@cancerlib, it's normal. they poop a lot at that age. Don't worry, you will still be the one to complain that baby has not pooped for days later.

@ hajarahbadmus, I use avent Phillips manual pump. Got it for N8,500.

@new mums, congrats. I know Sayoberry from pregnancy thread. I'm so glad to know you've delivered. Welcome to the vigilante club.

Mamas, where can I get mucus extractor in Lagos? My baby has been battling with catarrh for more than a month, the medicine doc gave us didn't work.

Also, how will one know a baby that will become Dada (have natural dreadlocks)? Thanks.

Rezzy. Clinik. Thanks

Sayoberry I sight you.

Please,my own baby no dey poo after every feed o. He does that just once a day and at most twice. I hope this is normal everyone? He is 7weeks old.

favoredgal:



They go through diaper a lot at this stage... Cuz they poop after every feed. It will soon pass. The walmart / SAMs club brand are not as good but for the stage you are in where you changed often it doesn't really matter. But if you are shipping to Naija I will advice you mix with Huggies or pampers especially at the size 3 stage.

Welldone eh. I can't imagine how it is with twins. One was quite the handfull

tchiwinnie:
Cereals ll b frm 4months so try and wait till 4months. There s also dis cloth diaper pple hv talked of, its washable and reusable. Heard its econonical.

its only economical when you have a washing machine. I've USD it several times and I tell you, u don't wanna wash poop off that cloth. U will wash and wash and wash.

Please help!
I keep hearing gas in my baby's tummy. U can see her in pain. Like her tummy is aching. Alot of ppl discouraged gripe water.

It's normal @ dis stage. Kip feeding

TX for the replies. Are there foods I should avoid eating? MIL said not to drink milo n milk, nt to eat okro, veg oil, orange etc.

Uwc dear. Well for me, I ate all those u mentioned apart from orange. But I ll say stay away from sugary things. Milo and milk helped in d production of my breastmilk.

Sori, I can imagine wat d boy is goin thru. Pls continue d tea and cereal if dat is wat the baby tolerates, and ensure u give water or any oda fluid to kip him well hydrated. Give paracetamol for d fever, get vitamin c and give oranges too. If the fever is much pls take him to d hosp asap

Try a warm compress on her tummy...that should expel the gas.

@ Noqualms,u can get mucus extractor from where they sell baby things.Personally I don't believe in dada.People dat know about it will answer u ok.

@ mytestimony,no need to panick over d gas.My babys own was very scary to d extend dat I hv to complian to his peadiatrician but was told to alwz bub him after every feed.It was not easy for me seeing him in pain but blv me I didn't give him anything and it finally stopped after 3months.Other mamas can still tell u wat they give that worked for them.there is no cause to panic.This stage will soon pass.Thank u

Abeg my son poo only once a day or at most twice in a day. Is this normal as all other mamas said their own poo almost after each meal. He is 7weeks old. Thanks

lovinam:

how? what are the consequences? because sometimes when the weather is really hot (& my son sweats a lot), I give him a shower and he really seems to enjoy it. when he poops now sef, I use cold water with soap to clean him up. only use wipes when we go out.

ijeoma2728:

well kid is very good. for fever, tepid sponge (wet towel) the whole body.

he's a big boy now, may not be pooping after every feed again so its normal as long as he's not constipated or showing signs of discomfort. system differs. mine too dint do excessive pooping after d initial few wks several-times-a-day poop.

En en? Thanks then. Was just wondering when everybody dey complain of using 1million diaper and me dey go slow and steady on it. At times if he isn't sleeping or not comfortable,i will change from one brand to another even though he isn't wet.

@ tchiwinnie,my boy has decided to help me cut cost on diaper. The boy na economist from above

Besides huggies n pampers, which other good diaper do you know?
