If you do this regularly, be careful that you are not inadvertently training your baby not to be able to poo without the use of warm water in the anus!

Doing a poo should be a natural process, if you consistently have to physically aid the system.... that is a problem.

Lol tell that one to all my nieces and nephews who also passed this stage. The oldest amongst them will be 7years tomorrow 4th Oct and he poops without water aid. The youngest (before my baby) is a year and 3months and poops well right now. Am not new to this one. And thought you said it is "stupidier" according to you for a parent to take advice from any online "moniker".. Thank you but I like my own way.

I officially stopped at 6weeks but my mom still makes me drink it whenever she is around. She says I have to drink it till 6months grin grin. I'm 12weeks pp.

Meanwhile please when can I start getting my baby to sit? She will be three months in a few days. I tried it a few times last week but my mom kept screaming that i want to "tigi ya n'obi". She says to wait till four months which I think is too far. I sit behind her and also place a wrapper in between her legs for support. Is it really too early? Also when can I start tying her hair small small with fancy ribbons. We no get hair but we will try with the little we have grin grin. Can I start now or to wait a little while?

Also, apart from baby cereals, what else can i feed my baby once she clocks four months? Can she take pureed fruits? Egg yolks? What other foods? I want to be prepared for when i go back to work so I want to start putting things in place now.

Finally, when is the max time a baby can take rotavirus? My hospital keeps saying they don't have it available for now (HMO tinzz). She is already 12weeks old. @queensnow and @kathycouture when you bought the vaccine, did you administer it yourselves or took it to a hospital to have it administered? Mama also @queensnow please release the secret to having twins Na. I don't mind only one more missionary journey.

Madam, Do try read a post properly before you proceed to make premature comments which are grossly out of context!

As you say its your child. you can insert any thing in any orifice that you desire.

Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by hunniesuzie: 12:38pm On Oct 03, 2017
Only you all these questions grin grin

Sitting they say 4 months, I say work with your baby's cues. If she's already trying to sit, support her. If not, let her figure it out. Don't know about tying hair
4 months please only give cereal that has 4+ written on it (Heinz is the brand) you ideally shouldn't start solids till she's 6 months. You can also give some pap
Rota no clue

Giddyperson how is your baby this morning?
We are fine, thanks for asking. Just came back from the hospital after collecting two injections. She seems to be doing better this afternoon, I hope it lasts. Hospital people have bluntly refused to admit us, I sha don't blame them, whenever my baby gets there she starts jumping up and down and trying to eat the doctor's note pad, they don't believe me when I say she's showing me pepper at home. We'd go back in the evening cuz they said that's when the peadiatrician would be around but she's getting better today

Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by hunniesuzie: 1:34pm On Oct 03, 2017
Lol. Anything that is not formula or BM is solids. Leave all those till 6 months. You can try a little apple puree at 5 months if your body is hot like mine was grin (wash, peel, dice the apple, boil for 3 mins and blend)

How old is she again? If she's less than 3 months they usually poo a lot. How often does she poo normally? Any fever? What does the poo look like, normal or very runny? Is she eating well?

Mama!!! Take a deep breath!!! Why the rush if I may ask... All our children will achieve their milestone with patience if you ask me. Try sitting her down from four months. For baby cereal i will advise you to start from 6 month because at less than 4 month their immune system is still getting stronger #Myownviewplease. For hair, try and make her hair from 5 month up but not too tight. All the best dear

Dont worry, when he figures out how to crawl he will figure out how to sit or get into other positions. Sometimes with frustration as he may get stuck on occasion.

I would only suggest you start childproofing your home since it looks like cruising mode is about to start.

Assess any risk areas like stairs, doorways, glass items, electrical points and wires, areas that he can eventually climb! Including chest of drawers, water drums, balconies etc, acces to kitchen and bathrooms.

And try and remove the risk and barricade where possible. Where not possible, just ensure everyone keeps an extra eye out that he doesnt go here.

Parenthood is anxiety filled but we will survive by God's grace

Fret not mama!!!! Am sure before he clock 7month he will be able to do it. My LO was able to sit properly at six month. Just be teaching him little by little by putting him beside you and 2 pillow by his side and back. He will surely learn it before you know it. It's like we mothers of nowadays are so much in hurry to achieve everything. God help us grin
