Ha ha ha !

i think she has just realised she has another appendage other than her hands. when my DD discovered her feet! we will find that the feet of her onsies were soaking wet from saliva! so we started wearing her socks as that was easier to change. i think she got bored after a while and stopped. sure it will be the same too for your baby. just remove her feet from her mouth when you see her do it. not sure there is much more you can do. it is unlikely to form into a habit like finger sucking.

Akorkor:
Yours just start? Mine have started since. It's a milestone they reach and they will outgrown it. Enjoy it

Hello mamas ,

it's been a while. apologies I didn't respond to my mentions. I saw them but was too tired to type

Fedora was ill but thankfully, she's doing great now. I've been away from work since Thursday to take care of her. I just resumed today.

Ok, I have other tips to share / talk about but I'm still tired...lol

rofemiguwa:
Doesn't really follow.my foodie dd was exclusively fed.i tink it depends on the child.
Hotmomma u gat to try n find out wat he likes.there must be one of the food he takes with little struggle compared to others u have to turn to jackie chan to feed him.

What i noticed is not every baby likes sweet food.till tomorrow my dd will never take banana or sweet potatoes. So i give bland fruits.u need to see her licking agbulomo like dis eh!.

Jus watch him.he might struggle but he will definitely take some better than others.
Also u have to be patient while feeding.one spoon allow to rest another.
U can also play songs he might like while feeding.
U can also try making his food little at a time.i dont feed my baby more than 120ml of food at a time but she eats up to 6 to 8 times per day.

She has short attention span.if u make her food bigger.u go chop the remaining. meanwhile she will disturb u in an hr or 2 again o.

Just find out wat works for him.all the best.

Chai. I'm not looking forward to this thing at all. He's been with my mum but she has to go back home month end. The crèche I picked is closer to home so I can't pop in. Right now I bf till I leave home at 6, then he takes formula at 8/9. Breastmilk around 12, formula at 3 then I get home about 5:30 to breastfeed till morning. So I'll prep only 1 breastmilk bottle for crèche everyday. The rest is formula

hunniesuzie:
Thanks. My baby is starting creche by 1st of June and this is similar to what I plan to do. He's not on exclusive but I try to give him 2 bottles of breastmilk during the day

Nemzy:
Hello experienced mamas, please help a ftm. I just realized that my DD hasn't been given Rotavirus vaccine at the health centre we use. She is 12weeks and 3days. I'm being told it's not free and only available at some hospitals. My questions are
1. Is it too late for her to get the shots?
2. If she can still take it, which hospitals around Yaba have it?
3. Please any idea of the price range so I'm prepared.
Thanks Mamas

Please dont ignore

olamitie:
thanks for the response.like 100-150ml each.cant really predict the exact quantity she eats but she finished 60mls the one time i tried to be sure she will suck from bottle.
will be picking her up by 3pm for now
What Kind of soap is used in washing babys bottle.me FTM sabi ask question

sugah:
Discussion Monday!!!
Topic: Effective family planning options.

So I had to take out my IUCD for the second time cos my body kept expelling it into my cervix.
My doc now recommends the arm implant which I'm against cos I heard it causes weight gain.
Condom? Bleh!!!
Mentioned ocp to my doc and he said it'll fail and I'd get pregnant.
Now I'm seriously considering Billings method

Any success stories on billings method?

dharyor1234:
I'm a new comer here

You can officially call me a mum, glory be to God

Please i do have some questions

1. is it normal for baby to have regular and frequent hiccups?
Frequent hiccups is normal with babies, there is really nothing you can do about it .

2. my baby's leg used to twitch or shake a times, i hope this is not an issue?

3. Also He has a lot of rashes on his face and it kinda reddish. we've been using agnesia powder but it is not clearing out, what can be done to clear it?
It will clear out with time.

4. what can I do to get back my pre-pregnancy stomach after 3wks of C-section, cos i'm scared it might not go back to normal.
It took 9 months for your tummy to go through pregnancy and all, so pls take it easy on yourself. You can start some simple exercises after your 6 weeks check, to be sure your incision has healed externally. Snap-back after CS isn't always as easy as VD, so take it easy on yourself.

N.B I use Johnsons soap on him
I dont use any cream on him cos i'm scared it might turn him to blackky especially sheabutter

His body is very smooth except for the face

sugah:
Usually: under normal conditions, generally.

Maybe you meant sometimes?
And in case you haven't noticed, this is a newborn thread......

Are you a medical practitioner? What hospital do you work with?

lemme know which hospital to start avoiding

lastbornop:
thanks! what are the side effect of this IUD, does it make you fatter? pimples, menstrual cramps et all?

Twogreatnations:
I have always used the one in the second pix since birth and it's been good.

Giddyperson:
Please can I use the sponge in the first and second picture to bath a 3 week old. I'm currently using the one in the last pic but it's useless.

SisiNini:
@enque, go and get my baby set for creche... She must not get there late...

hunniesuzie:
See let me advise you. If you're going to invest in an electric pump, close your eye (squeeze it very tight oh) and buy Medela. I bought a Lansinoh from jumia for 30k plus and the thing packed up in less than a month, I'm still dragging for my money. I respected myself and went to get the Medela that they had advised me to buy before aroro hooked me. Otherwise just be doing your manual pumping jeje (Avent has a good manual pump). Let other mamas chook mouth sha, maybe they've had a better experience with other electric brands

For formula I was told to buy Nan from the hospital and we've been taking it with no issues for the past 3 months.

eriifemi:
good evening house... aw r we doing. the rate at which am urinating is getting out of hand.. i dnt sleep at night... before i get to the toilet i would have urinated on ma body. we r 38weeks 5days.... abeg na only me waka come?

feddy27:
Yes, after it has settled, I tie in a bag strongly to drain out all the water then sun dry

zaynie:
Made it only twice in my life.
1. For my bsc project.
2. Once for Moyo. Told my self I don't have this strength for this and just paid for it. It was waaaaay better than mine

feddy27:
Not soo difficult

1. Wash grains and soak for 2-3days
2. Send to the grinder and blend
3. Add more water and sieve
4. Allow the fine particles to settle by day break
5. Your pap is ready for use

for me, I go an extra step by sun drying and then I blend it to fine powder and store.

Voila !
