You are funny o! Awon aye ke? Putting their oju on "Godmother"? Please mama don't let desperate situations make you no longer have faith in God.

As long as your baby is having regular wet diapers and adding weight all is well and your milk sufficient too.

If for any reason bm don't flow well abeg carry yourself go buy formula ebf is not by force o! See how you are already beating yourself up because other women are breast feeding their kids at the hospital shocked how are you even sure their own milk outlet is better than yours? Please and please don't give yourself unnecessary heartache over a non issue angry


Holy Ghost fire roast and blind any awon aye putting eye on Godmothers breast in Jesus name amen kiss

Give it time and keep putting your baby to breast with time she will latch on! Forgive me if my tone is offensive.


Hehehehe cheesy. Amen let them go blind o cos I would love to breastfeed : D .It's much more convenient

A family friend told my mom that a child not breastfeeding can be the work of 'awon aye'. She said the baby will be seeing a pair of eyes glaring at her when she tries to suck and that the remedy is a leaf used to wash the breast. Pls who has heard of this before and how true is it

I have no idea. But it sounds like a visit to your doctor is in order. If you are in Lagos, see a dermatologist (there are some I know, in private hospitals around VI/Festac/Lekki).

Godmother, babies refusing to nurse happens in every continent on the planet. So whilst I fully believe that Indians and Brazilians are throwing juju against breastfeeding, I have no explanation for Dutch, American and British women doing so. So "awon aye" is a myth.

I think as soon as you can. I like the fact that they are affordably made and if your child destroys it or loses it, it won't hurt as much as if it was store-bought and you remembered that $= N465 and tears start flowing freely. I am going to do the shapes one very soon, as I have all the materials needed and even if her Royal Naughtiness decides she doesn't like it, I won't get bothered that it was an expensive waste. Any of the activities I've posted before work for 2 year olds. Has your toddler started scribbling?

Lolz, hope so sha. For now I'm expressing the milk and bottle feeding her. She takes breast milk from the bottle she just doesn't want to do the work of sucking it out myself.

My nephews were like this, it is a common complaint. It may be the shape of nipple or the flow is not fast enough for her. Don't stress it.

Hey mamas, I'd like to share these Fever guides for babies. I think most of us use Digital or strip thermometers (the latter tend to read a bit higher). A baby at 38C is having a low-grade or mild fever but no need to panic, but a baby at 38C for 3 days has been having a fever for 3 days and should be taken to the hospital (remember what it says for every painkiller "if after 3 days, consult your Dr").

OK, thanks mama. Guess I'll just zero my mind and do do mixed feeding if she still refuses to suck.

Mamas in the house I gave birth last week via emergency cs and my dad came out sick. She was rushed to the nursery and I didnt see her for 3 days during which time she was bottle fed.

When I finally saw her sef my breast didn't rush so I continued to feed with baby food. Now she is rejecting my breast. If I put her to it she screams until you remove and bottle feed. Pls what do I do to get her to accept the breast. Plus I have flat nipples but I was told if she starts sucking they will come out



The hospital I use don't encourage bottle feeding for new borns because they find it difficuly differentiating the bottle tip from breast tip. If you must express to feed pls use a cup and a spoon to feed her and continue putting her to breast. You just have to teach her cos she is confuse and feeding on bottle is easier for her than the breast that's what she has learnt.

Mama the milk is flowing o, though not as I would want. I'll try your method cos its painful she doesn't suck. Went for check-up today at the hospital and saw other mothers breastfeeding, it was painful.

oh my, wish am close to your side, I have plenty pap that I just made.

U don't have a close friend that can help with it? That pap would have been the best for him, for both energy and body fluid.

Where exactly is bee Hess?? Address I mean. I could organize some one to bring you raw pap, that is, if you don't mind. The hospital I believe should have a kitchen... If it's okay by you, pls lemme know. So I can look for someone that knows the area or give me directions to give to the person...

It is well with your son, in Jesus name, Amen.

Over 72 hours, I can't see visible improvement except (baby not looking dehydrated) He still poos, I think he poos only water, after pooing new born yellow-greenish poo. Whether he urinate gon, I can't tell. .
Before he poos, he feels so much discomfort for close to 1 hr, I will massage his tummy taya, before he finally poos

A friend suggest I ask them to refer me to Massey street children hospital island. (Government Hospital with their wahala, go and buy syringe , go and buy hand glove, go and photocopy )

I met another doctor not quite long and explain my fears, he said it will stop th@t some germs in diarrhea are very stubborn, that they had a case like dat thar the woman just woke up one day to find out the poo had stopped.

Their paediatrician comes every Wednesday, but I don't think I can wait till Wednesday here o. I'm tired of sleeping on hospital bed.

I'm still giving him ors. Hopefully, he is going to be better by Dawn. Amen

I don't mind.

Akowonjo road is at Egbeda. The hospital is at sobo busstop, opposite Crystal specialist hospital.

Akowonjo can be access through Dopemu or Egbeda depending on where you are coming from. You can use google map.

Thank you ma

It is well with your baby rezzy I can't imagine what that poor baby is going thru cry He will overcome in Jesus name amen! please be strong dear.

Try and make sure you wash and sanitise your hands after every nappy change, adhere to a strict hygiene regimen because such stubborn bacteria could easily be transferred back to him from contaminated items.
Boil all feeding utensils and soak his clothes in disinfectant(plenty work I know sad) but it will help to avoid him getting reinfected and make the treatment look like it's not working.

Has he taken his full rota dosage?

OK ma, I was even asked to stop using feeding bottles. But he refused spoon feeding, and won't swallow the food in his mouth not until I change to bottle. I hide his feeding bottles after each feed. (he doesn't reject spoon feeding before)

He didn't collect rota vaccine o.

Rezzy if he's up to it give him rice cereal without milk you can marsh ripe bananas into it this combo helps bind loose stool to make it bulkier.

I just feel like giving you a hug dear, a sick child is very draining physically and emotionally. I do hope you have someone around you to help you watch over him while you rest your head? I'll say a prayer for him in a few minutes as we cross over to November. Goodnight sis.
