Hello vigilante Mamas, my LO is a month old but strains n grunts each tym he sleeps, dis gives me so much concern. Dnt knw wat to do? Anyone wit d same exp?
Secondly what kind of food can I eat to boost my breastmilk supply? Tnks for prompt response.

My 1st child did it a lot frm 3 weeks,went 2 d hosp nd doc said nothin so my mum's sis came nd said its either stomach pain due 2 d navel or d baby will be fat(trust yoruba mamas now)I will press d navel well wt warm water while bathin him nd use lantern in d afternoon(pls ask 4 directn b4 u try it o).bt true 2 her word d boy is veeeery big

[quote author=sheweezy post=35421669]According to grandmas they say it is inuwo in yoruba meaning colic in English. When I took him to the hospital, the doctor said he will outgrow it and we should not administer any drug. So i v left him. I also notice it is reducing sha. My Lo poos alot o, dont even know if it is after every feed but I observed it's quite a lot and was told it's normal. The quantity of the poo is always small, except maybe once or twice a day that it is much.
I dont think we should worry much about these things.

Yea they ar very correct cos my baby spent d 1st 2 mnths in d village.its inuwo nd he wil outgrow it bt press well wt hot water 2 relief him

@ 2mths baby is definitely 2 small. I tink I started @ 4mths or so. So saying I want 2 let u know its an addictive habit. My DS got so used 2 dat style of breastfeeding dat after I started work I 2 always back him cos once I want 2 put him down he expected me 2 lie wit him wit breast in his mouth. Itwas a sstressful situation. So wit my DD I always got up 2 breastfeed even @ night until she got used 2 sleepn off wen I put her down. But laziness has set in n I now breastfeed her lying down @ night which means weaning her ll b very difficult wen d time comes. But I feel its 2 early 2 lie n breastfeed a 2mths old baby. Pele.

Yes better than friso...

@ Mummy Lovinam, this purity food u are talking about is better than friso gold rice, right?

shndy:
Ma'am is it better than Gerber?

I'm not sure, but the cereal is really good. They also have fruit puree.

dunnybaby26:
That's comfort breastfeeding o,once he is usd 2 itt,he won't fall asleep on his own nd weaning wil be a problem.I advise u stop it nd let him fall asleep wt lullaby,my hubby has a song 4 d children which includes their names nd up till nw even my 3 year old cn fall asleep wen he sings it.sing nd sing instead of breastfeedin in case u leave him wt someone 2 go out.

Thanks o .. I will gradually wean him of it... God help me. cos he is almost 5 months now.

Thanks ma,its heald 4eva IJN,I was so scared dt it became a prayer point during morning nd night devotion.I also block d ear up till now while bathin him as advised by a mother here.thanks 4 ur concern nd God bless.
NB:I was tld its likely he caught d infection cos I brestfed him lying down.

How is your kid? Doing better I hope?

dunnybaby26:
Eeya sori my sis,ws also wonderin wen u tld me d doc said u shld cont cos I was told otherwise bt wanted u 2 confirm first.some children stop on their own at dis stage so dnt beat ursef 2 it,jst giv him a good milk nd ur gynae shld recommend supplement 4 d baby o cos weaning cn make them feel weak at ds stage.

Thank you. She takes NAN and Friso wheat. I will soon go and buy one or two other cereal types for her. That should help with weaning. God will keep them for us.

It is not advisable 2 allow babies sleep unsupervised facing down cos of choking

People that travel to America to deliver don't come back with a baby by road. Please read her question again before advising.

If you have a water heater in your bathroom, let the hot water flow continously while you sit in a chair with your baby in the bathroom. And if no water heater, put hot water in a bucket and sit close to it with your baby in an enclosed bathroom. The steam should get to your baby that way. Though I added a drop of Eucalyptus oil but my baby was 3months, eucalyptus oil may be too harsh for a 1 month. My daughter's paed advised I give her Vit C daily.
