His temp hot that high and he is teething ,3rd set now

The stool pattern is due to teething. Just make sure he drinks water as often as he could take and try to feed him with the food he prefer most during this period. Its a phase which I'm sure u r used too(teething). I could have suggested an analgesic for him for comfort but I do not know his drug history.

Which formula do you try? Rice or wheat cereal? U will have to try a wife range before you finally settle for the one he likes. This is from a personal experience

Thanks for the responses but I'm sure she latches on well. I made research on it and corrected the way she feeds. It became better at a time but last night was crazy for me. She could not sleep and I could not too, she kept asking for food. It was so difficult.

I'm still open to suggestions on formula. Thanks.

4rm wat I read, some weeks r better dan some. in some weeks, babies demand 4 food like its going out of fashion, while in some, u ll b wondering if something is wrong cos she is not demanding. I ll suggest u watch her 4 a week n c if d pattern changes, cos d truth is wit babies, some nights ll b beta dan some.

can't suggest ny formula cos I'm not using ny now. I used sma gold 4 my son, bt dat was 2yrs back n I tink deer r new variations of it in d mkt now.

Goodevening mothers,pls my 8months+ baby is still not eating anything for over 3months now.have tried all means to make him eat,stil N̶̲̥̅̊Ơ̴̴͡‎​ change.its really frustrating*crying*. We have treated him for malaria last month.a friend suggest i give him worm medicine??

The mom shouldn't be in the room. Try his dad or nanny feeding him. The person feeding him should encourage him by dancing, singing and jumping grin

It worked for my daughter

Honestly have tried the method,its nt working.the problem is he will glady collect the food when you try to spoon feed him ,but he will never swallow it;after few seconds he brings it out from his mouth.

our mothers then hv dis metgod of forcing food down, they close d nose, or blow on his face and d baby is forced to swallow. dis method has its disadvantages o, its nt soo ideal bt it works

Enfamil, Aptamil, SMA.

Enfamil is the best in my opinion, but pricey.

Aptamil is almost as good as Enfamil, but averagely priced...same with SMA.

So it depends on your pocket.

@ Debbie, Sebamed or Aveeno. Used both for my baby. I don't think it is the product you are using. Your baby is just naturally dark skinned. Aveeno is recommended by paediatricians. And she might just be having skin issues or reacting to something. My baby's skin too was like that initially but every thing evened out later. It also depends on skin type. I know mothers that use shea butter and coconut oil for their babies and they have fair, smooth and radiant skins. When I tried that for my baby, she became darker but her skin was smoother and radiant.
And before I forget, I was told by several people not to use Johnson's products even before I gave birth. Reason being that they have so many fake and imitated products in the market. That is if you are buying in Nigeria. And I also heard a myth that Nigerian babies react to Johnson's products.
hmmm,how true is dis,I've been using johnson baby powder for my baby,and johnson baby oil,recently I noticed dat hair is nt growing vry well at the front of my babys head bt growing well at d back,which sometimes people said maybe he want to ve a bald hair,I was thinking maybe dats how babys hair use to grow,his hair was never like dis before,everything from front to back was normal in proportion before,my baby is 10months old,my mother instinct is telling me maybe its d baby shampoo I always used on his hair everyday I want to bath him,or d johnson baby oil I'm using on his head,pls can someone with knowledge explain what's going on for me

ve u ever deworm him since u gave birth to him,if u haven't,u can try deworming him,dat may be d reason why he is nt eating and teething may also be included,try to force him if he dnt want to eat,so he won't weigh less

How is the poo situation now

We are still battling it o, every doctor we asked said it's normal. How can something like that be normal? Even an adult can't stand pooping severally in a day. It's just painful seeing her so uncomfortable.

Its like that swedie, but if you are really keen on introducing formular,u may want to try Lactogen1 by nestle foods. i used it for xenia from 3months and she has never reacted to it. but remember that babies are different, so is their internal organs. You will keep experimenting till you get what suits your child.
