Well, over here it’s safe and even encouraged for nursing women to take the COVID vaccine so that you are protected and your baby can get the antibiotics which could protect him/her.

What country and what brand of vaccine pls?

Reality2021:
Help plz!!!

Minimum required values are 50%, 50% and above 20million..compare with your values.

Recommended antibiotics to treat the staph infection are listed as "sensitive "

ok, so i still wonder why manufacturers made baby milk for ages 1 to 2yrs and 2 to 3 yrs, if adult milk can fill same niche............
my personal belief is that it may be ok, but not optimal..........................correct me if am wrong. aptamil or sma gold/pro isnt too sweet, its that peak 123 that is known to be too sweet

If they can get money out of you, why not?
I'm not saying it's wrong to continue with those ones, I'm saying pediatricians have said it's OK to switch to full cream adult milk at 1.

Mzwealthy:
Good morning please a ftm to be here . Please what cream can one recommend for a new baby to start using?? And also what diaper is best to use for a baby in nigeria. Will appreciate your reply. Am about to shop for my baby as am drawing nearer to delivery

Any hypoallergenic baby product is OK. There are different brands depending on your pocket size.
Aveeno, sebamed, cussons, asda etc.

For diaper, so far Asda little angels diaper is my favourite. The newborn/size 1 stage has a pee indicator that changes color when baby pees. It also has double elastic on the legs to prevent blowouts.

MomoAdura:


Baby wey Sabi.
My friend's daughter won't take any other food also except amala and ewedu

Low expense babies ni yen.

Babies are funny.

My 8months old daughter will fight everytime you try to feed her. Sometimes once she sees her bib she just breaks out into a loud cry...you'd practically have to hold her down and sing plenty songs for her to eat everyother food but you see Amala and ewedu That's the only food she sits on her chair for. Infact, if you don't bring the food to her mouth quickly enough she'd drag your hands.
Now we are eating amala everyday

cretin:


why adult milk, when there is baby milk for her age? there is stage 3 baby milk for 1 to 2 yr olds...giving an infant adult milk, is a waste if you ask me

Not quite.
Adult milk (full cream) is OK for babies above 1. Sometimes those children milk like 123 are soo sweet it makes babies stool.

Folakemi2021:
This is my husband test result please is This normal at all .. please sabi mamas help me

Poor parameters.
If he drinks and smokes he needs to stop.
A lifestyle change, healthy eating and exercise, Manix + Vit E + Vit C should help solve the oligospermia.

podium:
My daughter is three weeks, her temperature is hot... Please can she be given paracetamol drop!

You need to use a digital thermometer to check her temperature.
Temperature above 37.5 is a fever and you can give pcm...but see a doctor if fever persists

Carmydoll:
Mamas in the house, l greet you all.
New comer to the thread but have been following even as single lady.

Got married December 2019
Did HSG in April
Got pregnant July 2020 with fibroids
Had miscarriage in September 2020( worst experience of my life)
We stopped trying and booked for Myomectomy in December 2020
We were told to wait till 3 months before trying again so fast forward to April, May, June, nothing. So l changed to another doctor who sent me for another HSG.My tubes came out fine.

He monitored me for July cycle and gave me the HCG trigger shot. We followed with fasting and midnight prayers, hubby is very cooperative too, l bless God for him.

I am happy to announce to you that God has answered our prayers, still like a dream. l got a BFP this week via test strip. I also did blood test yesterday and it was positive too. From my calculation, we are 6 weeks. I will see my doctor on Tuesday to check heart beat and all. Wish me luck

Congratulations mama.
Wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Hold off on the scan, if you don't have any issues like spotting etc hold on until about 9weeks.

tabontabon:
Please house, I need advice and input on this,do not ignore my request I'm pleading.

Regenesis? Is he still in operation?

gifted21:

Pls do not be offended, are you suggesting we go for iui?

Not exactly.
I was only reiterating that the doctor was seriously overcharging and exploiting you. Some hospitals charge about 200-300k for IUI.
You're already on the right path of seeking information on how to change the situation...you can either work with another humane doctor or take some time off to DIY.

barakah:


Please what brand of serrapeptase is best?
What's the dosage and for how long will I use it for best results?
I haven't done a second HSG yet.

The only brand I've seen is "Doctors best" and the higher the dose the better. 120,000SPU taken with the chinese teas xi xian cao and yi mi cao should do the work

tabontabon:
Sorry for your experience with the quack. Please what is the name of the hospital/clinic?

This isn't quackery but full fledged wickedness.

Trendytessy:
@sugah Good day ma, I went to the hospital today cos I was having fever and serious headache yesterday. I explained my situation to the doctor, he did a scan which confirmed there's a viable pregnancy sac.

He sent for FBC and Mp test to confirm Malaria, results should be out tomorrow.

I was given progesterone injection before leaving the hospital. Also, Duphason tablets twice daily was prescribed and complete bedrest. He says spotting should stop in 48hrs (all things equal). I hope he's in line cos it's my 1st visit with him.

Congratulations again.
Yes he is in line.
Confirm the result of the malaria test and if there is, treat it.
Bed rest means you're only standing up from bed to pee or bath. Adhere strictly to the instructions please.
Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy.

africaflozy:


Thanks mama, I went to ENT today and eardrops was prescribed.

Cool.

gifted21:
Pls l want to rant first, forgive me.
Some of these docs think cos we are ttcing we are dumb and big fools. So l have been seeing this doc cos my FSH, lh, and prolactin is high, he gave me parlodel and charged me exorbitantly for it l paid, now he is asking for 25k for cabergoline, l was what? He said yes, after that we will boost my eggs with 85k and he will give me a stimulating injection that will trigger ovulation for another 70k. Oh l forgot he will also be doing TVs to monitor and each session is 10k and he listed abt 12 days for me. I was amazed, pls l av moved.
Dear mamas pls after an extensive research on my part l want to buy fair haven pro and ovaboost what say you pls?

Pls chook mouth ooo

Put all that money together and you're doing IUI in another hospital.

I trust other mamas have done justice to this.

viviparity:
Please@sugah how do I use that drug you suggested___COQ10 and fertilaid ovaboost, should I add letrazol,cos af started today ..help me

Sorry mama I don't have details about this. You'd get more info from the IVF thread.

threegees:

God will bless you for this. I have copied into my notepad. Yeah, she also takes semo and ewedu with fish. It skipped me. But that's once in a while. I'll work with this. Please what about the custard.

Uwc.
Custard is very refined/processed hence doesn't have as much nutrients as pap.
You can add Augustscrets products too.

barakah:


Dear Shugah,
Kindly help with this one.

Hi mama.
No, blocked tubes don't stop ovulation...however there could be a risk of ectopic pregnancy if conception happens with blocked tubes.
The fertilized egg will not be able to travel down to the uterus for implantation and end up growing in the tubes which leads to cutting off the tube.

Have you repeated the HSG after the flushing? Most people add serrapeptase enzyme to flushing to help unblock the tubes.

flawlesskayc:

She said having sex during menstruation can NEVER get anyone pregnant.
That was the post i quoted.
I HAD sex during menstruation and still got pregnant.
Maybe she didn’t really rephrase what she meant proper.

We're saying same thing. Having sex during period can lead to pregnancy cos the sperm can live upto 5 days in the uterus. But actual ovulation while bleeding is what I don't believe

beautyuche:


Just had a scan they say all looks well but no heart beat at 6 weeks. I should return at 8 weeks.
Lord take control.

Calm down mama.
Heartbeats will be there by 8weeks.
I didn't get a Heartbeat for my DD until 8weeks too

Trendytessy:


Hi sug.ah! I did PT test today and tested positive (this is the 2nd home test) but I noticed I've been spotting for some days now though its irregular and not much.

I lost a pregnancy @6weeks last month so I'm worried I might be having a repetition
Pls advise. Thanks

Yaaaay. Congratulations!!!!

Sorry for your previous loss.
You need to confirm the pregnancy with a blood test though.

When it's confirmed, observe bed rest, eat healthy and drink water, take your folic acid, let your partner buy you cyclogest progesterone 400mg and insert morning and night until spotting stops.
Also, register for antenatal early and tell them your history.

flawlesskayc:

It can!!
I conceived my 2nd daughter on d last day of my period.
I have a 24 day cycle & ovulate on day 9 mostly.
Had sex on day 5(still on my period) & became pregnant.
Sperm can last upto 5 days in a woman’s body.

You've explained how this happened so I'm still skeptical about the ovulation during menstruation.
Typically, menstruation happens 14-16 days after ovulation so for your 24 day cycle your ovulation falls between cycle day 8 and 10. You were not really still menstruating at the time of conception, but you were in your fertile period and the sperm lived long enough to fertilise the egg.

I dont know how the fertlised egg will implant if the uterus is still shedding its previous lining...someone should help explain this.

GreaterGraceGG:
Levofloxacin and metronidazole was recommended for me for pid. I have been using it for 7 days now, I started having serious itching and yellow thick discharge yesterday, do I need to be worried?

Cc su.gah
Cc all mamas

If they were recommended by a doctor I suggest you give feedback to the Dr just to be sure.

Deeedeee:
My baby boy will be 8 months next week. He's crawling backward not forward. Pls kindly suggest to me healthy tips I can use to help him crawl forward.
God bless u as you responds.

Apparently, it's normal. Crawling, while good, isn't really a developmental marker cos some kids even skip Crawling totally and move to standing and walking.
Is he trying to pull himself to stand or walk? You should just focus on helping with standing.

Other mamas with experience will respond too

threegees:
Good evening, moms.
Please, I'd like to know if I can start with custard (flavoured ones like banana flavour) and tea with milk for my 10 months old.
I think she's already tired of the brown pap I give her. I'm tired of it too.
She takes Cerelac too, Nutribom with Nan2 (once in a while), and semo and soup.
She has started rejecting noodles and spaghetti. I don't know what to do again. I need help here.

No tea till 1yr.
Are these the only foods she takes?

Amala and ewedu/okro with fish scattered inside
Boiled egg
Avocado cut in pieces so she can't eat herself if she's already trying to eat by herself.
Mashed Beans and plantain
Mashed Yam porridge
Mashed Sweet potatoes
Bread and Peanut butter spread
Oatmeal with milk
Yoghurt
Fruits (bananas, she can eat it herself)
Fish/chicken/beef
Etc

cretin:


the distance is too far, at that age..they are too small forbaby car seats, and cos of safety, you can carry them in your arms...then again..the airline type bassinets, which are used for long trips, isnt safe in a car, incase of a crash or potholes...if you can find a way to secure the baby, lying down on her back..best option then. ..my recommendation is to go by air....the possibility of the baby sustaining long term damage is there....all because of of few thousand naira

Closest airport to Kogi (lokoja) is Abuja, 146km away.
I dont know the condition of the road but it's a private car and I believe who's driving will drive carefully so the baby will be fine if carried properly.
The mother, on the other hand, has probably not even recovered from the delivery. What if she had episiotomy or CS and can barely sit down?
The way mothers are neglected in these decisions is worrying.
Even the flight should be postponed till at least 1 month for the new mom....

Escentialoils:
Pls help! My baby’s hair is falling off. He was born with full hair but now he has like 3 bald patches in different parts of the head. Does anyone know the cause and how it can be treated? I have read about cradle cap and I don’t think it’s cradle cap. Pls don’t scroll past without responding. Help a worried mother.

Why do you think its not cradle cap? Cos what you've described sounds very much like cradle cap.
But trust your institution, if you think its not then please go see your pediatrician.

africaflozy:
Good afternoon mamas.
Please I just discovered my baby was pulling his left ear and I took a touch to check, lo and behold I saw creamy discharge in the ear coming to the external part.
I plan to visit hospital tomorrow but I want to know if anyone has experienced this before.

Most likely infection. No worries, just make sure to see a pediatrician and it'll be sorted.

DoubleeT:

@sugah, please where can I get original aveeno in Lagos cos I heard fake is everywhere and can I start using it right from birth,I mean from day 1

Depends on your location. I live in Ikeja and buy from Alade Market.
