I'm still battling with a clingy two year old too!

I can only suggest that you keep encouraging interactions with others. Stop rushing to pick up the child when she cries.

Thanks mama.. I'll reduce the carrying then. You can't imagine the stress I went through for her birthday pics. She refused to stay alone

When scientific evidences back a folklore medicine claim as seen in black seed (Nigella sativa), I wonder why one can't confirm the truth of such in this information age, and thereby avail himself of a much more safe, effective, cheap, and sustainable solution that in fact goes beyond solving just a known health challenge, to improving one's health generally, and securing one away from the innumerable health threats plaguing our modern age.

taste and see if it's bitter, if not keep giving him and try to position your self well to suite him while sucking, is also advisable to visit your hospital he continues to reject, abvoe all prayer is the master key

Unsolicited Advice.


Yes, I know we are sometimes in a hurry to see our babies reach milestones upon milestones.
Even without any training, these babies will reach those milestones.
Did you teach them to latch?
Did you teach them to roll over on the bed?
Did you teach them to smile when they see you?
Did you teach them to dance when they hear music?
Don't rob them of discovering the world and how it works by themselves.
You wanting them to reach their milestones so quickly are why you'll get frustrated if they don't crawl, walk, talk or teeth on time because those are things you absolutely have no control over.

If you put a 2-3m to sit, she will topple, what happens if she hits her head hard just before you reach her? Please read up on Balls Palsy and see what kids face when they hit their head too often.
At 5-6m the baby has a sense of balance and good neck control, she will throw her hands out to catch herself and will try to adjust. If you put a 5m old to sit for the first time, there is little likelihood of toppling which in turn will reduce accidents.
Putting your child to sit in 2-3m will not assure you of crawling o, you've not seen babies that will rather drag their butts than crawl.
Your baby crawling instead of walking is actually strengthening his wrist in preparation for writing, studies have shown that babies that crawl longer have better hand/finger grip.

Some babies are naturally fast, some take their sweet time. Study your baby's temperament and personality.
When your baby lifts his head from lying in a tummy position, play games that will encourage neck control. Hang toys above his crib that will make him want to reach and grab. From raising his neck, he moves on to using his hands to support himself in order to stay in that position for longer, he learns all those by himself.

If you're looking for what to teach him, these are some cognitive speech games you can help him with and their relevance as he grows. You can even start from 3-4m old but be patient as he will need constant practice to get it.
-open your mouth. You lead by example and open your mouth. Relevance is when feeding begins by 6m, you say open your mouth or say ahhhhh and your baby knows he has to open his mouth too. Or when it comes to taking drugs, he responds straight away and swallow before he knows what's up. It also is relevant in mouth washing or brushing.
-close your mouth. Lips tight. For when the mouth opening sessions begin.
-close your eyes, put hands our your eyes. Comes in handy when you're washing his face as he grows up. Also play peekaboo with him. I see you, then I don't! (in a sing-song voice can turn a tantrum around into giggles)
- stick out your tongue. Knowing body parts and also for cleaning the tongue.
Once sitting has been achieved,
-clap your hands.
-say hello (waving hands)
-say bye (waving hands)
-hands up and down (both arms up and down as instructed). For changing clothes and during bathing.
Use that opportunity to also incorporate words like "where is mama?" here I am!
Where is...... (maybe toy name, objects around TV แบน house or his own name), here it is!
Even before he speaks, his vocabulary is building in his head. Because they hear and understand before they speak.


This long epistle is let you take a chill pill and let these kids discover their world in their own pace.
Then you may help if they have passed the age range for the milestones and are still found wanting, but a confident child will always be eager to explore and won't be afraid to try again even when he fails.
Some babies even go straight from lying on their tummy to raising themselves up and folding their knees straight to sitting, for me that trumps putting a child to sit.


At the end of the story, all mallam to his kettle.
kiss kiss kiss kiss
wow what a great piece thanks for sharing God bless you ma

Good morning. Please help a mum.

My 15month old son has this catarrh for so long. Been using different catarrh syrup prescribe for us. It did not go still. Now, we have stopped using anything on him.

Though he do have catarrh and after using drugs it will go. But this particular one has been over 2 or 3 weeks. Its not as if he is drooling, or the catarrh is running down from his nose oooo, but when he sneeze the catarrh will come out and even if he breath, you can sense it.

Please what else can i do? Thanks

Pls, I need your help o. My 1year+ son is very strong, 3days ago I noticed he was passing out watery stool, is stomach was bloated n he refused to take anything, so, I suspected he is bringing out teeth (Molar). I administered flagyl syrup, baby rex n vitamin c n ORT but it got worst so I took him to the hospital yesterday. We did test n his malaria test came out positive, the doctor prescribed amoxylin suspension n Camosunste (Amodiaquine and Artesunate), which I started giving yesterday, but I noticed he slept all tru yesterday n in d night, he is very weak, his stomach is still bloated n he still passes the watery yellow stool. Pls, am very worried, who has experienced this, this is my baby's 1st time of getting ill. Pls, sabi mama's and doctors in the house,help me, don't ignore embarassed, couldn't sleep since yesterday.

Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by hunniesuzie: 9:02am On Aug 30, 2018
Is it only malaria test they ran? Although I see they gave him antibiotics too, did they talk about infection? How often is he stooling? Does he have fever?

Please continue the ORS if he's stooling multiple times, go back to the hospital (or another one) and get a proper diagnosis

Whenever tests are run for your child please ask questions and let the doctor interprete the test properly for you. Malaria shouldn't cause a bloated stomach or runny stool. Teething is not sickness, and babies should not be weak because of teething

Were you given antibiotics in the hospital? For stubborn catarrh I usually do garlic, ginger, onion and a little honey. Blend and give a teaspoon 3 times a day

NB for anybody who plans to share, honey is dangerous for children under 1

Lol. My son wanted to try that thing with me, that day i made sure he sucked more from that same breast and i still offer it more to him now. Thats how i corrected it.

In my case, i noticed that d right breast produces more milk and rushes out faster, so he naturally prefers that one cos he is a foodie.

Malaria should not cause bloated stomach and watery stool. Please let them do urine test and blood count to be sure its not infection. All the best and God keep them safe for us all
