Good evening mummy's please assist me.

Am strong presently and next thing my son climbed to the place where I kept moth balls and put it in his mouth he must have eaten some, is it harmful? Is there anything I should do now apart from taking him to the hospital?

Please help me he is 2 years old.

How is your son now. I hope you got a solution and he's fine.

Good Day beautiful mamas, can I give my 2weeks old baby cold liver oil? If yes, which brand is best?

It's your choice but Why do you want to give cod liver oil? Why not concentrate on breastfeeding him well that's if you are on EBF because all he needs for now is embedded in the breast milk.

My mum used it for my son as that was what the hospital recommend and gave us. His stump fell off on Day 6 and we discontinued. Instead, she used original blue seal Vaseline on the navel area until it healed.
Thanks a bunch mama cheesy

Water on top wound? Doesn't it sound painful to you?

Some nurses will tell you not to bathe the child sef. Avoid any contact with the site, wear loose diaper. Penicillin will do just fine, I remember we were given vitamin c too then.

Won't be harsh as such, the spirit has been touching it all along now while caring for the cord. We were using chloroxyl gel for the cord and we continued after it fell till it heals but i think methylated spirit is more common.

I think it depends on the type of circumcision that was done for you. The person that did it should tell you. But i know if it's the ring method, you should apply olive oil often so the ring can drop fast. I did ring for my 2 boys and that was the instruction.

It depends on the type of circumcision done.
My first son I ran warm water on it and applied penicillin ointment until the cotton wool fell and it completely healed. He did gomco method.

My boy will do his own tomorrow, I've not been strong to take him to the hospital.

Good morning Mummies, please am new here. I am a first time Mum. My baby is three months old and has stuffy nose which he suffers most at night. I have gone to the hospital and I was given crystal menthol but that thing is too harsh. He has had it for over a month. I bought saline drops it offered some relief but they are expired and I don't want to get another one I just want it to go. After a friend's advice. I have been doing steam for my baby since Saturday, morning and night. Just yesterday I was told to give him vit c please is there something else I can do to relieve him of this it's becoming a nuisance.

Cough started 3 days ago but wasn't obvious but during this night he has coughed 3 times.

And please the nights that are hot how do you cool the room with baby in it? I usually on the AC for sometime switch it off, wait for the temperature to come down a bit before we go into the room. Please how do you cool your room with a baby in it?
For the cough and catarrh, you can use vit c and bath him with hot water(not too hot sha), massage his whole body with it, keep him warm and don't expose him to too much AC till the cough and catarrh goes
Just allow him be free of catarrh and cough first before u start using AC on him.....
When you eventually use AC, the temperature should be around 28-31degrees then make sure the AC is not directly to his bed, and ALWAYS check his body temperature all the time... hope this helps

Me thinks the weather is too cold for Ac these days. I don't know your location though.

Your best bet is covering your baby well and just opening the windows to let in fresh air for sometime. Steam inhalation helps add a drop of the menthol in the water. Vit c too and lots of breastmilk.
Shear butter on the ridge of the nose, chest, ribs and under the feet.

Congratulations ma'am.

Thanks for your response ma

She's 2 months.

I'm the only one bathing her.

Aside bathing time, when i uncloth her you'll see that she'll want to hold something to feel secured, she doesn't cry at that time though. Also, when i put her on my shoulder she will hold herself as if she wants to fall.

What’s the cod liver oil for? I was only asked to give my baby vitamin D(baby D drops). They also recommended poly-vi-sol but I didn’t see the need for it so never bought

I used petroleum jelly. Bend a finger and apply small Vaseline on it, then press onto the navel to rub rotating it to touch all parts. That’s what my mum did and it didn’t take time to heal. As for pains, I don’t think there’s any associated pain

We use AC 24 hours at home so what I do is cover baby if I’m cold. Just know the temperature you feel is same for your baby. Your baby is cold when you are and hot when you are. As for the cough, try vitamin C but if it’s serious or continues see a pediatrician.

No experience with this. Do you massage her with warm water to be sure she’s not having pains? Hope you also don’t use water that’s too hot or too cold on her. Is your home cold? That could give her shiver too
