Ok.
Space booked. Will be back to modify.

Modified.
Breastmilk is very important because it contains all a newborn needs.
The colostrum which is usually the first to squirt out is usually thick and yellow. It contains a lot of antibodies that give the baby protection for the first 6months of life when the baby can start making it's own antibodies. It's like your baby's first vaccine.
Breastmilk also contains antibodies but not as concentrated as the colostrum. Usually all the antibodies the mother has ever produced is passed to the baby. It contains about a 100 ingredients that aren't found in cows milk and cannot be exactly duplicated.
Breastmilk also contains the right amount of nutrient to support optimum growth in babies. It is made specifically from a mother's diet meaning you are already introducing your diet to the child even before he begins to eat. Also as the baby grows, the milk composition changes to accommodate the baby's needs.
It is cost effective. No need for bottles, sterilizer or formula.
It promotes bonding between mother and child
It is ready-made. No advance planning, always available and just at the right temperature.
It is hygienic. A breast fed baby rarely had diarrhea since breast milk contains antibodies that destroy diarrhea causing microbes. Their bowel movement are less likely to cause diaper rash too. There is no risk of contamination or spoilage.
It is also more digestible, you will hardly ever find a constipated breast fed baby.
Virtually no baby is allergic to breastmilk although they can have allergic reactions to some food in the mother's diet.
The suction of milk from the breast requires a lot of effort and encourages the optimum development of jaws, teeth and palate.
Some say it decreases a woman's risk of having breast cancer (not proven )




The Bottle/ Formula.
It doesn't tie the mother down. She can work or sleep through the night.
It doesn't affect your diet. You can eat whatever you want.
It allows daddy to share some responsibilities.
It is a life saver. When mommy doesn't make milk in the first few days, when she is sick or dead, baby has to make do with formula.



Most moms already know which they would opt for.
You choose the one most convenient for you and you don't feel guilty. A happy mommy is a happy baby.

Complementary feeding starts from 6months although some say 4 months or when the baby reaches some milestones like sitting up or holding head up.
Usually by 6 months the baby's need begins to exceed what breastmilk can provide. The baby also begins to produce her own antibodies which will be stronger than the ones passed on to her from you.
Formula feeders simply upgrade to the next level. And spend more cos at this age they swallow milk like something else.
The common challenge is introducing other food to a baby. I have found out that from like 3 -4 months, spoon feeding your baby with milk/ formula like twice in a day makes the transition easier. It makes them recognise the spoon and be more open to it later.
At 6 months, your baby can eat almost all you eat but not honey, some seafood and for some meat.
To start with you need to puree the food. Pureed rice/spaghetti and milk, pureed potatoes and fish etc.
Whatever you eat, puree it and feed baby. Abeg no go puree Eba o. You can make very watery amala and ewedu and fish. Watch the sodium they ingest via salt and Maggie and don't be tempted to add sugar to their meals. You can begin to feed mashed food from like 8 months. Mashed food are thicker than pureed food.
Because you don't want to die at the stove, cereals are life savers for in between meals. You can choose to feed your baby with store bought cereals or make yours.
All na the same thing. Don't feed with golden morn abeg.
By 1, your baby should be able to eat all that you eat until they molars come out, they can't grind food so you may want to cut their food into tiny sizes and avoid hard food (like peanuts and carrot) to avoid choking.
If they must eat it, you might want to blend it to paste.

All I put up is to the best of my knowledge.

what do you think?



A wife asked her husband to drop her off at a friends house, where a wedding reception was taking place. He responded that he would be too busy throughout the day in the office, and gave her some money to use as taxi for transport.

He left for the office. The wife took a Taxi to the wedding reception,there she met a fine Girl and they got talking to each other.
Soon they became friends. In the evening when everyone was leaving, the Girl asked the Woman how she was going home. She replied that her husband was too busy in the office to pick her up so she would use a taxi.
The Girl responded; "My boyfriend brought me here and would be coming to pick me up. I just spoke to him on the phone and he's on his way.

Why don't you join me in his car and we would drop you at your house"The woman agreed. A few minutes later, her husband's car arrived. The Girl jumped into the front passengers seat of the car and asked the Woman to sit at the backseat, which she did confused and perturbed. Then the Girl introduced her new friend to her boyfriend. When the man turned around to greet the woman, he recognized her as his wife. Nothing much was said along the way.
He dropped the wife at home first as planned and proceeded to drop the Girl at her house.

The question now is: If you were the wife, what would you do when your husband returns home?

If you were the husband, what would you say to your wife when you return home.

What would u do if you are the wife/husband?

He he he he .... na because say tori never get k leg you still dey vex. We dey here, you shall come and share your BS.

Dont worry it will be well. If you had done any type of lenghty gynea examinations and tests prior for whatever reason prior to getting pregnant, all this "phone searches" will be kinda normal. From cervical swabs, TV ultrasound scans and HSG tests. Not to even mention the myriads more if you are ttc amd they are trying to monitor ovulation.

I pray for a swift delivery for you.

birth story
it all started around 2:40am on monday...i was feeling waist pain and light. for my mind, i said thankGod i didnt accept cs last week. By 6am, i started feeling contraction and its getting intense. we headed to the hospital and was checked , i was just 1cm dilated. due to distance, they asked me not to go back home . so i hanged around. Around 12pm, they checked me again still 1cm...haaa mogbe. The doctor asked me if i want cs and i said no. fast forward to 7pm still same story. thats how they concluded that base on my history and previous scar na cs remain. At exactly10:49pm, Amatullah grace the world.

As long as you are having a "rich" diet! That is a balanced meal you are good to go with just the folic acid for now, but if you are NOT! please get it as your doctor has prescribed because there are many vital vitamins and minerals your body and developing baby will get from the Pregnacare.

Lwkmd, nobody actually told me labour was that painful. They kept likening it to painful menstrual cramp and strong poo.
My own was way worse than menstrual cramp n strong poo. They shud av just told me it was painful so that I could prepare my mind.
