I was tempted to say Google it....lol

Anyways I didn't experience colic that much with my DD, but from what I hav heard and read, I fit explain small.

When ur baby cries uncontrollably for no reason....the cries could last for a long time (google says it cld b up to 3 hours).

My mum says its baby having stomach ache because of their immature digestive system and it now makes some babies cry uncontrollably. She also mentioned sometin about the healing navel contributin to it....

Honestly I don't even know how to know when baby is being colicky asides from d excessive crying episodes (which cld also be as a result of wet diapers, heat or some sorta discomfort d baby is feeling) but there was something my mum always did to my Dd every evening....She lay her face down on her chest, she said it has a way of soothing the 'stomach pain' and my DD slept peacefully in DT position....

As per what to do about colic-
Like I said earlier there 2 options-
Wait it out or give drugs (infacol, nospamin, gbomoro, gripe water).

My paed warned against giving drugs, she said a colicky baby can be stressing to cater to but we should wait it out patiently. Once they get t 3 months, it all goes away.

Nne I hope I haven't confused u join, na wetin I know I tell u o.
But meanwhile, babies differ o...so no go find colic where e no de

This cough and cattarh is everywhere. It is also so hard to treat it takes time before it goes completely. As per his temp still give him paracetamol or any fever reducer you are using. Then also mop his body with lukewarm water to bring his temp down. I hope ths will help until morning when you can go back to the clinic. Pele

olubankemi:


Thank you pretty much. They are very fine now. We were reffered to another clinic by the one we were usingn on getting there we were told the expert who we were reffered to just left. Immediately we placed a call to our. Hmo and they reffered us again to another place(thank God for the new place), the. Pead ran another test on them and gave them injections. They slept n woke up crying, we Got food for them and they both eat like they've never seen food before. Hmmm, not been easy, for eight good days now they only accept breast milk.

No more cough and they played before sleeping.

Sorry, hope the weather there isn't too cold, Ac and fan exposure should be minimized. Apply silverbird in drops on the sheet you lay your baby to sleep so that he can inhale it. I apply on the four corners but you can start with one. Cheers.

jaysmama:

Do you have shea butter(ori) and eucalyptus oil at home. The ori is to be rubbed on his nose and chest. Because of his age you need to dilute the eucalyptus oil with olive oil or coconut oil then put on a bib and put the bib on him . If you dont have any of the above just boil water pour in a bucket sit on a chair near the bucket and hold him on your lap and cover the two of you with a cloth so the steam can clear his nose. But please be careful with him o

AlphaHandMaiden:

Must be teething
Ha ha ha !

i think she has just realised she has another appendage other than her hands. when my DD discovered her feet! we will find that the feet of her onsies were soaking wet from saliva! so we started wearing her socks as that was easier to change. i think she got bored after a while and stopped. sure it will be the same too for your baby. just remove her feet from her mouth when you see her do it. not sure there is much more you can do. it is unlikely to form into a habit like finger sucking.

Submit your butt for 24 strokes of cane. I was expecting to see "he's 7 months old". Haba mana! Baby is JUST 3 months and you are expecting him to be sitting up already?? Abeg put that boy on his tummy so he can be strengthening his neck muscles which would help him sit up when the time comes.

zaynie:



Yorubas say 5months for a boy.
Signs to look out for is neck control. Can he raise his head from lying on his back?
You can put him to sit on his bouncer or rocker if he wants to sit.

babythug:


It's the baby you have to flog oh! He is the one wanting to sit up by himself for himself

Hunniesuzie free the young man jare! Just hold him up for a few seconds when he starts trying to sit up! Some boys are like that! My son did same

chychy4us:


Babies differ, my 14weeks old baby is also eager to sit, I just propped her up with pillows, she has steady head control, she can sit unsupported for at least 15secs. If she is in sitting position and u lie her down, she will scream until I put her back to her position. As a mum I pity her so I don't over do not in order not to strain her back. Maybe she wants to follow in the foot steps of her elder siblings who started sitting at 4 months

prettmum:
I don't have eucalyptus oil but will get today. how best to dilute the oil. Thanks
