Wow. Thanks. Is Cerave available in stores?
That, I don’t know sis. Maybe check the reputable stores wherever you live.. (Lagos?) I found it online on Jumia and Jiji and some other stores so I’m assuming it should be available at those big stores or shoprite

Good morning Fellow mamas smiley, so so Happy to Join this thread again.
I was delivered of a beautiful boy a week ago.
Mummy , Daddy, Senior Sibling and Newest Addition we are all doing well.

Please for our Yoruba Mothers, when I delivered hubby was with me and his Mum was the first person told early in the morning cause I delivered midnight.
I want to ask am I supposed to have called her separately to inform her I gave birth?
She never called to greet me till naming day (same with my first child).
I want to talk to husband man about it or should I let it go cause eee pain me ooo.
My parents and siblings must not hear sef, them go escalate the matter. So I have been telling everyone Mama is doing Grandma duties via phonecalls and apologizes for not been around to care for us.
My mum is not around either.

This one weak me o, this is not even her first time of doing such. I'll like to ask, was she around for omugwo for your first child? May be something happened during that time.
But she suppose think of the newborn na. My mother in law use to tell me that "I'm not here because of you, I'm here because of my child". She use to say that very well and I'll do as if I didn't here anything.
It's obvious she is not happy with you. You need to speak out, let your mum know about it, nobody knows what will happen later.

Please,help the skin for her 20's and above, when they actually need the skin.
At times rashes, come from the products used,I learnt her to reduce usage of soap,oil,etc, change diapers as at when due.
It helped alot with skin rashes, dressing accordingly too.
Some rashes, actually come from within the body,and may need treatment from a professional.
That it works today doesn't mean it doesn't have repercussions.

Thank you ma..... Though someone told me.Thanks for info.

I thought this issue of antibiotics mixture cream was condemned here like 2 weeks ago. Rashes is a normal thing in babies, it will come and go.

Lets be mindful of the kind of combination we rub on this little one's skin. Ampiclox that the smell is even irritating, I wonder how the baby's body will smell.

It is well.
Please am so sorry ooooooo,i did not know oooo,someone told me.feeling guilty right now.

Congrats on the little one!

It's obvious your MIL is nursing some misgivings but I've since learnt that its not everything the eye sees that it must say...

I'd say let it go. Be prayerful and focus on caring for your family including yourself.


Don't stress hubby about it too, he may or may not have noticed but as long as you're doing right to your in-laws God will vindicate you..

It might be teething or just simply reduction in appetite.
Try to ensure he takes as Much fruits as possible to make up for his vitamins..


May I also suggest you stop the nutriben and change his cereal?

You can make Quaker oats and store in his food flask..it can stay for a whole day..

You can also cook ofada rice with unsalted butter, onions ,carrots,green peas and beans..
When very soft, blend in a blender..

Add milk when ready..
You can prepare it and store in your freezer..
Just warm when he needs to eat..

There are different home made cereals that are more nutritious and sweeter than the regular processed ones..


I hope this helps..



[b]Hello ma, pls can you explain further, can i cook ordinary rice with this combination and store in the freezer...?

I am not condemning you but to take caution. We have to be careful of what old mamas out there tell us to do or apply on these babies. It might work today but have adverse reaction in later age.

And please don't apply that mixture on that baby again. Biko maami.

You are not suppose to call her separately cos your husband has called her now. After your hubby's call, she is to pick her phone and call you to rejoice with you. Haba, its her grandchild now. She might be nursing something, someone needs to ask her if you have offended her and she kept mute. Or you talk to her by yourself, she should let you know your offence so you can apologise. Talk to your mum about it, they are both adult women and grandmas, both are experienced so they know how to sort things out. If I tell you to keep mute, for how long will you continue to nurture the bitterness, so its better to speak out now. You have married to the family and now part of them for life.

NB: there are some things that we think "it doesn't count" but end up to be a serious issue within the family.
My opinion.

some people would say let it go but I wouldn't suggest that because most things will let go becomes bigger problem later. There is an underline reason why she is behaving like that towards u. I was to use myself as an example, when my father in law died I could stay in the village for more than 3 days because of my job which my husband was aware of, later I heard that my sisters in law were saying that "if na her papa uko na so she for do" lwas to go to there and talk about it but my husband said let it go. Fast forward to 1 yr remembrance, the sisters choose and bought clothes for themselves, husband's and kids then for my husband and kids but not for me. My husband still says let it go but I was angry about it and tension is building up without him knowing it.

Good evening mothers.
Please, my 15days old daughter cries a lot at night and it's just too much for me because we usually end up not sleeping at all and my mum said it's navel ( cord fell off at 6days) that's paining her that's why. She bought medicine (herbal) called stomach cool (shuaibu) for baby, i refused (because I feel her kidneys are too tender to filter such things) and she became angry and doesn't even answer or help me when baby cries at night. She even reported me to my aunts and they've all been saying their own mind. What could be the problem and reason for such cries and what can I do or give to her if it's truly navel to ease the pain? Can herbal medicine be given to her also so I don't make a mistake in stopping my mum as she's already making me feel like I don't know what I am doing by not allowing her give her the herbal medicine
2. My breast milk pours too much that it chokes baby when she sucks and it also pours and stain my clothes (I have bought different brands and types of breast pads yet it doesn't hold) how do I prevent it from choking baby?
NB: I usually express into her bottles to feed or sometimes throw away and it becomes full and rock hard as if I didn't express it. In fact, I don't make use of the breast pump I bought as it pours out like tap.
3. Just noticed some rash like things inside her veejay this evening and I usually rub ori on it before using diaper on her, change her diaper immediately she messes it and I don't even allow it get full before changing it. What can I use to prevent the rash as it's making me seriously worried o.
This same rash was on her cheeks and neck immediately we left the hospital, it cleared without me using anything for it and now it's on her forehead also and I don't like it at all. What can I use?
4. Whenever she wants to pop, she squeezes her face and makes sounds as if it's strong yet she'll just drop one watery egusi like poo. Is it normal to make the sound and face thing?
5. Oga Google said they shouldn't bath babies everyday. How true is this? Won't it cause body odour as some people believe? For now, we bath everyday but use sponge and her bath wash for just 4times a week.
Help a ftm please and don't pass me by.
Sorry for the long post.

@Lemonadewifey.the Lord is your strength. I can imagine what you are going through. It will pass I tell you. Baby is adjusting being out of the womb. Please stand your ground do not allow mama to give her any herbal medicine, she's too tender for it and her system is still growing oooo. Please don't allow it I beg you.
Talk to your baby and sing to her. The first few days of babies lives is not easy for both mother and child.

For her navel, at hospital we were told to clean it with spirit until it falls. That's what I did and after it fell off I continue to clean with spirit until it healed completely.

For the rash, I use baby tribotan, I don't put it in her virginal ooooo. I apply on her bumbun and around her veejay. When my mum bath my baby she doesn't use ori in the veejay, the veejay cleans itself, just ensure you clean around the clotis and my mum usually use her finger to press the around down because it's swollen. It is better now. You can apply some of it on her face where the rash is. And it will clear. That's what I do whenever I see rash on her face.

I wish my milk flow is as good as yours I won't buy formula. My baby is 10weeks today and she has finished 5 Aptamil formula, we are on the sixth one now. Just express and store in storage bottles, if you have fridge, keep in the fridge. You need to invest in storage bottles. As your baby is still adjusting to flow of the breast milk. If it rushes too much, just pump and feed her. This stage too shall pass. It is well mama. My girl too didn't use to sleep at night but now she sleeps as long she has eaten.

Babies make faces when they want to poop, or mess. Imagine my girl makes sounds whenever she passes out gas and to poop too. If the poop is strong, I help her by giving her water and apply vasline inside her anus using cotton bud and immediately you see her making the face to push the poop out. Mama you are doing a great a job.!!!
