Good evening mamas, pls your sister needs your undiluted advice. Anyone gone through this bf? My DD was born at 35wks weighed 2.5kg.....She loves food but latching is our greatest challenge, she sucks a lil and gets tired, we continue like that for almost 3hrs and after all the wahala...She is still hungry, then I end up expressing breastmilk and then add formula later on. Am lactating very very well and I wake her every 2hrs to eat 100-120ml. Now, the matter is we went for 6wks immunization and annoyingly she only added 2kg so she is now 2.7kg. We use SMA gold as formula with cup and spoon. Now am advised to top up her intake using feeder..Did that today and my wonderful lady still didn't change, rather she couldn't eat well, had to give her expressed breastmilk and formula as she was too hungry Abeg help me. |

Yesitsme:2kg added to 2.5 should be 4.5kg! Unless you meant she added just 200gram which I doubt for a formula fed baby at 6 weeks old. Keep giving her frequent feeds she will bulk up eventually, note not all babies are built to be fat and chubby. Check to be sure her mouth covers your areola and not just the nipple when she sucks and position her appropriately. If your nipple is inverted may also make latch difficult. Mouth thrush and tongue tie is another reason. 1 Like |

Akorkor: This is actually my favourite brand/type of diapers. ![]() ![]() They actually started with a size 4 and I was pleased to see they had introduced a size 3 some few months ago which means it's suitable for younger babies. I have been using it since my baby was around 8 months old and now he's almost 20months old. Alphahandmaiden, there's no flaw with its design jare. ![]() With both the classic/pant diaper, I always make sure I have a scented nappy bag at hand which I put the poo filled diaper into before disposing into the bin. If I fail to do this, the house is almost guaranteed to smell the next day thanks to the smell of poo from the dustbin. 3 Likes |

Darsty99: Hi, I'm a ftm too. I had to put my son in a dayhome at 2 weeks old because I'm in school and want to finish my program on time without any extensions. What I did was give him formula to take during the day and breastfeed him only at night. He is doing fine, he will soon be four months old. His care provider spoils him even, and he is always excited to see her. I don't regret my decision one bit. My studies is going fine and my supervisor even nominated me for two conference trips. I couldn't be happier and my baby is happy too. Its better than bringing in a random nanny into your home. Its a difficult decision but you won't regret it.

Darsty99: My advice to u is to find a very good creche. I started creche hunting when my baby was abt 8 weeks old...I asked friends n relatives, n even Nairalanders for recommendations. Eventually it was d guy DT fixed our inverter DT recommended one very close to my office, his 2 daughters attended d creche from 3 months n now they r in nursery in d same school. My baby is on formula and bm, so we B.feed in d morning after dressing till we get to d crèche (7.30am). When I am away they give her formula then anytime between 12-1pm, I come in for afternoon feed, after which they continue wt formula till I close (4pm). From 4pm till daybreak na b.feeding things. My DD started creche at 3 months n now she is 4 months n 2 weeks. There r just 2 babies there, my DD and an 8 month old baby. Resignation wasn't an option for me oo, so I had t put in efforts n make sacrifices. Trust me shuttling to n from creche 3 times a day isn't easy but its worth it. Also, DH and I de dash d nanny small small money every weekend, not because we have excess to throw around but na just make she de happy de take care of our Zara baby. The Lord is ur strength mama! 1 Like |
