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 . ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Mumted:Does she cry or seem in pain when she does it? My boy arches his back a lot too but ours is from being "drunk" on bm or formula! ![]() ![]() Smokes please make sure she is properly burbed after feeding and avoid laying her down immediately or vigorous movement! It will stop and like your paed said its reflux and nothing to worry about. Maureenslyvia hospital please. 3 Likes |

smokes: Hello smokes, Congratulations on your lo. As chinwedym said, try and ensure she is burped at the end of each feed. You could also try to breaking her feed and pause to burp her inbetween and at the end as opposed to one long feed with a burp at the end. This is so that air bubbles are gotten rid of intermittently which should reduce the quantity of the reflux. Aparently babies that young havent yet developed the "shut off valve" reflex in the gut so reflux is quite common. Also as long as she is putting on weight be rest assured that she is getting some food down! All the best! 3 Likes |

babythug: 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. |
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by babythug(f): 4:48pm On Apr 01, 2016 |
Faith111: From what you've just described it's possible they're not getting filled at meal times. Do they doze off while on the bobby? Do wake them up if they do. Then expressing out the milk may help to stimulate the milk flow too. Ensure you're eating well and drinking fluids too. Water and pap, milo and milk in moderation (to avoid colic in the babies) too will help stimulate the flow... Pele it is well. Really hope I can do exclusive b.feeding for this my baby oh. Don't know if I still have power for all this meme!!!!!! |

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. |
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by babythug(f): 8:43am On Apr 02, 2016 |
Apple19: For me I just used cussons. Soap to bathe my babies. Will likely do same for the one I'm expecting. Sebamed is to a large extent readily available in Lagos but of course affordability is another matter entirely. Shea butter and coconut oil work well on many babies. You'll be surprised that even petroleum jelly may work just fine on your baby's skin. So these options may be good alternatives to what you're using at the moment. Let her skin fully recover before you adopt anything else! 1 Like |

Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by babythug(f): 5:39pm On Apr 02, 2016 |
joyousf: Sorry oh! You have to just keep offering all sorts of meals till his appetite returns fully. Ensure he's well rehydrated by keeping up his fluid intakes but be patient. Slow down on the drugs too.sometimes you have to let viral stuff like catarrh run its course. You can do steam inhalation to ease the congestion in his chest though! 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by mkbeau: 5:51pm On Apr 02, 2016 |
joyousf: 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. ![]() |

I have offered him his fav but he still closes the mouth. drinks n juices: he won't collet too. in fact add anything at all to his water n he rejects it. he isn't lethargic . he plays mostly except those times he becomes so cranky which I guess is due to hunger.

Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by zaynie(f): 8:37pm On Apr 02, 2016 |
OloriAbdulatif: I dont know much about skin problems. Did the eczema appear around the time you began Frisolac? For the Frisolac, try to give your baby enough water and fruits such as fresh orange, watermelon and pineapples . You might also want to reduce the number of scoops by 1 ( with the original amount of water) during each feed and increase the number of feeds by 1. 1 Like |
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by babythug(f): 9:58pm On Apr 02, 2016 |
tynnuhluv: 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! 2 Likes |
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by babythug(f): 10:04pm On Apr 02, 2016 |
OloriAbdulatif: If the rash started when you commenced friso she might be reacting to it. Stop it for a few days and watch it. Try the fruits too like Zaynie has said for the poo. Next time don't wait till one week before finding solution to this poo poo meme o! You can give her warm water first thing in the morning too before meals. Not sure about this ela thing too. There are different types from what I gather. If you can source that red leaf- acalypha(google for pictures) you can try bathing her with it. Bathing I said oh not giving her to drink!!!! Hope this helps 1 Like |

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 |
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by babythug(f): 10:36pm On Apr 02, 2016 |
Proudmum: 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 |

Its also contagious. You might wanna trace to figure out where he got it from so you can avoid a repeat. Also like babythug said, make sure nyone that wants to carry him washes their hands. Wash his bedsheet often, generally step up the hygiene around the house so it doesn't get worse. Wanna consult ur pead tynnuhluv: |
