iamteekaygal: Morning sweet mothers, wishing y'all a blessed week ahead. Concerning the chicken pox vaccine, my hubby was at R JOLAD over the weekend to enquire about it. It seems it's the same vaccine available in our hospital they have too. The current chicken pox vaccine is mixed with MMR, but the issue we have is my son already took the MMR vaccine 3months ago. The nurse in charge in R JOLAD said if it's been up to 6weeks he took the MMR shot, then he can take it again

Hence, we are going for the mixed shot. Just tot I should get back to the house. Cheers!
.

He only got the measles shot once not 2wice and that was when he was 1 year 3 months old. I already consulted a doctor too. And I had to get the shot for him cos i'll be out of the country soon. And av been told it's not available where i'm heading to.

I was also informed that mothers should watch out for the expiry date on the chicken pox vaccine if you found one. Becos the guy that delivered it to my hospital said the last one that was produced it's likely to be expired by now. Cheers!

Hello beautiful mothers in the house, am trying so hard to exclusively breast feed my 4months baby since i work. Pumping manually with Avent has not been easy. So pls does anyone know the cost of Ameda or Medela electric breast pump and where i can get them. I read reviews on Google that they are very good. Kindly advise whether to buy single or double pump as am also trying to cut cost.

Dear Mothers,

My baby(6months plus) tilts his head to the left(ear almost touching his shoulder) sometimes whenever he is sitting down all by himself.
Does anyone know what this is?

Have you seen a doctor about it? Especially if his neck is stiff or if he cries. Otherwise, he will outgrow it soon. Just try this simple massage - when he is sleepy/ sleeping, turn his head to the right & rub his neck/shoulders slowly

If you developed a swollen eye without a blow or an accident and your child is already having the symptoms, its possible you came in contact with someone who has apollo. Go and see your Dr or pharmacist, let them look at it. There are eye drops that clears it within days.

Dropping bosom milk into the eyes is safe but still see your optician.

OK.

Well, my baby did the same thing at 7 weeks, but in my case i was not doing exclusive bosom feeding so i used to give her water. i did the anus thingy once and she pooped, after that it was at least once a day. but she could fart...ah.

Anyways, i dont know what to say if she is on exclusive milk.

If she is not, have you tried changing milk? maybe that is what is making her poo strong. You can also use spoon to give her the water.

I give her Gripe water also but it just gives her momentary relief and she's back on it again. The highest I've stayed is 5 days and she will grunt and cry until she pass out gas,i had to do the cotton bud thing to help her. Yes,ve been told about the development thing too.I noticed that when she stopped taking water was when this started but she just refuse to take water.Thank You

[@=okirewaju] as for d boil, google natural ways to deal with it without having to use antibiotics which isn't good for children unless d case is critical. As for ur baby's poop pattern its absolutely normal for some EBfed babies to go for days even weeks before they pass stool at some point. We even discussed dis yesterday with d nurses when I went for my baby's immunization @ UCH. The reason is dt bosom milk is 70% water and may leave little or no waste product for babies to pass so ur baby is perfect. If u so desire her to pass stool, u can achieve dis naturally without having to buy any medicine, just increase ur fibre intake, foods like beans, pawpaw, pineapple, oranges, vegetable can be taken with moderation cos u don't want to irritate ur baby's intestine by causing her to purge if its too much.then as for the grunts, and cry, ur baby needs to be burped often after EACH feed. When babies are trying to latch on to feed, they swallow lots of air, its d air that forms bubbles in baby's tommy causing discomfort and grunting, also if u take drinks dt has gas, it fills ur baby's tommy resulting in discomfort. U don't need to give her drugs, I've tried this with my second son, it wrks. Burp ur baby after each feed, reduce gassy drinks and eat right, trust me, u won't have to visit d pharmacy for a loooong time. Goodluck
