Good morning ma, my baby (she'll be in months old on 3th) has not poop since 4days ago. I dip Rob in her anus 3days ago so she later poop at night. Since then till now she hasn't poop again. She's feeding exclusively & actively sucking.
Pls is it normal? Have anyone experienced it? Thanks

Rob kwa!!!. Sorry ma if i might sound offensive but some of the things you have been posting that you administered to your child seems very odd. I hope you dont end up harming that innocent baby.

Exclusively breastfed babies can go several days without pooping. Its totally normal

Can you tell be what was the package look like for the free one. Does it look like a drug in a packet with devices for administration?

I cant tell cause they administered it themselves. I just know its pinkish abi orange sort of and administered orally. 3doses given 1month apart. My baby only took one though, when it was time for 2nd dose it wasnt available so i just left it. I didn't check back again

How long should one wait before trying to conceive again after a c section?
I'm asking because I've waited 8 yrs b4 having this precious baby so I REALLY dont want anything that'll cause delay (TTC) again.
And what are the chances of having a VBirth after a c section?
Pls Sabi Mama's help your girl out. L4t me be planning for the future.
Thanks always

Most doctors say you need to wait atleast 1yr and 6months before getting pregnant if you want to try vbac. Anything earlier, they might not want to risk it.

OK. Amen. Is it OK to combine breastfeeding +formula till she's 6 months?
Thank you

Breastfeeding is the best for your baby but if you cannot breastfeed exclusively for the period, you can give formula alongside. It is ok to combine both.

Jesuuuu, it's these old women o. My MIL said I shud sit up for old blood to come out. I did only once 3days ago na so bleeding that had stopped will just trip down my thigh. Also she massage my tummy wt hot water which I'm not comfortable with. Today I went for dressing the site is very wet. Should I stopped the massage of just be careful? I'm asking because I'm thinking if I don't massage how will the old blood come out.
Abeg no mind my long episode. I be jjc

You cs site should be dry at all times. You shouldn't be massaging with hot water, to avoid stories that touch. Vaginal birth isnt same as cs o. Hope you are cleaning it frequently with methylated spirit.

Hmmm, 4th tremester no easy o. Immediately we got home my baby didn't sleep. I didn't sleep a wink that night & to make it worse my breasts weren't producing milk but thank God it's coming out little by little.
Shout out to all our waddling mamas. Hope you dey push am. The Lord is your strength. Easy birth injn.
..... BUT I HAVE A QUESTION..
How long does bleeding stopped after CS? Today is my child naming (6day post surgery) but I'm still bleeding. Yesterday nothing came but this afternoon I just saw bleeding flowing my knees. Does stress stress caused it or what should I do to heal up so fast? Also can CS patient do sit up.

The bleeding can last for as long as 6weeks or less, depending. 6days is too soon to expect it to stop.

You moved your head too soon after the surgery. Thats the cause. Speak with your doctor if you are still in the hospital but I know coca cola works for it. You will be fine

Thïefnubu should be held responsible for to his chaos

He sold Buhari to Nigerians in 2015, with false and fake promises

In 2019, when it was very obvious that Buhari was a colossal failure and many people distanced themselves from Buhari,

Drugnubu still went round the nation to campaign and make more bogus promises to Nigerians again

Now that the Naira redesign policy of this failed government is about to truncate his presidential ambition, he is now speaking and behaving like someone from the opposition...

Nigerians are not Stupid like Thïefnubu Ūrchins and would disgrace him at the polls in 7 days time.

I was asked to bath him normal after it. But to use cotton wool and plain warm water to dab around the area to remove any left over soap, same as after each nappy change to remove urine around the area. I applied penicillin afrerwards, though the hospital said i shouldn't apply anything

sugarcoatted, please talk it through with your hubby I personally hate crowded house and I'm cringing at both my mum and mum in law coming tomorrow. Since you are housing his sis, let big bros go stay with their sis or parents.

Thanks dearie. I already compromised with their sister because we had an agreement before marriage about no live-in relative, his idea. So there is no way he can even expect me to agree. Though she has been so helpful, i dont mind her staying at all. But you see this my oga, its a no no. Even with nobody else here, its still a no. If the sister cant accomodate him, its not me that would. This his plan F has failed woefully

My sis don't think it much o, everything will be sorted out if u stand ur ground, infact maybe ur hubby is firstborn like mine n they are seeing ur house as a family house, u won't b comfortable with a man of 40 under ur roof na, haha! Ppl can b selfish o.infact make urself comfortable in dt house like arrange ur stuff n d kid's stuff in both rooms, start carrying face now o don't wait until u go to d labour room o. Cos dt ur plan of staying in d hospital is not d safest for u n baby. A new mum needs privacy to bond with her baby without any form of distraction. Instead of not returning I would rather threatn hubby dt I would excuse them ,then arrange with a friend to stay with (leaving a note for him) for a day or two. By d time ppl come around to say congrats shame no go allow them to say mum n pikin left cos of one overgrown baby of 40

Lol, my hubby is younger than him o. He is the first son. Me i sha know i cannot meet him here whenever i return, its not even possible.

I will suggest that you go for Nan for now except you don't want to do EBF.

I agree with this also. Aptamil is way bigger and about 8k now. Nan is half of that both in price and quantity. Except you do not intend to do exclusive breastfeeding, just buy nan.

They are just waiting to paint u black but it doesn't matter at this point, hmm! This life ehn! I am in same situation o, my hubby has called a meeting to inform them dt his wife can put to birth any moment from now n dt they should move his (in my own case his Dad) to somewhere else cos his youger brother has been with us...na me still use my mouth say make we dey manage but it's no longer funny, even d kids are asking when he will leave cos he's always glued to d TV n d kids are missing their cartoons...n to think dt he didn't marry my mum inlaw but another woman who brings him to our house n leave at every slightest pain d man feels is annoying.

At this point, they should paint me black all they want, i really dont care. The person carrying it on her head to beg for him to stay lives in a miniflat with only her son but she claims our house is bigger. Even her husband abroad is calling to beg on his behalf. Our house is bigger with just an extra room but it currently harbours 4ppl, plus the one one the way and their mum that will soon come. I have made up my mind, i will not come back to this house from the hospital if they dont sort out this nonsense arrangement. The fact that he was already in lagos before calling is what annoys me the most. You woke up in another state, packed your bags to travel to another state to live with your brother without atleast telling him, who does that. Claiming its family. Does this look like the family house?

Stay till December
So if your hubby did not approach him,he will just be there till December? No na,that's not fair!
Since your sis in law is around, which other sibling can he go to stay with? Don't he have friends? Or better still he should go to his parents house while your hubby support them financially with what he can.

He stays in same community with his parents at Ifo, ogun state. He has a rented apartment there while they leave in the house hubby managed to build for them. Their elder sis stays at ikotun, her husband is based abroad. And she is the one begging for him to stay here when she can fully accommodate him. I dont know why she is avoiding it. Hubby has been assisting him financially as much as he can. But with his 5children, its really not enough. Before the wife got tired and left last month. We too, we are just managing. Its really not easy for us. But we still try as much as we can. He didn't even let us know his plans and make decisions, he just appeared from nowhere and expect us to understand because he is 'family'. Its really unfair na

I just want to rant small, not pregnancy related.

Someone please tell me if i am just being paranoid because i am really really upset. My brother inlaw, hubby's elder bro is fond of visiting unannounced. By visiting unannounced, i mean he will just show up at the door without informing anyone. I will give some instances. There was a time DH wasnt around, same as me but i was closer. Dh just called me to say his bro was waiting outside i should go open door for him. I was like, did he inform you he was coming he said no he just called to say he was outside. I just said i have tp finish what i was doing first before going anywhere, you cant show up on a work day knowing fully well we are supposed to be at work and expect me to rush home to go host you. When its not like something brought you, just regular visit. Hubby had to tell him to atleast inform us ahead next time. He now changed the pattern

Sometime in august, he came with his wife and their 5kids on one fateful sunday like that. We were informed when they were already almost at the house, no jokes. These people arrived with a ghana-must-go bag, to stay till tuesday. Meaning they already had it planned out. What stopped you from pre-informing your hosts biko? How do you expect us to feed extra 7 mouths without planning for it? They had to manage what we had as there was nowhere to start looking for what to buy to cook for them.

3rd scenerio is now. On Thursday evening this past week before my husband came home, he called to inform me that his bro just called that he was on his way to our house. I said ok no problem. He sha arrived. Later on, hubby said i shouldnt worry about it that he said he only came to 'stretch his legs' so he expects him to leave the next day. I said no problem. Only for me to realize oga came with a travel bag meaning it wasnt a day's visit. Later that thursday, their mum called to say the guy came to look for work. Like i dont even get it, first of all, you didnt preinform us of your visit, secondly we dont even have enough space for we that live in the house, not to talk of an extra person. Dh is obviously not happy but would be busy pretending everything is fine. On friday, dh came home 11pm which hardly ever happens. Yesterday he didn't leave the room all day, even to eat he ate in the room. When i asked if he wont go and atleast talk with the bro, he said its unfortunate he cant help him. So its me you will now leave your problems for to deal with?

Baby is coming this month, and i cant accomodate any extra person that has absolutely no contribution to make for me or my baby. We live in a 2bedroom flat, the 2nd room my daughter sleeps there with my 32yr old sis inlaw that lives with us. My mother inlaw will come once i put to bed, plus the new baby. So please where is this man supposed to stay? Btw, he is over 40.

A little about him, he came back from SA during that xenophobia period with nothing and has been trying to find his feet. He has 5children, the first is 22. Unfortunately, after they got back him and the wife made some wrong financial decisions that they lost even the funds raised for them after they got back. He is a tailor, this was what he has been doing since i have known him. Anyway, the wife got tired and left with all the kids in september. So he was all alone, he cant cook or anything. So he cannot really cope on his own.

My hubby likes his privacy so much and i know if this same scenario is from my end, it would have been a big issue. So why do i have to tolerate what he would never take? And the fact that everyone else sees it as normal because he is 'family' annoys me. Before someone would turn me to something else. Because if i decide to act mean now, someone will term me wicked and unreasonable. Yet you will see what is right and not do it. I'm really so upset

This morning after my long rant here, i decided to tell dh my mind. So he went to meet the guy and also called their elder sis.


They seem to be trying to use emotional blackmail. After hubby called the elder sis to tell her he cant stay, they have been calling to beg. Saying he is abandoning his brother that let him stay till December atleast, bla bla bla. How would you make such plans and tell us you are coming to stretch leg. I dont understand. Hubby told them he is not having such conversation and he has to leave tomorrow morning. I have decided that i wont talk about it again, i will ignore till i put to bed. Then i will refuse to leave the hospital till something is done. The person begging for him to stay lives in a mini flat with just her son here in lagos too. Why cant she accomodate him? Hubby sha said its impossible as he cant allow same if it was from me. So he cant dish what he cant take

Jesuuu! 4 months? Whaaaat!!! Baby is just a month plus, so he's gonna suffer this till he's 4 months old This is a sad news.

It can go earlier than that, babies differ. When my daught had it, we only massaged the tummy with hot water and towel often, my MIL would also place her on her laps facing down from time to time and the bicycle exercise at intervals too. We didn't give anything and it didn't stay up to the 2nd month
