I just remembered ds also had watery stool after d 10wks immunisation though I didn't think it was the immunisation I thought it was the Pepsi I drank but ours started 3rd day after immunisation. I didn't use anything for him it stopped the 2nd day it started.
Hmmmm. She later pooped another small one last night, but I hope it ends there. I'm still watching it sha. And then I noticed yesterday she started this dry cough like something is lodged in her throat that she wants to remove. sad Which kind thing be this na?

My aunt once said something about not eating biscuits when I gave birth. That it would chook my baby's belle. lipsrsealed
Now I'm wondering and replaying all I ate yesterday sad whether it's the biscuits I ate that's causing the cough? undecided

I'm going to get drugs for her this morning. sad

Yes sis! Formula should never be mixed with hot water. Heat kills major nutrients in it.
thanks mama but i notice that he get bloated easily and his mess can wake a dead body so i thought its because of the cold water i am using.

Did she take Rota? it happened to my baby, nurse said it could be immediate reaction from the Rota (which is normal). Since it's just one loose stool it's fine. Watch what happens today and take it from there

Anugod:
Please mamas, good evening. embarassed embarassed Help me biko

Does 10 weeks immunisation cause watery stool? Cos we took our immunisation today, and this evening, my babe pooped one kind watery stool. Biko, izit the immunisation or the Pepsi I hurriedly took when we returned this afternoon? cry cry Tho this isn't the first time I'm taking a bottle of soft drink since I had her.
She pooped this morning, normal consistency, but this evening was so watery embarassed embarassed tho just once yet.
I hope it doesn't continue o. embarassed I have enough worries watching temperature already, to add running stomach to the mix embarassed embarassed cry cry

I'm sure other mamas have advised, only thing I want to say is, if you choose to go the formula route don't "switch" to formula, supplement with formula. Still give him mainly breastmilk but top up with formula

Also the fact that your other boob lets down milk when hes feeding happens to everybody whether your supply is high or low. Needing pads as well, those are not the determinants of heavy flow, express and see

As for the crying it's probably colic, search colic on this thread to see how other mamas managed but don't give your baby agbo oh

Sounds like a eye infection, see a doctor to prescribe appropriate eye drops

Please don't give him the eye drops, you can get penicillin ophthalmic ointment to be applied under the eyelid. It's suitable for babies that should clear it up if it's caused by the harmattan Dust. Also give him vit c, If the discharge reoccurs after a day or two take him to the hospital.
My ds had the same symptoms and after applying the ointment cleared up the next day.

I wouldn't put anything into a baby's eyes without a Paediatrician (not even GP) prescription.

Eyes are delicate organ, Once damaged. . .

Take your child to a paed

No rota o, except they miraculously injected it alongside the other two injections, lol. I'm thinking it was the Pepsi. I usually dilute soft drinks before taking because of her, or take in sips over a period. But that yesterday I was so hungry I didn't know when I swallowed a whole bottle. cheesy grin

She pooped 3 times yesterday all together, but none today yet. I was really worried cos she usually poos like once in 3-5 days before yesterday. And maybe it's just my eyes, but seems she has lost weight already sad

I trust she's getting better now sha

Since MIL is aged, just let her do small small baby duty, like leave the baby for her when you want to take a short nap or cook or wash, let her bath baby too, that's how it worked with my MIL cuz of age.

good morning mamas, pls I have a little problem I don't know how to handle with my dd.. from when she was 4 months old she has refused taking her formular, I started making pap and mixing with the formular, she took it for 4 days and refused to take it again, I'm afraid of changing the milk because the last time I changed it from NAN to SMA she pooped a lot..now I give cow and gate rice cereal she still won't take it but she eats rice ooo, fufu with draw soup, banana, she would suck on cabin biscuits till she has taken more than half of it and drinks tea with her elder brother..then she is always attached to my breast especially at night, we both sleep with the nipples in her mouth and it affects me because I hardly sleep in the night and find it hard waking up early in the morning... how do I tackle this her not eating issue, anybody knows any food tht a 5 months old baby would love very much? she is 5 month nd about 2weeks...

Some babies,prefer local food. One of my kids,rejected all the conventional baby foods.Eating only jollof rice(no vegetables), pounded yam or fufu with draw soup only, no noodles,beans,banana and groundnut.I weaned with bananas at night.Just make sure the food is nutritionally dense and she will be fine especially at evening meals.take care.
