In this case you need to see a doctor to rule out what could be wrong with the baby.
Alright

I was feeding him with syringe but I had to switch to feeding bottle recently.

Am facing similar challenge, gave birth on the 30th May via CS , my sister started using feeding bottle to feed the baby despite the nurse's onition. Now , baby prefers bottle to breast and am still not 100% lactating.

Dr advise constant putting of baby to breast before feeding with bottle .

Mama, calm down, I was also in your shoes six months ago, delivered through CS and baby must eat, so syringe to the rescue, eventually, she refused to suck, if I put her to breast, na sos so cry cry. She didn't want to exercise her cheeks muscles. A nurse actually helped me out one night in the hospital, we sat down at it, she cried and cried and I was also sweating. But eventually she cooperated, so I will still recommend you putting your baby to the breast, it's better like that, or get a breast pump and bottle feed. But when he's not so hungry, continue to put him to the breast and don't let anyone make you feel less than the best that you are. You two will be fine kiss

S/he will still suck grin
I rmbr den, my sis & mum & all around always marvel at how a weeks old baby wl prefer bottle to direct sucking.
...& I was thinking probably dt ws why he wasn't gaining weight . sad
At some point, the frustrated me started showering like 5-6times in a day, with frequent changing of bra , (thinking probably sweat/sth I don't even know was irritating him)

Chai! It was SO frustrating as oga likes food, it became more frustrating wen one 60ml bottle no dey satisfy him @ a feed, so expressing frequently was really a big deal for the just recovering me... Night feeding nko!
Infact, I almost fought my mum for always suggesting we gt formula, I cudnt let anything not too serious jeopardize my EBF plan undecided
To cut the long story short, just wen we wr considering getting bigger bottles,all of a sudden, baba started refusing bottle 🍼, he wl suck till he's sweat drenched, sigh, den smile wink
His grandma wud say; ehn en, now u know d difference....

Hello Mamas

My baby's almost 9 months but doesn't eat well. She has lost so much weight. I tried giving her RELOAD but her appetite is yet to improve. She just leaves food in her mouth and wouldn't swallow. Her only food is pap as she refusednto take any cereals.
All these started after she feel sick n recovered.

Pps help as I am so worried

I think you need to find a way to make him drink more water, cos infrequent urination is a sign of dehydration

I'll be glad if I can get a quick response here

Please mummies and Doctors in the house should help me

My baby of 5months has been finding it difficult to sleep especially at night due to cough and catarrh and I got to the pharmacy and explained everything to the pharmacist and he gave me neofylin of which we've emptied the bottle but still yet the cough refused to go

And is 3 weeks now, I actually thought she's teething but her temperature is not hot

Just the cough and catarrh and I don't expose her to call, please what else can I give to her
Thanks everyone.
I know hospital would have been better but I'm looking at the financial aspect of it
That's why I need something simple but effective.


Hi mama, I used a drug called NOCOF, i got it for 400 in a pharmacy shop and it works well for infant cough. The direction for use for age 6months and below is on it

Hey mama.
So sorry you had to go through restitching and all, you' be fine.
As for the HBP, am almost always on the low side, so I don't know about it, but adequate rest may be all you need to be fine.
Hope you have a good system ?
Make sure you feed well, take your drugs, & rest as much as you can.
God be with you and the new born.

Thank you

If you’ve been feeding your baby only pap, you need to introduce other foods quickly before they get used to only pap and find it difficult to accept other foods.

For me, I never gave my child pap. From 6 months, I started giving her single purées like banana, green peas, oat, rice, avocado, carrot, sweet potato, apples, etc. At 7 months, I started combining 2-3 foods in purées like avocado & banana, sweet potato & fish, oatmeal and peanut butter an also introduced other fruits and foods like yogurt, pineapple, strawberry, pawpaw, plantain, etc.

By 9 months, she was eating normal food with us including swallow, except that it’s mashed for easy swallowing but not puréed. By the time she clocked 1, she was a pro in eating anything and everything.



Please ma did you mix the puree with their formula or can I do that?

How often did u feed in a day(six month) also quantity

My baby will be six month tomorrow
