Hi all i'm a new dad in Lagos and i just wanted to vent my frustrations with shopping for my baby here and see if others have similar issues. i'll make it brief because i want to hear the views of others. but shopping in the market is sucha pain, the diapers alone are not only costing me alot but i fear many of them may be counterfeit as i notice most of the sold call super absorbent leak oil pipeline. In addition both Jumia and Konga are selling clothes and toys that in my opinion seem like cheap china products compared to what the prices the list them for. My cousin has graciously offered to include some baby things from the UK when he's coming down for a visit but i dont have the money to order everything for the baby from the U.K. I never thief state money reach that side. And oh, formula, milk, breast pump, drugs etc i really hope these things are not fake because i sometimes wonder if they're working when the baby is vomiting or crying or reacting. Anyone have any horror stories or thoughts to share?

you should move to ghana.

you should be constructive or go back to sleep.

if you have nothing salient to say then pls exercise your right to be silent.

Indeed, it can be stressful.
And for fake products, truly, we can't rule that out.
I will recommend you go to Any shoprite branch close to you. They usually sell original stuffs.
You will be fine.
Or betterstill, you can goggle for shopping for baby in Nigeria, and you will get some directions from there.
Welcome to fatherhood.
Goodluck and keep doing good.I wish you well.
My regards.

Go to shop right or whatever they call it, at least you can get quality stuff if you gat the cash.

Babies are expensive so be ready to spend if you want quality service.

If not do exclusive breastfeeding and after six months, start solid while complimenting on b reast milk.

Depending on your wallet, you can choose re- usable diapers and save some cash too.

Cest la vie, enjoy the joy of being parent

Poster, enjoy d ride into fatherhood!
The earlier u relax ur mind and look for a good alternatives the better.
Stop buying baby things online.
One Diaper brand can come from diff countries. For instant huggies. There is huggies usa,london,turkey and south africa.
Pick a good shop and shop for ur baby things.
China pdts r everywhere but some r good and cheaper too.
Fatherhood is sweet o! Try and enjoy d cruise!

Pls if you still can, send money to your brother to buy things from d UK especially the toujour diaper sold in Lidl. it goes for approximately 1250 per pack but when on sales around 800 naira equivalent. I bought tommie tippee 6 in 1 feeding bottle for 12 pounds around 3k in argos sales. You don't have to shop in next or m&s for baby clothes, they can shop for you in matalan, asda, tesco and m&s outlet store(everything there us on sales). Like other posters said shopright store is cheap. Someone suggested pep store but I've not been there.
