omogemi: Hello sweet, loving adorable mummies. I don miss una. How r ur cuties? @Jade how u dey. I too dey gbadun u 4 ds thread. As for d tube tying, have u tried making enquires with fertility clinics.

@omogemi:Thanx a lot&we missed u more.As for d tube tyin,I went 2c my gynae dis mornin&i mentioned 2him abt tyin my tube afta I hav another 2kids&he said i shldn't even think abt it .He said somthng abt kinkin of d tube (there's a way he described it wit a diagram).I get twins&triplets in my gene o.U guys shldn't mind me&d way I think aloud but I rest my case 4now

omogemi: @Jade pls i m thinking of changing my daughters milk. She's on frisogold milk @ d moment. I m looking @ sma gold. She's 10+months. I would like ur opinion n other mums too.

If u can get d original of SMA progress,that'l b good.I used NAN cos I bought d imitation of d SMA&it purged my baby so I settled 4NAN.Even NAFDAC raised an alert abt somone importin fake SMA frm China so they told us how 2differentiate d original frm d imitation.Wen I compared myn,I saw I had d imitation so I ran.

Honiepie24: gush dis was how 3healthy kids bcame positive to hiv frm househelps misbehaviour.so everyone shud b careful,wit child care givers.

My dear.I heard of dat story wen I went 2serve in Cross River state.Such misfortune.Sh just hav 2start havin more kids.U c y drs refuse 2remove women's tubes b4 d age of 40 cos d dr said wot if al ur kids die (Godforbid) in plane or car crash or bomb blast? Or wot if u leav dat man u'r married to now&remarry,d new husbnd wil definately want his own kids frm u.

There're many horror surroundin househelps.Infact its d norm 2screen anybody dat coms 2live wit u now.They brought an 11yr old girl for my sister&sh was Hepatitis +.Thank God sh was screened.

Hello mummies,pls can I travel wit my babies nw,dey r 6weeks plus..I nid to go n visit my MIL,op dey arnt too young for me to move them(I mean d weather,water,environment)

Honiepie24: @ jade hw did d baby cope after he stopped bossom feedin at 3mnths,oh boy honestly babies can b funny,each one come wit hes/her personal tailored arrangment

My mum started hammering d boy pap at 3mths o&surprisingly,d boy loves d pap so much.Now dat he's 4mths,he has graduated 2sem&okro.There're other cow&gate products dat're for 4mths so he's takin those ones too includin Milopa.He's so fat

Layolaw: Thanks Jade, l've goten the 7 seas codliver oil because l ask my paed and she said its realy good for baby

@Layolaw its good u'v gotten d codliver oil.My baby doesn't lik d taste so I usually add it 2her pap(one cap) 2xs a day.D Frisogold milk is very good

omogemi: @Jade pls
i m well kid multivitamin. Is it advisable to stop since she's beginning to eat gradually now. Also is custard powder good for babies?
Sorry i m asking so much @ once.

As for multivite,I'l advice u stop givin d vitamin cos my paed just told me 2day dat d recent conference sh attended,research has shown dat 2much&prolonged use of multivites in children causes bone tenderness.That they're adviced 2giv multivites only wen necessary for a certain period of tym.Sh said u can giv a particular vitamin only wen necessary.So sh said if ur child is not eatin,u can giv Bcomplex for just a few days cos multivit contains so many different combinations of vitamins.Na dat one I hear 2day.U knw anyone I learn,I com&post here

fearless07: Hello mummies in the house.My MIL visited yesterday and was saying I should still b bathing my baby d traditional way ( twisting and gymnastics ). I felt my mum has done all dat. My question is, is it still necessary bathing baby this way, cos I don't know how to twist ).

LMFAO

Womanhood no easy, lots to worry about... Childcare, home management, husband care, fp, domestic staff wahala, daycare wahala, finance cum personal upkeep. Abeg jor, ladies we re too much.

Pls try n continue EBF till when ur baby is 6months n then u introduce water n solid foods 2 her,u av nothing 2 worry about cos breast milk also contains water.SMA is a good formula n yes breastfeed her till when she is one all this was exactly what i did for my 2nd child n I wud do it if I av another child cos it really helped.....

Yes I wished to continue EBF till 6months but due to her weight gain,doctor had advised we complement with formula.Thanks for ur concern

Jade William: @bunlizlaw:SMA Wysoy sounds lik it has soya whch is good but I'v neva seen or heard of it.Hav u tried givin baby feeder lik expressin&givin wit feeder? Cos most babies reject feedin bottle.If its d paed dat recommended dat brand of SMA,I'l advice u go 4it cos sh might hav experimented it on som babies&was well tolerated by them so its ok.If its good 4ur baby,u can com&tel us abt it so dat we'l learn 2.U can giv water (bottled water abeg) esp wen ur baby's havin hiccup or 2hrs afta feed(just a littl lik 10mls so dat he/sh won't throw up then wit tym,u increase).Its harmless.I cudn't do exclusiv for 2mths not 2mention 6mths but EBF wil save u a lot of headache;stress&anxiety evenif u'r resumin work,if u hav steady light,u can express&put in d fridge 4dem 2feed him/her wen he/sh's hungry.Its ur decision darl

Yeah, she takes expessed milk from the bottle right from birth.The Paed said most babies tolerate SMA Wysoy and it doesn't cause constipation or diarrhoea.U're right,it contains soya milk and mostly for lactose intolerant babies.I hope to continue bfeeding her even after introducing d formula.My question is how will I rotate the feeding plans as in bfeeding,water and formula?Thanks Ma.

@ william, u didn't answer my question oooo, u just dey laugh. I said is bathing baby and twisting his body gymnastics style necessry at 4 months?

Jade William:
Som ppl bleed wen brushin but it depends on how long d blood was there b4 d kids used d brush.I knw dat wen they cam 2talk 2us abt HIV at work,they said d virus can't live outside a host for morethan 15mins so we asked so if a HIV persn uses a razor blade&ther's blood on it&keeps it&somone else coms 2use it d next day,u won't get d virus&they said yes dat d persn won't b infected.So if d help used d brush&sh bled&d kids use d brush immediately,they can get it.D med personells wil tel us better

Tnk u so very much 4 this info,i actually thought it was only tru sharp objects never knew brush is now included.If person dey luk 4 job 4 company they tell d employee 2 do several test including HIV test so i think we should also conduct an HIV test 4 our househelps b4 they start living with us cos children are involved....

please someone mentioned fruity smoothie for our babies, abeg how dem de do am, i de introduce different stuffs to her and she likes some and makes her face at some.

Yesterday i prepared mashed yam and butter for her and she loved it. she is 8 months now.

Hummingbird: Hello mummies,pls can I travel wit my babies nw,dey r 6weeks plus..I nid to go n visit my MIL,op dey arnt too young for me to move them(I mean d weather,water,environment)

Hello beauty.How ar d twins?&how's ur health&bp? I hope u'r better now.More grease 2ur elbow dear.Takin care of twins is not an easy job.But b4 u travel,let dem get their 6wks vaccination includin d rotavirus.Goodluck

fearless07:

My darl.Wot do u want me 2say? As 4me,d baby can do without dat cos sh's 3mths.Wen my grandaunt used 2bath my baby,afta bathin d baby,my husbnd wil run&tak d child frm her because of d gymnastics(copyin ur language).Sh'l massage,throw her up,put d baby upside down;twist d hand 2d back,d leg wil touch d fore head; then u need 2c d burnin hot water they use on d poor baby.I was just countin days 4her 2go.We cudn't oppose cos u knw sh's an elderly woman but afta al dat,d baby wil sleep eh! There's a position sh lays d baby (on d side supported wit somthng).My dear,wen sh left(baby was 3mths by then),my baby stopped sleepin.That was wen I even noticed sh had al these colic.I wonder wot my grand aunt was doin 2stop it for me not 2hav noticed d colic al d while sh was around. I realised al those thngs had its own positive effect so since ur MIL su shld do it,do o.Unles u'l send ur husbnd 2tel her dat its not necessary but it shldn't com frm ur mouth b4 they'l tag u disrespectful

the trend is becomin more interesting and superb, @ Jade thanks 4 your info. pleasee oo my baby is really battling with seriuos running nose and sometimes cough oo and i didnt expose her to cold, l've given vit c tired.

they are fine o,was jst thinking I should go cos my aunty dat cam to do 'omugwo' has gone bk to her base so I nid someone to help me..so can't I get them anoda paeditrician dia or its nt advisable?? I rily nid a helping hand befor pesin go run craze ooo

@ william, thanks. U are a blessing to this thread. May God continue to bless u.

@ Jade pls wen can I start changing their sleeping position and sometimes m jst too tired to sit up and fed dem,especially @ nite,can I breastfeed dem wen lieing down

bunlizlaw: Yeah, she takes expessed milk from the bottle right from birth.The Paed said most babies tolerate SMA Wysoy and it doesn't cause constipation or diarrhoea.U're right,it contains soya milk and mostly for lactose intolerant babies.I hope to continue bfeeding her even after introducing d formula.My question is how will I rotate the feeding plans as in bfeeding,water and formula?Thanks Ma.

I guessed right cos anythng written Soy (means soya).I knw my frnd used Isomil whch is for lactose intolerant babies too but her baby wasn't lookin chubby so wen sh switched to Aptamil,com&c d babe.But come o.Wot made her prescribe lactose free milk 4ur child?Is there any medical history behind it?If ur baby's not stoolin then y prescribe dat brand of milk?I tried dat Isomil for my girl wen SMA gold purged her&sh refused takin it.Anywhere d dr knws better but I'l lik u 2ask her y sh shld recommend such milk&unless sh gives u solid reason,pls give ur baby normal SMA/NAN or u can get a 2nd opinion frm another paed so dat sh doesn't grow up 2b lik me dat's lactose intolerant.Lactose is good if u can tolerate it

Hummingbird: @ Jade pls wen can I start changing their sleeping position and sometimes m jst too tired to sit up and fed dem,especially @ nite,can I breastfeed dem wen lieing down

Of course dear,u can lie down&breastfeed but lik somone said on dis trend,sh said d dr advised dat u shld elevate d head of d baby a littl whil BF in dat position.Wen I breastfeed whil lyin down,I place d baby's head on my elbow or on d baby's pillow&turn alittl 2face her.
My grandaunt used 2lie d baby on d side without a pillow til sh got to 2mths,we started lyin her on d tommy wit pillow on d head.
Other mothers on dis trend can giv us further suggestions too so dat we can learn

bunlizlaw: Yeah, she takes expessed milk from the bottle right from birth.My question is how will I rotate the feeding plans as in bfeeding,water and formula?Thanks Ma.

My dear,u didn't state y u'r such in a hurry 2supplement wit artificial milk.Did sombody tel u dat its vry crucial or somthng?Since sh takes d expressed milk in d feeder,y don't u continue wit dat til sh's 6mths.
Anyway,abt rotatin it.Let her b taking breast at nyt,then wen sh wakes up in d mornin,u giv her artificial milk.I noticed it stays longer in d stomach than BM.If sh finishes 60-90mls,it can carry her for 3-4hrs then u giv her BM for her nxt meal cos ur breast wil b full&painful by then.U can giv milk for d rest of d day or once in d aftanun but u hav 2b takin less fluid orelse if ur breast is full,u'l b forced 2breastfeed more often but u hav 2breastfeed her al nyt.U knw dat u shldn't use milk dat's bn open for morethan 3wks.Its also written on d tin.Me wen I resumed wk,I breastfed only at nyt.Sh was takin formula durin d day.Although wen I com back frm wk,bosom wil b 2full,I'l express&giv dem 2giv d baby cos if dat one stays on d bosom,I won't rest.Anyway,goodluck but pls b washin&sterilizin urself.

fearless07: @ william, thanks. U are a blessing to this thread. May God continue to bless u.

Amen o.Thanx dear.May God bless u too

bunlizlaw: Yes I wished to continue EBF till 6months but due to her weight gain,doctor had advised we complement with formula.Thanks for ur concern

Oh! Sweet! Now I understand.But lactose free milk doesn't add weight unless there's somone on dis trend dat it added weight 2her baby.My frnd used Isomil (lactose free)&d baby was lookin lik cos drs claimed d baby was lactose intolerant.One day,her intuition told her 2go&get Aptamil.Inshort u need 2c d baby wen sh started takin it.I think sh got fake SMA lik I got dats y her baby kept purgin.Lik I told u;if there's no medical condition worryin ur child;go back 2ur paed&ask her y sh recommended lactose free milk 4ur baby.Moreova does ur baby feed well?Is ur BM flowin well?How often do u feed ur baby&wot ar u eatin 2mak d BM nutritious?Don't worry sweets! Ur baby wil add weight IJN.If there's anyway we can do 2help;we'l throw more light to wot u can do.Goodluck

i think we should also conduct an HIV test 4 our househelps b4 they start living with us cos children are involved....

Abi my sister.HIV;Hepatitis A&B;even TB te test.Then tak d little girls 4deliverance.A girl of 10yrs cam 4hols in my neighbour's house cos sh's an orphan so her uncles we're lookin 4whom 2giv her away to.Since d day sh 2cam 2dat hous,d kids hav bn sick esp wit stomach pain&vommitin.Kids dat were ok b4 o.Thank God my baby was goin 4summer lesson then cos likes goin there.I think d girl was possessed or somthng cos d woman had 2tak her back afta 3days&d kids becam betta.

According to the Paed,when introducing formula to a baby who has,so far,been exclusively b.fed,it's good to give SMA Wysoy.She has no negative medical history except the slow weight gain.

Layolaw: the trend is becomin more interesting and superb, @ Jade thanks 4 your info. pleasee oo my baby is really battling with seriuos running nose and sometimes cough oo and i didnt expose her to cold, l've given vit c tired.

Catarrh associated wit cough is not good.Pay a visit 2ur paedo.Abeg if they tel u 2do chest xray,decline cos sh's 2smal.A dr prescribed xray 4my littl nephew of 4mths because of cough&catarrh.Ofcourse my sister declined&afta completin his antibiotic,he bcam perfectly well

Wow.Mayb sh's right o cos d good drs attend seminars&conference 2update their knwoledge.I wish I saw ur post b4 goin 2c my baby's paedo 2day;I wud hav asked her abt dis just 2get a 2nd opinion.If sh said u shld use it;then use it.Probably afta a while,u can ask her if u can change her milk.D good drs(esp d consultants) knw better ok? Cos they c&experiment on a lot children.Thank God there's no underlyin medical condition.Use it first so dat ur baby's system wil master an artificial milk then u can change.Remember;u hav 2b takin less fluid 2prevent ur bosom frm bn 2full.Goodluck

.He didn't specifically mention a reason for introducing SMA Wysoy.Although I once complained that baby farts a lot and gets fussy and agitated when b.feeding.Thanks so much.I got Avent sterilising unit and Milton Sterilising tablets.Also,Can I give her cerelac too?

Thanks Ma.I got the SMA Wysoy and Cerelac(In case she refuses the former).Is it true cerelac is for older babies(e.g 6months and above)?
