Stop! Stop! Stop! You can only do that during the day when you are monitoring her. Its not safe, docs have advised we stop doing it. It can cause SIDS( sudden infant death). Baby can also choke on her bedsheet and u won't even know. Lay her on her side

Well done mama. As u can see frm oda posts, oda mamas' babies also experience it. Its completely normal. As long as there s no active catarrh and she s nt coughing. Their respiratory rate s much higher dan ours. As she develops, it gets better. No need to worry at all. Cheers.

Ok thanks
She does kpuhu once in a while. Not like serious cough o

Lovinam is right pls. It's dangerous but most mothers wud tell u their babies sleep more and longer on their tummy. Even d side sef I really don't buy it too cos if dd baby is like mine that started rolling at 1week then b4 u kno it, d baby wud be on his/her tummy.

Just keep placing ur baby on her back or side if she is not d rolling type yet and she ll eventually get use to it. I made sure my son slept on his back till 5months when he cud now roll from front to back and back to front.

So just keep trying dear she ll get use to it

Its kinda normal for babies.....they say its skin shedding. Just make sure his scalp is always oiled.....you can use olive oil or coconut oil.

However.....whatever u do, dont attempt to scratch it off with comb! His skin is still tender.....avoid stories dat touch!
Thanks a lot MsPat

Lovinam is right. Yes they tend to sleep longer on their tummy but it needs constant supervision. I lie my 5wks son on his tummy during d day cos am alwaz beside him to supervise but @ night I lie him on his side.

Pls I jus noticed dandruff in my son`s hair. What can I use for it so that it can disappear sharp sharp

It's called cradle cap, and it's quite common in babies.

Here is the solution...tested and trusted.

1. Generously apply baby oil/olive oil over the affected areas.

2. Wait for about 15-20mins.

3 . Take a fine-toothed comb, e.g picking comb, and gently use it to edge of the scales off the scrap. The oil would have softened it enough.

4. After doing that, wash immediately with shampoo, and use a wide-toothed comb to comb off any scales stuck in the hair itself.

Do this 2x a week till you notice it stopping.

The greatest mistake you can do is applying oil, and leaving it in the hair, as it will only harden the scales and worsen matters.

Also, do not use your nails to pick at it, as you will only injure his scalp.

Come back and testify lol.

My baby have 'eela', dunno d English name for it. A woman said I shd use carat medicated soap for it, wouldn't it be too harsh for a six week old.
And I was also told to always use pile herb (agbo jedijedi) for him so as to prevent pile cos male babies always have it in them....... BN a jjc na real work o, different advices from everyone so tey person go confuse.

If you Love your baby, you will ignore these dangerous advice you were given.

Each time I hear my baby's breath its as if she has cattarh that is blocking her nose. But there is no cattarh
Den as if she is snoring. Sometimes also when she is sleeping she breathes as if someone is pursuing her. Do I need to be worried.Tho I am o.
She also breathe with her mouth open as if nose is blocked

Absolutely normal. They breathe faster than adults, and go through different sleep cycles. No need to double-upon clothing if the baby isn't showing signs of cold.

my baby liked to be carried a lot when she was a baby everyone said it was my fault, i spoilt her with hand....she started walking at 9 months and mobility came with a lot of independence, now its hard to hold her down esp now that i have weaned, i have no regrets for carrying her back then, they grow so fast
