day. 2 Likes |

dtush: Na you unleash dragon! Sorry to say but you seem to have unwittingly "trained" her to wake up to night feeds. You need to break the habit that she has formed and you have been encouraging. Some tips that may help: when does she have her dinner? What i do for my lo is dinner anytime between 5:30 and 6:30. Then i feed her as well from whatever the rest of the house is eating around 7 or 8pm when we have ourown dinner. Then a bottle of milk just before she gets settled for bed. Now this is where your resolve and consistency comes in. Dedicate like 2 weeks of your night time to tackle it as it may take that long. Cut oit all feeds between when she goes to bed and 5am No milk, no juice, no cereal nothing But water in a sippy cup- NOT feeding bottle. Have your milk and warm water ready for the 5am feed If she wakes up, try not to carry her, give her some water and pet her without carrying her. Carry her ONLY if you must and offer only water. Rocker her back to sleep. It will take longer than feeding her but after about 3 -5 days you will see a difference. But make sure you try as much as possible to pet wihout carrying her. If she is on the same bed with you, turn to face her and you can sing and per her back. If you can keep it up for 2 weeks, she will wake up less during the night. Good luck 11 Likes 4 Shares |

BritneyStacy: Well, I had to do a little research. The Internet is agog with conflicting studies that we don't even know what to believe again. From what I gathered, the phytoestrogen present in soybean is the culprit and the concentration is significant in soy based formula especially for under 1 babies. Most of the articles I read reported these things you raised as concerns, growing concerns but not a proven certainty. Debates are still on going. For me, from all I have read, soy based formula is not advised at all, but for those that add to pap, I think very moderate quantity will pass. May God help us o 1 Like |

ngsoundz: It's basically for this period that she's reduced peeing! The weather is hot now so we must ensure she doesn't get dehydrated! Maybe after meals you can top up with a few mls of water even if just 5ml or less sef Happy to help 1 Like |

ngsoundz: We're in the same boat o! I just want to add that you should also check to ensure fontanelle (soft spot) is not sunken. This is my source of reassurance since lo's diapers started drying up, also when he was 4 months 2 weeks. It could be the heat since on cold nights he pees more. We're doing mixed feeding so lo drinks water already (even though i try to limit quantity). Yesterday i went for a party and drank a lot of juice and water. lo's diaper was soaked this morning. But yesterday night was also very cold so can't conclude. Its true that he pees more when awake. Between when we wake, bathe and finish dressing, he pees up to three times sometimes. But the pee is concentrated, not clear like it used to be. I even thought it's because of formula, so surprised to hear an ebf baby going through same (Even though weekends we bf only and I've not noticed any difference). Since your lo is ebf sha i suggest you drink more fluids, because the weather is really hot. Based on yesternight's experience personally i will be drinking 1 liter of water between when i return from work and when i sleep at night. But if you're staying up north (harmattan has arrived and so everywhere is really dry), in my opinion please give the child water (clean water, probably boiled and cooled). In my opinion sha. I once heard a story (unverified) of an ebf baby who died from dehydration in Sokoto. (unverified story o). As for feeding a lot without getting full, it could be a growth spurt, but you may have to up your game in milk production. A lot of hints have been dropped on this thread for ways to increase production. Then also ask yourself, is lo really eating, or he just wants an excuse to cling. At about the age of your lo mine started staying permanently on breast all night. When you remove his moth and drop him on his bed he wakes up. How can a child want mouth on my breast all night? Do i look like a pacifier? I had to stay awake for about 2 nights to break the habit. Although I don't know if it was my actions, or if he has just outgrown the phase. 2 Likes |

dtush: Convention says you're spoiling her. If you don't want her to eat at night, suffer for two weeks. Give only water and endure her crying. From all that everyone says, they will happily sleep through the night or take only water if you force them to. However, all children are different. My niece rejected food all day, so we pumped her with food all night. She used to take at least 4 bottles of cereal at night. Note that my sister had a lot of support, she always had family to help out with the night feeds. So mama please pick a method that your power can carry sha. |
