Good morning mothers of future Presidents and Governors.
Please my baby will be 6 months on 26th of this month, I have introduced Friso gold to him this last Tuesday which was on 2nd. Although we didn't do EBF, we were on SMA gold and breast milk before. But for over a week now even before I changed his food his poo is dark green and musty not watery anyway, a friend said it's because he's teething but I'm becoming uncomfortable with it.
Please experienced mothers should enlighten me, I'm a FTM.

Mama's in the house please help me I know it very late but pls help me my one year plus baby girl is experiencing itching skin with irritation like insect bites on her skin it appears for some minutes after itching and disappears it started yesterday at mid night I bath her change d bed sheet and apply tribotan cream d itching stopped only for it to start again this evening I did what I did before it stopped and right now it has started again
I av used bagon flit to flit the house earlier and she's wearing covered clothing, she's not having any fever and we usually sleep inside mosquito net. I just don't know what is causing the itching.

Sounds like hives or allergies. You need to isolate the cause. Pls don't give her palm oil, antihistamines can help with the itching.

Good evening mamas....I'm currently in the omugwo phase,my baby is just 3 weeks old and my mom insist on giving him water cos he's on breast milk and formula.She said the formula will make him thirsty and make him crave water.This is much to my disapproval though but to prevent any misunderstanding (u know mothers na),I let her give him water but my heart is still not at rest.
Question is,does giving water this early have any side effect and also will there be any side effect if I stop giving him water ?

Since you are giving your baby formula, he must drink water

Formula fed babies NEED to drink water. Come to think of it, you use water to make the formula right? wink. Water will also help baby not to be constipated from the formula.

You can give glucose water if that makes you more comfortable.

You can take her to the hospital and check her SB level just to be sure. I don't know about the skin but i know the eyes takes time to clear. It clears gradually even after treatment is completed

Good morning mamas in the house.

Please i havea few questions

1. Is it true that private hospitals immunization cards are not recognized by embassies except for health centres?

I went to get my baby's birth certificate from festac local government, the person on seat insisted i get the health centre vaccine/immunization card and that i should start using the health centre because its recognized. Other mothers there affirmed to it too that thats what people are doing now, and that private hospitals won't tell me this because they want to make their money. Please is this true? Im currently using Havana specialist hospital under HMO, please is it recognized?

2. My baby is due for his 10th week vaccine, if i have to start using the health centre please do you know how much for these vaccines?
OPV?
ROTAVIRUS ?
PENTA?
PCV (Pneumococcal)?.

Mamas that knows please come to my aid so i can prepare myself for tomorrow or next for the immunization.

Thank you ma'ams in anticipation

1. False. I know people who have used their cards from private hospital. So long as it is registered and not all those maternity centres. I have cards from private hospital but I sometimes collect from government hospital, depending on my location at that particular time.

2. Some health centres give all free except for rotavirus. I think some still give freely in Lagos. You can't spend more than 500naira for the others.
