Good evening world people.. Plz I need help. My 2weeks old baby girl has some rashes on her neck. She is quit fleshy down there (neck area) .. It hurts her more when the room is hot ( I almost cried with her this afternoon).. My sister recommended ABF3 cream for me to apply on the affected area. I don't know if her skin is ready enough for such creams. Plz if anyone has conquered this situation, Biko help me out here.. Thanking you all in advance

zaynie:
It won't affect him.
These are regular foods that we eat

zaynie:
Crush ginger, soak in hot water, add lemon/lime and honey..
Drink, gurgle.
It always works cos ginger has strong anti-inflammatory properties, lemon is a good antioxidant and disinfectant and honey is just soothing and sweet

OmoLayo29:
for the sore throat, drink warm water. you can add little salt. sorry u hear

XX01:

Twogreatnations:
Worry not dear. As long as he is satisfied , happy and gains weight. Mine spends max 5 mins and get distracted easily but the breastmilk runs like a tap.

Naomi14:
Lol! Normal Rice with stew then tea. My breast will full eh, it will even be pouring. try it. Your own baby wants to eat, my lo doesn't like to eat. She sucks for only 7mins in 2-3hrs. The rest will just be pouring out

Giddyperson:
This is me too, I thought I was imagining things, I could have sworn this baby doesn't like to see me relax. She would sleep o as Lon as I'm not sleeping, once I lie down to sleep my own she'd wake up, she'd keep doing this until I give up on the sleep and face something else then she would sleep 4 hours straight.

Speaking of diapers....
We have 'broken up' with Molfix o.. We nor do again!

We now use babyland diapers. It's super absorbent and very nice.

The one in the picture sells for 2500.

Akorkor:
I really have no idea cos Hubby bought it.

Akorkor:
NO ma, I dont express at work.

My daily plan is this. When i get home like 5:30pm, i let her suck from anyone of the breast, either left or right but its only one side then put her down on playmat in front of me, plug my breastpump( I use lansinoh-for manual, Tommee Tippee-Electric) So most of the time i use Tommee Tippee) Pump 180ml for that evening then store in the fridge. Woke up 5am in the morning to repeat the same thing. That i have my 360ml. This is what i do for Monday- Friday

hunniesuzie:
Let me answer the one I can

Persevere. He'll eventually take the bottle, most likely from other people but don't stop trying. Leave the room completely when it's feeding time

For storage, breastmilk stays 6 hours in open air, 3-4 days in the fridge, 6 months in a deep freezer (it must be frozen consistently oh, so light must be pretty regular

To defrost don't warm. Bring out from freezer to fridge then out in open air a couple of hours before feeding. Best way is to allow the milk achieve room temp naturally. Other option is to put bottle in a bowl of hot/warm water

Jina24:
I know my post might be ignored as am not an active maa. But let me sha still talk. When I had to resume work and my baby was just 3months + i tried using bottles to feed her but it was war. I had to tell my mum and sis cos she was to stay with them when I resume to feed her with cup and spoon while still trying to teach her to use the bottle. My baby adjusted very fast. I guess cos she wasnt seeing me.

My baby rejected all the formular I bought. She will be 10months next week and i still drop a reasonable quantity of expressed breastmilk for her before leaving for work. Feeding her with cereal and breastmilk to me is not a bad idea.

Let me just rant here


kai! today has been 1 helluva day....

my dd fell off the bed where i dropped her to mix palm oil +sugar for her cough. she cried for like 2 mins and stopped, but i have never seen her cry that way b4. everything just happened in a flash... i started crying with her.
Dh heard her crying and rushed in to the room, i couldn't even lie about what happened. Since then he has been giving me 'that look' (now i wish i lied to him about what happened). My LO is fine , she is playing with her papa and cruising away in her walker now, but I just throw some glances her way from time to time.
gosh! how did i get carried away

I am stressed.....taking care of my dd and managing my home all by myself isn't an easy task. Some nights I just breakdown and cry (I don't think I am depressed, sometimes it's just hard to deal). I am even beginning to analyse 2nd missionary journey and telling myself that adding 1 more baby to the mix will just 'kee' me finally.

my weight gives me concern too, my belle no just gree go inside.....i don tire to dey wear girdles and all what not.. I googled how to check for diastatis recti and checked my abdomen, and I felt a space.
hmmmm..........na me kuku go find 'googoo' trouble

what else sef?!! I need an extra income source.....salary nor de reach anything again o!


End of rant!!

Hope we all are having a great weekend.

Sooooo mamas let me share my experience this week !

Dd has been having a bit of congestion and we suspected that she may have a sore throat as well. It was generally ok during the day, however at night there were a few wheezing moments.

So i tuesday, i stayed home to watch her as she was really not her usual self. I noticed she was breathing very loudly and seemed to be using a lot of energy taking in deep breaths. Plus her cough just sounded nasty! ( note: this is after all the steam inhalation, olbas, eucalyptus combo for 3 days oh)

So i took her to the local doctor.... that was where i was told, we need to call you an ambulance. If she appears to have breathing difficulty, it needs to be treated as an emergency!

Eh hen! Ok oh. Before i could say "aturupoyoyo" Out came the nebuliser with steriods being administered and we even got the full siren treatment to the larger hospital. I have never been attended to so quickly in my life..lol!

Long story short she had Croup! Which is a a result of a viral cough, but it causes the airways to be inflamed and swell up resteicting the flow of air. Symptoms are difficulty breathing and "barking" cough - which basically sounds like a high pitched bark. She had to have an oral steriod administered to reduce the swelling and low and behold the child that was doing wan-kind before was now running amok and scattering the whole hospital.

It apparently usually affects children between 6mo - 5 yrs and ranges in seriousness from mild to moderate and severe. older children and adults may have it but it hardly developes into severe cases. And it happens mostly or starts at night.

Just thought to share in case it may help anyone.

DD is doing good now.

AlphaHandMaiden:
the exact same thing a younger child needs diapers for.
if you have a child with learning or physical difficulties or disability issues, one may even need diapers and other incontinence products till the children are much older than that. some even till adulthood.

highway007:
was telling me same thing too
Guess is not yet time for our test

chisophia:
Please who can enlighten me on cutting of a tied tongue in a 2months old baby

jazzyjazz:
Amen o my sister.
We're still in the hospital and I'm told they might admit him. He still has a fever and temperature is still 38.8.
May God really keep our Los. It's not easy at all!

Ok Mamas goodevening. Come help me out in this.

We have just started second semester last week with seminar topics already distributed. Baby is 8 weeks today. Please what is my best option. Start baby on formulae and be dropping him with MIL who lives close by. Buy baby carrier and be taking him along to classes. My classes are four times in a week; two courses on Friday 10-3pm.

I can't afford creche now and won't even consider it at his age.( if at all there are schools that take that age). Also, option of Nanny is out of it. The challenge with MIL is that she travels always especially Friday's to Monday's. Secondly, there are lots of people living in her house. Anytime baby goes there, that is how they transfer him from one hand to the other, from room to room, bed to bed, chair to chair( and they always read meaning to any caution,) My mum is managing her health so not available.

Please what option is the best? Thank u al
