@cancerlib, it's normal. they poop a lot at that age. Don't worry, you will still be the one to complain that baby has not pooped for days later.

@ hajarahbadmus, I use avent Phillips manual pump. Got it for N8,500.

@new mums, congrats. I know Sayoberry from pregnancy thread. I'm so glad to know you've delivered. Welcome to the vigilante club.

Mamas, where can I get mucus extractor in Lagos? My baby has been battling with catarrh for more than a month, the medicine doc gave us didn't work.

Also, how will one know a baby that will become Dada (have natural dreadlocks)? Thanks.

They go through diaper a lot at this stage... Cuz they poop after every feed. It will soon pass. The walmart / SAMs club brand are not as good but for the stage you are in where you changed often it doesn't really matter. But if you are shipping to Naija I will advice you mix with Huggies or pampers especially at the size 3 stage.

Welldone eh. I can't imagine how it is with twins. One was quite the handfull

tchiwinnie:
Cereals ll b frm 4months so try and wait till 4months. There s also dis cloth diaper pple hv talked of, its washable and reusable. Heard its econonical.
its only economical when you have a washing machine. I've USD it several times and I tell you, u don't wanna wash poop off that cloth. U will wash and wash and wash.

TX for the replies. Are there foods I should avoid eating? MIL said not to drink milo n milk, nt to eat okro, veg oil, orange etc.
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by Nita2013: 8:32am On Mar 24, 2015
Uwc dear. Well for me, I ate all those u mentioned apart from orange. But I ll say stay away from sugary things. Milo and milk helped in d production of my breastmilk.

Sori, I can imagine wat d boy is goin thru. Pls continue d tea and cereal if dat is wat the baby tolerates, and ensure u give water or any oda fluid to kip him well hydrated. Give paracetamol for d fever, get vitamin c and give oranges too. If the fever is much pls take him to d hosp asap

@ Noqualms,u can get mucus extractor from where they sell baby things.Personally I don't believe in dada.People dat know about it will answer u ok.

@ mytestimony,no need to panick over d gas.My babys own was very scary to d extend dat I hv to complian to his peadiatrician but was told to alwz bub him after every feed.It was not easy for me seeing him in pain but blv me I didn't give him anything and it finally stopped after 3months.Other mamas can still tell u wat they give that worked for them.there is no cause to panic.This stage will soon pass.Thank u

how? what are the consequences? because sometimes when the weather is really hot (& my son sweats a lot), I give him a shower and he really seems to enjoy it. when he poops now sef, I use cold water with soap to clean him up. only use wipes when we go out.

he's a big boy now, may not be pooping after every feed again so its normal as long as he's not constipated or showing signs of discomfort. system differs. mine too dint do excessive pooping after d initial few wks several-times-a-day poop.
