loistee: I normally use lansinoh lanolin but I don't know where you can get in naija. I bought on amazon and someone brought back for me. Kpele. It's very painful but you have no option than to continue breastfeeding. I guess you can use ori or Vaseline instead, but make sure you wash off before feeding baby. The trick is prevent the crack from getting dry or it will get very painful. Rub on immediately after feeding baby. Try and give the sore nipple a break, feed more from the other side for now while giving the ori or lanolin time to work. E.g feed three times from less painful side before feeding once from painful side. Don't worry about one boob getting bigger than the other for now. |

Drdreluv: Oga the people who advised you already mentioned some names. Nan, lactogen, sma gold, Gerber, cow and gate, enfamil are some of the names I know. There are many different types just buy the one your pocket can carry. Keep in mind that you will probably need about four cans per month. Also pick the number 0 or 1, it will be written 0-6 months on the can. 1 Like 1 Share |

BritneyStacy: (What other mamas have said already) and please you're not a failure. Why do you even think you're not lactating sufficiently? Is your baby peeing and pooping regularly? If yes than I think they're getting enough food. My breasts don't look like I'm breastfeeding (two grandmas have said so), I can barely express more than 40ml per breast, but my baby poops at least three times daily and his weight chart is simply awesome. 2 Likes |

AlphaHandMaiden: Cc adeime Concerning taking expressed breast milk to creche I bought this tiny fridge on olx for 7k. Go to olx and search for fridge, then sort by price low to high. There are three: one is 3k and can take only one can/bottle, one is square, one is shaped like a football. I bought the square red one it can take 2 big and 2 small avent bottles. I can certify it works well and is excellent for my purpose, but I've only used for one week so I can't vouch for durability. I start cooling the fridge at home in the morning (in case no light at creche) then when leaving the house take out milk from main fridge and put inside. Then plug it in when I get to creche. |

Mommies please I want to start formula and I don't trust caregiver to correctly measure food for baby. Especially since they feed him with cup and spoon. Is it possible for me to mix the bottles of formula down? With the fridge I described in earlier post I can then store the milk either hot (fridge also had warming function) or cold (then they heat in warm water like they're doing with breast milk now) I would have loved to do 6 months exclusive, but pumping is not my strong point (don't want to get into sob stories here) so will be introducing formula at 16 weeks.

Britneystacy regarding missing share certs, you get a police report, court affidavit and fill and indemnity form(provided by the registrars and sometimes counter signed by your bank) then write a letter requesting for a certificate reissue. |

loistee: cc Tojued. Lansinoh is sold at Medplus and Healthplus pharmacies. Saw it like 2 weeks ago at the mall. In case you can't get that, can you try these tips from KellyMom (it is one of the best resources on Breastfeeding and is recommended by doctors). The authors suggest a saline solution, Lasinoh or pure lanolin and using your own breastmilk to heal the area and airing it. Loistee, I know someone who breastfed with cracked nipples and she said her baby drank like that with the blood! http://kellymom.com/bf/concerns/mother/nipplehealing/ |

Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by soonest(f): 7:28am On Oct 03, 2016 |
Tojued: I wouldn't advise mixing the formula down. Why not measure out the correct scoops in d bottles then you show the caregiver the mark to make up to. After mixing she can now feed with cup and spoon |

Tojued: I dont know about other brands but with aptamil i know they say discards after 2or so hours ( or is it 4 hours...sorry i cant remember) after preparation... it has to do with the powders not being sterile so the longer after you prepared it stays, the higher the chance of micro-organism growth. I would say measure out the dry powder into the pre-sterilised bottles so all they need to do is to add warm water. Or room tetmperature water and pop into a cup of warm water. ( this is what i do when i am out and about. ) it also gives you the chance to give your own water either hot in a flask, or in a bottle (boiled and cooled). Note: bottled water ( eva and like ) are not advisable for babies as they sometimes have a high level of added sodium during the manufacture. So use sparingly if you must. It will be easier to use the correct sized bottles so they dont add too much water i.e. 4 scoops into a 120ml bottle, 5 into 150ml and 6 or 7 into a 210 or larger bottle. But if that means you have to go buy new bottles dont worry. If you have the bigger bottles, Just use masking tape and a pen to mark the level that they need to add the warm water to. You will have to change the tape everyday though but i will like to think you only need to do that the first few times /days when you just start the creche or when you increase the feed for the baby. After which the creche staff should have gotten the routine. 1 Like 1 Share |

AlphaHandMaiden: @Soonest thanks for your advice. @alphahandmaiden I love the masking tape idea. What water do you suggest I use? I thought trap water wasn't safe cos of flouride. I don't have access to borehole water so was thinking of using bottled water. Wallahi breastfeeding is so easy! |

Tojued: Get milk dispensers, measure out the appropriate quantities, put clean sterilised bottles and hot water in a flask for them. Show them the quantity of water to use per feed. 2 Likes

Tojued Alphahandmaiden has said it all. I usually discard mine after 4 hours. My son's nursery discards after 1 hour ![]() ![]() I use this avent milk powder dispenser (see attached pictures) and I fill each section with the required number of scoops. To avoid under or over feeding, I label the lid with the required quantity (eg. 100ml). That way any of his caregivers know the required quantity to give him without referring to any paperwork or trying to remember the instructions I gave them. Depending on the age of your baby and how many times he feeds while you are away, you might need two or three of the dispensers. It also saves you handing over your tin of formula to his caregiver. The blue insert in the the storage container can easily be removed which means without the blue insert, you can use the container to package/store your baby's solid food, fruits, etc as soon as he's weaned. 2 Likes

Tojued, if you can check the mall, GAME usually sells those measuring dispensing cups. I don't know if they have a GAME store in Abuja though. Or take a picture and check the markets. |

[quote author=Onegai post=49861975] oh wow. Pele. I'm guessing his body was fighting a strong infection and his white blood cells couldn't increase fast enough (an elevated white blood cell count shows an infection. Think of more police showing up after a riot or robbery). Use all those mucus sucking bulbs and gently extract it and don't steam him. Just feed him normally and try and give him breastmilk in addition to formula, that's all you can do. He should start gaining weight now the infection has been fought. Well done for catching it on time. Respiratory Tract Infections are usually a cause of lack of weight gain in babies. I know Ayolight had that issue and won, so you're gonna be fine. Just keep monitoring him and if things still don't look good in 2 weeks, mention me here (my email is acting up as usual).[/quot Yes, we fought and won. @ DANZAK. She has said it all. And pls dnt expose d baby to cold at all. U can also include Eucalyptus oil in her baby oil. Just a little can be added to d oil. Dnt forget, add just little quantity. |
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by limsycutey(f): 10:41am On Oct 03, 2016 |
Tojued: Pertaining to measurements, you can get a formula dispenser and measure out the formula for each feeding yourself. There are different brands, they cost between 1000 and 1500.

feddy27: Onegai, helovesme, alphahandmaiden thanks so much for helping me think straight. Actually I already have dispensers, but it would never have occurred to me to use them. I think I'm just totally muddled up at the moment. I'll buy some extra ones and use masking tape on the bottles. |
