That's wat Igbos call it.. She said it's preventing her from adding weight and makes her eat too often.It also makes her cry frequently and sleep less. A spot close to her forehead is pressed down too. She said we will take her to these native people for them to treat it.

Giddyperson:

A sunken fontanelle (the spot close to her forehead) could be a sign of malnutrition or dehydration. Please feed her as often as she would like to be fed, she might just be a foodie. If you can't keep up with the breastmilk then use formula. If you think she's not ok please take her to a hospital, no native doctor things

ambient:
My baby has have three convulsions in 24 hours we are at the hospital but the doctors are not acting worried. So scared.

ciscamustexcel:
stress causes pain at the incision spot. It is advised not to lift anything heavier than your baby for at least the first few weeks. And also the way you stand up from your bed can contribute to the pain. Make sure you turn to your side b4 u stand up from your bed.
. make sure you are not putting belt head or a tight waist band on the incision point cos I almost fainted some few days back for doing that.
. if u are not guilty of any or all these and you are still feeling pains consult your doctor.

Giddyperson:
no be only fall your hand. Your breast nko

Cappo don't mind her am behind her already with triplet dust @hunniesuzie

But seriously their is something like nnta, oyibo calls it dehydration but that tin fit cause harm if not properly looked into.

My first had it and we were busy doing oyibo oyibo its his nature, till it got to a point I almost losed him. Ajii nkita (dog hair) like they call it was coming off his body when you bring him out to the sunlight immediately we started trado treatment and within a month, he became very robust.

Bikonu can I give vitamin C to my baby every blessed day for two months. I've given her the whole of one bottle and I'm wondering if it would be too much to buy another bottle. There are two kids around that seem to have chronic cough and catarrh, and the vitamin C is our only hope of not catching it.

My daughter is also on Nan1 and it's really good. Meanwhile, when can we upgraded to Nan2 Biko. She will be 2 months on Tuesday the 3rd

Naomi14:
Ma'am, please how long does 1tin and 1cartoon last?

Trendytessy:

I think it's dehydration cos since we started d water yesterday she's been sleeping well and no cries. MIL invited a relative to check her today and the woman said it hasn't reached the "nnta" level that's it isi nkuwa(I'm not sure if that's wat she called it). she said we should give my DD enough water and the sunken fontanelle will cover up. In all, no need for any native therapy. Thank God for that.
I want to start her on NAN1 formula I hope it's ok.. the price range will be appreciated.

About the pains I'll go easy on my self. Hopefully it will subside before my 6weeks checkup.
Thanks everyone

This should depend on how often and what quantity ur baby eats

hunniesuzie:
From what you describe it seems the BM alone wasn't filling her up. Instead of plenty water give her formula to support your BM. Don't stop the water sha but give water to support milk, not as a meal on its own. Nan is good, that's what my baby takes, other mamas have said the price

Trendytessy:


MIL has convinced hubby not to allow us give her formula.. said her brain is still tender. DH is now saying if I'm already tired of breastfeeding his baby.
That aside how do I stop MIL from using Vaseline to "shape/press down" my DD's vagina. She is saying it's will make her not to follow boys (abeg is this not circumcision in disguise). I asked her to apply the Shea butter mix only she said we'll still be applying the Johnson's lotion in the morning so her skin will be soft.. Hmmm
I think I'll be the one dressing her after her bath o cos I don't understand again. Any tactics will be welcomed

Naomi14:
How did you make it?

Lol. My baby took formula from day 2. He's 7 months old now and is growing better than expected. I have to be honest with you, if your baby is dehydrated as described, it's not water alone she needs it's more food. Some mothers can't produce enough BM for the baby, that doesn't mean they are tired or lazy, it's just what it is, and what's important is that your baby is satisfied, whether BM or formula. You need to either talk to your husband as you are both primarily responsible for your child or look into increasing your supply with plenty pap, tea etc

I don't have the grace to address the "moulding" of vagina this afternoon biko, I haven't eaten and my blood is already boiling, Naomi14 has given good diplomatic advice

Ma'am, please how long does 1tin and 1cartoon last?

jazzyjazz:


Well a tin used to last for a week in my house. Now it lasts for 4 days
It's 12 tins in a carton. And I think how long it lasts depends on how many tins is consumed per week

So we tried the baby Okro soup today and she took it quite well.
I cooked Okro with ground crayfish, Titus fish and tiny palm oil. I 'blended' the soup with a blender after cooking so it's easy for her to swallow as she never get teeth.

In other news, Removing bones from Titus fish no b small work o.... Dat ish took me like 35mins to do.
