i had one too. The doctor wanted to pop it back after delivery and i was already too tired of everything popping out and in so I was screaming leave it like that ooo. It was really painful that first week. Freeze a bag of satchetwater so that u would always have ice to place on it. Or do sitz baths with water from the freezer. They both feel so good. don't eat anything that would lead to straining while pooing and always wash with water after pooing. The pain and swelling would stop if you don't stress the area

Hyphee:


Really? No ice? It was even the pead that advised I put ice so that the swelling will go down, it is well o. I took her to the hospital cos of the pain and hardness, they had to do ultrasound of her thigh and they said everything is fine that with time the hardness will disappear but until now, it hasn't. The person that administered her 6 weeks was different from the 10 weeks own and still the same thing happened, that's why I'm worried.
Thanks so much for your response, I really appreciate.
NO ICE AGAIN

See a big dirt where?

It is impossible to see the inside of an ear (ear drum) without specialist instrument. If there's any ear wax that has pushed out to the outer ear, simply use a flannel or soft face towel and wipe the outer ear.

Check your pack of q-tips/cotton buds. The instructions on it are clear - do not insert in the ear.

If you are concerned about ear wax then take the child to the hospital.

Liftedhands is right. Never touch or rub or apply ice on the injection area. That was the instruction I was given at the hospital.

During bath time, do not do anything to the injection area. Do not massage with hot or warm or cold water. Just bath her as normal. Do not also check after a few days to see if the area is "hard". If it's swollen, it will be very visible to the eyes. A little swelling is normal but if it's really swollen or there's a discharge of pus, then take your child to the hospital.

Try this method this time (no touching, no massaging or ice) and see if it works. Give your baby paracetamol a few hours before she's immunised. Do not allow the nurse rub the injection area after administering the vaccine. All she is to do is apply a small plaster over the injection site (the plaster usually falls off on its own within a day).

Finally, if the swollen, pain and discomfort from the previous injection sites persists, then take her to another hospital to seek a second opinion. She might actually need mild antibiotics or a topical cream to apply on the injection area to get rid of the swelling and discomfort.

P.S. If I was in your shoes, I will take the child to a different hospital to get her followup immunisation. I won't be comfortable with the fact that it took weeks for the child to recover from the previous injections. Some unscrupulous hospitals are known to store the vaccines wrongly or administer expired vaccines.

This na A+ but .Pls can I feed my baby cereal fruit puree from bottle or It's just plate. Will start my baby on solid next month I am trying to decide on which formula for him. I suggested SMA gold but hubby with to the mail saw it and said its too cheap that he wants Aptamil or similac . He prefers similac but the trusted shop we can get it don't have . Is Aptamil better than cow and gate? How many cups of formula do babies take on the average in a month?

Giddyperson:
It shouldn't still be painful now if you're making sure he only sucks when the whole areola is in his mouth that way u would hardly feel a thing while he's sucking. Also try a nipple shield. Read a book. Watch a movie. Don't know about pap. I think three months. CC Zaynie

yummy! plz bluetooth my own so i can use garri

Hello mama, Pls send me a pm. I have a present for your daughter. She's my bday mate

helovesme:



What type of circumcision was done?

The modern ring method or the traditional method?

If it's the traditional method and you have any concerns, I will suggest you take him back to the hospital where it was done and seek the doctor's opinion.

Do not attempt to pull out the stitches yourself.

Keep using Vaseline though. It helps the area to heal and prevent skin friction with his diaper.

Please mamas help me torchlight this issue.

Had a discussion with my friends who are in US. I told her that my baby had stopped breastfeeding and he is currently on Cow and Gate 6 to 12 months. They have been trying to convince me that what we do in Nigeria is wrong. That the baby should be on the formula that says breastmilk substitute suitable from birth. That the formula is okay until 1 year old. That if you are breastfeeding, you don't suddenly change milk because the baby is 6 months that your milk remains the same. The only thing is to support by starting them on new foods or putting them on multivites.

They said that in US, infant milk is regulated so they are very careful. However, anything from 6 months or stage 2 or whatever, is the company's own way of promoting their goods, is not regulated and may contain a lot of additives that's why babies usually have runny stools when they change to the stage 2 milk. And it's not even formula anymore but a kind of follow on milk.

I did some Googling and realised that a lot of people seem to think so. I don't know if it's just paranoia or it's real. Please help me, i am about to buy another carton and it's not cheap. Or should i go back to his milk for hungrier babies?
