Please, no one was there when God planted her in ur womb, they were not there when God nurtured her till u birth her, I now wonder why they will be the one to decide when she will crawl or walk. Leave her alone, let her do her stuff in her own pace. We like trying God too much. My only advice for you is not to be carrying her too much, free her but no one should force her to crawl because it will eventually happen and even walk before those crawling from the womb. I just tire for people. That's how one old mama wanted to frustrate my son that he didn't talk on time and she started comparing him to his grandchildren until I don't allow her to greet the boy again by dragging my son whenever we meet her on the road. don't allow anyone to create unnecessary fear into you, each child to his/her own pace o my sister.

lopside12:


My family said i walked at 7 months..
My sister walked at 7 and her twin bro walked at 12 months...

Donkey years later do my parents feel that my walking early is a feat?.NO

So long as you have a healthy little one, those things should not even bother you

hunniesuzie:
Crawling is not even deemed a milestone because some babies simply don't do it. You baby already moves by herself whether by shuffling or actual crawling doesn't matter. Some babies go from shuffling to standing and walking without ever crawling. Please don't listen to anybody, babies develop at their own pace, 7 months is still young. Tell your colleague next time to show you the award she got when her baby started standing/walking/quoting the bible/doing cartwheels...whatever

I do gradual weaning instead of going cold turkey.
Stoo day time weaning and do evening to night only.
Try not to put him to sleep with breast in his mouth.
Then gradually at night, introduce water instead of breastmilk (I try not to use mill or juice cos of dental caries or to avoid night feeding).

Why you calling mama Ekene, you no hear say Ekene still dey suck bweast?
Runs away.

Lilliesbud12:

She may not take it without a sweetener being added to it. either a cube of sugar or a little honey if she's more than a year. Milks are not sweet on their own now.. when it's not formula.

You can check the link below for steps on weaning a baby. hoping it helps.

Lol, since beginning of January. My mum was around so I just sent him to sleep with her (he was only sucking in the night at this point). He cried a lot the first night then settled down after. He drinks only water at night now, eats his last meal for the day at 9pm, wakes up about 5/5:30 for breakfast

isokey:

Mama do not worry too much about this. I also noticed it in my son's testicle at around 2months, I was so worried and scared. I went to the hospital, did a scan and its was confirmed to be hydrocele... We were told it will gradually reduce and return to normal before he's six months. And so it did, no drugs at all. You can do a scan test be double sure. No cause for alarm.

Akorkor:


So he doesnt suck again?

Please mama's I have come with my questions. What is the average age for a baby to start crawling because the way this thing is going, I will punch someone soon. So Hubby does this thing where he tries to get out baby to crawl. She actually bends her legs and raises her bottom and shifts. If you drop her in one place, come back in 5minutes and she is somewhere else. I have never seen her do the crawling movement but I know if I place her in the middle of the rug to go and do something, I can come back and meet her elsewhere.
So back to Hubby, he does this thing where he places her toys far away from her. She tries to stretch to reach it and he is clapping his hands and saying crawl, crawl. She actually lifts her legs and bottom to crawl bit after a while, she starts crying. At first it was funny to me but now It's not. Two of my SIL came on Sunday and they kept exclaiming that why is she not crawling yet. One of them actually put her on the floor and tries to bend her legs! The poor girl was screaming until I came to carry while giving SIL bad eye. Today at work, I was gisting with my colleague. She gave birth three weeks before I did and she said her baby can now stand and I jokingly mentioned that mine is yet to crawl sef and she tried to insinuate that maybe there is something wrong with my baby's legs because she should be crawling by 7months. If to say no be office we dey, I swear I for woz her better slap.
On my way home now and this thing is bothering me seriously. Could I be unintentionally preventing my baby from crawling cos I carry her too much? Once she comes back from day care, she is usually at my back while I try to do some chores of if hubby is around, he carries her. This is because of you put her down, she cries so hard and it stresses me out. I always want a little peace and quiet so I just jejely back her and do my thing but now I'm thinking maybe I have done it roo much? Someone said it maybe her weight. She weighted 8.5 at 6months and she is quite chubby so the woman said maybe her weight is too much for her to carry. My mom said it's because she had her teeth come out too early. That children that cut teeth before 5months don't crawl on time. She cut her teeth at 4months and now she is 7months plus. Is there anything I should be doing to help her achieve her crawling milestone faster? I wasn't bothered at first but the too many opinions, especially in church sef is getting to me.

comtem2011:
per sachet, u use 1 liter. may be what u read on the sachet is that " the child must take up to 200ml-400ml within 24 hrs. Not necessary that ur baby must finish the 1 litre but thats the measurement for one sachet.

I used that big eva bottle, I don't know if it's the same brand of ORS sha. Can you include a picture of it maybe mamas who are familiar will help

angeltolly:
Mamas help me with this. This ( picture attached) was sold to us while baby shopping, I have not been using it so I decided to bring it out ( maybe it can be of use one of these days). Only thing I know about it looking at it is feeding bottles are kept in there. Now these are my questions......
- it is meant to keep baby food stay warm or what?
- Can fresh breastmilk be stored there for some hours to feed baby instead of opening clothes everytime while on any outing (like Sunday service)

BTW anybody that knows Tinubu, Fashola, Ambode or anybody that started 6 months maternity leave in Lagos State should Thank him/them for me The person head dey there. God bless him/her/them
