Thanks mama for this advise as i was going to say d same thing. I remember i was at Ikorodu General Hospital sometime ago b4 i even got pregnant and they were having antenantal. The midwife there was advising on cleaning d breast with coconut water and olive oil so d milk can flow well after birth but she expressly stated that this should be done from 8months upward as it can cause miscarriage if done early. If contraction starts from 8 months and above atleast baby is ready to be born. So plsssss it is not advisable to do that at 5months as it can cause miscarriage.
I just started mine sef as i am 38 weeks today. So the mama that is doing it should plss stop.

Chai! Thank you ma. When my mum told me, I even thought it was to be after birth o. But she later asked me if I have started already. That was why I started o

OmoLayo29:

you don't need to massage your breast now wait till baby comes, you can start cleaning d nipple with cotton wool and olive oil so that d nipple will not pain you when you start breastfeeding, I did it religiously and it work for me. getting breastmilk by force can send a wrong signal to the brain then to the body system

Thank you so much ma. Thank God I spoke up. I would have continued ignorantly o. I was even thinking it's a good sign producing milk early to avoid issues with lactation. Chai! See my life o

Sister pls don't try it again . You are just 5months am saying it with experience. This same act made me lost my first pregnancy after ttc for 10years. I was told to always wash my nipples. This I did . The very day I saw milk like substance coming out that day my water broke and I was just 23 weeks. Lost my lo at 25weeks after all efforts to save him were in vain. If you must do it, do it from 30 weeks upward.

I totally agree with you as I read massaging the nipple induces labour and this is not good for you @ this stage

Just clean your tips with olive oil and cotton wool. Finish

Targatarga, I agree with Beningnasweety if the baby is exclusively breastfed, buy if baby is on formula, it could be constipation. If that's the case, warm water first thing in the morning and after meals will do the trick.
Also, baby wriggling could be the onset of colic.
For you, plenty veggies and fibrous fruits such as pineapples, oranges and watermelon can help.

I started contracting on sunday right from church but since it is not frequent,i ignored it besides tuesday the 4th of july was my antenatal so i decided to wait till tuesday since the contraction was not painful.
Fast forward to tuesday, when i got to the clinic for antenatal i was checked, behold i was 2cm gone. The doctor told me i could no longer go home with the way the contraction is coming coupled with the fact that am way past my EDD according to LMP. Hence, i was admitted but immediately i tried to lie on the hospital bed, i ruptured my membrane.
The doctors kept coming at interval to check how far have gone only to discover am stil at 2cm. Long story short, oxytocin was administered yet i didn't go way past 2cm even after increasing the dosage.
After 22 hours of labour and no progress in the dilation of cervix,i was scheduled for C.S and within 55 minutes of being operated upon,my beautiful princess was brought out yelling her lungs out. She weighed 3.5kg and she is the most beautiful creature have ever seen.

It's fine. Just don't try to suck or squeeze out so you don't start contracting

Anugod:
Good evening mamas, and happy Sunday
Please o, I have a weird question. Please mamas, can anyone tell me what breastmilk tastes like?
I need answers because, I was messaging my boobies with hot water (mum asked me to do this regularly before baby comes), after which I noticed some white tiny spots on the nips which I felt was breastmilk.

Since I'm gifted with large sized boobies, I kinda pulled my nips into my mouth and sucked on it. (Hubby was not around, and might not even get what I was curious about). I felt some salty taste which I couldn't really place. I did it at another time and felt same taste again.


So I wanted to know, please, does breastmilk have a salty taste? Am I already lactating? I'm just a little above 5 months gone.

CC: All sabi mamas, especially those wey don born. Please have you tasted your breastmilk? What does it taste like? Abeg no wake pass me by

I have one story about this breast sucking inducing Labour something. So with my first pregnancy, na so hubby dey suck anyhow 1 night wey we dey do half way as we dey fear to do the whole deed, i woke up with cramps eh, i went to hospital and was told to drink lots of water, rest and gave me pcm, eventually it stopped. As i was gisting my sis she was like ewooooo no allow am suck again oh, so i took a step further i kuku no do the deed again after reading up google like say na exam. Fastforward to 40 weeks, no sign of Labour, my sisters na so i begin do monkey in a shadow style oh, early morning i go begin force hubby to suck breast, i will use vaseline massage taya, nothing!!!!!! ���� after all the breastsucking to induce Labour i ended up with CS. When i didn't need breast sucking to induce me, it did, when i now needed it breast no gree answer me.

Anugod:
My sister thank you oo. Me sef never thought it unsafe for dh o.

I dey tell u o. Na so person go use him hand do himself because of small enjoyment.

How are u and baking bunnie?

Good morning house. Pls I need an advice on a choice of drugs. I went for my first antenatal class and I was given paracetamol, folic acid and fesolate(the red one for blood) I've been thinking these few might not just give my 13weeks baby enough nutrients and growth he/she needs. Im thinking of abandoning those ones to go for pregnacare, omega 3,6,9. Please which one is best for the rapid growth/nutients? Although I have been having difficulties eating or drinking liquid because I end up throwing up. Pls help..

Benignasweety:
then he isn't struggling to poo. He would do that with ease when he wants to. My ds spent about 8days without pooing when he was dat age and even now at 7weeks, he can spend about 3days before he poos very little sef.

OK ma.... Thanks very much

Giddyperson:

See the above quote. Babies do that, he's just learning, when the poo comes out it's still gonna be watery so he's not constipated. You can only say he's constipated if his poo looks it.

Thanks ma..

My princess has her own version. She was sleeping when she did that Beyonce's hand.
