you are overdosing him, too much of vitamin c causes diarrhoea

Olaiswealth: @jam04,thanks for ur thots...I thot so too and that prompted me to go for an allergy test(food),which i know already.

Then i understand environmental factors can cause it too so I'm wondering if mothers can refer me to a good washing soap for her clothes(av used ariel,B29,lux,premier)
An for her hair that has fallen and isn't growing back,is there anything I can do too?

Thanks

yes you are right about the environmental factors but I'm suspecting atopic eczema since she got it through food allergies. His skin is dry most of the time and once he comes in contact with his allergies, his immune sytems responds to the allergies and the red patches appear. Don't be surprised, his skin is also reacting to some of the chemicals in the cream and solutions you are applying on his skin to treat the eczema. To start with, stop applying those anti-fugal creams you are applying on his skin and start using creams suitable for his skin condition. Also stop using the detergents you are using for his clothes. I will recommend some creams,lotion and soap you will use for him. Its an expanded list, so let me know if you can't find any in your area/locality. One of the most important elements in managing atopic eczema is to keep the skin soft and supple by frequent and generous use of non-cosmetic moisturisers. For his bath use either one of these: Doublebase,Eczemol,ultrabase,aquabar (if you stay in abeokuta, ultrabase and eczemol is available at precious pharmacy in Oke-ilewo and also at idera pharmacy at oni-koko)

For ointment for his hair/scalp, use epaderm or hydromol, diprobase( diprobase is also at precious pharmacy)

For cream, use E45, diprobase cream(different from the ointment), hewletts cream(contain peanut oil).

for lotion, use aveeno, vaseline dermacare lotion or oilatum( vaseline dermacare is at barbadox pharmacy).

These will bring significant changes to your baby skin in a matter of days. Avoid perfumes on his skin and also avoid completely the use of detergents to wash his clothes and plates. You can use RAJ soap for his laundry or any good oil based laundry soap

Chiomaonyeizu: Jam04....i complained of him breathing deeply so i went to d doctor n it was confirmed cold so he is just recovering frm d cold but heis weak

weakness might be due to the antibiotics he qas given for the cold treatment or he wasn't given any drug?

Olaiswealth: @chikkyberry,i must confess av seen 3 different GPs,2 diff dermatologist...all they keep saying is it's atopic dermatitis (infant eczema).yoruba's call it ela

N that the only thing that can work for it is the hydrocortisone cream.infact I was referred for a food allergy test( could be reacting to some food shes sucking from me)I found out she tested positive to egg n wheat after getting the result this week which I have removed the two from my diet.

the infection isn't from her skin( as confirmed with your agbo and cream report) but from her blood and that's definitely due to 2 factors: what she got from you while you carried her in your woman (2) what she gets through breast milk from you. Have a doc do a broad test on her and continue with the allergy test to get all her allergies

Chiomaonyeizu: My baby has been weak n sleepy after treatment from cold..pls mums n dads what can I give him to boost his energy he is six months

treatment from cold Can you expantiate pls?

Inspired na MOD for auto section oooo..no wonder!!!!!

wonderiyke: In that case, I have a strong feeling that we'll be meeting in the nearest future. Keep up the good work.

will be looking forward to the meeting..thanks

julijuu: Pls mummys in d house can I give my 4month old baby BECOMPLEX syrup cos he refuse to take anything for days now so am luking for wat will make him hungry seems like d abidec and vit c am giving him is no more effective pls any advice\suggestion will be appreciated.

Abidec is a very good multivatimin, I doubt if changing it will make any difference. Something else is making him refuse food.

wonderiyke: Jam04 it seems your firm has regular jobs requiring trucks. Are these jobs constant(nonstop) indeed?

yes constant non-stop. It is an everyday job

corrall: Please how was it sorted, surgery? Or just medication

it will surely be surgery...

ona2: morning mothers, quiet a lot to learn from this thread again.

@jam04 weldone. my 20 month old son is undergoing that phase now. he is just growing his premolars. had only two teeth at 1yr. he just turned against all the adult foods he had learnt to eat for like four months now on and off. and has been having exactly those symptoms you descirbed. of late again, he started with cough, cattarh temperature, and loss of apetite except for tea and golden morn. never knew teething could make him loose appetite. have taken him to his pead. and was given some drugs. he is much better now. but i will definately stick to your advise on cattarh. he does that like crazy.

my younger son, just 3weeks, breaths like he has cattarh in his nose. abeg, what can i do. i have put silverbird in his hair oil, apply nycil baby menthol and cover him up. infact the windows in the house are usually shut. abeg, help a mom, is there any other remedy.

Glad to read your 20 months son is doing fine. As for the younger baby, do not use any drug for him, use the same method I prescribed above for him as well. It will pass. Put silverbird in their bathing water morning and night and get the vicks babyrub for them. Its a phase, it will pass. Mothers should be extra careful at this period because of the cold weather. Cover your baby very well esp morning and in the evening and when there is weather change during the day.

favoredgal: How do u know it's not enough for her?isn't she putting on weight? If she seems to be sucking more,she is probably hitting a growth spurt and the increase in demand will also trigger increase in supply of your milk

Anyways, formula, which is also an option if you Can't keep up with exclusive anymore.

It's the only alternative actually at 3 months because The earliest any pediatrician will allow you introduce solid is 4 months. Many will advice moms to even wait till 6 months. Because at 4 months there are only few foods that may be tolerated by an infants immature digestive system

spot on

demmykay: good morning all, pls I need Ur advice on wat to use on my son. he has dis cough for sometimes now. gone to see his doctor and he has used several antibiotics but still no improvements. d cough do seize atimes for days but resurface again. doctor checked his chest and did some test all came out fine.pls house wat oda way or thing do I need to do cos am not just happpy seeing him cough d way he do. someone suggested ginger juice and honey mixed togeda, 1teaspoon but am scared of ginger on a child of 1nd half years don't know how safe. also lime and TomTom. pls re did local remedies safe for his system? Ur suggestion re highly needed

local remedy won't work since medical remedy didn't( I assume your doc prescribed the appropriate medication). Do you cover him up very well at night and very early in the morning? Do you use eucalyptus oil in his bathing water morning and evening? What ointment do you apply on his feet when he want to sleep? Do you use moisturizer? He just needs to have a soothing throat passage and believe me, the cough will be history. Don't bombard his liver with medication and concoction abeg

pyzdan: he doesnt have any teeth yet. i will do as u have suggested and equally take him to hospital. but i just hope he start eating other foods. thanks alot

9 months and not teeth yet? Well i have seen cases like that before not just many/common. Take him to the paed for the irritation issue since it isn't what I thought it to be. Will be glad if you can come back here after your visit to know what your doc diagonise and prescribe so that we can all learn

Chiomaonyeizu: Gudmorni all....pls i notice my six months old son's breathing is deep unlike before n he now snores while sleeping and there is nothing like cattarh coming out n no fever ...pls wht could be d cause. Pls i need urgent answer am a first time mum

do you or hubby have a snoring history? Even at that, baby is fine. Babies respiratory tract isn't fully developed and he is trying to breathe in as much air he could get and the big boy is enjoying sleep. Abeg free am

pyzdan: All this things u listed ar happening to him. What will i do. Pls i need ur advice

the irritation is caused by the growth of the 'pre-molars'(I guess he has the first 6 or 8 frontal teeth by now),they are painful and worry babies because they are a big, fat, broad-surfaced tooth. I would have recommended an antibiotics and a cough mixture but I do not know your baby drug history, take him to your paed and discuss with him. now that you know what cause the irritation, you will have a robust discussion with the paed. Docs are more welcoming when they know patients have a little knowledge of what's wrong with them.

For the catarrh, use vicks babyrub, don't mistake this for vaporub pls. Rub little on his feet at night and put on his socks. This help soothes babies and allow them sleep very well at night. Also add one or 2 drops of eucalyptus oil inside his bathing water morning and night and always cover him up very well.
when most babies undergo irritation early in the morning and evenings and they might avoid taking adult food. You can try to give them soft adult food( maybe mashed fish or noodles) in the afternoon or at night. They have mood swing at undermined time of the day, so this is one of those period your baby needs your time and attention most.

pyzdan: Hello mothers, pls is it safe to stop my baby from breastfeeding at 9 mnths? d problem is he doesnt like taking any cereals or milk except adult food and breastmilk but he suddenly stopped taking adult food few days ago. He is 8 mnth old nw. Pls i dnt know what to do. Need ur advice.

he stopped talking adult food because of 'irritation'. This irritation could be in form of body changes or illness. Is he putting his finger into his mouth trying to rub his gums? Does he have temp fluctuations? During cold seasons like this babies tend to pick cold and catarrh quickly and these might cause irritation too. If none of those things I listed aren't happening to him, then take him to ur paed for physical examination

Who the f**k hid my post? Is this going to a revelation of collaboration btw a section MOD and agent to scam pple? Just as was the case of justwise and oga in the dubai thread? Pple were calling for appropriate action to be taken but justwise kept on defending the agent until they both got ashamed and NL was brought to dubai police station!! Seun had to beg everyone to thread with caution afterwards. Its so clear from hiding of post and banning pple that the mod is shielding inspired!! This dude ought to be arrested by bow and case settled in court and damages paid!! How could you tell a client you are on holiday and can't attend to him until u r back!!! What the f**k is that shit?? Mehnn OP, u get patience no be small I swear

Your lawyers ought to be talking to the dealer by now!! Inspired showed no integrity and human compassion,you ought not to show him one too. A dealer who once tried this with me ended up in jail!! Yes you heard me right, spent 23hrs inside cell and I got my cars. He never imagined I could get police involved!!

Betalyf: Well he has replied my mail and promised he is working on it and will be fixed soon.
Thanks all.

chairman didn't I tell u the other time? the dude went to brazil to chop life and will fix ur car at his convenience!! That's how most internet sellers behave, only a tiny fraction are honest. I hope your car is with you..huh?
