Thank God that it worked. You can buy a dehumidifier if you are boxed up. It will reduce it a lot. Since I got it, I have been sleeping easier.

Pls what brand did you buy and where did you buy it from? Also price?
Hope you don't mind sharing

Catarrh is back again

Tnx

I've always wanted to talk to us about education insurance but tiredness to type.

For bank accounts, don't expect much. I use Gtb and first bank for my kids. I had to close my son's Diamond bank acct when they kept pestering me to get a [b]Nigerian birth certificate [/b]which I didn't see right to get.

Go ahead, open a bank account but also endeavor to get an education insurance
Ohh!!! We got one for our baby ohh. Thanks

I bought it on Jumia. It is a generic brand. No brand name. I bought the 1.5L size. It was about 20k. They also had the 500L for about 11k.

You can put it near her bed. It makes a slight humming sound which can be soothing or unnerving depending on her disposition.

Stressful is an understatement. I've not slept in days and he's been hanging on to me.
They poked him so many times before they finally found a vein on his foot.

He's back to his active self again. Thank God

Sorry o mama. It is well with him. Being a mum is not an easy job .

Good evening y'all.
I would like to appreciate all super mama on this thread, I pray God bless each and every one of us and make us reap the fruit of our labour.

I actually stumbled upon this thread while searching for what to use for my 5months 2wks old, she is suffering from catarrh, (congested nose) n her breathing isn't that smooth.

I've Bn to private hospitals, but all to no avail. So I decided I visited general hospital.

I was there, and the doctor prescribed
a) PIRITON
b) PARACETAMOL
c) ORS
d) VIT-C

But even after the medication, I saw no changes.
I had to go back there n these are what they prescribe.
a) ZINNAT
b) PIRITON
c) BRONCHOLYTE (Bromhexine hydrochloride)

But mamas those are to finish tomorrow and my baby is still suffering from this catarrh.

Pls, y'all should pity a first time mother, I don't know what to do again.
I do massage her with hot water.
Never have she bath with cold water.
I don't expose her chest or body at all.
I do switch BTW silverbird n menthylatum when applying on her Fontanelle.
She does not have hair, so she is mostly on cap.
Always on socks.

Note: I stopped giving her vit-c when she started pooing.

I still have questions concerning her meals. But this is more important for me now.

God bless as I await your response.
Thanks

@oloriabefe, are u sure ur baby is hasn't developed allegies? The cattarah, is it all day long or as certain times of the day and at certain places? Do u use creche as some children dey carry their own spread to others as baby got it from them? How dust proof is your room? Rugs, Ac vent, adjoining toilets? Although if it were allergies piriton and loratadine could have reduced the symptoms although continuous exposure to d allergies won't ensure total cure of the cattarah. Pending total correct diagnoses, u could apply 2drops of saline water on each blocked nostrils to decongest. Its well, cheers.

Jazzyjazz, may God heal your baby.

Get a saline nasal spray. It comes either as drops or a spray. I feel the spray is easier to use though but some prefer the drops.
If you see the catarrh is dry and thick, use the spray, it helps soften it up and it will be easier to either suck out or just help moisturize inside the nostrils.

You can get olbas oil, ( it is more efficient than plain eucalyptus oil(silverbird)
There is olbas for babies and the normal olbas. The one for babies is much milder. But a few drops on her bib or on her clothes - do not put directly on her skin.


Menthylatum, (, i dont know how strong the one you have is but if it is not a baby grade one, i will suggest you dilute with shea butter and rub on her chest, back and on the soles of her feet.

You can also add a TINY bit with some shea butter and rub ON her nose across the nostrils and from forehead down to the tip of her nose. Please do not put anything apart from the nasal spray in to her nostrils.

You can do a bit of steam inhalation with hot water and a few drops of eucalyptus oil.
Get help from your hubby or someone else to hold a wrapper or bed sheet over you, the baby and the bucket or bowl of hot water whilst doing the steam inhalation.

Or if you have running hot water, sit with your baby in the bathroom( may be on the toilet seat) and run the shower on the hottest setting so the bathroom steams up. The steam she inhales will help ease some of the congestion.

Try and keep her head elevated when she is sleeping it helps the congested feeling. For day time naps, you can let her stay in a bouncer or rocker. For night time, try elevating the 2 front legs of the crib.


Sorry there is no surefire cure, but these will help provide some relief.

Other things you can do is get hand sanitiser and use frequently and for other people that want to carry her either they go wash their hands or they use hand sanitiser. Also Limit access to other older but small children, as they can transmit all sorts of bugs from nursery, school and God knows where else.

Sorry ftm. Drs prescribe zinnat when pririton and vitc and other antibiotics doesn't work. Now that your baby has used zinnat and the running nose is still there pls stop all medications. Let it die a natural death and I bet you, in three days it will go. This was what I did and my kids running nose stopped in three days.

However, always dress yourbaby warmly, give warm water to drink.

If. You have palm kernel oil, rub his feet, head and chest with it morning n night, if you don't have use ori (shear butter). It's very good, my kids had the running nose when I stopped using it n since I resumed it. Nothing like it.

My observation though: frequent use of silverbird and menthylatum causes running nose. You might consider stopping it for a while.

I'm just kidding.. It happens, it might take a while for your period to become regular again. If your FP was hormonal, then it's the most likely cause.

Your b00by would be touching your toes by the time you wean your babies if you don't wear bra ooo.**i kid you**

Yes you should wear a bra and insert nursing pads to soak up the leak.....it's normal. The sucking effect sends a signal to your brain to produce milk, there's nothing you can do about it.
However, if you are good at multitasking and have a breastpump, you can pump the milk into a bottle so it's not wasting.
