Good morning sabi mamas. Please don't read and pass. kindly save a soul here cos I'm going gaga.
my baby weighed 3.4 at birth and I noticed that he's loosing weight drastically. he's in his sixth week and weighed just 3kg last night. The peads suggested that I monitor his feeding and check back in two weeks time. He requested that I express and feed him 40mls every 2hrs.
This is someone that feeds and sleep very well because we are on exclusive. I'm sure he also gets enough breas.t milk because after each feeding I feel so light my Brea.st relaxed and flatter. I only noticed that no matter how much he sucks, his stomach would not really get bulgy maybe due to his tiny statute. my mother suggested that it's oka ori and prescribed some herbs but nothing seems working. I've even decided to introduce formular if need be because I'm so confused and devastated.
P.S. I'm not a first time mum and his brother did so well with exclusive.

Did you feed him 40mls every two hours? Has the dr reviewed again?

Good morning, babies tend to lose a bit of their birth weight in the first weeks of life and regain it by the second month.


Feed him like your doctor suggested every two hours or less.


Should the weight loss continue or he doesn't add up by the 8th week you may have to augument with formula.

The fact that your boob is lighter only means that he is emptying it,the quantity may not be enough. When you express how much do you get? Please monitor and supplement with formula,

MIL told me the stuffed nose is nothing to worry about, it will clear in time. Traditional explanation is that water entered baby's nose in the womb. Doctor also dismissed my concerns. I've tried suctioning (both with frida and with mouth) but no catarrh coming out.

I've just bought saline drops sha, will use tonight.
Good morning ma, please did the saline drop worked for your baby then or the blocked nose went on its own?

Abeg my sabi mamas my girl is a year and four months old and she finds it hard to poo. Pooing time is crying time for her as she will squeeze her face trying to use all her power and might to poo.
Please what is the cause and how should I handle it.
She is still breastfeeding 70 per cent. She eats everything but not much at a time though she prefers swallow and jollof rice.

Saline drop is just expensive shiii jor. Stuffiness will go on its own.

Even for catarrh/ blocked nose, you don't need saline drops. About 30 minutes before bathtime rub ori on nose, chest and back, combined with hot water during bath the catarrh will become soft then you can suck it out.

Mamas in the house. I greet you all. My heart has been troubled. Each time I go and pick my daughter from school, she's always isolated. There was this day I went to pick her and the other kids were surrounding their teacher taking selfies, she was just on her seat looking. Today, I just got home from picking her, the other kids were seated on the play mat while some where dancing, cos they were playing kiddies songs on the TV. On a norms my baby can't hear song and sit down. lol. But she was glued to her seat only her. Made me feel somehow. What could be the problem? Is this totally okay or it's all in my head?
