Good day wonderful Mums.

Pls can I start giving my 3 months old pap?
And what other semi-solids can I introduce to him.

good evening wonderful mothers,pls i need remedy for sore and painful nipple during breastfeeding

Ensure baby is latched on properly by having both the nipple and a reasonable part of the areola in his mouth. You can get a nipple cream, putting breastmilk on the nipple also helps. In all, dont stop breastfeeding, with time it will go. Pele mama

I had my baby 10 days ago... we were discharged on 3 days after birth. I am mix-feeding him as well (water excluded). He did not pooed for 2 days....when he finally pooed it was very hard and small.

With time his stool texture changed and is very regular.

Give her sometime...she will finally do what you wish.


Mama, give baby water since u are misfeeding.

Pls mummies, I went to the hospital to complain that my DD was have temperatures,cough and cattarh. And the doc said I should buy augmentin and loratidine. He is a year and a month. Am skeptical about the loratidine because on it it was written 12 yrs and above. Pls don't look and pass o.my baby is having temperature, have given him paracetamol though

That loratidine was given to my son when he was 7months old and he started behaving strange, it was scary o. Dh alwarned me not to give him but I trust those private hospital doctors so much. I regret giving him and stopped on day1. Pls, talk to your doctor again.

Hello mummies in the house, I am a first time mum and I am not happy with the weight of my baby girl. She weighed 3.2kg at birth and was 4Kg at 3weeks and 5days, she’s currently 8weeks and I am not satisfied with the way she looks, although I haven’t checked her weight, I just want her to look chubby, she’s looking too small to me. She takes both BM and Formula( Nan1), I need suggestions on another formula that can make her gain weight, it seems Nan isn’t doing what I want.

You are concerned and want a chubby baby at 5 weeks? Why not wait for her 6 weeks appointment and allow doctor complain of her weight first.
Madam don't put pressure on yourself, baby still have time to gain weight. Just feed her well, an healthy baby is all that matters. kiss

She is 8 weeks now, not 5, that’s why I am concerned

8weeks is still nothing to worry about too, not all babies will be chubby except the doctor complain about her losing or not gaining weight, concentrate on feeding her well maybe at more regular intervals and ensure she's healthy too. There are lots of things you will need your energy to worry about e.g teething

Meanwhile, sometimes its hard for mummies to really know their baby is adding weight except babies that are really fat. I used to be like that then. It seemed to me like my baby wasn't gaining weight because my neighbour had a fat baby. Now looking back at all his baby pictures on my phone, i kept wondering if i was seeing well because he wasn't that small as i thought.

Kisses to baby and weldone mama

All babies can not be chubby, just focus on feeding baby as at when due. See, my first was very chubby and now my second is skinny and tall, looking healthy too. and they have same weight at birth. The most important thing is to have a healthy baby not compulsory that the baby must be fat abi chubby.

Good evening experienced mamas in the house. I gave birth via cs on Monday and my child had to bottle fed with formula . But I’ve been trying to put him on my breast for 2 days now and he keeps rejecting my breast . I just end up giving him formula. Now my breast are so full and hard and very painful. It’s even leaking. But still he won’t suck. I really want to breastfeed him. What can I do. I tried pumping with electric bottle pump
Today but that thing is too slow . I need your expertise please


Congratulations, please get a manual pump and keep pumping for now. He might find it difficult to latch on your nipples for now, but since he's taking formula from the bottle, just fill the bottle with your expressed milk and feed.

@ Lexy500 use bitterkola abt 3cut it and put in a sterilized bottle. Add boiled n cool water to it after 3days put the water in an eye dropper bottle n be dropping it just a drop morning n night or only night as her syrenght can carry.

I prefer using d solution immediately from day 1 so tat my eye can start adjusting. Starting from day 3 will be painfully to d eye.

Let us hear how it goes

Sometimes, our babies don't look big to us the mums. I think you should use a scale to confirm her weight first before worrying.

Mamas, good evening.
Please how and what do you think I can brush my girl's teeth with coz its kind of not very clean to me. I think its not brown teeth coz the lower ones are whiter than the upper ones.

I use glycerine; a drop or two on cotton wool to clean the teeth after brushing. I do this every other day.

Was using Colgate and maclean toothpaste for toddlers for Ds, but he always had bad breath not long after brushing, esp after a nap. Have to brush multiple times daily cause of this and changed his toothbrush

Resulted to using very little quantity of our regular toothpaste for him and his breath has been good

Any idea what we can do? So he goes back to using his regular toddler toothpaste, he's 22months+

I had same issue when I used colgate. Switched to punch and Judy and we've been good. The flouride in adult toothpaste is too much for a kid.

Looool. No, it's fine. Her bones are just getting strong. Give her natural foods rich in calcium and vitamin D (Google it)

My son had bow legs when he started walking at 8 months, he's almost 3 now and there's nothing like that
