@maran, I ddnt do anything special o! iam still surprised myself cos he was walking round d house yesterday as if he is used to it..
I suspect its because he holds my cloth and follows me round d house walking instead of crawling so he is used to it. he preferred me holding his hands to walk instead of carrying him. sometimes he will hold my hands especially if he is hungry and we will walk together to the kitchen. he just gathered the nerves to do it on his own..

Add coconut oil to the mix. It's really effective.
Also try combing her hair is portions, instead of all at once.
Hope this helps

This has been my cross for 3 weeks now. My 8 months old baby poos after every feed and its lose. He stopped for a week and started again. Took him to the hospital and was given emgyl, ors and zinc, i doubt those things worked. He no longer sucks, stopped himself at 6 months. When i went bavk to the hospital the doctor said it is teething cos he is still over active if not hyper, he is feeding well and drinking water like camel. The thing i do now is take it to the Lord in prayer as i yaff taya for the poo.

As a mum, I know it's part of the great mum requirement to worry about Everything. cheesy but on this, DO NOT, some toddlers still have the pinkish looking bumps... don't know why it's like that but some don't dissolve on time..



@ mytestimony, do you do princess hair? Do you pack/section in tight buns or mini plaits?


@ stadora, can we try nizoral shampoo?

Pls mamas, I bot ds breast pump, But cudnt use it cos I feel its nt Gud. Is it posible dat a breast pump wil not b effective or its me dat doesn't no how 2 use it. I feel like cryin anytime I want 2 use it butvit wunt pump.
Pls Wo has used ds type n how does it work? Pls mamas come 2 my aid, as I cant afford 2 buy anoda 1.

hello dear, sorry about your predicament- these things happen. Have you tried using the manual that came with ur pump? I got a breast pump from www.mifant.com and it was pretty straight forward to use and rather painless.

Now I dont know what type of pump you have but normally, to use an electric pump, you put the breast phalange that comes with the pump over your nipple then turn on the machine, and it would suck your milk into an attached container. Manual pumps also use a phalange, but you extract the milk by operating a squeeze mechanism or pulling a plunger with your hand.

It usually takes ten to 15 minutes to pump both breasts with a good electric pump and up to 45 minutes with a hand pump

Its called eela/nla. My baby usually has it. Dey say it happens 2 fat babies or when the baby wants to gain weight(don't know how true it is anywayz). I changed his cream to coconut oil. Then like mummy2be said, get vegas and mix with baby tribotan. It worked for my son. The red leaf too works if u are able to get it.
