my husband is scared of the idea of water his doctor friend said it worsens colic in baby and causes the baby to fall sick in the nearest future but I gave my first son water very well before he was 6months. I don't know why doctors keep saying water is dangerous for a baby that is not up to 6months

Do exclusive breastfeeding so you dont have to give water then.

Linda2019:
Please mothers is it wrong to give babies below 3months water, I know medically it's wrong but my mother and mother-in-law has been on my neck to give water mainly because I'm using formula and also breastfeeding the baby.

Since you are giving formula, you have to give water to avoid constipation. If you were giving only breastmilk, there wouldn't be any need for water.

i was told by the nurses to either use cup and spoon or syringe for injection to feed my baby

This is very correct. We used syringe while at the hospital or spoon. They didn't didn't allow bottle feeding at all.

i swear to God!!! I am suspecting dt man is d one responsible 4 wat is happening to d babies... Ha!!! I am so angry, very angry ooo... So pipu r just not nice.

If you dont want the babies why not opt for family planning or something? Why subject an innocent helpless woman to such horrible experiences. Its really painful.

I lost him same year I lost my beloved mother,and same day my eldest child added a year +. After his death,I will carry all the baby things,both the one he used and not yet used,sniff them and cry silently,when my other kids aren't around. After 4 months I took in again,and I was happy,at least it will help alot to ease my heart. But what happened? I fell sick,hubby refused me to go to hospital,he said he will call his nurse instead,he bought drugs,my sickness still persisted and he wasn't happy I was down,he came home one night with another set of drugs saying this one is strong and will make me better,my instinct was rejecting it,I told him these ones are too strong for me,I will call my doctor,this man started nagging that so I am calling him senseless and don't know what is good for his own wife? Last last he forced me to take it in his presence,big big drugs o. The next morning I carry phone to check Google and what I saw shocked me. I started panicking. I can't go out to see a doctor,where is the money? He made me a full house wife,wetin I go carry use?

I told him what I found out,he started nagging again and forced me to take it,what Happened next? I started bleeding when he was not at home,before I knew it,the little festus there was out,it has already form sef,tiny hands,legs but no hair or sex yet. I was so traumatized,oya let me go to the hospital to do scan,he said ok. He keeps delaying till blood flow stopped.
After a week blood started flowing again,mind you I was still spitting and vomiting all this while. I started getting weak,see heavy clots of blood,my sister you go fear,I fainted more than twice, that was when I was rushed to the hospital and it was confirm there is a little product left and placenta,my dear I went through another horrible evacuation. That was how I lost my twins baby again. I shared this here, because I know other Mamas will learn one or two things.

I don't know if I should share what also lead to my one month old babys death. Hmmm.

I remember you very well. I remember the first one you lost exactly 1month after birth around November 2020 or so. I see you here and i am like this lady is really strong to be this happy and all with all she has been through. This thread is more than just a normal nairaland thread, it is like family. I'm so sorry for all you went through, i know God will definitely put a smile on your face soonest. We will keep praying for you. Please do share what happened with the first, we can learn a thing or 2 from it

ChizziCindy:
BA/BS
Just gave birth to a bouncing baby girl via VG
EDD 21st April
DOB 18th April
My BS story is a very interesting one from beginning of conception right till Birth.
The conception came as a surprise because my last pregnancy was CS, since baby was breeched, so we wanted to wait for her to clock 3 before trying again, but God knows best. Was praying for both of them to be birthday mate because my first is April 16.
As the pregnancy progressed baby was in breeched position, but thank God she later turned head down.. Because the doctors were already giving option of CS, since I wanted to try VBAC...Went to the hospital on Sat and doctor checked and said my OS is still closed, funny enough my water broke that very night and labor started, I had already been briefed that I won't be induced because of the previous,that labor would have to be natural since I wanted to try VBAC ..Omo the pain was something else,for almost 24hours i was in labor... But thank God it finally ended in praise... Wishing rest mamas safe delivery....

Congratulations to you ma.

Please i want to ask, whats the age difference between your two kids? The bs sounded like it was less than the 3yrs. I am thinking of vbac but fear dey catch me

FlowerGirl040:
Exactly,a new mum is supposed to be pampered,be on bed rest for atleast a month or more,to regain her strength etc. I do feel for you seriously, you are trying. I do fall sick latest before 2 months after childbirth Bec no time to rest like that, coupled with sleepless nights.

Some visitors add to the stress instead of easing it. If you ask me, just 1 person is enough. The rest can be coming from time to time. Not live-in biko. I no even get money to feed any extra mouth.

Fisco123:
Please has anyone used Mother and child hospital Adeniyi Jones Ikeja for CS before.? What was your experience with them?

Yes, i did cs there in 2020. No regrets whatsoever.

whiteMandingo:
2 yr old toddler, isnt keen on switching to adult food, still prefers cereals - and its getting expensive now. its been a running battle trying to get h interested in nomral food, he sometime liked and ate rice, beans swallow, sometime ago, but he runs away if you bring it now.

has anyone experienced this and how did you resolve it

I am on this boat o. My baby is 1yr and 4months. She used to like swallow, beans, rice, etc. Now, she wouldnt even taste it not to talk of eat it. Maybe those with experience can help us out

Pojomojo:
I dey follow up on my HMO and ask questions on a regular. Most hospital are guilty of extortion especially if you don't know what your HMO plan.

They recently sent us a list of all the hmo covers cause the complaints were getting too much, including the things that had limits. Most people at my workplace never knew they are entitled to private wards. They just throw you into general ward and collect money for private ward from hmo people

Pojomojo:
The hospital. The hospital is saying my HMO delivery is 40k whereas HMO is saying it's 300k for delivery exclusive of CS. That particular doctor is know for exploiting ignorant folks but not me. She refused me calling the HMO in her presence saying they will sanction them . Well! Delivery can be done anywhere

Hospitals are known for exploiting hmo patients.
Some would give an empty paper to sign without indicating the real bill so they can inflate it and extort the hmo companies

kokaiye:
pls wat is HMO?!

Health maintenance Organisation....health insurance

beautyuche:
I can’t even type birth story. I just have one question which is, apart from medical emergencies how does any one opt for CS. Cause the pain I am feeling has messed up the joy of seeing my LO.
I can’t seem to wrap my head around it…..���� what can I do will be discharged tomorrow

Are they not giving you pain killers? You wont be discharged till they switch from injections to oral drugs. The more you move around, the faster the pain goes away. You will be fine ma. Sorry about the pain. In less than a week you wont even notice it again. Just that the area will feel numb for a while. Ndo nwanyi oma, God is your strength

ennon92:
G'afternoon house!

My 3 weeks old baby stretches frequently, complained to the doctor, he said baby has stomach disturbance, then prescribed the drug below for him.

We took him to "Elewe omo" Herbal shop, we were told his head is open, I don't understand what that means?


Hope all is well tho

Nawa o. From hospital to herbal shop. 3weeks old baby. You people will not allow the baby grow in peace.

The open head you are talking about is in every baby and will not close anytime soon. Its called fontanelle. A simple google search will explain it. Biko dont give that baby anything in the name of covering the open head before you end up harming that child.

AAA593:

Was it her ghost that performed two weeks ago?

No need to argue with you. She wasn't qualified for the top 12 in the first place, so she had to be voted out when the opportunity came

AAA593:

Banty must be the comfort of this season

Stop picking on Banty and tell us if your Precious qualified for top 12

AAA593:


You called her last performance horrible. Banty has always been terrible. Banty can't match this girl


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ya_C_9IZKrs

She didn't deserve to be in top 12. We all know that

Bloomingbud:
Good morning mamas.

Second time mum in the house, I was team Feb 2018 and now team Oct 2022 though unplanned but God gave his it his own way and I'm happy to be having another baby. Anybody used Solid rock hospital Ojodu for delivery? That's my HMO so I want to know if I can use them for delivery or just change to Mother and Child.

I had my baby at Mother and Child. Will still use them for the next....excellent services

AAA593:

Precious is far better than Banty.

But she entered top 12 through backyard.

I'm not a fan of Banty anyway

AAA593:
I don't if Nigerians are voting for talent or for preferred candidates. I don't know if the organizers of this show are handpicking them. Precious performance last week was not bad compared to some members of the current 10 top. I don't trust the votes results at all. Please watch Precious last performance after her eviction. Behind the stage.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W17VFHbGu68

Same way they picked her for top 12 when she messed up her song and dropped the likes of Ochiora and other people that did way better than her.

Mummytoo:


O boy
I'm shocked

If it was 'affordable' dont you think a lot of people would be using it instead of going through the whole delivery pain?

Mummytoo:


My fellow mummy

360k only for the injection or the full delivery services?

My hospital said it was 200k then, in 2020. Dont know the price now. Just injection, not full delivery

Fisco123:

Please mummies, who have used or know about mother and child hospital at Adeniyi Jones ikeja Lagos.How good are they in CS because i am planning to go for my 3rd CS. Please any other suggestion will be appreciated. Thank you

I used them for my cs in 2020. They are very good. I will still use them for my next

FlowerGirl040:

Please Nancyj, someone paid for your hospital list.
Please give me a mention so you can redeem it

Its Nancyij not Nancyj. God bless whoever made this payment abundantly.

helinues:
Your husband?

Please how long did you people date for before getting married?

Are you saying you married someone without having much knowledge about what he is into?

Her other topic on her profile shows he might be in the marriage for selfish reasons. She is an American citizen and they are trying to get his. He is only using her

Funky123:


Talk about Queen of confusion na me be that
One time they might be guessing I was pregnant and using style to ask when they reply my ststus another time I am posting one of my size 26 waist pictures I have been keeping
Las las everybody go Dey alright, except for people who has seen me physically nobody knew I was pregnant. Whoever wants to vex should vex

When I had my first baby, one of my cousins was legit upset that I didn't disclose my edd. Like seriously? I changed it for her and asked if she was my doctor abi she planned to come and do omugwo. When I invited her for my baby's dedication 3months later, I still referred her back to her edd nonsense and asked now after all the ranting, have you picked up your phone to call or text to check on us? I told her I was only inviting her cause I just have to since I'm inviting everyone else. That was the only time she ever visited me and we live like 20minutes away.
Mmmmssshhhheeewww

FlowerGirl040:
