Please o sabi mamas i just finished eating now but the pepper was too much that i have to finish 1 and half bottle water
I hope it wont hurt my baby or is there something i can do about it now i need suggestions ASAP

It wont hurt your baby. Just be cautious because bodies are different and some foods causes unpleasant triggers. For instance, too much pepper for some people can cause stomach upset.

If you don't have aversion to milk, drink some cold milk to reduce the acidity or heartburn.

Yeah the boils have massively cleared, GBs lost shine is gradually returning. just about 3 remaining to dry up, now im just hoping the marks they left also clears, she even has bald spots on her head.

Thank God. The marks will clear. Just continue to include vegetables in her diet.

Is there such a thing as 6 week check up at the hospital, no one mentioned it both for my first n second baby but i hear people talk about it

Yes, there is oo. It's just to ascertain that you are fine by the doctor and ask questions as it relates to your baby if there is any

And again I saw MMR and chicken pox for 12m n 13m. Does it mean it will be taken again at 13m?

Babe you are Godsent.
I started the pap therapy yesterday night, fed him all through the night. Till now I have not heard the belly sound nor has he pooed whether watery or normal.
He is still under observation but I believe the watery poo has stopped.

Glory to the Almighty God.
Trust he's much better now.

Happy Sunday mommas

Abeg o, help me out
She is 7mobths and she isn't taking anything(rice, beans,pap,ceareals,fruit puree,eba)...just breast milk. And d breast milk doesn't hold her....bikonu suggest something for me

Dont try too many foods at the same time. One at a time for like 3days.

The texture of the food also matters since she's just being introduced.

Have you tried fruit purees such as apple, banana or carrots?

You may also need someone else to feed her apart from you so she learns there are other kinds of foods apart from breastmilk.

Good Afternoon mamas,

Please how do I deal with sore nipples. I'm a first time mum. Baby is just 1wk and 3days old. He sucks alot cheesy grin

Use lasinoh nipple cream. You can get from reputable pharmacies or baby shop.

In the interim, sheabutter provides relief too.

NNE, have you gotten help. Same here ooo. I heard many children are passing through this right now.
My baby have been passing through this and today is the 4th day. Vomiting, watery stool, lack of appetite, fever etc. The watery stool was twice the first day, I wanted to watch it to see if it is actually diarrhea and it continued 2nd day. We started ORT for him that night. He cries heart breaking cries from sleep etc. I added zinc for him in the morning then took him to hospital.
Malaria and full blood count test was conducted and both were positive.
We were told to continue ort and zinc, malaria and antibiotics drug were also added.
I am surprised that he is still stooling. This morning, he has stooled 3 times. I give him ORT after every stool. Some ppl said it is teeth but he didn't pass through this when he grew his first set of teeth at 4months. He is practically living on ORT . He already lost .5kg and now 9kg. The fever has stopped , the vomiting reduced, but I need the stooling to stop asap. The stomach makes noise before the stool.

Try this. Many mamas here have given positive reports about this home remedy courtesy of zayn.ie


for the stool, try the pap remedy.
Half cooked pap mixed with half raw pap. No milk. No sugar. No sweetener, even honey. Give like 3ce a day.
AND/ OR
Unsweetened yoghurt. 
Let's know how it goes.

Giddy baby would just wake up every single night and start wailing.

Biko who can tell me what to do with her.

Try giving warm milk that is if she doesnt slap it out of your hand. Be sure to have the cup in firm grip.

You can also try playing music and dimming the lights.

If you are trying to console her, her head will just be swelling and she will get you pissed. Just endure the noise and allow her to cry. She will stop it soon.

She's most likely adapting to life as an elder sister.

Another angle is to pray for her. It could be that she's restless and not enjoying her dream time.

He doesnt like oats, i have tried several times at home and in creche but he always spits it out. The pineapple should it be blended or in its whole form? Thank you

I usually cut into bit-sized chunks that he can easily pop into his mouth. I only blend when i'm making smoothies for him.
By the way, you can introduce other veggies he wont readily accept to him through smoothies.
I use pineapple or watermelon as the liquid base then add then add like 2 other veggies/fruits.
our usual combinations are
pineapple, cucumber and carrot
watermelon, ugu and banana

URGENT PLEASE!!!!
Hello mummies, please i need help.
My 18 Month old has been having difficulty pooping for a while now. He can go two days without pooping because it is usually hard. He strains, runs around the house and cry before passing it out. It’s becoming worrisome because i give him oranges everyday to ease it but it still comes out really hard and painful.
I’m suspecting cerelac or custard as the culprits but i havent been able to establish it because i have tried to take out these two from his diet but sometimes it comes out hard.
Other foods he takes are potato, noodles, pasta, rice and the likes. We hardly do swallow.
What can i do please? I need a lasting solution asap oo.

Oats or pineapples works for us all the time.
you can buy prunes/plums too.

Good morning mamas, has anyone here ever bought the August secret’s chubby baby cookbook?

My picky eater is giving me grey hair, I need to seek information biko, please is the book worth it, make person no go troway money

P is for picky-eater as P is for patience.
Quite frustrating especially if you don't have enough time.

I dont have the AS cookbook though but I have hundreds of baby/toddler recipes of which i only tried a few before i got tired.

What helped me is getting to know the few foods he really likes and thats what i keep giving. I sometimes sneak in other foods without making it obvious.

He gets to try other foods when i'm eating my own food or i put in his bag for creche. I noticed eating at the creche is fun for him but at home, na to dey run marathon upandan.

Hubby bought a big basket of tomatoes a week b4 i came back. He washed and froze them. I figure it would last us a couple of months and I want to know how best to preserve them. Should i leave them frozen or i should grind b4 freezing or i should grind and boil b4 freezing. Our electricity supply is good enough.

Cc: liftedh..ands, Za..ynie, armorp..rincess, hunnies..uzzie, Jgrac.ious.

ummm..all the methods you mentioned are very ok.

For me, i'm very used to grinding, boiling to reduce water content and then freezing till when i need it.

However, since electricity supply is good in your area, you can leave it just as you met it frozen but portion into freezer bags so you don't have to defrost everything each time you need to use it.

He's 3 months n poos like once in 2 weeks... FtM

There's really no need to visit the hospital because of farting. Check what you eat too. Peradventure you take a lot of beans and the likes, you may need to cut down on gassy foods better still find a balance.

EBF babies can go for days without pooping so no need to worry.


2.he sucks his hand, just started about twon or three weeks ago n I've tried mittens, socks, bitter elaf sef,,, all to no avail,. He removes his mouth from my breast n puts his hand in his mouth... The.brings out all the food he's been eating.. What can I do pls?

My ds did this too while growing. I only scolded him by showing an angry face. He later stopped putting his hands in his mouth to vomit all he had eaten. Try to keep wearing him the mittens hopefully he wont scream the house down like mine.

3.when exposed to breeze or I'm fanning him, he gasps for breath... How can I stop it

i think its a sign that he doesnt like too much exposure to breeze. Avoid fanning him directly.

4,how do I use silver Bird... Caught a cold from crèche.
Use the search button to find steam inhalation for babies as this has been discussed severally. You can also apply drops of the silverbird/olbas oil around the corners of your room so he can inhale it. Avoid applying directly on his skin.

Hi mama,
Please post a picture of the skin texture/appearance.
Your description seems like she has a very dry skin. The hot weather also contributes to it.

Try aveeno baby soap. Giddymama can testify to the soap.
Sheabutter mixed with sudocrem also works BUT some babies react to sudocrem so I advise you to try the aveeno soap.

Chei! So sorry o mama. Hope he did not crash on his head. Crashing on the head can cause brain injury without external wound. Few babies who crashed with their head end up with seizure disorders long after the accident. It is easy to forget the cause after several years of the incident. And this is very difficult to treat by conventional methods.
If one does not want to take a chance of 'waite and see' then it is better to throw a few coins in the dustbin than spending endlessly for a frustrating condition that does not go away.
Preemptive hyperbaric oxygen therapy (hbot) is the only solution.
Preemptive hbot will also work for babies who have also suffered from perinatal birth asfixia, prematurity, low birth weight, jaundiced babies, hypoxic anoxic encephalopathy, cerebral palsy and brain damage.

Haba!

Happy New Year mamas,
Pls is there immunization for six months because it was not written in my baby's card.

Yes. Vitamin A and it is administered orally.

In addition, your baby should take vitamin A every six months so you would be taking another dose at 12months, 18months, 2yrs....till age 3.
