Yh,I think so..I have a sis who doesn't see her menses after delivery till she wean that baby(as in,stop breastfeeding)...She's evn pregnant again and doing fine.
Also have someone who got pregnant again when she hasn't even seen her menses after delivery...etc...I don't think there's anything wrong,but u can jz talk to Ur caregiver if that will make Ur mind be at ease... regards to baby

Hi all, I just joined this group. My baby is ten days old and has open head in the middle of her head. She poos immediately she is breastfed. She has done this six times today. I don't know if there is any remedy for it or do we just wait it out?
PS- My mom rubs palm kernel oil mixed with silver bird on it daily.

For the pooing, it's normal and it will gradually reduce cos I experienced same and doctor told me not to worry cos it's normal. My 6 weeks old baby doesn't poo everyday now. So relax

Please stop the silver bird mixture. Just palm kernel oil, or any other oil is fine. Used same for DS and I had to stop when it started looking worse. Don't think silver bird should be applied directly on the skin.

the poo is normal but by open head what do you mean? Are you referring to the soft part on the top of the head of your child.. It's called a fontanelle. They are actually two of them one in front and another at the back. They are there for a purpose one of which is to allow for proper growth of the brain of a child. There's nothing you can do about it to make it close sooner because there is a programmed time for it to close which is mostly between 9 and 2 years. The one at the back closes between 1 to 2 months.. Be mindful of what you apply. That's the brain of your child directly under.

Oh! And if it looks depressed inside rather than just slightly it could mean your child isn't getting enough fluid, you should increase your feeding rate to improve hydration

Okay, noted mama but how did u deal with that of ur DS? It causes mine to feed and stool frequently, she also feel occasional pains on her stomach.

what was your baby birth weight
?


Initially for the first few days.. All babies weight drop before gradually picking up again. That's entirely normal. The gut(digestive system) of your baby needs what I'd call booting time to become familiar with milk diet and also for full development of its digestive enzymes.. So initially motility is increased before it gradually reduces from many times a day to probably once in 3 days..

How's his poop like still? Color and consistency... If it's extremely watery which I doubt then you should see a pediatrician in person but if it looks like the egusi soup grin then I think you should calm your nerve a little

I applied just palm kernel oil for my ds and baby oil for my dd. It's not the reason why your baby poops regularly.
Like the papa above said, it's completely normal, it will closeup as baby gets older. Just ensure it doesn't get sunken as that is a sign of dehydration and you'll need to increase feeding.

I experienced the poop thing with my dd the 1st week and it just stopped b4 I took her to the Hosp.
She lost some weight too which was completely normal
As long as it's not watery and/Or greenish poop, she's fine
But I think if the frequency doesn't reduce and has been on since birth, you can take her to the Hosp.
And please feed her more often to avoid dehydration.

The stomach pain is normal too. Gave my ds nospamin for it (can't say if it really worked) and didn't give dd anything for it. They outgrow it, its a phase and it will pass.
Also watch what you eat to ensure it doesn't cause the regular poop.

The 1st few weeks are the hardest, hang in there mama kiss

thanks for this review, very useful

fabelladee:


I am plus size but I didn't experience any crazy weight gain because I paid attention to it for the first 3 months which was the duration of the first shot.
My period were very normal and regular too. I personally didn't experience irregular bleeding or really heavy periods either, it was still my regular cycle and flow. I had way less cramping too and some months no cramps at all!
I surprisingly had no acne all through as well.
It worked great for me and I was really happy about it unlike my personal experience with Implants.
I was skeptical at first but after use the Pros definitely outweighed the Cons for me. smiley

Hello ma, pap should not be the only meal to be given to babies. Also try introducing semi solid meals to babies.
Try as much as possible to introduce several meals so that babies can easily get used to them at their earlier stages.



quote author=Lizzieo post=92239859]

Can pap be given to a baby of 8months and will be satisfy?
