Hi friends,

Bonny is a lovely place though, i lived there thru university days(my family stayed there) and i eneded up working there for 3 years before i moved to lagos.

It is surrounded by water, it depends on the company that ur oga works with, Nlng is situated there and they have a super cool boat. if not, you will have to join the rest of the peeps on the island to use the local open speed boat.



Tnx dear 4 d info,jade u don hear u better go learn oooo grin grin grin

Ify dear u av 2 let us know what he's eating first cos if he is eating a lot of fibre like eba,bread n thick Golden morn or cerelac n so on without lots of water n fruits his stool will definitely be hard.As for d cough,my daughter had continuous cough although not serious,we gave her diff.cough medicine n antibiotics it didn't work then we were in zamfara,we had to travel down to Kaduna 2 see another Dr and he said we shouldn't give her drugs anymore that she was reacting 2 d air she was breathing cos it was cold then and d drugs actually made it worse and when we stopped d drugs d cough actually stopped,so just let it be it wud stop n make sure he is not around smoke,perfume,dust n 2 much powder in d air....

chrystee: Hi Moms, please i hv a concern. one of my 3 months old twins vomits frequently though the quantity isnt much,it not little either. initially it started with spit-ups coming out of her nose and mouth while she's lying down and she acts like she's choking and starts to cry. we were advised to give her smaller but frequent feeds and burp her inbetween her feeding and that helped a lot but despite d burping or belching she vomits after any slight movement even up to one hour after eating. she breastfeeds and takes formula so i decided to exclusively breastfeed as advised by a pedeatrician as she might be having lactose intolerance but i couldnt cope so i introduced isomil which is lactose free. it is now reduced but its still there and It makes me have to carry her for a long time after eating even when she's asleep just to make sure she doesn't spit up.pls has anyone tried similac for spit-ups, i hear dt it reduces vomitting by 58percent. If I may add, d vomitting isn't affecting her weight gain. She weighs 4.7kg while her twin weighs 5.2kg.thanks for d link on baby poo variations. I needed that info for my other twin.
My dear i experienced dat too, really scarely. What helped was letting dem sleep on their side and elevating der bed; just put something under der mattrass to make it a bit slopey, iused thick cartons

I don't think walkers help. They make the child overtly reliant on them and they become lazy. Do all the others she mentioned. Also, get some of their older cousins that are around the same age and are walking to come and visit for a couple of days. By the time they crawl around following them, they will soon be inspired to walk. But its not a big deal, some kids start walking at 18months and turn out perfectly healthy and very intelligent. Forgive typos abeg.

Jade William: @Hummingbird.My dear;I think d boy dat doesn't tak d BM just doesn't lik it.There's nothin wrong wit d BM since d other twin is takin it.Evry child coms wit its own characteristics.My nephew out of nowhere just stopped takin BM.He'l spit it out or throw it up.U'r lucky he's takin&toleratin d Aptamil.If u keep tryin 2giv d BM&he refuses 2tak it,then u hav 2settl 4artificial milk alone 4him&continue breastfeedin d other twin.Its just d palavar of wakin up at nyt 2prepare milk but u hav 2try ok?Although I noticed artificial milk last longer in d tommy than BM so he won't wake up morethan 2/3xs 2feed him at nyt.Just keep evrythng handy&sleep at d outer side of d bed.FYI;u'r not lazy.Its not eazy takin care of twins.I hail u dear.I don't knw if I hav ur kind of stamina or energy.If I had or hav twins cool shocked
@ Jade,I always wonder y u ddnt study medcine and specialize in gynecology and obsterics grin (its never too late sha)
My boy showed me weeeen undecided,now when I giv him aptamil,he first uses style to taste it first cheesy..(Who said babies are not wise),then if its the formula,he would take it
I jst boil water inside the flask @ nyt,then tell hubby how to prepare it,yesternite he mixed the formula as thick as custard cheesy cheesy,when I woke I almst screamed,I have decided to measure it inside a cup with lid so he can jst mix and give them..that will be much easier
Then my boy has rash like tin on his 'kokoro',I decided to air his bum and added powder, bt what else can I use?
Also his brother is always hiccuping,too much for my comfort.....plus I heard babies sleep routine changes after some weeks,mine stil slip all tru d day,and we always on vigil @ nyt?

@ify,my son was also doin d same thing,pooping bout 4-5 times a day(not watery o)I realized it was cos of d goldenmorn he was takin,wen I stopped d cereal,his poop returnef to 1ce or 2ce a day,I then got him weetabix instead and d pooping returned again,til I stoped it,bottomline if the cereal ure givin ur baby is high in fiber,hez goin to poo a lot

@humming try using vaseline on d babyz bum anytime u change his diapers,I used it for my 1st kid and his babybrother,and I tell u,not once did they get nappyrash,d jelly base of d vaseline acts as a barrier to d wetness of d nappy,so urine dosnt touch babyz skin directly

This lyf is funny. Some people are complaining that their baby is pooping too much and I am here complaining that my own baby is not pooping at all. He can stya up to 7 days before doing anything. I went to see the pediatrician and he prescribed cristal suppository. I inserted it since morning yet my boy no gree comot any drop. I don't know what 2 do. The last time, he stayed 4 days. I give him orange in the morning and also enough water yet nothing. I am confused. Some are saying he wants to put on weight as if the one he has is not enough already.
Secondly, my wrists are really paining me. As in seriously. It started wen I was pregnant and it is still paining me reach now. What do I do?

My dear! U c y I advice ppl 2giv codliver oil.I read an article frm bbchealth cos I follow dem on twitter&they posted somthng abt benefits of codliver oil&i also copied it&posted it on dis health trend.If at 14mths they'r not walkin yet.Its not bad though&since dr said its normal,so there's nothin 2b worried abt cos evry child coms wit its own developmental milestone but as a mother,somtyms u get concerned.I'l advice u 2get cod liver oil (mayb seven seas brand if u can get it);Also,always carry dem less often.Instead,always put them 2stand around d table or bed&keep their toy there 4dem 2try 2reach it.Walker is good.Early mornin sun is good too.Giv lots of milk lik a mother said b4.Its a good source of calcium.Goodluck
No 4: if I mention d thngs dat my sister gives her children eh! Ppl wil curse me tire.Sh's d Nigerian version of hollywood actress Gwenette Patrow.Sh's an overzeleous mum but I'l post it anyway.Hang on
