Hello mummies in the house...

Please, when can I introduce formula to my son? Considering that I'm to resume back to work in the first week of January.
He'll be 3months by 26th of this month..
And which baby formula is the best for his age?

Thank you for your swift response �

Please what can be used to make baby's cord come off, it's 9 days already, I clean regularly with methylated spirit and also use a little bit hot water to press it after bathing

I used Chlorxy-G Gel for my son after each diaper change and it fell on the 7th day

What's your location?

BS! BS!! BS!!!
Long post alert. Grab a bucket of popcorn.

I had my court wedding in August and decided to start trying for a baby after the traditional wedding in October. Fast forward to December when we traveled for Christmas celebration I was unable to participate in the activities due to tiredness, I then told my DH that I needed to do a pregnancy test... It came out positive. I've never seen my DH so happy

January came and on the 2nd,i started having cramps, I went to the hospital and my pregnancy was confirmed with blood test. The doctor also assured me that the cramps was normal in early pregnancy. By the time I got back home from the hospital, I started spotting and by the next day the cramps had increased with bleeding this time. I went back to the hospital and requested for a scan. To cut the long story short, I lost the pregnancy
I cried all through the night but thank God for my DH and sweet sister-in-law.
Prior to the pregnancy, I've been taking my folic acid religiously and the still continued through the miscarriage.
My Doctor also advised that we start trying again as soon as I feel up to it since we both don't have any complications.

By February, my DH asked me what I wanted for my birthday, and I told him a two thick lines on my PT strip and we prayed about it with faith.
Few days to my birthday, I became sick, I did the home PT and it came out negative I was discouraged but I didn't loose hope. The sickness persisted with very high fever at night but I refused go to the hospital and didn't take any medication too.

My birthday passed, I was still sick, cough and catarrh won't let me be(thank God it wasn't covid time ), DH encouraged me to test again but because I didn't want the negative result to weigh me down, I kept on postponing and gave excuses.
One morning, I decided to summon courage to test since I have been having same symptoms as I did with the first pregnancy and viola... It came out positive. I was happy about it but was scared because of the previous miscarriage.

First trimester was tough for me, I threw up all through, (on the street, at work) couldn't eat all the things I loved. At around week 9 of my pregnancy, I was admitted in the hospital but that didn't stop my sickness (the lockdown really favored me sha).

Second trimester was the best, though I get irritated easily and didn't like some people getting close to me I was very active even at work.

Then came the almighty third trimester and we were still alright, I didn't miss work aside my antenatal days. My office is on the 3rd floor and toilet is on the 4th floor and 2nd floor but as I couldn't but urinate na, I took it in good faith and also used it as an avenue to exercise.
At 34 weeks, I went for scan and baby weighed 2.3kg then I told myself that this baby must not weigh more than 3kg at birth then I became selective with food.
At 36, it was dawned on me that I was pregnant, stairs climbing became tedious, my walking steps were like that of a duck with pelvic pain.
At 37 weeks, I started feeling cramps and back pain but was still going to work.
Then on the 18th of September the pain was intense and I was advised to go to the hospital. I went as advised and was examined but the doctor said the cervix was still closed and was so I was given paracetamol
The next day, I still went to work but I was very late and immediately I entered, my boss knew something was wrong with me and told me to go home. I applied for my maternity leave before leaving work that day.
Starting from that night, my DH got me loads of pineapples and I started taking it with the ewedu juice (that ewedu juice disgusts me) but I didn't stop taking it morning and night.
I took evening walks and danced before bedtime too.

Fast forward to 25th of September which happens to be my normal antenatal day, I went to the hospital and saw the doctor and told him how I was feeling, he examined me and said I was 2cm dilated... My heart skipped, he said I will be admitted.

I was admitted and on the next VE, I saw lots of brownish discharge on the nurse's glove and she said I was still 2cm dilated but I should tell my husband to bring my bag. That's how I slept at the hospital with 2cm oh.

The next day which was the deal day came, the nurses came to call me for VE but was scared of going because of the discomfort. When I eventually went around 10am, I was 4cm dilated and the doctor told nurse they'll start the drip in an hour.
Around 10:15, doctor changed his mind and told me he wanted to break my water. Then the nurse brought that wicked drip Chai... My vision got blurred immediately
Labour pain no be beans oh, at some point I begged them to let me talk to my husband so that he can sign for CS
I can't begin to explain all that happened and all I said while in labour.
At around 2:30, I was asked to push when I have the urge to, so I did and on the third push my prince was out and all the pain was gone, I felt relieved and plancenta followed.
I was stitched and cleaned up and my baby was brought to me. He weighed 3.2kg.


Childbirth is really divine, may God bless all mothers and plenty baby dust to all TTC mothers. May you carry your bundle of joy soon in Jesus' name. To all our belleful mothers, there shall be no loss in Jesus' name.

Today is our first wedding anniversary and we have our baby as a gift.

Just seeing this name and you're team October. I'm bringing cane for you.
Anyway, menstrual cramps could mean the onset of labour. Since it's your first time, check at the hospital.
