Colic. It will pass before she us 3 months. Hang in there. Her digestive system is still maturing to process gas effectively. In the meAn time, burp her well after each feed, if you can supervise closely, try putting her to sleep on her tummy, or back her.


Also try anti colic bottles like dr brown for the nan1 you are giving her

I just stumbled on this as you didn't 'mention' my handle properly, so I wasn't notified and I don't come on here often as I see that we have very experienced mothers giving out advise and suggestions. Kudos to you all.

What is your baby Genotype? I could have suspected IUGR but I ruled it out since you said she was born healthy and full of life. I also ruled out neurological disorders like palsy because the motor development isn't extremely delayed. There are 2 factors I 'suspect' low muscle tone or improper handling/training. Babies do not develop equally and don't compare your baby with others. I will take time to break this 2 factors down for you.

Some babies suffer poor muscle distribution and thus, it takes more time for them to do some activities/actions like crawling or sitting down.

Second one is related to the first factor which is handling/training. Our doctors are seriously stressed and it takes chance and grace to get one to properly access you when you need a special attention, this was why they and the nurses were quick to throw shade at you when they see your baby( I stood by your words that your baby is well fed). Because they could have properly sit you down and explain to you how you could aid your baby to start on his motor skills. It is clear here that its taking time for him to reach one of the important mile stone which is sitting, by now, your baby should have gone past sitting 6 months behind!. There are some sitting practices our elderly mothers train babies with( like sitting him down in a carton of indomie and supporting his back with clothes or foam). Do this like 4 or 5 times in a day and don't leave him unmonitored. After he has crossed that sitting stage( this shouldn't take long before he starts sitting, say 1 month), the next is to put him on a walker. BUT if he doesn't sit with this method within 1 month, then he need a neurologist and not a paed
I have sent an email to a consultant paed in Ekiti and I'm waiting for his approval to drop his details with you. Trust me, your baby will be fine

And pls always come on here to update about the progress as you practice the motor skills on her. Thank you

Deer are diff 4month+ cereals in eg cow nd gate porridge etc or u can " do it ursef" eg mash banana or avocado.u can also give him blended Irish potatoes or sweet potatoes mixed with milk. Visit www.wholesomebabyfood.com d ones I mentioned re safe for 4 months.
Ps.don't 4get to give him water well once u start weaning nd let d food be very light.

tnk u so much. infact i cant tnk u enough for ur concern. u re rit she stats sitting late by herself around 7mnths, nd since den no oda developmnt. her weight is very poor nd im tryin my best givin her wat i tink shud work for her. as regards her birth, d only tin i cud say is dat she is deliverd tru CS and she dnt cry immediately she was deliverd, i knw dis cos i was not sleepin truout d process i tink dey jst reduce effect of pain. so dat is d only tin dat happns durin her birth, but her first 6mnth or there about of life was fantastic, very fat, lively, talking always baby. though, probably cos she is always with me i dnt notice dis changes until wen we went for her last immunizastion. since den ve been batlin wit all wat ve said earlier. i honestly appreciate u. God bless u.

@babe01, there are foods for four months, cow and gate, heinz, millupa. Start with a cereal with one grain. Choose a good milk too, there are also purees you can make at home or buy already made.
For teething I use only paracetamol

I used paracetamol when my baby was running temperature and teething.

Ensure your immediate environment is clean because your babies might want to use anything they can lay their hands on to scratch their teeth e.g toys

Get them teething rings if you can,it helps!!!

As for the pooing, it goes with time,just maintain proper hygiene.
