Mothers, what do you do with your baby's fallen umbilical cord?

We discussed this during a health talk yesterday, and the answers were interesting:

🍼 One mum said, "I keep it for future reference."

🍼 Another said, "When the baby has colic, I wrap it in a cloth, warm it, and use it to massage the tummy."

🍼 The most surprising was hearing that some people soak it in hot water and give the water to the baby for colic. 🙆🏽

Just to be clear: a fallen umbilical stump has no proven medical use. It should be thrown away, just like the placenta was.

Please don't give it to your baby to drink or use it as a treatment for any illness. If your baby has colic or any health concern, speak with a healthcare professional instead.

@_MzJayde 🥺 Thank you

Nobody speaks enough about the pain you go through watching your parents be better parents to your younger siblings because it's like... "Yippee, you figured it out but why couldn't you do that for me?! 😩🥴

If you are going to eat anything packaged. Please read labels and constituents.

If you have underlying medical conditions like High blood pressure, Diabetes, Kidney problems, stroke, liver problems etc

Take food labels very seriously.

@EmmaOkoreMD Imagine, we now demand for NIN before issuing the certificate to the registered next of kin now

[Child HealthHero @ChildHealthhero]

@Madam_Goziem 😂 why did you keep it?

[Child HealthHero @ChildHealthhero]

@Williams_E_U Abdominal discomfort sir

[Child HealthHero @ChildHealthhero]

@Williams_E_U Much better, because there's absolutely no reason to keep it

I had an extremely preterm baby that needed an investigation. I was called as the registrar to take the sample since the baby was very fragile.

I struggled to get 2mls of blood and handed the sample over to the mother to take to the lab.

Barely 3 minutes later, I heard a loud cry on the corridor. The mother was crying and rolling on the floor. She was difficult to console.

I immediately thought her baby had died. I rushed to the baby's incubator, but she was alive and well. So I came back to ask her why she was crying.

She looked at me, with sadness in her eyes and a trembling voice she said "Sample ti daanu"

While rushing to go to the lab, she tripped, the sample bottle dropped on the floor and broke.

I felt her pain!

[Child HealthHero @ChildHealthhero]

@YourBabysDoctor Ah! Hope she wasn't hurt sha

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
Do you know that male mosquitoes do not transmit diseases to humans because they feed mainly on nectar and plant juices and do not bite people. As a result, they do not pick up or spread human diseases through blood feeding.

📌 Only female mosquitoes bite humans and animals because they need blood to develop their eggs.

During these blood meals, females can transmit diseases such as:
• Malaria
• Dengue Fever
• Yellow Fever
• Zika Virus Disease
• Lymphatic Filariasis

@erickson_egbon @abazwhyllzz @_Kangchi_8 @arojinle1 @Betalife09 @celebritypharm 😂 God abeg, what do the males do then?

[Child HealthHero @ChildHealthhero]

@Doctor_Chichi It's now more common than we think

@Amaddream_ @azucubanna The insecurity in Nigeria, students are even scared to go to school... Talkless forest camping

[Child HealthHero @ChildHealthhero]

@treatpworld She's a bully, some people hide behind their keyboard to hurt people

[Child HealthHero @ChildHealthhero]

Really? I only pointed out that she's exhausted too. The first few hours after having a baby are physically and emotionally draining, very, very exhausting for a woman. If she had the option, she'd probably rather be at home resting as well. It's only fair and reasonable that the person she had the baby with stays by her side to support her through it.
