EPP Please!!!

My 2weeks+ baby vomitted for 3 - 4times before daybreak, what can i do to help him.

N.B: he was circumsized 2days ago and have been giving him paracetamol, but he usually spit or reflux after the drug.

helovesme:



5ml is a lot for a baby that age. Some meds prescribed for babies that age are as little as 0.25ml.

Neurofen for example is 2.5ml for any baby less than 6 months.

Do you mind sharing the name of the drug that was prescribed? Is it an antibiotic? What is the purpose of the drug? Is your baby really ill to warrant the doctor prescribing an higher dose?

I'm aware of cases where doctors prescribe a dose lower than what's stated on the leaflet. It's all down to the experience of the Doctor/the ailment that's being treated and its severity.

It's JAWACLOX n IBUPROFEN SYRUP.

Na WA oh. Last I checked, ibruofen shouldn't not be given to a baby younger than 3 months undecided

Please don't tell me you were asked to give a few weeks old baby 5ml of ibruofen shocked shocked

3months to 6 months old is 2.5ml.

http://www.nurofen.co.uk/symptoms/infants-children/ibuprofen-dosage-calculator/

Do you mind sharing what ailment was diagnosed for your baby? Why was he prescribed antibiotics and such a strong pain killer/fever reducer?

Circumcision does not result in vomitting.

To d question, I ll answer ur paediatrician of course! I don't know what drug was prescribed bt is it really a paediatrician that prescribed it? if yes then pls before giving ur baby d drug, discuss ur worries wt him/her. Actually, most paediatric dosages are calculated based on weight nt necessarily age. Its very impt to trust /hv confidence in ur Dr. if that is lost, may b tym to change Dr.

Hmm I administered d overdose drugs for 6days b4 a visitor informed me. My baby's weight is not even d reason as we r still working on it. God is my eva present help ooo.
Tnx 4 ur suggestions.

Well lemme tell u wat i did,we r in da same both.
I read one old wive tale that taking uda water immediately after kpekus is how dy controlled conception those days.
Just boil uda seeds(if u r not igbo i dont know d english name) then sieve and drink d warm water immediately after kpekus.noting will happen.when u r ready to take in u just stop.although by then ur af will have returned.then u can plan ur cycle.
Well for now am taking chances with uda water.other mamas can give us advice too.

Lunch trial : frozen amala

Part 3:
Luch is ready:
Before: As good as freshly made: texture and taste retained. NICE!!!!

After:.... soup finished hence the last bit left in the bowl. I would happily eat this myself,


Verdit...... Score!!!! grin
Amala can be frozen and heated up later with fantastic results

When next i make, i shall cling film a few portions and freeze for later use!

Experiment is a success!

Tell your hubby that the implication of refusing to cooperate as per family planning could be stories that touch!

Tell him you will also not speak any English with him should stories that touch occur.

Quietly buy a pack of condoms and keep in the house my dear.

Explore family planning options with your Dr when next you are at the hospital.

That Uda method may work but I don't know a thing about it....

Mamas pls i have some questions o.

- What brand of breast pump do you recommend? The one that wont hurt my nipples. I'm thinking of getting Tomme Tippee manual pump. I want sth not more than 9k. If there is anyone way cheaper and effective, the better for me.

- How soon can someone travel by air locally after a c-section? And how soon i can travel by air locally with baby?

- If i'm travelling with baby by air, do i need to carrier? Anyone has any idea what kind of carrier is approved?

Sorry for my plenty questions. Pls senior mamas, help me with answers kiss kiss kiss

that uda stuff might work, i still have the one my mother brought during her omugwo visit but to they prepare the thing na another thing but i don't think i have a choice. @fortius that female condom would have been the best , the last time i went for immunization they were giving us lecture how to use it,:i didnt get their explanation at all,it looks like something that will slip inside if not well placed.@ babythug my dh refuses any form of family planning because of side effect and the fear that it might lead to secondary infertility(we ttc for some years b4 this baby hence the fear)as for the condom, that he cant use it to kpekus his own wife was his excuse.i have been closing the door to my vj..hmm anytime he knock since then .
thank you all for your contributions. .
Dis one doesnt all dose omugwo mendemende o.jus boil it alone.no salt or pepper.atmost add uziza.dazall.u can boil plenty sieve,pour in d bottle n store in the fridge. Then jus drink whenever u want.

1. I have an Avent manual pump and it works fine..but you might want to get an electric pump if you're going to pump often.
2. As soon as your comfortable and can sit up without any discomfort and your stitches have healed.
3. Babies can travel as early as two weeks old.
4. By carrier do you mean the baby carrier or a car seat. Anyway you'll be carrying you baby on your lap except you plan on purchasing a seat for him, you'll have to use a car seat.
A carrier to use around the airport is fine and no specifications.
Hope I answered your questions.

Yes. Thanks. I work from home so i might only pump once or twice for night use. I'll check for the Avent now. The electric pumps i saw are far above my budget.

In additin to what Beryl15 has said:

If you are using a baby carrier do be mindful and ensure you have fully healed as most carriers will strap across your waist/ lower abdomen if you are unsure or are still quite tender consider using a car seat on a buggy frame. The airline should be able to check this in for you at the door of the plane and return it to you when you get off the plane at your destination at no additional cost.

You can also carry the car seat with you on board and If the seat next to you is available you should be able to use it on board when the seat belt signs get turned off. If there is no space the car seat should fit in the overhead storage. If it doesnt, they will take it from you and put into the hold!.

If you are travelling alone, do consider how you will drag baby and carseat plus hand bag or luggage into the plane. If You are travelling with hubby or someone else... give them the carrier to use! Or let them do all the heavy lifting! grin
