I stayed with someone who ate it so religiously i was almost tempted to give it a try!

The cous cous I got sef na my dogs chop am last last.

One day I will be more experimental with food wink

Cous cous can be challenging if you want to eat like rice and stew.... it is a dish that needs a LOT of support.

I.e. you make like fried rice... AND.... you have a juicy sauce to go with it. I usually use lamb or goat meat to make my own version of tagine!
Any other way.... I might as well just drink garri! grin

Your dd is okay,yes it is normal.Feed her as many times she wants & then try burping after feeding.
Welcome to motherhood.

Seconded @ nnekaike.
Babies breathe fast. She's getting enough if not she will be cranky and be rooting for breast once carried.

For the feeding, as already advised express and feed either with bottle or spoon to see the quantity she can take .

Babies can be very efficient suckers so it may be nothing to worry about.

Also wake her up if she is sleeping. My rd was like that. 2 sucks and she knocks out...... shocked give her a gently tap when you see she is sleeping off or tickle her on her feet or sides or brush her cheeks to wake her


For the breathing, you can take her to see a peadiatrican, just to ease your mind.
however babies have a higher breathing and heart rate than adults. So it may be completely ok as long as her colouring is normal, you ensure there is adequate ventilation around her, She is sucking well and not showing signs of breathing difficulty like struggling to breath. Monitor her for a day or so before going to see your peadiatrician for the all clear. This way you can tell him in detail any symptoms you may have noticed.

Pele. Eku... motherhood!
thank you ma,motherhood is not easy but has an unexplainable joy.I do wake her o but she will not collect breast.I will start all you mentioned.her colouring is normal,I will observe again tommorow

Good evening mama's, please am a FTM
My Dd is 2weeks old.for 3 days now I have noticed she breathes fast,then breathes at normal pace,is it normal?,is that how babies breathe?. she makes this cranky sound too like some1 clearing chest. she sleeps a lot too(sleep will not allow her suck well),and when she wakes up to eat,she sucks for just 10/15(we are on EBF),am worried if she is getting enough from just 10/15 feeding.Mama's pls is her breathing normal,how do I know she getting enough breastmilk?.Am so worried.
CC.
All mama's.]

Babies have funny way of breathing o. Fast, fast, slow slow..... It even has a name sef. Can't remember.
About the breathing, some babies are noisy sleepers. I had same issue, went to the hospital, they said he was fine. So just to keep your mind down, you can check with your doc.

Teamie my twin girl and your daughter have so many things in common, we have been battling colic too and hubbys aunt who is a nurse said to use nospamin which I refused now it's causing wahala between hubby and I cause he feels I'm doing I too know more than old mamas, but my twin boy is not going through this at all.

Mamas please which is better between nan 1 and Sma gold cause I'm thinking of switching from nan 1 to Sma gold reason been that I discovered that my children turn and twist a lot after feeding these days don't know if nan 1 is the culprit though then my daughter is not gaining weight like her bro.

Still in feeding matter, like how many times should a 4 weeks old baby eat in a day? I feed my children on demand but at times I feel they are eating too much and they poo too much.

Please respond to a twin mamas worries.
sorry iya ibeji, may God see us through. its so surprising that your girl is colicky while the boy is OK. i heard its worse for boys than girls. Google has been my best friend for the past one month cause my baby too is extremely colicky. i bought Gripe water but i have stopped using it cause I didn't see any improvement. The method that has worked a big for my son is putting him to sleep on his Tummy. When he does, he belches loud, farts and sometimes pops, thereby reducing the gas in his system. Then burping is a must after every feeding. Its stressful though but won't trade the experience for anything.

i have also dumped NAN cause anytime my baby takes it, its as if he's tipsy or drunk and he doesn't poo. though still exclusively breastfeeding now, I'll hopefully get SMA or Aptamil before next week ends. May God make it easy for us

Please I need to know the side effects of giving formula. Let me explain.. I just started giving LO formula (nan) during the day and breastfeed at night. I noticed that he farts alot, and it smells then it's frequent and much .Is this normal or does it mean the nan is not going down well with him?
I try to give him water but he always responds with a bitter facial expression and pushes the bottle out with his tongue. How do I get him to take more water since he is taking formula?

Lol. smelly poo is the side effect, doesn't mean there's anything wrong so far the consistency is not watery
Don't stop giving water please, he will get used to the taste and start taking it. You can try giving him before food instead of when he's filled up

As the boy is rejecting water from the bottle, try and get a syringe as alternative to the bottle. Cos he needs the water whether he likes it or not.
