d cord has nt been properly taking care of thereby resultin in lots of breeze entering ur baby tummy nd d fluid 4rm d cord going back into is stomach. buy jawaclox nd panda drops 4 him/her nd d narvel must b massage wt hot water, clean wt spirit nd rob a little metolata. he will b 5n

helovesme it's been a while, hope you are ok

Good. After peeling, a fresh skin will emerge. You are already on course. Remember to change diaper once wet and to use a barrier cream like vaseline, sudocream etc @ @ diaper area. All the best

Please don't have those kind of thoughts. Like someone said mums can only respond to what they know! Sometimes too the questions asked have been responded to several times on the thread. What you can do is if you don't get a quick response is to use the search button and see if an answer pops up. Remember no one here is on a payroll and we are all here to learn from each other!!!!

How is your baby doing now? Check that you are producing enough milk by expressing in a bottle. That may be the reason he is crying a lot and not sleeping fully. Though babies of that age may not necessarily sleep for a long stretch.
You can also massage the navel area gently with a hot towel and ensure he burps after each feed. Don't lay him down immediately after feeding until he belches.

Wowwwww! Congrats Mubzay. Thank God for safe delivery.
Keep putting baby to breast. I believe in the next 24hrs, lactation should be established. But how do u nothing is coming out? Are u still in d hosp? If LO seems unsettled n very hungry, u may need to get NAN for d mean time. My advice, keep putting baby to breast. Cheers

thanks. he sleep very well in d morning. if u see d rate at which my breast milk flows lyk tap. even if he sucks for 30min n belches. he will still cry for more.
any thing DAT bothers me is his eyes is a little bit yellow. wat can I use.

[quote author=brownskingirl post=44750996][/quote]

Yellow eyes in an infant is usually a sign of jaundice. Please take the baby to a hospital right away. They will take his blood samples and likely treat him with phototherapy and antibiotics.

Don't take chances jaundice isn't to be taken lightly

Hello mamas,during my antenatal class we were told not to eat wheat because it contains whey which isn't good for the baby's brain.my baby is almost 6 month and I was thinking of introducing gerber rice to him and I noticed it contains wheat.please is it ok as am fearful of anything that contains wheat for my boy.

happymama , Eminya , sayoberry , and other mamas in the house. i have a little story to share

Its no longer news these days that a lot of mothers have been looking for the best food to give to their babies, children and husbands. For their children they find any food just to satisfy the stomach not minding the quality. Some even opt for imported foods instead. Even with the imported foods,there is no improvement. Babies of 10months look like 6months,kids of 3years look like 1 year and some months.

Some cases are hereditary while some are due to poor diet.
Many children can be active yet looking so tiny compared to their age-mates.

Do you want to solve that problem?

Then try RIETT BREAKFAST CEREAL.

We have neatly blended together the following for your family:
.
WHEAT
GROUNDNUT
MILLET
GUINEA CORN
E.CORACANA
FONIO
TIGER NUT
SPECIAL WHITE RICE
&
GINGER

A trial will convince you.

For children and babies, they'll love it very well cos the taste and aroma is second to none. (Though I don`t encourage giving it to babies below 6 months)

And for those who need fresh skin? Hmmmm!!! It helps to give a fresh skin ( I just don`t know how to explain how it does it). You need to take a look at my skin to confirm it. Those who have met me in person can attest to that

HOW TO PREPARE

1. Dissolve RIETT BREAKFAST CEREAL in cold water to form a thick paste

2. Pour little quantity of boiling water and stir briskly.

3. Send back to fire and let it boil for 60 secs or until desired thickness or cooking is achieved. (also stir while it boils)

4. Transfer cooked meal to a dish.

5. Add sugar and milk or any fruit puree to taste.

Your RIETT BREAKFAST CEREAL is ready to be served.



Pick up at: Bakery bus stop, Abesan Estate. Ipaja Lagos

Delivery also available.

Thanks me later

if it's bad for babies I don't think it would still be in the market. that's my opinion tho, sabi mama's Iya come touch light this matter

Ma, my contact is written in the write up. I didn`t wanna occupy much space so I wrote everything there.

@realsupermum, I don't think it is bad for babies. Gerber rice is mostly rice.

Pele. Please don't feel like that. Mamas will only answer what they know and are sure of. Not as if any one is giving the other preferential treatment.

Good mamas pls help o! My little angel has swollen cheeks. Is there any home remedy for mumps? My paed said its a viral infection and that it will run its course since antibiotic may not be able to fight it. But it has been there for 3 days now i dont know what to do. BTW, she is 3 yrs old.

Since you have seen a pead, not sure what more we can add. If you are really worried take her to see another doctor to get a second opinion.

Also have all the males in your household checked and monitored - baby and adult alike. Although rare, Mumps is known to cause infertility in males if it gets out of hand.

All the best! And i pray your daughter gets well soon.
