Jazzyjazz, you are welcome and u have a cute boy. To your question about episiotomy, firstly u should take your sitz bath seriously, warm water, salt and dettol or savlon and sit for 10-15mins. Rinse after urinating and change pads frequently. You will be fine in no time and would be so ready to r... Oga soonest Drink enough water while eating so that ur poo won't be so hard that wud lead to straining. Keep an open mind about d healing cos it solely depends on your body but like 2weeks, u should see drastic improvement. Once again you're welcome 1 Like |

AbbynHummy: I have the 3 years implanon on. It was done last year, only spotted some days after the procedure and AF has not come near me. I heard it doesn't fail, although bodies differ. I have an appointment for this January, although I have been feeling sick, but I refuse to imagine that it can fail. I will confirm when I get to the clinic 1 Like |

Happy new year mothers. How long does immunization fever last? BCG retaken on Friday afternoon at 6months +,now we're having fever. I gave pcm Friday night and Saturday morning and fever stopped so I discontinued. Only for me to touch baby this early morning and her body is very hot. @Onegai I do really appreciate the effort and time you dedicated to this forum. God bless you. May 2017 bring good tidings to your family. 5 Likes 1 Share |

jazzyjazz: A mama posted this earlier.....Quite long, I hope it helps Try these ideas for preventing Tip soreness and solving the problem if it does happen. 1. Let your baby self-latch Humans, like the newborns of other mammals, have innate breastfeeding abilities and are capable of finding the breast and latching on well with only minimal help from the mother. (Some medications and interventions in labour and birth may make this more difficult for some babies in the first hours and days after birth.) If the mother gets into a comfortable, semi-reclining position and puts the baby tummy-down on her body (gravity will help keep him there, but mom can use her hands to provide some support if needed), with the baby’s head near her breasts, the baby will orient himself by bobbing his head, and move towards the breast to latch on. This can take time, but usually results in an effective, pain-free latch. 2. Use good positioning if you need to help the baby. Some babies (for example, those who were exposed to medications during labour and birth) may have difficulty in self-attaching. If you are breastfeeding sitting up, be sure your baby is tucked in close to you, tummy to tummy, and that your supporting hand or arm is placed behind her shoulders, not her head, so that she can tip her head back and bring the chin into the breast first. Your Tip should be pointed towards her nose, so that as she opens wide and tips her head back, it will be in the perfect place to slide deeply into her mouth, aimed at the roof of her mouth. 3. Adjust without unlatching If your baby latches on, and it hurts, you know something is wrong. Sometimes mothers are advised to stick a finger in the baby’s mouth, unlatch him, and start over. The problem with this approach is that it is very frustrating for the baby: every time he starts nursing, he's taken off the breast. Some get so frustrated they refuse to nurse, or begin clamping down on the Tip. It also puts you at the risk of more Tip damage if the baby latches on incorrectly repeatedly. Instead, try first to adjust the baby's position while he’s nursing, so that the rest of the feeding can be more comfortable. 4. Watch for early hunger cues Mothers with sore Tips often want to space feedings out as long as possible, and that’s definitely understandable! If something causes you pain, you want to do it infrequently. However, a very hungry baby isn’t going to have much patience, and may try to grab at your Tip, causing more pain. Feeding the baby as soon as he seems hungry will make it easier to work on getting a good latch every time. 5. Remember that not all sore Tips are caused by latch problems (although the majority are) Some other possible causes: thrush (a yeast infection on the skin of the Tip, which can also be inside the baby’s mouth); a bacterial infection on the Tip or in the milk ducts; a Tip bleb, which looks like a tiny white blister on the end of the Tip; Raynaud's syndrome, which is a condition where the Tip turns white after a feeding and hurts as the blood flows back in. If you suspect any of these (or some other issue) might be the problem, check with your doctor or a lactation consultant for treatment recommendations. 6. Check for tongue-tie in baby A baby with a tongue-tie isn’t able to lift his tongue or move it forward normally and this means she can’t use it to help extract milk from the breast. Instead the baby will push the Tip up with her tongue, pressing it against her hard palate as she sucks and often causing a lot of pain and damage. Look to see if your baby sticks her tongue out past her bottom lip and if she lifts her tongue to the roof of her mouth when crying. If she seems unable to make these movements, consult with your doctor. A medical professional can clip the membrane that restricts the tongue’s movement, which can make a big difference. 7. Use Tip shields cautiously, if at all Tip shields are often recommended to protect sore Tips during feedings, but they can sometimes cause more problems than they solve. Tip shields look like bottle Tips made out of very thin silicone and are placed over the mother’s Tips before the baby latches on. However, often the baby doesn’t latch well onto the shield, the Tip continues to be damaged and the different shape and feel may lead to the baby having difficulty in breastfeeding without it. If other things haven’t worked, though, it may be worth giving it a try with the help of a lactation consultant. 8. Use your milk to heal cracked, bleeding or blistered Tips Express a little milk onto the Tip and let it air-dry there. Be cautious about using lanolin or other creams; if you do have some thrush present, these creams can encourage it to grow. A prescription ointment (such as Dr. Jack Newman’s All-Purpose Tip Ointment) with ingredients to fight bacterial and yeast infections can help you heal as well. You can also take over-the-counter painkillers. Another option is to apply an ice pack just before you feed the baby to temporarily numb the Tip as you latch the baby on. One piece of good news:breastfeeding Tips generally heal very quickly once the cause of the damage (such as a latch problem) is resolved. 9. Air those Tips out If your Tips are sore and damaged, you may find that anything touching them makes them hurt even more. You can use breast shells (donut shaped plastic items with a dome top; you put your Tip in the middle of the donut hole and the dome protects it from contact) to protect them from being touched by your bra. As much as possible, expose the Tips to the air so they will stay dry and heal. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Suzy, firstly what's causing the rashes? Is it heat rashes or breastmilk rashes? If its as a result of breastmilk, after breastfeeding, clean with clean damp warm cloth to wipe off d milk, if its heatrashes, reduce covering, dress baby a layer more than you, pending on the weather, as for the rashes there now, agnesia powder is very good but isn't magical so be patient with it, u can mix d powder with water to form Paste and rub on the affected area.

Sameme2:3tbspn of semo cooked in a 15tbspn of hot water. Mix the semo in a cold water, pour on the cooking hot water on a low heat till it's thick like pap. Serve and add the mixed formula to it. You can also try this with wheat but has to be processed one like Honeywell and not the one grounded by oneself 4 Likes 3 Shares |
