Mamas, my baby is 6mnths1wk with no tooth.....should I be worried ?

shndy:
I made this for my baby Last night and he wolfed it down.

Age: 6m+
Ingredients: Sweet potato, apples, carrots, turkey and cabbage

How-To**

*Peel sweet potato, apple, carrot, wash and dice
*Remove skin and debone turkey, wash well and dice
*I used d innermost part of cabbage, noticed d leaves thr are softer and fresher, wash and cut

**In a pot combine carrots and cabbage, cover with water, reduce heat and steam till tender.
**Put d turkey in another pot cover with water reduce heat and steam, 15-20mins into d cooking, pour sweet potatoes and apples, cover with enough water.
**When all is cooked, scoop into a blender, discard d carrot water, use d sweet potato water to puree into the consistency u want, if d left over water isn't enough simply use previously boiled water.

****I cooked d carrot and cabbage separately cos of nitrates

Shawbabe:
Pls who can help me with this? It's on the back of my baby's head, what is it and what can I use to treat it? It itches as well. I have applied Shea butter and baby oil on it. Nothing. It's been there since my baby was 2 months. My baby is 5 months plus now.

Mzora:
Do u back your baby a lot

shndy:

Which baby oil are you using, it could be aggravating d condition. So far have you been to a doc? Av u tried any topical treatment, baby tribotan , hydrocortisone, ketoconazole?

Onegai:


Please don't try those creams without a prescription from a paediatrician or dermatologist. At least one of those is a Corticosteroid.

Shawbabe, take your baby to his/her doctor. If you are unsure about what they prescribe or its not working, please go to GH Lagos Island, they have dermatologists there who are specialised in all skin infections.

Makari is good for adults, but I personally wouldnt use their baby products. Probably because when I hear Makari, my mind immediately goes to skin lightening lol.

Dis is d attached pix

MiracleMum:


My sister uses makari for her kids and the first daughter is still very dark. The difference between her and a random dark girl is the glow, her black shines - makes her skin radiate even though it's dark. I use same for my daughter and she's not oyinbo, but looking at her skin gives the impression of ajebutter.
Makari baby products is good for those that can afford it.

Please dear, stop using sudocream. Sudocream is specially formulated for nappy rash and I think it's what is aggravating the issue. It seems to me you have dried out her skin. If you have access to double base gel,you could try using it as it would protect the skin with layers while moisturising it. Then if you use soap to bath her stop using it ( soap sometimes dries out babies skin). Look for an emollient, like oilatum and use instead. It would take time, but it should work.

Goodluck!

esteria:
Tnx @liliana, u r rite abt d sudocrem, cos it was wen I applied it dat it got worse. Luckily d sebamed cream I used is peeling it off jst few days afta use. I use johnson baby soap, now I will change to sebamed baby soap (God will provide d moni) or d oilatum u said.
God bless u.

Lateralmaths:

Thanks miraclemum for the reply. It really is pricey but will give it a try.

OmogeNG:


It looks like a bruise...and it looks like what backing can cause. The constant movement of the head when the weapper is tied to the neck, causes bruising.

If you dont back your baby at all. Then see a doc. If you do, stop backing her for a while, continue applying the shea, and see if there is a difference.

shndy:

Is double base gel in naija?

specialguest:


I wanted to ask this same question just now but decided to scroll through and I saw your post.

Sabi mama's we bring greetings to you and your adorable identity cards (L.o's). Am a ftm, with a 3months old baby. Biko which malaria drug is safe to take while breasfeeding.

MiracleMum:


You won't regret it. The cleansing milk can last for 8 months while the soap for 3 months (morning and night use).

rezzy:

Pls how much is the makari baby cream? Thanks

MiracleMum:


No ma'am. As part of the Polio eradication endgame, the WHO is trying to phase out the Oral Polio and replace it with the Inactivated IPV which is what will be used after polio eradication. IPV is now available in Nigeria as part of the Polio endgame plan.
They are trying to phase out OPV and replace with IPV for the post polio free Nigeria era.
Its ok to get the IPV even after taking the OPV

Shawbabe:

Lmao. U people won't kill me with laugh. No I have NEVER backed my baby. I don't even know how to tie wrapper, let alone tying one to back a baby. So I definitely know it's not from backing.

I don't live in Lagos to be going to GH? I reside in Abuja, my pediatrician saw it b4 I returned to naija with the baby and he said it was nothing to worry about. I'm not worried about it to be honest coz it's not painful or bleeding. And I have monitored it for months, nothing has changed. I just felt that someone here had experienced it on their baby? That's why I asked. I will see anothwr pediatrician in Abuja just to be sure. Thanks mums.
