Good evening wonderful mamas. New mum in d house, hope I'm welcome.
Pls my 16dy old baby is always gassy. He hardly burps after feeding, I've tried every method I knw, only for him to start wriggling in pain like 30 mins later with bloated stomach. he only settles after farting & this sometimes doesn't come easily, massaging his stomach only helps a few times. Pls help a first time mum. It really bothers me to see him in pains.
cc nurse kaffy4bill, tchiwinnie & other sabi mamas

Sorry mama, u can try burping him in between feeds and also try bicycle kicks to relieve the stomach

His tummy is so small and most babies dont digest formula so well as newborns (constipation is common), so maybe a drop of water might do the trick. My mum gave Baby E some water as a newborn (though doctors don't recommend it). But please only a drop, infact use one of those medicine syringes and measure just a drop, in the morning after his bath. Some people say put a cottonbut with Vaseline up the baby's butt, I did this but was too scared to go in and it didn't work for me.

Maybe others can help you.

Pls take your baby to the hospital and run d jaundice test to know the level, the hospital you delivered should have done this test before you left, if you dont see improvement pls take baby to the hospital for treatment. Had this with my two babies and I usually spend 10days in d hospital after been discharged to treat them, the last one even did exchange blood transfusion cos his test result was over 18..


You need to know if its increasing or reducing.

Wonderful mothers in the house I greet you all. Pls am new to this thread and I just put to bed. My baby is four days now and I just notice that the white part of her eyes had turned yellow and the color of her skin is not normal. I went to see my Doc. and he said is a minor jaundice that I should keep giving her water and glucose it will clear in few days. Pls has anyone experience this? Also she do have this heavy hiccups that come minutes by minutes.

Good Evening Sabi Mamas,
I am a concerned Dad, at 7months is it ok for my LOs to start taking foods like mashed potatoes, and egg yokes? They take pap and various cereals ATM.

Thanks

My paed in the US said the same thing and went a step further to say sometimes really diluted prune juice works faster than water (I tried it first on myself though and it was a "bit too efficient". Formula and breast milk formulation are so very different that formula isn't really properly digested by babies (so it causes constipation) and breastmilk is so well digested, baby can go for upto a week without pooing (which then scares ft parents). So hang in there, maybe it's time to change the formula or maybe you're adding too much powder and it's not mixing well (add powder to water and not the other way round). Are you breastfeeding at all? Any little breast milk is better than nothingn

If you feel the constipation is bad and water isn't doing the trick, a few teaspoons of fresh orange juice would work too.

What always work for me is fruits. Whenever I notice my baby isint pooing freely, I go to market, buy different fruits, blend them together and take it myself. It always helps him. Vegetable also helps.

Try Princess Med Centre @ bewac Trans Amadi. My daughter was treated there and their treatment is very thorough. They ran test every morn to ascertain d level of Jaundice and was placed under photo therapy but when it was too high for photo therapy to handle EBT( ExchangeBloodTranfusion) was done.
