Hello mama's, please is it normal for baby to feel restless whenever she wants to sleep? My baby is a month and one week old but anytime she is ready to sleep, she will be grunting and twisting her body even when breastfeeding her until I back her.

my own just started dis style lol.

MummyNeto:
i wish my twin can do same, they have rejected bottle and prefers breastfeeding, even though we started with bottles right from the hospital, they keep wasting milk, I’m just tired

waawu!!!

Layormiii:
they wrote baby premium manual breast pump on it

ok

Hi moms, it’s been a minute.

How’s the family and LOs doing? Omo, I’ve been MIA here and I’m so happy to be posting again. Though I’ve been a nairalander for a while, I’m yet to understand how PMs and Emails work here. I mean, they say I’ve got emails but I can’t see any in my box.

Ah well... please moms, who has contact of a serious minded, result oriented, speech and language therapist? My DS is now 3.7years with no much improvement. I need a therapist that’s knows how to get results in a short time. Affordable too�... Mom Sugarh, 2funkky, and others with same challenges then, how’s things now? I wanted to start a thread on this but I don’t know how. A journey we weren’t prepared to take.

It’s sad how NEEDS are now soo expensive.

Am located at Awoyaya, Lagos.

Hello!!!

Please help a worried mum. I'm 3weeks postpartum(CS) and my tommy is still very big. I stopped taking warm water 3days back. Should I continue drinking the warm water?
Please what else can I take to reduce it.

Thank you

Biko how long did it take you to stop using plaster and all.

The plaster was removed on the 5th day and the stitches on the 7th day. The cite is sealed up and looking like an old wound already

oh woooow. Yours healed so fast I am so jealous.. please give me tips. 14days now and we still dey wear plaster

Omakraid:

Haa, how have you been coping? My baby feeds from my breast but once in a while I express in a bottle and give her so that it won't be difficult when we want to start bottle feeding

they latch at the same time, one on each breast, then they take formula when extremely hungry.

hope you are taking vitamin c? before you go for your 6 weeks check up it might heal up. Just take things easy so it doesn’t open up. I removed the plaster on my own to allow air in, start at night, clean it with moko spirit and wear a clean gown, you can wear plaster during the day then remove it at night, this was what a matron told me when i had my first surgery so i did same after my cs.

Layormiii:

Didn't do anything special o. I think the drugs and injection that I was given helped a lot.

Kudos to you mama ejima.. Its not a small job you are doing?

My plaster was removed on the second day to allow air in.. I don't understand why you should still have the plaster on you at 2 weeks as plaster makes wounds look fresh.. You should have started cleaning with spirit and allowing air reach the spot. Maybe you should try talking to them

Hi mama, I'm 6 weeks post partum and I still take warm water. What I noticed is that anytime I take the water my body expels blood but any day I don't, I dont expel blood so I would advice you keep on with it... I also heard EBF helps flatten the tommy though I don't know how true it is but please don't tie it...

If after every every, your tommy still doesn't go down, just love yourself like that.. Its not easy to walk that journey with a full human in there..

I think 2 weeks is too long to be wearing and bathing with plaster still on... It will make the site look fresh

I can’t say if hot water helps. But I do know breastfeeding helps. The uterus contracts as you breastfeed. Infact the contractions can really be painful during the 1-2week pp.

DNA also plays a role. Did u have flat tummy before pregnancy? If yes, then your likely going to get it back to that or somewhat close to flat eventually with little or no physical effort. Generally try not to worry much. Breastfeed often and just let your body heal gradually. You can start waist trainer, exercise, etc about 5-6months pp.

Your body is perfect. You housed a whole human being for 9months in there. Be kind to your body naaa... it needs time.

Mama, I observe that too. After 6 days the blood stop and I was happy. Only for me to drink warm water, I started seeing blood again which lasted for 3 weeks. Mama is blood still coming out at six week because I have stop warm water at 5 week . How is LO?

LO is fine ma, hows LO too? Mine is still coming out oo, sometimes it stupid the morning and strata in the afternoon or evening.. I'm still taking it though..

Immunisation is not for the faint-hearted oo... After our 6 weeks immunisation yesterday, our body has not been the same and my DDs temperature rise in the midnight and till now its still very high... I've given her paracetamol and I'm ensuring she's not dehydrated, what else can I do to keep the pain low Someone advised we massage the legs yesterday so it won't swell but I told my mum we ain't massaging anything, i hope i didn't do wrong?

No you didn’t. Absolutely refrain from massaging it or applying ice block. The cool water that runs over the lap during bath is ok. Massaging can lead to lump and subsequent abscess formation. That penta vaccine is painful but you don’t want to go through abscess drainage with your LO. It’s heart shattering, I kid you not!

Your already doing great. Be untop of the paracetamol administration. Don’t wait for the fever to pick up before you administer. Just do so every 6hrly at the most, carry, cuddle and soothe DD through it. Try not to shake the leg as much. That Penta is brutal honestly. Poor babies.

Pls is there anywhere they do Circumcision without pain in Lagos? That wan too is not for faint hearted.

LO is fine. I have started seeing whitish discharge that we do see before ovulation and before period. I hope it is normal oo.

I did not massage my baby own. I only gave him only paracetamol morning, afternoon, evening and midnight around 1am. I tried not to put pressure on the legs by making him stand until he started kicking bed and me. Then I know that the leg is fine. Don't worry she will be fine

Thank you ma.. She's throwing the legs gradually and her temperature is getting better too. Thanks for the advice..

I don't have a boy yet but I know circumcision is not beans... Mothers are not the weaker vessel as claimed but the stronger ones... I also don't stay in Lagos but a good general hospital around you should do or probably the hospital where you put to birth

She's getting better, thank you ma.. Thinking of how she'll got through same at 10 and 14 wks respectively but it is well
