Kokaiye typed exactly what I was going to type,but if I must add, ur baby probably got infected by d infected breast, no give am dt breast again o,I hope d doctor u said is a paediatrician? If not, go get a good paediatrician to see
Ur baby o, if u stop breastfeeding him on d affected breast ,u will feel more pain but all u need to do is to extract d breast milk n dispose,so u can have some relief, u will be fine.

Thanks but sorry for the misunderstanding.
He doesn't have boil on/ in the mouth oo.
He's been having boils since his 9_10weeks.
If e get who infect me na him.
But thank you all the same
For others reading silently, breast milk is still ok with the boil, doc said no wahala, just that the pain is sweet.
I actually cried today, baby stopped sucking and was looking at me, told him to go gently at it and he obeyed.

Motherhood another story for another day.

My DD had same and the pharmacy gave us Sporidex to be used for 7 days but before the 7 days it all dried off and my neighbour who is a nurse also told me to stop applying oil on her hair/head and use her shea butter but I didn't listen since I saw the boils drying up... Boom, the boils came back and I started feeling guilty on the not stopping the oil stuff and we are back to square 1. I've stopped oil for now While some people said it is teeth though I no gree..

I also read that heat causes boils so I reduced Caps seriously.. You can take her to see a doctor and if your doctor recommends it, Sporidex can be taken by paediatrics

Good morning mama... You can clean the tongue,some mums use cotton wool swiped in glycerin and you can also use cotton wool swiped in water to dab the tongue and wipe any area you feel needs to be wiped.
For me o, you can start purees at 5 months and semi solids as well Incase formula won't be sufficient for baby

Thank you kokaiye , you always come thru.
Pls my son doesn't have boil on his mouth, l was trying to describe the kind of rash that comes and some of them changes to boil on his body.
The rashes have pus on the mouth is what l meant.
As for my son his fine now, no more boils.
I will do as u have advised, just that breastfeeding him on that breast is heavenly.
This ur description fits ALEFO .it's a name the yorubas called rashes that burst into pus

Aww, little innocentie.. The nail cutter is the best. Just ensure it doesn't hold any skin when you put her nail in between then tip it off gently.. Or you can use your teeth when you just brushed (some women use their teeth but I can't).

Be patient mama, when he's 4 months, you can start sitting with him.. I put my DD in between my laps when we started or hold her and let her remain in sitting position for few minutes when we started and now we can stay longer.. When he's getting used to you doing that, you can then put him on the settee and pass his sides with clothes (make sure you are there o).. At first he'll tip over but gradually he'll sit on his own?

Please take him back to the hospital for phototherapy or you use the early morning sun method of its very mild.. Some people give their babies pawpaw water but many moms don't advise it cos of their tender kidney

Thank you for all you do on this platform.


For my son, it's not that he's not sitting at all. He sits on his own for like 2mins and then falls.
It's just that with how fast he achieved other milestones, I taught he would have started sitting firmly on his own by now.

Sometimes he rolls from tummy to back

I think it's too early for that oo, sitting firmly ke shocked..
In my place, we start teaching boys to sit at 4 months (they say so they don't sit on the scrotum grin).. I started sitting my DD at 3 months, her spine is also very important, make e no bend cheesy.

Just continue patiently, he'll get there

Hello mamas, please my DD is 15 months and is still not walking. Since she clocked 8 months, she has been holding things and moving around them, also, she walks if I hold one of her hands. Please I don’t know what to do again because she even achieved every other milestone quickly except walking. I cry myself to sleep every night and I’m slowly getting depressed, family members are also not helping at all because they feel I’m not teaching her. I currently live alone with just my DD and I’m working so I hardly even have time to teach her too, even times when I do, it’s as if she gets worse the next day. Has anyone had this kind of experience before? What did you do?

Please I’d appreciate a quick response because I’m slowly loosing it.

Ps: please pardon any typos because I’m crying as I type this

Please hold her hand and walk her round more often, it could be fear provided her legs are standing firmly on the ground then while you keep walking her once her mind is not there, slowly slip your hand out of hers and watch her. Please walk her with you very often
