judii: @ all, my baby is 5months old and she poos 4 to 5 times daily on d average. I know its not normal but don't know what 2 do as d poo is not watery (she's not purging). I buy a pack of huggies and the maximum it lasts is about 2weeks as I have 2 change her like 4 to 5 times, though most times the poo is usually very little after the early morning one. I spend an average of 8 thousand naira on Huggies every month o! Pls help me with suggestions as to what to do.

Does she show intrest when you are eating? If she does, try feeding her what you are eating, while you are eating (google baby led weaning).
My 5months old has suddenly stopped bosom feeding & screams when I try to bosomfeed her. She only wants 2 drink water even at night! undecided

@juli. sory for the stress U'r going thru sounds lik U did exclusive lik me. my boy frownd his face at water as if I added venega ooo. I jst waitd again til d weda was hot and instead of breastmilk I gav him water, he had no choice but tuk litle, somtims I made it very lukwarm to know if he will take it nd anytim I try to giv him I always say "wata wata". Now if he hears wata he wil grab the cup, lean forward and open his mouth!

Did she throw up at d can food too? did U try pap? I think her tommy wil tolerate it as she threw up at adult food. Mine didnt even open his mouth for the rice cereal,cerelac, at 6mnths but I forced d food inside ooo, provided him no vomit!lol, until he got used to the taste. I pray she starts eating normaly soon! All the best ooo

@ Jade, thanks a lot. I will go get the tribotan cream u suggested . I think I would consider getting cheaper diapers 4 now until d poo gets 2 d normal once in a day poo. I feed my baby rice cereal (cerelac). Don't know if this has anything 2do with d poo, though I started introducing that not too long ago as advised by some1 so she doesn't end up refusing it when she's six months old. Its d foreign one (made in spain). Pls, can u tell me if this has any negative effect on children? Somebody was saying its better 2feed them the Naija cereal but I really don't know if its true.

I'm so so so sorry.Geeez.One,i hope he's not teethin.2:I used seven seas.If it made him poo,reduce d quantity u giv frm 5mls to 2mls once or twice dly.Walai,my baby didn't lik it so i add it 2her pap&sh'l tak it.Pls lets do it dis way.Don't add crayfish or milk to his pap til d consistency of d stool returns 2normal then u can skip d crayfish part.My baby didn't lik d taste of d crayfish in d pap so i stopped addin it.Do u cook ur pap afta addin hot water?Dr said d cerelac purged my baby cos i was packin 2much milk in2 it&cerelac already contains milk.Well that may b true but i just didn't bother givin her again.C if he'l tak ORT.If d stoolin is stil there,try givin flagyl 2.5mls 3xs a day.Hospital wil just tel u 2do ORT dat it'l stop dat stoolin is normal in kids.I'v bn there,done dat.U can use soyabeans 2substitute 4d crayfish cos its highly proteinous too.Don't use 2much milk ok?But stop milk 4now cos dat one wil keep worstenin d stoolin.

My dear,cerelac hammered my baby's system cos sh's not d type dat purges.Rather sh constipates but cerelac&frisocreamOMG.I started givin my baby pap at 5mths +.Sh was takin it wit breastmilk alone&was fyn then frm 6/7mths,i tried other thngs.As a mother,follow ur instinct cos drs most tyms ar ignorant.My baby had teethin rash,i took her 2d hospital&d paediatrician prescribed loratydyne whch we bought.On readin d pack,i learnt ita 2b given to children frm 2yrs&above so i didn't giv but wen d teeth cam out,it disappeared.I didn't even rub her any cream cos my instinct just told me 2watch&c.U knw ur baby betta than anyone even ur husbnd so weneva u notice anythng,u isolate dat thng lik u just introduced cerelac&ur baby"s stool consistency changed so u stop it&allow her system 4a while then try somthng else lik nutrend,cow&gate&so on.Abeg don't buy Nigerian cerelac.U'l b angry wen u open it.As 4diaper,ppl were tellin me dat som diapers cause baby rash&other nonsense so i told them,let me try&my dear,al d different varieties i'v used,non gav me problem.Som leak though so i don't go back 2get those ones.Goodluck dearo
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by itsmelex(f): 2:48am On Jun 22, 2013
Thanks for d reply Jade. Indeed drs can be ignoraant at times. When I noticed the stooling I STOPED evryoda thing immediatly only d 3cereals he was used to. I dnt add milk to the cerelac oh, wish I could anyway.lol.

Pls do pap go bad?(dnt laugh at me oooo.lol)
Der was no lit for about 24hrs nd I didnt put my gen on then, when I went to change the pap water I notice it was making litle funny noise, I washed d surface and made it for mysef, it was ok and then I made for baby ooo(dnt knw if that was the big mistake) and gav him twice nd d nxt day the pooing started. Yes I cook d pap after adding wata, mum said to do it dat way so that baby doesnt purge, but added the crayfish wen I want to serve. I thnk he liked the crayfish bcause when I made it with potatoes he joyfully ate it. Dont even know again joor!

As I stoped evrytin he pooed jst once today but startd coughing this morning and we stil went to see the ped. No temp at all. Didnt even think of teeth oooo( cause the two coming out from below never even stand well.lol). Doc said seven seas was good but now has fakes but forgot the name of a better one. imagine that!!!! I was like WAT?! Am I the one to remember?
I will try putting it in his pap the way U said but I realy need courage to try pap again. will try d bcomplex too.

Questions:
How do I remove the water completely from pap so its strong lik the ones in the market I use to know?
How do I preserve pap after making it from scratch(freezer idea)
what does zinc do in babies(will google this tho)
can I add soyaplus in cerelac?

Thanks greatly mums!

@itsmelex to $make ur pap strong, wat I do is this _ after seiving d grounded mixture of millet it will settle down nd d water will be up, after pouring d water away, dat which has settled down,I used one of M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ ankara headtie dat I don't use again(U̶̲̥̅̊ can get a piece of cloth dat is not too light or transparent such dat only water can pass thru it). I get a rubber then tie d ankara on d rubber using a piece of anoda cloth to tie d ankara round(hope U̶̲̥̅̊ get it). I then pour d settled pap into the ankara then d water goes down nd d ogi becomes strong. I get some small nylon bags nd tie d pap nd put them in d freezer. Put some in a plate or small rubber and put water which I change (d water) frequently, dis can stay in d fridge apartment. So when one is finished I bring out another. Hope this help

Sorry dear, I remember last month, my baby passed out faeces more than 4 times a day and she is 8months, my MIL says it was teething, but believe you, irrespective of whatever may be the cause, the first thing to look for is a solution to stop the poo, even as adult, using the toilet 4 times a day can affect one. I had to call my brother( who is also my doctor) immediately and he prescribed augmentin and flagyl, and it stopped the second day. Lo and behold, my baby that has been moody before started playing again.
Meanwhile, you can still buy those cheap diapers pending the time the poo will stop.

Please throw away any cough syrup or expoctorant you have. It causes future problems for the child. I am battling with asthma like symptoms in my toddler cos of all the expectorants he has taken. In fact, i have stopped all multivite and stuff. Just Ventolin for now.

My dear, I didn't wait to be told before I stopped giving my kids any cough syrup.
I read an article where a pediatrician advised against cough syrups and co for children.
What I do instead is give steam baths and use mentholatum or silverbird mixed with shea butter for them when they catch a cold.

Welcome to first weeks for motherhood. I personally didnt face much wahala with my daughter cause my sweetest mother was around for like 3 months, mine was to just breastfeed and go back to sleep. But my dear, please forget about sleeping drugs o, abeg, no drug your baby o, she will adjust over time, just get someone around, your mum or MIL to stay with you during this period so you can be able to rest well to fully recover from delivery.

Come to think of it, resuming work 5 weeks after delivery to me is too fast o

It's part of motherhood experience smiley You need not to worry cos this situation will not last forever. Your baby will adjust after some time.
I had the same experience with my 2nd baby and I was worried as well during the period. My mother told me not to worry that she will soon adjust which later happened.
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by sexyshe(f): 6:31pm On Jun 25, 2013

@blank, i understand expectorant are not good for babies. i v only used neofylin for my baby and only for a week and i used more of mentholatum and hot massage for my daughter as well as silverbird.i threw the rest away. ventolin i understand, is for young children with asthma. it is well with ur baby.
