naniawini:madam firstly congratulations to you and your family. Please stop taking tea, it will definitely affect your baby, what ever you eat has a direct/indirect effect on your baby. On you being tired of pap, nah waa for you o, that's one of the sacrifice you pay for having a child ( many more to come). As long as it works for you l, stick with it, you could also take palm wine if you have it in your area, and reduce your sugar intake, e get why. Shalom 2 Likes |

Water9430: That it worked for your wife, doesn't mean it is good for the baby. That is alcohol and would want you to google and extensively read the risk of consumption of alcohol poses on the development of a baby's brain which tend to be more reflective at school going age. |

emmanuelbrown26: Don't forget, 'all ethanol is alcohol". A baby is safer during pregnancy and breastfeeding when the mother keeps away from ethanol/alcohol. It is just a myth with no medical proof. |

Watermelon Oat Blend cucumber (remove the peel) Amala & Ewedu Anyfood or fruit that contains high level of water. U can't skip pap. It's so sure. But please put enough milk because of diabetes. Eat alot of protein due to the high level of pap consumption. What you eat is what your child eats. Eat healthy. Also, don't let this disturb you psychologically. Be good. 1 Like |

Mindlog:My dear sister, u are right on that, but do u hv verified facts on palm wine being used by breastfeeding mothers? I'm telling u with facts not hear-say. Anytime u come down to Nigeria, just go to rural areas and ask, I'm an elder, it's always recommended for breastfeeding mothers or if u hv an aunty here in Nigeria not city aunty ohhhhhh, ask her. There are things that oyibo made us believe which are not true. In my lineage, there's no woman that breastfeed a child without NGWUUU (Ngwuu is for women and breastfeeding mothers) by her side, and it's being working till infinity. 1 Like |

emmanuelbrown26: I know Palm wine very as I used to go buy from the popular Palm wine market at Obinagu Udi (Enugu state). No pediatrician would ever tell a nursing mother to take palm wine to increase milk production because it is just a myth no matter how much we "believe", it works. Have you observed that babies whose mothers consumed palm wine while breastfeeding tend to sleep longer hours and that is not safe. A pregnant woman who consumes alcohol during pregnancy exposes the baby to FASD( Fetal Alcoholic Syndrome Disorder) and you just not want to see the lifelong side effects on the child. During breastfeeding, a nursing mother is advised to keep away from anything ethanol/alcohol as you don't even have an idea what the baby is already predisposed to. 1 Like |

Hello you have a beautiful baby, groundnut is very good for breastfeeding mothers. Ground it into paste and add it to the water for making your pap. Don't stress yourself if after all these you aren't producing enough just get baby milk for your baby instead of starving her all. All the best 1 Like |

naniawini: Gigi, how are you doing? It's been a while. Well, endogenous production of breast milk is mediated by the hormones, Oxytocin and prolactin. There is a feedback mechanism that ensures that as long as the mother breastfeed the child continuously, the milk will be constantly produced and replenish itself. To boost breatmilk production exogenously, taking substances rich in oxytocin or oxytocin like compounds will be beneficial. It is advisable that you eat fresh fruits, vegetables, balance diet, drink enough water because what you eat directly or indirectly affects your baby, so be careful of what you consume. By the way, she is such a cute beautiful girl. Send my greetings to Emmy. Wishing you the best and take good care of yourself. |

Clean your nipples very well because there are some dirty things that do block the milk from coming out even when the breast is full. 2 Likes |

emmanuelbrown26: I grew up knowing that alongside other many childcare myths but my clinical experience is retaining some and disposing a whole lot even if it started in the days of Adam and Eve! When Nigerian researchers come come up with peer reviewed papers on positive impact of Ngwo on breast milk production and infants brain development would I accept that. If during the interviews of mothers of children with cognitive impairment, I do ask them if they consumed alcohol during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, will I still advocate for a mother to take palm wine? That elderly women in my family are used to some certain beliefs and way of doing things, does not mean I will not subject it to interrogation. |
