Ps: Princesses (Twin girls ☺️☺️)

Good evening Mother’s and everyone here. Pls I need guide and advice on items and things to start buying for expecting baby whose gender is yet to be ascertain. It’s about 10 weeks now but I believe proper and informed awareness will make things a bit easier and comfortable. I just want to be guided and well informed

Please Try to demand for hospital needs.. I think it is always written on the the hospital cards.

Boliboli760:


EDD(Estimated Due Date),it is ESTIMATED. Every baby is different.Placenta is intact with no problem as long as you are feeding well. Just take it easy and keep busy in the house and in the other room. Baby will come when he/she is ready.Talking from someone who ended having 3 Emergency CS due to rushing to hospital for help. It is not worth it. My last birth which was a virginal birth and home birth was magnificent.

With all I have experienced, I have learnt it is best to embrace and experience birth in the most natural form. It really helps with your mental health when the baby arrives to have a positive birth story.

Thank you very much ma

Good evening Mother’s and everyone here. Pls I need guide and advice on items and things to start buying for expecting baby whose gender is yet to be ascertain. It’s about 10 weeks now but I believe proper and informed awareness will make things a bit easier and comfortable. I just want to be guided and well informed

Diapers (buy one pack newborn, 2 packs size 1 and one pack size 2, to get you through that first few weeks. Then buy according to size after). newborns can go through 8 diaper changes daily (!!!! ) and boys pee more, but don't buy too many because you can't predict size of your baby and you don't know quickly they will grow (I've seen a baby go from newborn to size 2 in 3 weeks). so at least 1 or 2 pack of newborn diapers will hopefully last you for a week and if your baby still needs newborn, buy weekly. If after it finishes your baby needs size 1, at least you have 2 packs at home to give you time before having to run to the supermarket or market to buy more.

Baby wipes: look for the unscented ones, less likely to irritate skin.

Diaper rash cream: Sudafed is what all my sisters used (especially the one who is a pharmacist). But try and change your baby once it gets wet so it's not sitting in a wet diaper that ends up causing diaper rash.

onesies (if you're in Nigeria, get the sleeveless or short sleeved version. Do the same, one pack of 5 newborn, a one pack size 0-3).

try not to buy too many newborn sizes as babies grow like beans (very quickly). Even better, inherit some from others (I just got a lot of onesies and newborn clothing from someone whose baby has outgrown hers, so I didn't bother buying clothes).

Same with clothes and shoes, try not to buy too many until 3-6 months (God knows how many times I have been driven insane looking for one leg of baby shoe or sock that fell somewhere. And it wasn't even my own pikin sef grin ) get a few mittens until your liver is strong enough to file or cut those really sharp baby nails (because they will scratch their faces).

Receiving blanket, a few caps and some wrappers for swaddling. Ejoor look for really thin wrapper (the old type they sold was better and cotton, a breathable fabric which means less heat. So raid a parent's cupboard for their old wrapper). Or buy muslin swaddle blanket (size 44"x44" minimum).

Burp cloths: I don't like the terrycloth ones (those ones that look like towels) because they don't absorb well. Instead get the cotton clothe diaper (that rectangular fabric that's thick). Works like a charm and sometimes cheaper.

Do you have a car? If yes, get a car seat (convertible preferred over infant but you will most likely find infant more in Nigeria). Chicco and Graco make good brands.

It's upto you to decide if you want to buy pacifiers. One pack should be fine.

Bassinet and cot: if you can also inherit this from someone, do (they tend to be pricey). If not, just buy a travel bassinet and remember some babies hate cots (though eventually you will want your bed back and kick the baby out to their cot).

Towels: don't buy baby towels, they are usually very thin and stay damp longer and breakdown faster (mine was from Mothecare). Preferably buy regular very soft towel (100% cotton) which will last longer. Same with washcloth.

lots of small nylon bags and big trashbags for diaper disposal and a pack of Baking soda and a good dustbin with a lid. When you dispose of dirty diapers, use a good bin with a tight cover and sprinkle some baking soda at the bottom of the dustbin (this helps to trap odours). At the end of the day, you tie up trashbag and take it outside (instead of constantly running after every diaper change to fling it).

Baby set: please look for one that has nail cutter, thermometer, comb, nasal pump, baby medicine spoon, nail file. Avent sells one like that.

No need for stroller, especially if in Nigeria. Which road is not dusty and uneven unless you're in the mall. Get a baby carrier (Bjorn makes good ones, they're expensive but I inherited my sisters own 10 years later. Quality is cheaper in the long run).

Diaper bag: lots of decent ones out there (I got a messenger bag type so my hubby could carry it, my sister used a strong backpack). Look for one that has changing pad inside it.

Olive oil and Shea butter for body cream rather than baby body creams. I hear most of the Johnson's on the market is fake and at least Shea butter is cheap, natural and does a beautiful job, same with olive oil.

Baby wash

Bibs (look for one size fits all).

Treated mosquito net

Bouncy chair and activity gym (so you can keep your baby somewhere if you need to have your hands free, like when bathing or cooking or just watching tv or answering the phone. Activity gym is for when baby starts rolling, put it on the floor (because I'm tired of hearing stories like "my baby rolled off the chair and fell on the floor, should I go to the hospital?? ".

an electronic sterilizer set (microwave) because all the doctors in my house dislike sterilizing tablets. But it is your choice sha. Avent makes one sterilizer set that comes with feeding bottles so no need to buy any more.

Plastic spoon and plate (but you won't need this for a while).

Are you breastfeeding, pumping or doing formula?

Please don't dress your baby up more than you. If you feel hot, your baby feels hot (even faster). If you feel cold, your baby feels cold (even faster). So unless you're constantly in an a.c. on blast, ejoor let your baby relax and use less clothing. Yes, Mama Nkechi or Mama Teni will have all sorts of unnecessary and unwanted advise to give you, but please listen to your common sense more.


That's the basics. As time goes, you will need more and realise some stuff

Thanks so much

Team October mamas

How is it going? It’s getting closer. May God see us through.

My mood this days I don’t understand, sometimes I feel like crying and other times I just feel like not doing anything.

I just want to get my baby things, but things are very expensive now. As a first time mum I needed everything I could lay my hands on.

I will share the list of what I’m getting later and I want our experience mother to vet it for me.

What is the full meaning of BS and LO?. I’ve been seeing the words being used here

It is well. Me sef get mood this season no be small mata. Thank God say the first one no be like this otherwise, we no for try second lailai. We thank God for His mercy and grace.

Rant! Rant!! Rant!!!

Is it compulsory to buy a cot/bassinet? My son would never sleep inside the one we got therefore, I am not sure if I want to get another. The one I got when he was a baby, I gave it out and same for the one I got him when he was a toddler. He sleeps on our bed and I guess the baby will have to join him. I personally do not mind but madam feels we should get a mini one.

Grandma is coming to help with the baby and like with the first one, when she was around, he slept on her bed which I think will happen again with the baby. Not sure I want to get one if the baby wouldn't use it but madam no dey gree understand and I feel it is not worth discussing over and over again.

For those who have toddlers, how did you transition them from your bed/room to their own bed? I am asking because once we get off the bed, he wakes up in less than 10minutes as he loves to cuddle when sleeping. Also, we may need to get him his bed again but he has successfully wasted our money twice.

Hmm I tried to check 2 weeks ago, baby was in a breech position and sonographer couldn’t pick the sex. I don’t think I will give it a trial again oh. I’m not really anxious to know the sex because its my first.

it's okay,it was majorly cos of shopping that made me go check the gender,baby too was in a breech position and my feelings is that it may be wrong but I'm not worried what I care about is baby is doing fine and everything is okay.Either boys or girls may they come out safely and sound including we the mothers too.

A nice topic we are treating here. Going through pregnancy is no joke. You can go through my channel to see the topics I have discussed on pregnancy to help pregnant women and anyone who intends to get pregnant. I pray for safe delivery for all pregnant women.

You can't predict babies o. Your LO may do to sleep in his cot. My son slept in his cot for three more and stopped He always wanted to sleep beside his mother. I left the bed for the ad slept on a mattress.

You can get a mini one like your wife suggested. If he doesn't sleep on it. Na part of the expenses wey parents dey see. It's possible your baby will sleep on it this time.
