goodevening to u all. Pls how do i stop my lo frm sucking her thumb, for the past one week she has been sucking her thumb esp when she wnts to sleep. She weighed 5.3kg at her 10wks vaccine, is that weight ok for her?

Ovems:

Goodmorning Mamas. I made the earlier post in Nov 2016, would have been back to share the testimony after we made progress but my son was just falling my hand. Lol. Sometimes, we would have made a lot of progress and the next thing, I will notice that we had taken few steps back.
Well, now he is 13months old. He wakes up just once or twice. I give him water when he wakes up which is usually 4hours after he sleeps. But when he wakes up the second time, its breastmilk (which I intend to stop totally soon). The goodnews is he sleeps for 4hours straight but still doesn't sleep all through the night. We are getting there sha.
For those still going through something similar, I just ignored his request for breastmilk and offered water instead. He resisted and cried for loooong at first but with time, the cries reduced and he now looks for the water himself now and goes back to sleep on his own. Thank you all for your help especially Onegai, Zaynie, AlphaHandMaiden, helovesme. Really grateful.

Thanks so much for this. I am in this same situation, my baby is 13 months old but has never slept through the night. I tried doing the water thing 2 weeks ago but she fell sick few days after I started. I had to continue with the braestfeeding o, my braests have suffered. I will attempt it again though.

Please mamas I need home remedies for catarrh that refused to stop in toddlers. Thanks.

Hello mamas. My lo is dealing with serious gas pains. He grunts and strains with plenty farting and it's affecting his sleep. What can I do to ease it? He burps after eating all the time so I know it's not that. He's 3 weeks old. Thanks

alright thanks

babythug:


My son had it at about that age too! I read that it could be caused by dehydration so step up on his feeds and give little water if need be. Most of the reviews I also read online also said not to worry that it'll go on its own and that's what happened!!!

I am relieved.. thk u ma

Baby farting is a broad topic but you might want to check the kind of food you are taking (I guess you are breast feeding him), they might be gas producing meal like vegetable,beans etc in fact eating some certain kind of fruits and diary product by breast feeding mother can cause flatulence in babies.
He can also swallow air bubbles during breast feeding and this can also make him pass gas , some babies face indigestion when they are introduced to formula or semi-solids, their digestive system needs some time to adjust.
Your baby is fine as its normal for babies at his stage to be have developing digestive system,your best bet is to remain calm and try soothing tactics that can help your baby relax.

@Abiagirl, thanks alot

Pls Mamas I need ur advice. My LO is 2weeks born as a preterm at 35weeks. She finds it hard sucking although I read it's one of the challenges of having them early. Breast milk is never enough for her or I assume she doesn't get enough as she can't suck very hard but she is coming now. I had to resort to water and glucose as she was dehydrated for 3days after birth. Later we had to get her SMA gold to augment. Pls has anyone had such a challenge? How did u deal with it and how can I increase my milk supply?

ambient:
Mothers in the pls I need your input and how to handle this matter pls ...

My new house help have been acting strangely since morning after sometime she came to meet me and start telling me how my eight years old niece do touch her breast at night and sometimes try to jump on her body. I was just surprise. I called her into the room and started asking her questions
- the only time she was sexually molested was when she was one year her devil uncle tried to penetrate her (he is still in jail)
-her mum is a no nonsense woman so she was rightly trained
-I don't allow her to watch adult movies in short I watch all my movies in my room.

So am confuse, is it from school or have she been doing it for long.she swears that she has not been molested by anybody and she doesn't know about her uncle.

Please probe further and address the root cause and address it fast. This is a case of sexual abuse beyond when she was one year old. She is not too young for sex education, which should be started as early as 2 years in age appropriate ways... pedophiles are every where.

Also, if you watch adult movies even in your room, i suggest you stop for her sake and for the sake of your children. Children have a way to get hold of this things without you knowing.

I'd suggest you get Pre-Nan instead of the sma as the pre Nan is made with preemies nutritional and digestive system in mind.

You should also do more expressing of breasts milk cos she is losing g precious weight sucking! feed her including the formula with a spoon or Syringe.

Give her more frequent feeds like every one and half hour cos she needs to build body fat fast.

Take warm baths, drinks lots of fluid and rest plenty to stimulate milk flow, uda pepper soup did it for me.

Put her to suck every now and then but don't let her stay on the breast for long for now till you are sure she is getting enough milk and not just doing exercise

Additionally limit her exposure to people if she hasn't gotten her bcg shots till she is up to 2.5 kg and gets it.

Don't give her baths yet just clean her body with a warm wet cloth.

Please Mamas, what's your take on this idea of giving teething remedies to babies who are showing signs of teething?

Baby is not showing any severe symptom like diarhea or fever, or boils...but folk still insist that babies should be given drugs to prevent terrible symptoms.

I'm at a crossroad now, I don't even know the one to follow again.

It's not like we have seen any teeth sef. all she just does is produce excess saliva and then sometimes, it looks like she's crying cos tears keep coming out from one eye.

AlphaHandMaiden:


Do you have to pack your lo's meals for the entire day at nursery?

something for him to eat for 8 hours

Don't let anyone pressure you unnecessarily. Just say thank you and you've heard then move on.

Drugs for teething aren't necessary if baby has a fever then administer pcm we may be required.

Offer he child cold teething rings to itch the gums

the sma was prescribed by the midwive who took her delivery. She weighed 2.5kg at birth and I always put her to suck every two hours of which she doesn't do while sleeping so I give her milk with cup and spoon. We used syringe initially after expressing the breast milk but now her demand is high,we moved to cup and spoon. I take uda everyday. She got her bcg four days after birth. Thanks

Thank you.
These teething remedies contain paracetamol, and the liver has a hard time processing PCM.

I will just stick with givig Vit. C once again.

Thanks a lot Mama

good day mamas in the house. please i have a question: is it okay to start giving my 4months old baby bonababe for teething problems when he has not showed any signs of having teething problems. thats what my neighbor said but i really don't agree with her

No, some children have their teeth without any hitch, but when the baby is kind of uncomfortable/feverish during teething, then you can give bonababe or any other Brand. Bonababa has piriton and its not really advisable to be loading it into baby's system everyday. Just tell her u have heard and if she asked you if u have started it, tell her yes and follow your heart.

All seem good then! Have you tried bottle feeding her and what's her response to it?

Stimulate your nipples with time the milk will flow have patient and don't beat your self if it doesn't! Not every woman lactate fully. Your daughter will still get good nutrition from the formula.
