fetok: Hello Mummies in the house.
Am a new mother with 10days old baby Boy.
My Baby doesnt sleep @night and some one said He is having on His head,Oka-Ori in yoruba{soft spot}.
Pls is there anything like that?if yes,
what are the symptoms and remedies?Thanks

from my experience oka is real. Not an ailment but part of delivery process.
Its hs nothing to do with sleep its just d skull closing up. Pls dont fret.
Put ur hand on ur babys' head and trace it from d front (forehead or d soft spot)straight to d back (d neck @ d back) to knw hw wide it is. From experience with my baby i noticed she poops little poops alot.
Dont let anyone tell u to give him agbo to drink.
Here is what i did. Go to elewe omo n ask for 'oka'. There is a number for boys- i think 5 not sure anymore. When u buy it, soak it in water for 3days. After d 3rd day, scoop d water with ur hand n wash his head 3ce. Pls do not give him to drink.
Another option is for u to get silverbird n mix with ur babys oil. Apply it to his soft spot n cover his head. This also helps with cold n catarh. In my own case, i did both for faster result.

ify's world:
@Jade, de tinture is for cough. But as for catarr u cant go wrong with hot water and steam bathing. Ugh, ur mumsie concortion strongoo ginger and lime, dats hot mehn. My twins now walk, but na wahala, for dey are everywhere, scattering things ehnn. Dis boys no go kill me. But de good side is pursing dem up and down is a good exercise for me. Who knows if i can shed some pounds. Lol. @Julicoka, dis one all of una dey show for my country side. Una go pay tax ooo. Infact, make i go block una for niger bridge. Welcome dearies.

hahahaha abeg no block us, but i dey fear onitsha wahala,to stop at dat upper iweka na wahala ooo

GdLuck Dear

@mums
no vex...i will soon graduate to this section IJN. everybody keep saying aptamil is expensive, but nobody has given the cost. Pls how much is it?

hello mummies, long time, pls. my 3 yrs. boy 've been 4rm one thing to another nw dat l don't even know what to do again, took him to paed, treat him for malaria, still the same, later he says its measles after treatment he still complaing about stomach pain, we run about 4 test (bloo,urine & stool) detect some kind of infection inside the stool and was given drugs to take but my fear now is that if he eat the stomach will be somehow big as if the food didn't digest, then poop plenty & watery & don't eat though my hubs is saying maybe we shld take him to another hospital but ''lm really confused

Jade William:
Since d other twin likes feeder,express&giv him.My baby prefered feeder wen sh was young so &giv.NAN causes constipation.That I experienced but its betta ur baby constipates than purge.Do d normal scoopin.Not a full spoon but a leveled spoon.Mayb we were ova addin d milk or doin somthng wrong but my baby can stay 5days without pooin.Another good milk is SMA gold(made my baby purge&sh rejected it but took NAN til sh got 2a year then I switched 2peak 123&Complan) but there lots of imitations in d markt cos I don't knw if I bought d imitation.Another good one dat my anty used is Isomil (it contains soya (my baby didn't really lik it).Aptamil is so so so good&wil mak ur baby brainy&plumpy but its damn 2expensive.Its abt 4,500 cos its frm UK&u hav twins.If u hav somone in UK,d persn can send it 2u.It shld b cheaper there.I'l find out frm my frnds there.U hav twins so don't go 4thngs dat drag ur husbnd dwn cos pampers alone can b exhorbitant.Another good one is Emfamil&similac.Also frm UK.They mak kids super smart.

i tire o. abeg leave baby joor. is he walking yet? dont u have 'yam' for leg?

@Chicky-Girl, if its bow leg u're refering to, I read they normally outgrow it when they start walking. One of my boys had it at a very age too but its not so bad now as he's standing and walking gradually. The only thg I did sha was to prevent my nanny from carrying him too much on the back. They started backing that particular boy at an early age cos he was really turbulent. Though my ped said that wasn't the cause of the bow leg and assured us he will outgrow it. Just let them eat right and get all the basic nutient.

@Blendy, your boys areadly walking? Waooo, time time, just a matter of time and all become tori.

@Chicky, take your kid out in the early morning sun, its a very good source of vit D that helps kids grow well. Do this for three to four weeks, you will see changes in his bow leg becoming straight legs.

My hubby's inlaw is a doctor, when he was still in school then and went for holiday, he will ask him to walk his son who was developing bow leg, he did it and that was it. So try take you son/daughter out in the early morning sun and return home like an hour or 30 minutes later, and as Blendy said in most cases they out grow it.

That's all you need.

@Omogemi, you are so funny.

Hello mums in da house. Make una advice me on what to do. My baby is 2 months and 2 weeks. His head is not yet strong and my mum is worried cos he is not carrying his head yet. So she said, I shld not be feeding him always. She wants me to be timing it for him cos he is getting fat and becos of it he is not able to carry his head. Should I be worried that he is not carrying his head yet.
I love my baby so much and moreover he is my first issue.
Please at What month do they start carrying their head?

I think u shld get a 2nd opinion frm another hospital cos frm wot u described,if u feel d food isn't digestin or ur baby's tommy is distended;aren't they supposed 2giv u gestid? Mayb go 2another hospital joor.And wen last did u deworm him?
2ndly,do they feed him in sch (as in sch food)? Cos he might b reactin 2a food.U read where @iamteekaygal described wot her son went thru afta sh gav him yam ball so dats another thng u hav 2figure out.

Hummingbird: jst coming back from the clinic..cnt bliv d PT test was positive..the doc said th sharp pain I complained about was because a foetus was implanting itsef... now I dnt even know wia to go,how do I tell hubby,ao do I cope??

Hey girl, i wish i know what to tell u. But wait, where is Jade? I know she must have a solution. This one toughooo. U need wisdom my dear. My first was 6mths old when i took in for de twins. Dats why i quickly went for fp. I suffer ehhh, uterine prolapse et al. But first, tell DH, he needs to be carried along. May de wisdom and grace of God be with u. Hugs

Jade William: @iamteekaygal thank God ur baby's ok.Mayb u shld try 2deworm him too if u havn't done so in d past 3mths.God wil help us al.Didn't knw dat yam can actually do dat.One of my frnds told me dat her son reacts to egg.Na wa o

Thanks a lot @ Jade, I actually deworm him 2mnths ago, he is due again by nxt month. The cause was not the real yam o, its the yam they use in making 'ikokore'. I think its called water yam or so, but what I fried is called 'ojojo' in yoruba sha.

Thanks sis for d answer.

@hummingbird
May what happened to u happen to me IJN.

BTW is this ur 3years leave from pregancy thread lol

Pele o oo one mans meat na another kpoomo.

@Hummingbird, waoooo, I signed in to congratulate you and also tap of your blessings, in the name that is above every name , the name of Jesus ,God will bless me with twins and in four months I will get preggy again. Amen.

Am happy for you dear, don't cry, rather kneel down and praise God for Him. You will cope ok. I will remember you in my prayers. God Himself will carry the baby for you. Amen.
