@julicoka, u can give me a call.

just normal b complex syrup. U can get it @ d pharmacy. I ll suggest u give her 5ml 2ce a day. What u ll do is dis. When u wake up in d morning, breastfeed her. Let her have her fill. When she burps or after abt 10mins, give d b complex. Then go bath her. Dont offer breast again. Instead, go prepare her food. If she wants to sleep aftr d bath let her. But if she dsnt sleep, let her play. When she crys out for d breast again offer her d pap. She may not lyk d position u place her. Try another method. Let her sit in a chair. Or place her on ur lap sitting n sing rhyms for her or any song she likes . Offer her d food and see if she takes. If she dsnt take d pap leave her just dnt offer breast at dt moment. And if she takes a spoon or two, fyn, let her sleep with that. When she wakes u ll offer food again.

okay now we can start from somewhere. stick to pap for now. do u mix it with milk? moreso dont u think u are giving her too much drugs at the same time? just give bco syrup. my baby used to have the same problem too though she wasnt vomiting

another thing; how do u feed her? as in what position do u place her?

julicoka: pls itmelex i real need help i ve been battling wit my baby she is going to 8 months she doesn't eat i ve tried many tin pls what will i do her d worse part of it is water she doesn't drink it pls real need help urgent

what does she eat? as in what foods do u give her? does she accept it? have u tried homemade meals? does she eat cereal?isit that she doesnt eat what u offer at all or she takes a little? u need to give more info so mothers on this thread can help u. what i ll sugest first is to give bcomplex syrup only no multivita or vitamin c. it helps boost appetite in babies. when she's hungry, dont give her the breast; offer food in a little quantity.

@Ayobarmy. ur wife may not see herself the way u see her. so she may not be bothered abt the tummy. until she sees herself the way itmelex did.

mr Ayo. if she did a CS, it may not come down immediately. if not CS, then she has to start tummy excercises and u can help her achieve this by supporting her. if she just had d baby, then she can do the tying of wrapper thing thightly around her womb area

itsmelex: Omegemi, Not that the fragrance of agnessia is bad I just dont fancy it, I like that apealing baby smell my baby's powda gives compared to the agnesia when I used it, but it worked greatly and thats what counts!
#na me complain na, not Pretty Trust.lol.

Ehn, help us tell ify ooo! Been with notepad and pen as regards that nta and she has not come to explain ooo

sorry for d mix up. correction taken.

udoka2: good to have searched and seen this post!

@brendy,
do you know of Pep Stores? is balogun price cheaper than them?

i dont know where u reside but i have seen two in my area now. BTW the store and products are china. i hv never shopd there but i understand its cheap goods n they dont last. dont know how true it is.

signed; not only for my adorable daughter but also for my neices,for all my furture grand-daughters, the generation yet unborn and all those beautiful and talented young and aspiring young girls out there on the streets and on every nook and corners of Nigeria.
all these bcoz of mans' selfish desire.

from my own experience, i think its an imbalance of hormones. Try and google up pcos on d net. It think it occurs during d tym of ovulation n d ovary produces cysts instead of eggs. A cyst grows bigger than others and causes discomfort while trying to burst. She needs to see a gyn/ob not just any doctor.

ify's world:
Nta and umafor are real. And am meant to understand that its not treated in de hospital, mmhh der is no orthodox medicine for it. So look for a good herbalist to first take a look at ur baby to be sure he has it. It treatment takes like one week. Herbs are not harmful, good and genuie ones.take card.

@ify's world i would like for u to please expalin what 'nta and umafor' is for the benefit of we non-ibos. what are its symptoms and how do we go about it? remember no knowledge is lost.

adetunrayo: Hi sweet mothers,quite a while.my issue is about my 4 months baby prefaring 1 bosom to d other.I noticed this when she was a month plus.Now she doesn't want 2 suck the right breat @ all except d left.This has made d bosom smaller than d other, plus low milk productn.I just want 2 know if there is no side effect.I guess I hav been used 2 d left bosom too.I we equally want 2 know what else I could do 2 increase my milk prod. It just 2 low,I tried 2 support with formular cos my baby isn't satisfy.thanks

u have to force her to take the other breast. dont let her get used to a particular positon coz of her neck. why i say this is coz when she sits she may b used to facing one positon due to her neck. moreso , it may be the reason she doesnt lyk the other breast; the neck may be aching her.

pretty trust: Pls house I need urgent response,my 7mths baby is having serious rashes all over her body expecially her face in it is inching her I don't no wat to use and some pple said it is becos of her teething dt it will go but am really confuse if she is reacting to somtin

they may be right. it may be teething. it may also be as a result of a reaction to a new food. it may also be too much clothes on due to cold weather. but whateva it is, try and help make ur baby comfortable. the agnesia powder is also good. but i dont know the one u say about d smell. i hve never perceived any smell from it before. but sha, u just get d original agnesia and apply it on d body while still wet or mix wit little water before application. if u arent sure about the powder, go get 'moju' the local yoruba one, its very good too. u can also do this; get calamine lotion and mix with moju and rub all over her. i m sure that helps and pls dont expose her to cold.

I think its way too late for d man to try stopping d wife from wearing trousers on d excuse of 'family n religion'. Na now d family dey see am? He should have told her during courtship to stop.
Moreso, i think d man himself get problem. To me, its either he fynds his wife sexy and attractive in it n probably he feels other men do too, or he likes those 'thin legged' girls out there with trousers on wearing it better than his wife.
What if she were an engineer? Will she have to wear skirt to sites? How abt if she has to sit on a byk?
This man should get a lyf abeg.

blank:
My baby had it and i did absolutely nothing. I didnt even realise when it covered. In my opinion, silverbird is too strong for a new born baby. It says on d pack, not to be placed on skin.

'oka' varies. some are mild and some r severe. i never said to place it staight from the bottle to the scalp. i said 'mixed' with oil. its what i use up till today and it helps with cold and catarh. baby oil bottles are quite big and thats what i look at before i mix and i know silverbird is srong. i may not mix up to half a bottle of silverbird but the little i did add helped work wonders. it may not have worked for u but it sure did work for me. moreso 'oka' causes stooling a lot in babies; so i m made to understand. my baby too xperienced it.

seundaniels:

Hey pinkdaisy, plz am sorry to bother u. Plz just noticed my baby Has Oka. Plz wht did u do. Urgent advice plz.

@seundaniels. pls be patient and dont fret. i did worse than u did.first n foremost dont give agbo to the baby. here's what i did. go to eleweomo these herb sellers and buy 'oka'. its like a dried fruit with an opening. there's a number u ll buy for each sex.i think 5 for boys and 7 for girls i m not sure. get a container with a lid and put the 'oka' in it. pour much water over d 'oka' in the container and cover for 3 days. after d third day, u can start using it to wash the head only. using ur hand scoop d water 3ce over the head of d baby.
the next thing is for u to buy silverbird. make sure u get d original. pour half of it in the baby oil (a full container). use it on the head and cover the head with cap as u are putting d oil.
thats what i did for my baby.

ayobarmy: Hello @all, how are our kids doing? I must say i really appreciate the way you all treat this guy's case, but i have an advise for him/her, if its money that has been making you treat that baby @home, i advise u to pls take him to a h/center close to u am very sure u will find a solution there, pls dont watch that baby die.... Mummies pls my boi has this thing that looks like boil scatered on his skin, we have seen his doc though, he gave us some med which we are already giving him, but i notices he scratch his body often, some1 already ask us to buy nycil products for him, but i want to seek second opinion on this....... Thanks......

for the itching can u try getting calamin lotion n mix it with 'moju' powder n rub it on him. lets see how it would work.

TopeMel: Mothers in the house, my 2months+ baby has something that looks like rashes on his arms and face. Now it's beginning to spread to his back. It's definitely not ella coz his ella just cleared up last week. Does anyone have an idea of what this is and What can be used to clear it.

ella takes a very long time to go. i understand its a fungal infection. what have u been using for it before? mayb u should continue cos that thing called ella is quite stubborn and difficult to treat. u could also get baby tribotan or tribact and mix with ori to rub on the baby's body.

Alenkakent: My 11 day old baby just vomitted yellowish fluid some mins after feeding(on breast),she was diagnosed to have jaundice on her 5th day and we've been using yellow bulb and bathing her with water(soaked wth pawpaw),she has a big stomach(looks lyk indigestion). Could the yellowish vomit be as a result of removin d excess bilirubin in her? What can be done abt the stomach? We have clinic visit by monday but ♠ can't just do nothin till then.

i honestly dont know what to say to u. u were advised by the mothers on this thread and yet u decide to have ur way. ur baby needs help and u can only give that child the best care by taking her to a doctor. i ll suggest a general hospital. and if not take her to a nearest hospital ASAP.dont ever joke with that childs health. dont try to treat her on ur own. listen to the voice of reason.

maxiflexi: Please, I have the same question as MamaDee. My 6month old is showing signs of teething & my MIL wants me 2 giv her teething powder & piccan or bonababe (she has been asking me to do this since 2months). I read the packs and Pican & Bonababe are paracetamol based - isn't that drug abuse? Isn't it best if I use only teething toys?

if u want to give ur baby piccan or bonababe then maybe he/she is running a temp. just continue with breastmilk. its the best ur baby can have at that age. my baby is 8mths pls and is bringing out her teeth. she's been teething since 4 months. i v only given her piccan which has finished since a week now. but she didnt run a temp just the head was hot. i m made to understand that teething doesnt bring about fever but head will be hot. i only made sure i breastfed her a lot more than necessary and she is doing fyn. the only thing she had was mild rash and decreased appetite, but she pulled thru it quite well.

Before i had my baby, i vowed i d never let my children watch dt cartoon. I remember i once ask a friend why she allows her son watch dt 'thing'. How can a kid turn into a monster all d tym? It quite horrifying. I make sure my baby watches educative ones like mickey mouse, dr. Mcstuffings, Zou, e.t.c all on disney junior. N they r quite educative. That 'ben 10' encourages violence.

pls mothers can i feed my baby quaker oat? i notice she likes taking it from her dad whenever he's having breakfast.

blank:

Please throw away any cough syrup or expoctorant you have. It causes future problems for the child. I am battling with asthma like symptoms in my toddler cos of all the expectorants he has taken. In fact, i have stopped all multivite and stuff. Just Ventolin for now.

@blank, i understand expectorant are not good for babies. i v only used neofylin for my baby and only for a week and i used more of mentholatum and hot massage for my daughter as well as silverbird.i threw the rest away. ventolin i understand, is for young children with asthma. it is well with ur baby.

normal nylon bags i what i use and they dont get soggy. it ll only be very chilled. just make sure u tie it air tight before u put it in the freezer.

Thanx Jade for d xplanation on d soya and milk. I prepared it for her an hour ago and added one scoop of soya and one scoop of her formula and water to see how her system will take it. Immediately she tasted it, she took it. Though not much, like half d preparatn coz she's teething but i m happy she took it. Thanks a great deal

I v really learned a lot on this forum. Its really 'info-educational' (pls pardon my english)

@itmelex do u mix d pap with crayfish n milk together before feeding ur baby?
@jade is it that i can mix soya beans flour with pap n then mix it with her formula? Pls enlighten me.

@debrief good morning to u n urs. Quite an age.
@mutty i m going 2 agree to what debrief has said concering u wallowing in self pity. Prayer is key and there isnt anything God cant do but he wont come dwn to do it. He'll send smone. So if due to d babies position u have 2 go thru with cs then God will see u thru it all. Just knw that u and ur babies health r important. So just tell Him to see u n d babies thru safely.
When doctors told me i had 2 go for cs i rejected it coz my baby an i were fyn. She was in d normal position and i was also ok health wise. They wanted me 2 do an 'elective cs' 2wks b4 i ws due. Reasons were dt i had waited for long to hve a baby and they did not want to 'lose' it. Mine u baby and i were fyn. But i turned down d 'elective' cs n intead told them i would like to go my full term n dt if during labour they c d need 2 go for emergency cs then they should.
4tun8ly i went into labour 3wks aftr i rejectd d offer.

@tjskii i think only the things needed for the first three months is what should be listed. the walker, rocker, high chair and others needed much later should be included last so as not to get the expecting parents confused. or what do u think? a scale of prefernce i suppose.

@Jade pls enlighten us more. do u mix milk and soya with pap for ur baby? cos we were told at the Health center to mix pap with oil and with either soya or milk or grounded groundnut or grounded crayfish. but its like u are mixing two ingridents with pap. could u pls tell us how u do it? ho w can one get soya? can one mix soya and milk together?

my dear sis. All i can say is be strong and prayerful. Like someone said on the new born babies thread 'God cannot bring u this far to leave u'. Pls be prayerful at this stage and also be thankful to God coz some women encounter problems during pregnancy. It's God's divine grace that as brought u this far and that Grace will see u thru. What @pacify said u can discuss it with ur doc. It is well with u. Just be steadfast.

@tjskii, pls how much did u get ur baby cupboard?

tjskii: Well d mini sleepsuits I got we're 7in a pack,got them for 3,800,while d sleepsuits are 3in a pack for 2500,can't rember ow much I got d flannel cos I bot those with my 1st pregncy,it can't be more than 3k,

actually, d flannel i got last year is a 2in one and it cost N2,300. U may get it for 2k or more depending on where u buy. Theres also d one of 500 naira.

i meant to ask, is it list for d hospital or list of babys' personal things? Pls let us know so u can be told what to buy. How far gone is ur wife? If she's getting heavy then u need to shop pretty soon.

dnt fret my sis. Ur collegue may not deliver a boy as she thought. It may be a girl. scans these days r nt quite accurate. As for u, i ll tell u to just prepare for the two sexes. U may be carrying 2 bois or 2 girls or even a boi n a girl. Dont buy too much clothes until after u deliver. I encounterd such too b4 i had my daughter. I thot i was going to hv a boi. All d scans i did, none showed d sex due to her position. At d 36th week i did another scan, still we couldnt get it. She closed her thigh so well, we couldnt see her private part. It was when i delivered her dt i saw she was a girl. So, just rejoice in Christ by giving praises and thanksgiving for a wonderful and safe delivery. It is well with u.

u need to ask for a list since this is ur first since u hv registered for ur antenatal there. Where is ur location? There are a lot of baby shops around where u can buy things from
