Good morning house, please I need help with this.. my baby’s ears folds over when she lies down and her ears now look folded and even has a line from the too much folding. It’s most especially on her right ear cos she always like to lie on her right side.. please is there a way I can correct this? I’m a ftm and nobody told me to watch out for this, She can’t even lie down without the ears folding, she’s just 4 months old.. plz don’t read and pass!

Mamas please, I’m so worried... my 4 months old baby was in the same room with someone that has measles, is it possible that she’s infected? I’m so worried that I can’t even sleep... the way it happened is a long story but please is there anything I can do? Don’t read and pass please

Hello new moms.please help out a fellow mum here.which is the best multivitamin i can use for my 3 week old as i am having issues eating well.I am breastfeeding and my milk comes in well.i just feel it will lack the necessary nutrients since am not eating well.Thank you

I wasn’t eating well too after I gave birth, what I’m taking now is pregnacare for breastfeeding moms, it makes up for the nutrients I’m lacking. it’s expensive but it’s worth it, we’re 3months now and I plan to keep taking till I’m done with exclusive breastfeeding at 6months.. Your baby doesn’t need multivitamin if baby is feeding well, just place yourself on one.

I do not have PCOS and my period was very regular before I used the birth control

Okay.. thanks

realtalk19:



I can't relly say. I am on implanon and it's working well for me and I still see my period

Nice!!! Please do u have PCOS and was your period irregular before using birth control?

Loisemm:

My little contribution will be not to do any kind of family planning now till after at least your second child except finances is absolutely too tight. It's a more delicate situation for a former ttc mom. Billings natural family planning can still suffice for now. My opinion though.

Alright ma.. thank you!!!

Hi,

Please see your Gynae (preferably the one that helped manage the PCOS) he/she is in a better position to advise you. I personally suggest you go for non hormonal BC such as an IUD instead of hormonal methods

Alright I will... thank you!!!

Meeeeey:


I had hormonal imbalance (very irregular period) when I was in my teens n d Dr gave me family planning pills for 2 months. It corrected it for a while.

Before I took in my period was still irregular, I did d 2 months injection family planning and after d 2 months my period and ovulation has been so constant. It has never been this constant, for d past 3 cycles.

I think you can give it a try

Wow.. thank you for your reply please did u take the injection before or after childbirth? what’s the name of the injection so I can read and make enquiry about it.

Please mamas, I want to ask question about family planning.. I went to health Centre for consultation but didn’t get any useful answer. Is it wise for someone that battled with hormonal imbalance(PCOS) before childbirth to go on implant? One of the nurses told me birth control corrects hormonal imbalance but I’m having doubts about that.. will it worsen it, I would’ve gone for Billings method but my cycle was so irregular before I gave birth, so I’m kinda confused? Can someone with PCOS be on any kind of family planning/birth control? Please don’t read and pass.

Please mamas, when does colic go away?? My daughter is 2months and 2weeks and it’s still serious, she struggles and grunts when she’s sucking and pulls away and farts forcefully too while crying, to breastfeed her is problem because she will pull out and splash breastmilk all over her face and I think the breastmilk splash on her face is causing rashes on her face. Please when will this colic phase be over??

Akorkor:
Happy birthday to your son @jazzjazz.

@Anitaamich, you should still get a doctor to advise on your DD. May God protect them all.

Alright I will.

Hello madam how is the child doing this morning, I trust she is ok?

She’s doing fine now, she’s not sneezing again and I think the phlegm has even reduced. I will just keep giving her vit C only. Thank u very much!!!

rvpbae:


Thats a wholeeeee lot of silverbird. A drop or two is ok for a month old. You can give vitamin c and just watch her. She would be fine.

I’m giving her vit C already.. thank u very much!!!

Giddyperson:

She's already sneezing so she's getting it out of her system. Maybe you should open the windows a bit for fresh air.

Alright.. thank you!!!

Giddyperson:

Maybe you used too much Eucalyptus oil, could have been too harsh for her to inhale. You only need a drop or two.

Yeah I used too much, please do u think it will cause any serious harm? I’m really scared

obinnanelson4:
sneezing alot could be that your child is allergic to a substance near by or along the nostril. pls take the child to see a doctor. I pray for God hearing hands upon the child in Jesus Name.

Amen!!!

How old is ur baby?
Any thing dat has to do with baby's breath needs to be checked up at d hospital.

She’s 2months old

rvpbae:


What quantity of silverbird did you use? How old is she and have you done steam inhalation before?

I think I added plenty of it because I used a cup with cover, she’s 2months old.. I did steam inhalation yesterday but with mentholatum, I haven’t done with silverbird before. She’s awake now but has been sneezing a lot.

Please someone should come to my aid.. my baby has phlegm/mucus at the back of her throat and I tried to do steam inhalation with silverbird inorder to bring it out since she’s not able to cough it out, she started gasping for air and tried to cry but couldn’t, it was as if something was blocking her chest, it was scary... she’s sleeping and relaxed now though she’s still forcing her cry.. I’m really scared if it will Make her not to talk or cause further problems for her, should I rush her to hospital or let her sleep it out? Please what should I do? Help!!!

hunniesuzie:
No vex. You've gotten good advice now sha

All the best

Yes dear... thank you

myrygurl:



Don't be offended ma, 8weeks old is still fragile to try any medications. Its like symptoms of catarrh. You can use some portion of Shea butter mix with little mentholatum and rub across baby's nose bridge not inside nostrils, chest, back and feet. You can also apply on babys fontanelle (I used palm kernel oil mix with mentholatum but it can leave stain). It really helps in decongesting mucus. And please try and avoid fan and baby should always wear socks and cap and also covered in showel.

For the throwing up of breastmilk after feeding pls burp baby after feeding that is you place baby on your shoulder or baby sit on your lap while you rub or tap his back gently until he belch. Pls google "how to burp baby" so can understand better.

Hope this helps

Alright.. thank you!!!

Enkay12:
I'm experiencing same right now with my 16weeks old baby but it doesn't really affect her breath . Its cold.. Pls cover your baby well even when you feel the weather is hot, use mentholatum on the baby's chest after bathing. If it persists especially for the breath, go see the Doc pls.

Alright.. I pray your LO feels better!

Anitaamich:
Good morning mamas, please my 8 weeks old baby makes this snoring sound when she sleeps.. she sounds like she has catarrh but mucus isn’t flowing out from her nose, I only notice dry mucus when she wakes up in the morning. I also feel she has mucus in her throat cos she tries to cough out sometimes but nothing comes out. She also vomits breastmilk sometimes after feeding. Please how do I deal with this? Is there a way I can loosen the mucus so she can breath freely?

Please please please I’m still waiting for answers

Hello mama's in the house. Please, is it normal for one's aerola (hope I got d spelling ) to be dark, peppery and peeling during pregnancy? I've been having nipple pain, peeling and peppery aerola. I also observed those things that look like pimple, around the aerola has Increased in number+ it's painful too and there are days it'll disappear. I showed it to my friend who is a nurse and she told me its milk duct and I shouldn't be worried. I'm so scared and worried coz its still peeling and pepperry.

I'm going to the hospital tomorrow tho but I'm so scared. God help me.

Do u clean it with anything? It’s dry that’s why it’s peeling. I suggest u moisturize it always with Vaseline.

Wow.. congratulations cappo vannywealthDesi, and my November teamies whyworryPH and Anapuao.. may God bless your little ones, to the remaining waddling mamas, I pray for a supernatural delivery.

Went to the hospital and doctor said she’s fine, he checked and said she doesn’t have cold and the sound is normal in newborn and will stop, he also said her crying is okay that she’s just a quiet baby and might change overtime.. thank you for all your replies!

Good morning mamas, please my 2 weeks old daughter makes this catarrh sound when she’s breathing but she doesn’t have flu, it sounds like she has mucus inside but it isn’t coming out, don’t know if it’s normal.... also she finds it difficult to cry out, she just stretches and grunts when she wants to cry but doesn’t cry it out and when she eventually does, it’s not loud, is it something to be worried about? Please help
