pls nid ur advice. lo is 2month n hasnt poo. since yesterday. we never he want to he strecth n strain himself. but I can't bear it.all I do is put metholatum in is anus. n he will poo. since yesterday he has been tryn to poo.with d sound he makes,yet nothing came even wen I did d metholatum stuff. I do gv him agbo Jedi. although he try to refuse it even water he won't take.except breastmilk n nan. pls help a mother

Mama, please why are you giving your baby agbo? Taking herbs or agbo is very dangerous for us adults, say less babies.
You are endangering that baby. Please stop

Herbs may be good, however, not being sure of how it was prepared and even the exact measurements of ingredients used, makes it a health hazard.

Like a mother has already stated, I think Vaseline in the anus, is better than mentholathum. Have you tried oranges? Depending on baby's age, you can give the freshly squeezed orange or take the orange yourself and allow baby suck it from your boobs.

Brown skin your baby is 2 months old and? why in God's sweet name are you giving Agbo? Please biko ejor stop giving your baby whose digestive system isn't developed such stuff, I also think the Metholatum is harsh, if you drink enough fluids and breast feed and /or prepare d formula as recommended your little one should be fine. FYI even as adults not everyone of us gets to poo everyday. Please relax your baby isn't sick and doesn't need any forms of drugs to b stuffed in his system just now.

What if I told you palmoil and sugar?
My son had a nasty cough ( accompanied by vomitting) and as usual passed it on to his lil sister.
Cough that defied 3 different types of syrups ( for the big bro o).
The ijebu woman who witnessed him coughing asked me to mix St Louis sugar, one cube and palmoil. I just yinmu-ed. The next day, he was coughing so much ( not responding to his meds) that I told my husby we had to see his cardiologist. I remembered the sugar and decided to try it....nothing to lose nah.
Half a spoon and the cough ceased! shocked
The sister too wanted to show herself, I sama her......silence!
That was how we did for 2 days o!.



It works!!!!!

Happy birthday to your cuties nggie & sheweezy. God bless them. My prince turned one on June 4th. Nairaland refused to open. May God bless our LOs. Amen. Make Una do come go again o cheesy.

Mamas please torchlight my matter small. My son walked like two weeks ago but I've noticed that he still crawls more. I was thinking that when once they walk, they rarely go back to crawling. Is this normal? Thanks.


He crawls cos it gets him to his destination faster than toddling grin

Hello my people, it's been a while here.
Please mothers with very sweaty babies how do u cope in this weather? My baby sweats alot and develops heat rash that itches anytime i wear her long sleeves sleepsuit to sleep how can i help her in this cool weather without her catching cold?
Can i switch straight up to our normal full cream milk instead of peak123 and co?
Thanks

Why dont you wear her a thick short sleeved body suit with socks and then cover her up with flannel, that way the cold doesnt hit her directly and her skin gets to breathe.

I do gv him agbo Jedi. although he try to refuse it even water he won't take.except breastmilk n nan. pls help a mother

Few questions:
1st: Do YOU poo everyday?
2nd: Do YOU have metholatum put up your anus when you havent pooed in a day or at any other time for whatever other reason?
3rd : Do YOU take agbo every day you dont poo?
4th: Do you know for certain EVERY herb, stick, twig and liquid and prep mode used in the preparation of this agbo you are givng him?
5th : Do you know that there are chemicals and things in a good number of herbs, plants and extracts that although good for adult use can affect the developement (both mental and physical )of babies and small children?

Please go and read the pack of ANY metholatum product and it should say for EXTERNAL USE ONLY!

Your child is only 2 months..... stop all this abuse to his system abeg. It is absolutely unnecessary. Even the suggestions of vaselin i totally disagree with. These are are all products designed for external use and are NOT for lubrication of internal orifices.

It is absolutely normal for babies to go up to a week without pooing. If your baby is constipated, which i dont even think he is, the issue is not the anus, which is just the back door at the end of the digestive system letting out what has gone into the system, tackle the source.. and what goes into the mouth.

Since he is both formular and breastfed, Try giving him water in a cup or even a plastic teaspoon spoon.a few sips at a time is all you need. And ensure the formular is prepared as per manufacturer's instruction.

I know my lo has associated her bottles with milk if i try and put anything else in it.... i get a look of absolute betrayal.

Also try gently tummy massages as part of your bathtime routine ( but even this will not guarantee a poo everyday)

-get a bowl with a lid ( I used that tiny Gerber glass jar)
- crush a cube of sugar in it ( the woman insisted it should be St Louis o).
- add palmoil to it so that it is neither too thick nor too loose.
Give him half a spoon.
The coughing will subside for like 2-3 hours.
Let me know whether it works or not so I can either shut my mouth or spread the gospel grin.

This mixture works more than drugs, my dad usual gives us when we were young, and it works. ours was with honey but since baby can't honey, sugar is advisable. I almost gave it to my baby last week but was think she isn't of age but now that you use it for your Lo, am so using it next time she has cough.How old is your Lo

Hi mama,

Try substituting normal milk with soya milk for his cereals and beverages. Other plant based milk such as rice milk, almond milk and coconut milk can also be used if you can find. You could also use lactose free milk, not sure they sell them in naija though.

Increased White blood count is usually a sign your body is fighting off an infection of some sort or it could be as a result of his allergies.
I dont want to stress you out anymore but If it is constantly high it may be a sign of something more serious.. Ask your doctor to run the tests again since he has has finished the medication and try and get a referal for a heamatologist or go find one yourself if your doctor starts speaking too much english. A blood specialist is likely to shine some light on the reason for the high levels if it doesnt reduce.

Good luck.

Hi Mamas, just thought to share my experience with pesky embarrassing,disturbing persistent rashes n wart looking reactions on baby's skin, I took an all round approach to fight the occurrence. ( My operation Lafia dole).
When home during the day I bath my LO like 3 to 4 times daily, stay with diapers only and in the evenings when the temperature reduces I wear a light body suit and after 9pm I add on a full PJ.
I also have had to stop using Ariel detergent completely for babys laundry. I discovered it was fuelling the fire. If you can afford it you can buy Dreft detergent otherwise buy some milder detergent like sunlight, give clothes a good rinse after wash ,I mean several times . If you have a washer please wash clothes at 60degrees celcius, or be sure to use baby care setting.
Lastly rising raven powder is also a good one but be careful to not have your baby inhale too much of it to avoid another reaction.
Have a beautiful weekend all.Godbless our hussles.

Hello everyone, my 15 months old started walking 2 weeks ago but she can only take 10 steps. In a day she may decide not to walk at all. Most times, if we try to make her stand she will sit down or start crying. I don't know what to do because she is tall and people are always asking.
