@shndy, thanks. The agnesia powder that I bought didn't work. I guess it's fake.

@tchiwinnie and @lovinam, thanks. I've been hearing about this powder, but I've never seen it anywhere. Where can I get it? I stay in Lagos.

Thanks mamas for the heads up on Nutrend. I won't bother to go near it.

Mamas, what can I use to get rid of heat rashes on my 6 months old baby's face? It's all over her face and has refused to go for more than 2 weeks, in fact it has been increasing daily.

Please help.

My doctor once asked me if I switch on the AC for my baby and I said no. He said I should always do that, that it's not dangerous. I don't think it is the AC, will make research into it.

See-saw lori Okada...they had skunk for breakfast.

LMAO.... this comment is just too funny.

I hope it's photoshopped o because this is worse than suicide.

Thanks vickilafab and favoredgal.

To mamas that go to work, which do you do/prefer? Nanny or creche? I'm thinking of the one to use just that I'm scared of nannies after that adoption saga.

Thanks Nita2013 and tchiwinnie

Mamas, una weldone o.

Please, what's your take on the use of baby walkers?

My husband wants us to get one for my baby that is almost 5 months old. I read online that it should be used from when baby is 6 months old but he's not ready to hear. I also read on babycentre.co.uk that it is not good for babies at all, that it interferes with their development. She disturbs a lot and he feels getting a baby walker will make her busy and disturb less.

Anyone with experience on it's use should say something please. Thanks.

edwife:


Exactly!Some women get bigger after childbirth,so Op your girlfriend might just be on that side. And just for the record, not everybody with big boobs go saggy after childbirth,it depends on how you take care of your body.

And how do you take care of your body for your boobs not to go saggy after childbirth?

This is not good. It will affect too many things negatively.

Nita2013:
Lol @ur last paragraph.

Ur milk flow will not be d same all tru dear. As dd month goes by it will definitely reduce especially if u r supplementing but u can still continue takin pap and keep drinking lots of water.
e.

Thanks Nita. I knew it will reduce with time, just that I didn't expect it to happen so suddenly and the fact that it has been helping with birth control. I am really enjoying that and I wish it won't stop till I'm ready again. lol

shndy:

Ok, thanks a million. The place is swollen and his temp is high

I'm going to quote my matron verbatim - "she may run temperature after taking the injections, just give her paracetamol immediately you get home, it will go down in maximum of 48hours. If the place swells up, don't touch it. It will go down by itself"

That's all I've ever done and I've never had problems with immunizations. Each time I go for it, I always end up giving her paracetamol only twice and the fever disappeared in less than 24 hours. Take care.

Thanks tobiaboG and hajarahbadmus. It seems pap doesn't work for me but I will try again. What really worked for me in the past was palm wine but I can't get it anywhere close now.

My baby is 4 and half months and my milk flow has reduced greatly. What can I use to make it increase back?

I hope someone will answer me this time.

Mamas, what can I use to relieve itchy gums in my four and half months baby? She has big rashes on her upper back that has been there for more than two weeks. I took her to a paed yesterday and she was given piriton and skineal.

I noticed the itching worsens each time I give her the piriton. Do you think I should stop the piriton and rub only the skineal?

How can I reduce itchy gums too? Thanks.

What's wrong with the picture? They all practically stayed apart.

I understand the fact that we are trying to help here but please, we don't have to put others down while doing that. As long as you are okay with the way you feed your baby, especially after getting advice from experienced mothers, carry on abeg.

shndy:
I use purit/savlon in my baby's bath and Dettol in his laundry.
I rub his feet with mentholata before wearing socks (to ward off cold so they say).
And I rub agnesia powder (dusting powder) on his body.
Pls mothers am I doing the right things?

I have stopped using mentholata on my baby's feet considering the weather these days, as for that Agnesia, I'm not sure you should use it every time since it's a mentholated powder. Let experienced mamas respond.

MumZ:

Add me on Whatsapp. I'II guide you through the tutorial when I can.

Please explain it here. Thanks.

Hi mamas,

My baby has refused to take pap o even when I add many spoons of milk. Some one said I should add honey to his pap. Is that safe for him? . His is 4mths 2 weeks.

I planned buying cerelac for him today. I pray he does not reject it.

Can a 4month old baby take Cerelac? I'm currently giving my baby Heinz cereal for 4+ months. I've always thought cerelac and co are for 6 months old and above.

esteria:
Pls is there anybody here, or if u know any1 who who has used nd is still using children hosp on 4th Avenue, festac town?

Tnx all for ur responses as usual.

Someone that uses their branch at Ijesha area said the hospital is good. Though I also learnt the mother and child hospital at first gate is good too.

Sorry about that. I didn't make my oil myself, my mum bought it for me from Ibadan.

Rotfl, this is just too funny abeg

The brands you want are not as strong as sinergy or sukam. I don't sell them. Thanks.

Hi @NoQualms1, I use the Nasopure Baby Comfy Nose and it's really good, here is their website https://www.babycomfycare.com/product/baby-comfy-nose-nasal-aspirator/

I got it from HealthPlus, about 4k something, can't remember the exact price. I also used a humidifier which also seemed to help.

Congrats @sayoberry

Thanks. I will check it out.

@cancerlib, it's normal. they poop a lot at that age. Don't worry, you will still be the one to complain that baby has not pooped for days later.

@ hajarahbadmus, I use avent Phillips manual pump. Got it for N8,500.

@new mums, congrats. I know Sayoberry from pregnancy thread. I'm so glad to know you've delivered. Welcome to the vigilante club.

Mamas, where can I get mucus extractor in Lagos? My baby has been battling with catarrh for more than a month, the medicine doc gave us didn't work.

Also, how will one know a baby that will become Dada (have natural dreadlocks)? Thanks.

Still in business?

Nita2013:
Hello, she is obviously teething but nothing to worry about. But pls make sure her nails are always trimmed so as not to store germs underneath as she puts her fingers in her mouth.

Thank you Nita2013

tchiwinnie:
She s fyn. She s just being a 3month old baby.lol. Seriously, theres nothing to worry abt.

Thank you. I was already thinking of taking her to the hospital by the end of the week if she doesn't stop. My mind is at rest now.
