Oh ok. Thanks. My HMO doesn't cover it. Saw both for 13k but wanted to know if it's cheaper elsewhere.

@JGracious, thanks. I think I got a fair price then.

@13k that's very fair o. That's the lowest I've heard about sef.
Do you mind sharing the name and area of the hospital?
Thanks

My baby had this for so long, it started when she was few months old. I tried all sorts before someone prescribed baby Tetmosol for it. I started using it to bath her and it gradually stopped. About a month ago, I decided to start using the Dove soap we use at home for her too, you won't believe the rashes came back. And hers always go beyond the neck to the whole of her upper back. I became confused. I may have to go back to Tetmosol or try Aveeno.

She's 2 years plus now.

cc PreciousRuby

yeah same here, comes back anytime I try to change soap. I'm sha consoling myself cuz one Aveeno lasts very long

We did the lazy parent approach and had only a photo shoot at home.

For the photo shoot I will say wait till another day. Even on a normal day, babies are unpredictable with photos. Not to talk of a day that they have punctured every where with needles.
Check your phone for a good clear photo the printer can use, maybe one that you took him recently may be going to church or another party.

For the party packs - you can add a story book, packs of sweets and biscuits., small toys. Crayons or colour pencils and colouring books.

For an alternative to the colouring books you can go online and print out some colouring sheets. Download a few as a jpg format and print it out on A4 - back and front and staple together.

For games it depends on the age. If they are under 3, e go tough oh. you can have a little story time and song time with actions.
Games like musical chairs and musical statues are also good for older kids.
A fashion parade is also an option.

You could also do pass the parcel, where you wrap a gift inside like 10 different wrapping papers and you sing a song whilst passing the parcel from one person to the other. when the song ends the person with the parcel, opens a wraper. And on and on until the last person opens the last weaker and wins the gift.

If you have a crawling babies you could do a baby crawling contents where the babies "race" from a starting line to a finish line, one of their parents will usually be at the finish line to encourage the baby,

That's all I can think of for now.
Good luck

Activities:
*you can get a bouncy castle (not sure if they come cheap in PH but there is no harm asking/shopping around/negotiating). bouncy castle is usually well loved by kids at parties and it keeps them very occupied.
*face painting for kids (and maybe agbaya adults ) is another favourite for kids. again, i do not know how much this will cost but shop around, check instagram and negotiate as well
*you also have to keep the parents entertained, so it is a good idea to get a DJ (or buy DJ mixtape CDs) to play music non-stop.
*musical chairs competition for both kids and adults is also very exciting.
*sack race competition for both kids and adults is another good idea.
*splitting the kids into two teams and have each child take penalty kicks (an adult that act as the goalkeeper). the team that scores the most goals wins. this activity can also be done by the adults.

party packs:
plastic whistle, pencil, eraser, small notebook, assorted lollies, small plastic rulers, key holder, colourful hair bands/ribbons, fashion hand bands, plastic combs, sharpener, crayons, small colouring book. .. .

Haba!!! Dokita mama ejima? You made this diagnosis based on the rashes or that the head is awkwardly bigger than the body?

A child who has lost weight like the op mentioned will have a head bigger than the body cos the head no dey loose weight.

.Hydrocephalus would have been diagnosed immediately after birth if that's the case.

You didnt say what the rash that you saw picture could be! But was quick to diagnose on a head you didn't see

Lol. Indocid. My sister, rats have upgraded o. Rats these days perceive when there's poison in food and would not go near it o, except the ones wey never sabi life

Indocid and other killer Meds became so popular that rats in my house back then would never go near it, na just waste of time. Mostly it was the rat gum that worked for me before fake ones entered market. Rats would then enter inside the gum and sashay out
Finally we fumigated and had rest of mind, even with mosquitoes and other rodents.

Please how did you fumigate? Rats are giving me headache. seems they want to invade the territory

Jaymarius:

It was in my dad's house then. He made the arrangements with the chemical guy. We just left the house when he was about to start spraying and returned hours later. Maybe you can ask around for fumigators. If you have very close neighbours, you might have to arrange with them to leave the environment when fumigating.
That thing is strong sha. We came back to meet dead lizards, rats and rodents, and the best part, no smell. Just dried up. It kills snakes too. No mosquitoes or cockroaches again for monthsss

As for me it is catching, nice to be there, fascinating and many more. who send me to advertise sef.

pocket friendly? As for me it is not meant for an average Nigerian except if the person wants to fast after it.

went there with my family and we turned back from the gate after all the money story...

Depending on your location, Omu Resort Centre is nice and pocket friendly though not as big as hi impact.

Have you tried taking fenugreek?

I hear it's very effective. Also feed him as much as possible from the breasts to encourage more milk let down. The more you breastfeed the more milk your breast produce. And always stay hydrated. I wish you well.

Story of my life
Took everything too, even lactating cookies and granola and didn't get the result I wanted (except fenugreek).. maybe you should try fenugreek like the other mama adviced cus that's the only thing I didn't take

What I've been doing is drink a lot of water and pap
And most importantly, have rest of mind, sleep when LO is sleeping and always put LO to breast, if you feel he isn't getting enough substitute with formula please

Also try to BF at night cus thats when production is high.
Think it helped me too

It will get better
I also planned to EBF but it didn't happen for me
And yes I still substitute with formula
Don't beat yourself up, it will get better with time

Try not to worry, easier said than done, I know. You just might be producing super sufficient milk but not know.

In my experience, the breast pump is unreliable. I'm almost 7 months into breastfeeding and I have NEVER been able to express with a manual pump, tried Mam, Medela and Philips Avent.
I then used Medela electronic pump and I have NEVER been able to get more than 2 ounces from a full breast.
I almost got into the "not producing" trap too but hunted and hunted for information on the internet.

You need to try other means of knowing if your baby is getting enough milk. Accepting formula after being breastfed is not proof enough because babies generally like to suck. And you just might be teaching baby bad hunger cues and also putting your supply journey at risk because the more baby takes, the more your body produces. Breastfeeding is demand and supply, not a storage tank.

He's just 11 days, my suggestions:
1. Ditch the formula until you are absolutely sure he's not feeding well at the breast

2. Nurse frequently, not pump, direct baby to breast. At least, every 2 hours and on demand

3. Check you baby's throat. You can totally tell when they are sucking well. When you first put them to breast, they do a quick suck motion. This is what stimulates your breast to release milk.
When the breast milk starts to flow well, you'd see them take longer and bigger swallows, sometimes you can even hear it.

4. Let your instinct guide you

Let us know how it goes and good luck mama!

no ideas....i didnt have a VD

GlamMrsO , does it hurt? You must have resumed sexual pleasure, does it hurt still? If it doesn't and you are sure through a mirror thorough vagina inspection that there is no hole there, please embrace your package, it might stop with time.

Myself I had a very terrible tear when I had my son, till today @11months, I sometimes pass gas through my V especially when am lying down Sha.

You're not alone ma'am
It happens to me sometimes too

From what I gathered here, sitting on a hard surface immediately after VD with tear prevents it

Don't know how it can be corrected now... I'll like to know if there's anything we can do
