I'm good, How's the Giddy family? My regards to the Giddybabies.

We are all fine, thanks. Kisses to baby Jay

My cappo before the war, how are you doing. @Adorablewifey.

PraisesG:
So sorry dear, you have to be patient with the drugs,try calamine lotion or benzyl benzoate for the itching. Rub on the skin only.
Benzyl benzoate is hot, please don't apply to baby genitals.
Use izal to clean beddings and separate the infant's clothes from the rest of house,to prevent cross infection.
Good luck.

@Beatiegirl, to add to this, if you're gonna get benzyl benzoate, also make sure it doesn't get to the baby's eyes. This includes baby scratching her body then touching her eyes. That thing is a beatch in the eyes. Better still, just use calamine lotion.

Good day mamas.

I ported from the pregnancy thread o and a gym. Pls I need help, my baby is 2weeks and a day old yet his cord hasn’t fallen off. We keep cleaning regularly with spirit, nothing. The tip is dried but the inside still looks fresh, and he is always in pain wen we clean. Don’t know what to do again. Any suggestions pls?

How many times a day do you clean? You may need to go back to the hospital.

Hello Mothers,
Has anyone ever experienced of heard of Microfilaria in a 10 mths old, and how it was managed.
The baby-sitter I brought had this Microfilaria (The blood tests I did, before letting her into my home did not reveal this).
It is said to be like an infection of tiny worms swimming in the blood, and causing severe itching. Especially at night.
I sent her home to treat herself immediately I found out after a failed attempt to treat her from scratching body, and then my baby started to fall ill frequently. Against the doctor's advice, I went for a lab test on her, and Microfilaria was found.
It causes her to itch severely, and a rash that is spreading from her armpit to her stomach, thighs, legs and hands.
The hospital I use opened up that they do not know what to administer, I left there and went to another one; they administered a combination drug Albendazole and DEC (FOR 14 DAYS).
This is the third day, and the rash/itching seem to be increasing.
I just hope I can find some form of head way here.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph. I just googled it and seems the medicine they gave you is what's used to treat it. Try complete it first cuz some ailments get worse before they get better. If this doesn't work, Please take her to a general hospital.

Mine actually poops everyday. . But den it's still the same ish.. well, let me stop worrying since it seem not much of an issue.. Thanks for this input, I appreciate

That flaws my theory then . Its actually an issue especially since it's daily. What did you change your diet to? People usually recommend eating more fruits and vegetables, esp pawpaw. And forsaking bread and other flour-based products.

firstLadyy:
Mothers pls come to my aid.. my 7weeks old poo is usually very difficult for her to poo.. it usually comes out lumpy like dt of an adult but soft.. unlike the normal wattery baby poo.. someone said it's what I eat.. i hv tried changing my diet but doest seem to change anything.. pls what food m I meant to avoid or eat the most as we r on EBF.. pls help a confused mum

I've been having the same issue too. My baby poops like once in a week, and pooping day is usually a lot of drama and seems painful. My theory is that the poo loses most of its water in the body due to its long stay. I tried changing diet but the only thing that worked was taking lots of mangoes, but that one even gave him watery, then green stool so I gave up. I've just decided to take it as something he'd outgrow. It didn't happen with my DD cuz despite being EBF, she pooped everyday sometimes more than once a day and it's the same foods I'm still eating.

Good evening house.my baby of 3weeks has rash on her kokolo(my older daughter word for genital).I went to the hospital n was told it's diaper rash...so tribotan baby was given to us.my wahala now is,will I apply the tribotan baby n Vaseline same time before wearing her diapers??

If it's a really bad rash, i apply the baby tribotan, and leave the baby without diapers for most of the day. But if it's just a small rash then i mix with small vaseline before I put the diaper on her.

Trendytessy:
I wish I have where to hide

Are yours up to two yet. This video of this mum hiding in the pantry from her quadruplet says it all. There are some kids you just can't not hide from. You'll find somewhere when the time comes, even toilet.

Hello mothers.

Please I need help.

My kids are too active, too hyper active. Never seen such busy kids!

One is 5 and the other is going to be 3, it's being crazy.

We always cause a scene whenever we go out. From running away and me running after them to so many other things. Car almost ran into one of them some weeks ago. I felt weak, someone even insulted me and looked at me disgustingly cos of it, like i wasn't watchful or stupid not to put them to caution.

Once i pack they are ready to jump out of the car and begin to run. People say i dont allow rhem to go out, where dem wan go? Afterall they go to school.

My hubby is pisssd and am stressed over this attitude of theirs. I can't sit beside them, my 3 years old will turn my body to her play ground. I lock myself in my room 70% of the time. They hadly take a nap.

How do engage them properly? For now it's tv or playing with toils (which they dont fancy that much), i buy different toils and they get tired easily with them.

Am thinking of stopping oat for them, they take oat almost monday to friday before leaving for school. Could oat be the cause?

I don't want to start beating them so they wont get used to it and become stubborn.

Am seriously thinking of resigning my job, get a shop where they come to every day after school. Let them begin to go out now since them say I no dey allow them go out. Whenever we go out they become weird.

You can always take them to play outside in the evenings or go to the park on weekends. Me I hide from GB a lot too, the small energy I have, cannot match her own.

I said I'm asking for my village ppl
Thanks for referring me to her moniker, lemme check her out

Be careful

amSteph:
Thanks. He sweats on his neck area even if he’s not wearing any top. The rash seems to be spreading. I’ll try the cream.

It's heat, always happens to big babies. Make sure you always take time to clean the neck with a face towel at bath times and bath twice a day for now until the weather gets cooler. I can't even dare put powder on my kids unless on very cold days, if not the powder mixes with heat to create a way more nasty rash. Baby tribotan in small amounts always works, use fan or AC (but moderately) when it gets really hot. Use paper to fan or sit outside when there's no light and always dab sweat off him with a face towel when he's sweaty. Just try to avoid heat rashes as much as possible. It would get better as he grows older.

Hello moms. My 5month old has a very stubborn drool rash on his neck. I’ve tried fighting it with Agnesia powder but it seems to make it worse.also tried leaving it alone but didn’t improve. Am currently dabbing it with methylated spirit twice a day after his bath but still no improvement. I try to always keep the area dry from drool and sweat. Nothing has worked and it’s been weeks.

Please what else can I try to effectively extinguish this rash for good?

Try baby tribotan, just very little at a time so he doesn't sweat more, and try to make sure he's always dressed for the weather and doesn't sweat a lot.

myzone18:
At the hospital, i was told not to add anything that it will fall off by itself. For my son, i didn't add anything and it fell off but this one is till attached even after 2 weeks. It's not smelling neither does it have any pus but it is till attached. My mum is asking me to use methylated spirit tobe cleaning it but the hospital said i shouldnt add anything that it will fall off. pls help as i am getting really afraid is somerhing is wrong.

You can use spirit and cotton wool like your mum suggested, cuz I used for my two kids. But I think it also depends on the weather. GB was born around this time of the year and hers lasted about 2 weeks. But my son was born during December harmattan, and it dried up and fell off in less than a week cuz the weather was drying everything up. No need to be scared anyway since everything still looks okay cuz it would still fall off, with or without spirit.

myzone18:
Good day sabi mama, I'm new here just gave birth almost 3weeks ago. Pls make una help me for this matter as I'm confuse on what to do. My baby of almost 3 weeks(will be 3 weeks on thursday) till has the umbilical stump cord on her. I am worried cos for my first son within 2 weeks, the cord has fallen off and healed. Should i be worried over that or i should go to the hospital.pls advise me as i am feeling concerned. I am not in nigeria so i am afraid cos i am alone and dont know what to do.

How were you told to care for it at the hospital and have you been doing that?

funmiketoyole:
Shuu.. nobody wan ans me? Abeg o b4 hubby change mind pls, ejor, Biko

Pele, we ar mostly Lagos mum's here. Jazzyjazz please come and answer.

I'd say look for a quiet restaurant with a sit out, and use the sit out.

Liftedhands:
Happy Easter sis, no i haven't tried it with oven! I doubt it will come out like bbq cos it won't have that smoky taste and aroma. I do mine with charcoal on a coalpot.

Ok thanks.

Goodday. please help a ftm. my 4 months old baby eyeballs are red. Though, he has boil and it has bursted and it's drying up. Do you think its the boil pain that is making is eyeballs red?
cc Giddyperson, Zaynie, FloraEC

I saw this before but I don't know. Red eyes might mean he's stressed or in pain, boils are usually very painful so that might be it. Poor baby, I know what boils did to GB. If the boil dries up and his eyes are still red or new boils pop up, pls take him to the hospital.

FloraEC:
You should have tagged on Holy Saturday night

I'd tag you again tomorrow then

Bomgirl:
I marinated mine overnight with lotsa spices.
Then next day, I put it in my baking tray, put knobs of butter and wedges of lemon and placed in my already preheated oven. I had some leftover spice mix I kept rubbing on it and turning intermittently till it was done. Made a very spicy pepper sauce and served together. I don't know if this helped.

Can I see a picture of it please if you have one, did the end result look like the one I posted? Thanks

JGracious:
Kuku serve yourself with the one in the picture na.

Try it out. You can buy barbecue sauce and liquid smoke to give it the smoky smell

Never heard of liquid smoke, tastes good already. Seems id sha just go and find an enamel bowl, some coal and a mesh cuz I must eat this chicken for easter.

FloraEC:
I've not tried it neither have I barbecued a chicken before. Lemme tag those that have posted something like that. cc breadplanets bomgirl
But why will you tag me on a Good Friday with the picture?

the chicken is for Easter Sunday, hold your long throat

amorprincesa:
Please don't cause quarrel between me and hubby this evening. Before I will beg him to go from fast food to fast food looking for this exact type of chicken.

Ndo your case is special
