A big thanks to everybody that gave me different suggestions and also to the mamas that reached out to me privately Liftedhands, yseries and others, May God bless you richly.

It was and it came back negative. We are back at the hospital. 7 diaper change just today. My baby is vanishing before my eyes and i can't do nothing about it. So sick and tired of this

Pele...I understand your plight at the moment.
Stay positive and calm your fears.
Your baby won't vanish before your eyes.
I pray for you and your baby to receive strength and perfect healing in her body. Everything lost as a result of the illness shall be restored.
God bless and keep you all.

spiceeamiee:
Already got bananas. Heading home now. I have Gerber supported sitter. Will try that too. I'm not eating anything different. Still my regular home cooked meal. Yes they did both stool analysis and blood test.

e ku itoju.
If malaria test wasn't carried out. I urge you to go back to the hospital.
When my DS experienced this kind of pooping, the stool test was ok but he tested +ve to malaria. the malaria was treated and the pooping stopped like 1wk after.
keep breastfeeding, don't stop the zinc/ors and stay positive.
The experience is energy draining I must say.
Your LO will be fine.

MamaDG:
OK I'll check when next I go to Ikeja mall. Thanks

Prunes are very plenty in ikeja mall. If you want the real fruit, it's the same as dried plums. You will find the one in jars in the baby food aisle.

Eminya:
Please how many mls should I give my baby. It was the suspension I got and tomorrow is our 6 weeks immunization.
cc:spiceeamie alphahandmaiden onegai Zaynie and all sabi mama's

I started using Calpol after 12wks. Prior to that, I was using Panda.

From their site (https://www.calpol.co.uk/our-products/calpol-infant-suspension) one is advised not to give babies under 2months of age without consulting a doctor.
Ask the doctor at the hospital when you go for immunisation to advise you on appropriate dosage considering your babie's age and weight.

Enjoy.

Giddyperson:
These people that are looking for fight, when the fight finally comes, it would come with tornado . Ijebu mamas that are looking for how to photocopy August secrets book, please let us not use piracy to spoil the woman's hustle. If you can afford it, buy, if you can't biko search the thread and nl as a whole, there's more than enough recipes for babies and toddlers

Giddymama issa prophetess. The tornado landed today... and according to kelizosuy, we withstood it!

There are software that reveals page mentions anywhere on Internet if you have it installed not necessarily anyone sending a screenshot and in this age of social media and customers, you can expect her to have managers here since the business caters to nursing mothers.

Reading through those comments on IG really hurts sha knowing what transpired was not truthfully reported.

If you run a business here,endeavour to look at criticism as a means of feedback to understand what you may be missing out in serving your market.

I wish the owner of Nairaland (Seun) can do some modifications on this site so that similar issues under each topic can be grouped which makes searching easier for people to navigate.

In Hunniesuzie's voice Na wa!

stephmiracle:
Okay ma. Thanks for your contribution but I don't know where to get the acalypha flower oh

The acalypha flower is a very common plant. Some people plant it to decorate the front of their houses. I'm quite sure you must have seen it before only you didn't know the name of the plant and it's medicinal uses.
Ask around or you can buy from the herb sellers.
Google for red acalypha images so you have more views of what it looks like.

stephmiracle:
Mamas good evening. Please my son has NLA. I don't know the name in English oh. But just understand that its that stuff that peels the skin of a child and makes it look redish especially areas like his private part and his armpit. Please what measures do you suggest I take?. I have been rubbing him all this antifungal, antibacterial and antiinflammatory(Triple action) creams like Skineal but the thing still dey there but I guess it just made the stuff not be peppering him so much cos he doesn't cry when you touch the affected areas

Please stop applying skineal on your son's skin. It does more harm than good.

look for the red acalypha flower. Boil the leaves and mix the water with your son's bath water.

I'll tag you once I see a pic of the flower again. mamas have dealt with this issue severally.

enque:
Here it is
Don't forget to check expiry dates before u buy

Thank you so much.
Enjoy your evening.

enque:
sma gold _{is a hit back to back}

Hi Enque,
Hope your day went well? Please I will appreciate a picture of your sma gold tin. I saw 2 kinds in the store and became unsure of which one to pick.
Thank you.

Moaba:
It was a battle today. Ds totally rejected the bottle. He kept using his tongue to push it out. I'll keep trying tho

if you tried feeding him with the bottle by yourself, try and let someone else do it tomorrow. You will also need to be where he can't see you while he's being fed.
This is because babies are quite sensitive and may be able to perceive your smell hence refuse the bottle.

Keep trying and don't give it up yet.

olorimorenike:
mamas please help me I'm loosing it, my baby is yet to latch on my breast at first I thought my nipple was too big for his mouth but when he was born but he is two weeks today and yet anytime I put him to suck ,I'm sad please just advice me,im so down since midnight

Please stop telling yourself that you have failed as a Mother. This is just the beginning of journey in motherhood and there's still plenty work ahead of you.

The paramount thing about taking care of a newborn baby is for the child to be healthy, happy and active.

Yes, it is true that mothers are encouraged to EBF but don't get it twisted when it isn't working for you. Thank God for the alternative of formula milk which works well in providing nourishment to babies. Maximise its use and be comfortable with it if that's what is working for you and your baby.

Again, you are not a failure. You are the best mother your child can have. Be in the right frame of mind to be able to give your child the needed support.

Oya, shine your teeth

hunniesuzie:
I laughed out loud @ the bolded. Thanks for the response, makes sense now. Lol JGracious thank God I didn't "waka come" alone, also you mix Formula with hot water but not boiling hot

No be only you waka come...
Thanks for epping me to learn something new. Hot and boiling hot are 2 different things. Ese ma.

hunniesuzie:
Sorry oh, this may be a stupid question but I've always thought of it, why do you need a flask to be hot for 24 hours? Me I change my water every morning (5am) and breastfeed all night so the last time I use flask water is about 7pm...that's about 14 hours

Is it me that is doing oversabi or keeping hot water for a day is a thing?

Just like me, I also realise I don't need the hot water in the flask for 24hrs. Once the water has lost its steam, I jejely use the water as cooled boiled water for ds drinking and mixing formula.

Mixing formula shouldn't be with hot water so as to preserve the live cultures as I read on the formula can.

I join you to ask sabi Mamas what other uses 24hrs hot water is used for?

Hi everyone pls come to my aid, my 6months old baby is having NLA,

Have you tried using the red acalypha leaves. If you haven't, get the leaves, it s a common plant around a lot of houses. Boil the leaves and mix the water with her bathing water.


I attached a picture of the leaf

Morning mamas, My baby is about to be circumcised at 1 month old. please I need to know how this modern circumcision thing works. Does it come with fever? How long does the healing process takes. (God please I can't stand him going through another pain.)

It is usually advised that you get to the hospital early enough.
Get your paracetamol ready (I advise Calpol brand) because the pain is very very real. Me I kuku cried when I couldn't bear his screams.
The doctor/nurses will advise on how to care for the site afterwards.
The cap came off the 3rd day after the circumcision and we started applying penicillin ointment.

The thought of another boy scares me too whenever I remember the circumcision event. I already feel teary sef...
Don't worry, its part of the motherhood package, y'all will be fine.

Taymi:
Hello mummys and daddy's. I've bookmarked this topic since I was pregnant. So welcome me to the club, my baby will be 6weeks on Sunday "dancing"
Need help, (1) He doesn't sleep at night, even when he does, he wakes up at every 1hr , What could be the cause? (2) He likes to be carried / rocked, he wants to sleep on your chest / arms, is there anything I can do to make him sleep on his bed (3) Want to introduce formula as I will start work by Nov, which one can you suggest?

In addition to what other mamas have said, some babies don't like noise so watch out for whatever that distracts him when he's trying to sleep. You can also dim the lights if the room is too bright.
Train him to lay on the bed and gently pat him on the back till he sleeps off.
