gud days mama in d house...pls my baby hv crashes on her Bobo where she wear Pampers....d place is red.... pls what can I apply to it...dere will dry d surface...xank u

Try to air dry as much as possible. I did everything to prevent my daughter for having diaper rash, but she still had it. I kept on applying her diaper cream and wash her bum with water after every diaper change and let it air dry for 30 minutes before wearing her diaper. When i'm less busy, I remove her diaper and hand fan her bum.

The rashes faded after a week.

Alcohol and fragrance free soaps are good for babies, but no matter how good the soaps are they still have ingredients in them that strips out moisture from the baby's skin, thereby leaving the body dry.

Everyday use of this soap causes the baby's body to dry out. 5 months old baby can't play as hard as a 2 years old. That's to say your baby's skin is clean, only water will do.

I have been using one sabamed soap on my baby since she was 3 months, i'm still using that soap ( it's remaining small sha)

My first child had reoccurring dry skin because I used soap morning and night to bathe him.

My daughter I bathe with water everyday but I use soap 2 times in a week. Her still is so fine, no rash or eczema.

Just minimise the way you use soap on your baby and watch his skin. Ori, coconut and palm kernel oil is the best.

Also reduce chemical when it comes to your baby. I use pure water to bathe her, so I don't come close to savlon.

[quote author=Tessie89 post=78310709]Good evening Sabi Mamas, thank u all for ur timely response and not getting tired of all the JJCs in the house.

Good afternoon mummys. Pls I discovered that my 1month old baby's ear is bringing out pus. Pls does anybody as an experience of this and what can I do?

Same thing happened to my daughter. It happened when she was 2 months. I guess it was Bathing water that enter her ear. I sometimes forget to clean her ear after bathe.
My husband got some antibiotics for her( he is a medical doctor). I only gave her for few days and started cleaning her ears immediately after bath.

I heard it goes away eventually even without medication, but see a doctor to prescribed antibiotics for her, and endeavour to clean her ears after bathing her.

Hello mamas..longest..

pls i need your help..my 4months baby's hair is so strong.

I only apply baby oil after bath and comb..plus can i make her her now? Like puff puff..

plus i think she has a dry skin at her back..her back looks dry and has kinda dry patches..

i use shea butter as her cream cuz of her skin ish off and on..
but i have johnson baby lotion which i vnt started using on her..

Should i start using the johnson nd free shea butter?..
Pls help me..

2) she makes a funny sound like whistle it started just a week ago..i really dnt like that sound..should i be worried..?

For your baby, you can start the puff puff, but not too tight. Don’t use her Bathing soap to wash her hair, it makes the hair dryer and strong. You can get a baby satin hair bonnet ( check @bows_babies on instagram get one) to protect her hair after bathe.

For baby skin, I love shea butter. I use palm kernel oil and shea butter on my baby. I bathe my baby everyday, but I use soap twice a week on her. Soap strips the natural oil of the baby. Sometimes, I go days without using oil on her and her skin is good.

Keep using shea butter or palm kernel oil and avoid using soap on her daily.

Hey mums,please has anyone used baby hair products from Wura's hair secret on Instagram? Her products are quite pricey I want to be sure it is very effective. My baby girl is 6weeks old and her hair isn't the way I planned in my head for it to be...lol. Please if anyone knows any other product that will prevent hair shedding and also help her grow I will appreciate it. Thanks.

Cc: Zaynie,Giddyperson and other sabi mamas.

They have varieties of kids or baby hair product in big supermarket. Just read the ingredients and look out for natural product in them.

Avoid using hair shampoo on her all the time, use conditioner instead. I use cantu kids conditioner. I can send you the picture if you want to see.

Must importantly use baby hair bonnet to cover your babies hair. Their hair drys out a lot and also they love to sleep on a particle position which causes their hair to cut more.

I sell newborn, infant, toddler and adult satin hair bonnet.

I started taking care of my daughter hair the moment we left the hospital. You can check us at @bows_babies on instagram to see her hair and order hair bonnet for you baby.

Good day mamas, just had my baby this afternoon and my breast is not lactating at all plus my nipples are inverted. What do I do pls?

Give it time, it will. Always put your baby's mouth on your nipple to suck, do that whenever your baby is awake. Drink hot tea and pepper soup.

Also it's too early to start bring out milk. It took 3 days for milk to start coming out from my breast. It start with water like discharge, then yellowish milk, finally proper milk.
I never gave up, I kept putting her mouth on my nipples to suck.

Afternoon mamas ,please wat food can i introduce to my baby, she will be 6 month by April 1.please help

My baby is 6 months, she just started eating. Not really sha, more like tasting the food. I bought rice cereal. I have made up my mind to be making all her purees.

Start with rice cereal, gradually and gently introduce your baby to other meal.

And also a spoon of Rice cereal for starter, increase when they show sign that they want more, so you wouldn't waste the cereal.

Morning mamas abeg chook mouth for this matter. It's about my small haers flask. This flask has been on point since I got it, it kept water hot for about 2days, even pap when I was nursing. Recently, I started putting hot water for my son's cereal to school and I discover it doesn't last again. Maximum now is about 4 hours, it's confusing cos it's stainless steel unlike glass flask that can be broken. What could have gone wrong

Babies make different sound while sleeping or awake.

For breast milk try eating fruits that has sugar. Eat almond and Avocado too.
