Add a little eucaplytus oil to his normal oil....you can then rub on his chest and hair too. The minty smell would clear his sinus.....be careful sha cos it has a really strong mint content. Let him suck well to for vit C.

thank you. I'll try it.

You can mix ABF or funbact-A tube cream in her normal cream or ori and rub it on d spots affected. Besides shes still small, her body is still making adjustments so the hair will still grow.

But if it doesnt, you can wait till shes a little older then cut d hair and let it re-grow. grin

All mama pikins... How are you all this morning? Thanks for your lovely messages and words of comfort. I'm better now. #officially an orphan# Lol.
May we not suffer over this children of ours . we won't become customers at the hospital in Jesus name. We will not mourn over our children.

The twins were two months old two days ago. They take more breast milk than formula since I still stay home for now. My boy cries a lot... Like a lot, doesn't sleep on time, eats toooo much and once he sleeps its like sleeping pill... He can slepp for four hours straight without waking for food in the afternoon. To the extent that I go and check if he's alright. Then in the night we do night vigil, sing lullaby, dance, play game, read story, drink water, suck and suck, wake the girl up with cry and then finally sleep... Like 2 am and wake up by 5am. undecided

The girl no get issues. Gentle pikin like me. grin

Their poo has softened a bit, but they still strain when on it. Na to dey drink water more than food remain.
Meanwhile, I put the twin of them in the same crib so they still feel like they are still inside mummy. They give themselves blows, kicks, put their legs on each other when they sleep. At first I wanted to separate them, but I noticed that when one is about to wake and moves then touches the other twin, they sleep back.
Finally how are you all doing?

Its called alefo in yoruba.....and its beleived that its big babies dat usually have it.
Mix ABF in his ori cos its too strong for his skin. Then dont prick it and dont scrub it too much, let it burst on its own. Also use agnesia powder or prickly heat powder so that it would dry on time.

They are both ok.....but i think that nesquik contains more sugar, so you should watch it. Ovaltine has malt content and its really rich.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE OVERWEIGHT FOR EVER
My husband used to complain that after four
kids I no longer take care of myself that am I
the only married woman with kids? He was
adamant that his friend's wife has four kids too
and yet she looks trim without big belly and
smart. I continue to BE adding weight as I never
take him serious for his complaint as I felt
nothing can be done about it. Until recently
when personally I started yo be feeling
embarrassed going out with him because I look
so big and weigh also I find it difficult to do
most of those domestic and office work I do
before.
I felt bitter but lowered my pride to ask a friend
on how she has been maintaining her look and
she showed me a bottle
of T5fatburners T5 Fat burner pills.
The secret is out guys and you can buy the pills
by clicking here (all natural and safe) it is the
strongest legal weight loss pills. All you need to
do is take 1 tablet as soon as you wake up and
it will curb your appetite, give you lots of energy
and burn the fat off - Do not take late at night
as you will have too much energy to sleep. Very
simple http://­

hello pls,where can I get those pills,and hope it doesn't ve any side effect to d body,thank u

Wait!!! You mean his tooth fell out!!!!!!!!!! Wow! I'm sorry but you guys were not careful enough. My son likes to climb too and once I see him climbing the dining chair I give him a stern warning. ( The chair is high). The living room chairs or bed he climbs cos they are not quite high. You guys should never have encouraged him o! Babies are smart if you had warned him, he won't have tried that stunt again. I think you should take him to a good dentist. He still needs to be checked out by a med personnel. Well work!
I'm telling u,we mother need to be vry careful about dis babies of ours,they re too fast

It depends dear. My son had catarrh and cough for almost 2weeks. I used d Eucalyptus oil abi wetin dem call am, it didn't do anything. I took him to see a pead, on d 2nd visit, full blood count was done and d result came out well. D paediatrician explained to me that it's viral so she adviced me not to use anything that his immune system wud fight it that they only prescribe drugs if it's bacterial infection. She gave me Otravine nasal drop to apply twice a day just to help with d blocked nose especially at 9t.

It wasn't easy though watching him cough and see catarrh dripping then breathing with his mouth mainly but everything stopped gradually on its own.

Pls buy baby tribotan, works like magic (stay away from funbactA, adult tribotan, skineal, ABF, they contain strong steroid).
Also buy savlon (nt dettol nor purit o) and mix in his bath water, try make it concentrated till d elaa resolves, dn u cn reduce d quantity u use to suit u.
Ds worked for me when my baby had elaa n alefo

why can't u ask d nurse,even though they will shout at you,I'm guessing its a family planning injection,cos once after giving birth,I dnt think they need to give u any injection again,only if its by choice,now u dnt knw d type of injection they gave u,which is vry risky,bt I think its a family planning injection,ignorance is bad sha,as u see me so,I knw dat public hospital nurses re vry rude,bt dat doesn't stop me frm asking wat I dnt knw,even many times,even if they re going to insult me,I dnt care

Most likely tetanus toxoid injection, mite b the hospital policy to make sure women complete their 5doses. Nevertheless, pls go back and ask wat d injection is for. No hosp wil do family planning for u against ur wish, hope ds helps
