People that travel to America to deliver don't come back with a baby by road. Please read her question again before advising.


Air is even worse because of the pressure of the cabin. So what's wrong with road travel? Pls enlighten me

P.s the America analogy was with respect to long distance which I assume her concerns was really about

Same situation here. My LO who just turned 6 months looked quite slim, so I introduced other foods. But I found out she reacted to cerelac/aptamil/nan, and so I stopped. I only give her Ogi for now, and so far I have noticed improvements. Scared of boosting d Ogi with crayfish/soybeans/nuts cos of her allergy issues. BTW, she eats adult foods including fruits/vegetables wit no problem. U can try the ogi with other foods. Tho I plan on seeing her paediatrician tomoro.

he is going to 7months and i use johnson head to toe soap for bathing him.

MOTHERS pls respond
Thank uuuuu

Pls stop using that Johnson head to toe for ur baby's hair. That's what iritated my LO's hair. Instead, get a good baby shampoo like Sebamed baby shampoo and wash only once in two weeks at least. Pele

@favoredgal, long distance road travel isn't ADVISABLE for a 6weeks old baby. The potholes, road bumps, sudden brake applications, no restroom, dust et al, doesn't make it advisable. Likewise, travelling by air with a baby younger than 6weeks isn't advisable: change in the air pressure u rightly mentioned can cause damage to the inner ear/ear drums.

black soap is sold by d yoruba herb sellers

I guess its same as dudu osun? That's what I now use for my LO. I'ts downside is that it dries the skin, so u must use a good moisturizer like shea butter/coconut oil/palm kernel oil after every bath. But on the good side, it's less irritating on the skin.

Have really missed a lot.... Mothers pls respond..
My baby is 5 months but she is very slim nd doesn't eat well.she stopped breastfeeding on her own @ 4 months.i ve been giving abidec to no avail,what should I do.she takes cow nd gate rice,aptamil nd pap. Pls suggest food for me to give her.i even tried golden morn this morning which she took few spoons nd stopped.how good is seven seas?

My dear, it is too early to start giving golden morn (not for children below 3 yrs). Have u tried adult foods? Rice, plantain, sweet potatoes, fufu, amala, egg yolk, liver, beef, fish, chicken, boil them very soft and mash. Start with little quantity. And is ur baby slim or thin? Also, continue wit the pap and yes, u can give a good quality cod liver oil.

Sweetest Mamas pls, can change of food for a baby cause skin rashes or cough? My LO was feeding on Lactogen 2 and Friso gold rice based cereal, we travelled this week and the friso got finished. I searched all the shops around but no friso, so I bought cerelac rice and maize after feeding my lo that night and the next day I noticed serious rashes all over his body with severe cough and difficulty in breathing. Pls do u think the change is the cause? And what other good and nutritious cereals and baby food can I buy for my prince. We just started eating 3 weeks ago after EB. Thank u

I guess that was an allergic reaction! shocked Please google CMPA. That was what happened with my LO when I introduced cerelac/nan/aptamil to her. Pleas stop d cerelac at once, and u can go see a paediatrician to recommend for ur baby. And please when introducing a new food, do so earlier in the day, so u can give urself ample time to watch out for any allergic reaction before night time.
U can go back to the Friso if ur baby doesn't react to it, tho its not necessary to give baby cereals. Why not try pap or adult foods? Pele. It is well dear.

P.S. Please, if I were u, I would see a Doc, not meant to scare u, but allergic reactions aren't something to be joked with, especially with the difficulty in breathing.

Wrong, dudu osun is not the same as natural black soap ooo. Dudu is processed garbage that contains lemon can sting and irritate the hell out of adult skin not to talk an infant's skin. On the contrary, natural black soap is not drying at all. I have white friends that i help to buy to treat their children's severe eczema and they use it with their regular lotion.

First boil till its very soft. I prefer using spoon to mash so its not too smooth since my baby doesn't like them too smooth. But. U can use a hand blender, or food processor and puree to the consistency ur baby prefers. U can also add breastmilk/formula/water(boiled) to make it lighter. Yes, u should peel the beans as d peel contain a lot of anti-nutrients that can irritate their young bowel

You can get it from the local abidjanaise people in any big market. They can add pure honey and campwood(osun) if you want. The real black soap should look like this...

please does this black soap help with eczema n all these fungal infections. the last time I took my baby to see the paed she said the spots on his body was a fungal infection n gave me a clotrimazole cream. I actually believed it was the scars left by the alefo he had cos it was really much all over his chests when he was younger n someone told me it will take a while for the scars to go.

unfortunately his skin reacted to the clotrimazole cream so I rather apply abf cream which he tolerates better n also contains same percent of clotrimazole.

sincerely I don't know if the spots are getting better or not. on some days I think they are on others I don't think so.

I've been rubbing the cream now for almost three weeks. if its really fungal infection the thing should be obviously lesser. the more I think they are aleefo scars.

pls mamas that their babies had aleefo: how long does it averagely take for the scars to disappear n d skin color tone out?


I am seriously considering looking for another paed this is the second time her prescription didn't really help n the first time it even made things worse.Na for this thread I got suggestions that helped. maybe it doesn't mean she isn't competent sha. I just don't really look forward to our appointments n many times I go much later cos of my previous experience.

sorry for my long story...pls answer my question. thanks

I know black soap helps fade scars in adults skin so it should work for treating the actual infection and fading the resulting scars gradually. It is definitely worth trying.
Also take into consideration other things like the water you use to bath him, detergent used in washing his clothes and beddings.etc

Nobody said any fin was wrong with road travel. She wants to know if travelling by road to Ghana with a 6 week old baby is safe and you said yes she can, that women who go to America to deliver travel at 5 weeks.
That is by air biko.
The pressure of the cabin can't be compared to the dangers and stress that baby will be exposed to if taken by road, especially if the baby is yet to be immunised.
An adult who travels by road develops body ache, talk less of a neonate.
