cutiereborn: @ mitchyy, I had CS too, and after the stay at the hospital for 5days which they nurses always used cotton wool soaked in ink (gv) to clean (swipe) the incision site once, I was asked to use cotton wool soaked in metholaythed spirit to swipe. After 2weeks, the stitches were remove and I was asked to continue until it healed properly. No bathing properly or rubbing the site though. Luckily enough, I didn't feel any pain at the site when I cleaned it and it healed properly & fast. Right now, the site is barely visible. I guess it depends on the type of stitch and hospital. Yeah, you're right. I'm sure doctors have their different recommendations. |

limsycutey: I LOVE LOVE dogs, I think they are the best. They are so smart, loving and loyal. I used to entertain thoughts of getting one until we went to visit DH's boss when I was pregnant with my first. Her daughter has one of these furry little dogs. he was hanging around their dining area and I could smell it, dunno if its dog smell was really strong cos it needed a bath or my preggie nose was working on overdrive but the smell made me sick to my stomach, I couldn't really eat the food infront of me, I was just praying not to throwup. Thankfully, their steward came to take it for its evening walk a few minutes later. Now i'm ok with admiring them from afar Lol. Dogs are actually the best! There's a never a dull moment with them. I had to send my Elmo to be with my kid bro for a while when Hansel arrived, cus i can't keep him outside. And he doesn't like sleeping anywhere else besides the side of our bed. I miss this dude already. He was my faithful roommate before i got married. My Elmo even understands signs i make with my face. But both families dragged my ear about him staying in the house when Hansel arrives. Deyve probably heard too many horror stories of dogs biting babies. Maybe when we move to a bigger apartment, he'll come back  Pic: Elmo spying on the vet as he prepares his injections. Elmo hates vets. Lol

enque: ok, so after BM started flowing, did u switch to exclusive or u still substitute with formula? I switched to EBF. At first it wasn't easy to cope because of inexperience. I even complained here that i want to dodge and give my baby formula cus EBF was stressful, but mil didnt let me. Eventually, i got the hang of it and its been manageable. Once you introduce anything at all besides the breastmilk ure giving your baby in the course of doing EBF, then its no longer EBF as mun fortius has explained. |

enque: Hey Mamas,
So i have been seeing a lot of discussions on EBF and a question came to my mind.
What if a mama has made plans on doing EBF say for 3 or 6 months, and for some reasons her BM doesn't start flowing immediately after birth and the baby has to be formula-fed pending when BM starts flowing. Can she stop the formula and start the EBF when BM starts flowing, or it doesnt count as EBF anymore because she had to do the formula feeding previously?
cc. zaynie , alphahandmaiden , fortius , mitchyy , enkaydewdrop , Liftedhands and all other sabi mamas.
Thanks  Its still possible to do EBF even if your BM doesnt start flowing immediately. I bet most mamas here, their BM didnt start flowing that very first day and they gave either formula or water, pending when it flows. It happens especially in cases where the baby was born via CS. Infact, formula is part of the things written on my hospital list, just incase your BM doesn't start flowing immediately. In my case, i couldnt sit up for the first 24hours so there was no way i could have fed my baby. So he started with formula, until BM started flowing the next day. |

helovesme: Do not forget that this friend wasn't indoors at home/in a familiar environment. She was in your "mum's shop" and she's probably inexperienced and this is where your mum should have come in (if she was allowed to do so). She should have either carried the baby and comforted or tell the lady where to get bottled water. I'm guessing your mum decided not to do so since the lady and the baby are total strangers and these days where one can't trust anybody, I won't advice my mum or any mum to touch, hold or comfort a stranger's baby.
I hope your mum seriously tongue lashed the baby's mother though. My mum usually intervenes o but i'm sure she was either busy with customers or the friend didn't give her the chance to. The girl didnt bother asking where dey sell bottled water. She just called those pple hawking pure water and bought it. The baby was even rejecting the water and she was still forcing him to take. There was a young girl who was crying profusely while trying to soothe her baby as she buying something at my mum's shop. My mum asked her what the problem is and she said her baby has been crying for an hour uncontrollably and she doesnt know what to do anymore. My mum carried the baby from her, changed his clothing to sth lighter, massaged his tummy a little and in minutes, the child slept off. But i've even tell her to stop helping strangers with their babies before wahala go happen one day and it'll be on her head. |

Pls take care of ur self o. regards to baby Hansel and grandma. The owner of the baby abi? Her own na another case. Assuming anything happen to her baby in her absence, market pple for beat shege out of her. You can't be doing EBF and leave your baby without expressed milk. |

helovesme: I do not think the friend has done anything wrong here.
Why would a responsible mother leave her EBF fed baby without making arrangements on what the baby will drink whilst she is away? No formula, no expressed milk, no water. Did she leave instructions on what the baby should be given just incase the baby became hungry/cranky? In fact, she should be punished for child abandonment.
Babies do not have an alarm clock to indicate when they are hungry or thirsty. Babies can get hungry at anytime.
The friend had no choice but to do what she did as the baby was clearly hungry or thirsty. Better to give her water than to leave her crying herself into a fit or till she chokes on her tears.
The only thing she should have done differently was maybe give her nestle water rather than sachet water. The wrong the friend did is giving an EBF baby water. Not just any water, satchet water abi pure water. It just didnt feel right sis. I"m sure she isnt experienced with babies else she could have checked to see if there was anything else making the baby cry. Probably a wet diaper, heat or so on. That's why i think its best to watch who you give your baby to |

So I don't know when labour starts naturally Cc Zaynie liftedhands fortius and all the experienced mamas Hospital please.

Please mamas, let's be careful who we hand our babies to. A lady left her 2months old baby with a friend at my mum's shop. She went into the market to buy some stuff. After she left, her baby started crying uncontrollably and the baby is on EBF(exclusive breast feeding). The friend couldn't endure the baby's cries anymore and guess what she did?
She bought satchet water, opened it and started giving the 2months old baby.
My mum tried to intervene but the friend said she is tired of the cries and the water wont kill the baby. I dont think the lady values her friend's baby at all. It was so surprising |
