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

It's branch operations and we're not allowed to go out. Sometimes it's so busy we can't even have lunch in d same building. It's sad but naija factor will not allow me fight it when I don't av am alternative

Pele my dear. How long is your maternity leave? Are u exclusively Bra.est feeding? Do you have a trusted nanny? How far is your house from the office? Are you alone in your unit? How long have you worked with them? All these questions is because: my mat leave lasted 3mnths. I exclusively bra.est fed for 5 and half mnths which meant I went home for mine and bby's lunch. I had a bra.est pump too which I used bfr work and during break at home. I clsed when we close to customers untl my bby turned 6mnths. All these was possible bcs of prayers, rapport with colleagues, we were two in my unit, my house was only abt 5mins away from ofis and my nanny was relatively reliable.
I wish you all the best and pray u find a workable routine. P.S I very nearly quitted too when it was time to resume work but I adapted.

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
Reading ur posts, i realize i am lucky, my babies are almost 11months old too and they eat everything. Rice,cemo,poundo,noodles,porridge made with potatoes or yam whatever,fish, egg yolk, its cereal dey dont even care for much.keep offering everything to ur.baby, soon he'll adapt, he was.probably breastfed exclusively. Bottle fed babies are more keen to try out foods.dont be afraid he is old enuf for.adult food.

Sorry to digress from your main enquiry. Why are you giving her formula now?
There is nothing bad in stimulating her anus at this age cos the muscles aren't well developed yet to push out themselves. With time the baby will learn to push.

Buy the one recommended for your baby age to avoid choking. Pacifier's are good

A 3 weeks old baby can't eat that much that u will get dizzy. Its either ur milk is not expressing enough or she is not latching on properly. EBF is the best if you can do it

You feel dizzy cos you are not eating well. Are you trying to diet? Hope not. If u are Ebfing, you need to eat a well balanced meal also continue with ur vitamins. Don't forget to rest well.

Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by FINA4804(f): 10:31am On Jan 03, 2015
I think it is normal its because she is not eating I think multivitamin will help, just take her to a pediatrician they will tell you the one to give her, I have not given my baby any so I can't say anything concerning that. But try force her to eat, give her fruits such as orange then if you can get purees they help alot

Abidec is working wonders in my son's life...he now eats very well. You can buy Abidec, not the one with the dropper, but the one for 1-5 yr olds.

My dear please stop cleaning your baby's hear. He needs the wax coming out of it to prevent infection. Excessive cleaning causes infection for babies. Please let google, baby centre be our dictionary. Thank you. ]
