Good morning mamas. Trust our LOs are doing great. Please who has an idea of what I can use on my 16month baby. He has impetigo (known as Alefo in Yoruba). At first I thought it was heat rashes, then I used medicated powder and all these tropical creams on him. But there was no changes, rather it became more. So I went to the pharmacy, the pharm was even saying it's like little boils, until I googled before I got the name. We were prescribed antibiotics and mupiderm (muciprocin ointment for bacteria infection). We're on the antibiotics and but C for 3 days now, but the ointment finished the second day (it's quite small in the tube and expensive). But the stuff is spreading. Please mothers, what else can I use? Kindly respond. Thanks

Since its spreading, why not see a doctor about it.

Please mothers..I need help concerning my kids. They are 5,3 and 1+ respectively.

1) Their stature seems to thin for me.
2) Their skin isn't bright..

I've been using Emzor vit-c n Emzor multivitamin for them but still no improvement. They are presently using cacatin because of the heat rashes.

I feel like I'm not getting something right about them. I need recommendation of a very good multivitamin, o don't mind the price. And a good lotion for them.

Thanks.

I don’t know about the stature issue but I believe that taking enough water, fruits and vegetables regularly helps with maintaining a healthy skin.

Mama, please don’t use anything. Take the baby to see a paediatrician , not a pharmacist.

Nawa o. From hospital to herbal shop. 3weeks old baby. You people will not allow the baby grow in peace.

The open head you are talking about is in every baby and will not close anytime soon. Its called fontanelle. A simple google search will explain it. Biko dont give that baby anything in the name of covering the open head before you end up harming that child.
Thanks ma

no1. Avoid elewe omo lik a plague... If ur baby head isnt open ehn, na big problem 4 una... Look it up on google.... D place is ment to b open n beat lik heartbeat 4 1-2yrs... It gives space 4 Brain to grow... If its too wide, ur baby is dehydrated, give him or her more breastmilk to help wit d dehydration.
No 2. Baby stretches cs e is going through colic... I hv an almst 3weeks old baby n e grunt n stretches n turn red while doing this... He does dis cos of gas/wind in his tummy... E does dis especially wen e is tryin to pass wind through his anus or mouth... Its wat all babies go through... Dnt gt ursef worked up.... I use infacol thou to break down d gas his stomach produce n it works wonderful.

The box alone is 5000 but why not just buy a stetescope for 2k, the items in the box are made of plastic and likely to break after use, depending on the age of the kids though.I live in Efab City Estate.

I'd suggest you run a culture on your urine that will tell the specific type of infection you have and also list out drugs you are sensitive too. Then you can get any drug from your list of sensitivity that's suitable for a breastfeeding mum
