Thank God be strong mama ur baby is fine

oamronnie:






Thank you mamas. They checked everything and he seems fine. He has also called down and is playing and feeding well now. They are still observing him though. Mama zaynie, I wish I has thought of the running water or paracetamol before rushing to the hospital. D kain money wey these people don collect for dis recession, ehn! I just weak. Anyways, the important thing is LO is fine now.

eksbabe:
Hello mamas, good morning.
Since my baby's cord fell off last week, his belly button has looked like this. I wanto know please if it is healing or its not cuz i'm a bit worried.

What have you been using on it? This is what happens when the cord is forced to fall if menthylated spirit is not used. But if dats not the case,pls continue to use ONLY menthylated spirit.

I got Chlorxy-gel from the hospital that was prescribed by the doctor to be used once daily after cleaning with methylated spirit and thats all i have been using.

Had this same issue with my ds
Infact we were on our third bottle of spirit when I got fed up. Its not Ur fault
Its called umbilical cord granuloma. U can Google it. Just apply clean table salt a pinch on it for a few minutes after his bath then wipe off repeat in
d evening before d end of the second day it shld be off.

Ok, Should have just stuck to the old way of cleaning it i.e with spirit as often as possible but i was told with the Chlorxy-gel i only needed to clean once. I'll continue with the spirit now sha, thank you.

While i was checking for what the navel should look like after the cord falls off, i came across this umbilical cord granuloma and the name alone scared me sef cuz it sounded like one serious disease. Was just hoping it wasnt it. Thanks for the reassurance. I hope the salt treatment has no side effects to it?

Left to me I wouldn't want him to take the needles ooo, how can it make my calm and talkative baby quite and all fussy for 2days and to say he didn't react when he was given d injection it was later in d evening the drama started yesterday own got me worried he won't let me drop him. For a. Min even when he fall asleep in my hands I would be like ope ooo finally he don sleep let me slowly lay him down as soon as his back is on d bed his eyes will just open like torch and he would start crying like say I pinch him am so happy he's back to his normal sef today

Seems my baby and yours react to immunizations the same way.

queensnow:
have u taken d 14wks? I need review pls

the needles were three this time. Two on one leg and one on the other yet it's been the easiest so far. No fever at all. Her temperature never went up. She wasn't too fussy and at night she laughed and played so much we were wondering if the immunization got her high it was so difficult to put her to sleep cuz she was so hyper. I gave her paracetamol immediately after the injection tho and I gave every five hours two more times cuz in between the playing she wud just start crying randomly like she was in pain

came back home just now from our 14 weeks immunization, no fever, no crankiness, just a lil bit dull, I have not given her paracetamol...

mama please oo, my Enny suddenly refused to take formula since 3 weeks ago but she prefers expressed breast milk in bottle, please how do I do it? she is going to daycare in 2 weeks time and I am resuming work by September 4...I don't know how to pack her feeds, I can't leave her starve, my work is not baby friendly..... pls e dakun epp me

Lol@serious disease
It's nothing serious just that the cord didn't fall of completely
Its not really known y it happens to some babies but its quite common
Another option is silver nitrate but it has to be applied by a doc.
I was more sceptical than u oh but very desperate lo was getting to two months and was on my third bottle of spirit. I just prayed n boughta fresh sachet of salt applied that morning briefly then wiped it off it didnt even sting as I tot repeated it in d evening by night it had dried up and by d following morning d navel had closed up completely.
Google

Google granuloma and salt you'll see a lot of reviews about it

Its cuz she's seeing a better option closeby give someone else to feed her and keep trying or you can buy an electric breast pump and express more if you have the means of storing it or the energy.

I have gone gangsta on her but she refused... I am thinking of changing her formula, she takes Nan, I don't know if I should change to aptamil and see if she likes it

lool nan or Nancy. Don't go gangsta yet. Try always giving her the milk when she's not hungry just to first get her used to the taste. I'm also trying to get my baby to take breastmilk from a bottle. She accepts it more when she's not hungry but I was thinking it would be the other way round

Na to carry myself go there tomorrow. My daughter will be 15m soon and the hospital she's using is still turning me around
