Chyvy:Oh really,?? Thanks. I used it the second time around based on recommendation with no side effect. I guess I don't have the patience to wait it out. |

OmogeNG: Well said...and babies eventually out grow cradle cap whether it is treated or not. The oil soaking method is just a way of managing/controlling it. My munchkin does not have it anymore and all I did was use olive oil and shampoo. |

CharmyBliz: The IUD(coil) is what I'm on now. I used it before this current LO and I had it for 4 years....but you have to be able to bear the monthly pain and heavy bleeding. I dread my AF every month. My gynecologist tried to convince me to go on the pill, saying it has 100% success rate.... but I said No. I would rather deal with the pain than get fat. Any mother know of a BC pill that doesn't make you gain weight? |

MiracleMum: MiracleMum thanks for speaking about information clarity. I have learnt to always cross-check, verify and confirm any online recommendation before I apply it. This reminded me of a uk nurse that killed her 10 months old toddler through incorrect feeding method. It is not our portion ijn but we have to be extra careful. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2060305/Nurse-Gloria-Dwomoh-force-fed-baby-death-jailed.html |

mamacajah: My comment was directed at the mum who suggested this pap, beans and plantain mixture for her 3 months old. Yes, beans is great from 9 months, it is certainly not recommended for a 3 month old infant. And again, it should be peeled and mashed/pureed and feed to a baby with a spoon. This is just my opinion....the ultimate decision on what to feed your baby is still yours to make. 1 Like |

mamacajah: You want to give your 3 months old beans? God help you o. Beans can make a 6 months old poo to oblivion not to talk of a 3 months old. Its your baby, your choice. 5 Likes |

PeyButtons: Instead of lime,why not try vitamin C drops for babies. Lime is very acidic can actually erode away the lining of an infant's intestine, cause diarrhoea and digestive problems later in future. In as much as i advocate natural remedies, we need to consider the age at which these natural remedies are appilcable. lime and lemon can be given to babies of 10-12 months old 2 Likes |

Keji3: Your LO is colicky just like most infants. Do you use hot compress on her tummy?? You can also use your finger tips to gently massage below her belly button in a circular motion. This will help release the gas stuck in her stomach and also help her poop. Orange juice is a NO..NO unless approved by your paediatrician. |

bimsusy: I don't think babies can have dandruff. It is called cradle cap. What I did for my LO was, pour olive oil on his head, wait 5-10 mins and comb out with a fine tooth comb. There is a special shampoo for it though. 1 Like |

Gratefulaheart: Every baby has the pulsating soft spot until 18 months. You don't have to worry. As long as it is not bulging or sunken and your baby is striving. My paediatrician recommended Vitamin D drops for exclusively breastfed babies to promote closure of the soft spot. |

FINA4804: Fact: babies can digest cow milk from 1 year old. That is standard all over the World. Whenever you chose to introduce cow milk should be your personal choice. Please I would like to see a source that says babies shouldn't take cow milk at 1 year old. You must have been reading a formula company's marketing site. |

Lateralmaths: If the cough is accompanied by fever, give paracetamol, lots of fluids ( breast milk) and let your LO breath in steam with drops of eucalyptus oil. It is caused by the normal common cold virus, no medication is required. Go to your paediatrician if symptoms persist. |

tchiwinnie: Babies can digest cow milk from 1 year old. All those toddler milks are clever marketing schemes. Make sure that when you switch to cow milk, your LO's meals are well balanced or you give multivitamin. Choi 3 years!!!! dem don take u sell market. |

shndy: For example, my baby takes 180ml which is 6 scoops of formula. For spoon feeding cereal, I make 120ml (4 scoops) of formula....pour it in his bowl and add enough cereal to get this consistency. Make sure you make the formula in a bottle first, shake it to dissolve properly before pouring in a bowl. 1 Like

favoredgal: You are missing the point. A product meant for babies and it has 90% negative reviews If you are amongst the lucky 10%, take it and run with it. I was just trying to refute the claim the Johnson's products made in this USA are good while the ones made in Nigeria or South Africa are bad. |

Onegai: I don't make my own laundry detergent oooo!! Lol I wish I could. You are right abt Aveeno not being natural. I doubt if anything made commercially can be natural because you would have to consider preservatives, PH adjusters and stabilisers, some of which are toxins. Aveeno is the better of the two products. I make most my baby food actually but I aint crunchy, otherwise I would be cloth diapering and baby wearing. My baby is on the big side. He weighs 8kg at 4 months 1 week. I try to go as organic as I can for this LO.

nefertitiram: Johnsons products all over the world has lots of parabens which causes allergic reactions in babies. Aveeno is 100% better. Yes, Aveeno is made by Johnsons and Johnsons but it is more natural. |

shndy: If you are spoon feeding cereal, add as much milk to get the right consistency. You are right, thr is nothing like too much milk. I make my own puddings, purees,smoothies. The only things i buy now r just formula and cereal. I'll suggest not adding milk to fruit puree, just let your baby get accustomed to the taste of fresh fruits. You can sometime add milk and bottle feed as smoothie. |

FINA4804: I live in the UK and only some white babies here can use Johnson successfully. Their product is full of parabens. I guess you are one of the lucky few whose babies don't react to Johnson. If it works you, stick to it. 1 Like |
