Good day mum's in house,is it advisable to introduce formula to my little prince @3mnths ?

If you are not lactating well or breastmilk doesn't satisfy him , you can supplement with formula

I also had a very scary experience of choking when my lo was just 9 days old. I finished bf him and lay him down as a ftm was not used to the burping ish. So I lay down to rest too. 10 mins later I started hearing sounds frm him but I felt he wanted to feed again so I decided to take my time before getting up. By d time I got to him bm was already coming out of his nose and saliva from his mouth. He couldn't cry. That's how I helped him to start crying o and we were home alone. Hmmm it wasn't funny, I just thank God he was resuscitated.

Mama's pls Cn sm1 suggest a good food flask for kids dt Cn kp food warm for long?
or even lunch box for lo? Thnks in advance

Hello Keji3,

The pattern appears to be along the nappy line and it would suggest it is nappy related.
What nappy & wipes are you using for her, what is your nappy changing routine and what has changed in the last 2 weeks.

Some babies have sensitive skin and can react to the chemicals used in the production of disposable nappies.
If it is the nappy she is reacting to no amount of tribotan will help.

Thanks for ur prompt and detailed response, i've changed her diaper to another brand. Also bought another brand of wipes yesterday which she only use at creche only. I use water at home and she wears just pant at home. She has something like dat at the armpit area too but i only got a clear picture of the bum area.

lcoral:

Ok, my baby had same like rashes and boil @ 2weeks. I tried tribotan baby but no result.
I will recommend you get BACTROBAN CREAM. It was very very effective. Apply twice daily on d affected area. Got it at 3000naira over here. Buy from a Pharmacy.

Thanks i'll read up on the BACTROBAN cream. I appreciate

Can't go wrong with HAERS. Make sure its d original

My dear, I don't have tips o! Use your instinct. Meanwhile, don't wash it with cold water. As soon as you get home pour piping hot water in it and cover it. Allow it to stay overnight, wash the flask in the morning. If you don't do this, there is no guarantee it will keep your lo's food hot

@ Gr8fulHeart, Haers just like Lovinam said.

Buy it from someone that has a shop in your area instead of market with the condition that you will return it if it isnt hot.
Put hot water in it once you get home and leave it be all night, check if its still hot or at least warm by morning.
Dont discard the carton till you confirm.

same wit my prince, he sleeps max of 2 hrs even after takin pap, thats if there s lite and the fan is on. If not he wakes up in les dan 2 hrs and its only bm dat puts him back 2 sleep.
I was thinkin that by now, he ll b sleepin longer hrs.
My felow october teammates. How long does your lo sleep at a stretch?

hahhahahah...team mate ur lucky that yours sleeps for two hours.mine doesn't sleep up to 30mins at once.but may sleep atleast 2 times of 30mins each . maximum of 3 times during the day, but sleeps from 7.30 pm at night and onky wakes up to suck.so much to be a mum....

@mam Doubledouble weldone ma...lesson noted bt hw do u apply d first aid pls cn u gv us a detailed explanation,thanks....d one i watched in d movies ias by hitting d back not forcefully o

My dear, it was n is all God ooo...thanks. I would advice you watch a video of it. The summary is, lay baby on his stomach along your thigh, use your hand to support baby's head. Make sure baby's head is lower than the bum. Hit baby very firmly on the back between the shoulder blades. If baby is crying/ able to make sounds, then there's no need for this technique pls.

May our LOs live long to fulfil their destiny in God, in Jesus name, Amen.

Get baby to latch on well
You can as well get a breast pump as suggested and pump out the breastmilk and feed him so as to reduce the breast engorgement. I pumped and pumped cos even after plenty sucking, my breast was still so full and hurting.
You can massage with warm water and towel and press out the milk manually if you don't have the pump right away, kpele

Dear mamas, please I don't know what kind of rash is on my son's body. We've been to the hospital we were given a cream to use for 7 days. We also changed his bathing soap to Dove. Please what else can I do to make it go?

.

@ coffeeblue- did the Dr give you a name for the rash? What soap do you use for his laundry? Try and rinse his laundry yourself and like thrice if possible. He may have very sensitive skin. I couldn't really make out much from the picture just that it looks like baby excema. I hear that red leaf )acalypha works well if used to bathe the child. You can give it a shot. Be cautious with topical creams because elongated use causes thinning of the skin. Sebamed range though expensive is also good for sensitive skin generally.

Hope this helps

Thanks sweetheart!

mummy2be:
thank God she's fine please give her plenty water and fruits while on medication

Good Mornin mamas, My baby girl i 7months going to 8months, her weight is 10kg, and she is crawling bit by bit, she stands for long when holding something, infact she likes standing, My major concern is that she hasn't started crawling fast, no teeth apart from these she is a healthy baby. Hope she isn't late for crawling?or should I just encourage her to stand more?

Thanks so much @ babythug. The doctor i cant remember the doctor mentioning the type of rash. Will do as you've said

Hello everyone.good job you are doing. May God keep our LOs. I have a 14 weeks old son that sweats a whole lot. Mostly when he feeds and also on d side of the body he sleeps on even if there is fan or AC. On the other hand.he doesn't tolerate fan.AC.breeze very well.his nose starts to get blocked immediately any of these is put on. This is really confusing to me.if I leave him without fan.his clothes gets moist . especially d sides he sleeps on.if I change d clothes for fear of him not catching a cold., he will sweat again as long as der is no fan or AC.on the other hand.his nose gets blocked almost immediately and he starts making uncomfortable noises. Altho it clears up within 10mins of taking me out of there...has anyone experienced this.which is worse heat or cold (altho heat leads to moist clothes) how can I handle this situation.its been going on since he was 3wks old. Pls HELP

The weather is extremely hot now so he will sweat a lot. Do you still layer him and cover with shawl and cap? One item of clothing and socks is ok for now. Even that socks sef I'm just considering his age!

Try and regulate the ac such that the room is cool like 23c should be fine. But position baby away from the direct effect of the ac. Same with the fan too.

It's nothing to worry about. She may likely walk fast. Some babies don't really follow all those steps, don't be surprised to see her moving while holding onto something even before she masters how to crawl properly.

gud afternoon mamas in the house. my DS has this rash few days after birth. He is one month old now and d rash is still coming out from his body. Sabi mamas pls Wat can I apply on his skin to stop d rash from coming out

Worry not.babies are diff n they achieve der milestones differently.my baby didnt learn how to sit no matter how u try but she started crawling b4 learning how to sit.now she stand on her own.my baby completed 7month on sunday with 2 teeth already n my friends baby who is one week older than my baby can walk but no teeth.in a nutshell diff babies milestone.

thanks mama, some mothers re making me feel like my child should be doing dis or that, some are even saying it is because of her weight, that she is too fat. hearing from other mamas now makes me relieved.
