If you're going to our hospital for the immunization there's a pharmacy inside that plaza where 01 shawarma is, beside the hotel. I bought the Emzor there immediately after his first immunization

Thanks I already got one, didn't do it at the hospital tho, went to the PHC, tho I'd go to the Hosp this weekend for rota. I'm tempted not to give the paracetamol as she seems very ok and didn't even cry much, should I still give her?

She also spat up massively about 2 mins after taking the oral vaccine, the nurse said there was no need to re-administer it as she might not have thrown it all up, is that how it works?.

Good morning experience mother's
I'm here again oooo.
I need your help and advice.
My two weeks old and some days baby would not just sleep in the night. Like starting from 10pm till like 4am.....he won't sleep, he would be crying. When I breastfed him, he would do as if he is sleeping but once I put him to bed, he start to cry . I can rock him for hours. He won't blink an eye. He can breastfeed like 2 hours at a go.
Its frustrating. I hope someone can relate with what I'm saying. Please what can I do.
I thought new born will just eat and sleep.
And also the way his nose sounds like someone that has catarrh but nothing is coming out from the nose oooo.

Ask when you go for Rota. There's still 10 and 14 weeks so she should be fine sha. Give her the pcm. The effects don't kick in immediately so it's best to pre-empt as much as possible

Dear I had same experience you are having now nt the sleeping part , when DD was a new born anytime she's been breastfed her breathe was very noisy like someone having catarrh. I didn't do anything about it , the day it stopped sef I didn't knw . So just be calm . Other experienced mamas ll come and torch light your matter.

for pear and apple puree, you have to peel off the skin, and then boil in little water first before blending.

For avocado, you can just go ahead and mash without cooking.

from experience, the noisy nose thingy was normal for my DD...
It goes away with time.

Are you sure he is getting enough milk?
Try expressing into a bottle and feed him, let's see if that works.

Take it easy on yourself dear, you''ll be fine.

Are you sure he's getting enough to eat from the breast. Try expressing to be sure it's not hunger keeping him awake and so that someone else can take him sometimes while you sleep. Also do you bath him at night, my baby sleeps long hours after her morning and night baths. Pele, hopefully this phase would soon be over. As for the breathing, it's normal for them to breathe this way for the first few months

I'd say leave him and stop putting anything in his anus.
Not all babies poop everyday...

My DD doesn't poop everyday, she could go 6 days, 4 days , 2 days without pooping but she is healthy.
Just take note of the consistency of the poop to be sure he/she isnt constipated. (You can check babycentre.com for more info on baby poop)

Watch what you eat, cos ur on EBF. Take fruits and vegetables, lots of water will help you too.

I hate rub, is it not too hot to be putting inside someone's anus grin. My My baby does the same thing yet when she finally poops it's the same almost watery poo so I'm not too bothered by it. I think all babies struggle to poo, you should only start to worry if the poo doesn't look right.

Your baby is still small and trying to adjust to life outside the womb! Expect weird sleeping patterns now and be ready for vigilante
Most newborns cry when they are not well fed. Try and express so you will know if you are lactating well. Also when breastfeeding, keep him for 20 minutes on one breast, burp him before you change to the next. Also feed him every 3hrs, try to time the feeding.

Also that sound he's making is normal with newborns. nothing is wrong with him and don't use any mentholatum or robb!

Exactly Sis. Peel (or collect from your Onion seller), boil for 15-30 minutes and use to bathe LO (infact my mum use same for rashes on her and it cleared).

MizMyColi:


This is very thoughtful of you and God sent.
Thank You Sis.

Mine has a clear skin, but there's this two patches of rashes abi what will I call it that have refused to leave her.

When you say Onion peel, you mean those back we peel off before cutting the onions proper, right?
Thanks again smiley


like, could you give a start to finish detail on how you use it.
thank you.

based on my 2cents,
It might be as a result of his age (this stage they explore everything with their mouth). He will be fine just watch what he is eating presently and if need be try giving just breastfeeding and water (to restore lost fluid) for now.

you might also need to a see a Pead if he's loosing weight just to be on a safe hand.

Thou shall nt panic. You can try the brat method for this period he is stooling. Discontinue his milk if nt soy based. I recently experienced dis with Lo ND dts wat I did. Brat means banana,rice,applesauce ND toast. I dint give her toast tho.

Feddy27 happy birthday dear. God's grace won't depart from you.Amen

Na wa oh all this doctors sef. My Lo had stuffed nose and couldn't suck well so I took him to the hospital and the doctor prescribed augumentin ant vit c and I told her that I will not give augumentin cos I gave home after circumcision and dis is just five weeks after that I don't like antibiotics myself let alone for my baby that she should give me an alternative and guess what, she said I should buy methyl crystal and put in her bathing water for 7days. So I bought it on my way home and used it that evening as soon as I purred the water on his head he started spitting catarrh and also it started coming out from his nose and I used mucus extractor to remove the rest from his nose. And later in the night I put some of the crystals in hot water and placed it somewhere close to the bed my sister catarrh and cough has reduced drastically.
