Hi, u don't av to stop using it. They say do not swallow cos of d floride it contains. U can use half a pea size of paste so that even if d baby swallows it, it won't be much

Or better still u can try using "Aquafresh milk teeth" toothpaste. I think that one is safe to swallow.

But they all kno a child less than 2 must swallow a reasonable amount of paste that's why a pea size or half a pea size is recommended.

. I just looked thoroughly now, they wrote do not swallow, read the body of the paste. I wonder why they wrote 0-2years and now said do not swallow, I have stopped using mine for the main time until I see my pediatrician

Hello mothers in the house. Pls my six months old child has not been able to hold and stand his neck.But he can turn it to right or left side only. The neck is not yet stable so we don't understand what is happening to him. Although he was born pre term but as at this age, we think he should be able to hold and stand the neck.
Pls has any mother experienced this problem before? and what can we do to stabilise the neck.

Good afternoon fellow mamas. I am a ftm of a 3wks old baby. Please I need some help. My baby is defecating like four to five times a day. Is it normal for her age? A woman that visited me said that I should stop eating vegetables and fruits and beans because they are the cause of the frequent defecation in my lo. How true is this cos am just hearing this for the first time. Is rising powder good for treating rashes in children of her age? Please advise needed.

Very normal.

Pls continue youe fruits ans veggies...you need the vitamins!

Hello, even if born pre term, ur baby's neck should be abit steady now but bear in mind that different babies reach a milestone at their own pace too.

Maybe others that experienced this can be of better help.

Hello dear, Pls don't worry too much because it is very normal. Same thing happened to me. I had my baby 5months ago but normal delivery and not CS. When i asked, one of my elder sisters said its same with her she starts menstruating d next month after she gives birth (She has 3 kids). It varies per individual though. some pole don't see it until they stop breastfeeding while some see it almost immediately. Mind u i did exclusive breastfeeding for 4months.

Wot was ur baby's birth history like? Did he cry immediately after birth, did he hv jaundice? If yes, how was it treated? Does he smile wen u play wt him? At how many weeks was he given birth too. U can find out some of d answers frm ur wife.

. Just relax most children are like that,this is the stage. But you have to make sure sharp objects are not around him,things that will injure him, don't flog yourself no matter how careful you are he must fall but at least not a fall that will harm him. You can give paracetamol when you know the falling is too hard

Naaaaa....no bothers! Mother nature has devised some form of 'protection' from those kind of falls. Have you ever wondered why a crawling kid that unintentionally hits his/her head, walks away fine....while if you intentionally hit his/her head yourself, gbege happens?
