Hummingbird: Also his brother is always hiccuping,too much for my comfort.....plus I heard babies sleep routine changes after some weeks,mine stil slip all tru d day,and we always on vigil @ nyt?

Lol.Nyt vigil indeed.D nyt vigil continues o.Its worst wen u resume work dats d part I detested.Well,hiccup is normal at dis age&is frequent til they get to I think 6mths or so (not sure wen my baby's own reduced) but nomatter wot I did;how often sh burped afta feed,d hiccup wil always surface.Me dat didn't do exclusiv,I'l b pumpin her wit water but stil nothin so just tolerate it.It cam b irritation but wot can u do?

tjskii: @ify,my son was also doin d same thing,pooping bout 4-5 times a day(not watery o)I realized it was cos of d goldenmorn he was takin,,bottomline if the cereal ure givin ur baby is high in fiber,hez goin to poo a lot

True.Weneva my baby takes golden morn,sh poos lik dat

blank: I don't think walkers help. They make the child overtly reliant on them and they become lazy.

Walkers help.My baby walked at 8mths 2wks.We constantly put her there wen sh's awake&sh got used standin so even if sh's out of d walker,sh liked standin whil holdin thngs.There's a way 2set d walker so dat d child won't just b sittin on it

missmishel: should i give him water now that he's taking baby food other than breast milk?
since the instruction says no storing, can i use hot water from the flask each time i want to feed him?
does ur baby react negative to it at first?

Lik @hummingbird said;Ya,U can use hot water frm d flask but u shld mak sure d water is warm.U can put hot water&allow it 2cool or u add hot water&add cold water too.2ndly,U can't store baby milk.Whateva dat's remainin has 2b discarded.Since Aptamil is a vry expensiv milk,I'l advice u knw d quantity he/sh consumes so dat u won't b wastin d milk but u hav 2use up d milk within a month or so of openin it.Try introducin 30mls then increase 2 60mls.Pls hygiene is vry important.Try&c if ur baby wil tolerate it.
Well,I think u can introduce water too.Water doesn't hurt

missmishel: pls can someone using it enlighten me how to take the measurement? i dont get the one writen at the back of the pack pls.

I think most baby milk is one level spoon to 30mls of luke warm water&60mls to 2level spoons of milk.Level spoon means u don't allow d milk 2b ova above d spoon itself

missmishel: pls sis. this is the 3rd time my baby is pooing today. rescently he poo 4, 5 days and his doc said it's not bad that he's adding weight. today is the very first day that am giveing him something other than breast milk. (aptamil and water)should i continue or what should i do?

Withhold d aptamil 4now&giv bosom milk alone for 3/4 days&c how it goes since d doc said he's ok.Meanwhil pooin 3/4 tyms is not alarmin if its now watery.

$wtme:
Awwwww thatz sweet but my hips r hurting cos of my implant

Wot kind of implant do u hav? Cos I so wanna get an a** implant so dat my a** wil b hugeee

@tjskii Sweetie I b Eko Babe although DH is gettin transfered 2Bonny! Where d hell is dat? Is dat even in Nigeria or Cameroun? Or where?? Don't mind me.Just thinkin out loud.Though I'm fastin&prayin they'l change d transfer 2PH or Warri or nowhere sef cos I can't run 2homes.Chei.Marriage no easy o

@Hummingbird.My dear;I think d boy dat doesn't tak d BM just doesn't lik it.There's nothin wrong wit d BM since d other twin is takin it.Evry child coms wit its own characteristics.My nephew out of nowhere just stopped takin BM.He'l spit it out or throw it up.U'r lucky he's takin&toleratin d Aptamil.If u keep tryin 2giv d BM&he refuses 2tak it,then u hav 2settl 4artificial milk alone 4him&continue breastfeedin d other twin.Its just d palavar of wakin up at nyt 2prepare milk but u hav 2try ok?Although I noticed artificial milk last longer in d tommy than BM so he won't wake up morethan 2/3xs 2feed him at nyt.Just keep evrythng handy&sleep at d outer side of d bed.FYI;u'r not lazy.Its not eazy takin care of twins.I hail u dear.I don't knw if I hav ur kind of stamina or energy.If I had or hav twins

@Omoge;I'v heard of it.Abeg no giv.D paedo said we shld b treatin our baby's teethin symptomatically.If it coms wit fever,u giv fever drugs&so on.As 4weanin d baby at 11mths,its ok.

@chrystee.Hi beauty.How ar d twins.I feel 4u but I don't think d answer u'r seekin 2get lies here.It shld com frm d paediatricians.I think since d paedo has already told u 2stick 2lactose free milk,stick 2dat.Similac is good but u hav al d tym 2giv dat wen d dr okays it.I wish u d best.

Sunavico: Hi Intelligent Mothers in the house!I'm new here.Pls mas,Can I give my four month old pap?If yes,what type and how do I prepare it and make it nutritious?

I won't say is 2early but y ar u in a hurry 2start LO on pap?My nephew started takin pap at 3mths cos he refused BM&also hated d takin milk alone so if u hav no particular reason 4introducin pap dat early,y don't u supplement BM wit SMA gold or NAN 1 4now til he gets 2 6mths.Anyway,discus wit ur paediatrician 1st then try&buy pap frm anybody u knw dat's clean enuf&giv him/her 2c if his system tolerates it then we'l proceed frm there.My thought though

Benefits of cod liver oil


This marvelous golden oil contains large amounts of elongated omega-3 fatty acids, preformed vitamin A and the sunlight vitamin D — essential nutrients that are hard to obtain in sufficient amounts in the modern diet. Samples may also naturally contain small amounts of the important bone- and blood-maintainer vitamin K. So,

• Cod liver oil provides vitamin D that helps build strong bones in children and helps prevent osteoporosis in adults.

• The fatty acids in cod liver oil are also very important for the development of the brain and nervous system

• Cod liver oil greatly improves heart function to prevent heart disease and to treat it even in advanced stages, after a heart attack and after heart surgery

• Cod liver oil alters the linings of the arteries in such a way as to improve healing after damage

• Cod liver oil can provide vitamin A on a continuous basis throughout the year.

• Many of the conditions addressed by cod liver oil include obesity, hypertension, insulin resistance, adult onset diabetes and stroke

• In numerous studies, the elongated omega-3 fats found in cod liver oil have been shown to improve brain function, memory, stress response, immune response, allergies, asthma, learning and behavioral disorders, including bipolar syndrome and manic-depression

• Cod liver oil is most famous for contributing to bone health, preventing and reversing rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults

• Pregnant women using cod liver oil have infants with a lower risk for juvenile type 1 diabetes. This effect was found only in mothers taking cod liver oil, not in mothers taking multivitamin supplements

@honeypie; thanx a lot.U'r a darl.I knw Edmark shakeoff.My parents&granny use it once in a while.I'l pass on ur mssg&wen there's any testinomy;I'l definately relay it 2u.As 4MIL (s) in dis Naija? I don't knw if they use jazz 2hold their sons.So manipulative.They make their DIL walk on egg shell.They even report u wen u forget 2cal al week.God wil help those that hav snitchy mother&sister-inlaws IJN

blank: By schedule I mean, they have a time they eat, nap, play read, etc. Now, they know what to expect at any time and welcome it.
The disadvantage is that they do not like their schedule being disrupted. E.g we go out and return late, they become so grouchy and over tired

The advantage supercedes d disadvantage.I wish I learnt this early enuf.I'l start frm 2day 2enforce rules.I pray it works 4me.Thanx anyway

omogemi: Prednisolone inj ws wht ws given my daugther yest. I understand its a steroid. I calld up my doc friend ds mornin n explaind 2 him n he freakd out. He said there wsnt any need for an inj not to talk of steroids. He told me not to go back for d 2nd inj as there wsnt any need for it in d first place. Amoxil had been given hence it will help take care of whateva.
D rashes itself has disappeard. Thanks 2 d agbo i did n d calamine lotion. I dnt knw even knw why i allowd d inj. I v bin slappin myself since lst nyt.

My darling Omoge.I wish I can hug u 2calm ur nerves dwn.D dr u called,is he a paediatrician or just a general practioner?Inshort let him freak out vry well&hit d wall.Wen last did he update his practicin knowlege?U knw som drs lik 2talk dwn on other better drs.D injection given 2ur baby can't harm her.My brother has chronic cough as a result of complication of measles/chicken pox in childhood.Amoxil is an antibiotic.It fights bacteria&not inflammation (if I got it right) moreova,frm wot I read,measles is a viral infection.Givin antibiotics is just 2reduce or prevent complications&not 2cure it cos it doesn't hav a cure.Drs&health workers knw better.Its good u went 2c a dr;2clear ur conscience of evry evry.Ur baby is fine now.Get ova it ok?

blank: Please mothers, let us not get too hysterical. Prednisolone is a strong steriod no doubt but sometimes it can save our children's lives! My fear is that we will start rejecting the drug but it has its uses. I know it is an anti-inflammatory drug that can be used to treat asthma, certain skin rashes, bonchial inflammations, allergic reactions, chest infections etc.
It is a very effective drug that can save a kid's life when it is necessary. I have had cause to use it for my son and it worked immediately where others failed. The doctor's are professionals. Let them do their job.

@Blank.God bless u 4ur comment&reassurance.Omogemi has bn beatin her self up.&Lik I told her,these drs esp d consultants knw betta.They do research,go 4conferences&so on;update their knowledge just lik we update our knowledge in our own fields too by goin 4trainings&conferences so they can't giv u poison cos they knw we mordern day mothers ar learned&hav internets.Its good sh took d injection written by d dr.Olden days,they used certain herbs&these herbs ar also used in producin som of these drugs u c so if they don't giv drugs 4measles in d olden days,mayb they had alternativ methods lik d agbo sh talked about.Its just dat oyibo has given these herbs different chemical names.frm what I read up;Prednisolone is an anti inflammatory just lik hydorcortisone&piriton so that can't cause any harm.I knw dat wen my husbnd's nephew cam 4hols&caught chicken pox durin summer lesson.D paedo prescribed piriton&antibiotics&ibuprofen for d fever&one eyedrop lik dat&hydrocort&visita plus cream;cos d itchin on d eye&body was bad but within few days,he was good without any complications but it just left few spots on his skin.I always do wot d dr says evenif I hav my doubts

@honeypie! Thanx a lot dear.I'l email it 2dem&we'l tak it one step at tym.U knw in Naija,we 2lik already made.Nobody likes goin thru process of dis&dat.They'l ask me now if there's no place they'l get already prepared ones esp d detox.Well,my own is 2render help 2those that're willin 2b learn&follow instructions.He who wears d shoes,knws where it hurts d most.My frnd Lily is just d most unfortunate&now her mother-inlaw is threatenin 2throw her out of d house cos her husbnd is an only son&d guy dull no b smal.His family controls him lik remote.He was just lucky 2hav inherited d family busines (money miss road).Her MI said sh's possessed&dat sh probably has a spirit husbnd dat eatin her children cos sh's so fair (is a halfcast though) 4her 2b goin thru al these misfortunes.Inshort evryday,sh coms 2cry 4me.I pray dis procedure hers her especially

$wtme:
Hahahahahaha I know say ur children no let u sleep, sorry ehn.From tonight when its 9pm tell them its bed time,tuck them in their bed switch off d lights n TV when they notice everywhere is booorrring(like they say)they will gradually,not immediately fall asleep,make sure u do this everyday until they get used 2 it.....

Thanx dear.That's wot I'l do.Wen they c me watchin Tv,they wanna stay wit me cos DH always kicks me out of d room cos he wants 2sleep so I can't use d Tv in d room&i hav a lot programs I watch at nyt.Inshort eh!I think I hav 2sacrifice Tv 4now cos its weighin me dwn.I stil havn't gotten ur email dear

Is there any technique mothers use dat I dn't knw on whch makes children sleep early?

omogemi: d inj part i asked d doc why she was given and he said its to help prevent pnemonia and eye and ear infections which measles can cause. a friend of myn said i shouldnt have let them give her. i wonder why afterall i m not a doctor. na make my baby dey kampe.

If its d paedo dat prescribed d injection,its good u took it.They knw betta.And since sh's on antibiotics,sh's covered.I read up dat d complication of measles is eye,ear&chest infection.I knw dat one of my brother hav chronic cough (as dr called it) as a long term complication of d measles abi chicken pox dat he suffered in childhood.An indian dr whom took him to said wen he had measles/chicken pox,he was supposed 2b covered wit antibiotics or b given one injection he mentioned dat's given to sicklers 2cover their chest frm pneumonia.So he has 2liv wit d cough.Wen he's coughin here,adult lik him,it has a weird sound.

omogemi: my sis, it isnt easy in that position. i have been thru it to and i can tell u that its God's grace for some women to have easily. what honie said is quite thru about the MDR. if a drug works for one person, others go and get it. do u know that clomid is not meant for every one? yet it is a fertility drug. how i conceived is God after so many drugs and fasting and prayers. na only N100 medicine i take get belle

I'm laughin so hard.Abeg my sister,expanciate on dis 100 naira medicine abeg.My frnds ar so much in agony.Pls what's MDR pls.D names I saw on dat TTC trend? Chei! My sister.My vry close frnd also took dat clomid&it scattered her period 4a while b4 it normalized.Sh does trackin (woteva dat means) almost evry month.Sh has bn 2prophets;fasted;prayed?&dis particular one has neva concieved b4.Sh even married as a virgin.Hmmm

$wtme:
d rashes came out n it was all over her body,d temperature just dropped, i tell u d Dr was surprised n he said e now knows d importance of palmi.The elderly nurses made me understand that if d rashes doesn't come out it causes temperature 4 them .

Hmmmh.just learnin abt d palmwine.Its true.Wen d rashes surfaced;her temperature dropped

Honiepie24: @jade tnx 4 ur compliment.D fact is most ttc ladies hv developed MDR(multiple drug resistant) without deir knowin,so i try to tk dem bk to d drawin board which is for ur drug or fertility protocol to work u hv to sweep,wash nd cleanse ur system thru a detox b4 d toxin build up in ur system wil allow ur medication a breathin space

Hewww! C protocol.Just 2get pregnant.Somthng we on dis trend ar plottin on d family plannin 2do 2prevent pregnancy.May God help us women

corrall: hmmm,

my baby has heat rash o, well i think it is. its tiny and itches her. Please what can i do? i have been using agnesia powder, but i never notice a difference. Someone mentioned to mix ABF cream with ori and rub on her face.

Please who knows about this?

Its good.Try it.I myself,i mixed ori&visita plus&sudocream&it worked 4my baby then used risin powder

@Honeypie darl.U'r such a wonderful lady.Abeg no vex 4dis my question o.I stumbled on dis TTC trend just out of curiosity&i noticed how active u ar there.Mehhnnn;d kind of drugs&techniques&medical procedures they're mentionin there sounds so alien 2me.Chei!

limsycutey: @jadewilliam, your friend is strong o, when my water broke and labor didn't start, I had to be induced with pitocin, it made me have continuous contractions, no break in between, it wasn't funny at all. I was screaming and begging for CS, then my baby now pooped inside again, I was so scared. We were both stressed out, she was tired when she came out, she didn't cry at first, the doctor had to beat her.

Oh! Sweet! Pele.Evry mother wit her own experience.Labour no b moi-moi walai.Thank God 4mercy&grace.Wot women face in d course of pregnancy,labour&delivery? Only God understands.My frnd was just lucky.God knws how 2show extra mercy 2these motherless ppl.Her water didn't break.D dr even told her dat if her water breaks&stil no progress,they'l b forced 2do Cs cos d cord might tie d neck or somthng he said abt d cord comin dwn wen d water breaks.Sh was just havin contractions but d dr said d contraction was not strong enuf&was not stayin long enuf.Afta they added a drug 2d drug;com&c contraction&then D midwife broke her water wen her cervix was somthng somthng dialated&then lik joke lik joke,c d baby's head.
Sh's just lucky&her faith pulled thru.Sh kept confessin dat sh'l hav d baby herself dat sh doesn't hav anyone 2tak care of her afta d Cs.Well,her husbnd's aunt just arrived yestanyt .Lucky her&thank God cos we were thinkin of who'l b bathin d baby cos sh's a 1st timer.Common cord,sh no sabi clean sef

omogemi: hmmmmm. It could probably be teething rash coz d upper teeth is coming out.

My dear,Is dis d 1st teeth sh's bringin out? Does ur baby's teething com wit fever&rash lik myn? If sh's had any teeth b4 now. Anyway,u'v got nothin 2worry abt both ways cos u said sh's takin amoxyl antibiotics so sh's covered&thank God d fever is gone.May God heal her IJN.Amen

omogemi: . thank God she's handling it well. no temp, and playing around. just eating a little and i m giving her breast milk to help her. it is well with us o. motherhood is 'easy' IJN.
its quite strange to me that she can have measles. i thought it catches kids when they are older.

My mum said I shld cook sand&do som sandish water s**,I ignored dat advice cos It sounded Odd.Then my frnd called me&i told her abt d measles&sh said dat her baby(d same age wit myn) had measles too 2wks b4 myn happened cos we both go 4immunization 2geda&we'v both given al d measles&MMR vaccines.So sh said sh used seven keys 2power kiniko dat I shld giv my baby 2drink&rub on d body.Got d somthng but I didn't giv her 2drink o cos d colour alone fear me but i added it 2her cream&also add it 2bathin water.I was also rubbin her calamine lotion.Afta lik 3/4days,it went.My baby used 2hav rashed durin teethin but paedo said point blank ''its measles.Just get calamin lotion&wait it out since sh just completed antibiotics just a wk ago.Hmmmm

iamteekaygal: Thank you so much o.Yes, he is 1year+ you and one other mother on this thread recommend Complan for me, because I use to give him peak only. I talked to my doc about the weight issue, and we concluded the breastfeeding might be the reason, aldou I don't really take sweet things and all that, which shld make adding weight easy. I'll give ur other suggestions a try too. Thank you!

Sweetie;I remembered we discussed d complan milk as against d peak 123 but wot confused me wot wen u said in ur recent post dat ur baby wil soon b one&u'r hopin 2stop BF.Anyway,discus wit ur paedo abt d cod liver oil.D milk u'r givin ur boy is good.Also try d early puttin him under d early mornin sun.Don't worry 2much abt ur weight.If u c my sister afta 3kids.Sh's so skinny.Might b weighin 50-55kg sef cos sh took afta my dad's stature but stil try takin bama&hollandia yoghurt.They'r fattenin.Since u'r hopin 2stop bosom feedin,it won't b goodd 2tak d kunu now cos u hav 2minimize fluid intak.Wen d bosom milk dries up,u can start d kunu.I hope it works 4u.As 4me,it expanded my tommy.Wen I stopped d kunu,my tommy went down.Goodluck
