Pls avoid teething medicines for them, instead buy teething toys (teethers) that your baby can continuously chew on but you will need to constantly clean and sterilize them.

Most teethers relieve babies better when they are a bit cold.

He uses his tongue to scratch it which makes a kind of noise

Pls any mama using cow & gate first infant formula, how good is it?

Lol...it's not impossible that he is teething but it is very rare. I suspect he's not really teething except if he is drooling and fussy as well.

However, you can buy him colorful teething toys too, he will grow into them.

Cow and gate is a good product if your baby tolerates it.

Kimoni, yes he drools. I was also shocked to discover it as its quite early for a 2 month old. Tank u mama.

My 2 months old is also experiencing same. She uses her hand to scratch her gum. At first I thought she wanted to suck her hand but a closer look, I noticed she was fiddling with her gum. Also, when I carry her on my shoulder, she'd be turning her neck left to right with her open mouth on my shoulder.

.

Kimoni:


There are several videos of the surgery on YouTube. Watch it if you aren't too emotional, it doesn't last for more than 10 mins

Alright thanks a lot

beedam:


It's done in the hospital but I couldn't stand seeing my son in such pain while doing it so I stayed outside. In a week to 9days,it should be off. Then you start applying penicillin ointment . My son felt the pain for few hours only on the first day and that was all.

Thanks beedam, though a nurse is coming home to do that for him,let me see how it goes then

Kimoni:


I avoided these most times by putting my baby in a moses basket which had a net and an all round zip so you could only look through the net of the basket to see the baby. Even on the christening day, she was there all day except when I wanted to brea.stfeed her and so contact was greatly minimized without offence to anybody. Luckily, the basket also had a handle with which you could carry her around without disturbing her.

Please how did u get the moses basket & will the baby still agree to stay in it once they're 3mths old

Lol...what can I say? Maybe it's teething, maybe it's not.

When children are hungry, then like to chew on everything.

Also, naturally, at this age, they are at the initial stage of exploring the world, they do this by looking and observing, which is why their eyes start following objects/humans.

They also like to feel with their mouth and this get stronger as they grow up ie they start putting every object in their mouth.

But it's okay to give them teethers at this stage. Teethers are soft toys that will not harm them and also colorful to stimulate their interest.





***since it's a toy they put in their mouth, I will run away from the cheap or inferior ones.

Use a bib for him constantly but pls remove it when he wants to sleep.

At home? But why?

It's a simple procedure quite right but then, it's still called a surgical operation and best done where any unforeseen emergency can be quickly handled. Will she be bringing all the equipment to your house or how exactly does she want to go about it?

Abi is it piercing of ears we are talking about Lemme recheck ur post.

I moved my baby to a cot bed at about 3 months...it's really for newborns.

At 3 months, you should have perfected the art of shielding your baby from peeps you don't really dig naa.

If you are at home, just start beastfeeding your baby once they are coming in or pretend they were fussy, so you are trying to rock them.

Mamas! please there is this thick whitish substance on my baby's tongue,which has now extend to the inner part of the lip, Its bn there for awhile now, showed the doc the other day he said nothing to worry abt as it will clear on its on,only for it to extend to d inner part of both upper and lower lip.
Please how can I get rid of it.

It's either thrush or milk residue.

Thrush you should worry about, milk residue will go on its own

Thrush comes in patches while milk residue is more evenly spread out.

Some people prefer to clean milk residue with glycerin or boiled water using a cotton bud. If the appearance becomes better, it's milk residue but if not, it is thrush and you should take your baby for treatment.

Thanks ma, I will try that first.

Good morning mamas. Pls I have a problem. Come 2 ny aid I beg. My baby is 6months n not due for the measles immunization. My aunt came visiting with her one year old son that has measles. I saw the rashes on his body. They came on sat n I stil saw the rash yesterday. What do I do pls. Can a 6months old contact measles? Can he receive d vaccine at 6months? Pls help me on what to do.

Hullo dear. Its possible for a 6month old to hv measles. If his mothet(u in dis case) , did nt receive d vaccine then there wont b any maternal immunity passedto him. Or if there was 'vaccine failure' in ur case. If ur child has measles already, DO NOT gv d measles vaccine. I ll say tk him to d hospital to b examined by a paed, so u ll b sure. Bt in all dont get too worked up. Next tym tho, protect ur infant frm such exposures. Cheers mama!

Some babies actually start teething as early as 2-3 months. @Fexcathy, u dont really hv to gv any drugs, just pcm if he has fever. Get d toy as suggested bt pls sterilize it properly

This exactly is happening to my 3mths old baby,i wanted to complain here but read yours too. I also thought its cattarh,i have tried many remedies,putting mentholatum inside warm water and rubbing it on his chest and nose,also putting drops of silverbird in his oil but it seems its not improving. Sabi mamas with experience pls come to our aid.
