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.

Did my baby own at MCC Abraham Adesanya and my baby didn't cry much, not really painful though I gave him paracetamol as we gt home and datz all

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

Some ppl prefer using the plaster because of infection for instance, when mine was removed, a woman ask dat dey plaster her and she ll b coming for dressing every 2-3days. My plaster was removed and still not yt healed totally, intact I still feel pain in a syd of d CS area and abdomen start paining me too till I had to visit d hospital back. Visit Ur hospital back, dere shd b postnatal visitation for 6weeks or so. Always eat fruit too

Tomblessings:

It is well with me!

Don't worry ma, it will go down... When my mum was saying my tommy is big, I asked her if I had a flat tommy before except the tommy wants to be flatter than what it was..

Hello mamas,please help

In addition to the previous advice given, ensure you burp her after every feeding to reduce the gas in her tommy..
For the sleep, have you tried lying by her side and petting her while she sleeps?

Fenugreek?is it like a tablet or seeds? I am sorry for my ignorance.

Am enjoying this trend although just started following this trend, it's funny as a young couple of not up to 30 and we jst had our First son after marriage, its really turf because we refuse to take any house help because of different reason but so far the ride has been sweet except when he wake up at night to cry omo that part nor easy because he will disturb me and my wife sleep

Good evening mama's
I love the few things I've read on this platform, I just joined tho.
Please o I have a question, my baby is almost 15months and my Tommy still looks like that of 3 months pregnancy. I really wish to get rid of 10inches from what I'm seeing � �. Is it possible and how can I go about it please.

Oh yes!.. The sleepless nights. That is a rite of passage o. The best you can hope for is a swift “wake-up, fuss, feed, burp and sleep back” trend each time he wakes up. Stay strong dad, you’ll adjust and get better at it.

Was it flat before pregnancy? This too is a factor. Then have you tried the whole waist trainer and exercise? Though to see results would take a while, but I here it’s satisfying, without side effects and permanent in the long run. But more sabi mama’s would share their opinions.

Happy to see another young dad like myself here...
My son is 5months and 8days now, we went through this phase too and yes it was frustrating, but it's a rite of passage like the other person said...

Ours was tiring cos we have no help, we learn everyday on the internet and from family members (video calls etc)... What worked for me was; I'd bath for my son around 11pm, massage him with small Robb all over his body, give him to his mother for massive breast feeding. He'd fall asleep in less than 10mins (now here's the trick, while he and his mom are sleeping. I must have made his NAN, I take the night shift. So if I hear any small pim, I'd just feed him, and he's back to sleep, easy pizzy.. My wife's sleep improved, his crying reduced and I sleep in the morning

But bro, the truth is every month has different pattern lol.... But it's a beautiful experience all men should partake in, irrespective of how exhausting it can be... This is the only time they are our little muffins

Try intermittent fasting, then exercise, you will definitely see a difference

Mama Tomblessings, with time your tummy will go down. I'm a CS Mama too. Once your site is totally healed, and your doctor gives a go ahead, you can start using waist trainers/tummy belts, and other shapewears.

Start with light exercises. Taking walks helps greatly. My tummy is almost as flat as it was pre pregnancy, even though I didn't get the chance to use the gym, Trekking and intermittent fasting helped a lot

Kachifav:

Form the habit of gently removing the thumb from his mouth whenever you catch him sucking. Don't just allow him cos he is a baby. They are humans too and with time, he will get the message.
Same thing happened with my first. I kept removing it and talking to her until she stopped. Then she formed another habit of sticking out her tongue from her mouth. I kept closing it whenever I saw it and kept talking to her, then she stopped too. She was also 4 months then.
Do it gently/playfully and say stuff like "mummy doesn't like that or Good boys don't suck their thumbs" Forget they are babies, they listen especially to us their mothers....

Hi Papa, I think it’s better to use baby’s oil for the massage instead of robb. I’m not sure it’s advisable to use such for babies.

u r very CORRECT.. Rob is a big NO!!!

There are mild rub for babies, u can even put a few drops of silverbird liquid in the warm bathing water ,try late bath at night and the water should not be lukewarm...he will only wake up when hungry .

Get milk storage bags and bottles, bottle warmer. Thermal bags and there's this blue thing you pour water inside and freeze, then put in thermal bags when packing the stored milk.

Basically, you pump, label and freeze . When you're packing baby's bag for creche, pack the frozen breast milk into the thermal bag. Then instruct the carers to warm using the bottle warmer before feeding baby. Or just warm by placing bottle into warm/hot water.


Reach out to Mummy Zaynie - Nanasbabyessentials on Instagram, she has all of this in stock. And she will be of great help to you too

Battling reoccurrent cough, cold and catarrh for 2yr old. Tired of going to hospital and be given more and more drugs, that seem not curr it completely,

Is there a surefire way of treating this in toddlers, note we dont use AC, and fan is once in a while.
Learnt pineapple+honey+ginger juice works wonders, but the toddler is a picky eater, hence runs away from the juice.

First of all, do you over dress your toddler? Like try to keep them warm always?
See, I learnt this from my mum. Sometimes when you over dress a toddler, they sweat but can't and won't complain. This sweat soaks their clothes and still stays with them as the move or play around making them constantly cold within meanwhile giving you the impression they are warm.

Secondly, you need to go to the hospital and ask your doctor if they can run a culture test to pick out the particular bacteria causing this and handle it squarely.

Thirdly, children especially toddlers have a habit of reinfecting themselves cos of the hand to mouth contact. Make sure your floors are cleaned properly( try adding bleach to floor cleaning if you don't use it) and surfaces are dusted too to reduce such. Also be careful of the adults that come around your toddler. Relations also are another source of infection we overlook.

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
