Base is beeswax (it acts as a barrier so keeps moisture out). Then add coconut oil, Shea butter, Olive oil and then add whatever ingredients you like. Some people like a few drops of lavender essential oil or other healing oil. I'll post pics in a bit

My son does that sometimes. I dont think anything is wrong with her. Just keep petting her. Pele

People said its the baby in my womb that is shinning eyes for him thats why he is crying like that.

Lol, that's probably the issue. Thanks.

mummy2be:
pls check her ears Asap and observe if she wil react,when my DS son cried like that it was ear pain

Thanks. I check her ears frequently, she doesn't react to it.

favoredgal:

Maybe separation anxiety. Read up on it.
Whatever though, I'm sure it's just a phase. Hang in there

Thanks. She cries when I'm leaving for work but stops after some minutes. This one is just non-stop in my presence o.

Thanks mamas, I'm grateful. I will watch her for some days and if she persists, I'll take her to a paed.

Yes u can since he's almost 4 months. Get d cereal from 4months and try for him. Babies sure differ in their ways(growth and development)
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by zaynie(f): 3:28pm On Nov 21, 2015
@Ahnie, your bae is most likely teething.
Dip a towel in tap water( not warm or cold), wring and apply to head and body. You have to do this severally till temperature drops. You may also use normal dose of pcm for her age and watch how long it takes for the temp to rise again. If the temp persists after 3 days consult your Dr.

I dont use teething drugs o, so I dont have any to recommend to you. Pcm or Ibuprofen( when the fever is extraordinarily high) and wet clothe stuff always does the trick.


@ Smokeydrinky, if your baby is on EBF, you have no cause for alarm. Is he growing bigger? ( it means the baby is utilising all available nutrients and nothing goes to waste hence no poop), is the stomach constantly hard to touch?
You can try eating fruits or drink plenty ewedu soup. You will poop and so will your LO.
Dont give water if you are truly on EXCLUSIVE.


My own question, my baby's ear refused to heal after the piercing. It was bringing out pus despite the fact that we cleaned with spirit every 2hrs.We removed the earring and the tiny hole closed up. We had to re-pierce at the same spot and put thread. Now it looks dry but I am still afraid of putting earrings o.
Is there anything I can do now to prevent the ish again?

Your baby may have a nickel allergy like me....you can google it and read up

The solution is to buy a small gold earring (or any nickel free earring) for her.

I hear original GL earrings are also nickel free, don't know where to get tho

For my daughter I dint wait to find out if she had the allergies I just bought gold
