mytestimony:pele dear, I can imagine what u r going through... pls don't give ur baby bitter cola. u can give her little water since u r nt on exclusive so dat she doesn't get constipated. y gripe water? is she havin tummy ache?? I didn't use it for my son so wont advice u to. what I did was to rub his tummy in a circular motion and giv hot water press on his abdomen after d navel had completely healed. & pls n pls, paracetamol is a no-no. that reason ur MIL gave is nt valid. my son is almost a yr old & I can count d number of times av given him pcm. use it only wen ur child has a fever to bring temperature down bfor goin to d hosp. always read d label of anything bfor givin ur child as we are responsible for them. na u carry am for belle o.. even when I c d paediatrician, I read d leaflet of every drug given n use my discretion. like sometime ago, he had a cold n I was given actifed, after readin, I saw dt it shouldn't be given to kids below 2yrs except on docs advise n lookin at my son, I saw d cold wasn't severe so I passed. Even common vitamin C, I hardly give- I prefer to squeeze out fresh orange juice for him. so my dear, as mothers, we work with our instinct. regardin ur MIL, be diplomatic with her or call ur doctor n arrange meeting then go wt her and mention all dese things so u can av points.. like bfor my son was circumcised, my mom & MIL were already givin me lecture on how we'll manage it n wot we'll do.. I simply made sure both of dem wer wt me wen I was asking d docs questions. when we got home, I decided to bath n dress him myself. They were both cross sayin it wont heal wtout me applying anything bt my husband was supportin me so I was good. after 5 days, d plastic fell off & dey marvelled- healed perfectly! may God give u wisdom, it is well sorry say my tori long. 3 Likes |

Its true chidren grow at diff milestone but by standard she shud av bn standing on her own n moving arnd with things. God is ur strength. Treat her for diarrhea using ORS. It might be teething tns.

I have been exclusivly breastfeeding my baby even though when he was constipated I was forced by my MIL to give him water whch I did 2ce and I stopped because my instincts ddnt feel good about it.

I don't want to introduce formula yet.please can someone explain the technique of breast pumping? I have 2 manual breast pump.tried it 2days ago and he collected it using cup andspoon.how can I effectively pump what willbe enuf for my baby so he doesn't starve?

hajarahbadmus: Continue pumping so u can knw ao much ur baby can take. Do u plan using a creche or mil wil stay wit d baby? Most pple don't hv patience to feed baby wit cup and spoon oo esp creche. Once u can estimate his daily intake, it wil help u and pls start the 2-3hrly routine feeding so he won't b much trouble for the person u r dropping for. I express abt 450-600ml for my baby cos I lactate well and he takes abt 150ml per feed wen I resumed work, he feeds mostly 3-4times b4 I cum back frm work. Hope dis helps |

Hello mummy's, am a FTM, I noticed a swollen lump on my baby's scalp( he is a week old),this evening while bathing him. its somehow watery when I press it but doesn't seem to pain him. I want to take him to d hospital now but my MlL said I shld wait till tomoro besides my DH is not around. Please o I have been crying cause when I googled it, wat I read raised my bp. Please has any mama experienced such. Please I need ur reply mamas. |
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by kaffy4bill(f): 9:44pm On Mar 19, 2015 |
hajarahbadmus: U start gradually by adding 15mins to his feeding time then 30mins then 1hr, he wil adjust,all u nid is consistency. The more u pump and feed, the more d feedback in milk production. Ensure u eat well and take lots of fluid, stay hydrated nd let him start getting use to d nanny wit u leaving dem alone b4 u resume skul so it won't b much trouble. U can put the feeding bottle in a bowl of water if there's no light or u get a gud cooler dat can stay cold wit block and preserve. Hope dis helps 1 Like |
