My baby old is 4month old and is vomit what should i do

sayoberry:
I AF come again with my comlain
So I kind of regret (small) that I allowed my twin boy suck his thumb. But acutaLly anytime he sucks, I get to concentrate on his really over attachy sister and now my boy is sooo used to it that in d middle of fEeding he pushes the breas,t away and slips in his thumb.
That one by the side.
Now his thumbs are charred, white with red blisters anD I think it pains him Too.

I tried all methods to make him 'rest' the thumb a bit. From bitterleaf to plasters to mittens and even wrapping him. D boy go suck anything o, chew d mitten till its soaked, start rolling everywhere when wrapped etc.

One mama told me that I should make sure he is full with every feeding so the sucking will reduce. It did work-for sometime. But once he eats till he's about to exlode, he falls sleepy and when I put him down to sleep- in goes the thumb.

Any other remedy
Pls
And I've googled it. But NA oyinbo method dem put.

Eumaca:
My 4months baby poos 4-5 times in a day for abt one week now. Pls is it normal?

joyousf:


Is the baby on any drugs like antibiotics? cos antibiotics can have that side effect on some babies. If that is the cause once the baby stops taking it, it will stop.

Or did u introduce any formula or food? check that as well. it could also be an infection. it's not okay for ur baby to poo so much o. water na the major constituent of their body. U can give him/her ORS to help restore d water and electrolytes lost. Take the baby to see the doctor asap just to be sure things are ok

SweetDinma:

My baby's face is fairer than her body, could it be Ella?

jam04:
Wow!! So this thread is still active. This is so good

MiracleMum:


I didn't see any cctv but I was told they uninstalled it while renovating and it will be installed soonest.

Kimoni:
@sayoberry/miraclemum - you can try soothers. It's easier to control the addiction of soothers than thumbs.

MumZ:


No, my son's face is a bit lighter dan his body. Wen my DD had Ella, her cheeks were lighter dan d rest of her face. D difference was very obvious.

sayoberry:


By soothers you mean pacifiers and teethers right?
Done those two. The pacifier is lyinh useless-he would spit it out!

babythug:


You should just counsel the boy on the dangers of thumb sucking

sayoberry:


He's 5 months old! How do I start? Won't he just roll his eyes and look away like "what's this woman talking about"?

Mamas in d house I hail o. Hw vigilante dey go?
My 8 week old DS cries a lot dis days, most times for no reason and inconsolably. Dnt knw if its dis colic tin I hear about and sumtyms he puts his fist in his mouth dnt knw if it cld be teething? Anyone wit same experience?

Rashomo:


mummy, let me be candid wit u,dere is nothing can do dan to make sure u always remove it from his mouth,u have to be careful of all dos tins u put on his hand in order for him not to suck..Once dey Are Addicted to it...hmm..IT IS BETTER TO PREVENT THEM THAN WANTING TO STOP IT LATER..

sayoberry:


I wish I had prevented earlier and at d same time I'm always at ease when he sucks(I have to confess) for example when I'm having a difficult time with both of them-crying together for no reason I know, once d boy finds his fingers in his mouth he is at peace, while I would have to carry twin girl, sing, clap, dance-and cry sef if need be.
Since I can't find any method (cos removing it all d time doesn't work-i tried it too) ill just shut my eyes till we get a remedy

Rezzy ur post made me laugh. With the blisters too I tot he was going to stop.

Babythug, ill be watching u in 5D

I guess your a FTM..#smiles. At 8 weeks, your baby can't start teething. Its common for babies to put hands in their mouth. The crying is as a result of colic. How do u lay him down to sleep? I wouldn't go into much home remedy for colic as I'm certain it must have been treated extensively on the thread

corrall:


@jam04 please mention home remedies o, the thread is so long that we can't even begin to search for it.

My 5 weeks old is so gassy, she is not crying sha. Just farting anyhow, she has not pooed for 2 days now. I am not doing EBF. I don't know what to do.

nefertitiram:
are you giving her enough water?

U also need to watch your diet. Try drinking a lot of juice.. esp orange juice. She will get it grm breatmilk

Your baby isn't crying cos she farts. One home remedy I will recommend for you is massage. Massage your baby stomach region and the back. You can also lay her down on tommy but stay with her throughout. Stroke the back as well. Also make sure you remove diary product from your menu. Cheers

MumZ:


Pls don't introduce all at 1ce, so u ll know if she reacts 2 ny1. U can introduce 1 in 2wks. And rice based cereals is easily digestible dan wheat.
