Pls mamas,

You know I have been complaining about my baby not eating well.
So yesterday traveled to my village, he didn't suck BM through out the journey. At night, he didn't suck. If I try to give him, he will start shouting and stretching.

Even this morning, he refused to collect. I was asked to pump it to his feeder, mehn, no milk came out in 1 breeast, I tried the other, just little quantity.
It's over 24 hours since he sucked last yet my breeast is not heavy and is not even paining.

Solution please. Thanks

It's obvious you are not lactating well. Take hot pap, it will really help.

My lactation consultant said if you are stress, not hydrated all the time or not eat well then you won't produce enough breast milk for your baby. You should drink a glass water, juice, pap or tea every one hour to stay hydrated. These are the things that work for me and now I pump up to 200 ml from both breast at once. You could try it

If you can get a trusted nanny, it's better.

In creche where they have many babies, your baby won't be taken care of properly especially if she is the cry cry type, they will just abandon her to cry.



hence i always look for "professionally"creche, if its not one nanny to two children...NO No for me


for me trust is relative, if i cant leave a nanny with my AtM and pin and trust she wont defraud me, i will NEVER leave her alone with my child, because my child is more precious than my bank balance..

Wonderfl mama, 1st of all, relax . For d leg, just dont worry, it ll go down wt tym. My baby's own took up to 1wk or more b4 it completely went down. U dont need to apply anything. For d restlessness, u cld gv pcm if u feel he s in pain, bt it may nt b necessary for more dan 24hrs. Abt d part of his head going up and down(lol), mama relax inu? its completely normal. It ll b closing small small as he develops till it finally closes at abt 9-18months. Bt mama, e good as u come ask ur questions here. Jisike, u re doing a great job.

I went to 5 different creche in Ikeja yesterday and I didn't see any with 1 nanny to 2 children. The closest I got was 1 nanny to 3 children and there were only 6 children in the creche with 2 nannies. However, i was told they were expecting 3 more infants aged 3 months, while mine will make them 4. When I asked how they'd do it with just the two nannies I saw there, the proprietress replied that she'd hire more hands.

Do a pregnancy test...you might be pregnant. Pregnancy hormones affect the taste of breastmilk...which forces most babies to stop breastfeeding.

My baby groaning and stretching while breastfeeding, was th le first signs of pregnancy for me.

Wow, na wa o. May God help us. I started using funbactA 3days ago and I think its improving.
As for d head i was adviced to stop using baby oil and use shea butter instead, I find d butter too thick tho and I hate coconut oil smell so I opted for olive oil. I'll chck online if jojoba oil is safe for babies.
Tx for this.

Funbact-A is never a good idea. I can almost guarantee you will not like the result on your baby's skin.

Who prescribed it for you? Sorry, but that was a very baf idea.

Get a waist cincher instead. Postpartum belts are not that effective and a lace up corset is tedious and uncomfortable, from my experience.

Thanks, The place is very clean and the kids I saw there looked very happy and relaxed. Though they seem to be too attached to the nannies. The response I got to that was that they've been with them since they were 3 months hence the attachment.

3:1 is not bad esp if they have a supervisor. The professional ones are easier to find on the island (I think) cuz when I was looking I saw a lot of 2:1, I even saw some 1:1 and I can't remember seeing anyone that did not have cctv
