Please mamas that take rota, pneumacoccal and MMR (pardon the spellings) when can babies take them. My baby is already 8 months o. Didn't bother about them till a friend's baby had pneumonia and no drug seems to be working. Now I'm wishing I had given my baby these vaccines. Is it to late? And for those residing in ado, where can I get them and how much? Thanks. |

hajarahbadmus: Accept and take it in good faith, the strength to cope will definitely come. When I got to know I was pregnant again, i vented all my anger on my baby. He was 8 months then, I beat him on the slightest provocation. After beating him, I will start crying. Even my dh was not exempted, whenever he called me, I will shout on him. I even thought of aborting but thinking of the wickedness on an innocent baby, made me cry the more. Immediately I began to tell myself the truth, I adjusted. Though, Ms didn't last up to 2 weeks. The funniest thing is that l kpekus once that month but forgot my cycle has changed to 31 days. It's not easy oo but im managing. |

@hajarahbadmus, everything will fall in place like @rezzy said. Some people stop breastfeeding once they discover they are pregnant. I did too but regretted it when I discovered that it won't disturb. Ask your doctor for advice. My baby was 5months + when I chopped the frog. God is your strength. 1 Like |

joyousf: No problem. My baby took her first doses of pnemo and rotavirus at 7months. We couldn't get a pharmacy that has in stock in Ado(julie o, twins oo) none had it, so I had to go to Akure to get it at 'his grace' pharmacy. But for her next dose(7th Nov), I've ordered for it in Aromokeye pharmacy in Ido, hopefully they will have it by then. Perhaps, if they can't it, I'll have to travel down to Akure for the next doses then(I pity myself cos that road ehn....but na for ma pikin,say make she dey healthy, I gatz to sacrifice sha). pnemo costs about 9k per dose(3doses) and rota costs about 7kplus(2 doses). I sincerely hope and I can get it here in Ido sha. |

Niyyah: hi angel, take it easy aii. she is fine. frm wht u described it has nothing to do with colic and d likes. that's just her own pattern and she will soon change. babies change every week so dnt worry. just make sure u establish a sleeping pattern for her and she will b fine. pele |

Niyyah: Like you said mayb you are not lactating well Why not buy a pump so u see exactly what u are producing. 1 Like |
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by Onegai(f): 8:25am On Oct 20, 2015 |
Niyyah: Relax your mind mama (it sounds like you're alone with her so that makes things crazier). When Baby E had that issue at 7 days old, it was because I wasn't burping her well. Have you tried that? Gas drives little newborns cray-cray. As for your milk, you have enough. Newborns stomachs don't grow to the size of an egg till a month, so they need a little but will eat a lot. Expressing won't show you how much you're producing because it is NOT as efficient as a baby's sucking motion (the best pumping machine is a hospital-grade $2, 000 electric pump which isn't sold in Nigeria so just forget it and you don't need it). So, how do you know if she's eating enough? Simple: how many diapers do you change daily? Minimum 7 to 12 diapers is fine. If she's peeing and pooping that much daily, she's fine. Also take her to weigh, if she's gaining even some small weight, she's fine. When you feed her, do you feel a tingling inside your breasts? That's your milk letdown (its coming in so she's drinking). Also give yourself a warm compress breast massage (use a hand towel and warm to hot water to massage the entire breast area, starting from under the armpit down to nipple). During the day, don't let her fall asleep at your breasts because it means (depending on if her latch is good) she eats a little and naps, then wakes up in 30 mins or hourly and eats a little more and naps. Which turns her into the World's Best Snacker (she's eating tube-tube rather than eating a full meal and resting). Which turns you into that Mummy Whose Boobs Are Constantly Out While She Does Nothing But Cries From Exhaustion And Frustration. ![]() you can take Fenugreek tablets (sold at Healthplus or Medplus pharma in Lagos) or fenugreek powder as a tea (sold at Indian stores or online from the natural hair shops like Sizzelle or African Naturalista), it boosts milk supply. If you do all this and she's not gaining weight, she's not peeing and pooping a lot, if you find some crystal-like crumbs in her diaper, if her poop is hard and not butter-looking, then she's dehydrated and give her formula.

Hernyolar:. Is it that they don't give immunization at FMC Ido or you just prefer adminstering it yourself? How about the primary health centres in the viccinity?My dear,if that's the only thing we can get for free as citizens of this nation, we should grab it with both hands. .. |
