Ftm with tons of questions please senior mamas, no vex.
First is please which shampoo can be used and do i have to do all of the hair special care for my son, although I plan to do afro for him till he is 1 cos he is very hairy.
Second is I noticed some rashes on my son's face, I felt it can't be heat rashes cos its only on his face and that's the part of his body that is never covered. I feel it's a reaction but I don't know to what, he uses coconut oil as cream and Johnson soap to bathe.
Lastly, please which family method has the lesser side effect?

D rashes may be due to him achieving a milestone,I use agnesia powder nd it works 4 my 2 children if its original.abt d hair even me wan do afro bt eela chop d hair finish.I had implant contraceptive fixd,d 1st 3 mnths was hellish as I bled seriously bt its almost 9 mnths nw nd am very okay as it has settled.I think its beta 2 do test first

Thanks Ladyverere, my husband has been really bothered about her cough and catarrah. Imagine the pead was trying to incinutae asthma. for whoever.. i said my baby is not and will never be asthmatic. angry

If u r not comfortable wit d clinic u use, change it, if not den ffg dia advice strictly wen it comes 2 ur baby medication. Wen I gave birth 2 my son, I used all d abide, vit c n paracetamol I was given diligently, he hardly cried wen he was given his immunization or ran any temperature. But later on his became resistance 2 all d drugs. Wen ever he had a cold, cough or temperature I had 2 give him strong dozes cos d regulars were no longer working 4 him, his immune system was low so he picked up ny of d cold or cough symptoms easily. So now wit my daughter, I packed all d medicine 1 place n only give if need be. She is 8mths old n I've only treated her 4 cough 1ce. Don't ova dose ur child wit medicines, its d rainning season so most children r down wit catar n cough. Some times u just let it run it course n it goes away. Sorry 4 d long post.

wat kinda clinic is dat? My baby is d same age and I av hardly ever gone to d clinic 4 any of dose reasons. Cod liver oil prevents all dat. Yes dat size is 4 babies. D dosage is 2.5ml ditto 4 d Vit c and Vite syrups (Em brands). All of dem together cost just N1,200. D cod liver oil is N800 at d pharmacy.

Abj wt their expenses sha,cod l/o is 1,000 here o while afrabvite is 250.

Here in Abuja, I buy the soap for 1000 and the diaper cream for 1800.

what works for me, is backing my baby. Before I know it, she has dozed off.

Hope these helps

Thanks dear.but any suggestions on food to try?what about seven sea

Just keep trying everything. I'm still facing the same problem now. I just stick to the few things he willingly eats. I dont believe in seven seas or any other brand of cod liver oil at this age...but some people do....so you can try if you like.

As long as she is taking a good amount of milk...then half the problem is solved. When she turns 6 mths, you can introduce a variety of flavoured multigrain cereal.

about the boils I experienced a similar thing too though I guess I got infected from being pricked by a needle I was using to burst my baby's aleefo (was advised by someone to do so but I guess it wasn't a wise advice after all so I stopped). I used ampiclox that should generally work for boils but in my case it didn't o. I just tried to boost my immune sys with multivitamins,vit c, vegetables n fruits. also reduce processed sugars or drinks.

if u take d ampiclox n it doesn't work give it sometime n retake again. by the time I worked on my immune sys for almost two months n took d drug again it all cleared.

u can also see ur doctor. boils generally means ur body is fighting some infection

yes. thanks
@backing: he can refuse o. wat I do is yo breastfeed him to sleep on d breast n then transfer him to d back. but sometimes even that method no go work. plus I think this sleeping on d breast is a bad habit I'm allowing him form but don't know how to break it cos that's what makes him sleep sometimes. I wish he is old enough to fall asleep on his own. my mum says its too early

Every baby has their preferences of food. No 2 babies r d same. My sons had cerelac bt my daughter absolutely hate it. Only those who av used 7 seas can tell U weda or not it is gud. U shud av an instinct abt wat U feel will b gud 4 ur baby. Go to a gud pharm ask 4 7 seas. Simply read d leaflet on d carton and if U r satisfied ur baby will thrive on it den buy it, if nt leave it. Personally, I use it wt all my kids for a year and today, dey r never sick even after stopping it. Their immunities r nw well built and dey can thrive on their own. I recommend d same for my friends and urged dem to get their peads approval first. Half a tsp once daily is all a baby needs. Breastmilk does nt contain enuf vit d, hence babies need direct supplement for vit d. Ur baby can only start solids aka adult foods @ age 6 months and nt b4. Some babies don't like fancy baby foods a simple pap and milk is all dey need.

Sweetest Mamas pls, can change of food for a baby cause skin rashes or cough? My LO was feeding on Lactogen 2 and Friso gold rice based cereal, we travelled this week and the friso got finished. I searched all the shops around but no friso, so I bought cerelac rice and maize after feeding my lo that night and the next day I noticed serious rashes all over his body with severe cough and difficulty in breathing. Pls do u think the change is the cause? And what other good and nutritious cereals and baby food can I buy for my prince. We just started eating 3 weeks ago after EB. Thank u
