3 months and u dae complain ? Mine don near to complete a year now still no full control of the neck , always twisting her hands in an abnormal manner. I pray is not what is disturbing mine that you are facing ooo

Wow! Almost a year. I can imagine how u must be feeling. Has she achoieved other milestones ie sitting, crawling, standing, etc?

My mamas una well work o! Pls my DS will be 3 months on saturday but he still dosent have full neck control. Is dere anyting I can do to aid him achieve full control or I just av to wait it out till he masters it on his own?

Pls my mamas, how true is this? I use sudocrem mixed with shea butter(ori) to rub on my son's bombom before putting diaper on. My friend's mother told me that its not good to use d sheabutter to rub on male children from d lower abdomen down to their manhood area, that it would make their manhood to be soft as in that it won't be erect. Pls is this true?

Abeg sabi mamas make una answer me na. Doc Tchiwinee, Lovinam, Kimoni, BossLadyMo, etc make una come back from una holiday o!

tchiwinnie:
as much/often as he can tk.

Thanks my doc

Pls my mamas I started my 2months+ on cow & gate first infant formula yesterday & so far so good he has tolerated it well. I want to ask how frequently am supposed to give him water and also what quantity?

lovinam:
She is a local midwife *tchwinnie abeg o! I are sorri* ROTFL

Lovinam if tchiwinnie catch u eh. Lol!

tchiwinnie:
Kimoni is very correct. Check d pack of golden closely, u ll see whr its written 'golden morn is not an infant cereal' and u kno most infant cereals are usu 6months-3yrs. So dont gv him golden morn yet.

@ fexcathy, yes.

Ehen, I tot as much. Well done Ma & God bless u for all ur contributions to this thread. Hailings to oder sabi mamas kimoni, lovinam, bosslady, etc. Una well done!

@ Tchiwinnie, are you a doctor? Pardon my asking buh d way u respond to our problems kinda indicates that u are doh I myt be wrong.

tchiwinnie:
Let it nt break ur heart, as it ll pass as he develops. It has nothing to do wt suctioning @ birth. As long as he doesnt hv active catarrh or cough u really dont hv to gv any drugs. He ll stop it as his respiratory system develops better.

Tank u so much Tchiwinnie. Am relieved now cos av been so worried. This thread rily gives one hope esp we FTMs. Kudos to evry mama. God bless.

Pls mamas, I wud like to ask a question. My son has this grunting noise dat accompanies his breathing esp @ nyt. The noise sounds like as if mucus is blocking his chest. @ 1st I tot it was cattarh and av used a lot of tings but its dere. A nurse told me that its becos dey didn't suck d mucus out after I delivered him & that with time he wud outgrow it. Pls is dis true cos it breaks my heart to hear d grunting noise & its more audible @ nyt.

tchiwinnie:
Some babies actually start teething as early as 2-3 months. @Fexcathy, u dont really hv to gv any drugs, just pcm if he has fever. Get d toy as suggested bt pls sterilize it properly

Thank u Tchiwinnie. Will do as suggested.

Kimoni:
Lol...it's not impossible that he is teething but it is very rare. I suspect he's not really teething except if he is drooling and fussy as well.

However, you can buy him colorful teething toys too, he will grow into them.

Kimoni, yes he drools. I was also shocked to discover it as its quite early for a 2 month old. Tank u mama.

Pls any mama using cow & gate first infant formula, how good is it?

Kimoni:
Pls I may ask, how do you know his gums are scratching him @ 2 months?

He uses his tongue to scratch it which makes a kind of noise

Pls mamas my 2 month old son has his gums scratchinh him already. Am I supposed to giv him anytin in advance for teething & how can help relieve d scratchy gums

desiree:
Will your LO be going to a creche? Just make sure you express a lot at night and store( refrigerate)properly otherwise your supply will be affected. I'm going to be doing the same thing.

Thanks desiree. Would be dropping my LO wit my bro-inlaw`s wife who stays down my street. I have started expressing but am not getting enough supply or is it because am using hands as I heard that wit pump am likely to get more supply esp if I use electric pump and am going to be working from 9am til 4pm so I rily need to av enof breastmilk down for LO

My sabi mamas una well done. My LO is 2 months old & is EBF. I would be resuming work in a month`s time & would like to continue d EBF. Pls I need advice on what and what I need to do from now so as to prepare myself well so that when I resume it won't be so difficult. Abeg make una nor vex for my long story na FTM tings.

lovinam:
Why are you worried? His weight is ok

Ok. Tank u lovinam.

FexCathy:
Pls mamas I tuk my son for his 6wks immunization today and on checking his weight, it was 4.2kg while he weighed 3kg @ birth. Pls is dis weight ok? He is EBF.

Abeg mamas make una ans me na

Pls mamas I tuk my son for his 6wks immunization today and on checking his weight, it was 4.2kg while he weighed 3kg @ birth. Pls is dis weight ok? He is EBF.

Well done mamas. My 5 wks old son hasn't pooed on his own since last 2 wks. Av had to do d cotton bud style for him to poo. D ting is I don't want to continue doing it so dat he dosent get so used to it. I had to do it dose 3 times wen I saw his stomach big and strong and how inconviniencing it was for him. Pls is it normal dat he goes on several days witout pooing? He is on EBF.

desiree:
Mothers in the house is there any home remedy for oral thrush?? My 7 weeks old son has this white coating on his tongue his pedi recommended a gel that is not working. Please what else can I use??

If its oral thrush, d white patches will be all over inside d mouth and not just on d tongue. It wud be in d upeer and lower gums and also inside d cheek and no matter how u clean it won't go away unlike milk residue dat goes away wit cleaning. U can use nystatin oral suspension if its thrush. My son had thrush wen he was 2wks and dats wat d paed prescribed and it cleared it.

FINA4804:
. Similac 8000, Enfamil 6500, Aptamil 4500

Thank u

FINA4804:
. They are All good it just depends on the one your baby likes and you can afford. But similac has more protein than Enfamil and aptamil. My baby accepted all at different times

Pls what's d price of each?

And pls one more question evrn though it myt be silly. What exactly is burping a baby? Putting him on ur shoulder after each feed and pattign d back til he belches? And what if he dosent belch?

My mamas, which is d best among dese 3 formulas aptamil, enfamil & similac?

bossladyMo:
It's called cradle cap, and it's quite common in babies.

Here is the solution...tested and trusted.

1. Generously apply baby oil/olive oil over the affected areas.

2. Wait for about 15-20mins.

3 . Take a fine-toothed comb, e.g picking comb, and gently use it to edge of the scales off the scrap. The oil would have softened it enough.

4. After doing that, wash immediately with shampoo, and use a wide-toothed comb to comb off any scales stuck in the hair itself.

Do this 2x a week till you notice it stopping.

The greatest mistake you can do is applying oil, and leaving it in the hair, as it will only harden the scales and worsen matters.

Also, do not use your nails to pick at it, as you will only injure his scalp.

Come back and testify lol.

Thank u so much

mummy2be:
