Mamas pls I ve 2 questions o.... 1. Is it compulsory 2 cut baby's hair after birth? 2. My baby is 10wks today n I'm yet 2 see my menses,is it normal?

Note: I never kpekus ooo cheesy

I'd say cutting of hair is up to the parents. some factors come into play though- religion, family preferences, culture, if the pikin's hair is growing well etc etc

There's no hard and fast rule.

For baby girls i feel giving a low shave/hair cut will help the hair grow out evenly and fully... not all that 2 strands and no hair at the back meme....

My thoughts sha!

Morn mamas in d house, nid clarification pls. For those who gv dia kids food to creche @ what months or age did u start putting food for ur kids to be fed in creche.
Call me paranoid(yea I'll gladly acept cos d fear of choking is real) bt I jst can't put food lik say rice yam etc for dem to feed her @ creche, I'll rather feed her myslf @ home wen I gt bk frm work. So for now we just take cereals, ogi, egg etc to creche.
Lovinam,modath,tchiwinnie,kaffy4bill,
She wil b 1yr dis month, wen cn I start and what kinds of food, ideas plsssss
The nannies at my son's creche re good. I kinda trust dem wt feeding my lo. He didn't actually start adult food on tym. BT wen I was sure he was accepting it at home, I starting packing for him for schl. I cook his food to b soft. softer than ours. I started packing it for him wen he was abt 1yr 6months

She will go to baba egbeji nah.. grin


On a more serious note, if test is done & no malaria or infection is found, would you advise anti malaria & antibiotic,, of course she should ruuuuunnnnnn away to another hospital with competent paed.

it is likely flu or major teething induced fever.....

I am no doctor, but i have senior pediatric consultants on speed dial... wink

Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by Onegai(f): 1:22pm On Oct 08, 2015
mytestimony I kinda agree with modath, let the hospital run the tests a few more times and feel free to ask a competent paediatrician for a 2nd opinion. I have senior paeds on pinging (unlike modath's ones, they demoted me from speed-dial grin) and one is in malaria research and from what I gather, fevers in babies can be caused by several things: teething, malaria, a viral or bacterial infection etc. But to start treatment without confirmation, if I were you I'd get a second opinion.

And doctors tend to give you the info that will sway you to taking their opinion as valid and the only answer, when sometimes that's not the case.

Hello mamas,

So my baby is 6 months and I wanna start solids but baby has refused spoon in the mouth. Once I put spoon, see cry and crankiness. But would eat if it's a bottle. How can I get my baby to start liking spoon or hand? Pls help thanks.

Continue giving the zinc tablet, most children don't like ORS,wat I do is try increase fluid intake for my kids(water or any drink tolerated). It's well sis
