Sorry love she will be fine. Why not let her be giving the scheduled vaccines on that Wednesday? Instead of going out twice? Or are you using an HMO?
You will have to register and get a card for Zoey before the rota can be given so if it's OK by you just allow her take her 6 weeks vaccine with them.

Note if she's having an elevated temperature or malaise they won't administer the vaccines sha.

Her tempt has been on ans off.
Staying at 37 or 36.8

Whats malaise undecided

helovesme,



He's crying because he is hungry. Kindly introduce formula. There are several brands in the market but personally I stick to Aptamil.

You also need to rest, relax and be happy as this will also help your milk production. Introduce formula, this will fill him up. Try and sleep whilst he's sleeping. In between feeds or when you are relaxed (for example while watching tv), keep breastfeeding him.

To avoid constipation, you have to give him warm water at least once a day. I also go a scoop less than the recommended guide on the tin. For example, if 6 scoops of formula is recommended for 200ml of water, I use 5.

Don't forget that hygenine has to be top notch with bottle feeding. Bottles, teats, et al must always be sterilised. Use a separate sponge (not the 'general' kitchen sponge) when washing them and make sure the sponge is kept separately to avoid any mixup. Always use boiled water (irrespective of whether or not it's bottled water from a reputable brand). Left over milk must be discarded. Bottles must be washed with soap and water and sterilised before the next use.

I was given a weeks supply of amoxicillin capsules to be taken 3x daily. I was also asked to apply TCP 6x daily. That stuff is quite painful. I didn't get myself until I removed the rejected stitch.the doctor named it "healing by secondary intention". You can Google it and see if the symptoms match urs.

Good day Mummies in the house. I am new to nairaland, my first post. I am a mother of two. Please I'd like to know if any mother here has been diagnosed with Osteitis pubis; during pregnancy and after pregnancy. Osteitis pubis is inflammation of the pubic bone involving seperation of the pubic symphysis, it is an extremely painful condition. Please if anyone has suffered/is suffering from this condition as a result of pregnancy; I'd love to hear from you. I hope i posted in the right thread.
I intentionally posted here because there are alot of mummies who just had babies.
Thank you.

Boil? Or Mastitis? This sounds like a case for the Doctor. Best check prices on formula as I think they may prescribe certain Antibiotics and you can't breastfeed on most antibiotics. Don't pierce it abeg.

You are either headed to a Dermatologist or a Theatre room, sorry dear. They have to cut it off. But ask them because there's a cream that helps with itching recovering wounds or whip some up (there used to be a recipe I've seen around..)
