Good evening mummies, please after 6 weeks immunization I noticed that my baby has been crying from time to time, I thought it was the injection pain, but when I touch his stomach, I noticed that it is making noise/sound like grumping, so once the stomach starts making noise, he'll raise the legs up towards the stomach, then he'll start pushing, once he starts that, the stomach will become hard, at times he will fart, but once the stomach stop making noise, he'll be calm, it's very frequent, most especially at night. And I noticed that if I place him on my chest, he sleep more or he if he is sleeping on his tummy. He'll sleep peacefully. Please help, what can I do. So sorry for the long post

Definitely sounds like colic. Like other mamas said, lay him on his belly and on your chest but please watch him as you lay him. When you lay him on your chest, try to lie in the middle of your bed do you he doesn't fall off when you doze off. He'll be fine, don't worry.

Went for 6wks immunization n a woman there saw my baby n said she has "ila" (yoruba term) don't know d english name for it, she also said she has open front head. She suggest alagbo, which I bought, n started yesterday. Pls mama does it work? I don't feel comfortable given her. Cos she's still tender(6wks old). It my first time taking such, I've never tasted agbo

I'll start with the (open front head)
front fontanelle; it's not open. Your baby may be dehydrated so feed more especially with breastmilk

For "ila" simply apply little bit of baby tribotan because of heat. Speaking from experience

Mamas please help
My 4 months old DD gets scared easily, she'll just put her two hands up as if she's surrendering.Is this normal?
Also, how do you teach a baby to sit.
Thanchu!

Its completely normal to spread her hand that way at that age.

Please mamas my baby is 5 weeks I gave birth through cs the incision site is okay I don't feel pain there anymore but my stomach muscle is still not strong enough getting out of bed is a bit difficult. Please how long does it take the stomach muscle to heal?

I experienced same. Give it 4 weeks extra but if you're not comfortable, see your doctor.

Jcuttie:
Thank you very much ma. God bless you. I already got one. Thank you �

You're welcome. You can also apply baby tribotan after bathing with the soap.

Jcuttie:
Thank you very much Ma�, Does the black soap have a name or I can see any black soap to buy in any baby’s shop.

I used this one

Jcuttie:
Pls mommas and daddy’s in the house help me. My 7months old baby has ela. I really don’t know what exactly causes this ela, if it’s a bacteria or what. Don’t they have antibiotics that can clear it cause I don’t want to use agbo for him. I just bought augmentin suspension and tribotan for him. I just started giving him today but people still keep advising me to go and buy agbo that antibiotics can not clear it. Pls I need your advice. People that experienced ela with your children what did you use. Pls help it has covered all his body

So sorry about that. I used black soap from a baby's shop and baby tribotan. How this works for you. I used both in the morning and at night when bathing him. However because of the hot weather, you can a little o the tribotan.

I don't even know if I have seen or heard about it before.

I was also worried if I'll see it but to my utmost surprise, I saw it and it's even economical.

Lemonadewifey:

Hi mama. Pertaining the diaper, I just discovered Kisskids and I must say, it's very wonderful, thick and awesome. You can try it.

I agree with you. It absorbs, it's affordable and has more quantity. Doesn't give baby rash.

Fertilady:
Good day mamas, please I need recommendations of the make of baby clothes dryer to buy. Thanks

@ Zaynie will give you the best.

Moms, how do u deAl with fontanelle(oka) in baby? My baby cries so much every night and my mom is suggesting we get herbs while my dh is against herbs as his doctor brother told him its normal.
Pls help a helpless ftm/llll"

Please don't give herbs, may be harmful to your baby. If you're worried about the fontanelle, just constantly feed baby coz he may be dehydrated.
My experience; my son's fontanelle was looking like its pressed inside and I was told to apply silver bird I didn't cos I know the silverbird is harsh. I decided to drink lots of water and feed him like every hour. Now it's back to normal.

Ebonybiuty:
Good evening mamas. Please is there anyone selling baby rocker on this platform? What’s the price please, I want to get one for my baby. Thanks

You can contact Zaynie, she'll give you the best at shikini price.
@mama Zaynie you're needed here asap. Someone wants to buy rocker.

He is not doing any work na neither is he active. All he can do is eat, sleep and gain weight and @ the bolded, he's not gaing too much weight na. Allow him to eat well and grow o. My son was 3.2kg at birth and weigh 5.1kg @ 6wks and of course he's not obese. So enjoy the chubby moments

Haaaa.... Okay, thanks. You've helped in calming me. Thank you so much.

angeltolly:


@the bolded is why i ask. Anytime my son doesn't poo in an interval of more than 3 days, his poo is always like a paste not like the egusi like poo. Its normal. I guess it because all the milk are fully digested hence the absence of the egusi stuff

Thank you so much.
Also, my son of 8 weeks eats every hour when he's awake. His BW was 3.6kg and at 6 weeks he was already 4.9kg. I'm worried he's gaining too much weight rapidly. Don't want to have an obese baby ooo. Please help a ftm.

angeltolly:


When last did he poo or how often?

He pooed today. Sometimes 4 days or 3 days inbetween.

Good day mamas, please my baby is 8 weeks today and his poo is paste-like but the colour is yellow. I'm worried if it's okay. Though he has no fever.

Hi all, I just joined this group. My baby is ten days old and has open head in the middle of her head. She poos immediately she is breastfed. She has done this six times today. I don't know if there is any remedy for it or do we just wait it out?
PS- My mom rubs palm kernel oil mixed with silver bird on it daily.

For the pooing, it's normal and it will gradually reduce cos I experienced same and doctor told me not to worry cos it's normal. My 6 weeks old baby doesn't poo everyday now. So relax
