They've always had 2 branches, the second one is on Chevron drive. I held out for a piercing gun but the hospital didn't have needles so they used the manual, old school surgical earring and it worked fine.

**sighs**

Mothers, what can I say? You are exactly where the company wants you to be by justifying with your own reasons why it should be okay to feed your baby with golden morn.

The word infant has several definitions depending on who is defining. Nestle initially gave their definition of infants to be 3 years which was very clear, but for some reasons best known to them, they removed that very important definition and left mothers second guessing who an infant is. Isn't that act fishy?

And as they rightly projected, mothers started feeding their infant babies with golden morn and justifying it with the fact that "infant" is not properly defined. So in essence, the company is gaining back its lost market share and at the same time avoiding litigation if anyone decides to sue them for any consequences that might arise from feeding babies with golden morn since they still have it written on the pack that it's not for infants. Perfect marketing strategy, but is it the best for babies and mothers?

And they have also refused to say exactly why it is wrong, thereby making mothers second guess why it is or not suitable for infants. I wish it were just an issue of "difficult to digest" but you will be surprised it is much more.

In all of this, I'll advise mothers to be very discerning when it comes to matters like this and choose to err on the side of caution. If there is so much confusion as to whether something is good for my baby or not, especially if it is something that is consumed; personally, I'll rather wait till I am double sure the food or medicine as the case may be is good for my baby. Babies are too precious to serve as guinea pigs in corporate experiments. I wouldn't take any known risk on my baby no matter how much my baby loves the food or medicine.

And talking of reaction, let's remember that some reactions do not manifests till months or even years later. God help us all in taking the right decisions for our babies.

Actually, Nestle didn't remove the warning. Please get a Golden mourn pack and read through it very well, It is now written there that Golden mourn is an acceptable everyday cereal for 9-13 years old only.. I was shocked when I saw it. I will try to snap it today when I get home as proof but you can check if you have a golden mourn pack. So if anything happens to your baby, they are all cleared.

Is your neighbour a doctor? I have personally never heard of any antibiotics to be given to a newborn because he needs cleansing. Why would your baby be exposed to dirty things in-utero, at the most crucial stage of his life? Why won't your Gynaecologist mention this info to you all through pregnancy? Please that information is false and untrue, don't drug your baby because of someone who knows nothing. Take your baby to the hospital and show them the boils.

Unless a PEDIATRICIAN told you to give your child vitamins, do not give anything to your baby.

See how someone will harm another person's child with wilful ignorance. Please avoid that neighbour henceforth because that info he/she gave you is not just false, it is dangerous and harmful to your child.

Mama, don't discount eyewitness account till you have a reason to, we can't see princess to judge & it will be inappropriately & irresponsible to advise either ways, could be nothing,could be something,. best let a competent Paed have a look & give professional opinion.. It is well....

I get where everfaithfulGod is coming from, i was given same advise with my 1st, fortunately i made ANC a priority & being a strong willed soul i didn't capitulate to the Amipiclox advise @8days.....

Later being friends with profs in the baby field just made me happy i dodged that bullet... Folks will make you feel guilty for anything...

My mum said she won't give my kids PCM without my express approval cos what my friends don't disprove, internet will say it is wrong & asked me sarcastically once if i appeared in her life fully grown..

How is our wifey?

Really?? Could you pls take a pic of where this is written on your pack? Looks like there are several different packs of golden morn out there in the market.

Mine still carried the usual "golden morn is not an infant cereal" on the right hand side of the pack and "suggested serving for 9-13 years" written on the left side. I couldn't find that bolded statement of yours anywhere on my pack. Thnks

Another question....
My DD is 2 months and I've not pierced her ears yet. Her dad wants it done though, son my question is... Is it too late now, like would it be really painful now that she's not that much of a new born anymore and how soon does it heal cos the only way she'll sleep is on her tummy and I'm worried about her resting on the pierced ears. I'm also worried about breastfeeding cos she tends to rest on her ears whilst in my arms.... And carrying her on my chest....! Sigh!
I wish I could avoid it and save her the pain. It's quite upsetting actually.
Thanks mamas

Too late at two months? Some people circumcise at 2 months self
I pierced my daughter's ears at 7 weeks

It's not a big deal, of course she cried when it was pierced but it's not worse than immunization. Go ahead

It healed really fast, mayb 1/2 days, I used methylated spirit /rubbing alcohol to clean it

I also used gold earring but thats cuz I have nickel allergy, don't want to find out the hard way that she does too

My babies sleep on their back till they can roll over, but since your baby is used to side sleeping, you need to constantly turn her on both sides till she gets comfortable with both. Pls don't let her get used to just one side. As per her head tilting to one side, she is just 3 months like you noted with no head control so I wouldn't worry too much about it except it's something very obvious.

Again, do you back her very often? If you do, are you sure her neck is properly positioned? Pls don't worry about this if you don't.

If u can, get this baby pillow for her.It helps for support. Bt I don't think u shld bother much abt wot dose pple re saying o. They also told me one side of my son's head was flat cos he was sleeping on one side too. Bt d boy get uniformly shaped head o. lol. Do wot u can sha, maybe wen u turn her to her ryt, u support wt some soft cloths/shawl. bt watch closely.

Hello sabi mamas. I had my princess 3weeks ago with tears and cut. Now i feel a pulling pain around my urethra when i stand up, most tyms i ve to bend cos of the pain. I'm really worried cos i took all my drugs and i still do my sit baths. I feel no pain when i pee and no smelly discharge. Please has anyone been thru this?

Congrats on your princess. The pain will go away with time. Its from the sutures of the episiotomy site. You can use a pain reliever spray around the area or just take pain relievers. If the pain is so severe,you have to see the obstetrician
