well from the little I know extracting or pumping makes breast milk dry so u need to feed the baby directly instead of pumping

THIS IS NOT TRUE...habaaa!!!
on the contrary, pumping and extracting breastmilk using a pump when baby isn't sucking (maybe cos baby is asleep) helps boost milk supply.

The pumping mimics baby sucking and this signals ur brain/hormones to make more milk to match up what is being taken out via sucking/pumping/extraction

In addition to what other mamas have suggested, please ensure you eat very well and also rest well. I took blood tonic to increase my appetite so that I could eat more. Also take lots of fluid (water, tea, pap, oats, etc). You take them in addition to your regular meals and not just as your meal. Reduce stress as stress can reduce breastmilk production.
Please continue pumping regularly cos high demand would lead to increase in breastmilk production. Hope these help

How often do u pump or put ur baby to breast to suck?
U need to do this as often as up to 8-10 times daily, sounds like a very tough call but building steady breastmilk supply requires a lot of effort.
Try pumping when baby is asleep and put baby to breast when u r not pumping.

Water is also very important....Are u drinking up to 3 litres of water per day?

Hello moms. Moms residing in yaba or those who are familiar with “The audio dept for kids at Military hospital yaba” should please tell me about their working days. I wish to visit and meet with specialist there. I have browsed but couldn’t get a number to call. Due to distance, I’d like to make a successful trip once and hate to be turned back. Any information about the days and time their specialist are available will be very appreciated. Thanks.

There are two types. I think the one you are talking about is the three dose own. The #8000 rota is two doses.

Please MummyHalo could you explain what you mean by the three doses and two doses.
I was thinking if one pays 8,000 or 5400 it covers for all the times baby will need rota [6-14weeks]. Thank you.

No ma, it doesn't cover everything. The price is just for one dose. You take rotatrix twice, ie 8k each which sums up to 16k. The 5k+ vaccine is taken at 6, 10 & 14 weeks. The money still sums up to around 16k+.

Pls help a FTM. My Nine and half months old baby has refused to crawl. He can sit uprightly without support. He can roll but cannot sit unless u place him in that position. He can play with toys around him. He can stretch his hand to any desired toy but he gives up when his hand cannot reachit. He can turn his head to the back if need arise but he does not crawl.

He hardly respond to name calling. He looks at my face and smile when am playing with him tho.

Note. People said he has soft body tone and I have taken him to different hospitals who said he's fine and that crawling is not a compulsory milestone. I'm worried pls. Is my experience normal pls?

Please. how soon can one who delivered by CS start tieing the stomach.

Am i suppose to give my babies water. I used to think all the water in their baby food is sufficient for them but my MIL thinks otherwise, she says their feaces is strong and its because i don't give them water.
Your input will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

It's not advised to tie your tummy after CS..but you can wear those post partum belts.

Even as an adult you use water to cook food but you still drink water afterwards abi? Same thing for when you formular feed, you should give them water afterwards. Only exclusively breastfed babies don't need water.

While crawling isn't really a milestone marker (some babies go from sitting to standing and walking without crawling) is he trying to pull himself up from sitting position to standing? You can also help him. Instead of just putting him in a sitting position you can lie him on his tummy and put the toys just within his reach so he's stretching to get it. .when he touches it you move it slightly away so he's forced to move towards it.

The not responding to name calling: my son was like that and I was worried he had hearing issues so we did a hearing test...his hearing was fine but he's on speech therapy..I don't know if it correlates or if it's just first child syndrome or boys not talking early but I suggest you talk to him. Keep talking to him everytime (not just plumping him in front of the tv)...when you're changing his diaper, bathing, cooking etc. He should be babbling now, right? When he does you carry on the conversation like you understand what he's saying but don't baby talk.
If he didn't do a hearing test at birth you can go do one.

It's been a long winded case for us but thankfully we have it figured out and working on it holistically.

..When he was less than a year I noticed he doesn't turn when you call his name. Although he did a hearing test at birth but I was asked to do another one at about 2yrs old.
..There aren't any kids in and around my house and he didn't go to preschool until he was almost 2 so no mixing with kids to spur talking.
..He noticed he didn't need to say anything when he wants something...just cry and he'd be fed or water given, goes to the toilet himself instead of saying he wants to wee etc.....so he carried on like that.
...I was reading to him from about 3months so by 1 he was already reading so he was technically talking but not making requests or engaging in conversations.
...At 6 months I noticed he had milk allergies so I switched to soy formular. Switched back to cow milk at 1 cos I thought he wasn't reacting to it.. but he just wasn't reacting violently like he did with the formular. With formular he would vomit immediately I fed him but at 1 he was having rash like reaction on his skin that I didn't link to milk until much later...he also had egg allergy.
...He always had upper respiratory diseases (running nose ) which later made his adenoids swell so we were always treating with antibiotics.
At 2 plus I engaged a speech therapist that worked with him until before lockdown (3+).


He enrolled in normal school at 4 and they recommended a speech and language pathologist to assess him.
His speech is OK for his age (infact he has serious American accent) but his receptive speech (understanding questions and making conversations) were like a 2yr old. So the recommendation was a therapist to work on it and a diet change.

Turns out, just like the milk and egg, he was allergic to some other foods that always triggered the sneezing and running nose that had us always using antibiotics (which also caused its own wahala).

So he's currently on a gluten free/casein free diet and with the speech therapy going on for less than a Yr (he's 5) there's been a marked improvement .


Hearing test was done at BSA hearing and speech Centre in Ikeja

Perhaps you can consider swaddling her. Right from the hospital we learnt how to swaddle my DD from the nurses, and she sleeps better when she is swaddled. You can check Google for videos on how to swaddle new borns.
