happy Sunday to u. pls how does one recognise the good ori/Shea butter oil. the last one I used was white in color. the recent one is yellowish. didn't notice the diff til I got home. does the color matter?

secondly, I read here that ori n coconut oil are good for baby's skin. my Lo is big n also sweats a lot n using any of those seem to make him sweat more n sometimes encourages aleefo or small rashes with tiny white dots which I think is caused by heat. so most times I use powder. yet his skin could look so dry with using just powder and no cream. what can I do pls?

lastly I know alefo leaves some scars that should disappear with time but some scars on his chest n back av refused to go. they are just there lighter than his skin tone. is there anything I can use to even up the tone. it doesn't look like eczema to me but I don't mind treating him for that just in case...so wat do I apply.

Ah! Ok! Good think you took an early step. Some don't bother, they will be looking for enemies responsible for the " attack"
I pray for speedy growth.

If your baby is below 1yr no need applying anything on his body. Why? Majority react to body creme/ lotion/ oil. Use corn starch powder(Boots or Johnson).

If nothing in his diet has changed recently, he could be teething. Also check your diet since he is still being breast fed.

My son is also a big baby with folds all over, you need to keep doing what you are already doing and bath him more whenever he sweats. I shower my LO at least 3 times a day,use natural black soap, light oils and talc.

CharmyBliz:


U can start with pap first, thier tender stomach
tolerates that. If you decide to introduce tin food, start with
a light cereal like rice, leav wheat till she is much older
Cant remember all now but U could try these:
-peeled apple boiled and mashed
-irish or sweet potatoes, boiled and mashed ( I add crayfish,
titus and tiny magerine or olive oil while cooking and blend
all together)
-blended oats(to smooth whil dry), cook and add milk
-well cooked and mashed peeled beans(u can introduce this at
about 9mnths and very minut quantity..not much at all)
-egg yoke (somtimes I add this to well cooked/mashed white
rice)
-yougut
These are the ones I can remember now. I'l sugest you try
the pap for 2-3wks first befor gradualy introducing any other
thing U feel lik. I started my baby on solid at 5mnths!
pap is mild, you can make it very light...dnt forget U introduc a food at a time and wait for like 4days before introducing another(I waited upto a week to intro new food cause my boy is very sensitive...but now two days max)
In all sis, do what you'r comfortable with and if you'r very
confused visit the ped. Heard every mum has great instinct,
don't ignor yours now!
All the best
abeg how do u pp make ur baby eat, seems it only my baby dt is different, I av to force him to eat pap, cerelac at 6 months, he won't take it still,as for NAN and sma gold, I just wasted my money, he wants to continue wit breast milk even after 6 months, and he looks small, 9kg at 6 months, imagine, in fact am really tired, av been praying to God to manipulate his appetite, may God help me o

Do you burp him properly after feeds? Please ensure he's well burped as in he belches out before you place him down.
Then you can pace his feeds, ie give him some,pause for a bit and continue till the entire bottle is finished.

You may also be over feeding him, reduce the quantity per meal even if this means feeding him more frequently.

have you tried multi vitamin drops for him?
You can also wait till he's hungry before bringing the formula or cereals.
some.children move straight to adult food ie they skip cereals and milk that will mean giving foods like noodles or boiled and mashed potatoes or even good old amala and ewedu.
see if you can get someone else to feed him he may accept it that way. It may be a case of him knowing you will bring out breast if he refuses everything you bring forward.
these pikins can see somebody finish lol

Hope these helps

Yes nothing. The skin won't be dry, just rub the powder on the neck region, the folds and baby is good to go. I've tried lotions and my kids developed rashes. I decided to stop, a nurse also told me to avoid lotions too. Try it and you will be amazed at no heat rashes

what have you done to remove that yeast infection you have. Do you really know what yeast infection is? Is a bad and dangerous disease that can turn your skin totally. Those bad rash you have is a completely yeast infection. Go and look at the picture here: www.nairaland.com/2361713/free-yourself-yeast-infection-within
