Oshe. I don dey turn sabi mama. The trick is to try and get the nose to flow. You can put a few drops of eucalyptus oil in hot water and sit with LO for the steam to enter her airways. Cover yourselves with a towel. You can also put a few drops on her bib (I couldn't do this cos my pikin dey chop bib now)
Best thing is saline drops. You can make your own (Google) or get from the pharmacy. A drop in each nostril loosens the catarrh


Then you suck it out! lipsrsealed

There's not much you can do about the struggling. I did the saline drops thing when he was sucking. Sometimes I just soaked cotton bud with the solution and put in his nose (not far inside oh) the sucking you have to hold her head. My LO hated the steam bath so I only did it twice but it's very effective

If symptoms persist after a week you may need antibiotics

Hi MAMAS,
My 7 month baby was down with malaria,we just finished the medication last night but she has not been eating (maybe bitter mouth), is there anything apart from medicine to make her eat/increase her appetite? She is a foodie so I'm so worried cos she has been going without food for 12 hours since she fell Ill. I've started abidec though but guess that takes time.
Breastmilk isn't flowing well enough otherwise maybe that would have tasted good in her mouth.
Also her hair is turning brown. I was using aveeno to wash like twice a week and rubbing shea butter and Johnson oil on it.
Please advise.
Thanks

Olive oil, soy oil, avocado oil, coconut oil are good sources of mono/poly saturated fats encouraged in keto and these are the good fats we need. I've not heard that we should run away from them, or is there?

I saw a keto post, that say tallow, lard are good, while they r condemning canola oil

Hi Mama... Sorry to hear about your LO. I'm sure her apetite will pick up soon especially as she's still recovering. Just wanted to mention that you don't need to wash your babies hair with aveeno twice a week. Once is fine because the soap dries out the hair. We used aveeno too and I noticed a visible difference after we reduced. Also maybe check her nutrient intake. Have you introduced purees yet? What meals does she eat now? Their diet contributes to these things as well. Sometimes it could be genes...

Thank God for recovery... eku itoju....

What I do is give fluids( lucozade boost, ribena and water ( i put water in sippy cup where DS can reach) with cartoons as distraction but, since she is 7months she can't reach the cup on her own yet. I would suggest giving her lucozade boost/ribena/water with spoon.

I then used the fried fish and meat for attraction purposes..... a bite here or two and we are good to go.

Sabi mamas would respond.

Rashes disappeared viam

I use onion juice for my hair too once in a while and it works.

It's amazing how these inexpensive things we "commonise" work.

How's the family? certain great.

See me staring at pregnant women in church today and was assuming twas moi.
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by temmytee1(f): 9:06pm On Jun 11, 2017
Thanks a lot. Im relieved a bit.
@hair, Oh really. I was scared of smelly hair cos of the shea butter. I will reduce to once then.
Yes I've started puree but maybe she doesn't have enough. She only takes like twice a week cos I like to give her fresh and time wont permit.
She eats potatoes, amala and ewedu, carrot, water melon, mango once a while, rice cereal. Buthe she takes more milk than solid.
