Mamas, please i need to confirm this. One lady has been on my neck condemning my diet. She said i should stay away from fried rice, sweet potato, salad, fried egg and any sweet meal until my LO is 6months. I can't even take malt or use milk in my meals without hiding away from her prying eyes. My LO is currently 3months. Abeg na true? |

Good evening mothers. Mil is fond of opening windows throughout. I've pleaded but said she can't sleep in heat. We always visit one weekend every month. Dh said I should be covering Ds up and so I did but mosquitoes still managed to bite his face all over. Showed mil but said he was reacting to something and I left her place without saying anything. I've decided to be taking mosquito net with me as I can't do without her. Now ds is having temperature. Went to pharmacy and bought maxiquine syrup. I used it this morning and now. Pls is 2.5ml okay for 6months baby? I forgot to ask the pharmacist and no prescription dosage for baby on the leaflet. |

mitchyy: Momma Hansel, How's Hansel and his dad? I think she is saying that so as to prevent Hansel from having jedi-jed/ slimy stool. My MIL said i can take whatever as long as I take boiled scent leaf( that is my agbo) to cleanse my system. I eat all desirables so to avoid stories that would stress me, I succumbed. I got scent leaves in bulk, boiled ,stored in 1 litre Eva bottles in my freezer and I restock once I notice it remains 2 bottles and true, my boy hasn't had one in his stool . HTH 2 Likes |

@sugah, I Never experience any skin rashes on my baby, so I have no idea about the name. But there is this red leaf flower they use in treating eela in babies, if you can go local, I will advise u go to those Yoruba women that sell agbo stuff in the market, they will have what you can boil to bathe baby. They call them elewe omo. |

I want to rant small. My baby weighed 6.5 at 4 months,1 week, he is 7 months and still weighs 6.6kg. When I introduced Gerber rice at 4 months,he finishes 125ml of the food but it gave him constipation, so I told his care giver to be making his food light. I had to stop the food because the constipation still continued. So I introduced cerelac. I told mama (as we call her) to make it thick cos it doesn't cause him constipation but for where, she makes the food so light and just 75ml. When I complained, she said he doesn't collect more than that. I was busy giving him only breastmilk at home. Last week, I introduced pap, mama said he collects the pap well but at home, he didn't. So I gave him his cereal. I made it thick and up to 125ml, before 3 mins, my baby finished it. 3 hours later, I fed him the same quantity, he finished it. So we continued. I cried in my heart that we have been starving this boy. So I put the quantity I make in each of that cereal dispenser, I told mama, 100ml of water and finish 1 of the plates and feed him every 3 hours. Lo and behold when I check during break, she didn't finish it. I got angry. I told her my mind. Next feed, she join the previous plate she left and the second plate, my baby finished it. He has finished the 400g I bought on Sunday night 1 Like |

stadora:You can do a smaller cake for him to take pictures, not necessary you do an elaborate parry. My SIL order for a cake for my boy, that was what we used for his pictures, only for him to get 2 extra cakes as gift, we took it to the church for him to snap with his age mates and from there I shared cakes with the children and parents, they were happy.

Doubledouble: Okay maam, thank you. I'd "top-notch" his hygiene. Pap, soup -uda soup hasn't worked for me. I've already started looking around for these milks you mentioned. I haven't found any though. Started ANC at 12 weeks and I didn't misses any appointments. The nurses say I get the positioning right. I'd keep putting DS to breast. Thanks so much for taking your time to respond. |

Mine was not just hot he even refused to eat but I still cuddled him whenever he cried fast forward to today when we went 4 10weeks dose on getting home he was even playing n acting normal...In all just know that immunization calls for extra pampering and cuddling d pain may or may not be part of the package eolowu1: |

@Onegai I can only say be golden morn has way more sugar than the other things you've listed. That could be reason for rash. Continue with the wholemeal options you started with. Maybe try branflakes? Muesli? |
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by helovesme(f): 5:08am On Oct 06, 2016 |
lastbornop: Number 1 - How many times does he stool a day? At his age, watery stool isn't uncommon. It's also possible he's not getting enough quality milk from you. That said, why not take him back to the hospital ? If you are not happy with the quality of care from your current hospital, please go to another hospital. For question number 2, excessive crying might be hunger. Are you sure your milk is flowing properly? A bulging stomach is not a sign that your baby is "full" of breast milk. Try and introduce formula, feed him as often as stated on the tin but keep breastfeeding him till you are sure your milk flows well. I think introducing formula might also help with question 1. I have not experienced question 3 personally but I think it's been addressed on this thread previously. Wait for a mum that has experienced this to answer you. |

ify4charm: Electric breast pump doesn't work for everybody. One of the things I regretted buying is the medela electric breast pump. A rather I dumped it after using it for a few days and I continuing breast feeding my baby (not worrying whether milk was flowing or not) while supplementing with formula and drinking lots of hot water, tea, etc. Within two weeks or so,my milk started flowing to the extent that it would soak the sheets if I didn't wear a breast pad. 13 months on and my milk still flows well and I'm still actively breastfeeding.

cutiereborn: For the stuffy nose/runny nose/catarrah, have you tried silverbird diluted with any oil (olive oil or coconut oil or baby oil). Put a capful of silverbird in about 30ml of oil (I use a spray bottle). Apply it on your baby's head (the crown). It works like a charm. You can also sprinkle a few drops of the diluted silverbird on your baby's clothing or on her bed sheet. For the cough, please take her to the hospital. Once a cough sounds chesty (serious) and it's been ongoing for 7-10 days, then it's likely it's bacterial and a doctor needs to prescribe mild antibiotics. Vitamin C will do little or nothing. 4 Likes 3 Shares |

stadora: #Threadbabies on Fridays . Tojued and comtem2011, it was a really bad rash o, we gave her small Golden Morn the first time and the ones on the hand started and then the next time it spread to her back and went down. I wanted to try Heinz cereal but someone said it wasn't good which is why I never bothered. Thanks |
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by Onegai(f): 7:14am On Oct 06, 2016 |
lastbornop: No.3 was answered here and I think I remembered it was said you shouldn't lie baby down after feeding but support his head up so the food stays down and burp him well. That amount of poo may be nothing scary (is it yellow-brown and paste-like like peanut butter?). If it is, it should be fine. Take him back to the hospital let them check that stooling out and if you are given another set of antibiotics, try it and if it doesn't stop, stop the antibiotics because you don't want him building a resistance.

eolowu1:It is called efinrin in Yoruba, when u get to this Igbo market women that sell ugwu, water leaf and co, just tell them u want to buy scent leaf. You can even make it inform of soup and add orisirisi inside, eat with whatever you are pleased with. I blend my own with enough locust beans. 1 Like |
