My daughter has not poo pooed for 3 days now. She's struggling and trying hard to bring it out but it's not coming. Aside inserting soap in her anus, what else can I do please?

Place her on fruit fast...dat is make her eat lots if fruits especially oranges and bananas. Stop carbohydrates for now.

And then does she drink enough water? If not, give her lots of water alongside the fruits....hope this helps. Subsequently let her drink enough water with meals.

Thanks a lot. But she is 6 weeks old, is it advisable to give fruits? She's on EBF

She is six weeks right. You might wanna change your diet. Eat lots of fruit and let's see how it goes. You can also try "hot" water massage. Use your elbow to check the temprature if its too hot for ur elbow then its too hot for baby.

If she is on exclusive, then you need to watch your diet. Take more fruits, vegetables and proteinous foods.

The bicycle excercise also works for me.

Lie her on her back, then lift both legs up and move both legs in a cyclical manner like she is riding a bicycle.

Pls is there anybody here, or if u know any1 who who has used nd is still using children hosp on 4th Avenue, festac town?
I want to register my lo nd will like to know how good they are.
Tnx all for ur responses as usual.

Someone that uses their branch at Ijesha area said the hospital is good. Though I also learnt the mother and child hospital at first gate is good too.

Hi mamas,

My baby has refused to take pap o even when I add many spoons of milk. Some one said I should add honey to his pap. Is that safe for him? . His is 4mths 2 weeks.

I planned buying cerelac for him today. I pray he does not reject it.

Can a 4month old baby take Cerelac? I'm currently giving my baby Heinz cereal for 4+ months. I've always thought cerelac and co are for 6 months old and above.

ladyverere:
I am a single too to an adorable 5 month old princess. I thank God I didn't bow to the pressure of having an abortion. That said, I started my little girl on pap aka akamu @ age 2 months (I mixed guinea corn and yellow corn) with milk depending on how many oz in the feeder and she did very well with it. I used Nan. Will start mashed local food when she is 6 months old. She already has her first two teeth.

Feeding pap to a 2 month old? Hian!

God truly watches over the little ones!!!

Yes, I didn't know too. I sent dh to help me buy it, he bought from 6 months, I was very angry with him that he doesn't know how to buy something. Now, don't even know how to tell him that cerelac doesn't have from 4 months.

May be I should just wait till he is 6months.

Greetings mom, pls I nid clarificatn. I use cow and gate cereals for my 5monthd baby along with nan. My baby hates d nan, but manages d cereal.
Wat oda milk cn I use?
Secondly the poo is kind of greenish, watery and a bit slimy, up to 3tyms a day. Pls is it an alergy from d nan or d cereals or is it teething. I'm confused oo

Alright, tnx a million!

@Kimoni, Lovinam and bossladymo thank you kindly. I will work on my diet, am already doing the bicycle kicks for her and also giving her the warm bath.Thanks again, am grateful.

Lol I can imagine ur dh look Hahahahaha. Pls just wait till 6months. I gave my son cereals suitable for 4months old and included cerelac after he turned 6months.

U can try SMA or SMA gold if he is not takin d NAN.
My son's poop has been greenish and seedy but not watery though. But he poops like twice or thrice a day. His poop changed to green since I started supplementing. I even took him to see a paediatrician who saw d poop and said it's perfectly normal.

I think u should look at d poop closely to see if it's seedy as well cos seedy poop is associated with teething. While greenish poop is associated with d iron content in d milk.

A LETTER TO MUMS

Disposable nappies are getting very expensive. Why not get these reusable, washable super-absorbentand comfortable cloth nappies /diapers, which are also called modern cloth nappies (MCNs) or pocket nappies, for your baby For the cost of buying disposablenappies, these reusable nappies and inserts will last you for a much longer period of time. They are economical and environmental-friendly. We have diapers to fit all of your needs -

-- Green environmental protection for your baby and your planet. Our products are lightweight, high performance and easy to use.

How To Use ?
Wash before first use. Please wash colours separately
It usually will take a few washes to reach its full absorbency (could be 6 washes or more)
Place the insert inside the nappy through the open pocket in the back
Liquid will be absorbed through the inner layer of the nappy to the insert
More than one insert may be needed when sleeping or when necessary
Nappy should be changed every 2-3 hours, and when damp, to prevent nappy rash

How To Wash
Remove and rinse off the residuals (knock solids into toilet), then store in dry pail;
Machine wash (no hotter than 35oC), cold rinse;
Hang them up to dry in the sun (sunlight helps bleach the nappies to remove any remaining stains), or "Low" tumble dry;

Thank you

U can try making ur own rice cereal and oat cereal (suitable from 4months) and give to her. It will save u cash and last longer. U can also add pap to her meal but introduce a new food weekly so as to watch out for any reactions.

When I started with d pack of Heinz rice, my son finished it in 3 feeds (he has large appetite though) but makin my own saved me aa whole lot of cash

Is it a must for every mother to exclusive breast feed? Do you know her condition?
