It is called efinrin in Yoruba, when u get to this Igbo market women that sell ugwu, water leaf and co, just tell them u want to buy scent leaf.

You can even make it inform of soup and add orisirisi inside, eat with whatever you are pleased with.

I blend my own with enough locust beans.

tanx so much I no efinrin very well my neighbor has it in her garden, in wot ways can I take ( squeezing out d juice, boiling or making it as soup d way u explained)

Momma Hansel,

How's Hansel and his dad? I think she is saying that so as to prevent Hansel from having jedi-jed/ slimy stool. My MIL said i can take whatever as long as I take boiled scent leaf( that is my agbo) to cleanse my system.

I eat all desirables so to avoid stories that would stress me, I succumbed.

I got scent leaves in bulk, boiled ,stored in 1 litre Eva bottles in my freezer and I restock once I notice it remains 2 bottles and true, my boy hasn't had one in his stool .

HTH

If the wound is still not fully healed(dry),then you can still use cotton wool and gv to clean.
However,depending on the thread used to stitch you,you will need to have it removed.
You can go to a good private hospital around you to have that done.

Cc: eolowu1

tanx so much mothers for all ur responses to my complaints

You know, you kind of sound frantic a lot. Do you have anyone with baby experience staying with you? Sometimes it helps just to have that reassurance. Take a deep breath, you're doing good! Don't panic, okay?

I think you're doing too much to baby. Eczema does happen and Newborn tend to throw a rash no matter what sometimes. Let his skin breathe, just wipe him down with water for now, he's not playing football so he's not dirty. Get a bar of Dove classic soap (you said you were in Ilorin so Dove Sensitive may be hard to find), rub a tiny bit on a washcloth and use it to wipe baby down every 2 days and then follow up by wiping him down with clean water after. Avoid letting the soap touch his eyes. Then dry him off.

Stop all the powder, it's not really good for his lungs and get some Ori (shea butter) or Goya Olive oil and use that as his cream.

Sometimes if you do too much, you end up aggravating the skin and cause dryness. It may look like eczema. So why not try this and then in 4 days' (yes be patient because Newborn have rashes for like 3 weeks easily), let us know if it is calming down. Cool?

tanx so much dear Hmmmm my mum is still with me taking care of me and d baby, as u av said I will kip my cool and go down with only water to wash his face and shear butter as cream but I will try my best to get d dove soap. wot of rising powder can I apply cos I've heard so much abt d powder on dis thread
