Pls my baby of 6weeks has not gone to toilet for 4 days now I don't know what to do. I feed her with breast milk and water. Someone should pls answer me should I be worried or it is normal. She farts alot too

Hi,mama. Farting means there's poo and gas in there.
Get a single match stick,wrap cotton wool round it a little bit,dip it inside mentholatum.
Place the baby face down on your lap.
Gently reflect the bum
Insert the stick gently. Not too deep inside the anus.
Run warm water with your palm between the butt in a way that it would run through the anus. Baby starts to fart very well.
Now,turn the baby to face you. Make sure there's a bath right under his/her butt.
Rock the legs gently like you are riding a bicycle.
Watch how poo will fly out. The baby may find it uncomfortable and may cry because she/he is constipated.
You need to increase your water and fruits intake. I kept eating bread as a breastfeeding mom then; my baby was severely constipated.

Abeg u guys should help me out on this I am just coming from the new born babies thread am not really getting much answers, I need answers especially from mother's that given birth coz I am a ftm Good evening everyone am new here and I need help my baby's is 10 weeks with BW of 2.7 spend some time at NICU and reduced but didn't check d weight at that time but his current weight at 10 weeks is 5.9kg d pediatrician told me he is suppose to weigh more than this because I was giving him water so she asked me to stop giving water and do EBF now where I need ur advice is

1] is he suppose to weigh more than this? at 6 week he was 4.9kg and another question I found out that sometimes I wouldn't lactate well and he would be hungry so I do feed him with Nan milk at least till I eat and lactate well

2] is it ok if I substitute breastmilk and formula? Although I seriously want to do Ebf.

Hi,mama. He is gaining weight well. Since you you dont lactate very well,please do both formular and breastmilk. The baby will gain weight even if you give formular alone sef. My first started taking formular from day 1; I wanted to do ebf but i struggled and struggled to produce breastmilk to no avail. I had to do both as breastmilk couldnt sustain him. If your baby takes formular,he would need to drink water because of constipation.
On a lighter mode,i told my hubby we havent bought formular when we were baby shopping, his response was 'ki lo se oyan e?' (what happened to your breast?) . I have zeroed my mind that if i lactate well,fine. If i dont,fine!

My blue jet arrived safely yesterday, Monday through emergency CS. I was to have an elective CS today, Tuesday but baby boy could not wait a day longer.
BS coming later

Yayyyyy! Congratulations,mama. I wish you quick recovery

BabyAvo:
BA … BA..my prince arrived yesterday.. after 42 weeks..
EDD- 25th DEC
DOB- 7th January
BS loading..
Please it’s my first child.. since yesterday there is no milk from my breast.. and it’s hard to even put him to suck.. no position seem convenient.. please help me

Yayyyy! Congratulations,mama. I had this issue when I had my first-
Step 1: nan1 to the rescue
Step 2: daddy sucked brezz..no milk still
Step 3: towel dipped in hot water brezz massage..2spoons of breastmilk
Step 4: hot pap,palm wine,herbs ..breastmilk production increased to 5spoons
Step 5: plenty water intake..no difference
Step 6: Lactation cookies...noticed slight improvement

Las las,we continued with breastmilk and nan till weaning. Please,dont worry yourself too much about not producing breastmilk if you've tried all in your power and no improvement.
As for the positioning; please prop the baby up till you get to a position where you dont need to bend over. The back ache from poor positioning is crazy

semisola:
Thank you Mama.
Your delivery shall be easy and swift. We are waiting for your BA

Amin.

Yayyy! Congratulations,mama. E ku ajabo o. I'm right here with all the tiredness in this world and a very sharp back pain that travels down my spine. Had this same pain for a week before I had my first. I am fully ready; God knows.

wandeykul:
My fellow mamas,please I gave birth on the 11th of December but I've been looking so skinny. I'm just getting lean everyday coupled with baby's wahala. Please is there anything I can take or blood tonic to help my situation.Thank you... #teamdec

Hi,mama.do you feed well? Breastfeeding isnt beans plus not getting enough rest aggravates weight-loss. If you dont eat well and you breastfeed whether exclusive or not; you may experience weight loss. If you feel the weight-loss is too much,please go to the hospital to complain. On a lighter mode,some of us will pray to shed weight whilst Breastfeeding

Esthered:
Good evening Mamas, I'm a FTM. I had first degree tears during labor. I was stitched with dissolvable.....I was brought for Omogwo and forced to sit on hot water after my resistance today. Few hours later, I think my below is making noise of which it was never like that. Experienced mamas, abeg epp me as I'm confused if it's fear or the place don scatter.

Hi,mama. This noise you are talking about ehn?! Is it like you are farting from the vj?
Do you sit properly regardless of the pain? I had a terrible tear when I had my first and was in serious pain; was told to keep sitting normally and not tilt my bum to the side or i start farting from the vj. Please,use warm (not hot) water for sitz birth ; according to the hospital instructions. I'd suggest you go the hospital and have the place checked because you may freak out if you check by yourself. I pray the stitch isnt broken down because its another round of pain to get it stitched except if ts healed to a certain extent then you'll be told to continue sitz bath for proper healing

Just back to give you guys an update ,we went to another lab to get a second opinion,this one was an elderly man with so much at experience,he told us the miscarriage is still very fresh,the sac is still holding the fetal pole every thing in good position,just no heartbeat,I and my wife started crying again,*we are young couples,got married February 2021,about 4 of us got married and they all blessed with thier kids now,I'm not really bothered about that but my*
This is too much ...

Hi,sir. Sorry for the loss. Your area determines recommendation; you cant be living in Agege and head to Gbagada General hospital when you can get good hospitals closer to you. Kindly state your location.
God does as HE pleases; just trust HIM and never ever compare yourselves with others. People waited well over 10years; no show and by the 18th year,God gave them children. You know the best thing at this point,sir? Pray for speedy answer. That 2022 will be your year.

Modified: I thought I answered on the other thread; no way to delete it. Sorry about this

kokaiye:
oh yeah... U mentioning herb made me remember givin my baby ogiri but i giv him like once in a month wen d colic start cs i was scared of given him anytin traditional.. D ogiri made him poop n fart very well, d relieve e get frm it is priceless... D amount i do give him is very little quantity, like half d spoon of baby spoon... Apart frm dt ogiri, d fear of herb no let me give him agbo inu ewo, even d one my mom bought 4 me, she took it back wit her cs i refused to give him.

Lmaoo! I thought i was the only one. I halved the recommended dosage too and would pray over it before giving him. My inlaws would rather do herbs for everything- they made herbs worth 10k for me because i wasnt lactating. Wooo! I no drink one spoon from it after they forced me to go to the herb seller. No regrets,abeg.

wentroublecomes:
Thanks for Ur response.
It is not easy at all and I'm a type that always scared if anything isn't in d right place.
I was told he will overcome the phase on or before 3months but I'm already getting tired of it, though there is improvement. It's not that serious like when he was 2 weeks old.

Yes,it will gradually subside and pass even without any intervention. If it happens to my yet- to-be born child; I would just watch and pray this time around. Well-done

wentroublecomes:
My 5 weeks old baby is experiencing such too since his arrival.
I don't even know what to do about it.

Sorry about this,sir. I understand this perfectly; it was a very frustrating experience for me as my son had a particular time he used to cry (1am); he would cry for about 1hr 30mins and sleep off. I was always traumatized being a first time mom with no expert around; my hubby was always frustrated too. We would just keep looking at him as he cried with misty eyes sometimes.
I read the face down on thigh method whilst rocking him; it worked temporarily like I said.
Its a phase that will pass without any intervention sef.
Wait o! I just recalled we used herbs o; the frustration was out of this world; Yoruba people call it 'agbo inuwo". Dont know the English; it worked better than gripe water
Please,be careful with herbs o; make i do disclaimer here. I used it intermittently for my son out of fear.

dunnybaby:
Good morning all,pls o what do you use for this stomach uneasiness in babies,my baby didn't allow us sleep o. I gave gripe water,for where? I used warm water to press the navel ,for where?. In short we all did vigil last night.

This seems like the b*tch called colic- my greatest fear in a newborn. Gripe water rarely does a thing; tbh. Try and lay him face down on your thighs and rock him; it worked transiently for my son.
The whole episode passed after 6-8 excruciating weeks without doing anything.
Sorry

I'm glad i stumbled on this thread

My own parents' marriage is nothing to write home about; will be 37years old in February. I grew up in a highly dysfunctional Christian home where my parents would keep malice with each other for 3/4months,go to church and act like Deacon/Deaconess. infact, we would still hold morning devotion daily sef with only my mom coordinating,i couldn't go to school for some days especially when the quarrel was 'fresh' because if i ask my dad for tfare; he would refer me to my mom and vice versa. That's how I'd end up staying at home.
Trust we children to pick the malicious attitude- my sister and I would keep malice for weeks/months sef; no matter what my mom says we wont bulge. Its that bad!
I'm glad i made conscious effort to stop keeping malice even when i try so hard to do so now; I just cant!.

Because my parents' marriage is whack and i dont pray for my archenemy to have such; i watched and prayed very well before marrying. I was- maybe- petty about my choice- you cant be a dirty guy; i would run
If you are not a lil bit(20% sef) domesticated,i would run. My papa no fit use hin hand wash hin pants; he'd rather wear it like that.
If you pick quarrels easily with people around you,i pick race. My dad has no friend! He fights everybody on the street,at work,in church. His life is never peaceful; I kid you not.
If you cant renew your drivers' licence/ change your car tires in good time; i would run. My dad would never do any of this. No! Money isnt the problem. He'd rather travel at night than renew his licence.To me; you are not responsible if you do all these.
These points are petty right? But it's what my father is( dont get me wrong; he is a very good father but the most wicked husband I've seen in my entire life).

When people ask if there are good marriages i beat my chest and say whatever I say about my marriage is what it is; regardless of our very occasional nasty fights which is part of the whole God-ordained thingy.I'm glad to have married a great guy( i looked and looked for all these petty things before i followed him) and I always pray it continues this way because my father didnt hate his wife before he married her.

Marry your friend sha; e get why

I hear induction is very painful…that’s why some ppl prefer to wait for labour to start on it’s own…when you push with contractions….someone said induction doesn’t give the same contraction like normal…and more painful….I dunno sha as I’m a ftm

Hi,mama. Please,go to the hospital if you are 40weeks+ already
I had my membrane swept during my first ( on my first edd); was told to prepare to come back before the end of the day. 2hours later after hot semo and okro soup,my water broke(4pm). I went back to the hospital in diaper; water kept dripping. A drug was inserted to start active labor; las las active labor started 10pm; gave birth 4am. It wasnt all what people painted it to be. I'd say the painful part was the chucking of hands inside me- just endure the pain and dont let them be chucking and chucking especially those with fat palms...na die o
I still keep praying not to hit 40weeks this time around because I'd start to panic.

The Interview Waiver is currently available to those whose Visa expired up to 48 months ago, which means you should qualify. However, this concession will end on the 31st of December 2021, at which time the Interview Waiver may likely revert to 12/24 months post expiration.

Yayy! Thanks alot

Hello mamas, how many bag of Lipton tea with milk and little sugar can I take a day?
I don’t have any appetite and nothing goes down except this Lipton tea.

Hi,mama. Sorry ehn
I dont think Lipton is caffeinated( caffeine should be taken at the barest minimum if it cant be avoided) though some people claim it doesnt make them sleep if taken. If it doesnt affect you; keep taking it. I took tea alot in my first trimester too. Note that sugar and milk is fattening,can add to baby's weight and also increase risk of gestational DM. So,just add little creme and sugar to taste if you cant avoid it totally. Regardless of how uncomfortable pregnancy is; the joy is worth it

Congratulations to our new mums, all this B A is just sweeting my body.

Team January mamas! I hope we are warming up? God will see us through in Jesus name. Amen!

I m almost 35weeks and it seem my baby girl is cramped in my belly, I can’t wait to serve her eviction notice in 2 weeks time..

Merry Christmas house.

Hi,Cappo! We good..as for me;its one toilet roll per day secondary to frequent urination,nausea and loss of appetite . I'm glad the pelvic and leg pain I had is gone and I sleep one day on ;one day off now- better than when I couldn't.Bump is now soooo down but this December is now dragging sha.

Abu23Rahman:
Pls I need your help.. it's been four weeks we confirmed that my wife is pregnant..
Is this miscarriage what can we do....pls help.. she has been sad since last night

Congratulations,sir. Being weary worsens the case as there are alot of Maybe. Could be threatened abortion,could be any other thing and it could mean 'nothing' too. Go to the hospital asap ,please. Strips still confirm pregnancy

Teminisuccess66:
Good morning mommas, please kindly recommend a good hospital to register for ante-natal around olaniyi Abule egba to be precise.

I had my first at Ayodele (Jonathan Coker road). Highly proficient Doctors, Nurses are equally proficient BUT they rarely wear gloves to take blood samples. I showed them pepper- I mean dont touch me without wearing gloves.Reception people no get sense- they act like demigods; very nasty. If you are not on hmo; please flee..too expensive It's like general hospital in terms of crowd; pregnant women fight every Saturday after antenatal classes whilst waiting to see the Doctor*lol*. They have alot of pregnant women client...asides these small small nonsense; its a very good place to do antenatal and give birth. There's a private ward as well; was 5k per night. I loved loved the privacy it gave.
General hospital ifako ijaye is good..mean staff(buy a carton of malt to appease their chi) ward aide determines if and when you'll see the Dr. Crowd is madttt.
Agege General Hospital is equally good. Less crowd.The problems here are mosquitoes and no light which is a general menace;imo- last I heard tho.

Please note that I put RENEW in caps, if it’s a first time application you need an appointment date.
I did mine in Calgary incase anyone is wondering.

Thanks for reading lol

Hi! Thanks for this. Do you know if one can also renew 3years post expiration? Tried getting this info on the webpage but couldnt. Guess I have to pay first .Unfortunately,i cant travel if i need to attend an interview rn.

Segedinho:
Thanks ma.



Scan shows the baby is about 3.7kg also...

Orobo baby

Segedinho:
Thanks ma.

I understand everything you said and even did a quick research on it...

On the height :I am tall ..abt 5.8ft....my wife should be around 5.2ft as she is tall as well..

I spoke with her about it...she agreed but she accept it will be secondary I.e when labor fails...that she can't just go for CS by choice.

You welcome. The smaller diameter isnt subject to short ladies only;u get. Its only relatively common in them. Some women have a male type of pelvis too(regardless of their height)
Oh;well .if your Dr(s) suggests CS as the only option;do you have an option?
Let's all be alive(mummy and baby);that's the most important thing o;please because the pain i am passing through ehnn; i just want to be over and done with this-regardless of the delivery method. Cheers!

Segedinho:
u
Yeah pelvic scan.....


Here is the result self .

I prefer CS self as long as my love and my love 2 are alright..

Hi,daddy baby. Pelvimetry is a test that measures the space the pelvis has- forgive me I'm trying to use layman's term. If you look at the result;it says something diameter(the female pelvis has a measurement (inlet and outlet) that will be enough for the baby to pass through. Whilst the male pelvis has a measurement as well;its inadequate for baby passage according to God's formulae. Also,the reason why most short (sorry if you are short ) females are 'jokingly' told they will give birth through cs is simply because the pelvic measurement MAY BE inadequate for baby passage(no one can tell except through pelvimetry) because of their height.
This measurement doesnt mean that's totally why your baby is in breech presentation as some babies may not turn at term even if their mommies have the right pelvic measurement.
According to the conclusive part of this report,it says the pelvic measurement isnt adequate for vaginal delivery even if your baby isnt in breech position.
Modified: i thought you already spoke with your doc about the result.
Best wishes

I am at my mom's place now.
I need help.

This is the best place to seek refuge- your mom's.
I'd advise you stay there for sometime inorder to get yourself together and re-strategise.
If you need to change your children's school to a cheaper one;please do. As much as people may beg to differ; i believe if they attend a cheaper school and you put in the effort to help them study(if time permits you); they would come out to be on top-speaking from personal experience
I understand what you are going through; I still see my mom go through this as a grandmother that i asked her to leave her marriage of almost 40years earlier this year ;she still chose to stay. I only console her that her children are doing fine ;that should be her source of joy and maybe ONLY achievement in her marriage.
Regardless of who/what you believe in,use that name to pray for your children and choose to live because of them.
If your enemy dies now; the man can remarry and move on easily. Life goes on,so dont allow your health to fail because of this issue.
Men! Men! Even the so-called good one;does his brain not touch occasionally?
I always tell my partner when necessary-whatever happens; i will live to train my children.
Remember; YOLO

dunnybaby:
Cappo,we are fine o. Just that am confused. I told my pastor about the bladder prolapse and that doctor said if it doesn't go back by tomorrow which is my next appointment,he will book me for C.S next week. He encouraged me to exercise faith that it will definitely go back. Am exercising faith o,hubby is also a pastor but he is already preparing for whatever comes because he doesn't want to take chances. I have also been reading about it but nothing much on it and vagina delivery on the internet. Pls if anyone has idea,just enlighten me more. Do you think I should wait till labour starts and try vagina delivery with faith or I should just go for the C.S? The bladder prolapse is still too there as I type,if open my V,you will easily see it protruding but I feel since I have delivered vaginally twice before,maybe I can try it.

Please,in GOD'S name,follow your doctor's advice. YOLO
