I will find a way to talk to him...

Let both of you visit the gynea and let the doctor tell him to do an SFA. You can act like he's only just accompanying you to see the doctor.

Zain007:

GO through googlepay (GPAY) route among the available funding options and this should work fine

Thanks.

MummyHalo:

Plus formula but it's just about 60mls once in a day. Every other meal is breast milk.
We have been feeding her with cup and spoon since morning. It seems like she cannot control her sucking reflexes. The little milk that gets into her mouth either from the breast or bottle spills out.

Do you give water after formula? Hope you are giving the right measurements for formula? 2 level spoons for 60mls of water.

Can a six months old also take PICCA pls? I'm giving my son Babyrex but seems not to be working for him

Pediatricians have warned against giving children 'teething' medicine. It wasn't too long ago that 'my pikin' teething powder caused a lot of deaths.

Teething is a natural phenomenon not an illness. If a baby is stooling, has fever etc whilst sprouting a tooth please take the child to the hospital to ascertain the cause.

Here are some tips to help your baby feel better while teething:

Use a clean finger (or cold teething ring) to gently rub your baby’s gum for about 2 minutes at a time. Many babies find this soothing, although they may protest at first.
⦁ Provide safe objects for your baby to chew on, such as teething rings.
⦁ If needed, give your baby an over-the-counter pain reliever e.g. Paracetamol that is labeled for his or her specific age. Read and follow all instructions.
⦁ Do not give aspirin to anyone younger than 20, because it has been linked to Reye syndrome, a rare but serious disease.

MummyHalo:
Hello mamas. My daughter would be 2weeks old tomorrow. She had been latching and sucking well up until early this morning. It suddenly seems like she can no longer latch or suck. The little milk that gets into her mouth runs out even when we bottle feed. She has been crying for food since morning. I'm so confused.
Please help a first time mom.

Exclusively breastfed or plus formula?

Good day everyone.
Has anyone tried (successfully) to fund their T212 account using a US bank issued card?

yes he went to the lab for the semen analysis, he did it around 9am on Monday but the lab attendant later explained to us that she only collect samples but the real owner of the lab works at a general hospital so he came around 12 of same day to collect the sample to the lab at the govt hospital he work, am surprise because the lab result the sperm count decrease so much from 26million to 8million

It's a waste of money.
Next time go to a standard lab that can run the test themselves. The test is supposed to be done within 1hr of sample collection. >3hrs means the result is inaccurate.

Mandela89:
Good day house, please my husband did a semen analysis at a lab center around 9am but from the lab attendant her boss came to collect the sample around 12pm of same day to take to his lab for examination, my question is that hope the delay between the semen ejaculation and sample collection won't have an effect on the result

I guess you mean your husband dropped his sample at 9am?
Analysis should be done within 1hr of sample collection.

Come to Bonny island and see, good roads with no pot holes, 24hrs light no blinking, pure cruise. Travel and see bro

I guess you mean the RAs?

Adeoma:
Hello mothers and doctors in the house,

Pls, kindly give me your best advice on this result.
I did the scan today.
I'm so confused..
I'm TTC
Sperm leak out in large quantity after meeting my husband
Heavy periods
Watery discharge after period
Bleeding after period
I'm crying right now...
So scared and confused

When did you do the last scan that the doctor told you the fibroid was small and not causing issues?

11cm*9.6cm fibroid is really big and with all the symptoms you're having you're better off taking it out.

Angel333:
KY jelly is not good for ttc, it is written on the nody as well. Doctors in the uk advised not to use it while ttcing.

Noted, thanks.


I used a store brand water based lubricant while trying to conceive my second...just seeing its not recommended. I guess I was just lucky.

Omorwumi:
Someone should pls help me.i heard preseed fertility lubricant is not good.has anyone use it and got pregnant. Pls help

Why did they say preseed is not good?

Preseed is a water based lubricant and all water based lubricant are good during ttc cos they don't kill the sperm by acting like a spermicide.

Preseed is good, just expensive because it comes with an applicator so you can apply it inside your vagina.
KY jelly is inexpensive and will work too.

africaflozy:


Thanks Mama sugah, how's the LOs

They're both doing great, thanks.
Safe delivery dear

Congratulations to all March mamas that have delivered so far and I wish safe delivery to the remaining mamas.
Congratulations to the new preggos and crossovers from TTC thread.

The AskThePediatricians page on Facebook posted an app that I find will help especially First time mums.
Birth&beyond App is available on both playstore and ios.

purplish:

It went really well! Nobody complained about my milk and I even got away with wearing my footwear to go through security grin Everybody let me jump queues too, from check-in to boarding! Best thing was my baby slept through most of the flight. Thanks mama kiss

Great!

Glowing1:


Ma i don tire for d whole process its so tiring, I will opt for breast pump, wch would u recommend ? D electric or manual?

I have both electric and manual. The manual is tommee tippee brand (12k500) and electric is a chinko brand I bought on jumia for 6k.
Personally I prefer using the manual cos I get more milk out and I can move around while pumping.

Good evening mamas in d house. I started exclusive breastfeeding ystdy, it's been 3days my baby has not poo, as if thats not enough since today till now she hasn't pee, not even a aingle time. Now my mum is saying how will she pee when we don't give her water. Pls help me, cos I dont know if all is well with her

This is a picture of breastmilk stored in the fridge. The thick whitish part on top is the fat and all the nutrients and water is below it. So, No you don't need to give water to an exclusively breastfed baby.
EBF can either poo after every meal or go upto 2 weeks without pooing, it's normal.
However, her not peeing might mean she's not getting enough milk. So what you should do is to get a breastpump to express milk. Breastfeed her then top it up with expressed milk.

You have to eliminate the chatter..thank God its your own mother so she wouldn't feel slighted when you tell her to stop stressing you with the water issue..stress will affect your production.

Adexmerry:
I don't know if anyone remembers me in here..but I came back to return the glory to God ..it's a BIG FAT POSITIVE after all said and done since 2018.. from low sperm count to infections, to ovarian cyst, to irregular menstruation. it's victory at last..

Congratulations mama. I wish you a happy and healthy journey and a safe delivery.
Kindly share your WIDD

joliefille:
God did it.

Come April 2021, my marriage will be 5years. There have been so many diagnoses; low sperm count, high prolactin, endometritis, chocolate cyst and cervical stenosis.
We tried IUI and God made it work. We are pregnant.

For high prolactin I used Dostinex
I used herbs, foods and spices for cyst management
Endometritis was sorted by hysteroscopy and curetage
We did IUI to bypass the blocked cervix.
Please do not give up. We will all carry our babies in our womb and our hand in Jesus name.
Amen.

Shalom.

Congratulations mama. Have a healthy and happy pregnancy and safe delivery when due.

Mamas, I am travelling alone with my 6-week-old baby soon and I am very nervous. Its a local flight, 1 hour max, plus additional 2hr+ trips to/from the airports. Does anyone have tips to share eg. how to pack essentials but pack light, go through airport security with some milk, protect my baby's ears from plane noise and keep her calm throughout? Thanks in advance!

Travelling alone with a baby can be a bit stressful sometimes but being prepared helps reduce the stress.

Packing: you'd check in the bag containing your lotions etc but make sure you pack all baby essentials in a carry on. Diaper/wipes/clothes to last you a whole day (just in case the airline delays your checked-in baggage)

Milk: you can carry milk in those storage bags that has an ice pack..Nigerian aviation security people can be silly sometimes, don't let them bully you into believing you can't carry milk onto the plane.

Plane noise..isn't really a problem for a 1hr flight..however you should be more concerned about pressure changes during climbing and descending and the effects on ear drums...if she sleeps through those phases it wouldn't be a problem but if she's awake and starts becoming cranky and crying it means the pressure change is affecting her ears. Sucking on something(breast/pacifier/bottle) will relieve the pain.

Put your baby in a carrier so your hands are free for the journey especially the check-in and boarding process. You don't have to remove the carrier to go through security.
You'd need an ID/means to show your baby's birth date for check-in. Hope you indicated you're travelling with an Infant on the ticket?

What syrup can I use for my child. Her teeth is disturbing her. They are just growing

You don't give any medication or syrup for teething.
Either use your clean finger to rub/massage her gums or get her teether toys.

Next time post your child related questions on this thread

Thanks ma, i appreciate

You're welcome

Joshua62:
Good morning to all mothers in the house.

My 2 months old son has this recurring pus boils on his face..not big boils..small about 5 boils.
What can we use to clear off the boil.

Best regards

Boils are usually a sign of bacterial infection (according to pediatricians)
See a doctor for drug prescription.
Always ensure anyone handling the baby washes their hands before touching him.

m4mnkem:
Good evening mummies and daddies, how are we doing? I pray God answers everyone prayers speedily in Jesus name Amen. Pls, wat can I use to boost my pcv level as it is very low as am preparing to go for fibroid surgery thanks in advance as I await your responses

Ferrous tablets.

shithapuns:


Same wahala we are facing now.

They said Mlm - iron supplements and vitamin b complex supplements helps.

Someone mentioned deworming too.

Please deworming starts at age 1 not below.

shithapuns:


ok, we give fruit pureee as well. Baby Shows interest when we give adult food, mashed rice, swallow etc...

What of the formular, you still add it to the blended adult food?, Learnt they need the nutrients in formular for proper development.

You can keep adding the formula/breastmilk to foods that it'll go with...like fruits (avocado, banana etc). But you can also just offer them the milk when you feed stuff like amala.
I'm assuming your baby has gone pass the stage of purees, right?

shithapuns:


Even with the salt, pepper , maggi etc?
We wanted to do rhat, and someone adviced that salt and pepper isnt good for babies under 1yr and cooking specially for them without those ingredients is time consuming, for now we hive Tom brown & mis with formular

Only tombrown and formular? pls give your baby varieties naw....
You can have a separate stew for baby that you can mix with okro or ewedu for amala. Stew with mashed rice/sweet potatoes/beans...

mayornmn:
Oh wow!
Thank you so much

Uwc.
Forgot to add; on point 3, if you eat a balanced meal and take lots of water and feed/pump very often your supply will increase...except there's a hormonal imbalance issue.

Also, if possible get a hand pump that you can carry around incase you get stuck somewhere and your boobies starts leaking.

enque:


yeah, i didn't complete it

Ok.
Congratulations...wishing you a healthy journey and safe delivery.

I didn't eventually work during my 6months exclusive cos my work conditions weren't female friendly talk more of baby friendly, so I can only give tips on few questions ..in bold

mayornmn:
Good afternoon mamas
I'm resuming soon and I want to ask some questions from mamas who have exclusively breastfed while working/schooling.Please don't ignore please even if its one you can answer out of the questions please do.My dd is 2 months btw.
1) When do you pump? Do you pump throughout the night when you're back or you pump and store in freezer for future use.
You are supposed to start pumping and storing milk way ahead of your resumption so you can have a good stash to cover for the bad days. BM can stay 6 days in the fridge and 6 months in the freezer. Then when you resume work, if your baby sleeps through the night your breast will be very full in the morning..so schedule a pumping session in the morning before you go to work. If you have a secured place at work where you can pump, you can do so and store in the fridge at work..else you pump when you return from work before or after breastfeeding your baby.

2)If you pump and store in the freezer how do you maintain it with this naija light.
3)When pumping how do you know you need to take a break and how long does it take for the breast to fill back
This shouldn't be a problem if you are lactating well. It takes some people less than 1hr to pump 270mls and some wouldn't get 270mls even if they pump for hours. So either set a time target or quantity target with each pumping session
4)Do you take anything to boost lactation
personally, I'm currently taking everything takeable Although I just started taking them last week cos my supply dropped drastically 2 weeks ago due starvation. I'm doing lactation cookies and fenugreek/fennel seed tea
5)How many mls/ounces do you pump per day
I only manage to pump twice most days..between 90-150mls per session
6)How do you wash and sterilize your pumping parts in between pumping
Yes I do cos I breastfeed between pumps and the sessions are spaced out
7)Where do you store the breast milk after pumping
Get breastmilk storage bags...
Please if you know any where I can pumping bra for plus size breasts in lagos please describe
Thank you

Vyvyanvyvy:
my baby was vomiting and had a running tummy no temperature, we went to the doctor and it has since stopped after some injections but she is  not eating she  just wants breast milk and water please help she is  only 8 months old

Usually they lose their appetite with illness (that's a first sign to know baby is ill, when they start rejecting food)...my pead normally recommends bcomplex to help boost back appetite.

jehovalives:
thank you ma, will do so, can fibroid be responsible? cos it started even before I got pregnant

No.
Hemorrhoids are caused by straining when having bowel movements.
