I'm so happy for you. I understand how scared you must have been. When my baby had it at 3 weeks, I was sooo freaked out. Happy your kid is fine now. You can give it another week...just to be triple sure the torn membrane in the ear has 99%healed up. God bless![/quote

Amen okay ma thanks nd regards 2 ur kids

Mastitis is what you have...it happened to me when my LO was 2 weeks old. rub some olive oil on your tips and leave on for 10_ 15mins before washing off. You can take pain killers to deal with the temperature and pain but you will have to go and see your doctor for antibiotics. It is caused by accumulation of br east milk and your LO not sucking it out...so breas tfeed that pikin well well o.

Madam! You get mind o! Someone you dont know from Adam, all because she is elderly and sells agbo, diagnosed and prescribed 'drugs'....your landlord came and said some mumbo jumbo....and you jumped to give your little baby.....hmmmmmmmmmm!!!!! Haba!!!

Not all babies are meant to be big! My son is the smallest kid in his class....but he is hitting his milestones. My son has always been a small baby. He never had all those folds that babies have. Our family friends have a daughter, dhe is about 3 weeks older than my daughter, my daughter is much bigger than her.....but this girl is qlready ssying BYE with her mouth and hands. She is just a little over 9 months.

It's only in Nigeria people make a fuss about big babies. People made me feel so bad back in naija. It got to a point where I didnt even want to go out or wear fine clothes out, cos you get people looking at you as if you are spending money on yourself and not feeding your kid. My son was on Enfamil and imported cereals....different varieties....there was no mising of money.

Long and short....you are putting your kid in harm's way. I really want to know the outcome of this experiment you are performing on your live kid. Pls let us know if he magically adds weight. Hopefully, it is not mawu mawu you are giving the poor kid. So vexed!

Chai meehn, if ur soo vexd lyk dis abt d agbo stuff, n d child is evn 8mths... Hmm wat wud u say abt mine who is 2mths+, whom "they" said I shud giv agbo 2.

@rezzy, 5.6kg is below d normal weight for a 7month old. Abeg stop d agbo. Its not good at all for dat delicate kidney. Pls and pls tk dat child to a good hospital for proper evaluation. Na u kno wot u suffer during labor, push dat baby out so dont allow pressure frm anybody to mk u do wot s wrong, abeg. How re his milestones? Is he sitting yet? Crawling? Wot does he eat currently?

He is crawling, holding things to stand up. Just this evening, he stood without support for 1 mins.

He takes pap and my boy formula. He also takes adult food but in small quantity.

Ok then, good to kno he s achieving milestones. Thats real good news. Still he needs to put on more weight. Does he struggle while eating or eats easily?Is his pap well fortified?Any frequent stooling? There s this thing we usu gv malnourished babies-plumply nuts. In all, he needs to b seen by a dr so dat serial weighing ll b done and progress monitored.

That 'baby must not belch on your breast' thing is one of the many ridiculous myths in Yoruba land. What you describe sounds like Mastitis. Read the link below.

The baby is even achieving his milestones sef. Good boy! Why dont you try changing his formula, if you can afford it. Or see a doctor to confirm if an appetite stimulant can help.

How much is Myboy?

He doesn't struggle [except when he was teething] but if I try giving him his food every 2 hours, he won't collect until his tummy is empty.

Just pap with milk. Sometimes, I add a pinch of glucose.

Immediately after each feed. (4 - 5 times a day)- He poos watery poo.

Thanks

I just changed from cerelac and NaN to pap and myboy because he refused it.

I was tired of preparing his food and later throwing it away. So last Monday I tried that semo stuff one mama talked about. He took it well but I don't like the smell, so Thursday, I switched to pap.

Myboy is #1,100k.

Thanks

My son is, and has always been borderline mimum weight for his age group. Here are the few things I did when he was younger

1. Calorie counting - I worked out exactly how many calories he needed per day, then I created a meal plan. I put an extra scoop of milk in each of his bottles. This was when he was above 7mths, not younger.This helped him meet up with the required oz of milk he needed per day. I also fed him fatty foods like titus fish, checked the labels of cereals or purees I buy, so as to pick the one with the highest fat content, and also gave Quaker Oats which has a high fat content, according to the label. I pureed avocado pear, as it has a high fat content, then mixed with bananas, which are also known for their high fat content.

2. I fed him all through the day. I realised feeding him bits all through the day, was better than normal feeding cycles.

3. Fight! Yeap! I used to pull my clothes, pull his clothes off, hold him down tight across my body, then feed him his cereal with spoon. It was a battle 3x a day. But na straight to bathroom afterwards lol.

What was his weight at birth?

He is pooing after every feed? That's not normal. Stooling is a very easy way to lose weight. There has to be an underlying cause. Have you told the doc he poos this many times in a day?

Pap wont do anything. Pap is majorly water. That's why they even advise b.feeding mums to take it.

I am back again o.

my baby woke up to feed only to realise his temp was high 38.8. I also noticed he has catarrh abi blocked nose. I used pcm.nocof drop n vit c. I doubt its malaria cos there s almost none in our room n can't remember any biting him recently though we are considering treating him for that in d morning just to rule it out.

I'm just wondering if its teething. he is five months. for the past three days he has pooed once or max of twice per day. its more watery n a little greenish. I didn't worry about it cos his paed told me to expect greenish poop around t4-6 months. plus he drools a lot n wants to chew on everything esp pples fingers. just looked it up online now n they said these can b symptoms of teething. pls how does one really know d. baby is teething

I've also heard teething rings help pls can anyone upload a pic of one.don't av an idea wat it looks like. I av pacifiers though. do they serve same purpose.

thanks

Pooling all d time reduces baby weight. u ll av 2 change his milk 2 anoda he ll tolerate. He is 8mths, I don't tink only pap is OK 4 his age. Just c ur doc n complain sha. Pele dear, God ll crown all ur efforts on him

Catarrh can cause high temp in babies. Take him to d doc and get him tested for malria too.

That was the same thing my 9ja folks told me when I developed mastitis. I reported to my paed and he almost peed his pants with laughter. Actually, it has nothing to do with the baby belching on your breast.

Did he refuse cerelac in his bottle? Personally I don't believe pap has much fat content and it isn't really fortified to help your son gain weight.

My first was small too despite being on formula from 2 weeks. He was 3.5kg at birth at 3 months old he was still 3.9kg. These oyinbo people were doing weight control for him twice a month but weren't telling me what to do to make him eat. I started giving him cereal in his bottle from 3 months and within a month he gained an extra 1 kg.

I would melt butter or cheese his pureed food and cook pasta with titus fish and extra cheese. Pasta is even more fattening than amala and ewedu. Mash plantain or potatoes with fish and butter also give him juice diluted with water instead of plain water.... Adding to what @bossladymo1 said. Goodluck and don't let anyone make you feel inadequate as a mother.
