lol... Mine refused d breast totally... Into exclusive pumping n breastfeeding... I stopped d formula cs my milk keep flowing lik river.

mine doesn't seem enough and the pain on my nipples when she sucks scares me to feed frequently especially when she is very hungry because she just woke up, she would bite and suck with anger��

kokaiye:
pls can i ask wat u were feeding her for dt 3days u were not lactating cs same happened to me n i panicked dt e mayb starving n den started givin him formula in which e took but wen i started lactating e refuse direct breastfeedin which made me start pumping breastmilk into bottle for him till date.

Hello mama, were you giving baby the formular with a bottle? Newborns who are initially fed with bottles tend to refuse direct sucking since it’s easier to suck from bottle than the breast. The milk comes out easily from the bottle, compared to the breast which they have to suck out themselves. The best practice is to feed with cup and spoon. Even the nurses in my CS recovery ward kicked against the use of bottles.

This is very correct. We used syringe while at the hospital or spoon. They didn't didn't allow bottle feeding at all.

Please mothers is it wrong to give babies below 3months water, I know medically it's wrong but my mother and mother-in-law has been on my neck to give water mainly because I'm using formula and also breastfeeding the baby.

Since you are giving formula, you have to give water to avoid constipation. If you were giving only breastmilk, there wouldn't be any need for water.

my husband is scared of the idea of water his doctor friend said it worsens colic in baby and causes the baby to fall sick in the nearest future but I gave my first son water very well before he was 6months. I don't know why doctors keep saying water is dangerous for a baby that is not up to 6months

Do exclusive breastfeeding so you dont have to give water then.

No doctor will tell you not to give water to a mixed or formular fed baby.
Doctors only advocate for no water on exclusively breastfed babies.
Breastmilk contains a high percentage of water and nutrients to sustain a baby for the first 6months of life. Breastmilk isnt "heavy" thats why mothers are advised to breastfeed on demand or every 2 hours. The baby’s stomach at that time is still very small so giving water means taking up space for milk in the stomach thereby reducing the nutrients the baby should receive at each feed.

Hello dear,

If necessary you can give water . See attached guideline from the NHS UK on water .

Hello Mamas ..my 1year old has been having rashes on the head for some weeks now but boils are coming out too from different parts of his body..they said it's heat but I've used moju but it's not going.

Good day to all the mamas in the house, first I want to say this forum is so helpful and has been so helpful to me since the day I joined in and I’m so thankful for you all. I have a second baby that’s 3 months and My Brest is not producing as much milk as when I gave birth to my first baby, I have had surplus tea and pap and still comes out normally and not the way I want it to. I love breastfeeding my baby and don’t know what to take to make it produce much more milk. Please I’d appreciate it if there’s something I can do. Thank you and God bless you…

I think mama Kokaiye used fenugreek supplements and it worked. Maybe you should try that

Good evening mums my baby is 3weeks old and she has been having rashes right from when she came out, especially on her face and neck which is beginning to irritate her skin, I have tried stopping using soap for a while it didn't go, I heard sudo cream works but it bleaches, please what can I use that won't darken or affect her skin.
