Blendy77: Omogemi, she will walk when she's ready to. These babies have their own clock and calender which is different from ours. When my boys didn't sit at 5m, I tot they were late until one day I returned from work and met my smallie sitting down and 2 wks later the bobo was already crawling on his tummy n kneels at intervals. By 6m, he was a fast crawler scattering things everywhere. They know what they are doing jare. His senior bros just keep following behind. At 4m he wasn't even carrying his head and my nannies were always mocking him. I was worried initially till I read a guy's comment here that his son couldn't carry his head at 5m. So these children will always move to their nex level when they are ready.

Hummingbird sorry o! I dey feel u but I don't mind being in ur shoes even with twins cos it means I'll be getting pregnant free of charge. Anyways, babies are special gifts from God. Just get good nannies to help u out. So many of us spent moni to get pregnant and some are still spending with no result so just go and prepare for the newbie and be more careful next time.

thank u my sis. Its well with u n urs. My hugs to ur twins.
@hummingbird, i wish i ws in ur shoes ryt now. I ll b so freaking happy. I knw what i went thru b4 i had my baby. Blendy77 said it all. I ws on d verge of ivf treatment when i realised i ws preggy. D Lord is ur strength. Pls b happy for this n stay strong. It is well with u n urs.

Pls mummies in da house ps i need ur opinion on smth. Is it okay to still continue giving my 11 month old single grain cereal or do i change to mixed cereal?
I started her with friso rice then changed to nutriben 4cereals. When she was teethin recently, i think d taste of nutriben changed in her mouth n she did nt lyk it. So i got frisogold rice again wh she accepted. Now i v gotten mulipa mixd cereal wh she took well. Is it adviseable she eats 2 types of cereal or d i stick to one?


@Hummingbird, i wish u could transfer it to me just by a hug. His Grace will see u thru. Dont be afraid. God doesnt leave His own half way.

Mummy Blendy, its fun seeing ur cuties walk. My daugther is yet to walk n she's almost a year. She hates walker lyk. . . krazie.

fetok: Hello Mummies in the house.
Am a new mother with 10days old baby Boy.
My Baby doesnt sleep @night and some one said He is having on His head,Oka-Ori in yoruba{soft spot}.
Pls is there anything like that?if yes,
what are the symptoms and remedies?Thanks

from my experience oka is real. Not an ailment but part of delivery process.
Its hs nothing to do with sleep its just d skull closing up. Pls dont fret.
Put ur hand on ur babys' head and trace it from d front (forehead or d soft spot)straight to d back (d neck @ d back) to knw hw wide it is. From experience with my baby i noticed she poops little poops alot.
Dont let anyone tell u to give him agbo to drink.
Here is what i did. Go to elewe omo n ask for 'oka'. There is a number for boys- i think 5 not sure anymore. When u buy it, soak it in water for 3days. After d 3rd day, scoop d water with ur hand n wash his head 3ce. Pls do not give him to drink.
Another option is for u to get silverbird n mix with ur babys oil. Apply it to his soft spot n cover his head. This also helps with cold n catarh. In my own case, i did both for faster result.

Health / Re: What Foods And Fruits Are Best For Slimming Down? by omogemi: 11:17am On Oct 04, 2013
take lemon n warm water with honey early in d morning b4 breakfast. Eat wheat bread instead of regular loaf. U can take tea with honey if u cant get green tea. Also, try cut out margarine n use avocado instead to eat ur bread. Or a slice or two of yam with palm oil or oats. Take skimmed or low fat milk.
Eat brown rice (ofada) or white rice with lots of vegetables. When eating eba, semo or stuff lyk that eat little of it with lots of veggies.
Eat salads without mayonaise or cream, its very good.
As for fruits, eat pineapples- d nigerian type has lesser sugar than d cotonou type, eat oranges, banana n groundnuts, avocados, grape (best for weight loss), garden eggs, melons, apples
also limit fried foods n if u hv 2 fry, use canola, or soya oil, or sunflower. Cook soups n stews with palm oil, do away with red meat n eat white meat like turkey n chicken.
Most importantly, exercise. U could take walks in d evening if u dnt hv time in d morning.
Also drink water a lot. Do away with coke n stuffs like that. Stop floury foods. Live a healthy lifestyle

@omogemi I don't think honey makes children hyperactive.As 4boys bn bigger than girls,I don't knw abt that.It depends on d gene.If a child has tall/big parents,they'l b dat way.I remember my neighbour who's DH is lik 200kg but sh's lik 56kg but d kids took afta d man.Wen my baby was 5.2kg at 6wks,her baby was 8.5kg at 6wks,although his birthweight was 4kg.I was intimidated even til now.They'r so big.So don't let that bother u

thanx Jade. D thing is my baby is more on d tall syd. She'z slightly taller than my neigbours 14 month old son. Her dad is slim n tall n i m also tall (abt 5.9). In short, in my own family, its all abt height. So i ll worry less. Thanx so much. I ll try activate my twitter to add u.

corrall:

@Omogemi, abeg, did the b.co syrup work for your baby? Did she add weight? Can my baby start taking the wellkid? Did u see any change in ur baby?. Sorry jare, too many questions.

i gave 5mls 2ce daily. Yes it made her eat n she started adding weight although it ws a gradual process. D b.co ws prescribed by her doc. He also told me to switch to wellkid when d b.co finished. Wellkid is from 3mths to 5yrs.
Pls talk to ur doc b4 u give her any drug.
Also, during dt phase, she ws teething so its likely ur baby is going thru a particular phase ryt now. Observe her. Try her with different foods. My baby liked beans so i cook it w/o d skin n add carrot, tomatoe, fish to it n when its ready i put butter. She also lykd rice. If ur baby lyks dodo, be adding lil rice or beans or butter or even yolk wit it.
Its a gradual thing my sis. She' ll b fyn.

ori may not 'heal' stretch marks but it helps in dealing with them n also preventing them. Use ori alone to rub ur skin or mix it with either coconut oil or olive oil. Suspend ur own creams for now. One more thing, no matter how hard it itches, dont scratch it. Its worsens d stretch marks

blank: Please mothers, let us not get too hysterical. Prednisolone is a strong steriod no doubt but sometimes it can save our children's lives! My fear is that we will start rejecting the drug but it has its uses. I don't know about measles but i know it is an anti-inflammatory drug that can be used to treat asthma, certain skin rashes, bonchial inflammations, allergic reactions, chest infections etc.

It is a very effective drug that can save a kid's life when it is necessary. I have had cause to use it for my son and it worked immediately where others failed. The doctor's are professionals. Let them do their job. It doesnt mean that we just accept their word as law but you can ask them questions and ask for an alternative if you are still uncomfortable.

From what you wrote, the injection was pcm but the prednisolone was given orally?

dont mynd me o. i mixed it up cos i kinda paniced. the prednisolone was d drugs to be taken with pcm and analgesic was d inj. thanks for ur advice. i gave her d prednisolone this nite already. had to be sure before i proceed and now i am okay with what i have confirmed

@Jade sorry i wsnt able to reply ur post b4 now. D drugs i wantd 2 talk about r d usual flagyl n septrin. My aunt who is a matron said infection is mostly d cause of these things but people overlook it from dt perspective. She said ordinary slight infection in d pelvis area can hinder sp**m from getting 2 its destination'. So she told me 2get these 2 drugs d take dem @ d start of my period till it ends. She also wrote eviol, folic acid, b co. Meanwhile, i ws on metformin wch makes me ovulate but it ws prescribed by d clinic. Clomid dsnt make me ovulate.

for me clomid wasnt it. i was on parlodel and when i changed hospitals, i was given metformin with it. some people aldactone is their answer. like my aunty a matron once said, ordinary infection is what is causing the problem. may God help us all. sincerely, I pray God will meet them at the very point of their needs. He has said that there is no barren in His house. for every woman out there believing God fo the fruit of the womb, i say God will give in double and triple fold. amen
