Moms in the house, is baby Walker safe for my hyperactive 6 months Son?

Hyperactivity is a condition o. �
Biko, your baby is very active not hyperactive.
And yes, he can use a baby walker. My baby will be 6 months old soon and I'm getting him a walker.

mzzkismet:



Please take him to the hospital. They should still be able to cut it.

Thank you ma, we've taken him to general hospital and the consultant after examining him said it is small that it is ignorable because he can bring his tongue out and so we should not bother at all.

Give him cord liver oil . I had the same issue with my boy buh he can stand when held.

My twins will soon be 8months old buh not crawling yet .

Good afternoon Moms n Dads

I am a ftm. My dear son is 4months old. I noticed he has reduced the way he eats... He would feed for a short while and then remove his mouth. Its usually a struggle to get him back to the breast... He used to cry a lot but after 2months...hardly cries even if he is hungry or taking immunization injections...not even when he rolled down from our bed...I met him on the floor smiling at me. He just likes to laugh and babble a lot with lots of gestures... Its usually a fight to get him to suck...
Its surprising cos He was once a foodie...his birth weight was 4kg and he had been adding weight ever since but...
at 10weeks immunization he weighed 6.4kg...and weighed 6.2kg at 14weeks immunization... Because that was when the reluctancy to eat started.
I don't really know what to do...it's totally draining. He is exclusively breastfed and he is now four months yet he will keep laughing and SUCKING HIS THUMB ALL DAY... if u don't force him to suck breast.

I am very worried!!!

Please help me!!!

Secondly...he had caput at birth... The softness has hardened but the swelling is still there even at 4months. Will the swelling still go down to rhyme with the shape of his head??

Mama's abeg my baby of 3 months plus has not pooped for like 2 days now and is really disturbing him. Biko any remedy

Hello Mama...for my son... I hold him tight and just pour his not too hot bathing water directly on his anus constantly, he will start farting smelly farts and then poo all the 3 - 5 days poop he had been holding. My mum taught me this!... Or you can just leave him to poop on his own time when he wants. Its normal for babies to not poop for some days even when they make grunting noises.

I dont think there is cause for alarm.

Around this time, it is quite normal for some babies. They are now aware of their environment, every sound and movement interests them.

When you want to feed, take him to a quiet room with dim lights. Alternatively, you can express and spoon feed or bottle feed. Also at this point, you might notice he sucks more at night, kinda making up for the scanty feeding during the day.

About the pain, maybe he is superman

Thank you sis.
You are right about the distraction. Every single thing interests him. If u cough, he will remove his mouth and look at you as if to say...Mummy are you alright

My DS sucks better during the day than at night

The young man seems to be having fun.. Lol. I personally believe that you should try substituting his thumb with your nipple. In other words, when you see him sucking his thumb allow him breastfeed. Also consider timed feeding even though as much as he would take. Possibly every 3 hours...

Regarding caput what I believe he has is Cephahematoma, it will get absorbed and dissolve gradually most definitely before he's one since it is already becoming hard.

if she's passing gas she should be fine but if it exceed the next 24/ 48 hours see your doctor. Does she have an abdominal hernia (big navel?)

Thank you. I was just concerned about the the umbilical cord since it needs to be kept dry always for quicker healing.

Are you sure she’s getting enough milk. That could contribute. Does she wet up to 6 diapers daily? I’m advised to call the hospital if my baby doesn’t soil his diaper after 3 days. You may meet a pediatrician to confirm your baby is okay. You may also express the breastmilk that way you’ll know the quantity you produce at each feeding

Just keep it dry and don’t cover with diaper. Baby’s clothes are mostly cotton and allow easy airflow so nothing to worry about that.

Thank you for your response. No she doesn't. I will take her to the hospital this morning.

Yes she does ma though I don't change her six times daily or maybe I should use this opportunity to ask, how often do I need to change diaper daily if she doesn't poo? Yeah I'm taking her to the hospital this morning. Thank you ma'am.

This mention got lost jn my sea of mentions and only hit pushed up again with others quoting it


1. Get him Mittens to wear. You don't want a sucking baby, they don't like eating, AT ALL! It also ruins their dentition, so curb it while you can.

2. When he's sucking, does he get enough milk? Sometimes when the sucking is hard on them, it discourages them. Some babies are lazy suckers.
I'll advise you to pump the milk out and feed him with bottles. He should suck like 4 times a day then support with bottles.

3. He's 4m means he'll soon start complimentary feeding, he might just be looking for a change of meals. Lol.

4. Keep calm, children's feeding pattern are mostly related to growth spurts. At this age, their body metabolism determines how hungry they get so when his metabolism is in full drive, he'll eat a lot and you'll see the effect in a growth spurt. After reaching the peak of his spurt, he slows down metabolism and his feeding pattern will slow down too.


Try the bottle and see if you can rule out the sucking issue first.
If he rejects bottle, try spoon.
If he ejects both, get a formula for him and see if he'll accept it.
I know it's your dream to ebf but if the person you want to ebf for says no, maami, you have to change tactics for his sake.

I have no idea about caput, sorry.
Good luck.

if she is weeing and passing gas,I don't think there is a problem.
my DD once stayed for 12days without pooing.my DS poos once in 8-10 days,but the smell na die,even when he farts the smell is something else.
EBF babies don't poo regularly so I learnt from hospital, this thread.

Ebonybiuty:

It's normal.

Our mothers usually press it out but pediatricians will tell you to leave it, as pressing it can lead to mastitis/ infection, which isn't a funny thing at all and occurs way too often.

Just leave it.
