soonest:

Since you people have been discharged from hospital that means his bilirubin level(jaundice) is under control. Like Rezzy said, early morning sun is good and also feed baby well.
Note that the eyes don't get white suddenly. It's gradual only make sure it's not getting more yellow.

rezzy:


You can put him under morning sun for some minutes everyday. I took mine outside for 30 minutes everyday till I saw improvement. (my doctor told me me this)

I also used unripe pawpaw water. You soak unripe pawpaw inside water and give him some drops everyday. I didn't like this method but my MIL and mother gave it to him. They said that was what they used in their time.

All sabi mamas will answer you.

Pls mums I need your help.My soon to be 6 months old doesn't like water.He was exclusively breast fed but I've been giving him cereal(I forced 4 to 5 spoons down his throat)but he refused to take water.Now that I want to start giving him mashed potatoes and other semi solids,he would definitely need water,pls can I mix ribena with his water?That will be sweet and I'm guessing he might take it.He would be 6 months next Monday

Yes include Ribena but just a 'dash' to avoid funny poo. That is about a cap full (using the cover of the Ribena bottle)mixed with about 120-125ml of water.

Sheweezy and any other mama's, please let the banana start going brown before pureeing it. At that point of almost going bad, it tastes very sweet (all its natural sugars). Red apples are sweeter amd anything green, most kids hate them (sweetpeas, green beans, avocado). Which is why i liked that sweet potato-titus fish mix, i could smuggle the green peas in it. Baby E likes potato chips (and she has no teeth, she uses her gums to mash it and likes it as a gum massager) and her eyes light up when she sees Garden eggs (weird because I don't like the taste of it particularly). Meanwhile, all those Cow And Gate cereals drove her mad with vex. I think all babies don't like eating but get used to the different flavours and more importantly, textures, eventually. Just keep trying.

Aim07:

buy zinc tablet and give him 1 tab per day. continue to give him ors water as much as possible.

babythug:


Diarrhea is a viral infection and sometimes* should be left to run its course. If the baby has stopped pooping watery stools and is eating well and no fever plus appears normal i think you should just let him be!

Let him remain well hydrated though!

helovesme:


1)How long as he had the cough and catarrh?
2)Any fever?
3)Does he feed well?
4)Does he make a "whistle" or "wheezing" or uncomfortable "snoring" noise while sleeping especially at night?
5)Any improvements with the antibiotics?
6)As he's 3 months old, there are OTC cough syrups he can take. Have you tried any? If yes, any improvements?
7) have you tried elevating his head at night using pillows?

mbula:


thanx dear for ur concern....the catarrh has gone.he coughs once or twice a day.no fever ever since he had d cough and catarrh, he is feeding very very well.he had d wheezing sound and snored right in front of d doc that was why x ray was asked to be done on him.he has never been uncomfortable during sleep at day or night.there has been a big improvement since I started d last antibiotics on wednesday last week after d x ray was done.today is d last day of d antibiotics.there have been serious improvement after taking the antibiotics. but doc referred me to ENT doc due to d x ray.i am revealed alot.i know God will make is smile again.....

Fantastic. this is what i was expecting to read.

personally, i would ignore that doctor's diagnois of adeniod and do not agree to any talk of surgery.

my son had similar symptons at 4-6 weeks (minus the cold and catarrah) and i took him to see my doctor. he told me that at that age, babies nasal passage and respiratory organs are small and they are still growing, so it is not unusual for some babies to make such funny noises while sleeping. he told me that he would outgrow it. he didnt ask me to do any xray or prescribe antibiotics. true to his words, my baby has outgrown it and he sleeps very quietly and the breathing noises have stopped.

in your case, the funny noises might be as a result of the blocked nose. i was told that when babies have a cold, they accumulate mucus at the bridge of their nose/upper respiratory tract. unfortunately, unlike adults, they are unable to voluntarily sneeze or blow their noses to get rid of the mucus.

finish the dose of antibiotics and make sure he's well dressed and covered (both night and day - whether the weather is warm or not). before my baby got his cold, my mum kept accusing me that i wasnt dressing him properly and that it was better for a baby to have heat rashes than cold/pneumonia. in retrospect, she was right. the stress involved in dealing with heat rash is nothing compared to the sleepless nights and anxiety thats involved in catering to a child with cold/cough.

read my previous post. i listed the home rememdies that worked for my baby regarding cold/blocked nose.

babythug:


Have u seen a dr?

Did she get any antibiotics? Calamine lotion is used to help with managing the rash from measles and also to prevent scars thereafter. it may help with the skin peel that you have mentioned

Keep the lips moisturized with shea butter or vaseline. I believe colour should be restored soon

thanx love for takingnout time to talk to me.may God bless u . first let me confess I contributed to my son's cold and catarrh cuz I use to expose him because he sweats alot.i started covering him some days before going to d hospital last week and I have seen alot of improvement though he is having heat rashes now but I don't mind.i was always being told not to expose him but I use to pity him when he sweats and didn't want rashes....of the truth, I have seen alot of improvement from when I started covering him but day and night and the last antibiotics I just started giving him.

he is sleeping right now, no sound whatsoever is being heard unlike before.i am keeping my calm cuz I know oluwa is involved in his matter.

once again thanx so muh love for taking out time to encourage me.i appreciate. God bless u

shrekandfiona:

His eyes will clear with time. My LO is 4 months plus & his is as white as snow in contrast to being yellow with blood streaks at birth till about 2 months. Do NOT apply anything o.

I never put him out in the sun cos he put under the light while in the nursery. Was told as long as He is eating & pooing well, no cause for alarm. So relax dear

babythug:


I don't see how a soap used on the surface of the body can help to alleviate any teething issues. Teething occurs on the inside of the body! Some of the soaps though good may have a drying effect (due to the constituents)on some babies skin, so be careful before you use it.

gerber yoghurt is nice he can take it

This is a decision you have to take but personally I wouldn't recommend processed drinks for now (and avoid as much as possible). It's full of processed sugars that don't absorb so well and why not try natural sugars? I don't know many doctors or nurses who would give a 6 month old Ribena. Why not try a sweet fruit and mix with water? Oranges right now are not sweet (not their season) but there's something your child likes (watermelon, pineapple, Apple, carrot), you just have to find it. That's just my opinion though.

Good eating habits are hard to establish and all these processed stuff are convenient but come at a price. And we don't fully understand it yet but the people who invented most of them are now endorsing a more organic lifestyle. Food for thought.
