Madan Nef, i caught u oooo. U didnt drop ur BS b4 joining dis thread, oya come and drop BS for us oo

RashMe:
Mamas in d house, pls what could cause my 3months old DD to be sticking out her tongue?? B4 it was just d tip and she closes up when she s asleep but since 2days ago she has been sticking everything, i tried forcing her to close it but she eventually sticks everything out

I think they are just discovering they have a part of the body called tongue. My 3 month old son does the same and in fact I was kinda looking forward to it cos my nieces and nephews did the same. I may be wrong sha

Good morning wonderful moms,

Aptamil
Cow and gate
SMA gold
I'm having a hard time choosing and will appreciate ur constructive ideas. Also I will like to know the cereals u use for ur baby.
Thanks.

marygold:
Mama's,
How are we doing?We just collected our 6th week immunisation.Someone scared me on my way back by telling me she does not give her children immunisation becos it causes SID(sudden infant death).
Abeg ooo.I have never heard this part o.

Hian! There is no specific cause of SIDS...It is just like colic....many things can lead to it. It would have been a different thing if ahe said Autism....but SIDS...mba!

Please keep your kid away from her. Its people like that who have kids that end up emdangering the life of other kids. A woman lost her 3mth old to chicken pox abi na whooping cough...all because she was exposed to kids that were not vaccinated. Where I stay, they are making it a law for childcare centres to refuse to admit kids who are not vaccinated.

For realz

Thanks Nita2013 and kaffy4bill on your experience with tommy tippee teat. Each time i use it for my 3months old son, he keeps pushing it out or is it me that can't use it? Or is it that its too soft/hard for him? Maybe i should try the momma feeding bottle. Please how much does it go for? Thanks.

Tomme tippe is silicone teat and it's soft enough, as Nita2013 rightly pointed out it caves in during feeding cos its soft.....so imagine smt softer dn that.
Has ur baby bn using a bottle before? Or are you just introducing it?

FexCathy:

I also sterilize everything that goes into his mouth. After giving ur LO the zinc, did it stop?

Pls at that age, ur baby shd get half tablet (10mg) once per day for 10-14 days. Only babies 6m+ can take the full tablet per day.
I used it too and it worked.

He uses the bottle once in a while. i want to be giving him everyday to get him use to it. i guess i have to execise patience. Thanks.

Tommy Tippie and Medela are quite soft and tend to collapse. Dr Brown's is slow flo and and very well recommended.

Thanks @OmogeNG.... Wat abt cereals. Abeg I'm a ftm and I want to get it right the first time.

@shndy....my lo's tooth is now visible o...gradually coming out....

My advice to nursing mother;make sure you breast feed your baby for the first six months. Exclusive breast feeding makes your baby healthy and strong. Each female breast contains 15-20 groups of milk secreting glands, connected to the nipple by the milk ducts. During pregnancy, the placenta and ovaries secret high levels of the hormones estrogfen and progesterone,which stimulate the glands to produce colostrum. Colostrum provides your baby with tater,protein,sugar,viitamin,mineral and antibodies to protect him again infection. The production of colostrum ceases, and that of milk begins about 3-5 days after the baby is born.
