stechi: Well aptamil seems to be the rave of the moment ![]() Though it's a bit pricey but the reviews on it are good. Or else Cow & Gate, Nan, SMA gold are more affordable options and good too. 1 Like |

Eudora: You need to get that trembling leg checked out immediately. It'll also help your state of mind. There's nothing wrong with palm kernel oil and Shea and olive oil. Just make sure its used moderately. If you really don't want it simply ask the care giver firmly not to use it. Johnson products do not lighten the skin and besides every baby cannot be yellow Why is skinneal being used? Was it recommended because I know its not an everyday body cream. Please be careful with its use While babies should be kept warm I don't think closed windows all day is the solution. Again its you who can moderate that If you have made up your mind to exclusively breastfeed the baby then you better begin to eat properly or else it'll be a waste of time for all involved. If your mum is available to cook let her do so and you eat small meals frequently round the clock. Welcome to motherhood 2 Likes |

Eudora my sons leg trembles briefly too sometimes and every elderly person around me says hes gonna be tall and huge ![]() Sabi mamas help me out here please at our six weeks immunization my mum refused my son from being giving the PCV1 and ROTAVIRUS1 vaccines which are called "specials" and cost 7500 and 9500 respectively! We only took the penta which cost 250 naira! Her reason was that they were unnecessary! And the nurses too didn't say much or try to convince me to allow my son take it. I also observed some other mother's too that their LOs didn't receive the vaccinne! Next Wednesday is our 10weeks rounds and I want to give my son the PCV2 and ROTAVIRUS2 should I or shouldn't I? I googled it and saw that its a combo vaccine that protects a child against a number of diseases and I feel so bad that I didn't allow my son take its first dose. Will it still be effective since we missed the initial dosage? And does it cost that much everywhere or is my hospitals price inflated? Please help a confused mum out please. |

Chinwendym: mama, pls give your son the Rota and PCV immunization, I didn't give my baby initially, becos we traveled and everybody around me including a matron said I shouldn't, but wen we got back to my base, the doctor that took my baby's delivery insisted that I give my daughter the immunization, he says it prevent diarrhea and other diseases especially this season that diarrhea is flying up and down, my daughter started taking hers at 3months, she will take the last dose b4 she clocks 6months. It is the same price u mention. 2 Likes |

@chinwedym, with my first i gave pcv and rotavirus cause they were available but in the others i didn't. My 2nd even has better immunity than the 1st but that's by the way. If the vaccine is available and you have the cash, why not. They will hv to start from pcv1 and rotavirus1 if you decide to give him in your next visit. Greeting to Ekene bobo. @Eudora, my son's leg tremble esply when half awake and when there's a sudden noise. I hv experienced it wit all my kids and see as normal. If you hadn't asked, i wouldn't hv given it a thought. 1 Like |

good morning great mothers... I'm a ftm.. my LO will be 2months by 29th.. he's growing so fast.. he's a bundle of joy.. we are not feeding on EBF cos I don't lactate well..personally hes gradually refusing BM(he pushes the nipple out with his tongue and tries to throw up if forced.. I've tried expressing but he won't just take it even when forced instead he'll shout not even cry). my problem now is he doesn't pass stool for like 3-4 days and when he wants to he will just be crying..and it comes out strong.. I'm worried... I give him enough water.. orange and gripe water(as recommended) but nothin has changed.. any suggestions beautiful and fabulous mothers |

@mifavour, are you sure you don't make his formula a bit too concentrated? Keep giving dilute fresh orange juice. When bathing him, you can use his massage towel and drip warm (a bit hot) water on his anus. It stimulates them to pooh. All the best 4 Likes |

mifavour: The other mamas have given you excellent advice. You have to watch the scoops of formula powder you put in his bottle. I always go a scoop less (sometimes 2 scoops less) than the recommended amount on the pack. Give him water first when he's hungry before feeding him with formula. This will ensure he takes a good quantity of water 'on empty stomach' and it will help in ensuring he passes stools often. For example, if he's due for a meal at noon and his usual quality is 50ml, give him 20ml water first and then 30ml formula. If he takes for example 6 bottle a day, apply this method for one or two meal times a day. Finally, make sure the water you give him to drink is warm. This also helps their digestive system and helps in preventing constipation. 5 Likes |
