We are still battling it o, every doctor we asked said it's normal. How can something like that be normal? Even an adult can't stand pooping severally in a day. It's just painful seeing her so uncomfortable.

if doc says its normal, who are we to say otherwise..your baby will be fine smiley

thanks and pls i saw a little blood in his nose and when i looked deep into his nose, there was no sign of blood inside.

Pls take your baby to a doctor. A one month old falling on a tiled floor is not something to be overlooked...it can lead to many complications.

It is well.

The oil cld also be the reason for the chopped hair. I think u shd stick to the ori.

Do u give ur baby any herbal concortion(agbo) or any other thing aside frm BM. If yes, it cld be d reason for d frequent stooling.

True talk. Sometimes last month, a female colleague(my hubby's place of work) received a call and fainted. When she came around, she said her nephew died in daycare while he was being fed. He choked. The nanny used that method u talked abt.

Has he started to grow teeth? Does he have temp?(not high temp just something little higher than his normal body temp)

Hello sir,
Please advise me. My baby also suddenly stopped taking her cereals, but she takes adult meals, her formula and BM. She also runs mild temperature every once a while. It all started 2weeks ago when she had very high temperature. I gave her paracetamol and wen it persisted I gave her Lonart antimalaria. She became better bt after abt 4 days d temp started again and this time with cough and catarrgh. So I took her to d hosp. We ran test and they discovered malaria and mild infection. So she was given malaria injection for 3days. She was also given flagyl and sefzitil suspension. Bt she always vomits d sefzitil. She's fine now except for d on and off temperature(not high) and the cough and catarrgh.
Kindly advise on what to do. Is it because she didn't take d sefzitil? Can u recommend another antibiotics to perform d function of d sefzitil. Why did she suddenly stop the cereals she used to like a lot?
A lot of questions running through my mind. I really want her temp to go back to normal
Thanks a lot.

Moms nd Dads please I need your help oooo,all of a sudden my eleven months old started having diaper rash,(wondering what could be the cause )tho sudocream is clearing it.
The main ish is the funny looking rash,thats like mosquito bites on his body ie arm nd d sides of thighs.sudocream isn't working ,pls what can I use?
Also want to change his cream,was using ori+c.oil b4 .
Need to change it because of d weather,he can sweat for Africa.
PS,i don't think d rash is mosquito bite cos he sleeps in mosquito net.
How far with the rash? Has it cleared? If no pls try visita plus. It works wonders.
As for change of cream, u cld try using c.oil alone bt in small quantity

How old is your baby and has she started teething? And do you mean cefprozil(cefzril). If yes, its a broad based antibiotics used for treating bacteria. You ought to have found a means to make her use it, as underdosage will have a side effect. The bacteria will come back stronger and maybe become resistant to the drug

I need help on what to do. My one month baby fell down on a tiled floor, I fell asleep on the bed with him on my chest and woke up to see him on the floor sleeping. Pls ooh!
What's the distance btw the bed and the floor? If its up to 4 feet, pray to God it wasn't the head he use to impact the floor! Only a miracle will protect him from a condition I wldnt want to put here. The symptoms are not immediate but later when he's growing, so don't feel relaxed if you didn't notice any harm now. You must have been a deep sleeper for you not to have noticed your 1 month old baby fell cos he's gonna cry.

Take him to see a consultant paed for full examination esp blood clot( once you mention clot paed knows the area to check).

Also, if you can afford a baby cot, pls get one. Its risky sleeping with a baby on the same bed for fear of suffocation esp for deep sleepers or you put your mattress on the floor. Good luck to you

You will have to try to force the drug for her. Try talk to some elderly women around you to show you how to gag down drugs for baby.its very important she takes the drugs.i suscribe to this than force feesing.since she has been administered drugs,she will be fine.the cough and catarrh are prolly teething signs and i think thats why the doc didnt prescribe anything.
Your baby is fine

Ok, that should be from 6months, when I get to the shop 2morrow I will check
FOR ALL MOTHERS saying their baby refused to eat, I discovered a new formular and it is working very well for me and some other persons who have tried it. Allow your baby to be very hungry do not even give breastmilk leave the baby for like 3 to 4 or 5 hours then feed, the child will surely eat, just try it, this may work for you too.
