My son got the plastibell. On the first day, it was swollen but not outrageously and the nurse told me to watch it that if it gets bigger or if i notice the ring is really tight, i should come back to the hospital immediately.

Since we can't see to ascertain how swollen it is, pls go back to the hospital or ask an experienced mama around u.

All the best.

Please, did your son cry a lot too. We had our procedure about 6 hours ago. He did not cry initially. He started crying (high pitched cry) about 2 hours ago and just slept off. Is this normal with the plastibell? Could it be that the ring is too tight?

I am typing in tears Ma. Please respond.

Other sabi Mamas should please chook mouth.

Totally normal. Circumcision is very painful but by tomorrow he would be better. No baths for today.

Giddyperson:

Pele, cattarh is one terrible sickness. GB had it as a newborn too. You'll have to really convince a doctor if not its vitamin C and dismissal. Next time you go, tell them you came to run test for infection cuz of 2 week cattahr. If the test comes out positive they would prescribe safe antibiotics for her age, if there's no infection, then you'll just have to continue home remedy until it abates. Please no self medication, your baby is still too young.

Okay thanks momma

Asey:
My sisters please help ooo.

I need a little clarification.

1. I want to know if it's true that dropping breastmilk on a baby's eyes makes the eyes white and guards against infections.
NB: Baby's eyes has no problem.

2. Also, how true is it that dropping breast milk on a baby's circumcised penis will make it heal fast.


Mother -in-law feels it's the best and I have to do it.

Please advice

Haaa God!Bm that is food !Its false pls.
They also said drop on the nails to soften n break it instead of cutting it.

It will remsin to bath them with it.

Thank you sis.
I pray for knowledge to cope with this situation.

[the breast milk on the nails to soften it is true i do that often and for the eyes own i have also done that for two of my kids but for the circumcision, i don't know. I used olive oil very 4 hours until it healed. quote author=LadySarah post=84308443]

We are 3 weeks old today
My baby is literally glued to my boobs all day and night
I am just wondering if this is what it is supposed to be.
I have tried to express so I can get a little rest from non stop breastfeeding but I am not really getting much. I do think I am unable to get much milk due to the pump I am using cos when baby is sucking, you can hear her swallowing like she gulped a gallon of water and when she removes her mouth, you’d see milk leaking.

I am just physically exhausted and tired

I just need reassurance that this phase of non stop feeding will pass.

If you can't cope please buy formula, cuz they would suck more as they grow older. Or you buy a good electric breast pump, and start pumping religiously. Me I did EBF without breast pump and i had to breastfeed every 45mins-1 hour. Sometimes they can as far as two hours if you're not home but anything more you'd come home to a wailing baby. Long story short, if your baby has a big appetite, EBF would feel like you spent an entire 6 months doing nothing but breastfeeding, unless you get a good breast pump.

Also since you're sure she's getting enough milk, its not every time she cries that she needs to be breastfed, sometimes just let her dad or someone else carry her.

Mama, sorry about the exhaustion. There's no assurance that it gets better because as they grow bigger they eat more.

I did ebf, and what worked for me is to feed immediately after I've eaten. I don't feed him when am hungry because it's a waste of time, he will keep sucking and will not be filled. This makes my boy gets filled within 10mins. The challenge is that breast milk digest easily which makes them go hungry quickly.
If it's exhausting substitute with formula or buy a good electric breast pump. So your baby don't go hungry and you can also have time to rest.

Giddyperson:

Does she go to creche. Keep her away for a while and the cough would disappear.

No ma she doesn't.

Pele mummy. It will pass eventually. Hope breastfeeding him isn't painful for you. Eat well, rest as much as you can (sleep when he is sleeping) and if you have someone helping you try to make out time for yourself.

Seeing as they can only take breast milk and formula, I don't think there's much to do except feed regularly. Let me tag liftedhands, there's the other mama i'd like to tag but her moniker is not coming to my head now.

A'm good ooo. We will be 6months Dec 1. I started giving her rice and oat gerber cereal at 4months but stopped and continued with pap. She will take oat cereal at 6months continuously. I give her fruit puree and I introduce small egg yolk yesterday to her. At 6momths I will mix the egg yolk with her pap. I also her pudding. Egg custard pudding, cream porridge (she no like this one) blend rice and banana and add milk and give her. Blend egg yolk and Avacado and give her.

You must not start with cereals. And even if you want to start with cereals, then buy one at a time. E.g, buy cereals and wait for her to finish it, and if she seemed to like it you can buy it again, and if she didn't, you can try a different one. Don't start off with three different brands at once unless you like to eat baby food

You can also just ignore cereals and start with purees and semisolids, blended bananas, Irish potato purees, boiled and blended apple. There's an nl thread for baby food, search 'baby foods thread nairaland' on Google and click on the first result.

I have electric double pump but I just feel it’s not working well
Will most likely order another one
Thanks. I just needed to hear that this is normal
I plan to try EBF till 3months since my maternity leave is almost a year

My dear, I can totally relate with having no help
I was all myself by 2nd day post delivery although I had a VD but it was tough... could barely sneak out to bath and use the toilet.

I have genuinely contemplated giving formulae but I am just hanging on and hoping it gets better otherwise I will add formulae by next week. At least, I have tried for a month

The pain is on and off... I think it’s got to do with poor latching but we are getting a hang of a good latch now
As for help, it just me and hubby, and hubby no get booby na so I am kinda hmmm.... it’s well.

Wow... You just inspired me.. Am also working on making pap myself for her and possibly mix bm to make it tasty.. I will try this combination too.. We'll possibly start one food for a 4days or a week then I will see how she respond to them... Though she seems to be eager already... Always looking at me or anyone while eating lol

Give pre_nan it's a formula for low weight babies. Give her till she's at least 2.5kg before going to nan1 or any other formula. At 1.5kg her system needs delicate milk that she can easily absorb to gain weight in addition to breast milk.
