With my daughter, if you like use syringe oh - put the drug under the tongue or by the side she will spit everything out. or hide it in her mouth then when you look away she will turn her head to the side and bring out everything. So i had to do it the "soldier way" (I know some mothers will crucify me now but its for her good and also mine). I spank her a little on her toes, once she opens her mouth to cry i quickly drop the drug and next thing she swallows it. Then i pet her. shikena

I also discovered another way to make her swallow drugs. i tickle her then while she opens her mouth to laugh i quickly drop and kpere she swallows it - mission accomplished.

grin

Soldier way works for stubborn little boys more than sweet babies in my family. I have used a live chicken to scare someone to screaming point just to get him to eat his food. He may need Therapy when he grows up but he finished that food that afternoon. I also threatened to hold another one under water in the bathtub if he kept annoying me.

Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by Onegai(f): 3:14am On Oct 10, 2015
SAMBARRY broken it down before let me down again


parlour Parry means small party. The child doesn't have to invite all his classmates in school and Sunday school class. Tell him to just invite 3 of his close friends in class
3of his close friends in the neighbourhood and 3of his close friends in church making 9 children


there are affordable low price cakes. Find one struggling caterer you can tell to bake you better cake of not more than 5k.at most 7k



rice of 8 derica is ok . One derica is 200 naira, so making it 200naira x 8 cups is1600 naira.


tomato 400 naira, pepper 200 naira is ok then 100 naira onions, 50naira Maggi, thyme of 80 naira making it 830naira then buy 2kilo of turkey. A kilo is 800 naira so 2 will be 1600 naira




photographs shouldn't be more than 2k

A pack of plastic coke is 2k.mix it with fanta another 2k making it 4k.no need for dj.na parlour party. Just make the environment children friendly and put children music on


those that want to play video game should go to another section of the sitting room

No need to buy water. Water is in the dispenser near the dinning table. Any child that wants water should indicate


then pack of sweet is 400 naira

Big bowl of ice cream is 1500 just pour some inside small plastic cups for them


decorate the sitting room with balloons. Just buy 150 naira balloons


calculate all that money and tell me if e reach 10k talk more of 40k


.you people just believe that if you've not done a big party for kids you've not done anything


souvenirs too shouldn't be too expensive. Inside the souvenir will be exercise book of 100 naira. Put 3sweet and 3chewing gum. Buy sweet of 3 ten naira and chewing gum 10 naira making it 20 naira. Put eraser 5m 30 naira and pencil 10 naira inside the souvenir small nylon as take away for 9 kids lobatan

The reason why kiddies party go overboard is because of ADULTS. at the end of the day you displace the kids and the kids have no other choice than to sit back and watch. Some adults don't even know their actions make kids feel bad


Ask him to invite his friends and classmates His birthday is all about celebrating him and not you. Put them in groups, find a couple games for them to play( including board games), take pictures while they are doing one activity or the other, cut the cake when it is almost time, serve them the food then send them off to their homes.

It is his birthday not the family's. That is why he should be the one doing the invitataon. You want to have a personal swell time, get him involved in the food preparation (he can help out with the tasting and mixing albeit with your supervision), also you can ask him to choose the colours for the decoration.

Please don't act like our typical Nigerian parents who turn their kid's birthday into a society affair. There is no reason for an adult to present at a kid's birthday. You don't need speakers or chairs, if your living room is big enough- decorate it for them. You also do not need 20 kids, there is nothing wrong with having 10 kids around.

@onegai,

The problem is this phrase in Yoruba "I hear, I branch"

Those kids will invite their siblings and neighbours. Then the neighbours will invite their own friends too.

Be sure to check with your health care official first to weigh your options cos the early (at least 2 months) after childbirth the better to prevent 'gbege' . Natural family planning is good without side effects.

I had a Minnie Mouse themed party. Ordered all the Minnie Mouse deco and stuff from aliexpress In china

Decorated the house
Ordered a Minnie Mouse cake
Then a cold stone cake for the adults
Got a caterer to cook
No party pack. Think it's ridiculous for a one year old birthday
Bought some ice cream
Bought some soft drinks
Got a good photographer cuz I wanted a photo book - memories
Invited friends that had kids and also family

Total of 50 people or less including the kids

Had it all in my sitting room

Good morning house, pls my LO took the bcg vaccine 12 days after birth and up till now she does not have the scar to show for it(she will be 3 months old tomorrow). Do i need to go back to the hospital to complain or its normal for some people not to have the scar.
Abeg also i need methods to get my baby to take bottle o, i've been on that now for a week and i'm no way winning. Resumption back to work is knocking on my door and i'm scared of starting creche for her. Thanks peeps

@keji3, I didn't notice the bcg scar on my baby till he was 4 months. I think u should chill for some time, other mammas can add sha.
I never won bottle feeding with my baby as well, I just started spoon feeding him with the formula and he took spoon better than the bottle. Spoon may be slow though just be patient.

Ok dear thanks. Actually thought u were talking about all those things we read about radioactive stuff in microwave. Pls send d picture of d flask.


The smallest flask in the image didnt keep water hot up to 2 hours but the others did for 2 days, so i just guessed its because that one is stainless and not colour coated like others. I use the food flask there, next to the stainless for her pap and it keeps it fresh and hot.

Wait till she's hungry before offering her a bottle.
Let someone else also feed with bottle and try to step outside the environment she may accept it.
Some children move straight to spoon and bowl. Explore that too

Abeg my question be say I circumcise my boy at 5 weeks and he is going to 7 weeks now the ring never fall off o. My hubby wants to take him to the doc that did the circumcision to remove it but am afraid of bleeding.

Is this normal? I want to chill till the 3rd week and see if it will fall off but hubby thinks otherwise. We did the plastibel (ring)

Secondly also did his bcg immunization same time but he was given on his lower arm. I asked the nurse why cos I tot its usually on the upper arm . She didn't give me any satisfactory response so I say make I ask sabi mamas here o. Thanks for your answers

Ooooo, I never knew they have food flask too.

I use the haers stainless flask, it keeps water hot for 2 days.

Maybe that one is fake or bad production.

Did you fully immerse it in water?

Howdy, how baby, don't know much about this cos my big kid's few off within 5days & LBK's was done & wrapped with GAUZE....

...so asked for an Expert's opinion & was told to ask you to go to the hospital as it's supposed to fall off at most within 10 days & the that immunisation on the forearm too is strange...
