Mama, abeg make Una help me clear my curiosity.
I came back from work today and my sister told me that my baby cried for almost 20minutes that she was just screaming and eyes was red and she pet her but she didn't stop but later stop and slept when she carried her at her back. Please what do you think may be wrong? And also I noticed that my baby doesn't sleep long as usual even in the night. She wake up like every 50min to suck. Please helep first time mom oo @zaynie, sugah,AlphaHandMaiden,jazzjazz,enque,babythug,olubanke and every other experience mom in the house.

Your baby is probably going through a growth spurt. If she's not running temperature, stooling and vomiting she is okay.

My son had similar episode several times. His own happens when he's sleeping. All you can do is cuddle her till she calms down. And lately my son has been waking up alot to suck too. Used to be 3 times but now it's like 6 times even dh has noticed it.

Mama Iomoge2, don't worry zoey will be fine. It is well with her. She is healed in Jesus name.

I ve decided not to exclusively breastfeed subsequent babies either.

based on my own experience on exclusive I would advise pumping into bottle for babies too, so when they start rejecting food, they can at least take pureed food and liquids from bottle. like my son would finish 210ml of semo in bottle but not more than 10 spoons. its a gradual process.

mydeporch:
@ iomoge2. How is Zoe doing? Hope she is getting better. Read from ur diary nd saw ur update. It is well with her.

.amen

Its scary n tiring.
As in she plays this minute then next she clinches her gum n wont eat then next she is vomiting.
She only wants to eat once a day
We going back 2 d doctors at sunrise.

She vomits n does very heavy pupu at night.. heavy as in watery and plenty.
So i dont know if its diarrah or what.

Thanks 4 d care

I don't think exclusive breastfeeding that makes a child reject food. I have 3 kids 8 3 and 4 months all exclusively breastfed. The first boy is what you call a true foodie he can eat from today till next year. The 2nd is a picky eater. I think every child comes with their own way of doing things irrespective of what they are fed with.

true. I equally EBFed my two kids and while my second practically smacks his lips in anticipation when he sees food, my first just eats normally. so I also think each child with is different

Nan..Yes. Cowbell, cornflakes, golden morn NO.

babythug:


Use eucalyptus oil or olbas oil to help decongest the nose. You just place drops on thier shirts/bibs/ face towel and hang on the neck.

It really helps with cold and catarrh

It's normal for babies to sneeze a lot as that is the only way to clear their airway of particles. As per the coughing is it constant,is her nose blocked ? Babies do cough a bit as they grow and saliva production picks up. If it's the above mentioned then it's not an issue but if her nose is blocked and she's coughing a lot . Try the eucalyptus method if that doesn't help please take her to clinic.

Try baby tribotan. Though a combination of baby tribotan and agnesia powder was what worked for us

Attached is immunization list for the hospital I use

tnks mama

mamas please help oh...my dd who is 4 months acts like she is having stomach ache before she poos and when the poo eventually comes out, its sticky with yellow-greenish color. She is not running temperature but the "tummy-ache" like action happens even when she is feeding. Biko help oh, the sabi mamas as i be ftm. No read and pass abeg

My take on rota virus vaccine, I want to believe that if it very important the government will hammer on it, that is, ensure that all babies take it, it's in their immunization cards but they don't even mention it, or tell us that we must go to private hospitals to take it.

My first daughter who is now 9, didn't take it because I gave birth to her in navy hospital, it's like a general hospital, they are very professional. And my daughter did not for once took ill or had diarrhea through out her infancy.

Then my second son who is now 6, I gave birth to him in a private hospital, he took all the vaccines including the rota virus, and he had diarrhea as a baby, I even wondered then, na wa oh, how come he is having diarrhea after the rota virus vaccines that ensures prevention of such ailment.

The baby of the house is now 13weeks who I gave birth in a general hospital, meaning no rota virus vaccine for her, unless I take her to a private hospital which I don't think I want to do.

So my advice is if you can afford it and want to do it, fine go and give your child so that your mind will be at rest.

What you are eating could be a culprit, when ever I take soft drinks like coke or Fanta and when I drink tea, my 3 month old baby acts that way too. But if I don't take them for like 3-4 days ,she acts normal. I think is still the colic thing, their digestive system is immature and can not tolerate everything we consume, until they outgrow it.

eribooboo:
I use shea butter n coconut oil for my baby n her skin glows,getting fairer by the day...
For rashes,u can try baby tribotan

Thank you ma

[quote author=enque post=56532669][/quote]

Thank you ma, I will take the hint....

about the stomach ish, i saw a lady whose stomach is completely flat as in very flat @ 3wks after CS, I had to ask her what she's doing?

She said she uses hot water therapy

hunniesuzie:
Welcome. Let me try
1. Yes.
2. When he's sleeping? Not an issue once in a while
He'll outgrow it. I was told it's their nervous system still developing
3. I suggest baby tribotan.
4. This one isn't easy. If your incision has healed you can use a post partum belt. You can't really start exercising till after 6 weeks and even then take it easy. Lower tummy exercises

Thanks ma.
yeah it is just once in while...

i will try out the baby tribotan, i hope it isnt expensive

Mama about this rota virus vaccine your points are very valid. In fact it's not compulsory to vaccinate kids some parents in the USA don't believe in it at all.
If you talk about naija government and their policies the vaccine is expensive is why it's not being given at local health centers . The government is not ready to subsidize payment for it.
Vaccines are also not 100 % foolproof. My first took measles vaccine but eventually had measles but it wasn't as bad as it could have been if he had not been vaccinated. It is well may God protect our kids from sickness vaccinated or not.
