Wait till she's hungry before offering her a bottle.
Let someone else also feed with bottle and try to step outside the environment she may accept it.
Some children move straight to spoon and bowl. Explore that too

I've tried the hungry before bottle approach, she no gree. I'll try the spoon method and give feedback. Thanks

@keji3, I didn't notice the bcg scar on my baby till he was 4 months. I think u should chill for some time, other mammas can add sha.
I never won bottle feeding with my baby as well, I just started spoon feeding him with the formula and he took spoon better than the bottle. Spoon may be slow though just be patient.

Ok thanks i appreciate, i'll chill out on the bcg. Waoh spoon feeding formula well i'll try that out today. This babe is so starting cereal next month so help me God

Good morning house, pls my LO took the bcg vaccine 12 days after birth and up till now she does not have the scar to show for it(she will be 3 months old tomorrow). Do i need to go back to the hospital to complain or its normal for some people not to have the scar.
Abeg also i need methods to get my baby to take bottle o, i've been on that now for a week and i'm no way winning. Resumption back to work is knocking on my door and i'm scared of starting creche for her. Thanks peeps

It's entirely up to you and of course dependent on the weather at the time of bathing!

You feel the water on your own body/skin first and can intuitively tell if it won't cause the child to catch a cold.....

Thanks sis

Good morning great mothers....pls when can i stop bathing my baby with warm water and start using room temperature water? Thank y'all

RashMe:
Mama, my baby was like that too. d standing fan doesnt rotate, it faces her but not directly into d face (stomach level downward) i still put a shawl over her ans she has her cap on. Hope dis helps

Thanks ma'am God bless our LOs

OmogeNG:


Even person wey no dey sweat a lot go sweat for Naija, if fan or ac is not on.

Can you afford an air cooler?

If you can't, you can buy a rotating standing fan. ceiling fans are notorious for causing congested noses.

Thanks for ur prompt reply. We use rotating standing fan o. I'll try air cooler as soon as i can

Good morning mothers, pls my 2 months plus old baby sweats alot so much that i have to change her clothes like twice before day break and i stopped using the fan cos she wakes up with congested nose. Is there something else i can do to keep her cool? P.S she sleeps in the lightest onesies. Thanks

IMO You can use the baby carrier. I started using it for my babies from 9 days old.

Thanks jare, i've brought it out to use.

Onegai:

Depends on the type of carrier. Baby Bjorn tends to leave the hips unsupported a bit (but there's no actual indication that it is an unsafe carrier). I have that one but Baby E was too small for it so I got a Baby K'tan (it is basically like t-shirt stretch material and works like backing your baby but in more styles). The hips are better supported there as the child is in sitting position.

Thanks much appreciated

Thanks jare @Nita2013.....i don bring out the carrier ready to work

missmalachi:


Its not inverted but not dat big.milk has started coming out gradually just dat baby can not hold on to d nipple so we both struggle.

Dont worry urself too much, the more she try the better remember she's also new to this. By the end of today or tomorrow u'll tell a better story. Enjoy

missmalachi:
Good evening mothers, I just ported to this thread,had my Lo yday.
My challenge is my nipple is not big enough for baby to grab.what can I do to ensure baby feeding well.

Congrats God bless your LO. Is the nipple inverted and has ur milk come in? My nipple felt as if it was not big enuf before my milk came out but once my baby felt the milk, she grabbed on the nipple well and fed now the nipple is bigger than when i first gave birth. If its inverted nipple, the nurses can help pull it out a bit but its very painful i did it on one breast in the hospital when i thought it was inverted but could not stand to go thru the pain for the second breast. Be patient, it will all work out soon.

Beryl15:

using a baby carrier has nothing to do with bow legs. My baby is almost 4weeks and I started using one at 2weeks. + this is #2

Thanks mama, you know our mothers with old wives tales lolz.

shndy:

Any specific store pls? Cos Av checked a lot

You'll get at shoprite or if u stay close to where there's justrite, they also have the non salted oldenburger i still bought on monday.

shndy:

Never heard of the bow leg part , I used a carrier for my baby at 4wks sha

Thanks sis, i guess i can start using a carrier then

Good day mamas. Please when can i start using a baby carrier my baby is 8 weeks old, my mum is insisting on not using at all so as to avoid bow legs would appreciate ur inputs.
Also please i need creche around agidingbi,alausa or ogba anyone with good personal recommendation i would appreciate i'm resuming soon and need to pick as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.

ifefunmi:

You are welcome sis, glad I could help. But I will advise you come very early on ur immunization days cos there is always a lot of people around. As regards postpartum spotting, I really don't know but I'll advise u see a doctor.Don't be scared, you are fine!

Thanks i appreciate, will make sure i get there as early as possible on monday.

Good evening dear people. Thank you so much @ifefunmi, i was at hamkad yesterday, i was able to make my findings and register my baby there so will use there for her from now for her medicals and immunisations its way cheaper than the hospital i was using before.
Pls dear mothers, i want to introduce formula to my baby soon pls what are the things i should look out for in a good formula product. Also is it normal to still be having lil postpartum spotting after 7 weeks i'm getting scared its taking too long. Thanks people

Thanks will check there out and give feedback.

ifefunmi:

I use Hamkad hospital at U-turn abule egba. Rotavirus is 7k and PCV is 6k5. Rotavirus is 2 doses while pneumococcal is about 4 doses(not sure).

Thanks U-turn is close to me, i'll check the place out. Pls do they has a resident pediatrician there abi u see different types of doctors every time u go there cos dats the problem i have with my present hospital u dont get to see a specialist.

opeasho:


About the itchy tips no idea, experienced mum's will help handle that.

We got the 2 injections today on special request @ LASUTH for N14,400. Was told Rota is just 2 doses while the other is 3 while the others are free. I have no regrets for going that far all the way from Igando. Service delivery was superb.
Now nursing high temperature and a very cranky baby, after 1 injection each on both legs.

Thanks ma'am.....chai i hope the queue at lasuth was not too much? I'm sure you LO will feel better in no time welldone mama.

lovinam:
Chai! PCV is free in many states o! FREE! Pls go to govt hospital and make find out

I'm not sure its free anywhere in an govt hospital in lagos o, but will ask more around sha thanks ma'am.

Good day sabi people. Pls has anybody experienced itchy nipples while breastfeeding? My left nipples has been feeling dat way for days now. Rotavirus and pcv is 10k each in my hospital and we are to take it at 3 different times abeg i wont mind any hospital around Abule egba, ijaye, agege area that has cheaper prices for these two immunisations. Thanks

Your LO is colicky just like most infants. Do you use hot compress on her tummy?? You can also use your finger tips to gently massage below her belly button in a circular motion. This will help release the gas stuck in her stomach and also help her poop.

Orange juice is a NO..NO unless approved by your paediatrician.

Yes i do the hot compress, i'll also try the gentle massage i appreciate

Thanks @temmy2103 and @onegai its the she strains dat got me desperate, i guess i'll wait it out and take the fruits myself.

babythug:


Squeeze out some orange juice and give her please. Just a few spoons should help her poo asap! Then also check your diet and try to eat stuff that will ease digestion veggies and fruits and so on!

Good luck

Thanks mama i'll try jst dat.

completey:

Its a phase, she will outgrow it. About the poo are you EBF? Pls watch your diet. Take orange and eat foods with high fiber content.

Thanks ma'am yes she's EBF. I'll get orange today.
