There are nappy/bottom creams designed for nappy change. I use one from Amal Botanical (a Nigerian brand). Original Blueseal Vaseline is also very fine.

Make sure you give her water very well since she is being fed formula.. Its normal for babies to stay without pooing for few days.

Hi mama please help! My 10weeks old baby who used to be a sleep lover like other babies suddenly cannot sleep again for the past two days.

Usually after his morning bath, I breastfeed him and off he goes to sleep. He can sleep for upto 7hrs or more and maybe wakes up in-between to feed. But for the past two days he'll sleep for a maximum of 2 hrs and will not go back to sleep until night. And even at night he struggled with sleep and eventually slept around 1am and woke up by 6am. Meaning he couldn't even get upto 10 hours sleep a day for two days now and he's just 2 months and few weeks old.
Aside the sleep issue, he's temperature is normal, he breastfeed well, he poos well but just cannot sleep and as long as he's awake, he wants to be carried. That's a lot of hardwork. Hope I'm not loosing my mind for doing nothing but carrying him from 12pm to 1am. Please who understands this situation and is anyone experiencing this?
Forgive my tone mbok. I just managed to put him to sleep about an hour ago. Something I started trying since 12pm. Pheeeew!

You know what they say about babies changing? Welcome to another phase mama. You'll have to endure it and yes, your LO is perfectly fine(he'll change again).
You're even lucky, mine would sleep throughout afternoon and not even close eyes in the night till around 5 or 6am. As a ftm, I was so tired I think I fell into depression sef. My baby cried for as long as I don't carry him and in the night o.

Mama long time no be small o. Motherhood is hitting me hard left, right and center with little or no assistance. You mean this sleeping pattern is normal? I thought babies are expected to sleep 15 to 17 hours a day. Mine is sleeping less than 10 hours. Shouldn't I be worried?
Thanks for always responding to my questions. I appreciate it a lot.

Good morning mamas, please I need your help. My 2 years and 2 months old toddler is yet to be potty trained. I've tried putting him on the potty severally, he'll stay for a minute and stand up any attempt to force him to stay longer will result in serious tears. He can identify his potty, he even carries it but he will never use it. I changed tactics and tried teaching him the words poopoo and wee-wee so he can say them when he's pressed but he still hasn't learnt the words. I don't even know when he wants to poo or wee as he hardly gives a sign, most times it's from the smell I know that he has poo. I stopped wearing diapers for him at home when he gets back from school and he goes on the floor without stress making my house a mess. Sometimes I just wear it for him if I don't have strength to clean.
I feel like I don't even know what I'm doing. I need help, he's a big toddler and the size 5 diaper is beginning to get small for him. Has anybody gone through this? How can I achieve a better result?

If your boy has started schooling, you can seek the help of his teacher and try to gift her once in a while, she will do more than expected. My daughter's teacher helped a lot with that, and now she will just go where her potty is and do her business.
