Give him the bread please. Ensure he drinks adequate water too.

Teething presents/affects babies differently you just have to go with the flow for your baby and make him as comfortable as you can during the period.

Rofemiguwa, it will clear by itself. It's probably just hormonal from baby adjusting to so much stuff. if you're using Johnson's baby wash, stop and switch to Aveeno, Sebamed or Dove Pure and Sensitive

Dear Mamas, my ds will be 4 months in 2 days time. I got him Nan when he was 3 months but he wont take it. He wont even take water either bottle fed or spoon fed. He takes bm alone. Wanna start him on pap, don't know if its advisable or if he'll take it.

The reason that the WHO and doctors recommend 6 months of breastfeeding is because of all the nutrients and immunity your baby gets, in exactly the right portions he needs, from breastmilk. He cannot process other foods well, even if he takes it.

I'm not crazy about Cussons personally but if that's what you want to use, that's fine. The rashes will clear up.

Starting from 4 months is quite okay, although 6 months is the ideal. Why don't you check out these two links to help explain better the different feeding Skills a baby acquires as it grows older plus how exactly you should feed them to avoid any issues.

Why do you want to introduce pap and formula?
If you can continue breastfeeding, then do.
Hope he's getting enough milk.
You will need to keep trying cos Some kids don't really like formula. Most of my kids refused formula so I just add the milk to their cereals.
Right now, am still battling with my DD to take formula, she manage to take just 120ml with enough trick, song and fight lol. I don't want to give up like I did with my older kids since I have her time, so you may keep trying.

Mamas, pls when should babies stop taking formula?

Nothing do the young man jare. Free him and the avocadoes wink

Wait a bit more before you start golden morn. I find it a bit hard and better suited for older children / toddlers.

As.per his weight does he look malnourished or under weight to you ? Is his Dr concerned?

Free the boy abeg cheesy

Good day everyone. Please i have been thinking of something. I strongly believe in science and medicine and i am a 'follow Drs instruction' person. But lately i have been thinking cos Drs say when a child is teething the child shouldnt show all these our 'teething signs'. But is it possible for a child to teeth and not have any sign at all throughtout the entire teething period of life. Like high temperature or diarhoea or rashes or one thing or the other. Is it really possible? And when these things happen during the teething phase its really hard not to connect it to teething. Abeg enlighten me

Most of those our "teething signs" are actually due to infections they pick up by putting dirty things in their mouths. I learnt from my first son and thus with my second, i was very careful of such. He had no symptoms except excessive saliva. We just woke up one morning and saw two teeth up. No diarrhea, no fever. He didn't get the flu till he started school.

Looks like furunculosis or bullous impetigo. Get altergo cream and apply twice daily till it leaves. If it is too much, you can add antibiotics to it too. I usually prefer ampiclox. You never mentioned the age so don't know d dose to give. And please never burst those lesions abegi. They spread fast.
Forgot to add that you should make sure no part of the skin is swelling up, hot and painful.

Totally agree. Couldn't have said it any better. Even wrote a post on this. Oh and you know you can tell a child's age from the number of teeth? Later guys. Have to start preparing the kids for school

Mamas, pls when should babies stop taking formula?
I thot it's 1yr and 6months to 2years. I don't know for sure but that's my thinking. Once I wean, I give formula once a day and of course milk in his cereals till 2yrs.


@chinwendym, ampiclox will do it but get ready for loose stool.
