@cutiereborn, most govt hosps/health centers give at 9months after 14weeks. 6months is usually infant welfare check up. However i've noticed some centers esply private give @ 6months. Whichever way, use a particular center and stick to their regimen.
@hafsat, increase your fluid intake and don't try to watch your weight yet. Put baby to breast often cos the more he sucks the more the production.

@soonest, thank you for the explanation. I guess I will stick to the 9months appiontment given to me at the Health center. Thanks again!

UmmTwins2 I also think it's colic, does his tummy swell? Ds also does that when sucking but after administering infacol it all stopped. Does your baby have a big navel?
Hafsat24 I noticed pregnacare breastfeeding helped me and when taking tea or pap put enough milk and Milo in the tea while for the pap put plenty milk. For the weight lemme share my story
Ds was 2.3kg at birth and at 3 days immunization he weighed 2.0kg but when we went for 6 weeks immunization his weight had reached 5.0kg. I will suggest you just concentrate on feeding him for now

@hafsat...am xo surprised now coz u've just stated all d tins am battling wit*but everytin seems to be a lil bit OK now.... my baby is 3weeks today, my breast milk is also not flowing well..& I noticed she was not getting enuf breastmilk @ a week plus..., she was lean too..! had to augment wit formula milk...! she's very OK now...she's taking d BM & formula togeda...! myt stop giving her d formula wen my BM starts flowing well so as to continue wit EBF...!also dealing wit *sore nipples too*..
My dear sis..its not funny at all..I'm so stressed..perhaps the reason why..my mum leaving so soon is really taking a toll on me..plus I'm a serving corp member..so you can imagine..can't remember when I had lunch last..thing is baby is latched on sucking almost all through the day..if I try to lay him down he wakes up..only time he sleeps well is after his bath in the morning nd at night..by 10am he's up..and feeding..the night own is another thing.. cheesy..I can go on and on..all in all.. God is our strength..its a phase that will pass.the joys of motherhood grin

If your baby has not learn to latch on to the breast correctly he may not be getting adequate breast me. U don't have to always take gainsay serious. Baby tends to lose weight after bath and they will also recover after a while. It think your baby is in that stage. When you go for next immunisation he would be weighed. Then you can start monitoring his weight. 3 weeks is too early to start complaining about baby not gaining weight.

As per your breast you can try out fenegruk (don't knw if that's correct) read back a page or 2 you will see where it is mentioned. Other experienced mamas will also comment.
Thanks mama kiss.. He latches on well I think..my thoughts exactly bout the weight gain thingy..il try out the fernugreek

10x for ur response bt I dn't think it's colic o. He had colic frm birth bt that's stopped for a while now. Does colic go n come back? Ds current pain is more than when he had colic. 10x once again, mothers pls help me wt remedies o

Yes. Some babies experience colic even up till 6 months. Like I said in my earlier post, give him infacol or take him to the hospital.

Good day Mamas, I trust our LO's are doing great.
Pleasse I have a question for those of you whose LO's have been given immunization @ 14wks, when is your next appiontment? 6months or 9months, cos during antenatal, we were thaught it was 6mnths before 9months, but today after my DD 14wks, the next appiontment thEy gave us was for 9months at the health center. I asked them if it was a mistake but they said it was the right thing, cos no immunization @ 6months as I was told at d private hospital where I put to bed.
Thanks in advance!

I don't know the immunisation schedule in nigeria but at my end, at my baby's 4th month, he had been administered all his vaccines. He's not due for another vaccine till he's one year old.

Get 'lasinoh' cream for your sore nipples. It is very,very effective and gives almost instant relief.

Take oats or pap with lots of milk. It will increase your milk supply.

Even though your milk isn't flowing well, don't stop breast feeding your baby as often as possible (as it helps in improving your flow) and you can keep supplementing with formula until your milk flow can meet up with your baby's demand.

Try increasing your own fluid intake too. Good old pap and water plus a balanced diet helps stimulate breast milk. Also try not to be anxious or stressed. Because anxiety reduces breast milk flow....
Thanks mama..I do take lots of water..truth be told I'm so stressed..will try managing it..thanks plenty smiley

No. It won't affect your baby. Your baby can suck with the cream still on your nipple or if you can just wipe it off with a clean towel if you wish
