I do not wait for days before taking my baby to hospital once he is running temperature its very risky. Take her asap. I'm my case once my son is running temperature I'll check if it's been long I treated malaria n once I give him anti malaria he is fine most times

babythug:


What position do.you place her to.sleep? Could it be that?
Change position to the side and place something behind her so shd wont roll to the back and lets see...

Can't think of anything else. You may need to see your paed on the subject if it continues though

ozycy:

You can use damp cloth to be cleaning her body often for the mean time. What's her temperature dats if you have a thermometer so as to know if to rush her to hospital or wait till morning. Zino will be find.

Hello Mothers in the house.

I urgently need your advice please. I have a ten months old baby that i drop at the creche every morning and I ensure that I leave enough food for him everyday. Each day when i go to pick my boy at the creche, I am always told his food has finished and sometimes i am called while at the office that the food i dropped as finished.
My worry is that, on weekends when I am at home with my boy, he doesnt eat as much quantity as what i drop at the creche. So i am begining to wonder if they have not been using my baby's food to feed other babies. The most worrisome part is that my boy's weight has not increased much despite the large volume of food i drop at the creche everyday.

Mothers, please advise me on what to do. I dont want to change the creche as I might run into a worse trouble than this. Is there a way I can regulate my baby's food at the creche?

Thanks
Worrried Parent.

Permit me to ask what quantity of food you drop for the child?

When it runs out while you are at work, what do they do to feed the child?

kilonso001:
On Tuesday for example, I dropped half a tinful of Nutrilac and was told he finished it by evening when i went to pick him. Meanwhile, he doesnt eat that much when he is at home with me.
Whenever they call me from the office that his food has finished, I have a friend who I call and plead with to help me buy a tin of food and drop at the creche till I come back in the evening when I can repay her.

modath:



Babe, you have to be firm, you let lil man know there are rewards/ consequences for any action of his, do not succumb NOW, you have to lay a foundation for how you mean to proceed...

By proceed I mean, Discipline & we discipline to correct & not to punish, We can't have him biting or hitting his classmates or teachers... No bueno.....

Would have posited "Terrible Two" but you mentioned begging him before he stops which is a clear indication that he knows what he is doing & is only testing your limit.... Don't let him take control out of your hands..


Potty training is a pain in the butt but hang in there & continue to gently steer him towards the potty, get him a fancifully designed potty that he'd like to sit on...

As for the chest pain, see a Dr, doesn't sound like pneumonia to me, Pneumonia comes with coughing & Wheezing...

Do an ECG.



**My way (what works for me ) which I'm not prescribing**

You hit me, I hit right back, I won't tell you "i'll beat you <insert name here>, I go ahead & tap his/her butt. You bite me, I'm putting my teeth on your skin too... I'm all for "gentle" use of the rod!! I'm not sparing you unless you are less than 1!

I am not in obodo oyinbo, won't raise obodo oyinbo children!!

AlphaHandMaiden:


Hello
May be they are not measuring it it as you do at home.

If for instance you use 2 spoons at home and in the creche they use 4, it will obviously finish quicker. Not also ruling out that they may be using it for other kids or even taking it home.... anything is possible.

Rather than dropping the whole tin, why not try measuring out each feed in small individual containers. you drop enough containers to cater for the time he is there plus 2 or 3 extra feeds So if your lo usually feeds every 4 hours when he is home and he is at the creche for 10 hrs you drop off about 5 containers.

That way it is easier to instruct the creche staff one container per feed. I suspect it will be very hard for them to call at at half day and say they have fed the child 5 times since you dropped him off.

Good luck

Good morning mamas
My 10 weeks old petite was immunized yestaday.for about a week now I noticed she makes sounds tru her nose or mouth while sleeping(not like snoring) strange kinda.I noticed after d immunization d sound became louder.I mean non stop sound from her nose.it stops only wen she wakes up.it doesnt sound like cartarh/blocked nostrils either.anyone have idea on this pls?

meenagiggs:

My baby does the same. It's more like grunting than snoring.
I was assured by two docs that it wasn't a problem.
I also read on Google that it was common with babies. But, you can take her to the Doc for reassurance. Hopefully, it's nothing.

Hi wonderful mothers on nairaland,i am a first time mum with a 2 month old baby girl who arches her back very often and it is getting me really worried.I would like to know if it is normal for babies to do that regularly.Thank you

cutienik:

@mam tatacherie...hw is dat wrist?guess its gone now..it iswell....

mydreams25:

She might be teething as earlier said pls get the thermometer it helps alot and makes you at peace. My baby is teething presently and had high temperature last 4days so i used the thermometer to check his temp.and it read 38 which i know its not on the danger side. I though it would read more than that cos of the normal hand i used to feel his body but it didnt. I just removed his clothes,used damp towel to clean his body and gave pcm every four hours and he is vry okay now. The plain truth is that some doctors dont believe in teething discomfort and fever if you go to them they give you antibiotics or anti malaria drug. All the same litle Zino will be fine,watch her closely and if there is no change from the home remedies given to you take her to the hospital.
