Ednutey, I do not know about you but for me palm wine actually dried me up. Yes, I lactated better for a few days but got dry again. I immediately stopped the wine and continued with my pap and kunu.

Strange though, I usually get fresh one for my sister. And it's good for her.
Well body systems are not the same,
At the same time; maybe the palm wine you took is not fresh (early morning).

Thanks Cappo. She is doing great, getting bigger by the day and i am so glad considering the fact that she was very tiny when i had her. I have been dealing with rashes/ela these past few weeks, its all over her upper body, especially her face, neck and back. I have been using agnesia powder which i don't think is working, but i am still using it anyway. I have also tried red akalifer which i used to bathe her for like 4 days but i still did not see any changes, someone even suggested that i give her to drink but i said lai lai, e never reach. My MIL said i should use sudocrem which i have tried a few times but i am officially tired. The hair at the back of her head is also falling off, i think its cradle cap which is why i asked about the shampoo.

Please is goodies supermarket on the island?

The rashes might be a fungal infection you know. Have you tried an antifungal cream? Hair falling off bit is mostly as a result of cradle cap. Goodies have branches in VI, Apapa and Ikeja. Bought it at the Ikeja branch.

Don't stop breast milk please! You should be thinking of augmenting with formula so she can build up fast. Have you guys been discharged? Cos at this stage she should be in a nicu and fed through a tube(Gavage) so that she can be fed well cos her suction isn't strong enough to feed by herself. If the poop is runny please alert your health provider so they can access her properly.

Also keep her away from people as much as possible as I'm sure she hasn't been given bcg due to birth weight? Mine took theirs yesterday when they reached 2.5kg.

Please o whatever you do don't stop breastfeeding her she needs it more than anything! My Sil was told to express and give them with spoon cos they couldn't suck much on their own.
All the same always inform your doctor before you make any changes or adjustment to her care cos she's very delicate and may not handle stuffs like full term babies.

i have personal experience
Please feed with cup and spoon every three hours, only suck for less than 10 mins at each feed,
cos the more she sucks, the more she will be losing weight
and the reason is because she is using the strength to grow fat in sucking.

i did exclusive for six month and u needed to have see the baby, u will never believe the birth weight.
if u can stop formular , please do and feed religiously till the baby is up too 3kg,
just suck occasionally so, he/she will not loose the sucking reflex.
when i mean feed every three hours, please includes night also,
when sleeping wake the baby up to eat,
do this for one month, u will see at least 0.5kg in a week,
dont forget to burp and maintain utmost clean hygiene.


will be here to answer any question also.
