Hi @NoQualms1, I use the Nasopure Baby Comfy Nose and it's really good, here is their website https://www.babycomfycare.com/product/baby-comfy-nose-nasal-aspirator/

I got it from HealthPlus, about 4k something, can't remember the exact price. I also used a humidifier which also seemed to help.

Congrats @sayoberry cheesy cheesy

NoQualms1:
@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.

It depends on some factors.
1. D baby may be reacting to d diaper
2. It's possible u don't change d diaper on time thus d skin reacting to d urine or even poop.
Get sudocrem. It works like magic.

You won't produce enough breastmilk and you might even look lean.

Stop taking milo and milk and watch ur baby's gassiness..my baby often had gas in his tummy whch caused him pains. I tot he was hyper active not knowing he was in pains. I also observed that anytime idnt take milk he was ok.buh once I take it and he sucks, he gets stomach discomfort. I resulted to google and I foundout that cowmilk goes to the breast milk diecctly without the body breaking it down and its too strong for the baby's digestive system hence the gassiness and discomfort.
My sister I had to stop milo and milk. Then I take lots of friuts. My baby poops once a week and ths started snc he was 2 weeksold.
Watch what u eat and observe ur baby. Ur baby will tell u a lot and u will know how to act.
My hubby also bought bonnisan syrup home for him. I use it oncein a while. It makes him extra eat and sleep well after a very hot shower.
Just study ur baby and u will know what she can tolerate and can't. Mother in laws can only tell from past experience. Buhu are d one withur baby and u can tell better..
May God reward our efforts

Also burp ur baby well and put her to sleep on her tummy. Make sure her head is firm on the bed. Trust me u would be more than grateful cos she will sleep well. Then if she makes any sound or wants to cry turn her to her back. She isprobably tired of sleepingon hertummy. Watchher for some time. She might sleep backornot. Then u will know what to do. Sleeping on d tummy also helps reduce gassiness. Evenif urbaby doesn't burp ucan still put heer on her tummy. She will burp while slepping.nva put urbaby on her back if she hasn't burped.
I am a first timemom but my baby has taught me a lot and I am still learning. My mother in law even calls me to tell her what he wants once he starts acting up.
Ask for all d advice u want buh ur baby decides how u implement them.
Pardon my errors. Rocking baby as I am typing

My baby and I had cough early this month. We took neofylin, it worked for me but didn't work for him. So I bought cofflin for him, it s still not working. He doesn't cough often but sometimes, when he breaths, it sounds as if catarrh is in his throat or abi lungs don't know which. Abeg, what could that be?

I was advised here not to take milo and milk because of colic, I did, and I found out the tummy pain reduced. If she is having stomach pains, then you need to stop taking milo and milk or any dairy products.

Pls be sure that the cough mixture you are using is safe for breastfeeding mothers, most are not.

I had cough too early this month but surprisingly, my doctor didn't give me any cough medicine to use and when i expressed my fears of passing it on to my baby, he said it will only build his immunity level. Truly, he got the cough from me but it went on its own after about a week.

Maybe you should let him be for a while but if it persist or get worse, then you will need to see your doctor.

Tnx Sooo much. I have one other funny wahala o, please I unknowingly got used to breastfeeding with my right Breast and now the size of that one is times 2 or 3 the left Breast. It's even obvious when I put on clothes.

I have tried feeding my baby with the left one but it seems milk doesn't come out. How do I get both Breast equal again.
