Anyone cold here?
Did it rain at your end?

So I av 2questions. My son weighed 6.4kg at 14weeks. Bet he's not looking chubby like that. I wonder if that is the expected weight of a baby at his age. Tho presently we are 4months old.

Again also he seems to be interested in whatever am eating.....is there any cereal he can take at 4months?

Thanks in anticipation of your kind responses.

I'll have to look for it then cos my nipples are constantly paining me now. He sucks one with force(i guess he is looking for the milk)and twirls the other with his fingers making both sore same time.

His sucking is mostly at bedtime and whenever he wakes to see the booby staring at him we co-sleep.

Ekene wan finish the breast before junior go come.

does it mean milk can dry up without weaning a child? I always think it will continue to flow as long as the child is still sucking.

I thought same too maybe it's the drugs I was on that month that caused it to dry.

But then the milk and breast don try 28 months of production and supply abeg make the breast rest before my Adanma comes

Bloomingbud:
Please my 11 weeks old daughter just won't take formulae she wants only breast milk, I was advised here to get other types and which I did but after first trial she won't take it again.
I'm so bothered right now cos I'm resuming work next week Monday. Been having issues with mil cos she wants us to force-feed her which I feel the baby might get used to and in turn cause problem when they start crèche.
Her twin bro takes between 75-100 mls which my daughter struggles with 25mls. Please what can I do about this

You can also try changing bottles cause some teats are more comfy than others.

Spotting was becoming a headache. I got tired and took it out. The hormonal or non hormonal IUD? I don't want to do anything hormonal again

Bloomingbud:


Thanks so much ma'am she takes breast milk but it's not enough for her cos they are two. I've tried Sma gold and lactogen (those are the one I can afford) but it's still same story. I've used Tommy tippee and a nameless bottle no changes, the only thing I've not tried here is syringe feeding.



She takes breast milk well but it's not enough, DH, SIL and different people have tried feeding and atimes we are so lucky she might just take very little. Now DH is joining Mil to say we should force-feed. I'll keep trying thanks ma'am.

Mama twins sorry about what you're going through. I also expereienced this with one of my twins around that age too. After trying all sorts like you did, my last resort was to get abidec. I was giving it to only the twin rejecting food and that helped him to eat whatever comes his way,no selection. That was what i did at that time when i was about resuming and it helped.

Good day mamas.. Quick questions.

Please is it normal for a baby (4months) to be loosing so much hair? Initially i thought its the johnson's baby oil i was applying on it that was making him lose the hair, i had to change the oil to appying ori(shea butter), but it didnt stop, then i changed to vaseline blue seal but he is still losing much hair. To make matter worse when he is so excited, his hands goes straight to his hair and he starts pulling them. I try my best to always take his hands off them and replace it with something else to play with. My baby is beginning to have almost a bald hair. My baby was born with so much hair and i mean so much . Hubby and I have full hair but i dont understand this one.

Please help me out. Is there something im not doing right. Thank you as i anticipate your candid answers.

Pele dear... IUD is non-hormonal

Hello mamas, my baby has refused to take breast milk since I started lactating she prefers the instant formula and she's just 2weks 5days. What can I do to make her sucks cos she's rejecting the breast. I'm a FTM

feddy27:


lol..I can imagine! this feeding thing ehnn...no need to stress it..they eventually get over it... I was just gisting my nanny this morning if she remembered how we suffered with food when my son started school...his teacher then (God bless her always), she had taught for 27yrs in that school would say to me, don't stress it..give him only what he likes and it was only rice he likes

she said give him today give him jollof, tmrw palmoil with mackerel rice, next day coconut rice...like that o...then she gives him milo and milk to drink everyday...dat was it o! the boy was well nourished. then too I also ensured he ate one egg every day

looking back now, there is nothing he does not eat today! asin school meals are no longer a problem for me cos anything you give him, he brings back an empty flask! his appetite is so big now... I'm just excited jare

so mamas, don't sweat feeding issues...find whatever they like and give them in variety of ways

If Moyo can turn to a certified foodie, then I know there is any hope for a picky eater.

the one you are holding is what I bought here too.. it's ok

Thanks mama. I’ll buy the whole set cos my mind is there already

Could be his soap or shampoo. Most fake shampoos pull hair out.
It could also be as a result of his pulling on his hair. Wear him mittens or caps (when its cold) or just plait the hair (if you don't mind) another option is to kukuma barb the hair as na boy.

It happens early with some babies. At least it happened with my 2nd. At 3 months she lost all the hair around here edges( not just the front) and it didnt start growing back until she was almost 1.
Babies would loose some hair at some point before they are 2 years old even if you don’t cut it.
