Thanks a lot sis dats exactly what my doc told me. He said antibiotics is a no no for kids.

When doctors give antibiotics, it's because they have weighed the risk-benefit ratio.

And as for the cradle cap, many children often get it or it worsens, after they have had a round of antibiotics. It is actually a common thing, even in Adults. That's why some women get thrush, after they finish a round of antibiotics.

Something about upsetting the balance of good:bad bacteria, which makes fungi thrive.

For real?

Yes sis. Very effective!

Good day my sabi mamas,

How are you all today? Pls I want to ask how safe is olive oil (goya oil) on my baby's hair. I was using johnson baby oil on her hair then she started reacting to it.. Was advised by a friend to use goya oil..pls help a confused FTM.

Una do well.

I use olive oil on my daughter's hair. Goya is the common brand in Naija. It is safe and fine. Don;t let the fact that it is commonly used as annointing oil scare you lol....all na olive oil...some people use it to cook sef.

Johnson has been known to have a 'not-so-good' effect on African skin and hair.

Ayolight may God help. Thought to share as I sa this on fb

Thanks mamas for all your contributions. You guys rock!
I saw a pead. today and she asked me to use baby tribotan from his head to toe that it'll clear. She also said the nystatin suspension like they say "curing from the inside", that there's no harm in giving.
All in all, i'll be using coconut oil n shea butter. i want his hair to come out fast for his dedication cos d thing don cut hm hair wella.

Get olive oil/coconut oil.

Rub it all over his head...generously.

Wait for 20-30 mins, depending on the severity.

Pick up a fine-toothed comb (picking comb), and gently ease the flakes off the scalp.

Then wash with a good shampoo...preferably sebamed or aveeno products.

Do that for a week and come back to testify.


Depending on the severity, you can even start seeing changes in as short as 2/3 days. Just ensure you don't peel it or pick at it with your fingers. You can infect the scalp.

Yes it is caused by a fungi, but I dont think it requires giving antifungal medication yet. Try the home remedy. It worked for both my kids. With my son, I didnt get the info on time, until I browsed baby centre, so it took about a week to clear off...but with my daughter, it went away within 3 days.

Well said...and babies eventually out grow cradle cap whether it is treated or not. The oil soaking method is just a way of managing/controlling it. My munchkin does not have it anymore and all I did was use olive oil and shampoo.

my baby finds it difficult sucking from the day he was born. i discovered his tongue was tied and it was cut few days ago when he was 2months 1week. now, he won't even try at out. did i do the right thing? am so scared

I need to rant, I want to rant...I want to scream, I want to cry. My baby do not sleep if I don't dance with him for at least 30 minutes, if I try to sit,he would scream and cry his eyes out and then he will sleep for like 10minutes only for him to wake up and then the dancing cycle starts again from the top. we do this for about 3 times before he finally settles to sleep. My back and my stitches aches like crazy cos he has started this at 4weeks and he is almost 7weeks now. Infact, a part of my stitches got opened and I know the culprit is cos I carry him to sleep. Please how can I help him sleep, I have tried putting him in a rocker,tried to place him down and pacify him to sleep nothing is working and I am feeling really worn out. HELP!!!

Pele. weldon . some babies don't just sleep easily but the good part is that they change. my baby too could be that way. sometimes he changes n sleeps well. long and on some days its no sleep n all crankiness.

just keep trying ur best: sing, rock, back, rock on ur arms, or shoulder. amazingly even telling a story could work while rocking. u might also want to ensure that d place where u are putting ur baby to sleep is quiet n also reduce lightning. these generally help mine to sleep.

Good evening mamas, pls I gave birth through cs my tummy is still very big. It's 2 months already. Please what can I do to reduce it. When can I exercise?

desiree:


The IUD(coil) is what I'm on now. I used it before this current LO and I had it for 4 years....but you have to be able to bear the monthly pain and heavy bleeding. I dread my AF every month.

My gynecologist tried to convince me to go on the pill, saying it has 100% success rate.... but I said No. I would rather deal with the pain than get fat.

Any mother know of a BC pill that doesn't make you gain weight?

Am on jadell implant which lasts five years nd its been 10mnths I had it fixed,at first I thought it ws making me gain weight bt I eventuall knew d cause of my weight gain nd am bac 2 ma size,no pain at all bt d 1st 3 mnths ws hellish cos I bled lik anoda tin,now I dnt even see my MP every mnth sef.

@Rieme, I also gave birth 9 weeks ago, I hv bn taking only warm water, no cold drinks, no pounded yam, lol, took plenty peppersoup, fruits & vegetables. I also usually place hot towel on my tummy when bathing & most importantly, exclusive breastfeeding.

Depending on how the tongue is tied,it doesn't make babies suck well and trust me you did the right thing cutting that tongue cos your baby will thank you for it in the future. Have you tried feeding your baby with the bottle, tongue tied children find it easier to feed from the bottle than the breast.
if you are doing exclusive breastfeeding, try expressing to a bottle and watch if your baby will drink more from it.

dunnybaby26:



Wrap it wt paper nd grind,pour in d ori nd mix very well

does this prevent eela in baby bums or how

@lamdec, it is normal to rant o, and babies go tru that phase, u can imagine rocking and all and then when I put my LO down to sleep, you just see him smiling at you throwing hands and legs and m like see this boy o. But the good thing is they change if not everyday, every week. He will still change and sleep longer also. Well done mama. I pray we all reap the fruit of our labour.

Thanks so much. I have actually stopped the warm water and pepper soup I have to resume back. Still look pregnant and I'm resuming work soon. EBF makes me eat so much middle of the night eating and all. God help us.
