Hello mamas....my baby is 6 month today. And we tried pap for the first time....the guy was loving it but started crying when ever o remove spoon from his mouth to take pap. He wants the spoon to remain in his mouth while pap keeps flowing (he things it's like breast). And please I need help

1. How do mamas prepare pap and milk for babies.....what I did was make the pap directly on the fire and I discovered that when I added sma gold to the pap, it started to become watery as the pap gets cold.

2. please is there anything I can add to the pap apart from milk.

3. How much milk should I put.

Please make una pity first time mum like me....una thank you.

Akorkor:


Thanks. @liftedhands, thank you too. Am going to pediatrician tomorrow. I can't shout. Although my mum said is teething poo but anyhow doctor go tell us what's up. Will give you guys update tomorrow by Gods grace

Teething often increases the amount of saliva your baby produces and swallows, leading to a greenish and looser stool.

For me what I did is to stop taking the nifedipine because I was not understanding why I shld go through all that headache in the name of bringing my blood pressure down, my husband went into deep research and found out that I can take lebatelol and lisinopril (my bp was very very high)....so right now my bp has dropped from 162/113 to 132/96, 130/90... lebatelol was prescribed to me from the general hospital here so I only added lisinopril...plz stop taking the nifedipine..

lebatelol is one med I can forget. Was given when my blood pressure was rising after CS. Works well

Hello mothers
Please, what should I do my baby is 2 years and 4 months, has been eating well all of a sudden she stopped eating for 2 weeks now. She doesn't eat anything except drinking tea and she is loosing weight.

Have you deworm her in the last 6 months

Akorkor:


Why in haste mama!!!You may start training your baby finger food from 8 month upward not six month. You are just introducing him to a new world of solid so eating on his own is a NO NO now. Also, sit booster is good. Although i bought it but to be frank with you, i haven't used it for more than 4 or 5 times sef. Who get time? Unless you have time but at that early age some babies wont open their mouth normally so you need to put him in your arms and feed him with spoon with patient. I hope this helps.

Ohhhh....I didn't know.thank you so much

Oh my, this page is going very fast, good one. Thanks to the mamas that answered my questions few pages back. Please my baby will soon be 6 month, he has been on EBF. I already know what to start with but my question is, is it necessary to get sit booster for him and can I start to allow him to eat somethings on his own, lets say carrot, apple and other orishirishi?

Good day better mom, May God crown all our effort with laughter. I have two questions.

I just discovered small small rash in front of my son's genital both his penis and his balls, please does anyone have an idea what it is.

My son just clocked 5 months and he is yet to sit. I just want to know the process of sitting i.e like how look will it take him to starting siting on his own.

Akorkor:


Please tell me more. I don't know about black soap oh!!! Her doctor recommend dove soap from birth and that's what am still using. Which one be black soap again and ho do you mix baby oil and Vaseline together?

hotmomma:
BlackFTM, infact I noticed some bad rashes on both sides of my son's thighs too, infact molfix leaks so badly now in just a few hours, one mama talked about babyhugg, anoda Nigerian Pampers. I would try babyhugg when this molfix finishes.

Thank you mamas for this great respond i will try to get either of the two @ ajah

Wonderful mothers. Please what other diaper can I get for my baby a part from molfix. Please pampers is out of it. I will to try another type because just noticed like a patch on my baby's upper thigh.

goodfortun:
Hi blessed mums. Please for those that used feeding bottles; which sort of sterilizer did you use; manual; electric and what brand? Thanks!

I use milton sterilising tablets which is a cold water sterilization method. I discovered and was told that boiling or using boiled water for bottle spoil the teats. They change colour and they become weak ovee time.

luscioustrish:



Try supporting his back with pillows n also gently rub his back when he's sitting like that,its a gradual process..

Thanks ma'am

hunniesuzie:
Looooool this was me a month ago. He's fine, let him suck his feet, dont keep him seated for too long

Thank you ma'am. But will he eventually sit up

Mamas please I need your help. My son will be 5 months next week and I had started sitting him up like 3 weeks ago but he is yet to sit with his back straight. When ever I sit him down, he usually bend and try sucking his socks. Is this normal, won't his back get bent? Please teach me the right way to go about this sitting stuff...thank you so much

queensnow:
My son @ 2months 18days has started teething, have bought teething powder mama biko wat else can I use as he runs temperature too buh d temperature is like nepa light.
Moreover is itching gum part of d package too?
He will cry uncontrollable as his gum itch and use any available cloth to rub his mouth

A doctor friend of mine adviced against the use of teething powder (please be aware that I have never used it and other mums may have different opinions). So I personally use piccan. It already has paracetamol so you don't need to give another paracetamol.

Wonderful mothers....ina Good afternoon o...

Abet I need advice....I have cough and I don't know if I should get cough med because I am EBF. what do you think

I want to thank every mother that responded, you guys are super.

We are always learning.....after all I am a good mother.

He has been playing, his poo is good and feeding normal.

Well, today is my birthday, I just had the courage to go out with him.

Thanks mamas.

Itissettled3:
Hello dearie. Sorry about what happened.

You are not a bad mother.

Look into the mirror and repeat after me.

I
BLACKFTM
IS
NOT
A
BAD
MOTHER.

For your son, I suggest you call your paediatrician but I guess nothing is wrong. It's just a drop then please I don't think putting your hand down his throat is a good idea.
Giving him milk is a better option. Milk neutralizes. Other mamas will respond sooner. He will be ok. Feed him milk for now.

Thanks so much for your reply...thank you

hunniesuzie:
You're not a bad mother. It can happen, thankfully you detected in time, he spat out the milk and it's just a drop. Observe his poo and eating pattern for the next few hours, if you see anything strange no matter how slight hospital straight. I suggest next time, you take the vitamin d supplements yourself, he'll get it in the milk.

But you are not a bad mother. And you're not a failure

Thanks so much this means a lot

Liftedhands:
He will be fine but if you are worried kindly take him to the Hospital with the olbas oil for checkup.
Huggs

Thanks love for the support

sugah:
BlackFTM and every mom (and dad) on here should endeavor to search for and join"ask the pediatricians" page on Facebook.
I have learnt a lot from there.
One of the doctors narrated something, I can't seem to find the exact post so I'd just try and summarize as best as I can remember.
A child was thirsty and kept asking his mom and others in the house for water... everyone was quite busy and ignored his request. The child went ahead to search for water himself and found a bottle of water and drank the contents...but alas, the contents wasn't water but bleach! The mom in trying to Induce vomiting poured Palm oil down the boys throat....it was too much for his lungs(I think) and he couldn't breathe and ended up dying.
The doctors seriously warned against trying to Induce vomiting. The first aid for consumption of poisonous substance is 'giving milk'. Milk neutralizes poisonous substance. They said in this instance, the bleach wouldn't have killed the child, but trying to Induce vomiting did.


Lessons I learnt from that unfortunate event was:
1: Never put poisonous substances in water bottles
2: Never try to Induce vomiting when poison is inadvertently ingested.



BlackFTM, keep giving your baby milk and go see a pediatrician just to be sure he is ok.

Thanks for the insight....I will follow them sharp sharp
