Yea. Its normal for a blister to form. Just apply shea butter on it, and don't pop the blister yourself.

Stay away from any quick fix. Take d advice from favouredgal. Stop looking for shortcuts, that's what get women into health problems. Learn to love your body, embrace your new body. Take the weightloss step by step ad be consistent. I know a natural cleanser( just fruitsand veg) you can use but u are still nursing ur baby. So cut down on ur food intake. Eat in portions, cut down on carbs. Do more protein.

I refused to try the bitter kola but I tried infacol, gripe water and Nospamin but non worked. The stomach pain eventually passed with time. Cuddling worked for me sha, my lo was always sleeping on my tommy. It wasn't comfortable but that was the only way I could soothe her, so I can also sleep. It's not easy oh, at times I cried with her.

Which dust and dirt does a baby want to have...when they are not rolling in sand everyday, or working themselves up like adults. Even as an adult, you can't tell me your hair gets dirty everyday...most if thee time, its d residue from oils and ointments.

Were they rubbing her head no? undecided

I only recently relocated out of Naija, so it's not like I'm talking out of a foreigner's point of view.

It's not too early. I know a baby that has been taking formula (Enfamil) from birth. There's no harm in supplementing with formula since your LO eats a lot. Except your hubby wants lo to starve.
But are you lactating well? It's possible your lo isn't getting enough BM

Enfamil, Aptamil, Similac, Cow n gate etc are all imported and r gud. Likewise NAN, and d likes.....guess it all depends on ur purse.
And yes u have to gv water once u start formula-feeding to avoid constipation

those things are not good for babies. it is a phase! it will pass latest by 3 months, what you can do in the interim is to burp very well after each meal, put him/her on the tummy supervised cuz of SID, use anticolic bottles if you are using bottles, hold the legs up in a bicycle motion

Enfamil is the closest formula to mature breast milk though it's expensive. There are less expensive ones like SMA and Nan 1, it depends on the one your baby will accept. My daughter is 2 months and she's enjoying Enfamil even though she still comes to my bust after taking 2 oz of enfamil. Mae sure your lo takes water after the formula to avoid constipation.
