@rofemiguwa, my LO is 7week and started having the rash before we left the hospital, the dr advised not to use anything on her skin again, that is I no longer use baby oil, lotion, powder etc after she baths just bath and dress up.

You need to watch out on the handling of ur lo's cloths disinfect when rinsing, and iron thoroughly be4 ur lo wears the cloths. If she is the type that sweats like mine ensure ur wear light cloths for her or put her in a well ventilated room.

I didn't do all these andd rash on my lo got infected and the doc had to recommend mupiderm ointment.

Don't worry your lo will be fine.

DrAda:
Looks like furunculosis or bullous impetigo. Get altergo cream and apply twice daily till it leaves. If it is too much, you can add antibiotics to it too. I usually prefer ampiclox. You never mentioned the age so don't know d dose to give. And please never burst those lesions abegi. They spread fast.
Forgot to add that you should make sure no part of the skin is swelling up, hot and painful.

Thanks a lot he will be 6months on the 25th of this month! You are so right cos if I burst one 3 or more comes up from the site! Will check him to see if there's any swollen or hot spot.

soonest:

I thot it's 1yr and 6months to 2years. I don't know for sure but that's my thinking. Once I wean, I give formula once a day and of course milk in his cereals till 2yrs.


@chinwendym, ampiclox will do it but get ready for loose stool.

Good morng mamas

Gudmorning I really don't mind the loose stool so far this ish is sorted out! How do I go about the ampiclox? He is 6 months old.

Thanks ma'am ozycy. Am not stopping bm, I just want to introduce it to him so we wont start fighting when he's six months and mil says to give him pap He weigh 6kg at 14 weeks

Olubankemi, just twice? My lo use to poo almost five times a day.

DrAda:
Totally agree. Couldn't have said it any better. Even wrote a post on this. Oh and you know you can tell a child's age from the number of teeth? Later guys. Have to start preparing the kids for school

I would love to know how to tell age from teeth because it just seemed random to me. My first son had one tooth before the other and had complete 20 teeth by 26months whilst my second had 2 teeth first, then a second set of 2 teeth all up and then had full 20 teeth by 19months.

See my bp is suddenly high. Infected kwa?. Chineke!. My DD rashes started in the hospital too.I don't use anytin too. Jus bathing liquid only. I wash her clothes with detol. I sundry but I don't iron cos of light situation in my area.maybe I will stop wearing her overalls during the day and wear dresses so she can get some air. Jus that she is jus a week+. Am also scared of exposing her too much cos of the cold. God please let this come and pass. No infections, let the rashes heal quick in Jesus name. Can't take dis o!.
Thank you nickair,I will see if we can use the big gen to iron her clothes.
Anything to heal it fast. Godbless for sharing.

Mzfunshy/olubankemi Una nor want make them sheeeeeettttt??

Although I imagine that with every "pra" that you hear you are calculating the cost implication of the diaper lol

All is well my dears its better they poo than we running helter skelter for them to be relieved of constipation

sayoberry:

Thank you

Babythug who will kneel down, abi dey will slap me join sef

I've seen a set of toddler twins gang up on someone before so I can appreciate and understand your decision to toe the path of peace by "forgiving and forgetting"

That's why you should cloth diaper. As long as there is a washing machine, detergent and sunlight (you don't even need bleach, hot water and our Naija hellfire, I mean sunshine ), you will never calculate how much diaper costs. We only use disposable at night and we can reuse the clothe diapers for other babies too. All the people laughing at me when I started are now like "oh it makes sense!".

Lol indeed I am already considering this route. The next prayer is that nepa will.allow somebody see this through. Cant recall using my washing machine in the last one month or so....

One month...that's just gangster.

MetroTee:


This leaf is very effective. I didn't even come back to share my testimony. My LO had eela and we used it to bath her (still using it 2 weeks after), the stuff stopped spreading and actually cleared. The elewe omo (people who sell it in the market) gave a combo sha that had some barks in it too.

Thank you to the mummies that suggested it. God bless you!

Pls what's the yoruba name if it has

olubankemi:
Hello Mamas. Am an FTM.

Please is it ok for babies to poo twice a day? My twinnies poo twice daily.

Thank you.

Pls how is d cloth diaper like. My lo is 2month can I use it on her.

IryNky:

Yes you can, you can use it from newborn (though I wouldn't because newborn poop is meconium and hard to wash out). For more info, please do a search and Google it, people have written a lot about it (can't type now). HUH.

Gudmorning I really don't mind the loose stool so far this ish is sorted out! How do I go about the ampiclox? He is 6 months old.

Ma'am,

My DS also had it and I went the way of ampiclox when he was about 5 months as prescribed by his paed, it was administered every 8 hours but just 2.5 ml and for a period of 5 days.


It dried off from within but as from 6 months+, it reappeared, I then went the way of the red leaf in bathing him ONLY, because it comes and goes.

I also ensure he wears loose clothing as occasion demands ( i do this often)and keep him as fresh as possible not forgetting using savlon for his bathing and laundry of his dresses.

Baby tribotan didn't work for me, baby tetmosol did at a point and stopped but his Johnson baby works for him.

As for d hard part when it bursts, DS had plenty, I apply Shea butter so it loosens out and dries.

MIL said its occurs to babies that would be plus weight and some babies just use that to bring out teeth instead of falling ill and encouraged more use of the red leaf.

Someone please help me with the page number where I can find food options for my six month old! Also is the semo and milk ideal for a six month old? How about wheat and milk?
I've tried pap and milk he did enjoy it but I don't won't to limit him on that. Has anyone tried boiled egg york mashed in milk?
Nurtrend and cerelac which is preferred! Are both the same thing? Cos I gave him nutrend today and he didn't like it. My questions plenty make una no vex.

Olubankemi congrats my sister! How r the twins doing? May God watch over them in Jesus name.

A lot of babies like fruits. Before offering fruits to your baby, make sure they are ripe, and wash well before peeling. Fresh vegetables should be washed, peeled and cooked until tender. Here are some Nigerian favorites.
Mashed bananas
Mashed avocado
Boiled mashed apples
Freshly squeezed oranges
Boiled mashed sweet potatoes (Can be served with mashed boiled egg yolk and butter)
Boiled mashed white potatoes (Can be served with mashed boiled egg yolk and butter)
Boiled mashed yam (Can be served with mashed boiled egg yolk and butter)
Boiled mashed plantain
Boiled mashed carrots
Boiled mashed pumpkin
Next add meat and fish
Babies often prefer well-cooked chicken, which is soft and easy to eat when shredded. Meat may be too hard for your baby to eat, so you can introduce that much much later.
Be careful to remove even the tiny bones when serving fish.
Grains and cereals
If you use choose to use imported baby cereal, make sure that they only have one ingredient to begin with and use either water or breast milk or formula for mixing.
Soft boiled white rice can also be served with stews of your choice.
Boiled mashed peeled beans (Remove the skins from beans as they tend to be harder to digest)
Yoghurt
There are many brands of imported yoghurt in the country that are suitable for babies.
Traditional Nigerian foods
Sometimes a Nigerian baby’s first food is often Amala and Ewedu. Some mothers also offer local staples like eba, semo, pounded yam with okro, ogbono and other draw soups.
You can gradually begin to introduce local Nigerian foods when eating by dipping your clean hands into stews or soups and rubbing it on your baby’s tongue.
Some mothers also offer custard, soft mashed noodles but this is usually not recommended as these foods are highly processed.
Please note that babies under a year should not be given honey as it carries the risk of botulism.

Cerelac is better than nutrend. You can also try heinz, cow and gate, aptamil cereals. Very nice

Good morning Mommas..
Pls mommas,I need serious help here.
My 2years plus son has re-occuring rashes that affects his head and his nose almost every month.I visited the hospital and Zinnat was prescribed and the doc told me to boost his immune system that his immune system is low and he prescribed immucal which he used.
Now,the rashes are back on his forehead.
Which Mum has ever had this experience and what what did you do differently.
Please mommas,this is causing serious heartache for DH and I,i need serious help.

Thanks a lot maureensylvia and feddy27 I appreciate.

Long time mamas, I've not be here in a while o and I'm sure no one missed me

Pls when giving our babies eggs, ensure its the yolk only. I didn't know and gave me DD eggs ( the white plus yolk) three weeks ago and 1 hr later she started vomiting, her eyes were red, big red rashes all over her body and she was itching real bad. We ended up going to the hospital & Dr said it was hives ("Urticaria, also known as hives, is an outbreak of swollen, pale red bumps or plaques (wheals) on the skin that appear suddenly -- either as a result of the body's reaction to certain allergens, or for unknown reasons" )
Anyway, no eggs here till she turns one.

In other news, pls does any mama here have an umbrella stroller to sell or maybe dash*covers face
Or a double stroller for sale? I really need one ASAP.
Thank you.
Forgot to add I stay in Lagos.
