Potty tips for the modern toddler (No different from what your mum did). The good thing is, potty training is a 2-parent job (I can't aim whilst standing up, can you??)

Hello moms good morning
I just discovered swelling on my 7 weeks old dd's vjay. One part of the labia is swollen and rock hard
She cried all night and I thought it was stomach iss
Any one experienced this before? How did you manage it pls share
Thanks

iomoge2:

Her puree do u add groundnuts? Groundnut is known to cause allergy. Do u give her Tom brown? Or add groundnut in her pap?

Your curtains, wash them as often as possible. Dust is a factor too.

Then some children outgrow it.
Now any growth we are recording is after a coughing episode. Even to get taller, she can cough for two days. I don't know how it's connected. Even to grow teeth, she will cough n tire.
Just be strong for her, and don't expose her to dust, smoke, frying or cold. With time u will pin point Wat triggers it for her.

Ours was so severe that we did X-ray. And nothing was found. She will alright.

Thanks so much mama. I just collected her x-ray result. Lungs r free, d Heart is in its normal size etc. I will watch out those things

Insecticide is a big irritant. We have the same issue. Bronchitis and what you're describing means you should be quite careful, you may have a child that is prone to some upper respiratory illnesses. Nothing to be worried about, they usually outgrow it, you also have to watch out for Sinusitis. Doctors don't diagnose Asthma before the age of 2, but they will treat it. I advise you get a hospital with a Paediatrician who comes in daily. And ask the Paediatrician what his/her specialty is in. It helps if they know a pulmonologist or Thoracic physician. They're rare.

Thanks so much ma. I pray she outgrows it.

thanks mum-ibeji!

I don't add groundnut to her meal but I eat it. She might probably get it from my BF. I also noticed her cough becomes severe whenever she's teething. Thanks so much ma.

Good morning mamas. Plz I need suggestion on this, anytime I give banana puree to my baby girl her poo is always very black though she likes the banana very well I don't have to force her to take it but the poo thing is my concern, does that mean I should stop giving her? plz come to my aid

Black poop as a result of bananas is very normal. If you're worried, minimize giving her the puree. But also be careful, bananas are constipated food. You can try other fruit puree to blend it.

Please see a doctor

want to appreciate all the wonderful mothers for their love towards my son and I, your prayers and support was needed and you didn't fail to show undiluted love towards us.
motherhood has thought me patience, unconditional love and above all it has thought me how to be strong both physically and emotionally. I rem when he was admitted at just 3days old, we did bilirubim test every 8hrs and each test requires blood sample which they will prick more than 10 places just to remove blood. At a point they had to tie his hands and legs cos my boy no gree o, his hair was shaved all na vain dem dey find. They called him ekwe sample lol, because of the way he was always giving d doctors headache. I can remember crying like I lost someone, the sleepless night nko? at a point I was like a mad woman, I walked passed the hospital (university of calabar teaching hospital) cos I was deep in thoughts and when I approached a man to ask for direction, he thought I was mad...lol. I don't blame him sha cos I actually looked like one then.
I stopped crying when one of the doctors I approached told me about his possibilities of getting CP cos his body movement was different and he cries with a high pitch. I found strength, I picked up my boy and prayed for him...I told him doctor has said his own, but God has a purpose for him that was when I became strong. I even helped one of d student doctor hold his hands so he can fix Carniola.
Thank God I experienced the joys of motherhood the sweet and sour part. All babies are born special, I've learned to love them irrespective of their conditions cos I know what their mothers will be going through. I love you and all the wonderful babies out there. May God bless our babies and may they continue to be a bunch of blessings to our families.

Pls you need to see the Doc ASAP, don't manage it and be very prayerful cos i just remember seeing your post on the pregnancy thread

Shallypop:
Good day mamas. My 8 months old baby usually have cough every 2 months. She was down with bronchitis at 5 months. The paediatrician said she's reacting to something in d house coupled with infection. I have no idea what she might be reacting to at home. I do not put on fan nor A.c. I was even asked if any1 has a history of Asthma in my family. And I said no. I'm worried cos of d question asked. Nobody actually has a history of Asthma at both sides.Anyone experienced this?
Thanks

Does your child occasionally sneezes?
Tag me if it's yes .
Thanks

iomoge2:

The child might actually be reacting to the weather which manifests through sinus infection.
That's why I ask if the child sneezes a lot.
Sadly, some of the best hospitals in Nigeria don't have the equipment to test for this or the drs even suggest it as one of the suspects.

If it's sinutisis which I strongly believe it is, I can tell her what she can do until the child outgrown it.
If it's not handled properly, it can cause asthma and some hospitals give out asthma drugs which worsens it.

My child has a similar case.

olamitie:
Abeg make una help me, we treat cough every two months, i m tired of using cough syrup, have tried honey but no difference, I dont expose her o, d fan is always off self, any other home remedy for cough that works fast..thanks in advance...

Sorry dear it can be frustrating when nothing seems to work.
Please how old is your baby?

Please do not use honey for her if under 12 months due to the risk of botulism.

pls ma, tell me what to do. I don't want it to turn to Asthma. I guessed it might be the weather cos I noticed dat when she was down with bronchitis, alot of kids came with d same issue and i was told there was an epidemic. She sneezes alot as well.

sassysure:

Yes she does

iomoge2:

Ok.I will. Thanks so much. Is your child's cough better now?

Shallypop:
Yes she does

She won't have asthma so don't panic.
She has a sensitive nose which makes her react to humidity a lot in other words she suffers from sinusitis
Somebody with such can easily attract virus or bacteria and u know these things spread so fast especially through sneezing that's why it can speed to the lung in less than 2 days anytime she starts sneezing.
So the focus is on how to stop her from sneezing.

Trust me I spent hundreds of thousands for this. Had I know .....but then again, its ok as long as my child is all right.
A child that was very well last 3 days might be rushed to emergency and be on oxygen 24hrs battling breathing problem and some drs will want to pin it on asthma . And if u continue giving asthma drug to one who isn't asthmatic, u are actually encouraging it to develop.That's how bad it is. (We started from common cold, bacteria, pneumonia.....etc)
But then again cos it's a very good hospital and frequent visits more suggestions and measures until we added all together to come to the conclusion that it's sinutisis and since then till we left the country no more hospital or drugs.


Do u know the normal saline drip?
It's a mixture of water and salt.
Google it's effect in cleaning the nose.( one of my child's peadiatrician told me to use that even at the time we didn't know it was sinutisis)
It's like using antiseptic soap to wash hand to avoid germs.
That's what it does to the nose. It kills any foreign organism in the nose. U use that to clean the nose through nebulizing machine. (Ur child will be inhaling the steam and as she does so, it cleanses the nose of any impurities)
Then get a nebulizing machine.
Google can explain better if u don't know what it is. A little bit costly but it's a must. Go to shops that sell medical equipment.
U get the drip that's in a plastic bottle.
But a carton of syringe too.
Go to ur Dr( good one and show him or her this post), tell ur Dr to show you how to use it and what qty to put for us baby to inhale. A seasoned nurse can be of help too. It's not my duty to tell u the qty but it's actually small. Asthma patients use such machine.

I started by nebulizing him every two two days, then 3, and 2times in a week.
Anytime I notice he is sneezing anyhow, I will do that. It's not drug. Just ordinary drip water.
I always prefer after bath cos that's when the nose Is most sensitive. Most of the time when bathing people with such problem, u will notice that their nose are not usually friendly with soap. It makes them sneeze a lot.
Anything that makes them sneeze should be avoided.

Yeah, my child stopped creche cos of this and this has been the only reason why he normally visit the hospital.
It escalated cos I didn't start the right treatment on time till around 5 yrs.
It's kind of heredity.
We don't have asthma in either of the families but I suffer from post nasal drip anytime I'm pregnant. Can u see the relationship?
But if it keeps on affecting the lung, it can lead to asthma.

As time goes on, ur child will out grow it.( one of our drs that identified with the case very well did so cos her son suffers from the same thing and this is what she uses)
Of course cold may cause runny nose but always be alert when u see signs of cold or bacteria infection.

U have to learn how to differentiate between sinutisis sneezing and cough, cold sneezing and cough and malaria or bacterial infection sneezing and cough.
(Yeah, motherhood is hard, right? )

I used rhinatiol for cough as it dried sputum and controls sneezing( it was the best after using almost all the cough syrup I can find then) . The aim is when it's continues sneezing, it will help dry out the sputum quicker. But of course you should know what is best for ur child.
Pls stop using antibiotics without test and that should be done in good hospital.

Majority of people that suffer from asthma as adults do so cos of negligence from parents when cases like this started when they were kids and our hospitals aren't helping too.
Majority of the children taken to hospital are misdiagnosed about this epidemic and trust me more than 60% of the children taken to hospital annually during rainy season is because of this.

Not to worry, show this to ur trusted health practitioner and follow what she or he tells u and gradually, it will stop.
It took me 3 yrs of going to zankli hospital Abuja to get to this level. They should be among the best paediatric hospital in Nigeria.
If u live in Abuja, I will suggest u go there.

I do hope my explanation is simple enough.
All the best.
