Am in same boat with u o my sis, my own is even nine months, am very worried but I know mamas here will relieve us. Meanwhile I don't think teething cause diarrhea only that immunity will be low to fight infection for them, putting dirty things in mouth cause it and not teething. there can only be mild fever.

They will get their tooth (every human being must ) some come early others later! Genes also plays a big part, my son already has 2 my mum says I got mine early too! He will be 7months on the 25th I'm still breastfeeding and the biting is already annoying me

My sister U won't understand, I was the one who came here some couple of months back asking for business ideas just to support my husband cos his salary has been mortgaged at the end I chose to do laundry becos I felt it will gv me time for my kid and d family before this I tried applying to few as a teacher to few schools here in IJEBUODE but the salary isn't worth it.....so I resorted to LAUNDRY....The average WE make monthly is 25,000 whc isnt enof for the bills we incur, Now tell me how do I employ a stay in cotonou maid from this pittance when I'll monthly pay her 10k from it.......

Sighs.... I'm really speechless. Seriously, if generator could do all dis chores ( washing n ironing), I would v said u shd take loan n get 1 so dt u can do d laundry during d day n sleep n Feed baby @ night. But most generators can't do these chores. During d day no rest, @ night still no rest... It's always gd as a single lady 1 shd think of business ( dt is if she wana b independent) dt won't stress her esp wen she starts having kids. My sister, there r 2 tins I'll advise u 3 tins I'll advise u 2 do; 1) close eye n employ som1 n den do small side business like selling sweets, biscuits et al. 2) if ur husband can help u seriously 2 do d ironing n sorting while u handle d washing (using the machine) n drying. 3) stop d business 4 nw till ur baby starts crèche. God must surely pick out calls 1 day o... Amen. It's well wth u.

Try baby led weaning: i.e. cut up the food into small strip pieces and give him. At that age everything goes into the mouth anyway so he should gradually start tasting food small small. Then keep trying to spoon feed him

It will be messy but its worth a try. Just make sure you are there with him to monitor he is not stuffing his mouth and to prevent choking.

Also try feeding him from your plate when you are eating. Children have longthroat like that.... some will rather eat from your plate than have their own plate.

Na hand, leg and teeth my lo uses to struggle my food with me if i carry her while eating!!!!

@koredeeniola..mama relax, my babygirl is 10months, she cut her first teeth few weeks ago and now the second one is just coming out. so relax baby teeth will soon be out.

koredeeniola, thanks for sharing this o, my mind is at peace now. Weldone mamas, peace be unto u all.

My boy of 3+7months started running temp on sunday,he was given avomile,p-alaxin and paracetamol but I noticed his body is usually hot in the night,was thinking it will stop before he finishes the medication but no this night it returned with red eye would have taken him to clinic if now is day but I will do that in the morning,pls what could be wrong with him.

Genyebere pls take him to the hospital, am not comfortable with the red eyes

Mayday! Mayday!! Mayday!!! This thing on my Son's face has refused to go away, despite all I have used, the doc gave us some antibiotics, he has finished it yet it's still there....... Plsss helpppppppppp

Ahh the creator of this wonderful thread? I must chook mouth. Please take him to a lab and let a swab be taken for culturing, this is to pinpoint the exact organism and know which antibiotic its sensitive or resistant to! Maybe the organism has developed odeshi (resistant)on the antibiotic prescribed. Goodluck and God bless you for this thread.

In addition to what other mamas have suggested, it could be an allergy as well, try and think back if anything in his routine has changed just before the the wounds appeared.

Any new foods? This may also include ingredients in the preparation of the normal foods you eat.. for instance my brother is allergic to shellfish. So using crayfish and dried shrimps in food was either omitted or in very small quanties. If it could not be avoided as some of our local dishes are very crayfish dependent, we just apologised and gave him stew....

New toiletries?

New laundry detergent?

New wipes ?.....

It could also be somrthimg that you have been using that he may have just developed an allergy to. Try and start a process of elimination to see if it helps.

Good luck

His ped later called back after I called him severally,he told me to get 7keys which he took in the night,will be taking him to the lab now as I can't understand,body is hot but temp is always between 35-37c,I have checked his mouth to see if any tooth is coming out but saw none.
Tnx mamas for the contribution

Ayobarmy do as liftedhands said

How is motherhood treating you?

Went to the hosp Dr said no need for the lab testing that I should continue the 7keys with paracetamol by tomorrow we will know how he is.

Good day mamas, hope our babies are doing fine?

My baby has catarrh, when he breathes, I hear sound and I think the catarrh is in his chest. He coughed it out on Monday but it has come again. How do I help him?

I started given him vitamin c yesterday.

I don't know how best to explain it but I think his chest is congested

Thanks ma

there's really nothing you can do. it'll clear up on its own. to ease him a bit, u can try sucking the mucus out with your mouth if u can. my Lil oga also has catarrh now but I'm not worried cos I know it'll pass. u can increase your fruit intake so you'll pass it on to him via bf that's if he's still bfeeding.

I think an antibiotic powder like cicatrin should dry it off. You can crosscheck this with your doctor. Cheers
