You should be worried if your baby does not poop after almost every feed at this stage. It's absolutely normal (4-8 times daily). Better don't use anything!!! As the baby gets used to the milk and develops, the poop will reduce.

Silver bird is used more for cold and it's not used directly, usually mixed with their oil. For ur baby's age, can't say how safe it is but dont think it has any links with stooling. The stooling will stop on its own so far good hygiene is maintained and u watch what u eat.

Good morning mamas,how was your weekend?
Thanks to everyone that answers our questions and attends to our worries. God bless you all.
However, I will like to point out some issues that I have noticed with some mothers.
Pls mothers, when God decided to give us these kids he entrusted their lives,wellbeing,upkeep in totality to us(parents).
Coming short of these responsibility,is failure on our part. And God is going to hold us responsible.

1)As a mother/parent take extra precautions in whatever you feed your babies.you must first taste whatever you are giving to that child either medication, food or drink.

2)pls read instructions very well, either on their toys, food or medication.read and understand before administering.

3)sample opinions of other mothers before taking a decision.it ll guide you in making right choices.

4)Dont feed your baby concoction or adult food that their system cannot digest.only give recommended food according to months or age.don't mix cereal and puree.
* Eg pap and cerelac,goldenmore and custard.
*Peak123 are for children between 12months and 3years old.

5)consult a paediatrician/doctor for proper medication.

Please DO NOT give your baby Peak 123. She is not old enough for that. Instead, mix formula for her with her pap or to drink. Give her adult food in bits so she can start appreciating it. Stuff like soup, very soft boiled rice, soft plantain, banana, etc. Just anything but still give her regular formula until she is about 1yr or 18 months. That will be her main nutrition while the other foods are just for her to start appreciating adult food.

Please, for mum's that are using silverbird, read the instructions on the packet. You will see that silverbird is not meant to come in contact with the skin at all. It is meant to be smelt by baby near him like on a ball of cotton wool or in a bowl of water if the baby is old enough. Do not drop anything on the soft part of baby's head, it leads to complications later in life.

Beautiful mums, let us be careful of a lot of practices that have been handed down. Before you do or use anything, read up about the good and the bad so you can make informed decisions.

It's most likely gas troubles. Are you bottle feeding? Suspend it for now if you are, then burp the baby well.

When he is crying have you tried swaddling, backing, singing, rocking, white music. Etc.

Personally I won't advice gripe water or any of those gas drops. My pediatrician adviced against it when my baby had gas troubles but I went ahead out of desperation and my baby reacted to it.

However some people say it work. You can read both positive and negative reviews online and make up your mind.

As for the rashes are you rubbing oil on the baby's head? If you are stop it till he is at least 3 months. That's the no 1 cause of rashes for infant.

If it's grunting it's normal cuz the respiratory system is still developing but take the baby to your pediatrician to double check

The 123 at the back of peak means ages 1,2,3

Try and read the instructions on every item you buy

Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by favoredgal: 12:55pm On Sep 08, 2014

@opeoluwa I think fruit puree can be mixed with cereal o! To sweeten the cereal or to thicken the puree. But this is after the puree and the cereal has been given individually to rule out allergies and the like

Anyways valid point there. Mothers should endeavor to do a looooooot of research. The internet is an open book

@opeoluwa, thanks for the information. but for mixing cereal its not bad I do it alot and its good for my baby.

Please peak 123 is from 1year it is better to adhere I think there is a reason for doing it that way, if you are cutting cost you can use Lactogen, Nan, Thrive which are not too expensive.

@nkemella, take your baby to the doc they will check her.it happened to my baby the doc said her chest was clear and with time it stopped.

Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by FINA4804(f): 6:07pm On Sep 08, 2014

Hellooo mamas, I just heard now that indomie causes cancer.Is this true or I'm I missing something? Has anyone heard of this or is it just a rumour?

Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by FINA4804(f): 2:41pm On Sep 09, 2014

That is what people always say but no proof, remember this product still have a NAFDAC number I don't eat indomie that much, I eat it like once in a month, I feel it should not be eaten too much, add things like carrot, egg and other things to make it richer. For me I don't think it causes cancer because no cancer case have being tagged to indomie

A rumor older than 20 years. Heard it first in secondary skl of not primary

Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by imurboss: 9:16pm On Sep 09, 2014

Rumour mongers everywhere, the moment I heard it I believe another manufacturer is just trying to discredit another person's work #competitionthings#

If I tell u that since I heard that rumour I've stopped giving my lo indomie grin

, only God can help us. Thanks for your response my people @Fina4804 @favoredgal
