From 0-3 month, it will heal d umbilical cord very well but not when d cord has not fallen o. It won't do ur baby any harm. At least our mothers did same thing for or and we r doing fine.

read back a few pages, the subject has been discussed before. Or search baby formula/milk on this thread some info will pop up.

Prices will vary from location to location too!

Just take your time to find what's convenient for your pocket and baby.

It came at 10mg each. So I inserted 2 of it. Preferably during d day so it doesn't disturb ur sleep at night.
For price, I can't tell cos DH got it while i ws still in d hospital. But it isn't expensive. Nt more than 200naira at most.

@ comtem2011 Thanks a lot Ma'am.I seriously pray she outgrows it soon.her umblicus have healed but there's one hard stuff around d umblicus is it something to worry about.it pops up wen she's crying or straining
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by favoredgal: 1:56pm On Mar 08, 2016
@Tatacherie it has nothing to do with the umblical chord. her digestive system is not yet developed fully, hence the body isnt processing gas well.

your baby is suffering from Colic . sadly, it has no cure. People say infancol and gripe water works, but it doesnt. Feel free to try it - God knows i did out of desperation when my first child almost drove me to the brink of insanity with her ceaseless cries.

Good news is it passes at three months / 12 weeks

What helped me manage it then was:

1. make sure your baby burps after all feedings - even if she isnt the type that burps easily, try try and try even if it takes as long as 30 mins

2. Does your baby have head control? can she turn her head when lying down? try putting her to sleep on her tummy - SUPERVISED (As in check on her from time to time to ensure her nose isnt blocked)

3. Watch your diet - eliminate beans and beans product, milk and dairy product, any other food that causes gas even in adult

BIG HUG - been there so i know how hard it can be but hang on ok?

what pops up around the umbilicus when she is straining is a hernia. she most likely has unblical hernia. dint they tell you this at the hospital? its nothing to worry about but seek reassurance from your doctor

Tank u very much, I will go and get it
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by tatacherie: 2:10pm On Mar 08, 2016
soonest:

While bathing her too, drop warm water in her anus, you will see her passing gas or even pooing. They feel relieved after that.
You may need to reduce eating foods dat cause gassiness eg. nuts, beans etc
You may need to get infacol, it's an OTC med for colic
Colic peaks as from 6wks of age and subsides before 4months of age.
All the best.
Thanks a zillion Ma'am.I will try these out.Godbless

@favouregal, what am saying is that as they are pressing and massaging the tummy it will heal from outside to inside. the navel use to pain them that's why they are crying cos the navel is attached with d intestine, so d place has to be massaged for quick relief. I also have a five months old baby and I know what am talking about. while I asked if d cord has fallen is to avoid infection cos it can be pressed while its still there. our parents did most of d things we are avoiding for us and we r doing fine.
