what kind of oat,my dear,yeah its nt easy bt what can I do,I gave him one and half egg yolk yesterday and he collected it vry well,though he was crying while I was giving him,I think becos egg yolk doesn't ve any lump there,dats why he didn't choke on it or vomit,being a mother is nt easy,bt I think its our job to take care of them and see dat they re okay,dats our job as mothers,may God give us more strengths to take care of them as we wants,merry xmas everybody

You can try quaker oat. Also try custard too. Have u tried semo and amala too. Make it very soft and give him little at a time. My baby loves it. The Lord is ur strenght.

I want to digress a bit. Is it true that putting bosom milk in a baby's eyes will make them clear? My MIL just said I should start putting it in my baby's eyes. I know I won't do it though. It's just new to me and that's why I'm asking.


U do not need to put breast milk in his eyes, the eyes will clear gradually by itself, I remember my MIL also told me to do dat buh I dint, cos I asked d doc and she said I should not put anything. God bless us,our children and our husbands.have a great holiday.

tchiwinnie:
my dear, i think its better u c sm1 do it. d method is said nt to b safe tho it works for sone babies. so its better u see how its done than just description

ok, thanks

MojAyo:
I think maybe u should read up what someone says about it killing a child,u must be vry careful,what kind of food re u trying to feed ur baby to eat,why dnt u forcefeed urs with a spoon,I do forcefeed mine with a spoon,becos he doesn't want to eat at all,bt I gave him in little quantity,so dat he won't vomit,I think ur baby is teething,which is also doing mine,try to give him what he like most for now,I do give my baby cerelac becos he like it so much,though its expensive,bt what can I do

tnx my sister, I read d sad incident. but then, it's me d mother dat wil b doin d feedin.. I do forcefeed wt spoon just dt dis method seems faster

Merry Christmas to all the super moms and dads of this thread. may d new year usher in beautiful things. happy holidays!

Sabi mamas, what can I use to clean my baby's nostrils? I thought of using cotton swabs but they are almost bigger than her nostrils. Also, how can I cut her fingernails? They are sharp and she uses it to scratch my skin sometimes.

NoQualms1:
Good day sabi people. My 16-day old daughter stools too often. It's almost an hour thing, if she passes gas, poop comes out with it. I went to the doctor to complain twice, he said it's normal. Yesterday, I noticed the inner part of her bottom at the back is red. As at this morning, it has turned to a wound.

Whenever she poops, she cries with all her energy and I believe it's the wound paining her. Same with if I touch that place. Please, what can I do to make the wound heal and fast? Thank you.

Did you do anything different to stop the frequent poo?

My baby is approaching 7 weeks and poo everytime he feeds and its kinda watering and has whitish kind of seed in it, sometimes its foamy. Im tired of it joor. Its 9 days since it started.

Sometimes, just when he sneezes or farts, little poo will jump out.

Pls, wht should i do?.
@jam04, i need response from u too.

Thanks all

Her face would be red by now from her scratch. You cut it when you are feeding her or when she is asleep with nail cutter.

A paediatrician recommended ORS and baby zinc. I used it for a day or two but stopped when I didn't see the effect. She still poops a lot but it has reduced compared to then.

God is your strength. Please, when you get a solution, I'll like to know.

@rezzy, thanks

Your baby look normal to me. The poo pattern(seedlike and co) are normal for his age. I guess he is breast fed..huh? Do you change your diet recently? How wet is his diaper during his routine diaper change? Is it same wetness or there is reduction in the urine soaked diaper?

I assume the poo isn't overtly smelly and the baby weight isn't reduced.

Introduce her to calcium rich food and engage her in appropriate motor skills.

He is breastfed. I only stopped taking tea. The wetness of his diaper is the same.
Sometimes, his poo doesnt smell but this evening own smelled but not too badly. He isnt losing weight.

Thanks

Scared or startled

Compliments of d season Nairalanders...I'm a 1st time mum&resuming work tomorrow after maternity leave.as much as I like to work and want to earn an income, I don't want to go back to my bank job cos it's very stressful, I don't av a specific closing time&i feel bad that I won't av time for my baby.i av tried applying for jobs but no show.b cos I work in operations, we resume 7.15am and Can close anytime from 7pm.so dt means I'll probably leave d house 6am and may not b back home till 9th or later so how do I av family time. I know that's how lagos life is but I'm not happy with this and my hubby doesn't want me to resign until I find another job. Truth is I can't attend interviews cos in d last 1yr iv had interviews I couldn't go for because of d nature of my job.im just so confused. Wish a miracle cld happen before tomorrow morning so that I won't have to go back to work. I'm thankful I av a job to go to nd grateful for God's blessings but if u r not in my shoes u may not understand this feeling. What can I do?

Find a good creche close to your work place. The creche should be as close as possible so that you can stroll in anytime to check on your baby.

The problem is not finding a creche but we're not allowed to go out during work hours that's y I said it's hard to change jobs cos I can't even attend interviews unless I make up a story to leave work.my baby is going

Na wa o. Which kain bank job be that? I know banks that give mothers time to go home and breastfeed their babies. I wonder why yours don't have same rule. You either go home or someone brings d baby to you. Ask in your office cos its possible its allowed
