In recent times, some hospitals advice you not to use anything.

For us, we we were advised to clean with methylated spirit as often as possible.

baking powder or baking soda? Before I make mistake. Lol


Baking powder. The article actually said baking soda but when I did the paste it looked like salt in water, so I swapped with baking powder and voilà! I had my thick paste and it worked.

Clean with methylated spirit regularly. (Might be with every diaper change or every 2 hours)/

My ds has a swollen breast filled with breast milk,how do i reduce it
Pls don't press or massage the breast. If you do it would develop into an abcess. It would go down on its own.

Oh dear. Pele. The is lot of rash.
Another thing to consider.....
What are you using to wash his clothes and beddings? Make sure your thoroughly rinse before drying especially If using washing machine, always do an extra rinse or 2 before taking them out. Some baby's react to detergent if not rinsed out properly.

the rash is also paricularly bad on the bum area.
Also try changing his nappy brand and avoid using disposable wipes for now. Just use water and cloth wipes or towel for his bum. And allow to air dry before wearing a fresh one.

Just to rule out possible causes, as if it is a reaction to a constant thing, then the meds may not work, as the irritant is still there.

Mamas please how long must I sit on hot water to be guaranteed that my V is completely healed?

My baby is six weeks old. I gave birth with a tear and I was stitched. I did seat bath for 4weeks and stopped. But recently, I started feeling some pain inside my V, especially whenever I bend down to pick something. I don't know If I should resume the seat bath again.

I think it's the pain related to her healing navel. I observed that similar sound my baby makes too at 2weeks and in this last few days, she does it everytime. She stretches and make a sound kind of groaning as if hard poop is coming or sometimes want to bend her tummy. Mom says its takes 3months for the navel to heal completely inside - out and babies react to it differently based on their individual endurance. Some babies cry, while some will only squirm.
I always wish I could bear it for her.

It's normal with exclusively breastfed babies. Mine stayed 3 weeks without pooing. I got so scared and allowed MIL to put metholatum in his bum hole which made him poo. However when it happened again, I went to the hospital and the Dr confirmed it was normal. Said something about him absorbing/utilising all he was been fed and none to waste.

Good day everyone! To every mama replying questions and making comments,you are all doing amazing. Please I have a couple of questions o.Thanks in advance for the response.

a. Besides Dano, which other full cream milk can a one year old baby take? Kerrygold and Oldenburger, are they full cream?
b. Please how much did you guys pay for one year immunization o? The cheapest I saw was 40k. Hian. I know some mamas said they paid 18k abeg point me the direction of the hospital. I dont mind anywhere as long as its in Lagos biko
c. Is taking ribena every day healthy? Like we run out of a pack every two weeks. I have tried to incorporate other drinks like tea but she wont take them. She wont even take diluted ribena. Is there any other drink I can switch her to that is healthier?
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by hunniesuzie: 12:56pm On Jun 25, 2018
a. peak, Nido, Loya. Just read the pack, it's usually clearly written. You need to check carefully because most brands have both full cream and instant options
b. Sorry, HMO covered most so I don't know
c. No, water is best. I do ribena 3 times a week max. You can do zobo if you have the energy

re all new mamas talking about tummy pain, "navel" pain etc. Please search colic and take learnings, it's been thrashed numerous times on this thread. Also read up EBF babies and pooing

What does the sound, sound like? It may just be nothing.

12 days and you wanna groom hair, gurl, put the comb and ribbons down grin. Her scalp is a bit too tender for that just yet. She's pretty just as she is right now (perfect skin, chubby cheeks, fluttery eyelashes)

Noooo to Ribena daily. Woowwww, please end that. Abeg!! Our new bestie is a Food Scientist (Ph.D) and she has started explaining how our gut works and why we should not be loading up on sugar.

See, I got this cool hack. Daddy was annoying us with too much ice-cream. I got whole milk unsweetened yorghurt with pineapple, fruits and maybe a smigde of honey. Taste better than ice cream, healthier than ice cream and cures any type of constipation. Plus it is a great dessert for guests. Juice, try chilled OJ or pineapple (squeeze if you can). Watermelon is juice and fibre, just serve it chilled.

Immunization, go to a GH. I think they're still on strike but it's the cheapest. You need a HMO. MUCH CHEAPER. I'm reviewing some plans and will post on the blog this week.

Full Cream is always written on the packet. Dano's website actually says it's not suitable for children under 2 years.

Hey guys,

New post up! Food hacks. I hope you like it. Please try that yorghurt hack, my kids don't like regular ice cream anymore because of it and it's sooo healthy. Plus yorghurt is so good for them, even 8 months old babies.

OMG this happened to me. It was awful. Some even said its the force with which i pushed baby out, i started wondering if pushing didn't require force. I was always pressed to poo but poo won't come out and when it managed to, its soooo big like my wrist and very hard, even made my anus sore. At some point it became bad, i was suffering from epi pains, now sore anus. I stopped trying after being pressed for three days and no poo. I went to the hospital, where my anus was pumped with warm soapy water, after which i pooed. Chei hospital people ran, see smell! After that my mum made sure i ate a full paw paw each day and everything normalized. So i'll say take plenty of fruits. Remembering this just makes me shiver. Pele o. Las las, you go shit grin grin
so it safe to eat pawpaw?

My ds has a swollen breast filled with breast milk,how do i reduce it

You see that pooing thing ehn, i suffered it. Is it that you have not been able to poo since childbirth?

In my case, i freely went to toilet a few days after childbirth and was able to do so a few times after that but like 3weeks after, i couldn't go. I would try and try. My mum got me a whole pawpaw and i took a bowl of golden morn cocopops. Then the urge came.

My sister i saw hell in the toilet. As in i was there for over 1hour. It was so hard and dry( sorry, tmi). But after the hard one, the rest came out easily. So my dear u gotta be brave o.
