mimibe:

lassbaby:
.thanks shndy.at least i can relax.because I was so worried dat d weight is not encouraging

bossladyMo:
He he he! Yesooo. Many mothers make that mistake. In fact, I used to wash my son's hair 2x a day. By the time he was 4m, it was so dry...but luckily we cut it off at a year...as per baby boy.

Get a conditioner instead. I started conditioning my daughter's hair from 3weeks. And before then I only washed it with shampoo once ( apart from the hospital bathing by the nurses). Her hair is so deep curled and springy...over shrinkage dey worry am sef lol.

lassbaby:
pls mothers in d house allay my anxiety. my baby weighed 2.8kg at birth .now he's 6 weeks & he weighs 4.1kg.is it ok? he's bn feed on breast milk n water until last week I introduced formula (Isomil) because I will soon start work.

bossladyMo:
It's even better self. Carry on.

Don't wash the hair everyday...and try and get a baby hair conditioner for the days you wash. Washing the hair everyday will harden it.

NoQualms1:
I'm going to quote my matron verbatim - "she may run temperature after taking the injections, just give her paracetamol immediately you get home, it will go down in maximum of 48hours. If the place swells up, don't touch it. It will go down by itself"

That's all I've ever done and I've never had problems with immunizations. Each time I go for it, I always end up giving her paracetamol only twice and the fever disappeared in less than 24 hours. Take care.

tchiwinnie:
Just gv d patacetamol, dont touch d swelling.It ll go down wt tym. It might stay for up to 1-2wks o, bt just b patient, it ll go down. (Talking frm experience)

Kimoni:
Pls see the Dr immediately, most likely an infection since there is a high temperature.

Kimoni:
If the place is not swollen, give paracetamol for 2 days more and if it persist, you can complain to the doctor but he should be fine.

bossladyMo:
If you Love your baby, you will ignore these dangerous advice you were given.

mummy2be:
Tnx to y'all we were given penicillin oitment and paracetamol,hope it's ok

esteria:
Yes it is

esteria:
Yes u can't do hot water massage cos of both internal nd external stitches. I'm still trying to get my tummy down after 5months but I can attest to post partum girdle, it works like magic but only if u r DETERMINED to be wearing it 24/7. I got tired of wearing it (especially at midnite wen I hv to b waking up at almost every hour to breastfeed) nd my tummy became big again. But u hv to heal up internally 1st b4 u can wear it, say 8wks. Pls don't tie d tummy!

Well I took all those dry gin nd co but it didn't work for me, it might work for u, u can gv it a try.

As per sex, I'm not living wit my hubby so I cant ans on dat.

Hp dat ans ur question.

bossladyMo:
Okk. Just take your baby into the bathroom wuth you. Take a chair or stool along. Open the tap and let the hot water run, thereby sreleasing steam in the bathroom. Sit down in the bathroom for about 10-15mins.

The steam in the bathroom should decongest his airways.

bossladyMo:
Pls no. Mentholatum is too strong for his/her age.

Congestion at this age is quite common. It will clear up as they feed more....especially as there is no catarrh.

Do you have a shower with hot water running through?

bossladyMo:
Pls don't! Read back a few pages and see how that silverbird oil burnt a Nairalander's baby's head. That thing is too harsh. Pls dont.

mytestimony:
Honestly I dont know. I never went into labor. I had a planned CS.

My tummy went back flat o without exercise. But now dat I am drinking plenty kunu d tummy is getting big. I think body types vary. Listen to your body. Den do light exercise. Breastfeeding helps with d tummy too

MiracleMum:
I was also told not to do hot water massage and I didn't. But I took hot water which am still taking. I also took spicy food with Uda. My tummy has reduced reasonably but not as it was before pregnancy. I want to buy a post partum tummy belt to complete the reduction. As for sex, av not resumed oh. Until I think of a good family planning to do, no sex for now.
