Good day mama's, please Wat do u use for baby' navel after the umbilical cord has falling off so it can dry fast

I used chlorhexidine gel for my son, and it works well i actually prefer it to spirit cos it seals the navel from external contamination and keeps it dry

Momma in the house, pls my babe refuse to take any food after 6 months of EBF.... How do I make him take other things,... I tried giving him nutribom and even pap...

This was my son too, but he now takes his tombrown pap well, patience and consistency is key. I also tried that nutribom rice but that thing was too sweet that i stopped it for him.

Just keep giving him the pap and still continue breastmilk, he would take it eventually. Please whatever food you are introducing, don't give up make sure you give him everyday like 2ce a day, with time he would get use to the taste and enjoy taking it

all the best mama

I need help ooo. 2 weeks old baby's umbilical cord has refused to fall and is even having little blood and yellow discharge. We have been cleaning with spirit more than ten times a day!! What do we do again??

Hello mama, hope there is improvement since your last comment, though at our post-natal classes they hammer it in our ers that it can sometimes take up to 28days for the cord to detach and heal, but there must be no discharge or foul smell whatsoever, so like the mama previously said take him to the hospital

You know what they say about babies changing? Welcome to another phase mama. You'll have to endure it and yes, your LO is perfectly fine(he'll change again).
You're even lucky, mine would sleep throughout afternoon and not even close eyes in the night till around 5 or 6am. As a ftm, I was so tired I think I fell into depression sef. My baby cried for as long as I don't carry him and in the night o.

I swear motherhood is no joke, pele sis

that's why i sometimes agree with when people say sleep when baby sleeps, so that ones mental health will be intact but it is not usually realistic cos it is when baby sleeps you will take care of yourself and the house small.

Pele sis, the Lord is your muscle

Please I want to ask a very simple and straight forward question.
When is the best time to introduce pap to a baby?

NB: We're almost three months old and we intend stoping EBF once we hit three months.

Please kindly advise us on the best time to start. We're ain't in a hurry at all. I wish I don't have to start. Lol grin

I was asked to bath him normal after it. But to use cotton wool and plain warm water to dab around the area to remove any left over soap, same as after each nappy change to remove urine around the area. I applied penicillin afrerwards, though the hospital said i shouldn't apply anything

I dont know about the gluing sha as it didn't happen for us. I know some people use both though. The penicillin is to avoid infection

At our 6 weeks appointment pediatrician recommended using cotton wool and water wrapped around a finger to wipe baby's tongue and to exercise caution so you don't leave lint in baby's mouth

At the sight of a tooth we switched to the silicone mouth cleaner still with water only

Please use soap as usual, vaseline is okay and you can also use penicillin it helps to heal faster, we were advised to wrap the pen nis with penicillin and cotton wool at every diaper change, pele mama this phase will soon pass

I remember my son's circumcision, the ring didn't fall off and I had to take him to the matron at the hospital to take it out cry cry cry Haa my son cried no be small but we thank God that's in the past now

There are wipes to clean baby's gum in the market. You can use that. Wrap around your finger to clean the tongue.
That's what I use for my baby when his Paediatrician said it can build up to cause a fungal infection.

dear mama, one of the side effects of clomiphene is that it dries up the cervical mucus. Have you done any test to know exactly what you are treating. Tests like hormonal profile, hsg and pelvic scan are basic ones you have to do if you have been trying to conceive for a while. Also there is a TTC thread you should join to learn more, some of us were once there before God answered us and I believe you will soon testify.
