i know where u learned that. . .

@ Ebony I'm really sorry for you lost, my sympathies

yea, when a baby start choking, i think that is a mothers worst nightmare, cox at that moment you head will start spinning, confused on what to do next.

here is usually what i do

when a baby start choking

Give him/her five back blows with the heel of the hand. Lay the baby on top of your arm, with her head lower than her chest. Support baby’s head with your hand around the jaw and under the chest. Rest your arm on your thigh. Give five blows rapidly between the shoulder blades with the heel of your hand. Then turn the baby over.

Turn baby over between your hands. Place your free hand on baby’s back, and sandwich the child between your hands and arms. One hand holds the chest, neck and jaw while the other hand holds the back, neck and head with her face up. Rest this arm on your thigh so her head is lower than her chest.

Chest thrusts. Push on the chest five times with your fingertips on her breastbone. Your fingertips should be one finger-width below an imaginary line between your baby’s nipples. Your hand should come in from the side so that your fingertips run up and down the breastbone.

i also want you to watch this video from the American Heart Association, just to demonstrate more on what i said

thanks baby

i got it yay!

@ sistawoman

there is nothing to be afraid or scared about. yea, when you had the sex talk with her you probably touched on the body changes too but not as in dept as you would have liked. you probably talked about sex in general like, what is sex, how to avoid getting pregnant, contraception, etc. but not about body changes like breast budding, hair, size, shape etc. Your daughter needs to understand the physical changes that will occur in her body during puberty. talk to her about:

   * Body Fat Increases

like how Her body will begin to build up fat in the stomach, buttocks and legs. tell her that this is normal and that it gives her body the curvier shape of a woman!. Also touch on the body self esteem issue. you know most gals these days are deceived into believing that skinny is the new black. talk to her about liking her body, self image. it is very crucial at this early stage so as to build up her self esteem. the early the better.

*How Breasts begin to enlarge,

you know In most girls, puberty is more commonly recognized by breast growth. When her breasts start to develop, tell her that she may notice small, tender lumps under one or both nipples that will get bigger over the next few years. When the breasts first begin to develop, tell her it is not unusual for one breast to be larger than the other. and , as they develop, they will most likely even out before they reach their final shape and size. As her breasts develop, you know she may need a bra. Some girls feel that wearing a bra for the first time is exciting, it is the first step toward becoming a woman! However, some girls feel embarrassed, especially if they are among the first of their friends to need a bra. Be supportive and sensitive to her needs and reactions.

* Body hair

tell her that soft hair will start to grow in her pubic area. and that the hair will eventually become thick and very curly. tell her she also may notice hair under her arms and on her legs. Many girls will question whether or not they should shave this hair. There is no medical reason to shave; it is simply a personal choice. If she decides to shave, be sure to teach her to use warm water and soap, and a clean razor made for women. It is a good idea for her to use her own personal razor or electric shaver and not share one with family members or friends.

*Height and weight

tell her how her arms, legs, hands, and feet may grow faster than the rest of her body. Until the rest of her body catches up, she may feel more clumsy than usual. Typically, a growth spurt precedes the onset of menstruation (her "period".

*Menstruation

Many concerns about puberty center on menstruation. Spend time helping your daughter prepare for her first period. There is no reason for a girl to be surprised by her menarche (first onset of her period), not knowing what is happening or why. Remember, menstruation may begin sooner than you expect. Certainly, once your daughter's breast development has started, the two of you should fully discuss the topic of menstruation. you can go more in dept with the biology on menstruation like why it is needed, what to expect etc. if you want.

* Hips

tell her that her hips will get wider and her waist will get smaller. and that this physical change also contributes to the curvier shape of a woman.

* Skin and hair

inform her that her skin may become more oily, and she will notice that she sweats more. and this is because her glands are growing, too. It is important to teach her to shower or bathe every day to keep her skin clean, and to use a deodorant or antiperspirant to keep odor and wetness under control. Despite her best efforts to keep her face clean, she still may develop pimples or acne. This is normal because her hormone levels are high. Almost all teenagers develop acne at one time or another. Whether her case is mild or severe, there are ways to keep acne under control. Talk to her doctor about treatment options for acne.

but most important on my list and personally for me is for you to teach to love and accept herself. self esteem and self worth are very important issues so don't forget to bring up the discussion.

@ hawua

if you are going to give him/her eba/garri make sure that it is super soft and make the balls into little bitty and cover it with plenty soups, also make sure the soup is not spicy. no fish bone. as for the rice, make it super soft also, you don't necessarily have to grind the rice with your teeth cox then you have eaten the whole thing with your mouth LOL. so just make sure that it is super soft and the stew no spicy/ if needed dont put too much

Nice advice you got there, sissy

HMM, we all have our phobia, be the reason weak or strong.

Yes yes, I think I'd panic if a baby starts choking in my hand. . . .

Am I scared of having a baby? NO. I rather anticipate birth than death. . . .so the thought of death cannot prevent me from having kids. . . .

Although I understand the point you're trying to make here, it still doesn't change anything.

Happy Easter. . .

I don't mind the thought of children having TVs in their room. Infact, I'm for it.

If you have parental controls on the TV, why not? You can block the channels you think is inappropriate.

You can't/shouldn't try to block your children from the outside world affairs.

If you're concerned about the amount of time the TV's been watched, then make a rule about it, including the time they start/ stop watching it.

Yes yes, we can't always know what our kids are doing or if they follow the rules or not. . . .[i]But [/i]the positives outweighs the negatives of watching TV. Especially if you teach your kids to be responsible

LOL, no rice and pepper. I went Native on this one. . . . Solid food with obe efo (egusi soup )
My belly is so full, I think am falling asleep as I'm typing.

Ahh, thanks.
And it's easier on you. . . .you have the TV outside to yourself if you need to watch it. Just send them up to their room to watch their TV

They would have a children's sitting room with TV and all kinds of necessary gadgets, but no TV in rooms.

I was watching Forensic files yesterday, a little girl got kidnapped, raped and killed because she took the elevator alone while her parents waited for her to get up stairs. She was walking home alone from school. . . .


The point of my "bla bla" is to ask, would you allow your kid to walk home alone and/or take the elevator alone?


Regardless of how safe we think our environment is, evil lurks in every corner.
Sometimes we don't even have a choice to the choice of picking them up or letting them walk home alone. Consequence of a working educated mother (sometimes).

@stillwater. . . .
I'm assuming that you won't restrict your teenage children the [i]privilege [/i]of having a TV in their room?
