Truly I don't know much about these scenarios Ejeh121. Maybe you can speak with your Dr? They would advice you best and besides weaning at 10months isn't bad at all.

Happy birthday stadora.
@ejei121, pls don't feel guilty he is 10 months already, pls give him cereal and formular

Bury the feeling of guilt, he is 10 months, some get pregnant at 2-3months and life did not stop.... your breastfeeding him isn't the problem{I've researched and asked knowledgeable people}, the fact that you don't keep enough food down is what is affecting your milk quantity, and quality [richness] and if that is his main meal, he wont't get enough nutrition from that..so he needs to be fed other food more than breast-milk...

What kind of food do you feed him presently?

Happy Birthday ma'am stadora. More of God's grace in your life.

If be is 10 months already, he is well and truely ready for weaning. If you have been exclusively breast feeding till now i commend your strenght oh!

Dont feel guilty, think of your health and the little baby growing inside you. If you breakdown, that wont be good for all of you, bump, son, you and hubby. If you end up being hospitalised it is still the same formula, cereal and solids your son will have to be given and the transition will not be as gentle.

Start substituting his feeds with mashed up or pureed food, begin with one meal a day and gradually increase to 3.
You could offer either some baby cereals in the morning for breakfast, some mashed or pureed proper food with veg in the afternoon and some fruit in the evening.

Also introduce him to formula milk so that if you are sick someone else can feed him or If you have enough strenght you could express so that he still gets some breast milk as well.

In the early stages you can still offer the breast / bottle after his food if you are not sure if he is full but he should take less and less of the milk as he eats more solids.

It will shock you that there is a small African man inside him somewhere and after the boy tastes pounded yam/ amala and meat/fish, he will slap your breast away when you offer it to him.

Good luck

Happy birthday stadora. GOD bless you real big.

@ ejeh121, your baby is more than old enough to wean, if you ain't eating right, he won't be getting enough nutrient from the breastmilk. Give him formula, cereals and normal food you eat. The breastfeeding should just be an appetizer and not his main meal or better still STOP breastfeeding completely so you can regain strength for the baby in the bun. I stopped breastfeeding my son about 7-8 months cos I got preggy again, yes I felt guilty but hey I won't kee myself naa.

[quote author=mumsgirl27 post=45916683]
oohh....ok..thnx for d response mam

O dear, I am in the same shoes like you are **take a big hug**

No need for guilty feelings

At 10 months, cereals and other solids should be his main meal. for example, my son eats all his cereals and I still breastfeed him. at this point, breastmilk will either serve as appetizer or dessert..lol.

I spoke to my ob/gyn and my son's paed and they both confirmed that it's perfectly ok to breastfeed; it has nothing to do with your growing foetus.

Reduce the breastfeeding, for example, I go to work by 7am so I stopped the early morning breastfeeding and replaced with cereals. He does not breastfeed until I'm back from work by 4pm and then when he wants to go to bed.

Truth is you will feel exhausted at some point, I did but the weaning is even more difficult for me so I've left it to him to wean himself. If he's not willing, I will breastfeed both him and new baby (tandem nursing)

He might not be looking as fat as you think but hey, put him on the scale to be sure. for example, when I got pregnant, my mum kept pestering me about weaning him that he's losing weight. I took him for 1yr immunization and he weighted 12kg! so i just stopped bothering myself.

Don't beat yourself too hard, you wil be fine. We are in this together

If you are in abuja, I think u should get it in Kids affair wuse2 or graco shop in garki ultra modern market tho their product are a bit pricey but u might get it there.

stadora....Happy mama..I wish u LLNP in good health, wealth and peace..More babies.

@ ejeh121...plenty hugs to u, pls follow what other mamas advice.kisses to ur adorable son and the bun in d oven

When Atinuke had rashes at birth, I changed her soap, used oil instead of lotion and applied rising raving powder ( i was careful the dust didnt blow anyhow). It cleared in a couple of days.
If you are not sure, kindly take the baby to the hospital so you can be reassured.

This is likely impetigo the rash seems to have puss in it. Ask your Dr or pharmacist for antibiotics. Usually gentamicin cream would resolve it.

Then start adding savlon ti his bathing water and rinse his clothes with savlon in the water. Change bed sheets more often and mop the house with bleach more often. Ask everyone living with you to wash hands more especially before carrying him.
