Chanbaby: Hi mamas longest time, how are ur los doing? Aunty Flow knocked me down since oh. Since I have never had this kind of heavy flow in my life, Even DH pitied me (changed pad every 2hrs with intermittent annoying cramps) My dear son clocked 6months a week ago, Introduced Aptamil and pap and he took it, we have been EBF but he eats little per time. Gave him gerber cereal this night and the guy enjoyed himself. I'm so grateful to God @Chanbaby, thank you for checking on us oo!!! Been very busy lately. My own aunt flow came and was just dropping like they say make the thing no drop. So i dont know about heavy flow oh. It is well with you. |

Crime › Re: 5 Nigerians Killed In Sowutuom, Ghana by Akorkor(f): 12:43am On Aug 20, 2017 |
All yeah blaming Nigerians!!! This is the full news The Police at Sowutoum in the Ga Central Municipality of the Greater Accra Region have arrested a 48-year-old Nigerian for allegedly stabbing a man he claims to be a thief. Thompson Peter allegedly stabbed Misbau Amadu, 27, in the head with a knife after a confrontation at his residence at about 10:00 pm last Thursday. The victim was rushed to the Mary Lucy Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival by the doctors. Inspector Kwabena Danso, Deputy Accra Regional Police Public Relations Officer (PRO), said the suspect was arrested immediately the police received information about the attack. Narrating the incident to DAILY GUIDE, Inspector Danso, said a week ago, Thompson Peter lodged a complaint at the Sowutoum Police Station that Misbau Amadu had broken into his apartment and stolen some items. After taking the statement of Thompson, the PRO said the police proceeded to the residence of Misbau Amadu with the intent of inviting him to the station to help investigate the claim but he was not available. On Thursday morning, Thomson reported that he had spotted the supposed thief in the area and so a detective was dispatched to the place but he was not seen. Thompson said at about 9:00 pm last Thursday, Misbau came to his (Thomson’s) house, armed with a knife to attack him for reporting the case to the police. In the course of the fight, Thompson said he overpowered Misbau and stabbed him in self-defence. “The matter is still under investigations,” Inspector Kwabena Danso posited.

blackFTM: Oh my, this page is going very fast, good one. Thanks to the mamas that answered my questions few pages back. Please my baby will soon be 6 month, he has been on EBF. I already know what to start with but my question is, is it necessary to get sit booster for him and can I start to allow him to eat somethings on his own, lets say carrot, apple and other orishirishi? Why in haste mama!!!You may start training your baby finger food from 8 month upward not six month. You are just introducing him to a new world of solid so eating on his own is a NO NO now. Also, sit booster is good. Although i bought it but to be frank with you, i haven't used it for more than 4 or 5 times sef. Who get time? Unless you have time but at that early age some babies wont open their mouth normally so you need to put him in your arms and feed him with spoon with patient. I hope this helps. |

joshipura: pls i need help! my child is three months plus, she is exclusively breastfed but recently stopped feeding well therefore not adding weight. i want to introduce Friso gold rice to her but still confused on which formula milk to add for her to support breastmilk. @quoted!!! Please DO NOT GIVE. Only formula and Breastmilk will do at this stage. Some people introduce cereal as early as four month but it is advisable in western world that it should be introduce by SIX month because at that stage their immune system will be stronger to digest and reject some stuff. |

@hopeonGod, this is serious ohh!!! For a man to be in a woman's bondage it's not always physical. What I will advise you is to go on your kneel and pray. PLEASE PRAY that God should free your husband from the bondage of the woman he's in. If you have the strength you can fast for 3 days like say break by 12pm because you are breastfeeding. MIDNIGHT PRAYERS DO WONDERS TOO.I pray God will give you back your husband. Please don't fight the woman ohh!!! This is a spiritual battle and it's only God that can help you. You are in my prayer sis. |

helovesme: See a big dirt where?
It is impossible to see the inside of an ear (ear drum) without specialist instrument. If there's any ear wax that has pushed out to the outer ear, simply use a flannel or soft face towel and wipe the outer ear.
Check your pack of q-tips/cotton buds. The instructions on it are clear - do not insert in the ear.
If you are concerned about ear wax then take the child to the hospital.

helovesme: Yes. Use toothbrush and toothpaste right from when the first tooth springs out.
Please stop cleaning your baby's ears. It's just too risky. Q-tips/cotton buds should NEVER be inserted into a child's ear. The risk to damaging or rupturing the ear drum is high. There is also the risk of an ear infection
A baby's ear is self cleansing. No paediatrician (I'm not talking doctors/general practitioners masking as paediatrician) will tell you it's okay to clean inside a baby's ear. It's a complete NO-NO.
All you need is to clean the outer ear. This can easily be done using a fannel at bath time. I have been hearing Don't clean their ear for sometimes now but if you obviously see a big dirt , what should we do? Leave it? Clean it? Or allow it to block the ear. Please shed more light because am not understanding |

Damisinto: Any sister here who has coped with raising a baby so young alone while working YES YES AND YES!!! YOU CAN, YOU CAN , YOU CAN!!!. People leaving abroad with no family around do it so you can do it. A quote from a favorite novel says " YOU CAN IF YOU THINK YOU CAN". Please dont leave your job because there is no job outside and your family needs it. My question to you is: Do you have a younger sister that can help or from your husband family? If yes, please let her help out and if NO, look for a creche closer to your office and pop in at your free period. If your HR is the friendly ones let them know what you are going through am sure they will be glad to give you some little bit freedom to pop in and check your lo. I stay alone in another country and this is what i do and God has been helping me so far. Earlier my sister was with me but let me tell you the fact, she doesn't really do much for me apart from carrying my baby. I bath my LO, even cook for her when i come back from work but all these make me a stronger lady because immediately she left i didnt even miss her for once. SO AM VERY SURE YOU CAN. Please don't leave your work. God will help you. |
