Greetings to all mothers, FTD here! My DD is 6 weeks old, the problem is that she throws up though not all the time after breastfeeding , it's become so worrisome for the mum and I, we've taken her to see her pead several times on this same issue and they rule it down to reflux, a little spit up is normal I'm told but the baby seems to puke all she's eaten sometimes, anybody experienced this before and what where the solutions .

babythug:


Well done dear. I can imagine the way it'll be vigilante times 2....
Are you bottle feeding?,if you express milk maybe others can help with feeding them and you get some rest...

Im not formula feeding yet. They dont even allow my boobs get filled before they storm on it.
Once milk production is established, I'll start extracting. I tried doing that 4 days ago but i got little.
Infact i can hear one them giving me the warm up sound already.

Good day mamas. Vigilante is real for my side here no be small. Pls I need some clarifications.
My lo's skin rash is subsiding. Thanks to all the mamas here who helped on time of needs. I used Cerave lotion and dove white soap.

Now I intend establishing her bath shelve and I need help. If I continue to use Cerave, I might not get to buy easily, and the fear of sebamed (unavailability, affordability and fake) scares me. So my question is;
1. can I use any other bath product and get same result as these ones?
2. Has anyone tried 2 diff product at the same time? E.g Sebamed soap + Aveeno lotion or vice versa
Pls I'll appreciate help and suggestions from experience mothers and all beauty therapists in the room. TIA.

N.B Pls I need something Available, Affordable and effective. And any other good, tested and strusted product will be appreciated cos I'll love to stock up on them.

Gud pm mommies m a ftm.I notice this blisters with fluid on my ds arm n is spreading all ova to pacehis back n head.pls mummies what can I use b4 going to hospital on Mon.WORRIED

babythug:


Can you put up a picture? It sounds like impetigo to me. You can try gentamicin ointment as a temp measure. Show the pharmacist when buying the cream though!

mkbeau:


Offer him his favourite food and see whether he would eat, introduce juices for example orange juice even fizzy drinks it would provide the sugar needed for energy and electrolytes to deal with dehydration as well as the water. Loss of appetite can vary from one child to another so if you're really concerned that he is loosing too much weight and possibly lethargic is best to see the doctor.

Proudmum:
Please I'm trying to introduce solid to my baby. She doesn't want to take anything apart from bbreast milk because we did exclusive. My hubby suggests I starved her for 4 hrs then offer her cereals or any other food. I'm always with her... Just 2 of us in the house. I don't have the mind to ignore her for hours without feeding her. Please is it right to starve her of breast milk for 4 hrs?
Secondly.. I force her to eat...she will be crying and pushing spoon away.. I will still hold her tight and force the food in. Please is this right?
Kindly tell me the right thing to do. And how often to feed her . I'm a first-time mum and She's 6months. Thank you

cutienik:
tnx mumi zaynie
@NoQualms..hw r d kids?hop no too much stress..it s wel wt dem

babythug:


You need to make up your mind whether you're ready to add solids to her diet now or not. If you don't fully decide to you'll keep succumbing to offering bobby once she refuses cereal.

Typically babies will want to continue breast milk if they can. You can time her meals to three or four hours and offer cereal like your hubby has said. At least try it first then you know whether to increase or decrease the hours in between feeds. Offer her adult foods too I.e noodles, mashed potatoes, amala etc . She may prefer that to cereal. Babies can be unpredictable like that..

Hope this helps. That force feeding usually doesn't help meal times will be stressful for you both. Creatively find a way to make it appealing. Let the food be the right temperature, place her in a high chair or plastic chair and table.... Pack up the food after thirty minutes whether or not she finishes the meal. Cut off snacks for now ie biscuits and so on.

Hope this helps sha

babythug:


Its impetigo. Please add Savlon to his bath water right away. Add some to the water used to rinse his clothes as well. Then get him the gentamicin cream immediately.

Try and generally step up hygiene around the house its a bacterial infection. Insists everyone washes their hands more often and so on!
