I saw my Gynae today, he said I should start weaning my baby off brea.stmilk. I felt so sad when he told me, my baby likes it so much.

Eeya sori my sis,ws also wonderin wen u tld me d doc said u shld cont cos I was told otherwise bt wanted u 2 confirm first.some children stop on their own at dis stage so dnt beat ursef 2 it,jst giv him a good milk nd ur gynae shld recommend supplement 4 d baby o cos weaning cn make them feel weak at ds stage.

yes o. its possible. I've seen children that their friends inserted stone in their ear or tiny seed. just tiny objects. the child can even do so himself. u know children to them its all part of playing. the Lord keep them o.

Ftm with tons of questions please senior mamas, no vex.
First is please which shampoo can be used and do i have to do all of the hair special care for my son, although I plan to do afro for him till he is 1 cos he is very hairy.
Second is I noticed some rashes on my son's face, I felt it can't be heat rashes cos its only on his face and that's the part of his body that is never covered. I feel it's a reaction but I don't know to what, he uses coconut oil as cream and Johnson soap to bathe.
Lastly, please which family method has the lesser side effect?

D rashes may be due to him achieving a milestone,I use agnesia powder nd it works 4 my 2 children if its original.abt d hair even me wan do afro bt eela chop d hair finish.I had implant contraceptive fixd,d 1st 3 mnths was hellish as I bled seriously bt its almost 9 mnths nw nd am very okay as it has settled.I think its beta 2 do test first

Its a niece of mine, she suddenly fell down inside brt and was rushed to the hospital, this was last week. She was treated n discharged, just on Saturday again she started convulsing, she's still in the hospital now on oxygen. So some old women thr was saying it's Ile tutu say the mama shd Av done the agbo for her since little so as to prevent this from happening. Av bn trying to even find the oyinbo name of d Ile tutu so as to know more about it but seems nobody knows.

Search seizure or convulsion,one of my friend's twins has it nd they kept sayin its ile tutu wen b4 service ends she wld fall 3 times nd we wld pray 4 her 2 come bac 2 life,she falls even while playin,wen they took her 2 national hosp in abj she was askd 2 go 4 MMR nd CT scan wher it ws revealed dt a part of her left brain is damaged,they ar still on it o nd b4 u knw it d girl's right hand stoppd functionin nd d speech is nt clear.pls tell her 2 use a good hosp so dt they wil detect wateva it is on time

Yoruba mamas pls what's ile tutu

I dnt knw d correct translation o bt its related 2 convulsion or let's say its d baby of convulsion nd it attacks mostly wen d weather is cold which is why its called dt.' cold ground'.why did u ask?

[quote author=bossladymo1 post=35265154]


Yay!!!! A problem shared is a problem half-solved. That's why I love forums like this. Just continue blocking water from entering his ears even after you finish the antibiotics....say for abt a week after


Okay,was abt 2 ask dt,d drug finishes 2nit.May God take care of ur children too

RashMe:
Pls mamas, what can i do to make my baby(a month old) sleep thru d night Been up since 12:45am and she is yet to sleep at 3:36am. She isnt crying and isnt showing any sign of discomfort. Am really getting tired of dis vigilante, dis is d 3rd time dis week.

Do u normally put ur light on at night?if u do stop it nd wen u wnt to feed him jst use torch nd dnt play wt him wen he wakes at night jst lie still wt time he will differentiate btw day nd night.its a phase dt will pass pele

bossladymo1:


Yea...morning sun gives Vit D. But you will have to expose his body and let him spend a long time in the sun, for him to get the adequate amount. That's why giving him Vit D in a medicinal form is much easier. Cod Liver Oil is very good. Combine that with the playing in the sun....then see the Ortho also.

Thanks ma,its a relief talkin to a fellow mother,my baby's ears ar also healin though we are yet to complete d prescribed dosage.checkd d drug nd saw it is zinnat.he doesn't feel pain anymore.am grateful

[quote author=MGeey post=35221899]Good evening mamas. Please apart from eating well to improve breastmilk, is there any drug I can take (maybe supplement or cod liver oil)?. I was given ferobin plus after I put to bed. I'm asking because sometimes I find it hard to eat cos of lack of appetite. Thanks.

I dnt knw of drugs o bt I took astyfer syrup nd since I had no appetite 4 food I took a lot of beverages,kunu,pap,oats anythin liquid

bossladymo1:


Was he given Vitamin D alongside the Calcium? Cos the main reason these bone malformations happen is because of lack of Vit D to help absorb the Calcium. That's why Cod Liver Oil is very good in toddlers.

But in this your case, I would adviae you go ahead with seeing the Ortho Doctor. Pls dont listen to anyone saying it will straighten on its own at this age. Get a professional to look at things cos it just might not turn out like yours did.

If you can starta fresh course of antibiotics, after doing a sensitivity test and blocking the ears while bathing, there is a chance that might just work.

No he wasn't given vit D,d pead only said I shld let him play in morning sun nd gv him milk.he takes complan nd peak 123.I jst recently started givin him cod liver oil.thanks

I don't know if someone has answered you or you have been able to see a specialist. is it possible that an object entered or was inserted in his ears n u didn't know? most times its tiny objects including stone. d antibiotics will only work for a while.unless the object is removed it will keep getting reinfected. your ent doctor can help you check.

I wish your boy quick recovery

Thanks ma,jst 1 person responded,I guessd so too bt is it possible 4 something 2 enter d 2 ears?am jst hopin it heals once nd 4 all ds tim.we ar stil on d medication nd its improving

How did you cope? Did you stop breastfeeding?






Amen o. Thanks.



lol..... No be small club o. It is well.



Amen o. Though I was a bit sad, I was still happy because age is no longer on my side. What made me particularly worried was some steps I am planning to take career-wise. But I believe God gives children hence He has His plans for me sempe, no wahala.

I ws told nt 2 gv breast milk while pregnant though I dnt knw d implication bt pls ask ur doc.if u use a gud milk sha.abt d career hunnnnnnnn,I had plans too as I gt married immediately after my youth service bt God proposes nd God disposes.d 2nd is 18 mnths nw nd startin skul in sept so I cn go ahead wit ma plans,dnt worry b4 u knw it d child will be born nd grow fast so u cn go ahead.its a sacrifice

[quote author=bossladymo1 post=35159545]

Even a new graduate doctor knows that a sensitivity test has to be done in cases like this, so as to get the right treatment. I remember the doctor gave me Zinnat. The first one didnt work cos I didnt store the antibiotic properly....I was given another, and it worked.

When you get to the hospital....tell them you want them to do an ear swab. What you sescribed is not as serious as seeing an eNT yet. Referral to a specialist is only done after the appropriate medications have been given.

Also, store the antibiotic you are given in a fridge, and give the adequate dosage.

Use cotton bud dipped in a little vaseline to block the ears when bathing.

Did you get the pneumococcal vaccine? My son had it at 2 weeks as I said, and all the info on the internet pointed towards him having recurring issues because his started so young. But that was the only time he had it....and I feel it might be because he got the full dose of the vaccine.

Thanks,He took all his vaccines to date,I think why we were referred 2 ENT is cos we've been given 3 diff types of drugs nd it keeps comin bac or cos d 2 ears are infectd,nd yes I store well nd giv d correct dosages.also there is improvement now since u suggestd I cover d ears while bathin him,he doesn't feel d pain lk he usd 2.am grateful 4 d help.pls I need ur advice on smthin o;my 1st child has k leg nd it bothers us a lot,he ws given calcium at 2 yrs 4 three mnths nd its stil there.wen we complained at d hosp last week we were askd 2 com on thursday 2 see d orthopedic surgeon bt pple keep tellin me it wil straighten wen he grows(as I also had it as a toddler nd it straightened)wt do u think?

Ear infection (Otitis Media). My baby had it at 2 weeks...it was a scary experience. It is due to their under-developed ear-nose-throat canal, and is the end result of a cold or nasal congestion.

I think I used antibiotics. The doctor prescribed it. A swab of the ear was done, and the most appropriate drug was given. Did they do an ear swab? Also, did you store the antibiotic properly and give him the right dose? Did you also prevent water from touching the ears so it can heal inside properly?

My sis may God bless u,no ear swap was'nt done cos we didn't see d specialist bt we ar asked 2 com bac next week.bt as d doc saw d discharge he gav him antibiotics nd ear drop.I jst wish it goes away 4 life ds time.I wil start coverin it wen I bathe him now.thanks again
