Please I need help

A week ago, my son stopped eating his cereals
He is playing fine, super active as usual sleeping like he should, not scratches nothing. But he won't eat

After 2 days I took him to the hospital, they checked him, and told me he is fine. Checked his weight and he's 11.5kg at 10 months. They assured me the boy is fine

Now, he won't take food from me o
Dh tried once he took maybe 3 spoons
It's been a week and he's not had any solid food
His creche nanny says he collects food willingly without issues from them (I only pack cereals for him)
But once were home the boy won't send
All he will take is breast and small formula, like 60mls

I fooled baby into for him with enough fish and crayfish, made very soft and fluffy semo the boy took a few and started playing with the soup

I try to give him bread so he can at least have something in his belly
He has lost weight. And I'm so tired

Abeg any tips?


Abeg make Una help me

Hi maamas it been a while, how are u and urs?


please make una halla help safe me before my mumci will force feed my lo pap...i traveled to pay her visit so she notice she doesn't suck often and she was like she has to open her stomach by force feeding with pap so she can eat frequently... I have been using the excuse that she ain't up to 6month yet meanwhile she's 6months 2weeks...I actually observed that her appetite has reduced drastically... she only demand for bre5t like once in 2 to 3 hours unlike b4 where she takes like 2wice in 2hours...sometimes if she stays up to 3hrs and hasn't demanded I will pick her and pin her to the boobs but I only end up been bitten with toothless gums...in fact I envy all those maamas that their los came with eating anointing... I think mine came with playing anointing, she can play on behalf of Africa...

I only started giving her water which she takes very well...she isn't sick in any way, sleeps and plays as usual... its just this eating that is giving me cause to worry...

pls any suggestion on how to boost her appetite is highly welcomed... thankx

Who has experience with a baby with jaundice.
Our newborn has it, to think I saw it 2 days ago but since both parents don't have clear white eyes, I felt it was inherited not till yesterday when the corners of the cornea was way darker than the rest. His gums also turned yellow this morning. We took him to the hospital early this morning and have done test (he measured 17) and now he is on admission.
I feel so terrible that I waited this long.

How long do babies with jaundice have to stay in the hospital?
Is jaundice a result of infection? cos that's what the doctor told them (she didn't allow me in). I don't believe so cos this baby is just 5 days old and only a handful of people have carried him. Pikin wey just dey sleep dey go.

The package is for those who deliver in the month of November. However,it's possible you were on the October roll call and then ported I.E passed your edd or could be on the December roll call and your baby decides to make an early entry I.e before your edd thus making you port to the month of November.
I hope I'm correct.

Hi Friend and NL family please Biko don't read and run plus I need as much opinion as possible to make a good judgement .
My sister in law has a trip booked to Nigeria in February, everything is going smooth and her parent who she hasn't seen in 5 years plus other important family members are expecting to see her and her child, only to find out she is pregnant!
While we were still debating, result at dating scan shows she's pregnant with twins.
As the only person in the family that's familiar with Nigeria, different people are calling me from both sides of family for information and advice if she should cancel the trip or not but me sef I'm a leaner for Naija living to be honest.
She will be 5 months PG in February and spending 3 weeks. Originally she was going to see her father, do some business and explore the city and beach life with her child like a proper tourist.
Is she alright to go or would you advise to cancel altogether thanks.

Hello every1. Trust we r all good.

Ok,i noticed that my ds(25months)has not been eating well only for me to check his mouth and i saw a whitish spot with a red circle on his lower,inner lip and also running temp. So i started using warm water/salt with cotton wool to clean d place & giving him ibrupofen syrup. But there was no improvement at all bcus he refused eatng nor taking even water!

We took him to the hospoital on sun night cus d temp got so so high that even tepid-sponging did nada! He was given antibiotics,vit c & ibrupofen.

Yesterday,i noticed ders another white patch on his left tip of tongue,omg! I pity d boy o! He cnt evn take water without crying... He really wants to eat but the thot of d pains when food enters his mouth,makes him withdraw!


Just this afternoon,i saw a bigger patch with about 3tiny ones around it on d right edge of his tongue! God,wat is this ooo! He cant even close his mouth! He has lost so much weight from friday evening.

The antibiotics mks him poop alot but i have to continue giving him...

What could have caused the white patches. I learnt its an infection!

Is there anything else i can use to hasten the healing I'm so so so worried for him...

Trust your day went well
Ma petite has been referred to see a dermatologist concerning the recurrent skin boils cos i can't really classify it as rashes. She's been having these since she was 4 months old, and till now @ 22 months we are still having episodes at least once every 6 weeks
These stuffs that shows up on her legs and arms have really dealt with my dear. They itch terribly and when she scratches and d water that comes out touches another place they pop up in other points too

So we saw a specialist today who said d primary diagnosis is popular urticaria, though she thinks it could be insect bites and her skin is super sensitive...I told her I doubted that anyway and that i suspected food allergy cos whenever she eats soya or groundnuts she'll have an outbreak. I also noticed that she reacts to disposable daipers i mean all the ones we have tried but is comfortable with 100% cloth daipering.

She said no doubt her skin is sensitive to the components of the disposables, and adviced i just stick to cotton if that be the case
Na wa which Kain skin dis pickin get na...I find it tough to keep up with cloth daipering o honestly @ Alphahandmaiden I need tips please. Thank God she's already started potty training..I can't wait to stop using diapers. I just pray I don't have such issues with my next baby by his grace cos this skin issue is energy sapping

The Dr said food allergy test is usually her last resort cos its expensive,say like 80k i was like jeeezzz! Thats a huge sum

She just adviced i cover her legs properly whenever she's out to avoid insect bites like sunfly n d likes which could also b d culprit, change her bathing soap to DOVE cos its mild, keep watching what she eats, use a tropical antibacterial cream when d need arises and stop flooding her system with antibiotics cos honestly thats what we've been doing all the while and now it seems her system is too used to it that it seldom works

Though, it was soothing to hear that she will outgrow it soon.
This is a quick update incase any baby here is having same recurrent skin issues
May God protect our LO's for us

Biko nu I need help, my baby wakes up every hour, sometimes twice in one hour. I've not slept in so long i might soon run mad. What should i do, when would it end. She only used to wake up once or twice since birth and i thought by the time she's 6 months she would be sleeping through the night only for her to come and get way worse. I think it's partially my fault cuz she can't go back to sleep without bobby in her mouth, so now every little waking up she would wail until you carry her and bfeed then she would sleep off immediately. This happens like 8 times or more in one night. I'm trying to stop the excess bfeeding and try to tap her back or put her on my shoulder and rock her back to sleep but she just screams louder until you bring bobby. This post is getting so long, I don't even know what I'm typing again, I lack sleep. Biko nu help me before I run mad. CC: .

Get a saline nasal spray. It comes either as drops or a spray. I feel the spray is easier to use though but some prefer the drops.
If you see the catarrh is dry and thick, use the spray, it helps soften it up and it will be easier to either suck out or just help moisturize inside the nostrils.

You can get olbas oil, ( it is more efficient than plain eucalyptus oil(silverbird)
There is olbas for babies and the normal olbas. The one for babies is much milder. But a few drops on her bib or on her clothes - do not put directly on her skin.


Menthylatum, (, i dont know how strong the one you have is but if it is not a baby grade one, i will suggest you dilute with shea butter and rub on her chest, back and on the soles of her feet.

You can also add a TINY bit with some shea butter and rub ON her nose across the nostrils and from forehead down to the tip of her nose. Please do not put anything apart from the nasal spray in to her nostrils.

You can do a bit of steam inhalation with hot water and a few drops of eucalyptus oil.
Get help from your hubby or someone else to hold a wrapper or bed sheet over you, the baby and the bucket or bowl of hot water whilst doing the steam inhalation.

Or if you have running hot water, sit with your baby in the bathroom( may be on the toilet seat) and run the shower on the hottest setting so the bathroom steams up. The steam she inhales will help ease some of the congestion.

Try and keep her head elevated when she is sleeping it helps the congested feeling. For day time naps, you can let her stay in a bouncer or rocker. For night time, try elevating the 2 front legs of the crib.


Sorry there is no surefire cure, but these will help provide some relief.

Other things you can do is get hand sanitiser and use frequently and for other people that want to carry her either they go wash their hands or they use hand sanitiser. Also Limit access to other older but small children, as they can transmit all sorts of bugs from nursery, school and God knows where else.

Good afternoon mothers, pls I need advice from experienced people. Here goes my story.
Am a mother of two( first is almost 3years, second is almost 7months). I don't have a job, been seriously looking for one that is family friendly but haven't gotten, my dh has someone that can help me with a banking job but we are both afraid of how to cope with it and the kids but the present economic situation is not smiling now. I don't have any help I, my dh and 2children stay alone but my parents reside in the same state with us ( Ilorin to be precise). My question now is those that have worked in a bank or working in a bank without any help, pls how do you cope? I don't have any experience with banking job but I do hear its very stressful for family women but if I have reasons to back it up I will rethink.
Let me add that my dh's job too is demanding and closes 6:30pm almost everyday. So pls should I go for this job or keep waiting for better one if yes pls I need advice on how to manage my home with it. Pls I need a reply based on experience.
Thanks n anticipation
