She was 4kg at birth

Do your best to see a paediatrician please. They will help with asking you the right questions so as to identify the root cause of not gaining weight as she should.

In the meantime, try and increase the frequency of her feeds.

Cheers Mama.

Good day Mamas, pls come to my aid. My daughter hadn't being adding weight. She's 5months plus but still 6.75kg. She takes breastmilk and SMA Gold. pls help me have being having sleepless nights over this issue.

what was her birth weight? Babies are expected to double their birth weight between 5-6months and triple it by 12months. If this is the case then you need not worry. If not, check with a paed to discuss your fears and you will advised appropriately.

Ha! Just reading and smiling ke instead of digging in. Wasn't it you that was gonna meet another mama under one bridge to fight it out back then . Choi these mamas have all grown boring. This is what childbirth does to people.

My idea about this is that your life was saved only by God's grace and mercy. Your caregiver did not have the expertise required to handle what happened to you during and after labour. She should have done well by referring you to the General Hospital in your locality.

I strongly appeal to you in the name of everything you hold dear, please visit a proper hospital and request to see a gynae so you can be properly checked and assured of your wellbeing.

Good health is priceless.
God bless you and your family.

Ekiti mamas vote wiseĺy and stay safe.

Happy birthday Sansa143. May your dreams come true. Don't give up but be assured of light at the end of the tunnel. Encourage yourself and stay joyful.
Enjoy your new season.

Giddyperson:
True, most times when everyone says it's teething it ends up being teething. Like every time Giddybaby falls sick these days it always ends up being followed by teeth, but doesn't change the fact that the teething usually comes along with infection that might need to be treated.

Reason is their immunity gets low during that period hence the infections.

I was equally bothered at a time cos I expected that if their immune system is well boosted by eating well balanced meals with fruits, they shouldn't have infections.

FloraEC:
Is not fair ooo, nobody wants to answer me. Shebi you people want me to borrow breastmilk and breastfeed my suck suck pikin. Lemme kukuma switch to search button in peace.

rofemiguwa dear, I can still remember you used it for your daughter, please where did you buy it from.

When your location is not in Nigeria nko

Check the popular malls/pharmacies. Another place is those Asian stores e.g Osata supermaket AllenAvenue, Even abokis selling variety of spices in large quantities usually have it.

Enque has a contact if I remember well.

Good Evening Mamas

My baby is two months now has been developing this rash since 2 weeks old. It started just on the forhead and is now on his neck, arms, legs, and back. The doctor thinks it is just heat rash and will go with time. We powder him and only dress him in a shirt and diaper. The apartment is airconditioned.

Have you seen this before? How can we stop it from spreading?

Photos attached

The rashes could be as a result of the soap,oil, or cream etc you rub on his body.

Try and stop what you use presently and observe.

also, be sure to rinse off detergent from his clothes very very very well after washing.

cunley:
Please my baby is a day old and my husband insisted amplicox for the baby but I think amplicox is too strong for a baby...
Please what should I do?

Daddy is your husband a doctor? What do you want to treat with amplicox

Mbliz:
Good evening Sabi mamas.. . Please I noticed my son's eye lid or retina is getting light just the exact way eczema looks. Once there's an eye discharge it peels of the skin some how. We started noticing it around 3 months but the health care personnel I complained to said its nothing to worry about. Although it wasn't obvious then. He just clocked 8 months recently and the stuff is really visible now. So today I took him to eye specialist hospital and was told by the doctor there after few examination that's it's an infection. He gave us an eye drop to use every 4 hours. Please is there anyone with similar experience on lo? What exactly is this? It's really giving us cause to worry. Here's the picture below.

I will advise you check with a dermatologist too apart from the eye specialist.

Cheers

@spiceeamiee you are not alone ma.., that's how I feel these days. I just need help. pls any mama with remedy to the back pain should tell us cos I always have back/waist pain which started since I gave birth.


In other news, my baby's creche is beginning to bring new policies now.. First, they've stopped us from entering the class, I get to drop and pick her outside (no worries here).

Ask for their reasons


They are keen on me feeding baby before bringing her to school and I noticed that if I don't they won't give her till past 9 or 10. There are days I have to leave home early and my baby doesn't like her food rushed. She prefers to wake, play a lil before eating that way she won't be too fussy with food.
Her food today seems like she didn't eat much.

Do your best to feed her before leaving the house even if it is milk. Most creche have meal times that they adhere to. You can speak with the owner of the creche to have special consideration for your daughter as it pertains to breakfast.

Also I was told I'll pay #500 if I'm 30mins late to pick her. Are these the normal way it's done or my own is overdoing it cos I think they need clearing o.

This policy enables parents to be punctual when it comes to picking up. It exists in our creche too but one is considered late after an hour past closing time. Ik is charged. When you are late, it affects the minder that has to wait behind too.

Mamas pls chook mouth

If their policies are not suitable for you, please look for another creche.
Cheers

enque:

Pls what do I apply to 8day old naval to heal faster? Does this picture look like it’s healing as I haven’t applied anything

In recent times, some hospitals advice you not to use anything.

For us, we we were advised to clean with methylated spirit as often as possible.

my stay here us now official mamas.....please mamas help a ftm....my DS had his circumcision done saturday last week and my mum has been taking care of it but i noticed that after applying the engine oil to the fresh wound,he started having rashes all over his buttocks....today i told her to stop using the engine oil then i gave her penicillin to apply now.....My worry is if the penicillin will clear the rash and heal the wound.

What instructions were you given in the hospital to manage the circumcised site?
Pls always avoid unsafe items on your child no matter who is giving the advice.
keep applying the penicillin/ vaseline blue seal on the wound. You can use tribotan/sudocrem for the rash

Bloomingbud:
Good afternoon mamas been battling cough and cold with my 4+ months son, doc prescribed nocof' infant drop and vit.c drop, I used ori and pinch of salt and also try to keep him warm yet the cough and cold has refused to go
What else can I do biko nu?

Just as hunniesuzie said, pls go back to the hospital. It is most likely an infection. It will be treated with antibiotics

beautyuche:
Pls mama help me my 11 weeks old sons scrotum is having patches of yellow or bright colour. Please what does this mean.
I use johnson soap and a mix of kannel oil coconut oil and sheer butter as lotion.

Taking him to d hospital tomorrow but first I am asking so prepare my mind.
Please help

What do you use as nappy cream?
How often do you change his diapers?

Still check with the hospital though I feel you should ensure he gets some nappy free moments and dont allow his diapers to be overly soiled/wet before you change it.

FloraEC:
Good morning mamas. Please where can I buy jumpo ori in Lagos? Any sabi mama should help me out

Congrats on your safe delivery. God bless the little one. Trust you're recovering well.

Check stores/supermarkets selling baby products. They usually stock it.
if you're in Agege, 'Iya Hameerah' stores stock it
If you're in magodo/ikosi/shangisha, check 'super savers supermarket, dem get am

Cheers

kelizosuy:
We are back at the hospital. We didn't sleep well last night. The temperature keeps rising and she has refused to even suck

I strongly feel she should be checked for infections and treated accordingly please. Check if she's trying to cut another tooth too.
it is well with you and Adele

kelizosuy:
OK ma.. Because I just noticed the temperature rising again and its not up to 4hrs that we gave pcm

Pele..she will be fine.
When did you start the malaria treatment? Some babies run temperature till last day of the treatment.
Try not to overdose on pcm/ibuprofen. If her temp spikes in between the doses, use tepid water to mop her body.
hope she's not vomiting again?

Double post

comtem2011:
We experienced this like two times, My only remedy is ori (shea butter) after applying it, I apply agnesia powder. It will just dry up and peeled off. We know longer have it, but i discover it normally comes during heat.

Yeah...it seems to be an after effect of extreme heat periods as I've observed too.
