Good evening o
Please I've come again.

So this afternoon I noticed my ds voice changed. It now sounds like the voice of someone who is losing his or her voice even when he cries it is no longer loud or normal like it's been. Abeg should I worry? In fact I'm worried

Does he have a cough? Cold? Did he cry a lot/for a long time today? If no, maybe u shd take him to see a paediatrician. Kpele, he'll be fine

On a lighter note, let me share my experience..

I used to be in this ship too but somehow I'm one leg out...
Last time we kpekused was when I was 6 weeks gone (may 2016), then bleeding followed suit, placenta previa showed face which made the Dr ban us from se.x while I was preggers.

Fast forward to my 6 weeks post-CS checkup, first question I asked my doc was about family planning but he said nothing will be done until I see my period...choi!!

My libido is still in sambisa forest as we speak, but I had to do what I had to do biko (b4 we go mark No-Kpekus 1 year anniversary grin). Shiii was painful o but how I for do na.... We don try!

6weeks post cs me don fire down till now.
No break no period.
My baby sef don understand mum n dad time.
Lol
Maybe cos my hoohaaa was not touched.
Only cathita they inserted... see me doing like chicken.

I posted this a while ago, worked for me and veejay who did it recently too. You might want to give a try.


"On the doctor's recommendations for cradle cap (noticed my son's scalp was dry and flaky and his front hairline was receeding...so we went to see his doc).
Put olive oil on the scalp and leave on for 15mins
Use a fine tooth comb to gently massage the scalp and also comb up the flakes
Then wash hair with selsun blue shampoo (active ingredient is selenium...dunno if that is what sebamed has too) and slightly towel dry
Apply hair oil and comb.

This should be done once a week for 2 weeks...I.e twice.
Healed my boys scalp instantly... Now we are patiently waiting for his bald spots to grow back"

my DS is 6 months and had same around 4-5months. i did some research n discovered it was because of excess saliva n mucos been produced due to teething. taking lots of foremilk sometimes causes this.
with time it will go, i really dont think it shud be a cause for alarm.
other mamas can shook mouth o.

Thank you dear for your input. I thunk i saw that part online too. He is within that age range. Its disturbing because he only poops once a day since I gave birth to him. He was rehydrated with drip yesterday.

The stool looks similar to what my baby had some months back. It lasted a week and stopped after i started using Milton to sterilize her bottles.

My opinion is its an infection.

Was using microwave steam sterilization for her bottles previously,After i noticed a change in stool and increased number of pooping, I replaced this with Milton tablet and it stopped about two days after.(Her stool went back to normal)

He will be fine by God's grace.

Thank you ma. Ive been using hot water and salt to sterilise because of our light situation. I'm gonna buy the tablet today.

Viewer discretion needed beyond this point.

My four months old baby is currently in admission at the hospital where he is being treated for cough, catarrh and malaria. Diagnosis is chest infection.

Yesterday he started stooling especially after every meal. He is in sma formula and breast milk. What does this mean. The poo has lump slimy with mucous. They are treating it with zinc tablet.

Has any mama gone through this?

My baby also had this stooling ish when she was about 4 months old. The poop looks exactly the same way as yours and i decided to stop the formular. On the days i gave only breastmilk she didnt stool as much and that was when i realized that she was reacting to aptamil so i switched to NAN and it stopped. I hope this helps

Lolzzz... I think it is normal... My DS do that often and when you get to his side, it would appear as if he wasn't the one that screamed. What I simply do is to change his sleeping position.

... but we usually have another drama if my MIL or mum is around. They'll start telling the sleeping baby "Fight them! Yes, beat them very well..."

MY MUM: Whoever beats you, beat the person very well...

MY MIL: You are the son of a brave man, do not be afraid... Whoever faces you, attack the person...

Bible quotations will now follow... My DH and I will just look at each other and start laughing at their superstitious beliefs... DH told both of them to stop when we could not cope with the different beliefs again...

Lol. Honestly, I don't know how I cope. My husband has complained tire say na so so sleep I dey sleep during the weekend, I just don't mind him. I cannot come and die. I go work work from Monday till Friday. I will now be working again on Saturday and Sunday. Impossible cheesy

One thing I have learnt is "Do what you can and leave the rest." Do not overwork yourself. This morning, I when my alarm went off, I snoozed it and eventually woke up 45 mins later. I still had to pump and get myself ready, get the baby ready, drop the baby off and drive one hour to work. I just pumped and got ready, grabbed the sleeping baby like that and dropped him off at the sitter still in his pajamas. Make she dey deal with am like that. grin

Once you start work, try and do things the night before. Pack the baby's bottle, bag and your bag and paraphernalia together. You can even place them in the car too. Saves you time the next morning. Then try and sleep early, cos if you don't, you will be exhausted and that will slow you down the next morning. And will also make you sluggish at work as well. I don't eat breakfast so no need to make breakfast.

Get into a routine and with time it will be second nature to you.

Hello mamas,
Hope we r great?

I'd like to know the appropriate time to start putting babies in a sitting position or in a baby walker.
Thanks

Any other mama who can answer

For me , girls at 4 months and boys, 5 months for sitting. I watch out for when he is ready to sit; he can raise his head from lying face down, neck can be controlled etc . Careful where you place your child to sit so he doesn't have hard falls or bruise his face.
I actually padded a carton of indomie with clothes and it helped.

Me and walker. I wait till baby can stand with support o.
Then walker sets in .


Good luck

Hahahhahaha.
Don't worry. You will survive.
You should know women are very good at multitasking.
This is my daily routine
- wake by 4
- lie down to think about my life till 4.30.... meanwhile I bash and snooze my alarm every 5 minutes. I drag myself up. If I did my dishes the previous night then I can stay in bed till 5.
- 5. In the kitchen parambulating and clashing pans. If I am lucky , there is light. Plug in the electric kettle for bath water. Put food on fire. Start arranging lunch bag or snacks.
-5.45 back in the room drag lil sister to bathroom, dress her in her undies and place her back on the bed to continue her sleep. Wake big bro up, bath him, dress him in his undies and back to bed too. Set their breakfast on the dining, arrange their uniforms and shoes within sight, bags and lunch bags set.
6.20 rush to the bathroom with breakneck speed to have my bath. Ignore my moisturising soap cos it takes longer to wash off opt for their dudu osun soap. Ignore my skin pampering lotion for coconut oil. Dress up.
6.40 kiss the kids and hubby, run out of the house. Jump the stairs, throws back greetings, warm the car, hop in and drive off like a crazy person , hissing at any one who tries to overtake. Take BRT lanes and stupid short cuts too.
8.00 get to work, looking guilty cos I'm 30 minutes late.
3 00 . Done chasing those kids for today! But some won't still go.
3.30- 4.00 I'm good to go now. Trying to beat everyone to the toll. Then to Osborne holdup. See I have my own short cuts o....My sisters are always like.... You are the most indecent driver I know.
5.00 Back to my mom's to pick the kids. Bone tired and cranky.
6 00 Home. Dreading what awaits me up there. Straight to the kitchen. Moyo has done his homework at my moms. Feed him and his sister.
The room looks like a hurricane ran right through. Make the bed , arrange the sitting room, go through the bags for any messages from teachers, arrange the bags for tomorrow .
Back in the kitchen to do the dishes, precut the yam or precook the beans, make the sauce .
9.00 kids are finally asleep. I'm ready to sleep but it won't come.....Read a book. Browse.
11.00 finally sleep off.
4 00 BLAST THAT ALARM!!!!!

I saw this process and did it for them a while back although with sebamed baby shampoo. It left and came back. Its like anytime it's coming back its coming with a vengeance. I would look for d shampoo you mentioned and hope it clears it forever and forever. Amen
