ginababy:


Tnx dearie. I will do just that. His act of vomiting tru his nose n mouth is giving us serious heartbeat. He becomes so restless n breathless wen it happens. Kai! Motherhood no b for children.

Kpele, for that vomiting, have you tried feeding in shorter bursts, e.g when eating 60 ml, stop at 30ml, burp, at 50ml burp, finish the food burp again.or while breastfeeding, Stop every 5mins & burp. Its tasking but it may help. Also try feeding him upright (hold him in a sitting position as against lying flat on your arms ), that's what my sister who experienced d same thing did. HTH

ginababy:


Tnx swthrt. We r currently on SMA gold n baby Faithful is showing interest.

Alright, let him take sma for at least a week b4 you look for improvement.
My last baby does a lot of spitups (vomit is light & milky, spitups are more like yoghurt& curds). Sometimes more than half of what she just ate. Yet, she was twice her birth weight as at 14wks immunization. I'm just saying, be patient, babies don't become orobos in a week! ( I should know)

ginababy:


Tnx dearie. Dh has been the one changing dem ooo. Today he will buy dis tomorrow is another. I have lyk 3 unfinished brands due to Dh not satisfied with d out come. Bt I sha don stop am ooo he shudnt kiam n kill my ds.

I had to come out of ghost mode to ask: What exactly are you looking for in a formular? You cannot tell if a particular brand has achieved the desired result in less than 3 days. Discuss with your hubby then come to table your requirements, Mamas should be able to suggest a formula that meets his needs,
Your baby's needs, not your hubby

Zaynie, I just want to say I've got madt love for you Babe (no homo)

#epicrant #muchneededadvice.

Pls, share this advice in the other thread before those FTMs come here and you need to repeat yourself.


Again

Tnks mammy,I thought as much.. Gudmawny to u ma

Meanwhile I drank coconut water and chewed coconut to boost milk production! Different old wives tales everywhere in this our country!!!

rezzy:

Ahnie, thanks for the health tips. About the cleaning of the tips before breastfeeding, if one is not at home, how do one go about the cleaning?

Ginababy, rezzy & ahnie and other mamas & mamas-to-be, apart from your usual bath in the mornings & evenings, there is no need to wash your breasts before breastfeeding your baby. Infact, unless you have a thrush (yeast) infection, Drs encourage breastfeeding & skin to skin contact because the natural bacteria on your body and boobs help your baby develop his/her own antibodies/immune system. Do not use wipes! They are treated with chemicals which is worse off for your baby than your sweat.

^^^ everyone was probably waiting for the medical experts to answer you. Remember there are a lot of FTM ums on this forum who cannot answer your questions never having experienced such. I had to ask my in-house Dr your question and he said not hing to worry about. Elective CS is different from emergency CS. Lots of mums bounce back from CS within a few hrs. Even going thru this thread, you will find a lot of mothers who had CS - both elective and emergency and they are here, gisting with us within a few days. Remember the most important thing: baby alive, mum alive, daddy alive, plenty of money!!

Upeople just ignore me.

He is doing fine ma'am except the itching gum that is getting severe everyday. Infact my nipples is suffering and hurt so much now. His fingers is always in his mouth (very embarassing). If e get tired of his own,e wil put mine.If i remove it,na war.e would be scratching and be hearing the sound. I got him percifier bt e didnt like it. No stooling,no fever but He spit alot. I've started using pican for him 2 days ago. I pray i see improvement. He is 4 months today.

Please stop giving piccan. Teething doesn't need drugs. Besides, the teeth may not come out for another 4 months. You can't keep drugging him for that long. My kids start drooling and scratching by 3 months but the teeth comes as from 9 months. Get teething toys for him - colourful water or gel filled toys shaped like hand or fruits. Refrigerate and giv to him when it's cool, the cold will soothe his gums and d roughness will help him with the scratching.

MaureenSylvia, no dulling class captain! Since your teamies didn't provide us with Valentine baby, you go house go bring one! Congratulations to your sister!!! May the baby be a source of love & pride to her family

abg how much do they charge for VB and CS for group christian medical

VB is about 50 - 100k, CS is about 200-300. These are 2014 prices. Not sure what they charge now.
(PS: my husband's HMO paid for my delivery. I just asked for prices when I registered just in case the HMO doesn't cover the amount.)

Jennifer89:

OK na, I use group Christian medical inside Mosheshe estate, airport road. They are not as pricey as the other big names and they have consultant gyne & paed. I used Regal hospital along Jakpa rd for my first ANC but I no born there so I can't tell how their delivery techniques be. I go still ask ppl sha! because, I no de comot 4 my yard, so I'm not too familiar with the town.

imnuflawal:
Hello mamas in d aus, pls advise on dis, i jst introduced dis Gerber lil bit food to my 9 mnth baby girl, d one with oatmeal nd apple flavor with complan milk

Why feed a 9month old with complan She should still be on infant formula. That's probably the major cause of her stooling ish.
Read the nutritional info and compare it to that of infant milk & even ordinary whole milk.
My 3 year old started taking complan when she was ill & I noticed it has changed the composition of her poo, so I stopped it.
Pls mothers, complan is not for toddlers or infants!!! It's boldly written on the can!!!

tatacherie:
Gudevening mamas,compliments of d season all.
Pls help! I just had a cool session of bfeeding dh now my stomach is going hard @ 10 mins interval with mild menstrual like pains,trying to sleep it over since its bearable but for where...am just 37 weeks gone

It may be braxton hicks, since its still bearable. Just watch the intensity. (Hope UBTH no far from you). Just in case baby doesn't want to wait till 2016, keep your bag by the door .... It shall end in praise.

My Z-girl is one!!! The sabi girl that started eating chicken and running from mummy at 8 months is officially a toddler! This time last year, I showed you to your big sis & she screwed up her face, now you are besties!!! Shine on my strong Isoko woman! The world is your playground!!!

Hi stadora, Ori is shea butter, while Elaa is a kind of infantile eczema.

My 10 months old hates formula. But we made do with breastfeeding for hours morning & evening. But now she is teething & has gone off breastmilk completely for about a week know, forcing me to wean myself. Can i introduce plain milk? I mean Nido, peak 123 is too sugary for our taste. She already eats custard with plain Nido whenever big sis is eating.
(She eats solids & cerelac well.)

@proudmum, for the immunization, you got only penta & opv. Rota & pneumococal are not free in Edo. Check your baby's card. (Used same hospital b4).

As for the change in eating habits, my kids always go off food after immunization. Try feeding when he is sleepy, that way, reflex action kicks in & he may suck for longer, still continue with the spoon feeding sha. This shouldn't last more than a week/10 days tops.

igb400:


Just got it from Tivo recently...but I feel it's too sweet oh.

Yes, I feel the same, so I mix it with Unsweeteened yoghurt or soya meal. This reduces the sweetness and she only eats it twice a day.

Please, who has used this cereal (NUTRILAC). I want to verify the availability before commiting to it (as a replacement for cerelac). Found it in a supermarket in Warri. About half the price of cerelac.

She kept to the rules: busy vs plain keeping her hair & makeup simple brought out the bold statement her clothes make. Remember she is a teenager. She is allowed to mix and match bold statements. We don old so we would have preferred pastel colours

LOL @ Kidnap victim. Kcee looks less horrible than Meek. I have nothing else to say!!!

Okay, sorry for the delay, I'm back & its FASHION POLICE TIME. I read about the his girl online, African-American girl made her own prom dress.

I LOVE thee dress but the cleavage is too much for her age abeg, almost ruinned the look & d pride I felt seeing her

Let's start off the African print/wears! BRB! Let me look for craazy styles.

The bust area is illfitting. If the breastubewas pulled up a little more, & a better silluette (maybe peplum) was sewn for the waist/hip, the dress would have been a knockout.

if i know this guy, i will raid his closet & take that shirt & trench. Tres feminique. I just dont appreciate the look. He's working too hard to look metrosexual

Hello joywendy, I'm here oh, just awaiting verdict.
Congrats mitchyy, welcome to the land of milk & honey.
Where is onegig? We need a male opinion before the verdict.

This is British (I think) singer Rita Ora.

Hair & makeup are okay, the boots go with the hem of the skirt, and nicely put together.

However, the unbuttoned shirt is a No-no for me. 4/10

A fitted, properly buttoned shirt would have taken this from trashy to Classy.
If she still wanted to show off her boobs (I dunno why they feel they must) , the KimK method of sheer tops would have 10/10 nailed the look.

Toke's pants are ill-fitting or badly sewn. Tina killed it. Especially with the touch of black
