Good evening mamas and papas of this great forum. please my DD have been having boils upon boils. Biocine syrup was prescribed, the boils cleared but will reappear after the completion of the dosage. she was placed on augmenting suspension last two weeks. At our 9 months immunization I still complained but her doctor insist is part of teething since all the test result are good. Duno what else to do. The healed part lives some black scar and my dd is fair in complexion. what should I do bikonu. am using rising powder and Shea butter
Choi this thing terrorized GB and I earlier this year. We took three different antibiotics, but it was the advice I got here that finally cured it. They are highly contagious, so when water from one boil touches another part of the skin, a new boil would pop up the next day.

First, don't wipe across the boils to clean them, else you would be spreading them. Just dab with hot water mixed with dettol, morning and night.

After every single bath, soak everything, face towel, sponge, bath towel in very hot water and dettol.

Change and wash the bedsheets as often as possible. Maybe two days intervals. Wash with dettol

While I was doing this, she was also on the third antibiotic, then I bought mupiderm ointment, to apply on the boils, it really dries them. In fact id dig up the old post and tag you.

9 Things People With Depression Want You To Know – SELF
Discussions of mental health have taken the front stage following the loss last week of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, both of whom died by suicide. Although suicide is a complex issue, mental illness—especially depression—is a major risk factor, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Hello mums, good to be here. I gave birth a few days ago and here to seek advice. I know this issue most likely would have been overflogged here already but I would love my baby to retain her birth complexion. Any ideas on what products would be suitable for this or what products to avoid? Ftm here. Thanks
Is your baby's skin color the same with her ear?

Sorry about your loss. You can go for infant formula for now like nan, atapmil, sma etc(ensure 1is written on it) when she is four months old, there are cereals suitable for her but ensure 4mnths is written on it or you can go on with the milk for now and introduce cereals and other food to her.



Thanks, it's one of it, the one from NAN, the nurses have been given the baby after delivery so we will just have to continue. My concern is that it was written on it that breastfeeding is the best for your baby. So don't know if there are formulas or supplements that will also act and work just like breast milk even if not 100%.

Sir, I think the hospital is your best option to find out if the baby will be needing extra supplements.
But I think he/she will be fine with just formula if there's no issue, after all some mothers are not cleared to breastfeed and the babies turn out fine.
Sorry about your loss, God be with the child.

They write it to discourage mothers who depend solidly on it rather than breast milk. In your own case, there is nothing that can be done. Formula is the best or there is something called a wet nurse. Sha just as someone said above, try go back to the hospital and talk to the nurses, the will sure put you through.

Nothing. Please, don't apply anything. Dr said it'll heal and it healed by itself. Just clean D penis area gently while bathing.

Hi mums. Pls come 2my aid. My 3months old baby just fell from the chair. I met her face down. I'm so confused right now. I have checked all her body n seen nothing. I don't even know how she fell cos i went to take her clothes in.
What should i do. She has stopped crying tho

1. My girl has this. A sprinkling of Silverbird on a bib around her neck helps. A.c. and fan on lowest settings. Steam inhalation too.

2. Hope you are measuring the formular according to how it should be? One levelled scoop to 30mls of water, no more no less. My mama was trying to make it more creamy for my baby and was putting 4 full,unlevelled scoops to 90mls water for my baby and she was constipated until she confessed by herself that she may have been making her feed too creamy. That was how constipation stopped. Also, try giving warm water first thing in the morning. He won't like it at first but continue.

3. Sebamead. IMO don't mind that Shea butter and coconut oil stuff. I did that for my first baby, original ori and oil from Ghana. Under two weeks pikin don black like charcoal. By the time I changed to Chicco, it was late. Complexion don set. This time, I was prepared and got all Sebamead baby range. They are small,and don't last as long unless you manage well but my baby is so fair and her complexion is so smooth and clear.

4. What I did: Aju mbaise as soon as I got home. Won't say it made my tummy flat but it did push out all the blood. Lemon in warm water every morning. Flat tummy does not come magically. What do you eat? I'm 8weeks pp tomorrow and what I eat mostly is sweet potatoes, lots of egg, cheese and sausage, lots of fish and chicken,oats swallow, beans, moi moi, bulgur wheat as rice substitute, quinoa, all in controlled portions.. My tea is Lipton or pure cocoa with skimmed milk. I drink 3 litres of water everyday. I have a bottle for that and I finish it and even more sometimes. I eat pastries and ice cream and sweets once in a while. I got a latex waist cincher from zaraxshapewear on IG. Started wearing after 3weeks. Waist was 41 when I started. I'm on the last hook now. Measured yesterday and waist was 35. Would get a smaller one. I wear everyday for 8hours minimum. At 8weeks you should be wearing a cincher/trainer but please check with your doctor.

5.if your incision has healed, you don't need to apply spirit any more. The site will still be raised but it will flatten over time. You can get Shea butter to massage the site and surround areas so as to stop keloids from forming and Also,release surrounding tissues
I need to b ur mentee (smiles)

No ma. Formula with 1 written on it is for babies 0-6 months. Then from 6 months you can get formula with 2 on it, which is for babies 6-12 months.

No dear...Just like Anugod answered,the SMAPro1 is still within her age and you're doing it right

For example SMA Gold,they have SMA1 for 0-6months,SMA2 for 6months to 1years and SMA3 for 1year -3years

You don't need to beat him because of him refusing food pls. 8months old for that matter.
He may not like the taste of what you have been giving him for now. Babies are funny, what they seem to enjoy taking this week may be utterly rejected the following week.

it seems you haven't prepared him for creche because he needs to have one or two foods he will readily eat even if he rejects others.

Is he taking milk formula apart from breastmilk?
Have you tried fruit purees for him? e.g apple, banana etc.
There are other naija baby food brands that can also try.AS and the likes

pls wear patience like agbada if you want to feed a baby. It can be annoying and frustrating yet bear with your baby. He will improve with time.
