Since her mouth is closed then it won't be that difficult na. My son's mouth was virtually oppened tru out. It's not easy to just watch so I can imagine. But don't worry it will pass.

mytestimony:

Thanks have started the vit C. I know how I feel when having cattarh so I can imagine a baby. Tho her mouth is usually closed

Sorry dear, d lord I ur strength. Pls try nd give d drugs separately. Although d cold might be causing d vomiting coss d catarrh is in d throat thereby irritating anything that tries to pass it. I kno vit c is daily so when it's time to administer it, u can give paracetamol 1st and give vit c like 30mins later. Also try to be putting little drops into their mouth until it finishes (I mean d dosage). I use capol paracetamol cos I notice it's sweet unlike emzor. I use syringe applicator as against d cup that come with most medicine. Don't worry they ll be fine by God's grace




uote author=sayoberry post=34582671]The twins have a cold, and a cough, had OPV2 and DPT2 yesterdya and has been throwing up since morning. DS is really hot, DD can't breathe well cos of d cold. They threw all d vit.c and paracetamol. I'm using damp towel on DS head. I'm stressed [/quote]

I guess it's the weather. My son had catarrh and cough for 2weeks + it was not easy for him. I give him vit C daily, I used eucalyptus oil inside water for him to inhale but no improvement. I took him to see a paediatrician, a full blood count test was done and nothing was wrong with him. D paediatrician told me not to give anything aside d vit c and that his immune system is suppose to fight it and I should be patient. He also prescribed Otrivine nasal drops and cough syrup. I used both for 7days and stopped. D catarrh lingered on for 2weeks and left on its own. It wasn't easy watching him breath tru his mouth but I followed d docs advice.

mytestimony:
Pls my princess has cattarh. What do I do. Am tired of ppl nt having common sense. U hv cattarh nd u keep coming to d house where der is a baby. U hv cattarh u want to carry baby. Ppl in this country shld try nd hv small sense now. If u refuse to allow dem carry baby u don turn enemy. Gaskiya I de vex.
Pls wat can I do for her o.

My son wasn't chubby too but has large bones thus he has high weight. Pls do not let anyone make u feel bad. U are doin a fantastic job. Nobody can take care of your baby like u.


uote author=confun post=34577790]thank u my sister, but actually if you look at him, you won't believe his weight when you see him, i think his bone made most of the weight because he has strong bones, someone saw him yestaday and said I didn't feed him enough because of his statue, I felt bad[/quote]

Hello dear, that's bcg spot. We were told in d hospital not to do anything to d bcg spot no matter what happens except there is pus comin out. That clean it lightly with a tissue or cotton wool and flush d cotton wool/tissue. Wash ur hands afterwards. Anything other than that do no do anything. If it's not makin ur baby uncomfortable then let it be dear.

bu:
Dear Mamas, please my baby's shoulder is swollen, I didn't know I wasn't supposed to massage it after immunisation, I have been applying shea butter but no difference ,please what should I do?

Hi dear, like tchiwinnie said it's colic. He will outgrow it by 3months atmost. But u ll av to be patient. Some pple might advice u give colicky gripe water to help but if u can be patient enough he ll soon outgrow it


[quote author=imurboss post=34602064]Good evening mamas, how are we & los,hope they're cooperating ,may God be with us all.

Please mamas, i have observed my six wks old son and i discovered that when breastfeeding or formular feeding him he makes some kind kind of queer noise,then stretches his body & cry as if in pains then discontinue feeding,then resumes feeding

Hello dear, pls tell ur SIL not all babiesss crawl as it's not even a milestone for babies. He may not even crawl at all b4 standing. My son did not crawl b4 standing. Some kids use their tummy for crawlin so it depends.

Mamabigboy:
Hello buriful mamas, how are we and our LO doing? Pls I av a question to ask on behalf of my SIL, she called to complain that her DS of almostt 6 months refuses to crawl on his 4, instead he lies flat on his chest wen put down to crawl(snake style). She is worried if the baby will b able to crawl like normal children do. Pls what can she do to make him crawl, stand up and walk normally? Thanks

Hello dear. Pls send preparation of d Soya. I bought from d market since and its been starring at me because d pattern of roasting a friend told me is a long thing.

Chai!!! My Oga Tvegas. U for come be my learned friend naa. Hahahahaah


[quote author=Tvegas post=33922040]

@Poster,The bolded is false. And you should stop making authoritative statements on topics you haven't fully researched. You are already sounding like a supreme court judge here,yet this is actually a matter that the supreme court has not RULED on because no litigant has followed through with it. Those who wanted to argue it in court against Mccain even pulled back because its a futile exercise.

For teething it differs. Btw 3months to 10months.

For crawlin not all babies crawl example is my son. He didn't crawl b4 standing and my MIL said my hubby did likewise. I also read crawling is not a milestone

Gr8fulHeart:
Franky, ur daughter is cute and looks takeaway. Weldone mama.
Other mamas una welldone, pls I nid to sample opinions. At wat average month range do babies bring out teeth and also crawl. Nid answers from mamas who hv been der

Yes in MIHS u av d option of payin cash or card

Happymum:
Hi everyone. Please I need urgent help from phoenix mum's. I am wondering if it will be possible to pay my hospital bills with my master card and if there will be extra charges. I am due to arrive next month and with the current 222 to a dollar, I am thinking of buying from fcmb@200 for my mum,my husband and I then putting naira in my card for the hospital bill.
Thanks

Hurray! Happy birthday to ur damsel. Sshe will continue to make u smile in Jesus name.

Hahahahahaha I feel u joor. Bought one tin and my son that has never rejected any food was cryin while I fed him with nutrend. I threw it away without batting an eye lid. Lol

U even tried sef by waiting for d tin to finish. Mine didn't get to half and to d dustbin it went.

MumZ:
Pls whoever knows anyone dat knows anyone dat knows anyone dat works in Nestle, shld tell dem 2 pls improve d taste of Nutrend. It tastes like shaft. I always force my lo 2 take it, but wen I tasted it, I regretted buying it. Wen I give her friso gold, she takes it without stress bt wen it comes 2 d nutrend, na war. I'm switching 2 cerelac once dis tin finish. Sorry 4 d ranting.

Shelly that depends on d airline I guess. With emirates I bought a one way ticket for my baby at $50. And he had only naija visa.

shelly23:
They won't even let you buy one way since your baby doesn't have a Nigerian passport, only a Nigerian tourist visa. Buy the return and get a refund for the return leg when you get home. That's what Delta advised me to do.

Honestly I needed that layover on our way back cos it paid off. After 14hrs flight to dubai, we had time to rest, eat well, freshen up. But goin our transit time was less than 3hrs.

segbas:
Whites...
I said over 2 years ago...
I dont knw their policy now. And I have not been flying them lately....
but mind you... no flight is free... your baby will either pay for a service or the other. My wife flew Emirate with our eight months old girl in April 2013. She had her own bad and 7kg hand luggage. While I paid just QR.220 as against her mum of QR. 2900 then. I dont know if the info is not correct now but as of then... very very correct.

But I think their layover fom flight from Nigeria is long for a pregy or a nusing mother..... dts should be the only concern.

With emirates ur baby is entitled to one checked in bag of 23kg and a diaper bag off 5kg.

I flew Emirates last year November to naija with my baby.

akindolz:
Has anyone used Emirates in this baby birthing venture? I want to confirm if the baby is entitled to a checked-in luggage on the way back from America. ...pls help a sis out. I want to take 3 boxes wen going or I just stick to my 2 boxes which I'm entitled to as an individual....Standing by for ur responses pls

Maximun 9days. When sendin d money order use priority mail so they ll get it d next day. Also d return envelop should be priority as well.

nefertitiram:


Hi Shelly, but how long does it take to get the visa using innovate?

Hahahahaahaha na really Siri Lanka! We dey for Iran own too... hahahahahah

Saved2Serve:
Hotstepper God bless you immensely. This is second missionary journey for most of us. Phema and Nita are you not the ones i saw on the thread of "cost and procedure of giving birth in Siri Lanka? Hmm! you guys are yet to unveil una plans oh...

Sorry dear. She said her uncle helped her cos he is a gynaecologist. So he did everything b4 She got there.

Hmmmmm. I saw this article this morning.

Hahahahahaha Tvegas. Welicome welicom

Tvegas:



Una don reach here? Dia riz God oooo.

Extended Stay includes crossland and also d one at east oak. I don't av any info on legacy suits but heard many naija mamas r there presently. It's also far from d hospital from what I heard. Y I didn't suggest it to u cos u said u r avin twins so consider d stress too from Legacy Suite.

U can use google map to find out d distance from legacy suite to d hospital using bus and usin cab. But a mama that was goin to stay there changed her mind that cab fare to and from d hospital is about $60-$70 don't kno how true it is though.

But in all consider ur twins after birth cos u ll only use cab to avoid d stress.

Happymum:


Extended stay America. Gets me confuse because I don't know if it includes crossland and legacy suites. Please do you have any ideal how much legacy suites cost( 1bedroom and 2 bedroom)? Thanks

Hello dear what's ESA?

Happymum:

Thank you so much, I really appreciate. Just used the search button on this thread and it seems crossland is close to shops and all but nobody has mentioned anything about ESA. Please is it closer to shops than crossland?thanks alot

It depends dear. My son had catarrh and cough for almost 2weeks. I used d Eucalyptus oil abi wetin dem call am, it didn't do anything. I took him to see a pead, on d 2nd visit, full blood count was done and d result came out well. D paediatrician explained to me that it's viral so she adviced me not to use anything that his immune system wud fight it that they only prescribe drugs if it's bacterial infection. She gave me Otravine nasal drop to apply twice a day just to help with d blocked nose especially at 9t.

It wasn't easy though watching him cough and see catarrh dripping then breathing with his mouth mainly but everything stopped gradually on its own.


quote author=Ezeanna post=33441623]Hello, good mamas, pls what can I do to relieve my 4 weeks old baby of catarrh? It's really blocking his nose.[/quote]

If u want somewhere close to shopping center then extended. Stay east. Oak it is. It's almost adjacent to walmart, target, burlington etc so u ll just walk in. But for d big stores, it's far so u ll take a bus.

quote author=Happymum post=33494453]
Thanks for your response. I doubt the driving aspect so I may have to use public transport at least until my husband arrives. Somewhere closer to shopping centers and restaurants is what I have in mind since I won't be going to the hospital daily but will love to always be able to do window shopping and occasionally real shopping.
Thanks[/quote]

Hello Happymum, u can try Extended Stay east oak, Ocotillo apartments or Monterra. They r very close to d hospital and affordable. But for Ocotillo u av to rent some things eg TV et all. Monterra to d best of my knowledge is not furnished too but Extended stay eaast oak has got everything just like crossland.m crossland is a bit far from d hospital (I stayed in crossland) it's about 1hr from d hospital by bus but 15mins by cab but trust us naija women (we were up to 15 in Crossland at that time) we were usin bus for appointments but used cab mostly after delivery. Some still used bus after delivery too.

For things to carry pls do not carry yam. Like Tvegas said palm oil is prohibited as well. U can get big bottle of palm oil for $14. Anything containing chicken is prohibited eg chicken indomie, chicken Maggi etc though some pple her went in with them freely but For me I wud rather play by d rules to avoid any story. Cheers

Happymum:
Good afternoon everyone. Please I intend using MIHS in phoenix for birthing because I am expecting twins and the quotes I have seen and gotten from other hospitals so far have been scary. My confusion now is concerning accommodation, I need an accommodation that can take my mum,my toddler and myself and then the twins when they arrive.Also, my husband will be joining us early august( I am due to arrive phoenix next month). I am considering legacy suites,palm shadows or crossland. Please can anyone advice me which will be better?i am really confuse,spent 2days worrying over this issue.

Also, please at the Poe will I be allowed to carry yam, beans,crayfish, oil,etc ?what foods are forbidden please. Thank you so much, please eagerly awaiting answers please

May her soul RIP dear.

Dear FAM. My mum died yesterday evening. Been so sad

Chai! Na wa oh. A friend told me about this forum and I must say e no go easy. I av laughed at some posts already but let me see how it goes. Will start this week. I hope I can go tru with d 13 days sha.

Pls do not massage it no matter how lightly. It will become soft on its own. When my son took d penta, same thing happened but I just left it like that and everything was ok. I kno some pple apply ori but even if just apply it annd there should be no form of massage. Pele he ll be fine

joyousf:
Hello mamas, how are your little ones.

Took my baby for ten weeks immunisation on wed. he took penta 2 on his thigh.I noticed the spot is very hard and darker than the surrounding skin. I didn't rub it after he was given though hr bled a little and it was cleaned.
pls what do I do? I have gotten different advices. some say just apply ori, another a cold compress and massage others that I should do nothing.

what I have done so far is apply towel soaked in cold water and then light massage with ori or mentholatum. am I doing it right? pls I need advice esp from mamas that have experienced this with this penta.

Nefer abeg d first hospital door to kno na Mount Sinai oh. I hear it's about $4000 in total. A friend gave birth there but she has family there and said housing is expensive
