my baby use to have eela, I tried all manners of things, it keeps coming back. people told me I have an oyinbo baby that eela is their best friend (though I rejected it o), until I saw a mother with a clean fair baby, I asked what she's been using and she told me she's been using a small portion of skineal +ori+2capsules of ampiclox well mixed together. I did tried it and my baby's skin is very neat. I'll upload his pix very soon. The skineal should be very small cos skineal is not meant for babies.

zaynie:
I know say time don pass. Pardon me. We have these from 3 givers. E seun pupo. These actually came in from Benin, Ogbomosho and Lagos. Ain't these mamas just wonderful

Sorry ma, but you are damaging your baby's skin. Why not try and find the culprit behind the reaction or you go for sebamed products or Aveeno or even natural oil? It could be your Lo reacts to something, like my 1st child, once he eats groundnut or peanut/peanut butter, rashes will appear on his body the next morning. I know it isn't easy looking at those ugly rashes but skineal is bad for babies whether little or much

Don’t use skineal for baby oo. I learned the hard way. It burned my son’s skin! And yes, I only used a tiny portion. The only thing that worked for him was Agbo. I only bathed him with it, I didn’t give him to drink.

His doctor also prescribed Aveeno soothing bath, Aquaphor and a prescription only triamcinolone

Thank you ma.

Thank you all.


All through MHC, Muna was acting up, throwing every thing she ate up.
Just after MHC, she started running temperature.
Gave her pcm, the temp went down ,some minutes later, she threw it up and the temp went up again.
Gave her some few minutes, oya eat yam and egg. She slept for a long time, with a high temp, kept mopping with damp towel. At a point I had to wrap her head to toe in a wet towel. She kept throwing up all the drugs I gave her.
By 10pm, I called the dad (he was downstairs) let's go to the hospital, so he ate and changed and we set off for Gbaja at around 10.45pm. Got there and we had to go and buy a card seeing as this was the first time she was seeing a doctor. Card was taken to the Nurse's station. Around 11.50pm I saw a known Paed leaving the consultation room, fully dressed for home. I went to the nurse's to ask why we weren't called up. She said they've been calling us and we refused to answer...... Me that was on a watch out o. My husband was like.... Are they alright sha?
Nurse found out Paed had gone, she comes back to their station and drops our file on the table like..... I don't care. She goes into a room, turns on the fan and I guess she went to sleep. You're on night duty and you're snoozing by 12.15am?
Na so I vex, carry MD phone number written on the wall, called MD. Told her all I'd done to stabilize my child from home and how her temp was spiking again because of the stress. How the nurse was nonchalant in her attitude. MD said I should carry my phone to the nurse. I knock tire, nurse don sleep go. MD said I should look for any hospital staff and give the phone to them, just then, another Paed walked into the emergency unit. Her eyes are red from sleep and I give the phone to her. MD speaks with her and she treats Muna.
We were given mosquito bites in our bonbom, 3 sef (I don't know why I just don't want to call injection for her) and we got home around 1.20am. Moyo was the only one at home, asleep.
All the nurse had to do was call the Paed via intercom that a patient needed to be attended to OR is it only when I run in unclad with a child in my arms and me screaming for help while crying like a banshee that I will be regarded as emergency?



We all want change but it really begins with you.
Look at the man in the mirror and tell him to change.
Change his attitude to work.
Someone once told me its called 'work' because it's for you to actually stress yourself and get out of your comfort zone.
When you go to work, do so with the intent of coming back home tired. You can't work and mise your energy....
I know medical personnels don't have it easy: understaffed and overwhelmed with patients but it's still your job to answer the patients as long as they're coming in. What will you do when there's a crisis like a really huge fire outbreak, a storm or serious flooding or a natural disaster? Will you fold?


Big sigh.....


Muna is better now. Using her drugs and playing rough play already (tumbled with her bike on the stairs this afternoon, fought with her brother just before she slept off )

Let me sleep the remainder of my sleep from last night.

Let me sleep the remainder of my sleep from last night.

First of all. Alhamdulilah Robil Alameen for you sis. Alhamdulilah that your story was one of joyful ending. God will not let you mourn any of you kids.

The situation in Nigeria is a very sad one and scary at that. Imagine nurse going to sleep and leaving you sitting? What if you didn’t have the initiative to call the MD? What if the MD hadn’t picked up? I pray we never know the answer to that question.

When I made a post last year about my sons encounter with neonatal jaundice and how I’m pretty sure the situation might be different if this was Nigeria, some people started writing long posts pretty much accusing me of seeing everything wrong and not seeing anything right in Nigeria just because I lived outside the shores of Nigeria.

They forgot that “If mad man don chase you before, tear your clothes join. When you see a mechanic in his work clothes you will borrow yourself sense and pick race.” Common pleural effusion that my mom had as a result of chemotherapy in Luth, turned to gaping hole in her chest and side, turned to lung collapse and finally killed her. All because of I don’t care attitude and “It was not me that attended to her before” and “The doctor is busy right now” she was too weak to fly, so no hope of treatment abroad.

The change begins with all of us. But I’m not even sure where to start from. I hope you tear madness for the nurse well well. Alakoba.

MumJJJ:

Thanks mama,
Could ela be a reaction to something?
we use Johnson products and we are on breastmilk ,formula,and water. could it be as a result of what I eat.
They are twins but one does not have it.

It could be atopic dermatitis, it could be milk intolerance, it could be anything. Take the baby to the ped and also a dermatologist for proper evaluation

Good evening dear mothers, please I just successfully weaned my baby, I don't know what to do with the breast milk. Do I have to press everything out to empty the breast or will it dry out on its own. Thanks

Yesssss!!!!! its Zara's birthday today...
We're popping plenty champagne for all mamas and water for babies.

All roads lead to Zara's school for celebration. Enque will serve us ofada rice and big chicken and smoothies at home.

Zara's cakes are soooo beautiful. Waiting patiently for the parry pictures and maybe videos...

I pray for you Zara, you shall continue to grow in God's wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Your light will continue to shine, your parents shall always be proud of you for you will do great exploits. Happy birthday princess.

Enque...I feel so delighted as you celebrate your darling daughter. I now understand why people celebrate their children's birthday....lessons of motherhood.
You will continue to be well pleased with Zara and God will keep, bless and make you and hubby to be excellent parents.

plenty hugs....Enjoy every bit of the day.

what works for me might not work for another person, the mother who introduced me to it's son is older now and has outgrown the eela stage,I exclusively breastfed my baby for 6months and eela keep reappearing on his skin, when u see me bring out the cream, it more like I'm rubbing him ori cos that's the most visible thing it and so far, he has not gotten any reaction to it so far. i use pure ori everyday and i switch to my combination whenever i notice anything on his body.

when I first noticed eela on my baby's body, I took him to the hospital to see the paed, what I was given didn't work, I bath him with the wine leave for a month, it worked at first and stopped working. I didn't use skineal directly on baby's skin like some mothers do, I believed the ori has suppressed the ugly work it could do. baby will outgrow it very soon and I'll stop

We thank God our Muna is fine, Those nurses attitudes can be very annoying especially General Hospital staffs. we thank God for given u the wisdom to call their MD. I ask for God's total healing on our Muna.

@zaynie we thank God for Muna. God will keep them all for us. When i got to the hospital today, the doctors made me feel i was worrying over nothing. They sent us home with drugs. Had to come back in the night since she wasnt keeping anything down. A doctor still made a remark that she wasnt weak. God will deliver us..
