Sorry been caught up with chores!


Surely pooping mode will change once a baby starts solids. But let’s clear his bowels first before adding new meals

Thank you. I hope he poops today o

rvpbae:
Senior mums, i need help.

My son is 6months +, we just started solids, so far we do solids maximum of 2times a day. Sometimes, once and at other times, he takes just a few spoons and wants nothing with it.

Since we started solids, sometimes he poops once in 2days, at other times, twice or once a day. Now, this is day 3 and no poop yet. I'm yet to give him any food today, yesterday he ate solid once and 2days ago, two times. He drinks his water well and still on breastmilk.

Please what can i do? I'm trying not to be worried cos he farts ALOT and it is smelly, stomach isn't hard and he is his usual self. Can i give orange, maybe dilute it a little?

Pls answer biko.

Cc babythug

Mum, you have nothing to worry about, so long baby is farting, he is very okay!!!... The other day I went to health centre to collect injection for my baby, it was discussed with us by a health worker... U are good to go mum...

U can mail me - abramorayo@gmail.com

I av something for u, u might be interested...

I hope not to be beating my children. That's a promise I'm making. Though I know it might be difficult, as kids would always be kids.

My mum's discipline for us was correct smacking with tongue lashing.. I honestly don't believe that works, all It did was made me scared of my mum hence we didn't grow close which is something she always really wanted with her children (closeness). I envy people who gist with their mums like they're sisters.

I want me and my kids to be like best friends . God help me to teach my children discipline

This is quite good and I commend you for it.

I’d like to know though what steps are you taking to ensure you follow through? Are you reading up on managing toddlers and how to avoid the usual triggers that make people generally smack thier children?

What discipline methods are you planning to use?

Could you please share?

Just stumbled on a video of a Nigerian wedding held in santorini.... there were purportedly just 14 guests in attendance. I couldn’t help but wonder what is it about this we want an intimate gathering stuff that our people are now adopting. Is it that you don’t like or want people to share in your joy or rejoice with you? Is to save costs? I mean one chick on Instagram also said something about sharing food packs after church for her wedding ceremony..... kilon jebe?? No dancing? No sharing of souvenirs? Please this attitude isn’t African talk less of Nigerian oh

So would you have an intimate wedding or ceremony for any of your events birthdays etc ?
What do you think of the concept?

Maami, that's the way to go now ó.
I remember Moyo's first birthday was a carnival, complete with all the paparazzi. I was still cooking for those that claimed they didn't eat for almost 3 days, after packing party favors for 100 kids, I still went back to the market to pack for 30 more kids that didn't collect and their parents insisted cos they liked what was in the bags.
Even after all the paps, you will see those that will say "yínmu"
So for Múná, parlour party. Only a few friends with kids Muna's age, at most a year older and family. Less cranky baby, happy mommy able to mingle without being run ragged, daddy gisting with his pals with smiles because he hasn't been overtaxed.
I made the food myself, decorated the sitting room.

Although to be honest Moyo got more gifts than Múná but ọmọ the stress was much o

Parlour and quiet parties all the way.

I love love love intimate gatherings. For me it has to do with my personality. I don't enjoy parties that have many people in attendance especially if I am the celebrant.

When there are fewer people in attendance, it's easy to see everyone almost in one sweep and also ensure they are well attended to.

I observed that when there are many people in attendance, I'm always on my feet and at the end I don't get to enjoy the party..too many people to greet, ensuring they also enjoy the party etc.

For my wedding, I desired just 50 people in attendance but my momma didn't allow me. She added 50 extra..imagine
it wasn't that bad after all and everyone had more than enough.

I think intimate does it for me cos the truth is u might not even recognize everyone being that some persons followed a friend down but when its intimate, its more of those u have a relationship with n yea u get to spend less

Maybe because I’m a self proclaimed socialite I don’t mind large parties especially where affordability is not an issue...... one will just have the entertainment and vendors well organized etc etc .

I don’t mind small sized birthday parties but I just feel 14 guests is too small for a wedding ah ah you won’t even share 2 dozens of buckets as souvenirs kilode

I prefer an intimate ceremony..... My brother's wedding, we were not up to 50, makes sense to me, I couldn't achieve this during mine because of the type of in-laws I have. Intimate does it for me any day.

It wasn't funny ó.
The next day, I took big big fish from my freezer (then I was selling frozen foods) from my freezer and served round with rice.
Still some people said ha..... Food didn't reach us on party day, food didn't reach us today again....
Next day, I carried turkey, big big size and cooked rice again...... Served round.
My husband was like ezz like your mumu never do.
All these peeps ate every single time you cooked




@babythug, I like attending large gatherings, I will even dance more than the celebrant but to host one.
MBA.


My Inlaws hosted one wedding about 4 years ago.... From our side, we were not even up to 50 despite being the bride's family. It was sweeeeeeeeet!
Even the souvenirs were on point.... I didn't see one single nonsense plastic bucket or handfan
When they are sharing digital bathroom scales, microwaves and DVD. When the bride refused to pack money .

This group is very ideal,my daughter wants to write federal entrance exam to college next year but i am confused on what exactly we are to read,on how to prepare her for the exam as a parent....

Please,any parent here who will give us a clue?i will be grateful.

I have responded to you severally in my head

Entrance exams into secondary schools are usually a test of maths , English and general/current affairs.

Most times the questions are in objective form. One of the key skills is speed and the accuracy. You can get a selection of different past entrance examinations in many bookshops or in the schools you intend to write exams.

Some parents or primary schools organize extra lessons for this purpose.

If you can do it yourself you just get your child to answer as many as possible of these past questions. Then you time her so she gets used to being timed for exams etc etc

One popular compilation of past questions is authored by and popularly called Ugo C. ugo you can ask around for it

Hope this helps!

Practice, practice, practice

You can ask her teachers for recommended textbooks that cover the federal entrance exam syllabus.

create time for mental sums, spelling dictation and current affairs.

other areas include but not limited to quantitative reasoning, verbal aptitude.

All the best.

Firstly, are you targeting particular schools? Because if you are, then locate a parent whose child got in and find out everything they did. Loyola and Catholic schools have their own separate prep, for example.

For Federal exam, ask her teachers if they are willing to organise after-school exam prep for the subjects she'll be taking. Including list of textbooks and past questions. Her teachers should tell you where her weak points are, so she can pinpoint and use her time effectively (if she needs Current Affairs help, it's to study that in a group format. I would help my nephews and nieces ace their History and General Knowledge exams, because I knew how to cover it better than their teacher. But I couldn't help their Maths). Nothing will improve her English, Spelling and Grammar like reading well-written books. So she should get a book list, 1 a week.

Try and target 3 schools. Approach it like you're getting a job. Also, ask your bank manager, your office and your husbands office if they offer scholarships for Best Student or something outstanding. Someone's daughter got N200,000 from a bank for developing an app. A few kids get scholarships for Best exam score. The companies won't advertise it, so you have to make the enquiries. HTH

I like both...mood and money dependent. What is what doing is worth doing well. The whole point of a party is to enjoy your self so As long as that goal is met..... all options are on the table oh jare.
.
If funds are not an issue and i am in the mood for a big do.........in fact my parties will have hot air balloons, fire works, circus performers and unlimited food and drinks.
.
For an intimate do.... well I will even hire out a cruise ship for my closest and dearest and rock out for 2 weeks sailing somewhere exotic.

So if you ever hear someone did this for renewal of vows.... you know who it is.... now lemme go and look for the money to hammer

The biggest mistake we see parents doing (apart from spending N1.3million on a 1st Birthday Party!! Which did happen, several times) is not setting a budget when planning. The minute you say "I'm looking for an AFFORDABLE vendor for party packs/children's Party", half the good vendors will avoid you. They don't want to waste time on customers demanding a N5000 quality but want to pay N250. But once you set a BUDGET, the good vendors immediately know what to show you, within your budget.

Check out more tips (we spoke to a very big children's party planner and she even said that N1.3m was not that bad for a Birthday Party, she had clients who had spent more )

https://nefescorner.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-a-childrens-party/

I kinda agree with the planner as long as affordability isn’t an issue and the intent isn’t to show off to keep up with the joneses that 1.3 isn’t so unheard of or outrageous!


I have since realized even if you have 10 guests at a party the expenses can run into hundreds of thousands . It all boils down to the individual
