Does your baby's poo look like the image below? shiny, glistening strings means there's mucus in it. This sometimes happens when a baby is especially drooly, since mucus in saliva often goes undigested.

But mucus in poop is also a telltale sign of an infection or allergy. If it's accompanied by any other symptoms or shows up in your baby's diaper for two days or more, call the doctor to rule out any problems.

4 if I remember correctly! 3 injections. 1 on each thigh, 1 on the arm and an oral drop (Rota). But then check your babies card am sure the nurses should note down what vaccine your baby is due for next .

If you mean at 14weeks, my baby was given Oral polio vaccine3, penta3, PCV3 and IPV. I think She was given injection on both arm and one on the lap.

Tnks my dear,as I'm nt a nurse now...they used dat their scale for measuring babies...he was actually 2.5kg @birth,tnks dear.
It's not good enough for the nurse to just weigh without checking the weight against a baby's weight chart and also comparing his previous recorded weight before arriving at a "diagnosis" of possible obesity. It's just wrong. Was his length and head circumference also checked?

To further allay your fears, I have checked a baby's weight chart using your baby's age and weight. He is within the 75th percentile which is very okay smiley

My son was weighed today and my health visitor is pleased with his results. As he's more active now, his weight is within the 75th percentile (last weight check at 10weeks he was at the 91st percentile) and this matches with his head circumference while his length is in the 91st percentile.

So your baby's weight is very okay

Bathing a newborn with cold water is just wrong. If the baby is 'hot', then clothing should be taken off. Eg. The wool cap and shawl. the baby should be dressed in a light sleep suit. At day 3, I was asked not to wear the wool cap for my son at all indoors because the midwives felt the room was too warm as I always had the heating on.

Bathing three times daily is also putting the baby through unneccesay distress. Bath time for a newborn is a major activity so doing it 3 times a day is just too much.

pepsi,bread n tea,biscuits n eba @ 4 months? Maybe the patents are low on cash and are overly quick to wean the child. I can still excuse bread and tea. But Pepsi, biscuits and eba? shocked

Newborn bathing thrice daily? Why? what for? The pikin na bricklayer? And even cold water? No mater how hot the weather is newborn babies should only be bathed with warm/lukewarm water because they can't yet regulate their temps and might lose body heat which they so need quickly!

As for that pepsi, biscuit, tea, EBA and bread for a four month old? That mother should be arrested angry that babies digestive system is being OVER WORKED! Big time. I pray for that unfortunate baby cry

Pls am sure you must have tried warning her of the danger and am also certain she'll tell you its not wrong embarassed
Please try and warn her to desist from such unhealthy approch to child rearing.
