I made a paste of ginger, garlic and bitter kola then mixed with honey. But I don't know how tolerant will it be on a small child.


Honey is good for them from 1 yrs that I know.

Some don't see their period for as long as they are breastfeeding which in this case serve as family planning method. You are fine and its normal

As for others I no too sabi book

'RE POOP:
Give him lots and lots of water and breast milk.
Check your diet and reduce your iron intake
Water and fluids as much as possible.

If you notice blood in his poo, take him to the hospital.
If the metallic poop smell does not stop or reduce after three days of fluid and water therapy, take him to the hospital.

Good evening Mamas. Abeg make una help me put torchlight for this my issue. I was supposed to see my period on the 7th of this month but up till now e never still show. I have already done 2 Pregnancy tests and they are both negative. Am kinda bothered because I usually have a regular cycle of 30/31 days and have never really skipped a cycle unless due to pregnancy. Please what could be wrong? My DS is 11 months now and am still breastfeeding. TIA.

Mama pls I need your help on this cos its really weighing me down.
My son started having eela on his face about three weeks ago... I apply sudocrem on any one that appears and within hours it will dry up but his face is very hard, dry and somehow scaly. We plugged "fruit" leaves and red flower, boiled them and uses it to bath him. Its been 3 weeks but my baby's face is still rough, his head is full of eela (he didn't have hair when he was born so his head is scanty which makes it easy to see his scalp) his scalp is always dry, with dandruff -like and ringworm stuffs. I keep applying coconut oil but no improvement. I'm just tired, I feel he's not adding weight like he should, he was born 3kg, he'd be 10weeks on Thursday and I feel he's not even more that 4/4.5kg.
I feel so bad that he's going through all these

use baby tribotan cream for the face and head and if u can get those selling herbal leaves for eela to sell for u so u can boil and give the baby in small quantity

Thanks ma now i feel relaxed

Ask Giddyperson

Your irregular midnight moves don overtake your regular cycle. Drive with care next time. It's a blessing .

I was doing exclusive breastfeeding for him with lots of water (orders from my mum and mother-in-law)and he was gaining just tiny weight infact he used to feel hungry every 20mins and he sleeps for jut few mins and wake up with serious hunger my mum den said since he is a great eater we should introduce pap and formular for him wen he was 3 months o he uses 4 days for one Nan and now he refuses to take water except if he cries for long and becomes thirsty or i force him to drink it which is war

Happy Sunday Mamas..... My son is 3months plus he use to poo like 3times a day...but like 3 days ago he hardly poo Onces in a day and d poo colour is some how black ...pls is it normal

If you are doing EBF, improve your own intake of foods rich in fibre, vegetables and fruits.

If you are not doing EBF then increase the quantity of water he drinks. You can even make the water lukewarm especially first thing in the morning.

As per the poo color being somehow black, is it greenish black or black as in black? if you are taking iron supplements, it may be the cause.

Chai! Giddyperson blood eh! I know how fast my heart was beating when I was doing the urine own. It is well o! Ok na will do the blood own make I just know my fate.

Giddyperson:

I just can't tho. The thought of having her call me money just makes me go 'hell naw'. I'd sha tell her to stop yelling aunthy when i call her

When I call my girl she answers ma,my son has picked that up. When he hears me call him he screams ma. She calls me mummy sometimes but my son has stuck with calling me Nene...whatever that means and he will be 2 in April and calls other stuffs/people around him correctly.

Nene might mean mommy or mama in baby language.

Thanks mamas @ pearl05 and comtem2011.

This is wat I did last night.... During his bath time I massaged him with hot water wella, applied ori and palm kernel oil all over his body, wear him trouser and light top due to d heat ( no sweater) no fan and I was giving him warm water if he wants to drink and dat those d magic.... He did not cough or cry due to blocked nose last night.... But heat no gree me sleep ooo

Please any mama here staying along Ikotun (Igando road) axis who will have time to help me buy foodstuff and pass on to someone(a mother) along that axis can please mention me here or any random thread.

Thanks

Water is important since he is already taking formula and pap. Have you tried giving him water with cup and spoon instead of the regular feeding bottle?

Try cacatin cream, and also look for Jimpo ori. Cacatin is 100 while the ori is 800-1000

I'd tell her to start answering ma, that one is better than aunthy.

Seriously? my 17 months old calls me Nene. I don't know where he got that from because nobody calls me by that.
I'm yet to take him serious though, because I taught he says something else and it sounds like Nene to my ears.

It is not any family planning method o, do not try this at home

Hello mums..pls help..my baby's scalp is dry and when I comb it, it brings out the patches.. I use olive oil on her head..should I just continue??

Also she has kinda cough stuck...like when she's breathing and it sounds like she has something she wants to cough out...it comes and goes though..she'll be 3months this month.

Ha.. you people's own is good na. My 19month old does not call me anything o. She calls my nephew his name cos that one carries her everywhere. One time, she heard me call her dad baby and that was how she shouted baby throughout that day. It was hilarious but she has not called me anything, mummy or ma or anything I can remember.

Keep using the olive oil and if u can get Jimpo ori or opeoluwa Shea butter, it will go. We are experiencing it too and I have stopped washing her hair daily. Now once in a week. I just rub water so I can comb whenever we didn't plait.

U can do steaming for her to help her clear her chest.

lol....the funny thing is he started with calling me Nne(means mother in igbo language).

I actually have a friend who still call his mum NeNe even up till now and and another whose children still called Nana.



I always wonder where and how they always come about such names
