hello dear,my 1year,6month baby touches d back of his gum everytime,when he does dat,he cry instantly and stopped,I noticed d gum is swollen,which I suspect teething,and I gave him paracetamol to stop d pain,bt [b]wats making me to doubt is dat,I do give him bobo,viju milk and do buy lolli pop sweets for him,can it be d sugary things dat cause him to be feeling pains there in his gum,[/b]should I stop giving him sweet things,pls help me out dear,tanx

Plssssssss stop giving him these stuffs. I would also have suspected teething but teething usually doesn't accompany swollen gums or constant crying except that period when the teeth is about to burst out and that's not even in all cases.

I would advise that you take him for treatment and pls stop the the sugary things. It's bad enough for adults who already have full set of teeth how much more infants who are just about to start.

@Rieme, yes it's bk to almost pre-pregnancy size, It went down d 6th week, though I still have stretch marks. I guess d hot water I was drinking helped a lot & d uda peppersoup too.

I stopped d uda peppersoup when a friend said it reduces the weight of babies, don't know how true dat is too bt I'm still drinking d hot water & eating frequent light food.

Relax, it took 9 months for that tummy to grow big so don't expect it to go down like magic. Give it time, eat right, and breastfeed often. And don't think it's big because of C.S, even those who do vaginal birth still have big tummies. Since you're resuming work, shop for peplum tops and gowns, make sure they're not too fitted. If the stitch is properly healed, get a tummy trimmer (looks like a high waist tight). I did all these and I now have an amazing body. Those who saw me at my baby's naming ceremony keep asking what I did to the big tummy.

In many Nigerian tribes new born babies are fed with chickweed tea to wash out impurities that the baby might be born with.

In any case, chickweed not only cleanses the body, it functions as an effective cure for infant colic. The reason is because chickweed aids digestion, as such, it not only breaks down food fast but gas as well. This is why it comes handy in treating peptic ulcers.

It's colic. Let him b,it wil pass. Ensure he burps well after meal and tummy time too helps

@ nursekaffy,
Thanks for your prompt response,am also suspecting he has reflux,after each feeds and he wants to belch or burps,he spits out some of the food.

@ MiracleMum God bless you. This was really helpful.

Sounds like normal regurgitation. Reflux is frequent projectile vomiting, difficulties sleeping, crying after every feed,arching back, frequent hiccups, etc

I sincerely pray it isn't reflux, trust me colic is child's play where reflux is

I would take that kid to a doctor....and let the doctor know exactly what happened, so they wont think it is just a regular cold.

pls mamas my baby is teething and have been stooling a lot. I have given her zinc tablet to reduce the stool. I read from this forum not to give teething mixtures but to give sterilized teething rings which I did. Don't know what to do to stop the everyday stooling.@proudmum38 my mum didn't let me take soft drinks,malt,too much sugary stuff so that baby would purge.

Morning sabi mamas and papas. Abeg, make wuna help me ooo. My son vomit sometimes immediately after eating and when he belges sometimes too. As soon as he belge, he hiccups very heavy. Is it reflux?

kechyl:
@favoredgal, I did cs and I was asked not to tie any thing on my tummy or do any exercise so dat d place will heal faster, dat was what I did.

My tummy has gone down even without tieing anything on it. For me, I won't advice anyone who was sectioned to start exercising after 6 weeks.

Yes o. I tried it nd my tummy wanted to burst open. I was in pain. Even skipping is nt gd fa. I tried it too nd suffered d consequences. Mothers that gave birth through CS pls give urself time to heal.

I mean dt little boil dt shows after taking d vaccine. I can't even c any mark on d place he took d vaccine.

@ rieme26, a friend of mine that usually gives birth through CS drinks lemon mixed with warm water (freshly squeezed lemon) first thing in d morning before food and last thing at night while waiting for the scar to heal before using corset. But you have to be sure your baby is not reacting to it.

Please mamas, does baby tribotan makes babies sweat? My DS sweats like crazy since i started using it for cradle cap and its kind of making his skin dry. Any remedies? i also notice that his stomach is rumbling (making sounds), is it something to be worried about? i don't want my mum giving him agbo o as she has started saying its diarhia. He's 2months, 3 weeks, on EBF and his poo is still soft and yellowish. Thanks

it does not happen everytime. My son does not have the mark, but my daughter does.

And it DEFINITELY does not take 6 weeks/6 months...hian. Those that have the mark get it shortly after. My daughter's own started showing the a few days after it was given....if not the same day sef.

i read somewhere it is because the injection is given to deep at times, that is why it does not show. Apparently,t he injection is supposed to be sub-cutaneous (under the skin).

my dear, stop the worries. it wil go back. remember it took 9 whole months 4 dat tummy to be big. just be patient. my baby weighs 5.6kg at birth and i had increase fluid too. so, just imagine how big dat tummy was, bt 10 weeks now, its back almost to its normal size. so, just relax.

Rumbling tummy na gas. Try to lay him on his tummy he will pass it out. Pls u need to be monitoring him while on his tummy.
