TANX dear, but she had a warm bath few hours ago and she's calmer now.....hope...that wont affect the vaccine?
No it won't affect him cos the nurse said if I want to bath him I should be very careful with the laps, so I just avoided it. How is she doing today?

At 11 months no need for infant car seat, just buy the convertible (forward facing). Graco and Chico are good brands but expensive, just buy anyone that looks ok to you, as long as the child is belted in he will be fine

Thanks ma, please how expensive are they cos the prices I dey see for jumia are beyond my budget o!

Do you know that would be so nice, especially to IDPs and hospitals where they are more likely to have newborns requiring milk. I know a lady that her milk dried up 2 weeks after birth and she was determined to give her son bm exclusive for at least 3 months. She not only got donated bm but she would ask her friend who had plenty milk to come over and nurse her son twice a week. My brother's gf tactfully suggested the same thing (her friend had oversupply and she wanted to donate to me) but my mum was already acting like a typical Naija woman (craze and all) so I didn't take the offer and supplemented with formula and cried my eyes out.

Give him food in bits hourly or every 2 hours.
Like 5 teaspoons of rice instead of a whole plate.
One slice of bread.
3 rolls of eba or any swallow food with okro or plain stew ( veggies tend to cling to their throat)
If its little he wont feel the pressure of being too full to the extent that he will force himself to vomit. He wont use the toilet as he used to.
Gradually increase the intake like every 2 weeks.

Fish/ Meat as he requests.
1 egg daily.
A glass of milk daily.
Carrots, apples, banana and other sweet and crunchy fruits. Even if its just a slice.

Does he like any food in particular?
Give him and prepare it in the most healthy way you can. With lots of protein and veggies.
Kids usually love dodo ( fried plantain)
If he has a sweet tooth then you may want to invest on healthy treats. Certain biscuits have a whole wheat or oatmeal base and loaded with vitamins and minerals. He can munch on them allday everyday.


Is your Dr a Paedatrician? If yes, you may want to seek a 2nd opinion. If No, then please see one.

Goodluck.

Had this been from birth?

My daughter used to too, she was diagnosed with reflux but she outgrew it around her one year birthday.

Pls see a good and qualified pediatrician, if you can afford it and you live in Lagos I recommend Reddington or premier hospital cuz those are the pediatricians I used

Else any good govt hospital should do

Merry christmas

And pls in God's name stop beating him, this may be a medical problem and you are handling it by beating him? cry

thanks a million' most so called medical experts we've seen keep telling us he will outgrow it; that it's just his character' over a year/six months now. It's really given me great concern.. most time, after feeding him, he starts coughing just to stop the food from digestion, when u spank him repeatedly, he cries and forgets it after a while' that's where d beating comes to play. Do have a prosperous 2016.

You may need to change 'experts' . There are plenty things that he needs food for o, not only to grow fat @ this stage. He needs it for mental and physical growth.
Go to Lifeline Children's hospital if you can afford it or Maternal and Child Centre Gbaja. They cater to only kids.
@ MCC Gbaja, insist that you want a scan to be done to check out his digestive tract abeg. Just to be on the safe side.

Also google on the likely causes.
You may also want to talk to him, why does he do it? Is sth irritating him? Would he like to give new dishes a try? If he doesnt open up to you, gt his fav adult to talk to him. They are usually talkative at this stage.

Dont stop till you find a solution.
Something is making him vomit beating him will only make him more scared of feeding time.

Goodluck.
