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).
ťanx..I reside in Benin. I Will try n luk for one

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.

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.

mamamj:
Good morning Mama's, pls can anymore recommend any good hospital with and pediatrician on the island and also an agent for a nanny
Thank you all for your responses in advance

rezzy:

Amen
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.

What type of aspirator have you using ? Is it the "bulb" type? I find them completely useless as they remove little or nothing.

I attached pictures of a very good aspirator - "nosefrida nasal aspirator". If you can get it where you are based, it's really good. It's a bit similar with the hospital aspirator ( at the hospital, the child is swaddled with a cloth and a tube/pipe is inserted the right into the child nostrils and pressure is used from a tube like machine to remove all the snot and mucus - a very heartbreaking and rather distressing procedure to watch I must say).

With this aspirator, you use your mouth to suck the tube and all the mucus is extracted out. You can read online for more information/reviews on it.

Maman, I'll recommend Lifeline Children's Hospital In Lekki Phase 1, a PD is usually available, moreover it's a children's hospital. As for nanny agent on the Island, you can pm me for her contact. Cheers!

Happy New Month mum's, may God continue to bless and keep our children.

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

Mamas in the building that feed expressed breast milk to their LOs. ...how many mL do you feed at a go and what is the time interval ?
My baby is 10months old today...I have been feeding him with 120ml every 2-3 hours..except he sleeps longer than 3hours but once he wakes I feed him. Recently, I started making it 130ml . But I don't seem to be comfortable with his poo frequency. It is too frequent except at night (he doesn't poo throughout the night for more than a week now)...like every 2-3hours too and very loose...My mind occasionally thinks diarhea but then no fever or weakness. Google says overfeeding can cause loose poo but does not categorically mention what quantity is too much.
What quantity do you feed your babies and how many diapers do you change?

mysticgal:
Hello ladies.
I know this is the wrongest thread to ask for this but I don't know what else to do, like I have tried searching for an Avenue to ask this question.
Please, I need a psychiatrist, preferably an older lady who can be of help and has some experience in the health sector too. And probably would not mind having a discussion on Skype.. I swear, I need just need this.
Don't get angry.

Coldfeet:
Your baby is 10 months or 3months

A formula fed 3 month old baby should ordinarily be on 150-180 ml every 3hours!

For EBfed the we were told to feed on demand can a baby overfeed on bm (Still a debate)
They usually stop drinking when they are full, if he is taking all the expressed milk and seems content I'm good with that.

Frequent poop asides diarrhea shouldn't be a cause for concern it may just mean the child has a well functioning digestive system and metabolism.

As long as you are producing enough milk and your son is feeding well and happy + healthy why are you bothering yourself on the amount of shit he produces everyday? Something is constantly going in and something will definitely come out as waste!

The downside of cutting down on his feed now might be crankiness as his stomach is already stretched to accommodate this present quantity.

My opinion the quantity is just right and may even be slightly under if he weighs up to 6 kg.

Diaper change in a day depends on a lot of factors but nothing less than 3 per day.
