Hello mamas, how are your little ones.

Took my baby for ten weeks immunisation on wed. he took penta 2 on his thigh.I noticed the spot is very hard and darker than the surrounding skin. I didn't rub it after he was given though hr bled a little and it was cleaned.
pls what do I do? I have gotten different advices. some say just apply ori, another a cold compress and massage others that I should do nothing.

what I have done so far is apply towel soaked in cold water and then light massage with ori or mentholatum. am I doing it right? pls I need advice esp from mamas that have experienced this with this penta.
Do nothing, stop d massage, and cold compress. It ll go down.

So this morning I found put that my boy.. And maybe girl is constipated. DS pop was so hard I could not believe it came out from a 7 weeks old baby and DD has not pooed in 5days.
Plsd what do I do to make her poop and make ogas poo soft.

is your son taking formular or its ebf. if u are breastfeeding try eating lots of veggies n fruits. it helps and has impact on baby poo. constipation is common wit babies fed with formula. if u are using formula increase the water content n also give them plenty water to drink

Pls do not massage it no matter how lightly. It will become soft on its own. When my son took d penta, same thing happened but I just left it like that and everything was ok. I kno some pple apply ori but even if just apply it annd there should be no form of massage. Pele he ll be fine


thanks o. I will stop. its killing to do nothing n just dey look . Lol.guess I just want to b sure I am handling it well if I was supposed to do smt. how long does it averagely take to go down?

sorry madam, try taking plenty oranges, I once had same experience, I ended up taking so many oranges because I wanted d poo to be soft on time, at d end my baby's poo became so soft and watery, so I had to adjust d oranges I took, just take an average number of oranges ,don't take too much, d poo will soften.

bossladyMo:


Abegiiii. What you described is normal. Don't medicate her. The frequency will reduce as she grows older. If it's mucusy, reduce your sugar. If it appears green, it means she is not getting enough of the hind milk, and getting just the foremilk....so let her stay longer on each breast, so she can get the richer hindmilk.

Those are the 2 common poo types that breastfed babies get.

Thanks Sis! I had to ask here cuz if I just take her to hospital,I know they will just collect money and give me paracetamol without telling me it's normal undecided

I started wearing mine 3 days postpartum and by the 5th week my tummy was almost flat. You have to be committed to wearing it day and night that was why I adviced to get something that is comfortable and won't give you a sore skin.
What's that I'm interested. My tummy is very big

The function is in 2 weeks.

The function is in 2 weeks.

20kg in 2 weeks is not only unrealistic, it is also unhealthy. go and buy a waist cincher for the event.

my advice will be to start a lifestyle change today working towards a longer term goal

exercise 4/5 times a week, if you cant go to a gym, buy work out DVDs on konga,or even a skipping rope and start there. cook your own meals and avoid eating out, eat a lot of beans, sweet potatoes with ugwu, unriple plantain with ugwu, boiled egg whites, salads, moin moin, wheat bread, etc

stay away from indomie, white rice, white bread and the likes

most importantly, remember it took you 9 months to put the weight on, you canot lose it in 2 weeks so give yourself time and trust the proces

this is what worked for me, i'v lost 10kg alone this year and as my daughter turns one year soon, i am happy and confident that i am already back to my pre pregnancy weight

He he he! Yesooo. Many mothers make that mistake. In fact, I used to wash my son's hair 2x a day. By the time he was 4m, it was so dry...but luckily we cut it off at a year...as per baby boy.

Get a conditioner instead. I started conditioning my daughter's hair from 3weeks. And before then I only washed it with shampoo once ( apart from the hospital bathing by the nurses). Her hair is so deep curled and springy...over shrinkage dey worry am sef lol.

Does that mean i should only clean the hair with water daily or i shouldnt clean it at all?
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by motajike: 7:11pm On Apr 27, 2015
Same thing happened to me when my son was about 3/4 months old. I noticed he wasn't getting that round pot belly after eating and i tried to pump but what i got from both breasts was what i wld get from one breast after pumping for 5mins so i was forced to buy formula sma gold to be specific then i worked on myself ..hot tea, amala, hot pap, etc. I gave him the milk for 3 meals and my milk flow returned to normal.
rezzy:
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
