I used Ammens, Agnesia it didn't work. So I went to a baby store, the lady gave me that powder in the picture and in 3days, rash was gone. Price: 130naira! grin

Hello great mamas.
This forum has really assisted me a lot in my times of need. I hardly comment here cos its mostly women affairs stuff. Lol. Know it that we truly appreciate u mothers of our little ones.

Back to my issue.
After the birth of my baby a year now, my wife keep complaining that one of her breast is far bigger than the other and this is quite true.
She's really worried.
I'v told her to calm down that it cud be as a result of breastfeeding tho I dnt know.
Plz mamas, is this normal?
Will this normalize?
She blames d baby so much for this.
This our first baby.
Tnx as I await ur response.
I hope this is not coming late. It happened to me too. The left is bigger than the right. I noticed it happens mostly to right handed people cos its more convenient breast feeding from the left breast. Since I noticed it I have started putting baby to the right breast and its beginning to measure up with the left one. If she has stopped breast feeding when another baby arrives she should make the smaller breast the favourite

I'll rather you have her checked in the hospital. Teething is an on/off thing and shouldn't affect her weight in my opinion.
what foods have you been giving since you weaned her?


She has a timetable that has assorted foods like Pap, oat meal, golden moore, toast bread. For breakfast.

Lunch: jollof & fried Rice, yam and egg, beans, spaghetti and many more.

Fruit at intervals..Apples

Dinner: semo, yam flour etc.....

She takes milk (peak 123 with bournvita @ midnight and during the day.

Yes it is! I think she feeds him with a particular breast more than the other. But if she is so worried, let her see a doctor.
Tnx ma! I'm relieved the experience is not unfamiliar.

Please is there any thing else apart from water that I can give baby daily to avoid constipation. I try to give her water but she just plays around with it and spits out most of it. Or Is there anything I can add to the water to give it a more encouraging taste. She's finally pooping now and it's hard and she's straining too much

Good morning mommas. I'm back again (in 9ce's voice) please when can one stArt backing baby with wrapper? Grandma wee soon return home and I need to be effective with chores when it's just bobo and I left.

Also this baby peeling issue, when does it stop and what can I do to clear the skin? Arms and legs. Eksbabe; what did you do in bobo's case?

Then baby started fussing in his sleep since last week; grunting and making all sort of noise while sleeping. He rarely sleeps quietly for 10 minutes straight; he's restless. Did anyone experience this.

Backing my mind didn't gree till my baby was 3 months but people start before that sef.
No clue about peeling
Grunting in sleep sounds like colic, does he wake up crying? Babies outgrow it but some mothers when they can't cope with the grunting give gripe water/nospamin/infacol. Me I waited it out and it stopped the same way it started

Sha don't give him agbo. whatever you do

Don't stop giving water sha, my baby suddenly likes water, I hit jackpot with the second sippy cup I bought. Now he actually "asks" for water

Sometimes he plays with it but he's drinking more than before

Pear juice works. Also try to space the solids...not more than 2 solid meals a day for now, then make it a bit watery

Hello, i didnt do anything to my baby's skin when it was peeling. Was told to leave it that way and not to peel it. Eventually, the whole thing cleared off and his real colour came out. I think its a normal thing tho, just wait it out. Also, i was using ori at that time to moisturize his body. But i believe the peeling was just a way of his skin changing colour.
I experienced that grunting too, i guess it was colic. It stopped after about 2 days of doing nothing. And then, i laid him on my chest to sleep so i could soothe whenever he was having the pain.
I havent started backing my baby just cuz i dont know how to and he is still small for me to place on my back alone lol.

Thanks momma; agbo ke? Even Me i never take agbo. He doesn't wake up crying though and shows no signs of colic; my only other issue that might or mightnt be related is that he has reflux and repeated hiccups after formula and expressed milk intake.

if your baby is feeding well on all this assorted foods yet is losing weight, the safest thing to do is to have her checked by a pediatrician.

I just started giving my DS water last week. He also spits it out or spoils his mouth when he tastes it but yesterday I squeezed half of a whole orange and added it to the water. He gulped the whole 60ml in a twinkling of an eye.
His poop was softer afterwards unlike the semi-hard one he poops when he takes apple puree.
He clocked 6 months yesterday. I plan on using water melon henceforth so we will be doing oranges once in a while.

Mama it's called possetting (sp?). It's quite normal. My dd own was so much in the beginning that i was changing her clothes up to 6times in a day but it's reducing now. Try not to lay him down immediately after a feed. Hold him up for about 15minutes before laying him down and make sure he burps. This does not mean he wont still throw up some food but it will be less.

eksbabe:
Hello mamas, please i have come again oo. Sometime ago i mentioned that my son spits out alot and some mamas here told me to burp him between feeds and hold him upright afterwards for some mins before putting him down.
Well i have tried it but he still keeps spitting out. Thing is he can go a week without spitting out so much and the next week he is back at it.
He doesnt eat much at a time, could spend about 5/10 minutes and he is okay, so i dont think he is being overfed.
He is gaining weight, weighed 3.4kg and 6kg at 10 weeks.
The spit out often comes with a burp and sometimes i just see it trickle down from his mouth.
It gets much sometimes that it can get to the floor while he is on my shoulder.
It is not forceful and he doesnt cry afterwards.
I have spoken to my doctor about it but she thinks it is normal and he will stop wih time.
I have even tried formula to rule out my breastmilk being the issue but he still spat out some of it
Please mamas is this normal? I have to change bibs like 3 times a day which is not a problem when i am at home but it can be a lil embarassing when we go out.
What can i do again please?

thanks. BM supply drastically reduced the four days she was Ill cuz she didn't want bm at all so it was almost like I weaned and started again. Had to give more solids then cuz that was all she wanted and when she got well and wanted to bfeed again, it wasn't filling her cuz the supply had reduced. I'm gradually scaling back on solids now that breast is running well again. I think I'd make the solids three times a day sha cuz she's a foodie.

Lol, you'll be surprised @ agbo. I've learnt never to assume since I discovered nairaland. My baby never cried cos of colic but he will grunt and squirm in his sleep, the reflux and hiccups are just signs of a developing digestive system. Burp him and keep him upright for a bit after eating before laying him down, he'll outgrow it

Thanks I'd try a little orange then, since orange worked, why do you still want to try water melon. I can't even say if my baby likes or hates water. If you take away the bottle, she'd cry. She would keep drinking a whole drum if you keep giving it to her, just that she would keep swishing it around her mouth and finally open her mouth to let it pour out. When you are done with that whole drama, only like half the bottle would be in her belly while the other half would be in her clothes- soaking through her bib. You must change cloth every time you give water.

Our mothers are soooo good with backing babies even from a week old. I will suggest you start backing your baby before grandma leaves so she can guide you with it.
Wearing your baby on the back looks easy when you see others do it but I must confess I had difficulties doing it by myself coupled with my DS that doesn't enjoy backing. He screams each time I back him but when grandma backs him....he stays gentle.

I've gotten better with it and I noticed it was the way I was positioning his legs that usually made him scream.

The skin peeling will go by itself. There's no need to worry at all. I only kept using coconut oil even up till now.

Baby grunting and being restless while sleeping is usually as a result of being gassy. If it is colic, his crying will get him an award. My DS experienced being gassy and won't stop grunting till he's able to pass out the gas. There were times he will let out the gas and will still cry...I guess the farting sound gets him startled.
overall, I waited it out for 4months before it stopped. Gripe water did nothing for us when we used it.
