Diaper rash treatments can be carried out by keeping your baby's skin as dry and clean and dry at all times. A diaper rash is a common form of skin inflammation which appears as a patchwork of bright red skin on your baby's bottom. Click on the link below to read more.

LegitDiva:


so my DS suddenly developed this horrible looking diaper rashes cos he had a few episodes of running stomach and since im at work during the day im not exactly sure his caregivers checked his diapers as often as i asked them to.

these rashes are ugly i tell u and in my desperation i used WHITE VINEGAR to rub his bitss, like 2-3 times in the day, i guess it hurt him a little or so cos he screamed a bit and then stopped (i felt extremely guilty), suprisingly the rashes started to dry up after a few hours and before the next day it was completely dry and out. His butt is now as fresh as new....(lol).

PS: im making this confession here cos i cant tell it to my DH (he will strangle me) lol.

crazy things we do ...God forgive me.


LOVE U ALL my e-family

helovesme:


hahahahah. i can relate to this.

my own confession is zaynie's palmoil recipe for cough.

my son had a cough and i told hubby that i want to give him palmoil+sugar as i read it cures cough. my hubby was like ''are you for real''? ''palmoil ke''. ''do you know palmoil is high in saturated fats and its not healthy for a baby''. ''don't try it''. ''if he ends up in A&E, i will tell the doc that i never gave you consent'', ''if anything goes wrong after your palmoil concotion and we are accused of endangering our child, you are on your own oh. i won't follow you to the police station''

anyways, behind his back, i tried it and it worked. the cough stopped. i won't lie though, i was scared and i kept checking my son to see if he would throw up, etc

if hubby ever finds out, i wee just point to zaynie's direction

helovesme:


Are you also breastfeeding?

As much as I am a big fan of combination feeding, personally I do not give formula at night and that's because I'm too tired/sleepy to get up and start preparing his milk. So I just breastfeed till he sleeps. I "co-sleep" so it makes its a lot easier for me. The only exception is if my hubby or a relative is willing to do the bottle drama.

However, if you do not mind waking up to sort his bottles, there's nothing wrong in giving him formula at night. Make sure it's the right quantity that will fill him up.

Feed on demand. If he wakes and he's crying, check to be sure it's not his diaper as crying doesn't necessarily mean hunger. Sometimes all a baby needs is a cuddle or just a change of sleep position.

There's nothing wrong with one poo a day. What matters the most is that he's not constipated. Always check the consistency of his poo and the colour as they are always telltale signs.

I think the rumbling shouldn't be a cause for concern. At this stage, his digestive system is gradually expanding. Just make sure you give him warm water often as it helps with bowel movements since he's being formula fed.

Regarding farting - make sure you burp him after each feed and also bottle feed him correctly. Check online on how to properly bottle feed a baby (that is holding the bottle, et al) to ensure he's not sucking air.

zaynie:



This was my way when I did combination feeding with Atinuke. We started at 40 days.
-Breastfeed all thru the night.
- cos I am weak when I wake up, formula feeding to gain my strength.
- water in between formula feeding. She drinks like 120ml of water everyday. The formula feeding was like 4-5 hours apart; sleep, water and breastmilk filled the gap.
- formula feeding just before bed. Breastmilk all thru the night.

My formula was one scoop less, one feed more.
Since recommended feeding was 6 times daily, I slashed that by 2 cos we were combining.
So cos I went one scoop less, I upped it to 4 feedings rather than 3.

zaynie:




It does. It tampers with your cycle.

ozycy:

Lol same here. The first time I tried that Palmoil and sugar, fear just grip me and I almost gave up cos the tiny quantity I gave her couldn't have made any difference plus I didn't have st Loius cube sugar.
I read again about Palmoil and salt (heated salt), as the cough persisted, I decided to try it, both times I gave it to her, she baff me with vomit immediately the thing entered her mouth but I didn't give up, I gave her another one again and the cough stopped instantly and reoccurred the next day then I gave her the second dose and that was the end of the cough.
Na 12 midnight I dey do all this practical when everyone was fast asleep and the cough was so much that she couldn't sleep. MY CONFESSION

Happy weekend mamas in d houz. Pls has any one tested d postpartum belt and how possible or effective does it work? Is it reliable? And how long wil u use for to get d shape u want.
Thanks, i will apreciate ur response

ozycy:

Postpartum belt works when you wear it religiously, even ordinary wrapper do help me get my tummy flat after birth but it will shoot out again from too much fod. So note that if you eat too much as per omugwo food and all that plenty plenty orishirishi, that tummy will still shoot out somehow and if you are on EBF, it may be difficult to control what you eat. So for you to use a postpartum belt and get very good result, you have to watch what you eat and maybe include light exercise.you also have to get a good one.
