Good afternoon mothers, Pls my 4 month old daughter has been stooling since Saturday and I took her to clinic where she was given amplicox, flagyl and zinc to be used and we have since been using it. But this stooling only reduced and did not stop totally, so my mom said the stooling might be because she wants to cut teeth.
1. Can a four month baby cut teeth?
2. What can I use to stop her from stooling?
Pls help a worried mother.

We just started creche last week and this is what I do
I have a medium sized flask for his hot water. Then I put a big bottle of Eva water (this is to use to dilute the hot water and it also serves as his drinking water.

I instruct them not to wash any of his utensils but they said they can't give me dirty plates.

So, I calculate his feeds. Since cereal is all my son likes to eat, and I feed him every 3 hours, I calculate from 8 am to 5pm. How many times will he eat and how many scoops per feed.

I have a small flask, I mix his cereal with his milk so all they need to do is fetch the quantity he eats and then mix with water.
I equally put about 4 feeding bottles, 4 bibs and 4 mini handkerchiefs. 4 plates and 4 spoons.

I always feed him before dropping him off

I also put 2 extra body suits, 1 extra pair of trouser (sometimes I put 2) and 1 extra pair of shirt

Reason for the extra clothes is 1. If he gets stained with poop, he can be changed into clean clothes. 2. The creche usually clean him up with wipes, change his clothes and comb his hair before I pick him up. So by the time I get there, he's clean and smelling fresh.

His bag is usually quite heavy but I prefer it that way. Also the creche is very close to my house so I don't have issues with the big bag


My opinion though - why don't you get smaller containers and mix the milk and cereal in powdery form. They can then mix with water when he's ready to eat. Just tell them the quantity of water for each feed. That way, the risk of food contamination is reduced. I use this nuby dispenser container for packing my baby's good to creche. Each one has 3 compartments. It's really airtight and the mixture stays fresh even after several hours.

For me ooo,antibiotics makes my children stool alot! So most times,i just call the pead/doc and tell them and they'll say i should stop and afterwards,my kids will be totally fine!

There was a time my first ds was stooling(he was about 6months then). Whenever he eats(frisogold rice cereal),give it 2-3mins,he'll stool. Igot so worried that i started crying... Was given all manner of drugs(expensive ones o) but none work until a PHARMASIST suggested i give him flagyl(anoda kind on antibiotics)which i was afraid to give but i did. Alas,d stooling reduced then stopped eventually!

But i'll like to say,u should also watch what you eat cus she draws fromyou or is she also on formula For me,i dread antibiotics for babies o!

Did they run tests on her to know the cause of the stooling cos Flagyl and ampiclox are both antibiotics. Is the stooling watery? I hope you gave her rota vaccine.

1: Yes a 4mon can cut teeth even some babies start from 3months.
2: Give her ORS to bring back the lost electrolytes or you can make your own ORS using salt, sugar and water if she's still pooping, continue giving her the baby zinc. If she's formula fed try and sterilize her feeder well. Watch what you eat too.

Thanks so much for this ma'am
Will concentrate on the fruits till my appetite comes back
Giddyperson:
Dont know if it's a post partum package or a post partum depression package. Happened to me. I missed out on most of my omugwuo orisirisi. All I could drink was huge bowls of hot pap cuz I was finding breastmilk with torchlight. It would pass after a while. Later I started to eat like a thief, I'd even wake up at midnight and eat the remnants of whatever hubby had for dinner not minding if its cold or open, and he'd be staring at me in wonder. Just eat what you can now, if it's pap or juice or fruits, eat it all day until your appetite starts to come back.
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by hunniesuzie: 2:49pm On Nov 01, 2017

2. How often is she stooling? What is the consistency (very watery?) Reduced to how many times per day? what does she eat (formula/ebf/solids?) this will guide the response

Looool
1. Baby food - food that babies eat. Varies depending on age. Could be breast milk, formula, cereal, amala, fruits etc
Baby formula & milk are the same thing

2. Babies under 1 year have to have milk as their primary food. You can either exclusively breastfeed or supplement with formula or give only formula. Depends on you but sha provide milk

3. Me I don't have any experience with sucking babies so I'll leave this one for mamas wey sabi

Whenever my baby starts stooling, I just switch to Ebf and make sure i breastfeed very often to keep her hydrated. Usually stops by the end of the next day. The only time she stooled for up to 4 days she was reaction to Zinnat antibiotics. Try to see what she's been eating, if bmilk can sustain her then switch to EBF until it stops, if not, handle all bottle sterilization, food preparation and feeding by yourself

I got one and administer twice, gave him half and the rest within 2wks interval I administer my self and no issues. I bought it for 7k and was given ice block to chill it. The pharmacy is at 2b alabi strt off toyin street ikeja. And I spent 7k in total
I hope that answer ur question. Yes one is a dose but I administer it twice (my doctors advice) and I never regretted it. The koko is to give ur baby twice so if u want to buy 2 no wahala

Yes,thanks but are u saying the one dose u administered was effective?sorry for my questions,I just want to rule out making any mistakes with it

They did not carry out any test on her o. The doctor only concluded it's infection based on my complaint. Yes,she took rotavirus vaccine. I will start giving her ORS and continue with the zinc too. Thanks for your input ma.

About number 3, I remember when I thought this was a problem until my baby showed me part two. Now she wants to eat everything apart from her fingers or sterilized toys. Would be so good if she just ate her fingers cuz then I could wash her hands and let her go crazy, now she eats books, my purse, tries to eat my hair, other peoples hair, my phones, shoes, torch lights, bottles, cartons, these days i even give her my complimentary cards to eat cuz she's quiet when eating them and the paper doesn't dissolve easy, sometimes I just let her eat clothes cuz she starts a screaming feat when I take things away. Bad mum I know but peace of mind is priceless. She was an expert finger sucker in those days tho and added weight just fine.

Before it use to be after breastfeeding her but it has reduced to like four times a day. The poo is not too watery but slimy and yellowish in colour(egusi-like). She is purely on breastmilk ma
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by Nobody: 3:34pm On Nov 01, 2017
If she is purely on ebf, stop the antibiotics for a day and see the reaction. Flagyl made my lo purge more so a doc told me to stop using that and keep breastfeeding her and she became fine.

Just tell them the quantity of water for each feed. That way, the risk of food contamination is reduced. I use this nuby dispenser container for packing my baby's good to creche. Each one has 3 compartments. It's really airtight and the mixture stays fresh even after several hours.

I did look for those dispensers but I didn't find it to buy and since the creche thing was urgent (my maid left and my cousin had to resume school I was left with just 24hrs to put stuff together)
I'm going to buy the cereal dispensers soon

Thanks for pointing it out to me
