mompurity2: Congrats my teamie! May the Lord watch over the twins. Happy to see this good news today. For your questions once babies start taking formula typically thier poopoo constituents change.. Please ensure you're using the right measurements as stated on the tin of milk. And ensure the bottles are properly sterilised as well.... To make him poop you can give him a few teaspoons of warm water it should help! 1 Like |

babythug:tnx Teamie. He pooped one massive-watery-greenish poop (sorry for tmi). He is sleeping peacefully now cos he ws so restless earlier. Again, is it normal for them to stretch and make grunting sounds? |
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by babythug(f): 5:57pm On Jul 21, 2016 |
mompurity2: Yes it is normal. Many babies do it. Could be an early sign of colic which can be managed by you watching your diet-avoid overly spicy foods, dairy products and excessive beans. Then ensure they burp well after feeds. Also you can massage tummy gently with heated towel. Also bicycle method where they lie down and you move the legs like they're on a bike. Tummy time also works to manage it but it must be well supervised. Hope this helps |

rofemiguwa: I've been told its unnecessary to give multi vitamins especially if baby is being well fed. Why do you feel the need to give anyway? I know cod liver oil helps with skin and bones development so maybe you can stick with just that! 4 Likes |

mompurity2: You place them lying down on thier tummy. But you turn the head to the sides oh. This method helps babies fart easily. Because of thier age it must be supervised and for a short while for now. 1 Like |

rofemiguwa: As other mamas have said, except for any medical reasons, She doesn't need it till she is at least 6 months. If she is on formular - these are all fortified with vitamins, iron and all what not. If she is breastfed, YOU need to be on multi-vitamins so she gets all she needs from you. Just make sure you either use the ones specifically for breadtfeeding mums or if you are using the normal multivitamins, ensure you add a Vitamin D supplement to it. At 6 months when you start weaning her and her milk intake reduces you may want to start her on vitamins. However in my opinion this is still not necessary as all infant milks, and most of their cereals are fortified anyways. So i would say wait till she turns one when she starts normal milk and food, then the multivitamins can be introduced. 4 Likes |

AlphaHandMaiden:She is on ebf.i was not placed on multivitamins.i was given folic acid and ferrous after birth.but finished before my 6weeks appointment and i was not given any multivitamins after that. My baby too. That is why i asked. What multivitamins can i take then that will help me and my baby. She was born healthy at term and havent had any issues apart from the skin rashes that has gone. She feeds like 8 to 10 times like every 3hrs. But the length of time she stays on the breast actively sucking has reduced.sometimes 5mins n she rejects d breast as against 30mins + she stays before. She sucks longer at night. Please what kind of multivitamins can i take to help me n my daughter grow healthier and feed well |

rofemiguwa: I am currently using pregnacare max breast feeding that has the omega 3 + 6 capsules. You can try that. There is also a normal pregnacare breastfeeding one as well although this doesnt come with the additional omega 3 & 6 capsules Seven Seas also do a breastfeeding multivitamin. These are the ones i have personally used. I am sure other mamas can contribute to what other vitamins are out there for nursing mothers. Even if you decide to take a normal multivitamin, it is still better than nothing. The ones for breastfeeding just has higher doses of some of the ingredients like iron and vitamin D and some additional ones as well, some with with names that cant be pronounced... Only God really knows what they do! ![]() ![]() 1 Like |
