It doesn't matter how old they start, it's what they learn and in what environment. My nephews go to one expensive (N1mil per annum for both boys) Montessori and the only good thing I see is that at least it's a safe environment and they keep the kids happy there, but half of the kids sounded like Fulbright Scholars and the other half sounded like they spent a looootttt of time with their uneducated nannies at home watching AfricaMagic. Meanwhile another cousin whose kids go to school (N450, 000 per annum) sound just as smart as the first group. Each child progresses according to the PARENT (who is the one that has the time to sit with the kids, go through homework together with them and reinforce the lessons learned in school). School gives them interactions with other kids (good) but a good teacher is a must (rare in these parts) but what they learn the most is from you.
thank u so much

Try and ensure you give him a heavy* meal of cereal at night. it will help sustain him till morning.

Initially you may have to offer the baby water or milk during the night when you wean. Some children nurse during the night out of habit and not necessarily hunger.

There are some baby biscuits you can give your son. Though many mums give regular N5 biscuits and cheeseballs too cheesy

Thanks dear, I think my DS is trying to form waking up severally at night as a habit, because I ensure I feed him well before he sleeps.

I'm assuming the baby has colic....

I did gentle massage on the baby's tummy with a heated towel... it seemed to alleviate the pains!

Also she needs to be well burped after meals to avoid gas in her tummy and her mum should watch her diet at this time. I hear* that some mums have to stop taking dairy products because of this!

Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by Nobody: 12:06pm On Oct 15, 2015
@Ayobarmy.
She has to run away from milk and milk products, yoghurt. I avoided beans too during mine
My Dd had colic and I didn't use any drugs, though it ain't easy seeing your baby in pain.
I only ensured she's burped well after each feed, then I massage her tommy with warm water.
All these drugs contains alcohol, it doesn't reduce the pain, it only makes them sleep and after they wake, the routine continues. Nospamin, gripe water, copom amidst others should be avoided as much as possible except in very chronic cases of colic.
my love to the LO.

A mother on ebf needs Fluids and not necessarily milk. Adults milk can't get digested on time in a baby's system and you know a baby sucks whatever the mother eats. Their digestive system is still developing. That's why babies have their milk while adults have theirs too. that's why a motgee whose baby isn't pooing is advised ti take more fruits and fibre cos it aids digestion, hence the baby will be able to take it from breastmilk.
I hope this explains it better?

Other mamas will explain better.

Colic abdomen happens to every baby but the degree of pain differs as we all have different pain threshold.
Having said dat,tummy time(place d baby of the tummy for like 5-10mins everyday with supervison), tummy massage(massage d tummy in a circular motion),burp baby after each feed and bicycle motion wit d baby's leg
Pls NO to Nospamin, it causes abdominal distension and u won't knw or mite nt notice cos u r nt conversant wit it
Even infacol is nt given for more dan 5days to one week, pls it wil take it course
Weneva the baby is in pain, tell the mum to lie the tummy on hers or u can do it to her. It helps.
Hope dis helps
My love to ur lo

Its two ways u can either wait it out or keep giving something to relief d constant stretching. Mine was colicky too gave him gripe water though but only relieves him for awhile. Kai I just thank God those episodes are over now as my DS is already 4 month+ now. Don't worry it will pass.
