rezzy: Madam! You get mind o! Someone you dont know from Adam, all because she is elderly and sells agbo, diagnosed and prescribed 'drugs'....your landlord came and said some mumbo jumbo....and you jumped to give your little baby.....hmmmmmmmmmm!!!!! Haba!!! Not all babies are meant to be big! My son is the smallest kid in his class....but he is hitting his milestones. My son has always been a small baby. He never had all those folds that babies have. Our family friends have a daughter, dhe is about 3 weeks older than my daughter, my daughter is much bigger than her.....but this girl is qlready ssying BYE with her mouth and hands. She is just a little over 9 months. It's only in Nigeria people make a fuss about big babies. People made me feel so bad back in naija. It got to a point where I didnt even want to go out or wear fine clothes out, cos you get people looking at you as if you are spending money on yourself and not feeding your kid. My son was on Enfamil and imported cereals....different varieties....there was no mising of money. Long and short....you are putting your kid in harm's way. I really want to know the outcome of this experiment you are performing on your live kid. Pls let us know if he magically adds weight. Hopefully, it is not mawu mawu you are giving the poor kid. So vexed! 8 Likes 1 Share |

Mamas, hope u and ur los are doing great? May God in His infinite mercies bless us all. On d issue of herb taking (agbo), it does work if u get d original ones and use in moderation for babies I.e one or two drops in dia mouth esp for eela n alefo n ezcema. I did use for my son when he had alefo nd it worked. I didn't use orthodox drugs with d herbs. Used only herbs. But opinions differ, u can choose not to use it. In some cases drugs just offer temp relieve for them n u wait the rest out. Av a frnd whose baby had oka ori (greenish veins on d head), it prevents d baby from eating well n growing. All drugs just relieved temp until she used d herbs for it. I think its a personal decision. It saddens me when we castigate mothers who do. Everything is in moderation. #mythots Av a blessed day you all. 4 Likes 1 Share |

desiree:Traveled with my twins when they were four weeks. About 18 hours journey. When the plane is about to take off, make sure u start breastfeeding or at least he sucks on something. And constantly feed him. Request for a bassinet on the plane, or before u travel. Depending on the airline, some planes give pregnant women and women with babies extra care. Like u get to eat 'extra' snacks, extra water etc. always ask for them. When u re about to land too. Feed your baby. Mine dint even fuss one bit. And carry about 20 diaper and loads of wipes and ur babys food (if he's eating already), napkins, etc 3 Likes |

olaoyekemi: Mastitis is what you have...it happened to me when my LO was 2 weeks old. rub some olive oil on your tips and leave on for 10_ 15mins before washing off. You can take pain killers to deal with the temperature and pain but you will have to go and see your doctor for antibiotics. It is caused by accumulation of br east milk and your LO not sucking it out...so breas tfeed that pikin well well o. |

I bought once but since I stopped using US milk as my DD was reacting to it, I don't know the current price. Up till 2 weeks ago, she was still selling it as I bought some goods from her then. 1 Like 1 Share |

desiree: sayoberry: To add to what Sayoberry already listed. I will try to summarize the ones I can recall. She discouraged air travel shortly after I delivered because I wanted to make the trip earlier than 6weeks. Her reason was that newborns have developing immune systems and that air travel might increase a baby’s risk of catching an infectious disease, so she insisted my baby must be up to date in the necessary vaccines. Next, she talked about changing cabin pressure during a flight causes temporary changes in middle ear pressure, which can trigger ear pain. She said to help equalize the pressure in my baby’s ears, I should breastfeed or let her suck a bottle or pacifier during takeoff and landing. (she warned that I shouldnt overfeed my baby mid-air because bloated tummy may cause pain and crying) She also said thank God my baby wasn’t premature because there's a special flying safety tip for them that has to do with their respiratory system. She advised I wear my baby warm clothing, with cap, mitten and socks. Not forgetting a good blanket for the baby to keep warm. And to keep change of clothes handy. we cannot over-emphasize the Carrying of plenty diapers and wipes, it is very important. 2 Likes |
