MamaOO:
Don’t use skineal for baby oo. I learned the hard way. It burned my son’s skin! And yes, I only used a tiny portion. The only thing that worked for him was Agbo. I only bathed him with it, I didn’t give him to drink.

His doctor also prescribed Aveeno soothing bath, Aquaphor and a prescription only triamcinolone

Mama,i dont intend to use either on my LO. My children never had eela.

I wad surprised & shocked about d "combos" on her LO's skin!

MamaDG:
my baby use to have eela, I tried all manners of things, it keeps coming back. people told me I have an oyinbo baby that eela is their best friend (though I rejected it o), until I saw a mother with a clean fair baby, I asked what she's been using and she told me she's been using a small portion of skineal +ori+2capsules of ampiclox well mixed together. I did tried it and my baby's skin is very neat. I'll upload his pix very soon. The skineal should be very small cos skineal is not meant for babies.

Huh?!?! Really?

Ampiclox caps on baby's skin?
Mama,no vex o abeg. I hope ders no aftermath of this?

everfaithfulGod:
Good morning mamas.
It's a long post pls don't mind reading tru

Pls help me torchlight this matter
I have a 2yrs old boy ( Oct 2015 born) and I am pregnant with my second ( will be due this Nov)
My child fell sick when I was 2 months preg and was admitted at d hospital for a week ( they diagnose sepsis).
2 days after he was discharged e got weak again and couldn't eat well. My mum encouraged me not to take him back and watch him since our check up appointment is in 5 days that its my pregnancy that is affecting him and that it is normal for every child no matter the age to do pregnancy sickness. That I should discuss with hubby if e can allow us to change his school to the one closer to her that she can help me take the child till I give birth. That he will be strong without rubbing himself with pregnancy. He was 1 ur 5 months then. I said lailai I can't leave my child.
I resumed work the following week since I've been away for 2 weeks taking care of my child and I took him along with me. Some co workers and ogas was so happy to see him back on his feet ( some came to visit us at d hospital). That was how they started this topic of weaning and pregnancy sickness on children. They said d sickness he did not sick when I wean him is what he just did ( a boy that I wean at 1 year 1 week)
That if its now pregnancy nko that I will smell pepper ( I quickly rebuke it. Thank God they did not no I don carry Belle already) that no matter how strong a child d pregnancy thing go do am.
Hmmm! When they all left I started thinking of what they all said and what my mum said too I start to believe small small.
In the night when hubby called ( e works in lag and came home on weekends) I explained what mum said and d confirmation of it that I heard at office. E accepted that my mum should take up d boy and e should be coming ones in 2 weekends.
And that's how we have been doing without any wahala. D boy bcm so fresh and fat bcs he eat better at my mum side than if e comes to our house and we are happy at our decision.

Fast forwards to last week that he came for mid term break. He has been with me since Wednesday tru Sunday that grandma came to pick him and I noticed d following day ( Thursday) e always develop temperature in d evening and e will want me to carry him on my lap to sleep and did not eat even his best food after like 2 spoons e will eat fish or if its egg I put and leave the rest. That was how we managed till e left on Sunday.
I told my mum to b administering paracetamol once she feels d temperature since he just completed his malaria drug 2 weeks ago.
E was happy to go back to follow grandma and my mum told me in d night when I called that e just finish amala and ewedu and no body forced him ( though 2 grand children are also with my mum and has swings and plenty toys at home. She is a retired teacher. Its like they enjoyed leaving with her). E continue eating normal since that Sunday he got back and on Wednesday night when I called I was told he had temperature so she bath him and gave him paracetamol and back him. He went to school yesterday and he was okay until later in d evening that d temperature started again.
I've told her not to allow him to go today and watch him so that I can take him to d hospital but she kept saying nothing is wrong with d boy that its because of d long time e stayed with me that caused it. That I've allowed him to rub himself with pregnancy that once I give birth d load on his head will be lifted.

I am so confused right now. Experienced mothers here should pls enlighten me.
Has anyone gone tru this before in the journey of motherhood?
Should I take the boy to his pead. Or I keep giving paracetamol at every temperature?

Sorry for my long epistle I am trying to let u get d whole episode ni.
Thanks

Hmm...

My son was sick and even admitted for three days when i was 5months pregnant with my 2nd child. My mom and mil said its bcus i was pregnant.

I kinda believe it sha

hordunayormie:
Please dont use any drug to dry up the breast milk o, what i did was, i just made a nice warm beverage in his flask and begged hubby to help me give him at night when he wakes up to suck and we did that for 2 days and that was it. As per the breast milk, i used petrol to rub my breast and the water drained out speadily within two days and i used paracetamol, if you see my breast now ehn, it be like say i never breastfeed before sef, lol. what worked for me though.

Petrol ke?!

Eleyi gidi gaan ni o!

That s..hi..t can choke meehn!

feddy27:
Lol.. women and drama

see mentions as I opened this page..lol

I'm sure we all have one or two lessons to learn from this

In other words, sore throat dey do me too,, Is it the hamatthan that's coming?

Harmattan don dey Kaduna since early last month sef...

Pele ma

zaynie:
Grate ginger, add hot water, sieve.
Add lemon or lime juice.
Drink hot. Gargle of you can.
Try to avoid cold water, opt for warm or room temperature water.

U are a darling ma'am.
Thanks ma.
Naturally,i dont like cold water. Its d harmattan dat has showed up in Kaduna o!

Thanks once again ma

Zheemub:
OMG.
Lessons learnt ahead in biz 101.
Mamas made my insomnia worth it.

Perfectcrown, why not try the honey and lime combo.
It has been proved to be effective by some mamas who used it here.
Read few pages back for it.

Thanks ma but i react to honey

Eeehh,helpuu oo! This sore throat is dealing with me ehn! I cant even swallow saliva without wincing in pain,its sooo painful.

Please can i use AMOXILLIN? I've been using strepsil &pcm but it did nada! It gives me sleepless night(s) as i have to either go and pour d saliva away of bone face swallow am(bcus of d number of time i'll have to get up)

helovesme:
i am also surprised she posted the screenshot on IG. i read how you, feddy27 and some others stood up to discourage the idea of photocopying her book. if she had concerns on privacy, she could have made a subtle comment on the issue without any yeye screenshot. i guess what she wants is pity party from her IG a$$lickers.

she has effectively sown the idea of photocopying to her IG followers. i see a scenario where 8 mothers will contribute 1k each to buy the book and then they will photocopy it using their office photocopier and pass it to each other.

I tell you mama,she has given them ideas. See gbege wey she don cause 4herself...

I jus dey vex as i saw d screenshot!!! Mtchwww!

Let her come here and screenshot all these...! Nonsense!

jazzyjazz:

Motherhood+wifehood isn't beans but it's just God's grace that sees us thru it all.

spiceeamiee:

#RANT#

As nursing mothers,has any1 ever forgotten food on fire till it got burnt?

Have you ever forgotten to regfrigerate or put that food in the freezer till it got spoilt?

Have you ever forgotten to cook that "little" food(say white okro or ewedu) till it dried away?

Have you ever forgotten to make that call or reply an sms?

The list is endless...

I'm asking these questions because i keep wondering if i'm not a waster(in this buhari time)!
I dont intend to nbe one but motherhood has done all these to me ooo...!

Hubby complains initially but now,he sees and understand why its always so... Even though he still gives me#side eyes# sometimes...

I feel like im missing out in all these,trying to combine motherhood and "wifehood"... lol

As i am now,im sooo exhausted!

I feel like crying...

How did our mothers did it?! My momm had six of us...

Sometimes,i just feel like i cant...

God help your daughter naw...

Haryanphe:
Good afternoon mothers, Pls my 4 month old daughter has been stooling since Saturday and I took her to clinic where she was given amplicox, flagyl and zinc to be used and we have since been using it. But this stooling only reduced and did not stop totally, so my mom said the stooling might be because she wants to cut teeth.
1. Can a four month baby cut teeth?
2. What can I use to stop her from stooling?
Pls help a worried mother.

For me ooo,antibiotics makes my children stool alot! So most times,i just call the pead/doc and tell them and they'll say i should stop and afterwards,my kids will be totally fine!

There was a time my first ds was stooling(he was about 6months then). Whenever he eats(frisogold rice cereal),give it 2-3mins,he'll stool. Igot so worried that i started crying... Was given all manner of drugs(expensive ones o) but none work until a PHARMASIST suggested i give him flagyl(anoda kind on antibiotics)which i was afraid to give but i did. Alas,d stooling reduced then stopped eventually!

But i'll like to say,u should also watch what you eat cus she draws fromyou or is she also on formula For me,i dread antibiotics for babies o!

Let other sabi mamas come and chook mouth.

Pele.

LadySarah:
