zimunachimdi: Na wa for those guys. Baby sits at 2 months, graduates from Uni at 13 months and gets married before 19months in their reality, bah? ![]() As for his weight, are you slim? Slim babies doesn't mean unhealthy and if he's not heavy, try giving him a little bit more milk. If he rejects it, then he's full and just a smallish boy. Doesn't mean he's not healthy, he may be one of your tall, slim basketball-er types in the future ![]() 5 Likes |

[quote author=ayolight post=49874935][/quote] @Ayolight, Congrats. I hope to share the testimony soon too. However, the challenge I am having now is that he sweats a lot. He can neither eat nor sleep if the fan is not on. How do I avoid him catching cold again. As for the silver bird, I added to his oil but had to stop using baby oil on his head because it dries up fast and leaves his hair unkept(the hair too much o).I just started using Shea butter & coconut oil. Can I add the silver bird in that? |

Hello mothers in the house: Onegai, AlphaHandMaiden, Rofemiguwa, Soonest, Doubledouble, Tojued, Helovesme and all other mamas, please; My DS of 7weeks has been pooing all day. Pooed a total of 5 times today. It started yesterday evening. Please what can I do about this? Please. It's also worth mentioning that he is not on breastmilk at all, ![]() About the breastmilk, please I need advice on that too. When he was born, I didn't lactate immediately. Eventually I did but he just won't latch on. I expressed both with my hand and with a manual breast pump, even at midnight like mama AlphaHandMaiden advised, the most I ever got was 90ml! And then the breastmilk started dwindling to 10/15ml. Till I stopped all together. Now the doctor wants to bring back the breastmilk, placed me on a med already. My question is, even if breastmilk supply comes back, how do I make DS latch? As at today, he still wouldn't latch. How do I keep breastmilk from drying up again? Please mothers in the house, all suggestions, ideas, advices are welcome. Thank you. |

kotias003:Pls watch d pooing. 5 is quite much. Ensure you sterilize his bottles well. Also up hygiene around d house. As for establishing bm supply again, you have to keep putting baby to breast. Then theirs this seed, fenugreek, you can try it. All d best |

A friend came visitin yesterday evenin and was like ah 4months he isnt sittin and i replied her "he ll sit at his own time" she noticed my tone and kept her mouth shut. Just keep puttin ur baby to sit but pls watch d back not to over bend. U can also get indomie carton, sit d baby inside and stuff d front with teddy bears or small pillow.

kotias003: It's an Indian herb, so if there is an Indian supermarket in Ekiti, you will find it there. I also know that Fenugreek tablets are sold in Healthplus pharmacies as a supplement. So if you have one, check there. |

cutiereborn and mamamj, can you stop any powder you're using on baby? Also, if you have tried Antibiotics and it didn't work, it may be an allergy (allergy symptoms are usually coughing and cartaarh, since they affect eye, nose and throat). Which means some particles like dust or pollen is lodging in their lungs and irritating them. So no fans directly on them (because it pushes particles into their system. The fans should be above them facing in their direction but not blowing on them and it should be some distance from them. Rechargeable fans are short-necked so it is too close to baby, it will blow particles into their face and they will breathe it in. Go back to the doctor and ask him about allergies and he will prescribe a syrup for them. I don't want to mention the name so you don't buy it dirctly without a prescription (I heard it can cause drowsiness). A lot of babies outgrow their allergies but some keep them (I still have mine). What you don't want to do is aggravate it and cause Asthma. HTH 2 Likes |

kotias003: Hello. For a fully formula fed baby, 5 times is a bit suspicious but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong. Make sure your hygiene is top notch and your source of water potable. Formula not taken under an hour should be discarded. Do not premix your formula and put in the refrigerator. Once your handling, storage and hygiene on everything to do with baby is excellent, then we can cross that out. Check the consistency and colour of the poop. The poop tells you a lot about baby's health. If everything is good, it could be baby has a very active metabolism. Just free baby...he/she will adjust with time. On bringing back breast milk... I personally, don't like the use of medication...just take a lot of fluid, ewedu, fenugreek, pap, soups and all. Also put baby to breast very very often, pump a lot as well...these will signal the brain and gradually it will come back. There's a tea that helps too: Mothers Milk shatavari cardamom. Basil and fennel oil does wonders too. If you want to use meds, herbal is better: Motherlove more milk plus is good. It is in form of a capsule. Milk thistle herb is excellent too. In all, for all these to work you still have to put baby to breast a lot and pump a lot too. On latching, didn't you go for antenatal classes at all?? I don't mean to be rude or diss you. Antenatal classes is important for mothers to be as you learn a lot there, especially as a FTM. Well, it can't be taught with words...you need demonstrations, so I will advise you check youtube for that. There's this particular channel that is by a RN, but can't remember. Helovesme, onegai, alphaandmaiden, ozycy and all mamas pls help out on the youtube channel to see the right way to breastfeed a baby. Wishing you all the best on this journey!

Onegai:Thank you Ma. It definitely helps, I have stopped applying powder to her neck cos she sweats a lot & DH has practically banned fan, so she sweats & soaks up the bed, still same. As for Antibiotics, I haven't given her any. I think I will do as FINA4804 says and stop giving her any medication and if it continues till Friday, we will go see a doctor for allergies. 1 Like |
