Most often that not,E nor dey give person wetin e nor fit carry, some babies will start watery akamu @ 1mth & look like a pears baby of the year, while some will have their mamas switching them from Similac to Enfamil to Aptamil back to Similac & still look like baby Alinco..

E go better for us all...

She only poos when i'm bathin her,she seldomly pupu insid her pampers

tchiwinnie:
How old s she? does she suck well? How often does she poo?

but now,we use like 9 diapers per day.and the poo z always watery n ropey.

Soya milk okay,but what type of cereal?

modath:


Since you can pinpoint when the poo drama began, just withdraw formula & let her go back to EBF, she might be lactose intolerant.

Try Soya milk with cereal for her from 4mths, if other commitments preclude EBF.

Hernyolar:


For babies with colic, it's advisable the mother avoid or reduce to the barest minimum,all diary products which includes milk. And this is just for a period of time, after 3months, colic tends to reduce in babies. After 2weeks of avoiding diary products, and if colic has'nt reduced, the mother can resume diary products back.

I discovered during mine that my baby's colic worsens if I take egg,coke,lacasera and beans.
It's just a suggestion.
Thank you

The coke, lacasera and beans points to excess gas. Milk is usually for those who are lactose-intolerant.

ahnie:
Zino z gonna b 4mnths on the 20th.yes she suchs very well.she poo's only when am bathin her,solid poo fah,but lately her poo has bn watery n ropey eva sinc i intro her into formular.

Stop d flagyl. Ensure u mix d formular properly. Follow d instruction on d tin. Ensure proper hygiene, sterilize her bottles etc properly. continue breastfeeding.

Lolz @ modath, na really alinco. Its all frm nature jare, all babies r diff datswat one has to undastnd, ther shud b no comparison just take care of ur own, d way u deem fit jare. N all will fall in2 place. My frnds 3mths daughter started. @ roughly 2 mths or evn less to drink pap. I was shocked bt she is healthy n evn almost as big as my LO dat is on EBF @ 5+.
D d gud lord dat gav us dese beautiful children take care of us n dem.

Pls make sure he dsnt get dehydrated o. If d poo is much give ORS n zinc den I suggest u change d formular if u r sure u r doing all d suggestions Tchiwinnie gave. God bless our los.

please mamas i have some questions to ask
1) How do/did you cope with midnight feeding of your LO? My DS keeps waking up in the night to feed, i want to wean him next month, how do i manage the night feeding?
2) can i give him biscuit? he is 9 months +

Cc Kimoni

My DS too wakes up like twice or thrice every night but I have a bottle of formula ready to give him cuz he stopped bf a long time ago. Each feeding process is usually about 5 -10 mins so it's bearable for me as I just tuck the bottle in his mouth. But what I also observe is that sometimes it's not really food he wants, he probably woke up due to some other reasons and needs only petting to get back to sleep. So before i feed him, I try to pet him back to sleep before introducing the bottle.

2)Sure, but avoid the one with lots of sugar and icing. Crackers work well for me.

Goodevening great mother and fathers in d house, am a ftm to a cute baby girl and i v been following dis thread since i delivered, hope am welcome.... May God bless our Los Amen

Thanks dear, please one more question, do you prepare the formula when he wakes, or you prepare and keep?

opella:


Thanks dear, please one more question, do you prepare the formula when he wakes, or you prepare and keep?

No, I prepare it very hot before I go to bed. That's like 11pm or 12am. I use the big Tommie tipppee bottle and store in a handy food warmer or I wrap it in some very thick clothes, it's sometimes more effective than the warmer.

I usually prepare room temperature milk for the twins. (sometimes when I make d milk, they don't drink) plus they got used to it from rushing to make food for them.

But most times, I'm too tired to hold a baby and bottle. I just carry d baby, chook brest and sleep off. Or sleep without a top on. So they just find their way to the food source #lazyTiredMom

Cc Kimoni

When you wean, night feeding will most likely reduce.

My baby used to wake up 4/5 times to feed, so at 10 months I started giving her cereal when she woke up. It was more stressful for me but it paid off because her waking up reduced to 2/3 times

At 11 months I stopped bfeeding completely and she started sleeping 12 straight hours

Sometimes it's the thought of the 'snack' that wakes them up, when they know there is nothing worth waking up for then they don't

And also bmilk may not be enough to hold them thru the night

Good morning mums,

I'm a FTM and dis is my first post here. My DS is 3weeks old. He seems to wriggle and cry a lot when breastfeeding.

I put him on his tommy when he sleeps and he still wriggles like he is in pains and keeps waking up.

Any ideas what dis could

I'm totally exhausted n just feel like crying.

Please help.

Hello great great mama's, please come to my aid. I never in my widest dream thought I will be in this situation even when this has been discussed severally here. My baby just clocked 6months. She's been on Exculsive breastmilk. While on EBF, I usually express whenever I wasn't home and she was been bottle fed. Even when we go out, we bottlefeed her with breastmilk and there's been no issue. But recently I noticed each time we try to bottle feed her with the breastmilk, she rather plays with the bottle teet or useses it to scratch her gum. I didn't see that as abigdeal anyway cosshe still ends up drinking it though it takes longer. Now she's on Enfamil and it's been war. Initially she will play with the teet and drink and play again. But nowshe doesn't even want. The moment I bring the bottle to her mouth, she starts pulling back. Initially I tried spoon, she took it but now bothe spoon and bottle is war. I've tried the ready to feed Enfamil and the powdered Enfamil, im tired. Though it's been two days we started ds journey. My husband has also tried to feed her samle thing. Didn't know we will have this issue cos she took the breastmilk well with the bottle. And prior to now she usually tries to eat our food whenever we eat. She struggles with my hand and tries to bring it to her mouth . So I knew she was ready to start on solid.
Pls mama's, what do we do. I have similac too at home, shld I try that with her, maybe it's enfamil taste she doesn't like or continue to battle with her till she accpets the bottle. Thanks all

Your baby is ready for next stage of food. try any rice cereal or pap mixed with her formula. my dd also rejected formula at 6 months. Dont expect her to finish the new food at once oh. na small small then the quantity increases.

@kodylicky, ur baby most probably has colic. No need to gt exhausted or cry. Its something dat ll pass.

ahnie:
@nurse kaffy,pls my DD is pooing randonly,i hav given her flagyl,for wia,she is stil pooing.what shud i do.she z losin weight.

My baby purged for one week 2 days. Its was frustrating seeing my chubby baby lose weight drastically. I was giving zinc and ors.
