Calm down abeg why getting scared have I said it's something terrible?

Babies get lots of skin issues that look alike, seeing your doctor who will check him and probably run tests is your best bet in getting an accurate diagnosis .

Whatever it may be it definitely has a remedy! Let your doctor be the one to tell you, I can only speculate cos it looked like what my son had and doctor said it's a viral skin infection which antibiotics and topical ointment took care of.


Geez calm down mama.....
All you had to say was this since oh.....

It looks like but make sure u see your doctor.....

Pls don't be angry....
Have a lot of over sabi well meaning mothers who are always offering this or that and a MIL who is always fighting me at every turn wanting to give my baby this or that n making me feel like it's my fault stuff happens cos I refuse to listen.....

This stuff has been called different names n different pics painted....

No you didn't say anything bad

Sorry just wanted to calm down before the long wait to see the doctor....

Oh and I don't know if babies get a lot of skin issues am a FTM
Thanks anyway

Congrats teamie.Set ur mind at ease.These will surely be diff and smooth for you.God got ur back sis.
Jaygrl:
cry I had DS April 21st 2017,he is 1yr2months+ via ELCS. Dear Hubby and I played very rough play on our birth days in June,I wasn't even thinking. I was really sick on Friday and the doctor asked my last menstrual period(LMP) that was when I even realized my period was late. That is how I did a PT on Saturday and it turned out positive.

Choi!!! I am still trying to get a new nanny for my son and all that. I stopped breastfeeding him 3weeks ago,I just wanted to have myself and my body back and kpakam!! another baby on the way.

When I was pregnant for DS I was in and out of hospital as my first scan showed I had fibroids and the fibroid started to degenerate around the second trimester,I was always in pain. So now I am thinking,if this has to happen again how will DH cope with DS when I am on admission in the hospital.

I know God is going to perfect all that concerns me and this pregnancy. Let me go and mark present in pregnancy thread.
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by Ubiero(f): 10:00am On Jul 16, 2018
Dear Mamas,

How long does it take for the navel to close completely after the umbilical cord falls off because my grandma said the hole should have closed by now.

Also, yesterday I noticed my baby was very fussy and uncomfortable. I reasoned that it could be because he tried to stool but only a tiny speck of stool stained his pampers. So I asked my grandma to help me use the peppersoup spice and coconut oil to help him pass out the stool which he did. Later in the evening before his bathe, I saw he had passed out the same stain of stool and I asked her to repeat it seeing that he was uncomfortable. She did again and he passed out stool. Till now, he still has not passed out stool even though he has stained his pampers twice with the stain of stool.

He has been stooling with ease. I don't know what could be the problem. I know sometimes most babies don't stool for a while. The problem is he actually wants to stool and makes the grunting noise when he tries but nothing comes out.

Please help me out.

Just as Liftedhands said, kindly stop the sudocream, his skin I can see is open, it might cause further irritatation if you continue with it. Dont use medicated powder too. Stop using spunch and soap for now as well. Best powder is just the normal white powder. Hw is reacting to something or you over cover him.

Let him get some fresh air, wear him cloth acording to the weather. See a doctor as advised fast.

What soap and cream do you use for him?

Wish him well.

Thanks mama. I use Cussons soap and coconut oil on him. He had catarrh at a time and I covered him very well that period. It was after then I started seeing it. Thanks

You don't have to give him peppersoup cheesy anytime he wants to poop. As long as the poop is not strong, let him strain, he's just learning and getting used to it, and would still poop without your help if you let him.

As for navel, I can't remember how long before it actually closed up but if your baby is older than a month then maybe you should see a doctor

Hmm after giving birth to my son who is 21 months old I have been experiencing pain on my right wrist.

Please and please. I beg you in the name of God take your son to the hospital. Something like this is happening and you are still using sudocream. This boy skin is obviously open. Haba, Biko carry him to hospital first thing tomorrow morning.

And I also noticed we over dressed our children in Nigeria, please don’t over dress him. Wear cloth according to the weather.

Let doctor give you prescription on what to use for your son

Thanks. The skin is not open.

Thank you.

I noticed that if I lay him on his tummy, he will cry until you put him on his back but once the stool comes out, he is comfortable with any position you lay him. The discomfort lasts as long as 8 hours and will not be able to nap or sleep until the stool has come out.
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by hunniesuzie: 11:33am On Jul 16, 2018
How old is your LO? Is he exclusively fed? If not do you give water?
I don't understand the bolded. Please search colic on this thread, if that's what is wrong with your baby then helping him pass stool is not a solution, please don't do it again. Bicycle kicks and laying him on his stomach when he's awake will help until the colic passes

My opening statement wasn't meant to be an affront but an assurance! Didn't realise that asking you to calm down and not assume the worst was offensive.

My doctor didn't tell me the name of what my son had he just said viral infection and gave medication.

Now if I had told you with certainty that your baby is having the same ish my son had and your doctor says otherwise how will that make me look? Even if it's the same what harm would there be to still see your doctor and get proper medication?


I'll assume you are stressed and won't take offence at your misinterpretation of my comment.

I pray good health and healing upon your baby, feel free to share his diagnosis cos I'd like to know what it's called.
Shalom.

check pharmacies like medplus or healthplus, you will get from there.

A lot of mothers attest to fenugreek being able to boost breast.milk production hence its use.

You can make your own if you buy the seeds.

How To Make Fenugreek Tea

Making the tea is simple. You just need a few fenugreek seeds. Follow the procedure given below:

1. Crush the seeds in a pestle or mortar.
2. Boil water in a kettle. Pour it into a teapot or a container.
3. Add the crushed fenugreek seeds. You can also add other herbs and loose tea leaves.
4. Cover and steep the seeds for about 3 minutes.
5. Strain through a tea strainer into a cup or another container.
6. You can also sweeten with honey or stevia if you want.
7. Drink the tea hot or cold. #copied
