I use haeirs (very good)bt gint is beta

mydreams25:
Yes. i use GINT and its very very good. The big one is #5000.

It actually got to a stage I had to ask masef that: can som1 lov ma child more than I do?? Its because of d way all ds mamas treated me wen I had ma baby o. I ddnt lactate until afta 3days and because of dt they started calling me names; odaju, some say I hav a male breast. I was emotionally down..... Now dt my baby is nt adding weight, chai! I go hear am o...
Nurses @ d general hosp too ar nt helping matas, na so dem go dey praise d mama of a big baby like say u wey ur pikn small offend God.

enioladimeji:
Correct my sis. One has to be firm o. My mum knows me, my NO is NO. She even said i behave as if she wasn't the one that brought us up. As for MIL. I play along. No wahala. I go tell am say i don hear but i do what i feel is right for my baby cos i gave birth to him. Even if a doc prescribe drugs for him, i still google and find out if i can use it for him to avoid stories that touch.
Pple will so tell u some things as if they love and care for ur child more than u do.

.....bt the mothers around me who use agbo for their babies keep using it on and on.like some1 I know who stl uses agbo eela for her 1yr old baby & she has been using it frm day 1 she had d baby. Wen d baby poop they say he's pooing d eela, u c eela on his body and they say d agbo is driving d ones inside to d outside....I can't imagine d continious use of d agbo for my baby jare, so I dropped d one my mother inlaw brought for me on one side*though my baby has eela dt coms on and off*

mubzay:
Mamas, hope u and ur los are doing great? May God in His infinite mercies bless us all.
On d issue of herb taking (agbo), it does work if u get d original ones and use in moderation for babies I.e one or two drops in dia mouth esp for eela n alefo n ezcema. I did use for my son when he had alefo nd it worked. I didn't use orthodox drugs with d herbs. Used only herbs. But opinions differ, u can choose not to use it. In some cases drugs just offer temp relieve for them n u wait the rest out.
Av a frnd whose baby had oka ori (greenish veins on d head), it prevents d baby from eating well n growing. All drugs just relieved temp until she used d herbs for it.
I think its a personal decision. It saddens me when we castigate mothers who do. Everything is in moderation. #mythots
Av a blessed day you all.

I av d same issue here wt my LO o, d scar is on his chest and back. Same thing u complain about. Meanwhile, av stopped wearing cloth for him and all windows ar always closed for now(full time mum). I'm actually looking forward to when DH would b chanced to hep me get sebamed @ L/I, that's ma hope for now.....pls any mama's suggestion on ao to manage alefo n scar wld b appreciated o. Thank u

joyousf:
please does this black soap help with eczema n all these fungal infections. the last time I took my baby to see the paed she said the spots on his body was a fungal infection n gave me a clotrimazole cream. I actually believed it was the scars left by the alefo he had cos it was really much all over his chests when he was younger n someone told me it will take a while for the scars to go.

unfortunately his skin reacted to the clotrimazole cream so I rather apply abf cream which he tolerates better n also contains same percent of clotrimazole.

sincerely I don't know if the spots are getting better or not. on some days I think they are on others I don't think so.

I've been rubbing the cream now for almost three weeks. if its really fungal infection the thing should be obviously lesser. the more I think they are aleefo scars.

pls mamas that their babies had aleefo: how long does it averagely take for the scars to disappear n d skin color tone out?


I am seriously considering looking for another paed this is the second time her prescription didn't really help n the first time it even made things worse.Na for this thread I got suggestions that helped. maybe it doesn't mean she isn't competent sha. I just don't really look forward to our appointments n many times I go much later cos of my previous experience.

sorry for my long story...pls answer my question. thanks

Pls ao do we mash d foods after cooking. Is it wt mortar n pestle or blender? Is it compulsory to peel d beans b4 cooking for a 7months old baby....FTM

Chyvy:
My dear, it is too early to start giving golden morn (not for children below 3 yrs). Have u tried adult foods? Rice, plantain, sweet potatoes, fufu, amala, egg yolk, liver, beef, fish, chicken, boil them very soft and mash. Start with little quantity. And is ur baby slim or thin? Also, continue wit the pap and yes, u can give a good quality cod liver oil.

I think I gat som contributions on dt tinu iwo stuff.....wen I had ma baby it was ds same colics stuff, so I googled "causes of colics". Where I read on "baby centre" that it could b due to a baby's rxn to some food d mama is taking; evaporated milk(tin) is one of d causes. So I stopped taking tin milk nd I switched to powdered milk.....that was ao ma baby sed bye bye to colics o. I wil advice dt u watch wot u eat

sheweezy:
According to grandmas they say it is inuwo in yoruba meaning colic in English. When I took him to the hospital, the doctor said he will outgrow it and we should not administer any drug. So i v left him. I also notice it is reducing sha. My Lo poos alot o, dont even know if it is after every feed but I observed it's quite a lot and was told it's normal. The quantity of the poo is always small, except maybe once or twice a day that it is much.
I dont think we should worry much about these things.

Pls av searched all d big stores here, ds sebamed is scarce o. Arabic is written on ds 1 bt it is MADE in GERMANY

enioladimeji:
Yea, Sebamed works for my baby . He's been using it since he was 2 months old or thereabout. Since then, there has been nothing like rash, alefo, or what have u. Even pple envy my son oo. They said he has a fine skin from birth. No skin problem. dem no know the secret. Though he no easy to cough out the 5k wey i take buy am(big and economy size). After 6months, it's as if ive not touched it. e still plenty for inside. To tell u how economical it is. Anyways, they deserve the best sha. Mind u, there is one from germany and one fron Dubai. Arabic is written on the one from Dubai. Don't buy that one. Buy the one from Germany and from a good and trusted store.
He's been using nycil powder from birth too.

No b ma fault o, I just dt I can't wait for him to av a smooth skin like he used to av b4. Thank u.......lol.

tchiwinnie:
Mama, my advice s dat u let him b. Yes, dont rub anything at all. U change cream every 3-4days if theres no change? . Mbanu. Since u ve rubbed all dese battalion of products, just leave his skin for d tym being. Also dont over cover him. Wear light clothings

Thank u for ur response, pls wot kind of powder? Any1?

Mzora:
@forlahke I would say u go natural for now. you can use original ori or coconut oil.Then apply powder on the folds around the neck,legs and hand very well to prevent eella.

Thank u. Pls I'm stl waiting for a suggestion on d body cream to use for my baby o, d 1 dt wl nt cause heat rashes sha.

Taba dupe ore ana, aari omi gba....a BIG thank u to d wonderful mamas on ds forum, u'v been awesome! My mother-inlaw is even surprised dt I don't call nd ask for directions again.....she no kno say I don join a BIGGER family here Una tooo much*clapping...

Hen en, I don com again*first time mom*
Pls I need a suggestion of a good body cream and soap for my 7months old baby boy; pls its shd b based on EXPERIENCE. Av tried oilatum, johnson, ori, skineal, funbact A, antago cream. Although(kima paro) I fit use a cream for 3/4 days and if no changes I go switch to another cream. Prensently my LO has alefo(impetigo) and rashes on his body. Eela is even on his neck(wonder what causes ds), infact him body no smooth @al. If he has a smooth body ds week d following week, alefo or rashe go com, although I discover dt anytime he wear cloth to slp dts wen d alefo/rashe com bt wen I leave him to sleep wt only diaper, he wld av cof n cattarh. There was a time I used only powder bt his skin was jus peeling off, not smooth @al. Av tried johnson, agnesia, pricky heat bt presently I'm using rising baby powder. As for d soap I use cusson because I feel that's d only soap I know for babies. Sometimes, my baby used to lick soap wen baffin or it entas his eyes*first time mom*
...I started robbing sudocreme n his body ds morning cos I felt dt since sudocreme has been effective for diaper rash so I tot it shd work for all rashes*confused*.

Yeah, u'r right. Anoda cause of down syndrome is PROLONGED labour.

captcochrane:
Incidence of down syndrome increases with the mother's age, 35years and above, the chance of giving birth to down increases

However, there is one variant that usually occur with young mothers, though it's just about 5%

So to prevent giving birth to a down child, have all your babies before 35years: this is not absolute


For autism, I guess most times, it is inherited from the father or mother
Though, the parent might not manifest it like that (it's actually a spectrum)

one has to take his/her partner for psychiatric evaluation including the family history to avoid risk of having autistic child

angieberry:
Nope, those as superstitions.
Downs syndrome is a chromosomonal disorder, and autism is a mental condition. So, whatever your mom or grandmum told you is nothing but old wives tale.

Hmmm....*nod my head*....bt wetin dey cause ds things and ao can it b prevented?

misssclassy:
[color=#000050]Op, Autism is not the same as down's syndrome. Their is a difference between the two.

Downs syndrome is a combination of physical abnormalities and mental retardation cause by a defect in a chromosome pair.
While Autism is a life long developmental disorder that affects a person ability to learn, how the person relates ad communicates with others, and how they generally perceive the world around them.

You can spot a child or person with downs syndrome by just looking at their physical appearance, but you would only know a notice a child with autism by studying their behavior.[/color]

Thank u jare*thumb up*, pls ao do we prevent both or mange both?

Cutehector:
God knows best...

Yes God knows best bt there shd be some precautions or management for children with autism. Pls is there any1 that has a neighbour wt ds defect? Ao do u cope? Wots ur view....

I remember dt wen I was pregnant, mum would caution me not to walk in sun or @ late night w.out having safety PIN attached to my cloth.....my granma even suggested that I tie stone to my cloth so I won't giv birth to autistic children. Some pple would say a pregnant woman shd not sit wit her leg spread apart because the baby wld resemble anybody that crosses over the pregnant woman's leg....pls could it be true dt those that gave birth to children with down syndrome violated any of this rules?? *wondering*

Gd day mamas in the house. Pls I need una advice urgently.... My LO clocked 7months yersterday and he's been on frisogold wheat(only) since 6months. I started pap with him ds morning bt I added peak milk(powder) and sugar; I'm confused cos I don't know if ds is right. SMA milk used to purge him so I'm afraid I don't wana buy another infant milk. Meanwhile, I used to feed him 2/3 times with frisogold wheat(4 scoops, d spoon size is like d one inside sma milk). I actually wana switch to pap cos my baby stopped adding weight few days ago, although he's been very active......so, my question now is:
1. How many scoops of the frisogold is right for a 7months old baby( d tin says 4)
2.How many times(minimum nd maximum) am I suppose to feed him the frisogold to avoid overfeeding or inadequate feeding.
3. Is d peak powder milk and sugar ok for my 7months old baby or any other good suggestion of milk
....I giv him som of wot I eat too, like yesterday he ate little amala nd ewedu wt titus fish*5 pinch*
*pls help a first time mom*

[quote author=Cutehector post=34549839]Naggin is all bout one's attitude... U see people puttin on their cv's they hav d ability to work unda pressure.. But its all lies..

Yeah....attitude u say, it may even be the house wahala that some women carry in mind to work

I am writing ds according to wot I gathered frm my research, I would love to streamline ds to YORUBA; not that I'm tribalistic bt because I av only carried out my research among d yorubas wch I'm one of them.....this is no assumption @al, its a FACT.

1. Upbringing: if u ask a lot of women out there how there growing up was like....ground go full. Plenty grew up seeing their father physically abuse(beat) their mother. A lot of married women out there ar suffering and smiling. Some children grew up wt only their mother catering for them, d fada?? Iresponsible!plenty polygamous home na FUJI HOUSE OF COMMOTION. Majority of our female children already have d mindset that MEN ARE USELESS; they tel u sweet words to get down there and they leave u to take care of ur children.
2. ENVIRONMENT: ds stl goes down to upbringing. Its wot a child sees and he feeds his tot and mind with. Children dt grows up where there's no word like pamper won't understand wot respect is. They MISUNDERSTAND respect for COMMAND. The men would believe that u av to command ur wife and children to respect u.
3. SELF WORTH/VALUE: when u don't bring up ur female children in a way they should appreciate themselves that when they grow up nagging....y? They want to convince pple that they'r beautiful. They flare up @ every little thing cos they already av an inner battle they're fighting. When u av dark girls and wish they'r yellow (u even buying toning cream for them) or u call them ugly names anytime they offend u, then u tamper with their worth. They won't b confident in d society. Yes, they may b brilliant bt nt independent speakers(lack of confidence), they always want reassurance that they can do it because they av lost d confidence of "I can do it" which should av been put by d parents in d first place. A woman who doesn't know her worth wl eventually want to force herself on a man
........A woman who grew up wt any of ds things eventually nag in marriage. A woman who ddnt grow up wt love won't av a better understanding of how to express love in marriage( nt love making ooo). She won't correct her children or husband with love. She may not even know dt wot she's doing is called 'nagging' because that's a life style she grew up wt...e.g she may wana express her mind my saying" olori buruku kuku leyin okunrin tele" meanwhile she was trying to refer to her experience bt she has nagged.
Moreover, whenever her husband scolds her, she end up nagging...y? because she doesn't believe in hersef b4. Her parents and siblings won't tell her sweet words like "waoh...c my baby girl looking good in that dress. And nt common go and put off dt jeans showing ur k-leg, u no even kno wetin u resemble,huh
The only confidence such a child may get would b frm her husband and if d hubby scolds her then she feels bad nd nag.
Managing house chores too can be stressful @times. Na u go cook, sweep d house, do d laudry, prepare d children for school, hubby sef go dey call for attention........ds too can make some women nag.
......Pls feel free to add ur own

Good day to d sabi mamas in d aos ooo, pls I need una help, my 6-months old baby has been having green poo now for 3days. I feed him on frisogold wheat nd stl breast feed too.

allycat:
At least write a petition to the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria, luckily you know the names of the doctors involved. Get their address of the Internet. Even if nothing is done today it will be in their files. One day something will happen and that your petition will become the game changer. I advice people to complain even if I am involvedelighted. Nowadays the medical council is taking petitions seriously!

Yeah....u'r right bt wot is my evidence?? Just d story? No video or voice record? They can deny it u know.

elobyobi:
Sorry for ur loss bro, but why r u "changing mouth"? Did u take her away because of the money, or because u felt a gynaecologist that was able to diagnose intestinal obstruction wouldn't be able to treat her? [hint: there is no correct answer to the question]. Also I don't know how far Gbagada is from Maryland, but I know that doctors can be very untrusting people when it comes to diagnostic centres. There are so many quack labs and diagnostic centres these days that usually doctors just stick to the one they've tested and trust. And even though some centres appreciate doctors that refer patients to them (a few hundred to a thousand bucks per referral; how much be Xray sef, wey dem wan give the doc huge percentage?), the doctor would definitely never put 1k above the life of his patient.
Word of advice: until Buhari decides to privatise the health sector, don't patronise general hospitals for life-threatening emergencies. And I speak for myself and a lot of NLERS when I say that N150000 is NEVER going to be the reason why I take my dying mother, whom I can NEVER replace, away from a place where they are willing and able to treat her. I'm pretty sure that you WILL end up spending more than that amount on other things that could have been avoided. If professional help was why u went to the General Hospital (laughable, cuz it's a "GENERAL" hospital, u see, with mostly general practitioners), you could at least have met the main doc in charge of ur mum and asked him about his private hospital where he can expedite the treatment (he has one, don't worry). Either way, money gets things done, or done right.
Once again I'm sorry for ur loss. Take heart.
#i_love_you_mom

Waoh.....I can c that u read my post thoroughly.....anyways, thank u for ur comments. In my first post I wrote BETTER nd CHEAPER service(u c dt I know wot I'm saying)... We had more reasons to move mum to lag; we felt dt mum shd b in d care of ma sis dts based in lag since we(other children) are a bit far frm home, moreover, only dad can't handle d situation ........(Wanna antagonise that too??). Every Doctor performs better in his area of specialisation.for example, We all know dt mid-wives wl take delivery perfectly bt INCASE theirs complication dts y d gyneacologist is on stand-by(does dt ans ur que??) I ddnt put up ds post to gain sympathy nor for condolence msgs bt to reach out to Nigerians who would learn 1 or 2 tins. Mind u, d fact that a Doc. Can interprete a scan/ an x-ray result(basis of d diagnosis) doesn't mean he can work well on d ailment....Moreover, y shd d ans to Doc. attitude to work b privatisation? If a Doc would divert patients to his hosp, then y is d salary he's getting frm d govt? Is dt justified? Are u saying d essence of creating general hosp is nt worth it U may say #100 no b money, bt wen multiplied in folds(bt wait o...ao u tey know say na #100 sef?). If Doc wana patronise their frens based on trust(as u claim), they could av adviced them to com open branch @ nearby abi if their so-called fren fold up now they(Doc) won't patronise other diagnostics centre since they do not trust them .

......anyway, I just read through ur profile and saw dt u'r a dokita(MO).....NO WONDER! Av gone tru some of ur posts and saw dt u'r eager to leave Naija, u better go listen to d song titled I LOVE NAIJA by korede Bello mayb dt wl change ur mind....eje ka sowo po gbe naija laruge ooo

hybridtm:
Touching story....but y didn,t u try a Teaching hospital(LUTH, or LASUTH)..i kn say dis one no fit happen for UBTH...were i dey..cos u must present d patient for mortality review and senior consultant go kill

Teaching hospital wl b far more expensive o, besides, we thought its what general hospital can handle.......plenty experience I had while staying with my mom @ the hospital. I always avoid going to hospitals cos it brings back sad memories....

HungerBAD:
My deepest condolence on the loss of your mother. May God continue to give you guys the fortitude to bear the loss, I will not dignify the hospital or the doctors involved in her treatment by blaming them.

Mothers are special, mothers are golden, mothers are our back bone, all mothers deserve to live until they get to a very old age before they die, mothers are our strength, mothers are a special breed. This might sound very mean, but as a man I would prefer the fathers to go first before all mothers.

Your mother is special and she is in a special place.

The touching part of your story was when you said, you moved her to Lagos over 150 Thousand Naira. Nairaland is not about YABS and INFO only, I am assuming it is a forum where we can come together to help each other when help is absolutely needed. There is no shame when it comes to seeking financial help, to help a loved one in a tough medical condition.

You could have at least tried to put it out here, some would have called you a scam, some would have called you names, some would have verified your stories and some like us would have been able in our little ways to help.

Please Nairalanders let us come together to help those who lack the finances, when it involves them or their family in dire need as regards medical reasons, and not just pour out condolences when they are dead

Your mother could have been my mother, a couple of years ago when we use to patronize quack doctors knowing we could not afford anything good. No matter what I say, your mom will not come back.

I don't know why your message hit me like this, but no mother or anybody at that needs to die from lack of good medical care.

But please accept my heartfelt condolence.

God will make your family smile again.

I have never done this before, but please can the MODS move this to the front-page please, if we were unable to help her with the finances. Then let there be an outpouring of Condolences by the Nairaland Family. MODS do the Needful, thank you.

Thank u and God'l bless u. We actually brought mum to gbagada cos we thought we wld get better medical service, more professional hands. We have taken her to abt 3different private hospitals before we brought her to lagos. Her first symptoms was diarrhea and the Doctor we met earlier assumed its typhod and ulcer and he gave her loads of flagyl(I don't know ao tru cos I was far frm home then) then she stopped stooling and won't deficate for weeks. It was d 3rd doctor(gyneacologist) we took her to dt diagnosed d real truth but we felt it wasn't his area of specialisation, so we decided to seek professional hands.

viruz007:
No vex ooo... Wetin u come do after? Cuz for me that hospital and doctor r both dead to me... Imagine the rubbish

My brother, wot shd I av done? There's a yoruba saying dt "olowo sehun gbogbo tan".....if I want to sue them then I should av a concrete evidence; mayb voice record or video(wch I don't av) and if @al I charge them to court my brother, na so so adjournment go end d story....abi? By the time d case reach 5yrs for court, won't I back out...hen en, na ds naija you go hear say yanya bomb blast suspect's case is stl in court....mtcheeeew

My mother had intestinal obstruction bt we couldn't afford d bill(#150,000) by a private hosp in ijebu ode so we brought her to lagos hoping to get a better and cheaper service besides my sis is based in lagos. When we got to gbagada general hosp, she was placed in emmergency unit. She had endogastric tube to evacuate her intestinal content. She has not eaten for 4weeks since she bcame sick. She was placed on drip. Later d surgeons came and each person wl com and press her stomach(swollen & painful) and prescribe drip. They later booked her for surgery and demanded #40k(cheaper we tot), they said she shd b transferred to ward B where no relative would slp wt her, those in ward B ar expected to b taken care by d nurses. They wl b d 1 to giv dem food and care of them. Ward B is neater and silent bt wen we transferred mom there we saw dt d reverse was d promise they made. They leave d patients to wallow in pain unattended to. They just giv drugs and change drip and d nurses go bak to their common room to gossip. 3 days before surgery, we were asked to go do scan nd x-ray for mum, they rejected d results of those ones we av with us. What baffles me is dt despited plenty x-ray centres around gbagada hospital, we were instructed to go to mary- land, its either mary land or none. So, we left gbagada in the morning (11am) and on getting to maryland their x-ray machine is faulty. They didi only d scan for us, because of traffic we got back to gbagada @ 7pm; my mummy was in serious pain, she was just crying all through. D only source of strenght my mummy had was d drip which we have removed since morning and when we got back @ night, d nurses ddnt show any concern dt my mum was weak, it was wt pleading they put back her drip for her. Diff. Things happened dt I can't stat explaining now....to cut d story short, d D-day for d surgery came. We were all happy full of hope.( Meanwhile, since they ddnt allow us sleep wt our patients in ward B, I used to go and peep @ my mum in d mid night and I always c her crying in pain with nobody attending to her.) The MD, Dr Orhiafor came and checked on my mum, he asked us to get blood frm blood bank wch we did, we got everytin ready for d surgery. They av worn d green overall for mum for d surgery(10am) and Doc. Orhiafor told Dr sholanke( d surgeon managing mum b4)to step out of d case and he asked Doc. Tunji(TJ) to com in then he went through our file, he sed he won't do d surgery w.out d x-ray result and we told him wot happent; there he took is phone to call the owner of d diagnostics centre and he sed their machine has been repaired. So dr orhiafor asked us to take mummy back to maryland for d x-ray. Immediately mum heard dt, she started crying(orhiafor shouldn't av sed it in her presence) and she bcame cold. We begged and begged that they shd allow us do it @ a near by, they sed NO. Orhiafor said he would come bak for d surgery in 2days time cos d following day is a public holiday and wen my mummy heard dt too, she was crying dt she can't hold d pain for 2more days again. Mum bcame cold and started shivering seriously, I quickly ran to d theatre(there's an office there) to call on d Drs bt sholanke sent me away and TJ was busy playing with a woman. I ran to Orhiafor and he sed" go n call d younger doctors or is it me dt wl now follow u, common get out" I left in tears and disappointment. Wen I got bak, my mum was already gasping(4pm) I ran again to emmergency and pleaded to 1 Doc to follow me and giv her some hope, wen d Doc got there, he just sed"pele o" and he went to nurses common room and was asking y they don't have cold cocacola in their fridge.....when d nurses saw dt my trouble is too much, they gave me an endless list of drip and injection to go and buy @ the pharmacy. I rushed down to buy( I ddnt even collect change) and on getting back they have placed mum on oxygen bt I noticed that they ddnt put on the oxygen & when I told them they shouted @ me and said" when u know all ds y bring ur mother to d hospital". My mother struggled till she later gave up. When she died (8pm)we wanted to take her corpse bt d nurses sed they must take her to mortuary and we wl pay 10k to get her, we had to beg again to get our corpse oo. We ddnt even get death certificate cos d person to stamp has closed. I later learnt dt docs would refer patients to diagnostics centre where they get their own percentage on every money they patient pays. D nurses too said they know dt what the Drs ar doing is nt proper bt they(nurses) can't attend to surgery patients because the Doc wl hold them responsible incase their flup so they are sorry that they watched my mum died

Hmm....sorry for ur loss, may God comfort u. I lost my precious mother too tru ds non challant attitudes of Doctors.

They didi only d scan for us, because of traffic we got back to gbagada @ 7pm; my mummy was in serious pain, she was just crying all through. D only source of strenght my mummy had was d drip which we have removed since morning and when we got back @ night, d nurses ddnt show any concern dt my mum was weak, it was wt pleading they put back her drip for her. Diff. Things happened dt I can't stat explaining now....to cut d story short, d D-day for d surgery came. We were all happy full of hope.( Meanwhile, since they ddnt allow us sleep wt our patients in ward B, I used to go and peep @ my mum in d mid night and I always c her crying in pain with nobody attending to her.) The MD, Dr Orhiafor came and checked on my mum, he asked us to get blood frm blood bank wch we did, we got everytin ready for d surgery. They av worn d green overall for mum for d surgery(10am) and Doc. Orhiafor told Dr sholanke( d surgeon managing mum b4)to step out of d case and he asked Doc. Tunji(TJ) to com in then he went through our file, he sed he won't do d surgery w.out d x-ray result and we told him wot happent; there he took is phone to call the owner of d diagnostics centre and he sed their machine has been repaired. So dr orhiafor asked us to take mummy back to maryland for d x-ray. Immediately mum heard dt, she started crying(orhiafor shouldn't av sed it in her presence) and she bcame cold. We begged and begged that they shd allow us do it @ a near by, they sed NO. Orhiafor said he would come bak for d surgery in 2days time cos d following day is a public holiday and wen my mummy heard dt too, she was crying dt she can't hold d pain for 2more days again. Mum bcame cold and started shivering seriously, I quickly ran to d theatre(there's an office there) to call on d Drs bt sholanke sent me away and TJ was busy playing with a woman. I ran to Orhiafor and he sed" go n call d younger doctors or is it me dt wl now follow u, common get out" I left in tears and disappointment. Wen I got bak, my mum was already gasping(4pm) I ran again to emmergency and pleaded to 1 Doc to follow me and giv her some hope, wen d Doc got there, he just sed"pele o" and he went to nurses common room and was asking y they don't have cold cocacola in their fridge.....when d nurses saw dt my trouble is too much, they gave me an endless list of drip and injection to go and buy @ the pharmacy. I rushed down to buy( I ddnt even collect change) and on getting back they have placed mum on oxygen bt I noticed that they ddnt put on the oxygen & when I told them they shouted @ me and said" when u know all ds y bring ur mother to d hospital". My mother struggled till she later gave up. When she died (8pm)we wanted to take her corpse bt d nurses sed they must take her to mortuary and we wl pay 10k to get her, we had to beg again to get our corpse oo. We ddnt even get death certificate cos d person to stamp has closed. I later learnt dt docs would refer patients to diagnostics centre where they get their own percentage on every money they patient pays. D nurses too said they know dt what the Drs ar doing is nt proper bt they(nurses) can't attend to surgery patients because the Doc wl hold them responsible incase their flup so they are sorry that they watched my mum died

@pam 09, I fink I av som contributions to ur questions. I wl support dt ur pump ur bossom milk into bottle first so u can b sure if ur LO is getting enof. Wen I had my LO then, I wld suck and I would b hearing him swallow bt unfortunately, he was swallowing his saliva. Unknown to me, I was feeding him wt time and weneva I remove his mouth, he would stat crying; later an elderly woman sucked on ma bossom milk supply and alas! NOTHING CAME OUT, dt was on d 3rd day, u can imagine dt my baby was just swallowing his spit for 3days....no wonder he was crying. D woman later put palm oil on my nipple and washed it wt kankan ibile and I started drinking hot pap. As for d emotional aspect, I was down too @ d time bt one of d reasons we av formular feeds is ds, u can giv him both bossom milk n formular feed nd he'l b fine

3 gbosas to d great mamas in d house....una too much! My LO now feeds on frisogold wheat bt av stopped d SMA cos it gives him running stool. Thanks to u all for ur contributions.........my LO now has 2teeth on his lower jaw(I c them wen he lafs)

Good day mamas in d aos? Abeg I need una advice here based on experience. Wch formular is d best for a baby after exclusive breast feeding. I tried by LO on SMA gold and he's been av running stool. My LO is 6months old and pple associate d diarrhea wt teething, meawhile, I prepare d sma thick cos its nt easy spoonfeeding a watery milk( d nurses adviced against bottle). Som1 says I shd get frisogold WHEAT & another says frisogold RICE; I'm confused. My milk supply has reduced and my LO has lost soo much weight[color=#770077][/color]

Lemme update my fifu(like hausa man wld say) on wot is happening here oo. I'm @ d hospital presently to restitch by vg(heart beating soo fast) bt doc is busy so I'm waiting @ d reception. I can't realy say wot caused my stitches to cut in d first place cos I ddnt sit on hot water for more than a day. Av been siting on warm water and I ddnt spend more than 5mins on each session. Well, after d doc stitched my vg, front part, then he noticed there was bleeding inside*cervical tear*, then he now put 5scissors(don't kno wot they cal dia instrument jare) to widen my vg inorder to stitch d inside(cervical). I think ds could b one of d causes dt loosen d stitches(jus guesing). As if al ds pain neva do, 5days after delivery, I was stl struggling wt cheat o. I had costipation bt d cheat was jus too hard to com out. Hmmm.... Ds is anoda story oo, I av a low ba3 now
