Tnx @mom2Zee for d enlightenment, I sincerely apr8. She has started eating though little on day 2 of ha medication. God bless u.

mom2Zee:

if the multivitamin contains iron and vitamin c,yes it will affect the antimalarial action of the drug.
you can give vit bcomplex syrup instead.
moreover loss of appetite could be from the malaria (that is if it was confirmed she has malaria)
keep giving the meals gradually. She will pick up.
She will be fine don't worry

@Julie2015, my 2nd had serious reflux. Pls don't give nospamin again instead you can give infacol. Drug or no drug, she will outgrow it before 6months of age.
Burp always after feeding, though she will still vomit as she belches. Hv enough towels handy. Don't forget to massage her tummy lightly during bath. It's well, fret not, it's a phase.

Gud day mams.
My 6months old baby takes only adult food,he refuses pap,cereals bt takes amala wt ewedu,mashed irish potaton,egg yolk. Hope ds are nt 2 much 4 him(he is a preemie).help a ftm,he is veri active

@julie2015, I know a lot has bn said abt ur baby, my DS is now 4 months and he also had all symptoms u listed even up till now although nt as much as before. My little advice is feed I'm upright position and allow him to belch as often as possible in between meals, also don't lie him down immediately after feeding, keep extra handkerchief around when feeding and anytime you are going out. Raise the head of the bed or use pillow when he sleeps. Feed him frequently but with small amount of BM. Ensure that he doesn't rush the BM that is remove and express in a towel or cup when you feel the let down reflex because the moment he rushes it in, there is tendency to rush it out. I also tried some drugs but none seems to work so just believe that he is going to be fine.

Pls mamas, what can I give my 6wks baby to help him gain weight. He weighed 2.5kg at birth, he was preterm & now weigh 3.4kg at 6wks. I ws told he is underweight at d clinic. He poops during each meal. He was on ebf before, just introduced formular this week & it's stil d same thing. Sabi mamas, Pls wat can i do to help him gain weight.

am sure ur baby is fine now. It may interest u to knoW that preterms catch up on weight, height, and headcircumference, at different times with those of their term mates. the nurse most likely didn't put that into consideration when she said that.

Thanks a lot @cutienik

Hello mamas, pls my 3mths &2wks son has low pvc. He's on bM n formular. I'm really worried

Hello mamas, pls my 3mths &2wks son has low pvc 29%. He's on bM n formular. I'm really worried

zaynie:



I dont think food poisoning can cause fever, he might be teething. Also try the using wet rag to bring the temperature down between doses of pcm.
The poop may be as a result of a change in diet. As long as it isnt runny or with mucus/ blood, I dont think you should be worried.

What?
Not the cleaning rag tho

Nothing to be worried about, am sure your pead gave you some drugs. Babies pvc tend to increase faster than that of adults, in my lo's case, within 3weeks of medication it reached 38% from 26%. Feed baby very well

If Your baby is fine all through and through with no yellow eyes, then there is no need to worry. 3 months is the time the PCV is at its lowest in every baby. It will pick up again. Just continue Feeding him like you are doing and the PCV will pick up again.

Pls madam, castor oil is not safe for babies, pregnant mothers and lactating mothers. Normal for EBF babies to go for days without defecating, as long as he is passing gas, he s perfectly okay. don't be scared. keep breastfeeding him.

@drAdai,thanks for your comment. @eminya thanks I was given blood tonic n I was told to make sure he's formula is iron fortified ...he takes Nan @ zaynie, the test was conducted in a lab, d result was reviewed by a doc

For the treatment of alefo You can try bathing the child with red acalypha leaves. Herbal practitioners would usually sell it. Google so you know what it is. Use for bathing not drinking oh.

Mamas pls i need ur help i am seriously losing it. Pls my baby is showing symptoms of reflux dat is she spits after every feed, even vomitted yesterday, gets hiccup often, feels pain and streches his body and back in pain after feeding, makes grunting sound like someone in deep pains, hardly sleep in her back without milk coming out from her nose n mouth, i put her to sleep on her tummy but yet she wakes up often winkling in pain, i dnt know wat to do, i hav been giving her nospermin, gripe water yet none seems to work, wen eva she is suckin once milk enter her stomach she will start struggling in pain, but she hardly cry or scream she endure it alot, it hurt me to always see her in dat pain. Pls Mamas anyone experenced dis before? She is 2weeks old and on EBF. Pls any tip on how to handly this will be highly appreciated. Cc favouredgal Pls i read u had a baby like dis sometime ago Pls help a sister how did u cope. Am seriously losing weight and sleep over dis

The symptoms definitely sounds more like colic than reflux, except it's silent reflux

Spit ups are normal

With reflux my daughter used to PROJECTILE VOMIT after MOST meal and scream when it was time to eat.

So Why not take her to the hospital for proper diagnosis?

Nospermin and gripe water doesn't even work for colic talk less about reflux Stay away from those things

Infant gestacid is usually recommended for reflux sha - dint get it to buy here in Naija

Either ways if its colic (which I suspect strongly) it will be outgrown at roughly 3 months so hang in there. My daughter outgrew her reflux by her first birthday she is now 2 plus.
The ff tips will help either colic or reflux

1. Ensure she burped after every meal and she don't use to burp easy at all - sometimes it took as much as 30 mins to get a burp out of her

2. Hold her upright after every meal for at least 30 mins, don't be in a hurry to put her to lie down

3. Breastfeed and avoid bottles or use any ok colic bottles such as dr miracle

4. You the mum - Avoid dairy products, beans products and similar foods

5. Put her to nap / sleep on her tummy - supervised cuz of SIDS and slightly elevate her head by putting books under the leg of the cot or blanket under her head

All the best, both are extremely hard to deal with but remember it passes. I pray it's colic not reflux - only because colic passes faster. Email me if you need anything

Oh tanx my able mamas for all ur encouragements and advice. I did most of the tins u mentioned today and she was a bit relieved not as bad as previous days. I will also try to eliminate some food from my diet. Tank u all for being there for me. I really appreciate.

Chinyeaka85:


[/color]Good evening mamas. Please apart from eating well to improve breastmilk, is there any drug I can take (maybe supplement or cod liver oil)?. I was given ferobin plus after I put to bed. I'm asking because sometimes I find it hard to eat cos of lack of appetite. Thanks.

Buy pregnacare breastfeeding or pregnacare new mum, they are all post natal suplements. Pregnacare breastfeeding is #3200 and pregnacare new mum is 2500 here in Onitsha. I am personally using pregnacare breastfeeding.

Dear Chinyeaka85, what is the dosage like for pregnacare breastfeeding , 2+1 every day, are the three to be taken at once or 1 capsule +1 omega 3 in the morning and the remaining 1capsule @ night?

Good morning everyone. Please I have a quick question, would really appreciate answers from mothers here or anyone who is generally knowledgeable. Where is the best region for a newborn to take an IM injection? Thigh or buttock?
