eolowu1: Greenish poo is definitely not teething. For an ebf it means baby is not getting enough hind milk. But the frothiness might mean an infection. You're right to take lo to see a paed, better safe than sorry. Otherwise do a search, plenty plenty talk has been talked about green poo on this thread. 1 Like |

Good morning, wonderful mamas in the house. I have been so upset this past few days. Some weeks back my DS started reducing the number of times he sucks, ie, he cries if I put him to breast sometimes. At times he sucks one side of the breast and rejects d other side out rightly. Later, he refused to suck any time I come back from work which is usually BTW 5:30 to 6:00pm but takes the expressed bm with bottle during the day, only to suck all thru the nite. Now, since Saturday night, he has refused to suck at all both in the day and at note but takes the bm from feeding bottle. The problem now is that my bm production has reduced drastically. In fact I can't even get up to 50ml when I come back from work. The baby is my first after several years of TTC and it breaks my heart that I can't even breast feed him to my satisfaction. I really need mamas that has had such experience to tell me how they handled the situation and all mamas that have any ideas should pls help me out hear. |

sayoddy:There are Two Methods That I'm aware of: 1. Using White Beans - pick out the dirt, remove the skin by using Mortal n pistol (If doing large quantity) or food processor. Do not allow it to soak too much Water. Rinse and dry. Blend/Grand and store in Air tight container 2. Using Those light Brown Beans.( The type that cooks within 30Mins) No need to de-skin it. Just blend till smooth. To get best result, you can add Baking powder in small quantity whenever you want to use it 1 Like 1 Share |

comtem2011: It is well with us! I don't want to completely wean him yet as he is just 9months. I won't even mind feeding him once at night but not every hour. I tried the idea Onegai gave last night concerning the temperature/environment. And he slept for 3hours which is a very rare occurrence. We didn't have light last night and he really sweats a lot so we opened the window and curtain (we used to open just the window) and he slept for long. Will try it again tonight and hope for the best. |

All mamas in the house; new mamas, senior mamas and grand senior mamas good morning. Being a mom aint easy. The experience is quite an experience. My dd is 5 weeks plus yet she holds the entire house to ransom. She loves being carried and cries when you put her down. She has to be rocked to sleep or you carry her and dance round the house, even in the middle of the night. Mamas I want to find out if its too early to introduce a pacifier. Also, how do I break this her love for being carried? I'm always alone at home from7 am to 4pm and I'm desperate as its quite tasking. I can't do anything else and I'm slowly going out of my mind. 4 Likes |

Godmother: Her love being carried was encouraged/taught by you. She has gotten used to you carrying her all the time even when you are suppose to put her down to stay on her own. Anyway sha, you can still try to remedy the situation by letting her stay on her own anytime you are not feeding, bathing or changing her nappy. For starters, keep her in her crib or bouncer and sit by her side playing with her. You can also distract her with Baby tv channel. Try also to place her where she can be seeing you while you do your chores. It won't be easy to break the habit but she will eventually get the msg and start adjusting. You can even be surprised that she will start to play on her own and sleep off without any coddling or dancing round the house. #joyofmotherhood 5 Likes |

Godmother: DANZAK has said it all one of the best advise i got from my MIL....."cry no dey kill pikin! you cant carry the baby all the time, put her down or you will run mad" she is just 5 weeks it should be relatively easy to break ( as opposed to waiting till she is 6 months) . when she gets bigger..... your back, hands and shoulders go hear am. with the pacifyer, i was told wait 6 weeks till breastfeeding is already established. so i guess you can if you want to.

DANZAK:Sorry dear. Maybe the nipples are sore/bitter. Try washing it gently with water and clean with coconut oil. Well, DS rejected nipple at 6weeks and I was advised to co sleep with him at night in bare chest so the smell of the milk would appeal him to suck in his unconscious state of mind. Alas, it worked for me and we dropped bottle. Peradventure he's still rejecting after you've tried to lure him, pls let him have the bottle. Either through bottle or direct, what's important is the feeding of the breast milk while you bond with him through caring and playing with him. 1 Like |

DANZAK: you can try lanolin to help with the dryness, it is safe for babies to ingest and you dont need to clean / wash off before you breast feed. lansinoh is a popular brand for ni.pple cream and though it may be expensive...... a little goes a loooooooong way. i only used 1 and about a quarter of a tube during my 10 months of breast feeding and in the early days i used it at least twice a day. it also works well as a good hydrating lip balm.... both for you and baby(my baby had serious lip cracking and peeling at a few weeks old and it helped massively. another thing is: do not beat yourself up on the breast feeding issue, how old is your baby? some babies self wean, and they just refuse breast for whatever reason. as he is taking bottle, keep expressing and bottle feeding. if at any time you feel you need to supplement with formular, then so be it. the long and short is that baby is eating. if he wins a nobel prize in future nobody will ask how he was fed as a baby. e-hugs 3 Likes |

Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by AlphaHandMaiden(f): 4:03pm On Nov 30, 2016 |
rofemiguwa: it is likely an absorbency issue. a couple of things to consider for night time diapering: simple pad / snap- in insert style soakers do not work! anyone who sells you that and tells you you can use it at night is not honest with you, and had probably never used it themselves. To get it to work, the pad has to be so thick that you either make your baby's leg start dangling when they lay on their side or your risk leg elastic not closing around the thighs properly. pads and snap -ins in my opinion are OK for day time use, but for night time and other long periods i'e long car journeys, they dont have the surface area to give you the absorbancy you need. The soaker material you use matters a great deal: if your insert is micro fibre: it can absorb oh! BUT....... it suffers from compression leaks. so if your baby is seating or lying on one side or area on the soaked nappy for any lenght of time, it just gets squeezed out. If your diaper product doesn't say otherwise it is most likely microfibre ( as it is the cheapest of the cloth nappy materials. bamboo and hemp, even 100% cotton give better performance against compression leaks. In my experience hemp works the best against compression leaks.... but it takes a bit longer to dry. Check the fit: make sure you tuck in all the bits in.... around the legs and back, including the liners. and there are no gaps around the legs that it could leak through. it doesnt have to be tight so as not to be uncomfortable , but you should be able to put a finger between the elastic and her skin to check the tightness. if you struggle to get a finger in...... its too tight. if it is too easy to insert your finger it likely is too loose. ( i guess the thickness of your finger matters though, but you get my drift) your best bet will be a fitted diaper or a prefold / Flat that you fold ( old school nappy), both of which you may still need to boost to give you night time absorbency. I personally use a bamboo fitted, with an additional soaker/ booster or two for nights. or a prefold with either an additional booster or soaker in either bamboo or hemp. and this will comfortably take us from 9:00pm ish to about 5:00 - 6:00 am. ( it usually is sodding wet when i change in the morning, but i have never had any leaks) Onegai has mentioned previously a new cloth nappy company opening soon, with more variety of products, and materials. i believe they will have prefolds and inserts/ soakers in bamboo ( and possibly hemp) when they launch, with the aim of extending to fitteds and other products later on. so they are one to watch out for. modification: for the poo issue: with a pad or snap in soaker you will get staining on the wrap as well so if she poos you are most likely to change everyting especially if the poo is watery or very soft ( e no get as you wan do am). except the quantity of poo was very small./ you caught it right in time that it hadnt spread!. fitteds and prefolds/ flats that you fold up will give you better poo containment and you may be able to re-use the wrap. with fitteds you get the elastic around the legs and back so it tends to hold most poos in except there are gaps in those areas, and for prefolds or flats you need to fold in the back and around the legs to act as your poo catcher. 2 Likes 1 Share |

rofemiguwa: Hey I'm just seeing this. I'm slightly pissed (because this is what happens when someone sells you product without knowledge themselves). I don't know what insert that is, but those snap in inserts will shift. I use Microfibre inserts but I didn't have compression leaks but the8y do have their issues. And a lot os us mummies tend to keep them for certain times. Nighttime diapering means piling on the inserts (one of our mummies uses a microfibre insert in a hemp prefold and it works for her heavy wetting son). so get max absorbency. Watery poo shouldn't stop you from using cloth diapers, infact I was grateful to have my cloth diapers then as they are designed better than the regular ones sold here and kept all the poop in the diaper. So I spoke to our company and they are all cloth diapering mommies and really wanna encourage you. Would you like a free sample of one of our cloth diapers? I'm planning a thread to put everyone through it, so you can just read up when I explain. 1 Like |
