I read some comments on instagram.. that sleeping on your back isn't advisable for pregnant women. that it can cause their baby to have crossed eye. is it true? I hope it's a lie..

Lol @ crossed eye, i didnt have a particular sleeping position while i was preggy. I slept all on all sides but my body would tell if a certain position was not comfy, so i would just change.

Tunis24:

Oh my so sorry for your loss Phlakkeys. Words fail me ooo, i just know you are coming back here soonest to share your testimony. You are in our prayers sis.

Benignasweety:
My son can't sleep on any other position aside his tummy since he clocked 5weeks, so I make sure the blanket is thickly folded in his bed so he wouldn't drag it to cover his nose as that is the sole cause of the SIDS.
Besides if he can turn his head well so he can quickly adjust if he isn't getting enough air, he is gud to sleep on his tummy.

Ok, u raised a good point tho. Thanks

Testimony Time
So after mamas chuk mouth on my ds navel issue, d remaining cord finally fell off and it is closing up now. Thank you all for the contributions and a special thanks to ma'm crystalzoe for that salt treatment tip.
Also, he is no longer throwing up after every feed and even when he spits out its just in little quantity which happens like once/twice a day.
Thanks mamas for coming through

comtem2011:
New born baby can hardly move their heads, in the process of turning the head, the baby might put his nose on the pillow or mattress and this can cause suffocation leading to Sudden death. God forbid.

Oho this actually makes sense now, i notice my ds moves his head sometimes and when he puts his nose on the pillow, he struggles to get it out but still ends up turning totally. Better to just use a safe sleeping position jare. Thank you

enque:
it increases the risk of SIDS - sudden infant death syndrome
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the unexplained death, usually during sleep, of a seemingly healthy baby less than a year old.

Holy Moly. Didnt know of this until now and i just had to go read up on it. Twas a nurse that told me to place him on his tummy so he could sleep for long and i dont even know if it works cuz he still wakes up like after every 3 hours. Stopping this tummy sleeping right away, better to be safe than sorry. Wheeew

enque:
massage her tummy wt warm water
lay her on her tummy.........do not leave her unsupervised pls

Hello ma'm pls why does she have to supervise her baby while she is laid on her tummy. My baby has been sleeping on his tummy since he was a week old or thereabout. Pls shed more light on this

JGracious:
Hello Eksbabe,
let me add mouth for the burping matter; what makes my DS to throw up while burping on my shoulder is when his tummy presses hard on my body. I think the there's a technique to the way they are placed on the shoulder.
These days, I don't even bother with burping. he does it by himself. He's 4months now.

Ok ma'm thanks for adding mouth also, will look out for that

Benignasweety:
I place him on my laps like he is sitting and then use my right hand to support his chest while the left hand I rob his back with it till he belch.

Ok, thanks for the tip

Sansa143:
For me,wat works 4 me is after feeding,i just lift him n sit him on my laps n bend him abit.!Den eida tap or rub his back!Sumtimes he does it on his own witout help 4rm me!I don't do d shoulder own cos I notice he throws up!

Ok, thats another style will try this and see if there is a difference. The throwing up thing has reduced tho. Tanchu

Benignasweety:
You place him on your shoulder after each feed? my sister that's why the throw up is regular. you don't burp a baby on your shoulder. My son usually throws up if he gets fussy during feeding and I place him on my shoulders. Now if I carry him on the shoulder and he belch, I will quickly carry him well else he will throw up.

Hello Benny, how do you then burp Zizi? Happy Sunday to you

Benignasweety:
All is well ma, just be calm okay.

Thank you dear, i'm calm now

hunniesuzie:
If he's throwing up that much then the hospital is your best bet. He'll be fine

Thank you, DH said to observe him for tonight and if it persists we will be at the hospital tomorrow.I tried the tip ma'm Liftedhands gave me and he hasnt thrown up,i pray he doesnt.

Liftedhands:
Feed him small and stop! Burp and continue feeding then burp again. The air build up may be too much for him to handle. Hopefully it will stop soon sorry sis .

Ok, thanks ma

Liftedhands:
try burping between feeds don't wait till he finishes eating. Also keep him upright for a while whenever he eats. It's reflux and very common in kids

How do i burp him while feeding, cuz i place him on my shoulder to burp.

Benignasweety:
The quantity of the throw up is it much?

if it isn't, burb him after feed and don't carry him up nor lay him down quickly, so long as he is gaining weight (in your eyes) nothing to worry.

Since he started throwing up i just feel like he hasnt been gaining weight,dont know if i'm being paranoid.
We are going to the hospital,he just threw up all he had after burping. I'm just so sad right now and hope all is well with him

myrygurl:
I think u should try burping him after feeding...that is sit him on ur lap in angle 90 and tilt his head forward slightly with one hand on his chest and the other hand rubbing or tapping his back gently until he belch...try to google how to burp a baby and get a better explanation..

Other maamas will provide more solutions

I do that regularly, but he still throws up like after every feeding

Hello mamas,
My 3weeks old son has been throwing up (not forceful) for about 2 days now and i fear he hasnt been keeping anything down. Please is this normal or do i run to the hospital?

comtem2011:
Thank God its working for you.

So many things to learn on this thread!!

Thank you this thread and the pregnancy thread has been really helpful. Thankful to everyone that makes it so.

crystalzoe:
Yes
It shld be completely closed up by this evening. Mine took just two applications and d left over cord shrivelled up and fell off.
Hope lo didnt cry or show any discomfort when u applied it? Cos its not supposed to sting

No he didnt cry, thanks a lot. Will give u feedback

Hello beautiful mamas, thanks to you all for the response to my worries yesterday. @crystalzoe, i tried the salt treatment and the site has gotten darker like a healing wound, shey thats how it will be till the navel closes up?

crystalzoe:
Google granuloma and salt you'll see a lot of reviews about it

Ok i will

crystalzoe:
Lol@serious disease
It's nothing serious just that the cord didn't fall of completely
Its not really known y it happens to some babies but its quite common
Another option is silver nitrate but it has to be applied by a doc.
I was more sceptical than u oh but very desperate lo was getting to two months and was on my third bottle of spirit. I just prayed n boughta fresh sachet of salt applied that morning briefly then wiped it off it didnt even sting as I tot repeated it in d evening by night it had dried up and by d following morning d navel had closed up completely.
Google

Thanks alot for this, so it's the cord that didnt fall off completely and i thought it was a growth. Wheeeew, thank God i asked oo. Will try the salt remedy.

Giddyperson:
In addition to cleaning with spirit try not to put the diaper over it

Ok, thanks
