if my baby sleeps during breastfeeding he does not belch what can I do

My daughter used to do that as well. when ever she breastfeeds, she will sleep. and i did not want to wake her to belch in case she doesnt go back to sleep. so, what i used to do is to make her belch sometime into the feeding. you can never really remove ALL the gas from a child's belly when feeding. but making her belch half way usually helps. if she is extra gassy, u can use the style of carrying her on ur shoulder and pat her gently on her back to make her belch. sorry if i keep saying her. it's easier than saying he/she. . .

as for your baby sleeping, if she sleeps a lot during the day, it will be hard to sleep at night as well. even we as adults, if we spend the day sleeping, sleeping at night will be difficult. so, what i suggest, try to keep ur baby awake from 4pm till evening. that should help

yup. doctor's was d first place i went. my mil and i were not at logger heads. she was just surprised and did not understand why not. she's a real dear and gave no stress. she just strongly advised me to do it.

SAMBARRY:
Letting the thing turn to quarrel between you and your mil. Best thing is to see a paediatrician to clear all doubts and give you medical advice that will benefit your baby because the point is that all mothers have different babies that respond to different things. That it worked for baby A doesn't mean it will work for baby b . babies are different. Wura didn't experience such that's why I can't give you an advice however the best advice I can give you is to see a paediatrician like I told you earlier .In fact it beats me.i can't even fathom how your baby will be experiencing such and you think nl will replace what a professional in his job will give you.



Anyway .I want to watch African magic on 114.do as you like with your baby. Na your vagyna go tell you what's up

thanks a milllion. i dnt see where i said it turned to quarrel between my mil and I. . also, seen a paed. he asked me to give the gripe water or gas drops. if that failed, he said to try gerber soothe. he has looked my little one up and says she is fine. some babies cry more than others. just like some people laugh, or talk, or sing more than others. nairaland is a good place cos other people who have had babies can give me clues on how to entertain my baby. it's left to me to do or not.

the paediatrician has his place, nairaland has its place, and mothers, mil and friends have their place.

Weird stuff in here. Having a baby must be such a task.

you can say that again. it's both the hardest and the most rewarding thing you can ever do. my opinion

Bootylicious:
Congrats dear,my baby will be 4 months in Few days. My baby's ped,told me gripe water is nt good 4 babies, try bonisan water by himalayas or cuplation 4 wind relieve, gas and colic , my baby has been a happy michild all tru,no unnecessary cry . My baby sleeps a lot durin d day and awake most part of d nyt,I walk ard wit heavy eyes and constant yawning. My baby has stopped breast feeding,no matter how I try,i end up expressing milk 4her few times a day. Its nt easy being a mum I must confess. May God bless us all. I supply baby clothing at wholesale prices from Dubai and delivery to Lagos, very affordable price and high quality 2B11EC59.

it's hard for a baby to slp at night after sleeping all day. try to keep baby awake after 4pm. you will have more chance of baby sleeping at night.

SAMBARRY:
See a paediatrician instead of using orisirisi experiment on your baby

which experiment na?

I know it's too early. but i have to go back to work. . .

5minsmadness:
Always check the surroundings of your baby if she cries the moment you put her down in the cot and stops crying when you pick her up.
How old is your baby now? From your previous complaints it's like you didn't do exclusive breastfeeding.

Her age will also help me determine what I can advice you in soothing tactics.

i'm doing exclusive o. not even water. i check everything wen i put her down. she just doesnt want to b left alone. as for ahe, she is 11 wks and i feed her on demand. not really timed.

havent been here for a while. and apparently, no one else has either. anyways, since i was here last, she's had her ears pierced, the gas issue has all but stopped. now she can pass gas and belch/burp freely. so, you would think she would be a fully happy baby. NOPE!
Now, she cries at will! wears me out. she is only quiet when she is being fed, when I am giving her a bath, when she is sleeping and when i am carrying her. all other times, na cry. she could be smiling and gurgling when i am carrying her. as soon as i put her down, i have maximum of 15mins respite before she starts to yell again. i have tried leaving her in her rocker to cry it out. she cried for a full hr! i got tired and had to pick her up. i try to distract her with toys, tv, talking to her, playing with her, nothing. she just wants to be picked up. even when other people carry her, she will only stay happy for a few mins before she starts yelling. and my mum and mum inlaw dnt make it easier. as soon as she opens her mouth to cry, they call me to come and carry her. so now, she is used to me carrying her. and now, she will be starting creche soon. i know those ladies at the creche cant be too patient for her...she has some hard times coming. but i'm also hoping the time at the creche will teach her to do what i cant. by the time she cries it out for days at the creche, she will be able to stay on her own. breaks my heart, but it seems that's how it has to be. . . anyone with ideas on how to help a baby learn to self soothe/entertain?

Last night was not too bad. she had her bath around 6pm, was almost aslp by 7:30, but we were distracted so she woke up and stayed up till about 9:30. she is a light sleeper and any small thing de disturb am. she woke up again around 1am, was fed, changed and slpt by 2:35.

I have to break my mother inlaw's heart and ask her to stop the massaging. it's too traumatic for her. makes her cry too much. i dont like it at all. She used to enjoy baths when i used to bathe her. but now, na so so cry she de cry. e garra stop.

also, today, she should get her earings. had her ears pierced on monday. put a thread through it. and now its earing time. . .

I will o. but i think i will try to wait till her gas issues die out. wont be fair to leave her crying when i know it's gas that's worrying her.

and now, she has learnt a new thing o. after she has successfully begun to wake up only once or 2ce at night for a feed, she has decided that every 2 hours na im go sweet am pass! for the last 2 nights now, been waking up to feed her even b4 i have been able to fall aslp.

make una help me!

i have read and read about it, and asked around. i'm meant to bathe, then feed her at d same time every evening. then when she is fully fed, her nappy clean, i put her down in her cot to let her fall aslp herself. she will cry for attn and i go to check her at reducing intervals but not to pick her up.

ikechizoba:
i hvnt,my husband kicked against it,does it work? Cos i dont mind giving it to him

works for some babies. didnt work for mine though. your husband is not comfortable with gripe water?

blank:
Pele my dear, e no easy. For my first son, it was more than 2 weeks but that was because i started late and he is a very determined fella. But for the 2nd one, barely 5 days and he was on my terms.

is 2 months old too early to try?

ikechizoba:
yes,he wakes up several tyms both day n nyt,mostly not because he wants to feed bt because of d stomach pains,evn wen hes feeding,he kips making sounds dat shows dat he is in pains,evn wen he sleeps,he kip turning nd making dose short crys,most tym it wakes him up fully,they said it colics,i dnt kw wat to do

did you try gripe water?

Why should the baby cry after massaging?

As for the gas, watch what you, the mother, is eating. It can affect your baby.

Cry it out method of sleep training is very stressful even for you the mum. .
Good luck.

i dont take any milk, beans, or anything that causes gas o. remain small for me to b eating only rice. i dont even drink coke.

the massage eh, na die! i don tell my mother inlaw make she no do again and she de vex for me.

and she wont let me do the sleep training. she say my own too much. i tell am say when i drop the pikin for creche, who wan de look her face?

how long did it take u to succeed in the cry it out method?

Hallo! I recently had a baby and i've been going through all the challenges and joys of taking care of a new born. so, i thought i could share with other first born mums, and get advice from more 'seasoned' mothers.

Currently, my baby has serious gas that keeps her awake. she cries in her sleep and is always farting or burping. no matter how much i burp her after feeding. I've used gripe water, used gas drops, even the gerber colic relief. none of them seem to work. but everyone says after 3 months, she wont have any issue with gas anymore.

I am also at loggerheads with my Mum In Law cos she wants to give her that african massage when she's giving her a bath but i no de gree. i personally dont see the benefits. I dnt see why a baby who is meant to love a bath will come out of the bath crying and wailing. a bath is meant to relax her not stress her. after all the massaged Nigerians, you'd think we would be world first in gymnastics.

i am thinking about sleep training my baby so that she wont be too stressed when she starts creche. but i know my mother in law and even my mum will not be able to stand the crying involved!

finally, the staying up at night! how are you keeping up with that

anyways, please lets share views and experiences. if not, i will use this place as my diary and keep ranting. also, if there is already such a thread, abeg, direct me there lemme go and soak myself there.

nefertitiram:
Yes na, my pikin fit collect medicaid, sebi e get SSN?
Also, Chicago has a WIC (Women Infant and Children program that covers my baby till age 5yrs). Other benefits are available which I may not fully disclose yet

i think all those ones r insurance options. in other words, na type of pay small small. not completely free

nefertitiram:
Oga/madam worry ooooo! Even my pikin for belle de laff... So you sef don't know why we de go US

2. God forbid if my baby sick, na free healthcare o!

free health care??

(we just filed for a missing passport and got a new one at the passport office)

this means your previous passport is invalid. you cannot have 2 valid passports. claiming a passport is missing immediately renders it invalid.

[quote author=dayo1401 post=29489991][/quote]hallo. just wondering. arent things like finger prints tied to the original passport? i feel even if u get a new passport, by the time u put in finger prints for biometrics it will show she has another passport. then u risk being accused of presenting false docs etc. is it really worth it?

but hey, wetin i sabi? maybe other people know better.

onatisi:
at last people are beginning to see reason in my earlier assessment of the op. He said someone was a fake ,then he covertly said some countries stamps can be gotten .

it was obvious. but i wanted to give him the benefit of doubt while giving him a long rope to . . .

newflame01:

newflame01:

newflame01:

tiebe:
So are you saying that if i travel to any of these countries u mentioned, the entry and departure stamped on my passport are fake?

u never answer o

newflame01:
it means that original entry and departure stamps of these two countries have been bought each month by our own immigration

So are you saying that if i travel to any of these countries u mentioned, the entry and departure stamped on my passport are fake?

justwise:
Can you explain what you mean by that?

exactly wat I want too. maybe there's something we r not understanding.

I'm not clear on what you mean. is it that some countries do not stamp real stamps as u enter and leave?

newflame01:

Cheers.

er. . . i dnt understand. 1 year?

[quote author=abujaniv post=28718957][/quote]Hello, i read on the us embassy website that the there are several uses of a B1/b2 visa and medical use was included. so, I wonder why some people are advised to write the embassy to inform them that they would be using the visa to travel to the U.S to give birth.

if i obtained the visa for a conference, traveled for the conference and then subsequently, used the same visa to travel to visit disney land, I am not required to write the embassy to say i am no longer using it for conference but for tourism. So, why does it seem like the rules change when/if i want to use the visa to travel to the U.S to give birth?
