Good evening doctors in the house. Pls I am a breastfeeding mom but I checked my bp yesterday and it was reading 139/89 which I know is on the high side. What do you recommend I use? My baby is 9months old.

edrys:
Morning to all. My 10mnths lo cries and strains a lot whenever he wants to poop (though he poops in 3 days interval b4 now). First we thought it was because of the cereal he was taking, so we change it to cook pap(ogi) and peak milk step 1 but no changes yet. He is still been breastfed. His Mum and I are very worried and concerned now.

My son once had that, so I discovered he hasn't bin taking enough water when at his crèche so I told them to help me give him water well. It stopped after that. Your wife can also take more fruits and also give ur baby few fruits too like watermelon and pureed boiled apple. Hope it helps...

Doubledouble:
Haba! 7 months too late to walk na. Pls tell dem my own pikins walked at 4 months n at 7 months dey r doing high jumps. People can be so silly creating unnecessary unhealthy competition on thgs dat r not. No 2 children is d same, not even twins! Pls stay away frm ppl lyk dat...cheers

lol @ high jump.. Don't mind them, yeye people!

MiracleMum:
Having a good laugh here Their daughter walked at 7 months. She must be "special"
If na me be you, i wont buy something there again because they'll keep monitoring and comparing both babies and its unhealthy.
Hope you didnt take it out on your son because my 11 months old is yet to walk on her own, she's still holding things to walk. So chill, all babies are different and very unique.

My sister dont mind dem ooo, the "special" child is a teenager now oo. I no even look their side as long as my bobo is hitting all his milestones perfectly. You know when people say all those things, I just laugh cos I know every child is unique in their own way..

[quote author=babythug post=42523352]What chair thing biko??
Ehmmmm, it was a slip of the tongue

This drama just made my morning I swear!!! I was coming to rant before sef: some people can like to annoy someone, that was how the woman I buy things from was asking me if my 8 months old son has started walking. I said "no", she and her husband was now saying " he ought to has started now, our daughter walked at 7 months". I just gave them the "'shoro niyen' look, collected my spray starch and zoomed off. If I say make I talk ehn, I go just misyarn!!! People can like to annoy someone joor #rantsover.
BTW, that chair thing sweet die!!! *runsoutofthread*

Thanks for checking on us Ma'am.she's doing well by Gods grace.howz u and urs too?
@ mama a plz help a FTM out.
1 my baby girl jerks frequently while sleeping like she's frightened or sometin
2 her stomach has been hard 4 3 days now n sounds like drum.she stretches,cries,groan if she wants 2 poo.like truout today no poo n shez jez uncomfortable(not on EBF)
3 there's this strange sound she makes while sucking it sounds like her chest or nose is blocked wit cartar or sometimes very heavy sound
4 my 2 wrist hurts can't do any tin serious with dem.to bathe baby na war.I didn't hit dem anywer o

First, my son had a few jerkings too when he was younger but it passed after a while. I just hold him and rock him gently when he does that.
Secondly, for the stomach it may be gas. Also you might want to reduce the formula to water ratio as advised by a mum here.
Third, for the sound in the chest I'll advice u see a paediatrician. My son had same though after a cough and catarrh period so we saw a doc and he gave us some antibiotics. We also had an X-ray to rule out any issue. He was fine after the antibiotics.
Lastly, I can't really say anything about the wrist as I have no experience in that. Other mamas can help... God bless u

OK since am back, here's my prince...

proudmom38:
Lol @drawing rain..My dear I'm trying 2 work things out 4 her,e.g calling her husby first n maybe her parents too later...Thanks

I will advise you to be careful on this matter cos getting involved in an in-law issue can be tricky. Cos after all is said and done, it is her family and you might end up bin tagged "the outsider". She has to rise up and stand on her feet to make the change and this can only be done when she discuss with her hubby. Just be careful and give her all the advice u can give... God bless you

Hello sabi mama pls help a FTM.. ma baby seems 2 stretch alots as if smetin is biting him dunno if s stomach acne. Some days back he cried at nite I use water therapy on his navel in d process he dosed off cos he felt relieved dunno whether I can give him gripe water? Pls sabi mama help a sister.... tx

I can totally relate to this! It is probably colic. Pls try as much as possible to burp him after each feed. You can place him on his stomach facing ur laps and rub his back gently just to get rid of gas. Also you can reduce your milk intake cos it could be affecting him also. Don't worry mama, it's a phase and it will surely pass! God bless ur LO...

Good evening wonderful mamas, its bin a long time on here. I have bin on the silent mode for a while now (though an old member). The support in this thread is real and I pray God bless all of us mightily. Good to be back, not on another missionary journey yet ooo (my DS is still lounging)
Proudmum, my advice for ur friend is just to find a way to get across to her hubby and suggest that she moves out. She can tell him she is comfortable enough to stay alone with the child, this way she can avoid the issues arising. I want to believe they are legally married so it isn't the case of the in laws just taking advantage of her.
I wish her all the best...

proudmom38:
Thanks ma. Just wanted 2 knw if there's a particular period 2 cut their hair....Cos I dnt want 2 cut my son's hair till after his 1yr birthday. But MIL want us 2 cut it. Me n dh no gree o

Like other mamas said, it isn't compulsory to cut the hair. I actually had the same issue but when my father in law kept asking, I just trimmed it down a bit cos DS is hairy so no more stories... lol. And pls werin be dis one "I neva kpekus" after 10 weeks? Abeg pity oga nah, but pls use protection o to avoid stories that touch... lol

mitche15:
i totally agree with u........... was just implying that teething powder is at least the safest, since its for teething purposes

Right now, people have bin pestering me to give my son piccan and the likes, I just tell ok I have heard. Do I really need to give anything? I am confused o jare

[quote author=petylv post=37597553][/quote]Thanks my sis, just when I tot no one will answer my question. Have my reservations too, thanks a lot sis!

MumZ:
Mamas, pls not everything is teething o. My children don't poo wen teething, in fact my dd don't av ny symptom @tall wen teething. I just c her teeth weneva she smiles. Pls if u mamas can, join d 'Ask d Pediatrician' group on Facebook and u can ask experienced peads questions n also get 2 know lots of causes of babies common illnesses. May God bless our los.

Yes o I have since joined the group and I bet it is an awesome group! You get first hand info from professionals on anything and everything about baby and motherhood

Good day mamas,pls I need una advice oo! I don tire for all these teachers of do-this do-that o, they have bin saying I should be giving my almost 4 months old baby bonababe in preparation for teething but I am just curious as to why I should do that. I have always stood my ground when it comes to what I give and don't give my baby. Doctors in the hospital are against it they believe things will happen naturally. Abeg experienced mommas pls advise a FTM ooo!

Good evening dear people. Thank you so much @ifefunmi, i was at hamkad yesterday, i was able to make my findings and register my baby there so will use there for her from now for her medicals and immunisations its way cheaper than the hospital i was using before.
Pls dear mothers, i want to introduce formula to my baby soon pls what are the things i should look out for in a good formula product. Also is it normal to still be having lil postpartum spotting after 7 weeks i'm getting scared its taking too long. Thanks people

You are welcome sis, glad I could help. But I will advise you come very early on ur immunization days cos there is always a lot of people around. As regards postpartum spotting, I really don't know but I'll advise u see a doctor.Don't be scared, you are fine!

Gr8fulHeart:
@proudmom, pls don't loose sleep over ur tommy color. It wil cm bk to its normal color. Wen I gave birth my tomy ws very very black and I'm a fair person. Was so dark dt I dint lik lookin @ my tommy. I use ori ocasionally and stop worrying, I dint evn no wen it returned to its normal color.
Great momas, who don use molfix diapers? Hw good is it? Hw muc for midi jumbo pack size? Reviews plsssss

I currently use it for my son and it is very good, i don't experience leakages with it and no rashes also (I use sheabutter for his bum though). The jumbo pack for size 3 midi should be around 2600 or so(not sure). Didn't get it the last time so I bot 2 packs of economy pack which goes for 1400 each.

Good evening sabi mamas, pls is it compulsory to cut a baby's hair for a fresh one to grow? If yes, pls why?

byvan03:

enioladimeji:
Na wa o. which hosp abeg. It's 15k in my hosp and 10k for Rotavirus. I later took it at another hosp for 10k. Pls how much is MMR and chicken pox?. Here they are both 15,500

Hamkad Hospital at abule egba. Dunno the prices for MMR and chicken pox yet o but I could ask when next I go. My son is just almost 3months

Keji3:
Good day sabi people. Pls has anybody experienced itchy nipples while breastfeeding? My left nipples has been feeling dat way for days now. Rotavirus and pcv is 10k each in my hospital and we are to take it at 3 different times abeg i wont mind any hospital around Abule egba, ijaye, agege area that has cheaper prices for these two immunisations. Thanks

I use Hamkad hospital at U-turn abule egba. Rotavirus is 7k and PCV is 6k5. Rotavirus is 2 doses while pneumococcal is about 4 doses(not sure).

lamdec:
Please o, for immunization is PCV (pneumoccoca) compulsory, I want to pay for Rotavirus which is 7k, and I was told PCV is 9k and I know both are optional but I don't want to risk anything. @nursekaffybill please is it absolutely necessary.

Yes they are optional but if u can afford it, pls give you child. PCV is 6k5 in my hospital though when I went 2 weeks ago. it is a vaccine against pneumonia

proudmom38:
Gud mrng sabi mamas. Pls o I need ur help asap...little Proudy's unblical cord fell 5days after birth n everything was fine,but yestrdy I noticed blood stain frm d navel n dis morning too. Pls wat's d cause n wat can I do? (2) Pls mamas dat has done plastibel 4 dia los,how long does it take 2 fall off? Little Proudy did he's 3days ago n his penis is a little bit swollen. Pls help a FTM...TIA

First of all let me say welcome to the club! To ur questions, like other mum said just keep using methylated spirit to clean it and it will dry off soon.
For the plastibell, I also used it for my son and it fell off on the 5th day. I was told at the hospital not to apply anything and it heal up really nicely.Just don't let his diaper get too wet before you change it to avoid contact with poo and urine.

Congrats to the proudy family, may the lo bring abundant joy to your home! Now the wait is over, we bless the name of God. Hearty cheers family!!!
