I don't think giving her tea has any harmful effect, just use the required milk and beverage for her age.

The difference in her weight and her twin is not alarming, moreover they are not supposed to weigh same.

Try giving her finger foods.

Please any suggestion?

Jennifer89. Nothing to worry about. I know a baby that didn't walk till like her 14th month and now she has better balance than Muna that walked at 10m .


At the end of the day, she's moving in different ways whether by crawling, dragging or holding on to sth

My cousin loved tea as a baby and took it morning, afternoon and night with coaster biscuits.she didn't fall sick.Her parents were scared and took her to the hospital, d doctor always told them she was okay, she loves tea even till now. I dnt think giving ur daughter tea once a day is bad
richyblink1:
Help!

My 1 year and 2weeks daughter won't eat at all. She is now a bit smaller than her twin sister. She currently weighs 8.7, while the twin sister weighs 9.4.

I recently noticed she loves tea so much.

What should I do? Also, will giving her tea once a day have any health disadvantage on her?

They may be twins but certainly can't weigh same at same age( I have two sets and they've never weighed same)

have her checked though to rule out throat infection ( that can make kids prefer liquid diet) .

Bourn vita and Ovaltine contains lesser sugar they are my choice for kids tea.

once a day isn't bad at all! so please do give her her tea.

sabi mamas I salute una this evening please I want your advice

My DS is not walking and he's 13 months old. he hold things to move around but he can't stand on his own without any support.

World people will not allow me rest. people keep asking me unnecessary and annoying questions some say their baby walked at 7 months that my DS is suppose to be walking by now.

Abg mothers come and advice me o! is there anything i need to do?


People can be very annoying and emotionless when they ask question but me I ask them simple question that makes them look stupid (do they give award to children that walked early or can I go to bank with my child that he crawled or walked early and they will give me free money or all adults walking can u differentiate the one that didn't walk early) rubbish people. Don't mind them

Help o!!
My daughter started vomiting yesterday middle of the night and I took her to hospital this morning. Didn’t meet the usual pediatrician but I met another one though. She said it maybe indigestion or urine infection. I promised to bring the urine tomorrow for test. At yesterday no temperature but at the doctors place the temperature was a little bit high even with that doctor didn’t give me any drug but when I got home I gave her calphol syrup to reduce the temp.
Now her poo is kinda whitish(TMI). Scared with what am seeing on google. Although she’s playing nice and I haven’t given her anything apart from breast milk since morning. Just want to give her apple purée now. She’s very light.
Thinking maybe it’s the new menu I gave her yesterday which was oatmeal+banana porridge.
Has anyone ever experienced this? Please calm me down!!. She’s 10month and some weeks

My son started stooling extremely watery stool at 5am today.it was so watery the diaper couldn't hold it as it was coming out like tap.
I've not introduced anything new. Though I didn't take him to the hospital, I've been giving ors. The stooling has reduced but it's still watery. I'll observe and take the next step

Speedy recovery to your little one dear

Thanks. But my major concern is that she has been like this since birth (not eating) and it's getting worst now.
Aside the weight issue, the sister is growing bigger as she eats well, whereas the one in question doesn't eat at all

I don't think there's much disadvantage oh. Just continue giving her the tea with plenty milk which will help in replacing the nutrients her body lost

Thanks for asking.
Yes, he got discharged on Friday
Thank you everyone that showed concern and contributed.
A ni fii ru e san o ( may you not experience it)

But my people for house say I'm an alarmist...rolls eyes.
They said "that small thing is why you went to hospital, something that........... "
My final word was : to go to the hospital and be blamed for being too eager OR to go to the hospital and be blamed for being too lax.
I'd rather be the over eager mom that rushes to the hospital over every little thing sha.



Also congrats to you.
Easy peasy delivery to you by God's grace. kiss

Thank God. You did the right thing dear. thanks and amen to your prayers.

Since you are on EBF,try taking some fruits like orange and watermelon. You will pass it to her via breast milk.
Also,ensure to press her tummy during bath time,it helps a lot.

Nne,so far as your baby holds something and moves around,he will walk,u hear?
my ds walked at 15months. so keep calm.
pls dont put pressure on him.
At a point,we nearly put pressure on my ds. That once you want to drop him down,he will think you want him to stand and will cry. so we left him to stand and walk at his own pace.

Quick recoverer to your little one.
I notice the whitish po sometims esp when she takes plenty milk.
Just open ur eye n watch her
Then work with ur doctor.
They can also check the count of her WBC to know if sh3 needs to be treated for infection.

Hope she isnt stooling.
Also cut out or reduce banana 4 now.

Hugs

Boys tend to be slower.
He is already making progress
He will walk.
Just encourage him
You can hold his two hands facing him and walk.
You can place his legs on urs and take baby steps.
You can also relax and one day u will see him walking.
Dont disturb urself as he will walk.
And turn a deaf ear. Else
They wee give hbp

Amen and yours too!! The ORS what’s the mixture? Can it be giving to be below 1 year?

Any age can take ORS, it helps to keep the body hydrated in any event of diarrhoea or stooling.

When Zara was stooling, we were given the already packaged ORS at the hospital. I think its emzor that makes it. Just go to any pharmacy and ask for ORS.
To make the solution, u pour the ORS into 150cl of Eva water, and give 100mls to ur baby anytime she does a watery poop. Discard d solution after 24hrs and make a fresh batch.

Did u add zinc tablets alongside the ORS?
Call me paranoid, but that stooling thing is one thing that really freaks me out so I just dash off to the hospital once it starts...better to be safe than sorry.
Biko go to the hospital, so that they can run a stool culture.
To firm up the stool u can give banana, mashed plantain, white bread... (those worked for us especially banana n plantain)
