Do a pregnancy test...you might be pregnant. Pregnancy hormones affect the taste of breastmilk.which forces most babies to stop breastfeeding.

My baby groaning and stretching while breastfeeding, was th le first signs of pregnancy for me.

Pregnancy hormone affects taste of BM? . I never hear dis one b4 o

hence i always look for "professionally"creche, if its not one nanny to two children...NO No for me


for me trust is relative, if i cant leave a nanny with my AtM and pin and trust she wont defraud me, i will NEVER leave her alone with my child, because my child is more precious than my bank balance..

This ur analogy of nanny and ATM, hmmm ok. lemme think abt it. i dey come

Pls mamas help me, my ds ws gvn his 6 wks vaccine,one of the leg is swollen
He has bn making this straining noise as if he wnts to poo,and his belly button comes out and refuse to go bck I took him to d doc that same day in d aftnun and was told no cause 4 alarm. We didn't sleep all tru to d night due to d strain noise and the again I notice his part if is head goin up and down and it extend to d forehead givn it a triangle lik shape.when he cries I see veins on his head.
I don't knw wat to do.pls help me.

Wonderfl mama, 1st of all, relax . For d leg, just dont worry, it ll go down wt tym. My baby's own took up to 1wk or more b4 it completely went down. U dont need to apply anything. For d restlessness, u cld gv pcm if u feel he s in pain, bt it may nt b necessary for more dan 24hrs. Abt d part of his head going up and down(lol), mama relax inu? its completely normal. It ll b closing small small as he develops till it finally closes at abt 9-18months. Bt mama, e good as u come ask ur questions here. Jisike, u re doing a great job.

If use abidec..seems d abidec isn't strong.started taking pap since yesterday night,yes difference nd will continue.thanks a lot winnie....

Good to know dat. Then continue it. BTW, how old s ur baby?

chelsea25:
Her neck,back,red spoits almost everywhere. She said d nraa is caused by sugar in d breast.that d oil will dilute it.she is a mother of 7 month old baby.just wish to confirm from other mothers.

dat na old wives' tale. D components of ur breastmilk are in d correct proportion. I wld suggest u tk ur daughter to a paed to physically examine d rash.

morrygreat:
Thanks

Pls he has been drinking frisolac for so long then I know change to Similac sensitive Birth-12 months pls is it ok? Because it seems the milk is somehow scarce

As long as she s tolerating d nrw one and its appropriate for her age, then ba wahala.

morrygreat:
He doesn't like eating, and please which is better Pap or Custard, he will be six months by next week so I want to start solid food with him, thanks

If he s bn like dat since, then it may just b his nature. Bt u cld gv multivite to boost his appetite. I ll prefer pap, in my opinion, i think its more nutritious. if u cld mix grains, fyn. i gv my baby millet/guineacorn pap and its good on him.

odimbannamdi:
the truth is beginning to emerge. thank you brother

wow, u really did a good job, posting ur whatsapp chart. After saying in d thread dat its unlimited call and sms to every1, he now tells u its just for those regiatered. Y didnt he mention d 3k earlier in d thread. smh

morrygreat:
Mamas pls which is better Abidec. Or B complex? Thanks

Wot do u want to give d drug for? I guess wot u re treating ll determine wch is better.

chelsea25:

Wot part of her skin has d redness, her bum? Wot hv u used so far for it? Abeg e, d person dat said u shld put oil in a 3month old's mouth, wot did she say it is for cos i never hear dat one b4 o

chelsea25:
Someone should come to my rescue oooooo.my baby recovered from fever,lost appetite to d minimum now she sucks B more often but my BM isn't flowing much.pls mums what should I do so that my BM can rush like tap... .

how old is ur baby. U can give multivite to boost his appetite, take plenty fluids like tea etc to help ur milk production, pap too. Plus keep putting him to breast. D suckling reflex ll help too.

mytestimony:
After vaccination when does baby's body start to get hot?
If baby's body is not hot must pcm still be given?

he s body musnt get hot. If he doesnt hv fever, and isnt in pain then dont gv pcm. Give him breastmilk judiciously. He ll b fyn.

Firstimer:
ok tnx.
But does it also delay crawling?
My baby is goin to 8mths n has bin using walker since 6mths. Doesnt crawl yet but moves wit tummy on d bed and loves to stand all the time.

no it doesnt affect crawling at all. Just kno dat children re different. Ur baby ll soon start. My baby also started wt d tummy thing for a while b4 d proper crawling.

Firstimer:
pls why did you suggest she stops using it at 9months

Its written in some of d walkers. Some schools of thought hv it dat it delays walking.

NoQualms1:
Mamas, una weldone o.

Please, what's your take on the use of baby walkers?

My husband wants us to get one for my baby that is almost 5 months old. I read online that it should be used from when baby is 6 months old but he's not ready to hear. I also read on babycentre.co.uk that it is not good for babies at all, that it interferes with their development. She disturbs a lot and he feels getting a baby walker will make her busy and disturb less.

Anyone with experience on it's use should say something please. Thanks.

I think she s ok for a walker, as long as she had attained neck control. U ll just hv to put dat covering on d under so her feet doesnt touch d ground. Then she may hv to stop using it at 9months.Bt for her age, she can use a walker

rezzy:
I bottlefeed him. ok, will try different methods.
Thank you

try giving wt cup and spoon then. he ll probably take more.

cheenway:
I just started using gas for my cooking and I've been using this for seven weeks now. Please what signs do I need to look out for to know that my gas is getting finished? Thanks...

U may never really get to know. It ll just finish, just like dat, lol. But wt tym, u ll b able to estimate how long a cylinder ll last and then wt tym u get a second cylinder.

rezzy:
He doesnt like eating. sometimes, it takes him 4 hrs before he takes another feed and not that he took much previously. many attimes, he doesnt finish that smallest feeding bottle(75ml)

i think he s too young to b eating 4hrly. Try feeding him 2 hrly. Does he tk BM in btwn. Do u bottlefeed or spoon feed? Try changing methods. Continue breastmilk too and plenty water. Dont wait for him to cry b4 u feed.

mydreams25:
Good morning dear mamas. My son will be 3months in 2weeks and am giving him Nan 1. I was surprised when i saw Nan 2&3 in the market because i didnt know they exist. Am worried maybe i should have switched to either of 2 or 3,pls at how many months will a baby starts taking Nan 2&3?

. Nan 1 is frm 0-6months, 2 is frm 6-12months, 3 is frm 1-3yrs.

FINA4804:
@bossyladyMo, yes it's the dollar increase it used to be cheaper. @rezzy,it may help your baby in weight but one thing I know it will do is make your baby healthy

Hello dear. Long tym. What did ur paed say abt d colgate toothpaste for children.

rezzy:
Will these brand of formula help my son increase in weight?
At birth 2.89kg now 5 months and 9 days don't think he is up to 6kg because at 4 months he was 5kg.

Im planning to introduce cereals [cerelac] at 6 months. Presently, he takes 400g of NAN for 6 days. He doesn't like eating.

Thanks

How often do u feed him. Mayb u cld increase frequency of feeds. Dont bombard him wt drugs to mk him add. He s probably nt on d big side like u or ur hubby.

desiree:
Ah!! I give my son gripe water daily. Its probably not oral thrush then. I will book another doctors appointment and see what they say.

What a relief.... thanks ever so much.

I ll say stop d gripe water. Keep cleaning wt salt water and his wash cloth. It ll clear wt time.

Ezeanna:
Hello mamas, i have a 2 weeks old baby. I haven't been giving him any drugs. Some friends are suggesting I start giving him ampiclox drop and Nospamin drop, that it helps to calm their stomach and make them sleep better at night.
Should i try them? I'm a Ftm.

pls dont. There s no need to.

Congrats Splendblex. Interesting birthstory!

MGeey:
Hello mamas, how Una dey? Please help out. Is it advisable to treat malaria at 3rd trimester? If one does not get it treated, will it affect the baby? I'm 34 weeks gone and I'm having minute malaria symptoms but hubby does not want to hear malaria drugs at this stage because of stories. Please I need your advice. Thanks in advance

Malaria can b harmful to ur baby. See ur dr and do an mp before taking any drug. Depending on d severity, there re drugsa dat re safe for each stage of pregnancy.
