Thank you all for the responses, was confused about the vaccines, saw 3 on the card I was given at health center, my hospital gives only 2 and a doctor told me 4 is to be given. Will go to the health center to get it.
As for the tips, the last time I fed him, I noticed there was small blood, is it safe to keep giving him cos when he burped, there was small blood that came out from his mouth. Should I just express or keep allowing him to suck

U cn really endure o,wen mine ws lik dt,I stopped bf nd kept pumping for abt 4 days so I applied heat compress nd shea butter till it heald up nd continued breast feedin.dt thing cn pain abeg

lamdec:
Hello.mamas, I know a lot of questions are yet to be answered but I will appreciate if this is answered. My baby is 15 days now and his placenta cord hasn't come off, my mum is kinda worried that it is taking too long. The doctors advice that I only clean it with cotton wool and methylated spirit but my mum is of the opinion that we should use heat compress on it. The stump looks fine, no smells, no discharge and it's shrinking but my mum thinks it's just taking too long. What else can I do, she is getting me to panic and I don't know if I should allow her use heat on his navel.

By heat compress guess u mean towel in hot water nd press wt it?if u ar my tribe(yoruba) it won't be new 2 u as its done on all babies av seen.ds is ao my mum did 4 my children even after it has fallen off till 3 mnths;after bathin bt b4 dryin d body she will put a small towel in hot water(nt too hot pls so dt d baby's body does nt burn)nd press d navel wt all d surrounding,then dip d towel in d water again nd raise it directly 2 d navel hole(belly button)nd let it drop like tap,she may do it 3 times at every bath.ds does nt stop u frm cleanin evry 2 hours wt cotton wool nd spirit.put ur mind at rest nd speak 2 d doc too,my nephew's own fell after 3 weeks

bossladymo1:


He might be lactose intolerant. Stop all milk and milk products....and give him beans as his major source of protein.

Okay ma,av stopped giving him milk since 4 days ago nd d stooling has reduced 2 once a day.am really grateful 4 ur help.may God bless u nd ur children

NoQualms1:


I'm sure she's right. I bought it for N600 in my area too. I will check Shoprite after I close from work now.

@ Megilicious, the first pregnancy sign I noticed was headache before nausea set in. I had the same symptom with my first. Just do an home pregnancy test and be sure. Not trying to scare you though.

Mamas, I'm loosing weight seriously o. I don't know what could cause it. Everyone is complaining. Could it be because I'm breas.tfeeding while pregnant?

Eeya sori maam,its a phase dt wil pass,bf alone is exhausting nt 2 talk of bf while preg,bt didn't ur GP say u shld stop?

tchiwinnie:
1) How old s ur baby?
2) For how long had he taken peak123 b4 u noticed d frequent stooling?
3)Wot else does ur lo eat apart frm d milk.
Also note dat inmost cases of diarrhoea in children, hygiene s usu implicated.

Thanks 4 d response ma,he is 19 mnths,abt d stooling he's been lk dt 4 a long time bt d doc jst told me 2 stop addin soya nd nuts 2 his food,then I also stoppd d peak 123.I resumd 2 mnths ago nd d frequent stoolin startd,bt wt cow nd gate it came wt mucus.he eats frm d family table.everythin abt d children ar handled well cos his brother eats d same thin wt him nd no probs

franky2013:
@tchiwinnie n other mamas dat experienced dis pls come to my rescue oo, my LO is having Earache i noticed it yesterday morning when she touched her ear n started crying, even when i tried touching she wont allow me, (no discharge) last night she couldnt sleep, i took her to see a doc this morning, after checking d ear he gave us malaria drugs( Lonart despersable, locinnant or so n a cough syrub) meanwhile we treated malaria just two weeks ago n she was given injection for three days( Arthemeter pls dont mind d spelling) n drugs( fansidar n dis same Locinnant, wit vit c n paracetamol) n we just completed d drugs on friday. pls can i still give her d malaria drugs again? n for the ear pain will dis same drugs stop it? she has cough n running nose for more than three weeks now, she no longer eat well like she use to for more than three weeks. sorry for d long torri, plss i make una help us oooo

bossladymo1:


He could be lactose intolerant. I would stay of milk for now. Let him eat a lot of beans, he can get the much needed protein from it. Also, buy him a multivitamin to make up for the nutrients he isn't getting because of the lack of milk intake.

Hubby nd I guessed as such too,d doc also said maybe,av nt given him milk 4 days now nd he is really improving.he was given emzor multivitamin bt d doc said I shld nt gv him now til d stoolin stops totally .thanks nd God bless

Gd day mothers,av nt been able 2 post or even read pple's posts 4 days now cos my lo has been battling wt diarrhea,I recently changed his milk 4rm peak 123 to cow nd gate nuri junior cos peak 123 made him stool a lot bt I think he is reactin 2 smthin in d cow nd gate,after a few days of takin it he startd stoolin terribly wt mucus in it.we rushd him 2 d hosp on sat nd d doc said he ws dehydrated despite d ORS dt I gave him,he ws given sm drugs nd av stoppd givin him d milk,ther is improvement now.pls which milk should I giv him or I shld nt giv him any again?I ws so scared o bt my God took control.pls advise on d type of milk.thanks

franky2013:
A very big tnx Mumz, will try this out, my fear is just d night, she is so use to it. tnx alot

DH works til sat and uses his sun to rest, he coms bak late frm work cos of lagos hold-up, my only assigned job is to do d normal wife chores in d aos bt I can't even keep up to task*sad face*. My 7months old boy won't lemme leave his side. He plays on his own bt I av to b there wt him else he's cry of fall *learning to stand on his own*. DH doesn't buy d idea of creche for LO cos he feels I'm not doing anytin so I gat no excuse. I'm even afraid of some creche nowadays dt wl giv ur child syprigold. Meanwhile, my LO would play on his own b4 bt after he clocked 3months, he just changed, he won't even sleep in d aftnu(He doesn't cry oo). He won't lemme bak him wen he's nt sleeping, now sef he has refused his formula and na only bossom milk making my work double. I cry most times cos *i don't kno sha*. I c my aos chores dt I'm suppose to do bt I can't even finish up and wen DH com, I wl stl b in d kitchen preparing dinner. I envy mothers that had pple around them to carry their baby for them while dey av time to do 1 or 2 tins. Ds my appartment na mind ur own business, nobody to talk to........sooo boring and annoying

Hmmmmmm,welcome 2 ma world,urs na 1 abi?mine na 2 boys wt no help nd DH doesn't wnt 2 hear of creche though d older boy goes 2 skul nd comes bac 2pm.wt I do?wakes up 2 bath d 3 of us,carries d 2 of them 2 go nd drop d older at skul,comes bac 2 do house chores(sweepin nd washin of plate I leave washin of cloth till weekend wen DH wil be around 2 load them in d machine)eats bfast wt him nd lie on d bed wt him pretendin 2 fall asleep,it didn't work at 1st bt later workd so now its a routine,wakes up 2 prepare lunch till bus brings my son,after lunch I start prep dinner so I wil av time 2 relax.then I start all over again d foll day

bossladymo1:


He is pooing after every feed? That's not normal. Stooling is a very easy way to lose weight. There has to be an underlying cause. Have you told the doc he poos this many times in a day?

Pap wont do anything. Pap is majorly water. That's why they even advise b.feeding mums to take it.

Mine poops after every meal too nd its been going on 4 a while,been 2 d hosp cos of it severally,stool culture,widal test etc av been done.he ws given zinc nd ors 4 10 days.it went nd came bac,ds time wt mucus(sori if its gross)on zinc nd ors again.av decided 2 be prayin 4 him day nd night.he weighs 9 kg at 10 mnths nd d same 9kg now at 19 mnths.

Hi sweet mothers,

My baby will be 8 months on Friday.

He is not growing as he should. We went for 6 months immunisation last Friday of June(he was 7 months 16 days then) , he weighted 5.6kg. In short infact, he was the smallest baby among 6 and 7 months babies that came for the immunisation. Shame nearly killed me.

He stopped taking cerelac so I decided to buy pap. In the process of buying the pap, the seller asked me who wants to drink it, I told her my baby. She said why this small baby(imagine how small my baby is for her to say it). Then I told her my baby is approaching 8 months. Immediately, she removed my baby's socks and checked his leg. She said something is eating him up inside that it happened to her daughter too. She said my baby won't grow, that it can even kill.

Con see fear for my heart

Alagbo woman checked his tummy and showed us green veins.


Though, my landlord said he knows it, that if I was in the village they will bath him with herbs and I will see the worm abi snail eating him coming out from his body.

To cut the long story short, my baby is taking agbo now. My Mil is giving him the agbo by force.



Abeg who has experienced this or have any idea about it?

I dey find my menses ooo. I need prayers. 3 days late

Wisdom is also needed here so as nt 2 offend MIL,my 1st was around 6 weeks wen my grandma came cos I ws at hometown wt ma mum nd said smthin was eatin my boy up,in short he was bathed wt agbo nd palm kernel which ws later broken nd I saw hair coming out of it.ws tld my baby swallowd hair in d tummy.though I didn't bliv it bt d stomach ache stopped.why nt go 2 a pead if u dnt want agbo?u ar d mum nd u av d right 2 object.

joyousf:


thanks my sister. I'd try that with black soap too. I used to dry his body n it indeed stains the towel. I bath him morning n night with the water o.

Yes. Mrning nd night bt after u might av used ordinary water,dnt dilute it.soap is nt necessary in d night so as nt 2 dry d skin out

joyousf:
for mamas that use this red acalypha leaves to bath their babies. how do u do it? do u boil d leaves anytime u want to bath n use d entire water to bath d baby?

what I do is boil a large qty n keep use it for abt two days. I mix the leaves water with his bathing water. I'm wondering if its working as well as it should maybe I have to boil daily n use the entire pot of water to bath him at once.

thanks

This is ao mum taught me nd it workd;boil a large qty dt can tak u 4 abt 3 - 4 days,bathe ur baby normally wt black or seba med soap,b4 bathin d baby put d flower water in a small cup close 2 u,dnt dry d baby's body just use d flower water 2 rinse his body frm head 2 toe.wrap him wt a wrapper wtout cleaning I.e let it dry on him.pls use a clean wrapper dt u cn 4gt abt cos it stain a lot.

Chyvy:


Pls where can I get the black soap? Or maybe I'm the one making a mistake here . A yoruba woman that sells herbs gave me the soap after complaining to her when my baby had ela. Its a bit brownish with a pap consistency. Its not irritating the way u've described it as I've bn using it on my LO. I've always assumed what she gave me was dudu osun

Hahahahaha,u got it all wrong my sis,u were given d real black soap,dudu osun is packaged nd sold in shops.urs is good nd works.I also use 4 my baby

Chinyeaka85:
Lovely mother's, pls what is KAFURA?

According to grandmas they say it is inuwo in yoruba meaning colic in English. When I took him to the hospital, the doctor said he will outgrow it and we should not administer any drug. So i v left him. I also notice it is reducing sha. My Lo poos alot o, dont even know if it is after every feed but I observed it's quite a lot and was told it's normal. The quantity of the poo is always small, except maybe once or twice a day that it is much.
I dont think we should worry much about these things.

Yea they ar very correct cos my baby spent d 1st 2 mnths in d village.its inuwo nd he wil outgrow it bt press well wt hot water 2 relieve him

Hello vigilante Mamas, my LO is a month old but strains n grunts each tym he sleeps, dis gives me so much concern. Dnt knw wat to do? Anyone wit d same exp?
Secondly what kind of food can I eat to boost my breastmilk supply? Tnks for prompt response.

My 1st child did it a lot frm 3 weeks,went 2 d hosp nd doc said nothin so my mum's sis came nd said its either stomach pain due 2 d navel or d baby will be fat(trust yoruba mamas now)I will press d navel well wt warm water while bathin him nd use lantern in d afternoon(pls ask 4 directn b4 u try it o).bt true 2 her word d boy is veeeery big

joyousf:


yes. thanks
@backing: he can refuse o. wat I do is yo breastfeed him to sleep on d breast n then transfer him to d back. but sometimes even that method no go work. plus I think this sleeping on d breast is a bad habit I'm allowing him form but don't know how to break it cos that's what makes him sleep sometimes. I wish he is old enough to fall asleep on his own. my mum says its too early

That's comfort breastfeeding o,once he is usd 2 itt,he won't fall asleep on his own nd weaning wil be a problem.I advise u stop it nd let him fall asleep wt lullaby,my hubby has a song 4 d children which includes their names nd up till nw even my 3 year old cn fall asleep wen he sings it.sing nd sing instead of breastfeedin in case u leave him wt someone 2 go out.
