Hello mummies, my 2weeks + baby enjoy sleeping with her chest down. She always stop crying whenever she sleeps that way. Is it good or I should stop

It is not recommended for babies tender as yours to sleep chest down. This is because babies who have not gained neck control can choke if they mistakenly sleep face down. However, if you are sure you will be watching her and not leave her by herself for a long time, you can allow her sleep because they sleep longer that way most times

Mumaraoluwa:
it is well with me, I just feel instinct should tell him that I need help. He feels am a super woman true true, he thinks am strong, not knowing am only managing myself. The annoying thing is that, if I don't do those chores, It won't be done

This! My dear is the reason why you must call him anytime you need him to help you. No go overdo yourself

Mumaraoluwa:
Newborn mummies that has a toddler without any support. How do u cope? Am exhausted and frustrated. No support from my husband, cooking, cleaning, laundry, all on me alone.

Hubby should support you. Talk to him or get someone to come support you. The person might be coming to help during the day alone so you can rest that period. I understand your situation, i gave birth during lockdown so it was just me and my husband taking care of baby and my toddler... Not so easy but hubby was very helpful. We were able to pull through. So please stop forming superwoman from today, let your husband know you need help. No go wound yourself o

Breakfast today

Good day mamas in the House,

How is everyone doing? Pls can someone help out with a health center on the mainland where i can administer Rotavirus vaccine for my baby. Or link me up with smone that can do that.
I initially heard shomolu health center was administering it, do they still give it there...
God bless you mamas for assisting.
All our efforts on our children will not be in vain in Jesus Name. Amen.

You can check LASUTH

Good morning E- mums.Pls should i be worried that my DS of 8 months isnt crawling yet but he sits and stretches to get any toy beside him.His weight is 9.lkg.Could his weught pose a reason why he isnt crawling.
I heard some babies skip crawling stage.How true is this.
Thanks for your responses�

There is no cause to be worried about him not crawling at 8 months. Don't allow people who says their own babies crawl at 4 months and started walking at 6 months pressurize you o.

Jaynifer51:
Good afternoon mummies and happy Sunday, please the inner lips of my 6weeks old baby are black, it was so when he was born but slowly cleared up after a few weeks, I’m concerned because it has turned black again. Please has anyone witnessed such and did it clear up on its own abi it remained black.

Give it time, it will clear. Happened to my DS and was a bit worried too because it wasn't like that for my first. It was as if it wll be like that forever but it cleared all by itself.

Hello mama's please I noticed this rash on my 3 weeks 5 days old baby's neck last week. I was applying Sudocreme but stopped yesterday as it seemed to be getting worse. Please what else can I do. The rash is on her neck and upper back.

Have you tried baby tribotan? You can give it a try.

Ayaoye:
Good day mamas please how can I treat cold on my almost 2 weeks old baby, she got caught it from her brother. Her nose is filled with mucus, I have applied shear butter on four head and bridge of nose, little silver bird to her cloths. She is finding it abit hard to breath when you lay her to sleep

2 weeks is tender o. Can you get the mucus out to ease her breath. Continue to breastfeed her well. Sliver bird on her cloth may be too close and choking as long as she's wearing the cloth. Why not put it in one of her washcloth or handkerchief and place it around her bed. Also, i think you can try steam inhalation with just a few drops of sliver bird, and you might not need to cover both of you with towel during the process (my opinion tho) because I think baby is tender.
About the Shea butter, just a little, put on the bridge of the nose and her soft spot ( not forehead) kisses to her

Springz:
Good evening mothers
Please when is it safe to deworm a baby and is it necessary to randomly deworm a baby?
Baby is 12months old.

Deworming is from 1yr. You can deworm every 3months

gladmom:
Thank you so much.
Also, my son of 8 weeks eats every hour when he's awake. His BW was 3.6kg and at 6 weeks he was already 4.9kg. I'm worried he's gaining too much weight rapidly. Don't want to have an obese baby ooo. Please help a ftm.

He is not doing any work na neither is he active. All he can do is eat, sleep and gain weight and @ the bolded, he's not gaining too much weight na. Allow him to eat well and grow o. My son was 3.2kg at birth and weigh 5.1kg @ 6wks and of course he's not obese. So enjoy the chubby moments

gladmom:
He pooed today. Sometimes 4 days or 3 days inbetween.

@the bolded is why i ask. Anytime my son doesn't poo in an interval of more than 3 days, his poo is always like a paste not like the egusi like poo. Its normal. I guess it because all the milk are fully digested hence the absence of the egusi stuff

gladmom:
Good day mamas, please my baby is 8 weeks today and his poo is paste-like but the colour is yellow. I'm worried if it's okay. Though he has no fever.

When last did he poo or how often?

Babygal2020:
11th August, 2020. Thank you momma

Please continue to clean it with spirit till it covers up completely. Keep it dry too. And you should take your vitamin C tab for fast healing.

Babygal2020:
Good evening mommas. Pls I need suggestions on how to take care of my CS scar. It's not healing smoothly. It has small growth on part of it. I heard it's good to apply Shea butter on it. Pls I need help.
@sugar
@angeltolly
@4realwoman

I hope this is not coming late. When was the cs? Haven't heard of Shea butter. Please just clean with original spirit and allow breeze on it

Babygal2020:
Pls when can I start drinking water. I had CS yesterday morning?
I'm very thirsty
Urgent answer pls

Why not ask your doctors that are monitoring you since they have your file. There is no ready-made manual to some things. You have to follow your doctor's instructions.

Nameflow:
Good day everyone, my baby was Born before time and has since been on exclusive breastfeeding but my wife is having issues with lactation.. He's 12 weeks old and 3 weeks adjusted for age. Which formula feed would you likely recommend? Thanks. First time parent.

I am sure of NAN 1 cos I have used it before. But I think any baby milk with 1 will work just fine. Your pocket will determine.

Hello Ma'am,

After the delivery of my boy. I saw my first mestration three month after, which is on 5/07/2020 even though it lasted for seven days but my mestration is for four days before delivery but uptil now, I've not seen my second mestration and today's date is 5/08/2020. I did home Pregnancy test and it was negative.

Did any one experience the same?

Are you sure its saliva? Is he always well burped before you lay him down? Check that.

Your body is just adjusting to a whole new cycle.... It will take time to regularise.

Mzora:
Mamas pls help
My darling son was circumcised today.how do I care for it to enable quick healing?I was told to run warm water on it and apply pennicilin skin ointment .hope this should help?

I think it depends on the type of circumcision that was done for you. The person that did it should tell you. But i know if it's the ring method, you should apply olive oil often so the ring can drop fast. I did ring for my 2 boys and that was the instruction.

FloraEC:

Won't it be harsh.
I massage with lukewarm water and use blue seal vaseline.

Won't be harsh as such, the spirit has been touching it all along now while caring for the cord. We were using chloroxyl gel for the cord and we continued after it fell till it heals but i think methylated spirit is more common.

Fruitfulvinee:
Mamas pls help a FTM.
My DD is 8day old and the cord fell off yesterday.
What can I apply on it to heal quickly and what can I give her to avoid her feeling pains from it?

Continue cleaning with methylated spirit till it heals completely

Christianaoha:
I am sorry for not coming back with the big news forgive me. I had no one to do omugwo for me just me alone. Still no excuse. I gave to a beautiful baby boy.

hapheey007:
Good Day beautiful mamas, can I give my 2weeks old baby cold liver oil? If yes, which brand is best?

It's your choice but Why do you want to give cod liver oil? Why not concentrate on breastfeeding him well that's if you are on EBF because all he needs for now is embedded in the breast milk.

tutulicious:
Good evening mummy's please assist me.

Am strong presently and next thing my son climbed to the place where I kept moth balls and put it in his mouth he must have eaten some, is it harmful? Is there anything I should do now apart from taking him to the hospital?

Please help me he is 2 years old.

How is your son now. I hope you got a solution and he's fine.

miraclebaby:
Why the salt pls? I was asked to clean with soft wash cloth dipped in water morning and night for healthy gum.

I think ordinary water is enough according to the pediatricians

Jaynifer51:
Help!!!!
I just found out my baby has jaundice
My first had it too and we had to go through phototherapy, the stress was something else and isn’t something I want to go through again especially with the pains I’m going through right now, I’m not saying I won’t do it if it gets to that but our next appointment is on Wednesday and I’d love to try out any natural remedies until then

It's not cool to wait till Wednesday before taking your baby for treatment. Jaundice level do increase very fast. One can stop it from further spreading but can't undo any damage it has done. So please, attend to it fast. For starters, do SB test to know the level.
